The family of three arrived at the compound just in time for lunch.
When Aunt Fang saw the three of them, she called out, "Little Qi and Lingling are here! Little Xingxing, come quick! There are some fried fish that you like."
Little Star patted her belly regretfully: "Aunt Fang, I'm full. I'll have to save the fried fish for next time."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Fang noticed what Sangshen was carrying: "Xiaoqi, what's this?"
Sangshen raised her hand: "We just came back from eating roast duck, this is a pack for you."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Sang scolded, "You can eat as you please, why did you bring us anything?"
Little Star sidled up to them and said, "Great-Grandpa, it was an uncle who invited us."
"uncle?"
“Chen Xinghua.” Sangshen said as she took out the packaged roast ducks and placed them on the table one by one.
He greeted him, "Big brother, bookworm."
Before Shen Ci could respond, Sang Zi spoke up: "Xiao Qi, speak properly. You're so old, and you're still giving people nicknames. Isn't that childish?"
Sangshen was stunned by what he was told, and he looked at his older brother in disbelief.
Shen Ci smiled shyly: "It's alright, Xiao Qi didn't mean any harm."
Sang Zi glanced at her younger brother and gave a soft "hmm".
Mulberry: ...
What happened?
Has his brother become a bookworm?
Seeing his dazed look, Bu Ling coughed lightly: "Brother Sang Zi, Comrade Shen Ci."
"Sister-in-law."
"Comrade Buling."
After exchanging greetings, Buling looked at her daughter: "Little Star, did you greet everyone?"
"Fourth Uncle, Godfather Shen Ci," the daughter greeted him as instructed.
Sang Zi and Shen Ci were instantly drawn to the little cutie and had no time to pay attention to Sang Shen and her husband.
Buling quickly grabbed a handful of mulberries: "What are you thinking about?"
Mulberry snapped out of her reverie and shook her head: "It's nothing, sit down and rest for a while."
He pulled Bu Ling to sit on the sofa. "Shu, Shen Ci, let me tell you, I ran into Chen Xinghua on a blind date today."
Shen Ci pushed up his glasses: "So that's why he treated you to Peking duck?" A pointed observation.
Mulberry: ...
Sometimes being too familiar isn't a good thing.
He decided to steer clear of the topic. "You wouldn't believe it, that idiot Chen Xinghua actually talked about his work to that girl, and she turned green with rage..."
Finally, he couldn't resist commenting: "No wonder he's still single at such an old age."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sang Zi glanced over and said, "Xiao Qi."
Sangshen shivered for no reason. His brother's tone was clearly calm, but why did he feel a chill?
The next second, he knew why.
Grandpa Sang was listening with a smile to his grandson's vivid description when he suddenly heard the last sentence...
The smile vanished suddenly!
"Little Four, you're even older than that grandson of the Chen family," Old Master Sang said ruthlessly. "What are your plans?"
Sang Zi glanced at Sang Shen again through the lens behind her glasses: "Grandpa, there are still children here. Let's discuss this after we finish eating."
Reminded by this, Grandpa Sang remembered his great-granddaughter sitting obediently beside him. He suppressed the curses that were about to come out of his mouth, glared at him, and said, "I'll deal with you after dinner!"
Sang Zi smiled elegantly, glanced at Chen Ci casually, and then lowered his head to continue eating.
Shen Ci seemed oblivious, focusing intently on her meal.
Mulberries on the sofa: ...
The scope of the crackdown is too broad, and it has inadvertently implicated some of our own people.
He smiled ingratiatingly at his brother, thinking that his brother probably wouldn't do anything to him.
He's my own brother, after all.
Bu Ling secretly rolled her eyes at him. This guy has no bottom line when it comes to courting death!
"Speak less," she couldn't help but remind him, "especially avoid provoking Shen Ci."
Otherwise, no one could save him.
Sangshen asked, puzzled, "Why Shen Ci?"
"You'll find out later," Bling whispered in his ear.
Hopefully, he won't be too surprised when he finds out!
After the meal, the old man immediately said, "Xiao Fang, take Xiao Xing to bed. Xiao Si, come to the study with me."
"Okay," Fang Sao and Sang Zi replied in unison.
Sangshen wasn't called out by name. After everyone left, she darted to Chen Ci's side, put her arm around his neck, and asked in a carefree manner, "Bookworm, how are you doing? Is university fun?"
Shen Ci was already used to Sang Shen's behavior. He pushed up his glasses and said, "University is a place for studying, not for playing around."
"Hey, are you just being argumentative?" Mulberry, emboldened by her dog-like nature, slapped his head.
Bling: ...
Forget it, it's beyond saving!
"I asked how the university is?" Sangshen asked again.
“Excellent.” Shen Ci said decisively, “It’s the place I’ve always dreamed of.”
Sangshen was close enough to see the fire in his eyes and knew that this bookworm genuinely loved his current life.
The bookworm of the past, no matter what state he fell into, remained devoted to his books.
But at that time, although he was stubborn, there was no light in his eyes. When he held the book, it seemed that the book had become his only salvation.
Now it's different. He no longer carries his books around all the time, and there's a light in his eyes.
They grew up together, and the bookworm was always the quietest one. Now that he has found his direction in life, Sang Shen is naturally happy for him.
“Bookworm, congratulations,” Sangshen said.
Before Shen Ci could speak, Sang Zi returned without anyone noticing, and said in a sinister tone, "Little Seven~"
Sangshen shuddered, hooked her arm around Chen Ci's neck, and turned around: "Brother."
Shen Ci smiled too, "Brother Sang Zi." If Sang Shen could have glanced at him at that moment, she would have noticed that the light in Shen Ci's eyes was even brighter.
