"Brother, you're still awake?"
"Mmm." Sangzi hummed in agreement, then asked, "Just got back?"
"Yeah, I got back this morning. I went to see the bookworm." Sangshen turned on the light and parked her bicycle.
Sang Zi narrowed her eyes uncomfortably.
"Is Xiao Ci alright? I'll go see him tomorrow."
Sangshen opened the refrigerator, saw that it was empty, and rubbed her stomach in frustration: "This is not good, he is still wearing only a single layer of clothing."
Seeing her younger brother like this, Sangzi's heavy mood eased a little: "There's still half a box of cookies left, have some to tide you over." Saying this, she took out half a box of cookies from the coffee table drawer.
Without any hesitation, Sangshen took the biscuits, popped one into his mouth, and said, "Brother, how long have these biscuits been sitting like this? They're all soggy." Despite saying they were soggy, Sangshen ate them without slowing down.
"I forgot, it's probably been more than three months. It was last time Xiaodong came to buy it," Sangzi said uncertainly.
"What? Bro, Xie Dong last came five months ago, is it expired?" Sang Shen was about to be screwed over by her brother.
"I don't think so. By the way, is there anything Xiao Ci needs? I'll bring it over tomorrow." Sang Zi quickly changed the subject.
“He lacks everything. Xie Dong brought him two cotton-padded coats and a cotton quilt today, but that’s all. Brother, can’t you think of a way? The bookworm isn’t in good health.”
Sangshen knew this would be difficult, but she still looked at her brother with anticipation.
Sang Zi's face darkened again, and he shook his head: "There are people watching in Kyoto. This matter is already a done deal, and there's nothing I can do about it." His tone was heavy.
"Is it that woman, Wang Yueru?" Sang Shen gritted her teeth. Wang Yueru was the bookworm's stepmother.
Sang Zi nodded. "Wang Yuelong got promoted, that's why she's so brazen." Wang Yuelong is Wang Yueru's brother.
Sangshen felt somewhat discouraged upon hearing this. Wang Yuelong was a ruthless character who had climbed his way up by betraying his superiors and was also Wang Yueru's biggest backer.
"Alright then, I'll go with you tomorrow," he could only say in the end.
"Tomorrow night, let's avoid people," Sang Zi said. His own position was also being watched by many.
Mulberry nodded, finished the last biscuit, drank some water, and went back to her room to sleep.
