Chapter 100.2

100 Part 2

With his head lowered, Su Yu pulled Song Yiming into the room after him, stroking his lovers palm with his fingers to comfort him and ask him to play along. Song Yiming stroked back like he was flirting, the ticklish feeling almost enough to make Su Yus expression change.

With eight people cl.u.s.tered in such a small living room, it seemed like even the lighting was dimmed. As the head of the family, Jiang Kai asked the questions first. Shuo, why are you with group leader Zhang? Werent you at home beforehand?

Pressing his lips together, Su Yu said, Lets not talk about that for now. You dont have to ask after me, lets talk business.

Yes, Ive already told you the requirements for joining S City. As long as you can reach those standards, you can enter the base and earn protection. Finally waking up from the odd turn of events, Zhang Te finally spoke up again.

Earlier before Su Yu arrived and created a flurry of movement, Jiang Kai and the rest of the family were prepared to respond positively to the demands. But now his thoughts had clearly changed due to Su Yus arrival. Shuo, did you already join S City?

After a pause, Su Yu responded with an affirmative sound.

I heard from your mother that you didnt awaken a special ability. Did you accomplish all the requirements for entering the base? he asked again.

These words sounded concerned, but there was a deeper meaning behind them.

Hearing this, Su Yu didnt say anything more, just glancing at Zhang Te subtly. In that moment, Zhang Te recalled that Su Yu had asked him for help creating a certain type of atmosphere. So thats what he meant. But does that mean he already knew all this was going to happen?

Thinking about it a little more carefully, Zhang Te had gooseb.u.mps from how eerie the whole affair felt. Thankfully he still responded quickly, Mr. Jiang is our bases lead doctor who healed our leaders legs. His situation is different from most on our base.

Lead doctor? Staring at Su Yu, Jiang Tian snorted with laughter. Mr. Zhang, are you joking with us? Jiang Shuos always been a coward with no specialty. How did I never know he knew medicine?

Tian, how could you talk to your brother like that? Jiang Kai glared at his daughter, who clearly had no conception of time or place. Apologize to your brother!

Jiang Tian wasnt afraid of her mother, but she was more afraid of her father who was more strict and with whom shed spent less time with. Although she didnt apologize or anything, it was enough to shut her up.

Shuo, your sister is young, dont take it to heart. Although Jiang Kai didnt believe it either, he saw the level of respect Zhang Te had for Jiang Shuo. It was enough for him to understand how well his son was doing in S City.

He glanced at his wife meaningfully. When she picked up on his intent, she forced a concerned and sad face. Shuo, Im so happy to see you again. Were just happy to know that youre safe.

According to what they thought, Jiang Shuo either would take them directly to S City after they said that or at least respond with similar emotions. But when he heard what they said, he was only silent and lowered his head even further.

Jiang Tian, with her spirited personality, was the first to erupt. What kind of att.i.tude is that? Mom is talking to you! How can you ignore her? You think just because youre a part of S City you can ignore your parents?

Tian, dont talk to your brother like that. He didnt do it on purpose. Even while scolding Jiang Tian, Zhao Guiqin was still playing the part of a victim who had been hurt by Su Yus silence.

How can you say that he didnt do it on purpose? Do you see what hes doing? Now hes clearly climbed to a good spot on the social ladder and he wants to abandon us! Without Jiang Kai stopping her, Jiang Tian was far more relentless. You heard it too. Hes the lead doctor! If he really wanted to, wed be there already. But he didnt mention it at all. He just wants to leave us behind, what a faithless traitor!

With a concerned and nervous expression, Zhao Guiqin said, No, Shuo isnt someone like that. He would never leave us behind.

I think thats exactly what hes thinking. If not he can open his mouth and prove me wrong! Jiang Tian said proudly.

Opening her mouth, Zhao Guiqin realized she didnt know what to say any longer, so she could only gaze at Su Yu expectantly. Seeing the timing was right, Jiang Kai spoke up too. All of you stop talking, lets hear what he has to say.

In the moment, everyone looked at Su Yu. He finally raised his head, saying without expression. What I have to say? I have nothing to say. I just think all of you look quite funny. Like three clowns jumping around.

You! The whole family was about to burst into anger. Pulling out his pen, Su Yu played a certain audio that silenced them all.

His weak voice was the first to ring out.

I havent eaten in days, so Im a little slower. Please dont blame me, mom.

Shuo, its messy outside and unsafe for us to stay here. So Tian and I are preparing to go to B City to look for your father. What do you think?

Tian, should we leave some food for your brother?

Hes useless now, its nothing but a waste if we leave it.
