"Brother, but you can't swim!"

Gao Siming tapped Li Nan on the head and chuckled, "Would you believe me if I said I forgot?"

Li Nan smiled foolishly, "Brother, I believe you, I believe whatever you say!"

After saying that, he silently added in his heart, "You will always be my big brother!"

Trust between boys is often just that ordinary, simple, and unpretentious.

However, so-called trust is often just a one-sided effort, much like unrequited love!

After Gao Siming got ashore, he noticed the conspicuous scratch on the railing, even though Li Nan wasn't looking at him.

A smooth scratch, half the depth of the wooden fence post, can't be just simple wear and tear, can it?

In Gao Siming's mind, Gou Dan said unhappily, "Brother, see? Even Li Shazi is treating you like this now!"

Rose chimed in, adding fuel to the fire, "There isn't a single good man in this world!"

"I seem to have been too good to this idiot before!"

"Little brother, I've suddenly had a great idea, listen..."

"Sister is so clever! This idea is brilliant—killing two birds with one stone!"

"Perhaps it's not just a pair of eagles!"

"Haha, this is fun, this is fun!"

Li Nan was naturally unaware of the storm of conversations raging in Gao Siming's head. Even Gao Siming himself seemed completely oblivious to today's exchange.

Before long, Li Nan had already carried Gao Siming to the villa entrance.

From afar, one could see Gao Zimin standing at the door with a frosty expression.

"Sister, what brings you here?" Gao Siming asked first, not wanting his sister to scold Li Nan.

"Never mind how I got here, I just want to know, Gou Dan, what were you doing out there running around! Why are you all wet!" Gao Zimin stood with her hands on her hips, looking just like an angry compass. In a moment of excitement, she called out Gao Siming's nickname, "Gou Dan, tell me, what exactly happened!"

Li Nan didn't want Gao Siming to be scolded, so she quickly explained, "Sister, listen to my excuse, it's all my fault!"

Gao Zimin completely ignored Li Nan's words, "What are you still standing there for? You're all wet and drenched, are you trying to catch a cold? Hurry up and go inside and change your clothes!"

"Okay, sis, right away!"

Li Nan carried Gao Siming and quickly ran into the bedroom. Although Li Nan was a little shorter than Gao Siming, he had gained a lot of weight during his years at the Stability Division, and Gao Siming's clothes fit him fairly well.

After the two changed their clothes and came out, Li Nan took the initiative to admit his mistake. Hearing that it was because of the property management of the community, he asked the two a few questions and then turned his anger on the property management.

"Damn property management! You caused my dog ​​to fall into the water. I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

Li Nan silently apologized to the property manager and quickly tried to distract herself.

"Sis, is Gou Dan (Dog Egg) Gao Ge's nickname? I've never heard of it before."

Upon hearing Li Nan's question, Gao Zimin burst into laughter, while Gao Siming's face suddenly darkened.

"Don't listen to my sister's nonsense. My name is Gao Siming, not Gou Dan!"

"Haha, Xiao Li, want to hear it? This is your brother Gao's embarrassing history!"

Gao Siming's face grew increasingly dark, as if ink were about to drip from it.

But at this point, Li Nan's gossip fire had already ignited. How could he not listen to Gao Siming's dark history and do justice to the hard work of carrying him all the way here?

"Sis, is this something I can listen to?"

"sure!"

"Can't!"

The siblings answered in unison, but not in the same way.

Gou Dan was originally Gao Siming's nickname. There's a saying in rural areas that the more humble a child's name is, the easier it is to raise them.

Thus, Gao Siming got this simple, down-to-earth, and somewhat rustic nickname.

This name is indeed well-chosen. When he was a child, Gou Dan was strong, very smart, and very active. He was the type of naughty kid who would climb on the roof and tear off the tiles if not disciplined for three days.

Every household in the village knew that the Gao family had produced a little tyrant who was not to be trifled with.

Unfortunately, in the midst of Gou Dan's impetuous and unrestrained behavior, his dark history was born in this summer when he was seven years old!

Like many children his age, Gou Dan's first defeat came from the village's goose.

Gao Zimin didn't see how Gou Dan teased the goose before; she only ran out of the house after hearing her brother's screams.

From afar, we could see Gou Dan frantically running ahead, attacking from both sides.

The goose at the end of the village was honking loudly, relentlessly chasing after them.

Dog Egg must have been terrified, running left and right all the way, completely forgetting to run towards home.

Instead, they ran further and further away, eventually leaving the village.

Gao Zimin found it amusing at the time, so she quietly followed behind, watching her younger brother's embarrassing situation from afar.

Not long after, a small accident occurred. In his panic, Gou Dan, in an attempt to escape the goose's pursuit as quickly as possible, plunged headfirst into the small river by the village.

Gao Zimin suddenly realized, "Oh no, my brother is afraid of water and can't swim!"
