Chen Ke was surprised that Chen Zhuo's first question was this.
"Six hours, from the moment I disappeared from the alley to when I returned here... a total of six hours," Chen Ke said truthfully.
"Heh, six hours, your six hours, mine... twenty years?" Chen Zhuo stared at Chen Ke with increasingly deep eyes.
Looking at the whirlpool that resembled a bottomless deep sea, Chen Ke was momentarily unsure of what Chen Zhuo meant by those words.
"Second Brother!" With Zhou Shuya's shout, the doorknob turned and the door was pushed open from the outside.
Chen Ke and Chen Zhuo looked over at the same time, and Zhou Shuya, who had just entered the room, was also stunned for a moment when she saw the two of them.
The second brother, who always doted on him, was expressionless with cold eyes. His tall figure completely overshadowed the eldest brother, who was sitting on the bed. The eldest brother, who was sitting in the shadows, had a gentle and indifferent face that was too young for his age.
But she had taken off most of her pajamas...
"Second Brother... what are you doing?" Zhou Shuya, who had never seen Chen Zhuo like this before, was obviously frightened and stammered.
Chen Zhuo straightened up. "Why didn't you knock before coming in?"
"I... I never knocked when I came in to see you before." Because if there was anything private, Chen Zhuo would lock the door himself, which led to Zhou Shuya's habit of never knocking when entering Chen Zhuo's room.
"You're a grown woman now, remember to knock before entering the room next time."
Zhou Shuya: "·····Oh."
Chen Ke had already pulled up his pajamas after Zhou Shuya came in. Although they were Zhou Shuya's nominal brothers, they were not related by blood, so they still had to be careful about how they interacted.
Chen Zhuo glanced at Chen Ke, then softened his tone and asked Zhou Shuya, "What brings you in?"
Zhou Shuya: "Secretary Ding is here. It seems like she has something urgent to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo strode out without looking back.
Chen Ke, sitting on the bed, felt a jolt of excitement upon hearing the surname Ding. Could this Secretary Ding be... the future husband of Ding Qiangguo's father, Zhou Shuya?
After Chen Zhuo left, Zhou Shuya ran to the bedside and sat down, feeling wronged, to complain to Chen Ke: "Second brother was so fierce just now. He has never been so fierce to me before."
Chen Ke affectionately patted Zhou Shuya's head, "Then later, your older brother will say he'll help you get revenge."
But Zhou Shuya blinked her big, watery eyes and said, "But big brother... when you stand next to second brother, you look more like the younger brother. Does second brother still listen to you?"
A bloody knife pierced Chen Ke's heart.
