"Big brother didn’t have a choice either." Nan Baihao retorted, glancing at Chenxing, "Sending Sheng Sheng away, big brother is the one who feels the worst about it. Any of us can lose our temper, complain about big brother, but he can’t complain to anyone. All the anguish is bottled up inside him. Chenxing, please don’t let this thing create distance between you and big brother."

Nan Baihao is currently most afraid of being skinned alive by Gu Shaocheng, so he’s earnestly persuading Chenxing: "In the past two years, most of what big brother has done is for one goal: to break into America’s aristocratic circle, not only to stand firm but also to stand out, and establish relationships among those politicians, businessmen, those noble families, aiming to become the president of Skull Society. That way, he would have the opportunity to manage Skull Society’s affairs, even if Sheng Sheng is sent away, he’s still under his wings."

"Who knew that with all the calculations, we didn’t foresee that the election for president would be delayed slightly by Sheng Sheng being taken away. If the timing had been right, if big brother became the president just as the deadline arrived, we wouldn’t be in this situation where Sheng Sheng has been away for a month and we’re completely helpless!"

"However, Chenxing, you must have faith in big brother. The election for the new president is in just over ten days, and big brother must win this presidency. Once big brother is the president and involved in Skull Society’s internal management, Sheng Sheng is effectively still under big brother’s management, no one can bully him. Now is the critical time for the election, big brother has been mingling with various noble families lately to gather votes for the election, you can’t disturb him at this crucial moment, got it?"

"Even if you’re unhappy about this, wait until big brother becomes president, then make him kneel on instant noodles to punish him, I won’t say a word, I’ll even say he deserves it!" Nan Baihao walked up to Chenxing: "Everything I say is true, just act like you don’t know, don’t add to big brother’s troubles, understand? In all these years, big brother has never asked anyone for anything but because of this matter, he will lower his stance to do what he doesn’t want to do, he is really trying to make amends. We all need to trust him."

Chenxing remained silent, walking out of the Nan Family, distracted on the road, looking at every blade of grass and tree by the roadside, thinking about how she often held Sheng Sheng’s hand walking along this path.

"Chenxing, what are you up to?" Gu Shaocheng called, not busy at the moment.

Chenxing was silent for a long time, finally suppressing her anger and resentment, tilting her head to keep tears from rolling out, she said: "Hmm, Shaocheng, I’m just taking a walk, and you?"

"Resting at the hotel." Gu Shaocheng opened the hotel room window, standing by the floor-to-ceiling glass, looking at the sky to the north: "Did you sleep well last night?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"It was alright, just that Zun Zun wet the bed again, I was thinking about buying a waterproof sheet." Chenxing casually talked about trivialities.

Gu Shaocheng thought of something amusing and chuckled on the other end of the call.

Suppressing her real emotions, Chenxing asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Oh, suddenly remembered when laughing, a certain girl liked to wet the bed too, my driver used to be very troubled by it. It’s true that if the upper beam isn’t straight, the lower beam is crooked."

Chenxing couldn’t laugh, intentionally snorted twice: "It’s normal for kids to wet the bed, I bet you did too, why make fun of me."

Gu Shaocheng raised his eyebrows, imagining himself wetting the bed and decisively finding the picture lacking beauty, so he changed the topic: "Do you miss me?"

"No." Chenxing replied, adding a sentence: "I miss my son."
