"fine."

Huang Bo shook his head. "What kind of relationship do we have? Why are you telling me this?"

Lu Aihua then realized what was happening and gave Wang Qian a questioning look, "Xiao Qian, did Mom say something wrong just now?"

"Auntie, you didn't say anything wrong!"

Before Wang Qian could answer, Huang Bo interjected, "Don't listen to Wang Qian's nonsense, he just likes to joke."

"But……"

Before Lu Aihua could say anything more, Wang Yuanguang rushed back from another room, carrying a bottle of medicinal wine. "Come on, quickly rub it on Xiaoyu. I got this medicinal wine from Feng Guangrong. It's super effective for sprains and bruises."

Wang Qian took the medicinal wine from Wang Yuanguang and said to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, sit down. I'm going to help you take off your shoes. It might hurt a little, so please bear with it."

"Mmm!" Lin Xiaoyu nodded, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness and emotion.

After taking off her shoes, Lin Xiaoyu's ankles were indeed swollen.

Wang Qian poured out the medicinal wine and carefully massaged Lin Xiaoyu's ankle.

Meanwhile, Wang Dalin and Lu Aihua pulled Huang Bo aside and asked him all sorts of questions.

Huang Bo seemed to enjoy the conversation with the two elderly people, answering almost everything they knew and sharing his thoughts. He even inquired about their health.

Aside from being somewhat polite, his concern for the two elderly people was quite genuine.

During their conversation, the two elderly people learned that Huang Bo had been an orphan since childhood, did not know who his parents were, and was still unmarried.

Although he went to university, studied law, and is now a lawyer, the money he spent on his studies was sponsored by a kind person.

The most dramatic part is that Huang Bo still doesn't know who funded him.

Because the funding was anonymous.

Huang Bo also made inquiries from various sources, including schools, police stations, and banks...

He had inquired about everything he could, but the relevant departments unanimously stated that the sponsor did not want Huang Bo to know his identity and forbade him to disclose it.

So much so that even after Huang Bo had entered the workforce, he still didn't know who his benefactor was.

"Huang Bo, I'm sorry. Your aunt didn't know about your situation and said some things she shouldn't have. I hope you won't take it to heart."

After hearing Huang Bo's account, Lu Aihua hurriedly apologized.

"Auntie, please don't say that, it's nothing!"

Huang Bo pointed at Wang Qian and said, "My relationship with Wang Qian is like that of brothers. If you say that, you're being too formal."

"It's good that you didn't take it to heart!"

Lu Aihua smiled with satisfaction, then cast a questioning look at Wang Qian.

"Mom, don't look at me!"

Wang Qian said at the right moment, "Although Huang Bo likes to do some underhanded things, he is really good to me."

He paused for a moment and then added, "When I was in college, my family was very poor. Many times, the living expenses I received from home were not enough. But when I was short of money, Huang Bo would treat me to meals."

"Another time, we broke a classroom window while playing basketball. The school originally wanted me to pay for it, but I didn't dare ask my family for money. Huang Bo paid for it for me."

"besides……"

Wang Qian wanted to continue talking about his past with Huang Bo, but Huang Bo interrupted him, "That's all in the past. Can you stop being so mushy? I get goosebumps just thinking about it."

Wang Qian smiled and said no more.

He came back this time not only because he had been away from home for a while and missed his family, but also because he specifically brought Huang Bo to meet his family.

If there's anyone in this world he can trust, Huang Bo is definitely one of them.

...

Night fell.

After dinner, Wang Qian and Huang Bo sat in the courtyard.

On the table in front of the two men were a jar of wine and two bowls.

"Wang Qian, thank you!"

Looking up at the stars in the night sky, Huang Bo poured himself two bowls of wine and handed one of them to Wang Qian.

"I've lived in a very unreal world since I was a child. Today, you've shown me what real life is like. Here, I'll toast you with this bowl!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Wang Qian took the bowl, clinked it against Huang Bo's, and drank it all in one big gulp.

Huang Bo also downed the wine in his bowl, leaned back in his recliner, and sighed, "Honestly, I'm quite envious of you!"

"What do you envy about me?"

Wang Qian asked, "Your life is free and unrestrained; isn't this the lifestyle you've always pursued?"

"But behind that carefree attitude lies endless loneliness!"

Huang Bo smiled bitterly, "Life is only a hundred years long, and I don't know why I live. If I die one day, no one will be sad for me, but you are different!"

He glanced at Wang Qian and continued, "You have a happy family, people who care about you, and you are now the pillar of your family. You need to live for your family."

Isn't this a kind of bond?

Wang Qian said thoughtfully, "I remember you really dislike being constrained."

"That was just something I said in a fit of anger."

Huang Bo shook his head. "It feels really good to be needed. No matter what, there's always someone thinking about your safety, whether you're hungry, whether you've been wronged, and what you're thinking."

"No matter how hard or tiring it is, you'll feel that all the effort is worthwhile!"

"This, perhaps, is the meaning of life!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qian simply raised his bowl in acknowledgment.

He specially brought Huang Bo to his home, not only out of gratitude and to treat him like a brother, but also to let him experience the warmth of family and the everyday life of ordinary people.
