“What suffering?” A deep, mellow voice with a hint of laughter spoke behind them.
Liang Han and Xi Cheng turned around and exclaimed, “Shi Ke! It’s you!”
Shi Ke and Shi Nian walked up to them. Shi Ke and Shi Nian weren’t much different in height and build, and the two brothers looked very similar, though Shi Nian’s elder brother, Shi Ke, had an imposing and dignified steadiness. With Shi Ke beside him, Shi Nian’s usual sternness seems much gentler.
Shi Ke hugged Xi Cheng and Liang Han, patted their backs, and said with a smile, “It’s been ages since I’ve seen you, brats!”
Liang Han chuckled, “Shi Ke, we’re not brats anymore! We’re nearly in our thirties! That’s old!”
Shi Ke laughed and punched him on the shoulder. “Don’t mention the word ‘old’ before me.”
Liang Han giggled. Xi Cheng had a rare happy smile as he asked, “Shi Ke, you came back to accompany Xiang Yang, didn’t you?”
Shi Ke smiled and nodded. Shi Nian glanced at his older brother and commented, “He’s already getting on in years, and yet he’s still so immature. He’s here to surprise Xiang Yang. She still doesn’t know that he’s back!” Shi Ke’s smile remained unchanged, completely unconcerned about his little brother’s snitching.
Liang Han sighed. “I’m so envious. I believe in love again!”
Shi Nian scoffed, “You always say that, but I’ve never seen you get in a relationship.”
Xi Cheng glared at him. “Why are you so acerbic? Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?” Liang Han found it extremely funny and laughed.
Shi Ke wasn’t annoyed by Shi Nian’s attitude at all. He smiled and said, “You guys Imow him better than I do. Just now, when I saw him looking like this, I tried to figure out if I owed him money! I found out later that Xiang Yang had taken Yun Nan with her, and he was ignored. He’s unhappy he was left alone.”
Xi Cheng and Liang Han shook their heads and said in unison, “Serves you right! It’s retribution!”
Shi Ke cracked up laughing and then looked around. “Huh? Where’s Ye Kun? Is he not here with you guys?
Liang Han took out his phone and showed it to the Shi brothers. “See for yourselves. He doesn’t want us to bother him. I don’t know what he’s up to.” Shi Guang chuckled, “Maybe he’s on a date?”
“Tsk! What girl would be so foolish as to fall for him?” Liang Han was unconvinced. Shi Ke was accustomed to the four boys’ love-hate relationship and just smiled as he watched them fooling around.
