After class, Sheng Lao Er left in a hurry and almost bumped into Professor Wu from the Mathematics Department.
Professor Wu was tall and thin, wore glasses, and looked very refined.
He had a good relationship with Sheng Lao Er in private. Sheng Lao Er had asked him to help Xinghe take the school exam.
At the same time, it also allowed University A to obtain such a great treasure.
Professor Wu, beaming with pride, asked, "Professor Sheng, are you in such a hurry because something's up?"
Sheng Lao Er nodded slightly. "Teacher Wu, there is something I need to take care of."
"Then you go ahead and get busy. I also need to report this good news to the leaders. Your sister is really amazing. She got first place by a huge margin in the preliminary round. Hahahaha."
They've been suppressed by those foreigners for far too long.
They failed to even make it to the finals several times.
Every time these professors attend an international conference, they are met with sarcastic remarks, such as that they cannot cultivate good talents locally.
They say all the talented people in their Dragon Country have flowed abroad.
They'll even feign concern and say a few words.
They were all reluctant to attend these meetings, and each time they came back feeling very angry.
There's nothing you can do about it. It's true they haven't achieved anything, so even if they're ridiculed, they can only endure it.
Now Xinghe has given them a chance to gloat, and they are eager to see those people's true colors.
Xinghe really lived up to expectations.
Sheng Lao Er's voice carried a hint of urgency, "What preliminary round?"
"The global math competition, you don't know about it?"
Professor Wu was somewhat puzzled.
Everyone at school knows that Sheng Lao Er and Xing He are siblings. Although they've heard that their relationship is just so-so, it can't be that bad, right?
Sheng Lao Er heard the sound of his own heart hitting the ground with a loud thud.
My soul, which had been in a daze for many days, suddenly became clear.
His eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses brightened a bit. "I remember now, there were just too many things going on recently."
"I have to go now, I'll treat you to a meal next time."
Sheng Lao Er patted Professor Wu on the shoulder and quickened his pace.
Xinghe did not leave to avoid them.
That's good, that's good.
He wants to find the Milky Way.
As for who blocked the news, or even gave them some wrong information, it's unclear who it was that kept Xinghe's whereabouts for so long.
Sheng Lao Er didn't want to dwell on these matters now; he could settle them later. He needed to find Xinghe.
A thought crossed Sheng Lao Er's mind.
I thought for about a second whether or not to tell the other brothers about it.
The thought lingered in his mind for less than a second before he decisively dismissed it.
Those people are more trouble than they're worth, and Xinghe dislikes them even more for being with them.
It's better if he goes alone.
He wanted to find the Milky Way before them.
Sheng Lao Er knows the location of the competition, but it's too late to apply for a private jet route now.
He booked a flight for that evening to fly there.
The Sheng family.
The large villa was empty and deserted, with hardly any human presence.
All the flowers Xinghe planted were moved away, and the room was almost devoid of heat.
At dinner time, the brothers returned at the same time as before.
The once bustling Sheng family home is now eerily quiet.
Ye Ning took away all the elderly people who had lived in the Sheng family for many years.
Several new aunties were left behind, and fearing they would cause trouble, they basically didn't say a word.
There was nothing to say among the brothers; all they did was remain silent.
Sitting in the restaurant, the only sound you can hear is the slight clinking of cutlery on the table.
In a daze, they seemed to see the lively yet ordinary scenes from before, when their parents and sister still lived here.
Ye Ning and Xinghe had endless topics to talk about.
The golden boy and jade girl will also wear beautiful little clothes and circle around the Milky Way.
Sheng Xiuwen was not a man of many words, but he would respond to whatever the two of them said.
They would occasionally chime in with a few words.
What seemed like an ordinary scene in the past now appears full of warmth when recalled.
They were lucky enough; their lives were smooth sailing, and they never lacked money or love.
How did things get to this point?
The Sheng family still exists, yet it seems as if they have already scattered.
No, it's not that they broke up, it's just that they were removed and they reunited into a new family. The new family is still warm and happy, but they are no longer there.
After observing for a while, the eldest brother finally spoke calmly, "Is the second brother not coming back today?"
While looking at his phone, Sheng Laosi replied, "He said there's something going on at school, so he'll be staying in the school dormitory for the next couple of days and won't be coming back."
"Okay, let's eat."
Sheng Laowu was also looking at his phone. He seemed to have seen something interesting and sat up straight.
His bright red hair was dazzling in the living room.
"My second brother went abroad? Someone took a picture of him at the airport."
He licked his palate, his mind racing, and almost instantly thought of something.
He smiled, his eyes crinkling, "Our good brother has found his sister and wants to abandon us."
Now, the only thing left that could make Sheng Lao Er leave in such a hurry is this matter.
The second son of the Sheng family couldn't even come up with a better excuse.
"My sister? Where is my sister? How is she?"
Sheng Lao Si was the most excited and almost reached out to grab Sheng Lao Wu's phone.
The others also looked at Sheng Laowu, their eyes filled with a sense of anticipation.
Sheng Laowu moved his fingers. "Found it. The flight he was on landed in country A."
Sheng Laowu picked up his clothes, patted them off, and said, "I'm not eating anymore, I'm leaving too."
Sheng Lao Er had gotten a few steps ahead of him earlier, which made him the one with the best relationship with Xinghe among the brothers.
This time it won't happen.
As soon as Sheng Laowu left, Sheng Laosi immediately followed.
"Fifth brother, wait for me, I'm going too."
After such a long time, there's finally news about Xinghe. Whether it's true or not, he has to go and see for himself.
The eldest and third brothers of the Sheng family exchanged a glance, then silently got up and followed behind them.
It's been far too long since we've heard from Xinghe; this period of waiting has been agonizing.
People are really perverse. When Xinghe was around, it was alright, but once she left, all the guilt, heartache, and regret hidden deep in my heart came together.
They were almost completely submerged.
Unable to find the Milky Way, they were anxious and distressed. Now, having heard some news about the Milky Way, their souls, which had almost drowned, finally found an outlet.
They need to find the Milky Way, and everything else is based on this premise.
Regardless of whether Xinghe forgives them or not, they will have to pay the price for their mistakes.
Xinghe is their younger sister. If Xinghe is willing to acknowledge them as her older brother while they are still alive, they will be content.
