What Mo Ce really wanted to say was, "Can we stop being so modest? This is just a trivial skill? Then tell me, what isn't a trivial skill?"

But Shang Lin replied in a particularly discouraging way: "It can't be spread. Besides, ordinary people should stay away from these kinds of messy things, lest they keep running into these kinds of messy things in the future, which would be extremely troublesome. I find it so troublesome that I can't stand it."

Mo Ce asked, quite puzzled, "What's wrong with being a superior person? Who doesn't want to be better than ordinary people when they're young? Aren't you young yourself? Why do you speak so maturely?"

In my youth! Shang Lin really wanted to say, "I just have a youthful face, but I have absolutely nothing to do with being young. 'Old-fashioned' doesn't even begin to describe how old I am!"

But all I could say was, "That's true, but people's thoughts are ultimately different. And unless you're in the situation, how can you know whether something is good or bad?"

Mo Ce and Han Ze both agreed with this, but the next second Mo Ce asked, "Little brother, are you really seventeen? Or do all you experts talk so maturely?"

Shang Lin immediately revealed a shy smile typical of young people. "I really am seventeen years old. Maybe it's because I've experienced a lot that I seem a bit older?"

Han Ze asked, with a gossipy air, "Is your younger brother ever scared?"

“Of course!” Shang Lin continued frankly, “So many times, I especially wish I were just an ordinary person.”

Han Ze and Mo Ce both fell silent. They soon arrived at their sister's house. This neighborhood was obviously newer than Han's, mostly consisting of high-rise buildings, with two super high-rise towers.

Shang Lin looked up, trying to count how many floors the penthouse had, but the windows on the upper floors looked small and close together. Before he could even count to twenty, his eyes were already blurry. He immediately looked away, wondering when his curiosity had become so strong.

However, Mo Ce and Han Ze thought that Shang Lin had figured something out. Mo Ce quietly asked, "Little brother, did you just see something?"

Shang Lin was taken aback, then replied, "No."

Can he say that he was just curious and didn't do anything serious?

However, the planning and development of a small community always involves consulting feng shui beforehand. With such a large project, who wouldn't want it to go smoothly? How could there be any carelessness?

Sister Han's home is in a regular high-rise building with 32 floors. She lives on the 20th floor, with two apartments per floor. However, the elevator stopped briefly on the 18th floor. The elevator doors opened, but no one was outside. No one moved. After the elevator doors closed, it continued going upstairs.

Since there was more than one elevator in the building, with another one next to it, everyone was used to this situation and naturally no one reacted. However, Shang Lin, an outsider, subconsciously looked outside the elevator and then quickly looked away.

Originally, this was a very ordinary action, and the brother-in-law didn't pay any attention to it. However, Mo Ce and Han Ze, who were always on edge, took it to heart. But since the brother-in-law was still there, they all silently watched the elevator continue to go up.

They arrived at the twentieth floor quickly. The brother-in-law opened the door and invited them in. Although they said they were there to pick up something, they couldn't just come up and leave. They should at least have a glass of water and warm up before leaving, right?

Han Ze had been waiting for this opportunity, so the three of them went inside to get some water. His brother-in-law even said, "Xiao Ze, you entertain your friends, I'll go pack my things."

Han Ze was very cooperative, "Okay, brother-in-law, take your time packing. If you don't know anything, just send a video to my sister."

"knew."

As soon as his brother-in-law left, Han Ze hurriedly looked at Shang Lin, his eyes clearly asking, "How was it? How was it?"

Shang Lin shook her head slightly, but thinking that the other person might not understand, she took out her phone and typed, "It's okay, everything's fine at home."

Sister Han's house isn't big; it's a standard two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, about 80 square meters. Although her brother-in-law was tidying up in the bedroom, the door wasn't closed, so it was easy to see everything.

Han Ze's eyes showed even more doubt. Shang Lin continued typing: "It's possible that my sister and the child encountered something on their way back from the hospital without noticing. I'll go down and check on them in a bit."

Han Ze only realized what was happening at this moment and hurriedly took out his phone. "Little brother, let's add each other's contact information."

"OK."

Mo Ce had just come over and looked at Shang Lin's phone. After seeing that they had added each other as friends, he said directly, "Let's create a group chat."

Shang Lin thought these two were really impatient. How long could her brother-in-law pack his things? Couldn't they wait? But before they knew it, the three of them had created a group chat.

Mo Ce's first message: My brother is saying there's a problem on the 18th floor?

Shang Lin glanced at Mo Ce subconsciously, then sent a message: Why would you think that?

Unpredictable: Just now, when we were on the eighteenth floor, you were the only one looking out of the elevator.

Han Ze: Yes, yes.

Shang Lin: I was just taking a look and didn't see anything wrong, but I can go check it out later.

Shang Lin wasn't lying. After all, it was just a quick glance, and he didn't see anything. He only slightly felt that the temperature on the 18th floor was a bit low.

But this doesn't necessarily mean anything, because it could be a heating problem. After all, it's winter, and the indoor temperature depends on the heating system. Oh, and in rare cases, it could be a pipe problem.

After reading Shang Lin's message, Mo Ce and Han Ze put away their phones and the three of them drank water as if nothing had happened. During this time, Shang Lin even stood at the window and looked outside.

My brother-in-law quickly packed his things into a large backpack and handed it to Han Ze, saying, "Thank you for your help."

Han Ze took the backpack and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you're too kind. We'll be going now."

"What's the rush? You haven't even finished your water yet."

As Han Ze put on his shoes, he said, "The three of us are going out to play again. We'll come back another time."

Shang Lin and Mo Ce had already put on their shoes and left. The brother-in-law could only see them off. Watching the three of them leave together, he smiled helplessly, "Young and single men are just too playful."

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The two older ones are usually in the team, and the younger one is usually on campus. It's rare for them to come out, so they all want to be like they've returned to the human world and have a blast.

The three of them, having a great time, entered the elevator and immediately chose the eighteenth floor. Shang Lin looked at the two grown men beside him with amusement, "Aren't you two a little too curious? Shouldn't you keep your distance from this kind of thing?"

Han Ze immediately said righteously, "This concerns my nephew, how can I stand idly by?"

Mo Ce replied, "I'm the one who brought you out here, so of course I have to stay with you at all times. What if something happens to you? How can I explain it to your family?"

Shang Lin, "..."

What you all said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it!
