Liang Zhi Chen wore an expression of someone who had seen through everything but chose not to say it out loud, "No matter what, she’s always our Baobao." Shujun was rendered speechless, "You’re right, but if that’s true, Baobao... to be so misunderstood by us, isn’t that too pitiful?" Even herself, had once hated her. Eldest Brother patted his shoulder, "Now we are just short of Shu Yu. Shu Yu hasn’t resolved his issues yet, but looking at him recently, it seems he’s almost there." Shujun cracked a smile, "He’s just someone who carries too many burdens." Then, he grabbed Eldest Brother’s hand, "When I asked you before how your hair turned white, you told me it was because of too much worry. Is it because of me? Is it because of me that you..." Shujun was clever, he remembered the year when Second Brother fell gravely ill, one foot already at Hell’s door, even nearly losing his life. Eldest Brother had some white hair at that time, and since then, frost-white strands appeared at the temples, and now the rest of the hair had turned white as well. After much thought, he knew the issue lay with himself. Liang Zhi Chen mumbled a few vague words, "The matter has passed and you don’t have to think too much about it. I’m telling you all this today because, unless something unexpected happens, I might have to take a long trip after the New Year." Liang Shujun frowned and clutched at Eldest Brother’s hand, using some force, "No!" "I feel a terrible sense of unease. It’s not that I want to criticize you, Eldest Brother, but ever since we were young, you’ve always been . Taking everything upon yourself, suffering more than anyone else. If you hadn’t told me all this, that’s one thing, but since you did, there’s no way I can let you leave alone!" Intuition told her that when Eldest Brother said he intended to leave after the new year, it was very likely connected to that dream. The dream was too mysterious. In Eldest Brother’s dream, she saw herself killed by Pei Yu... She felt disgusted at the thought of Pei Yu, but when Eldest Brother mentioned Sixth Brother Yixuan, she couldn’t help but feel anxious. Liang Zhi Chen hadn’t expected that his cleverness would backfire. He confessed to his Third Brother today precisely to leave a contingency. Because if he truly embarked on that long trip after the new year, he feared he wouldn’t return anytime soon, and there needed to be someone to take care of the family. Shujun had surprisingly guessed the dangers of this journey; was this a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own feet? As Liang Zhi Chen was reflecting on this, suddenly he heard Shujun shouting at the top of his lungs, "Baobao, Baobao, come here quickly! Eldest Brother doesn’t want us anymore!" Liang Zhi Chen: "..." Dong Huiying and others hadn’t gone far, so when they heard Shujun calling, they rushed in hastily. The first to enter was Liang Yuening, who had been eavesdropping at the door. Yuening blinked, because the voices of the Eldest and Third Brothers were too soft, he actually hadn’t heard much, only vaguely catching mentions of a dream, Baobao, Yixuan, and the like. Yet there was one person, displaying a shocked expression. This person was none other than Second Brother Liang Shuyu! Shu Yu clenched his fingertips, a chill in his heart. He looked stunned, his face full of shock. Yuening was listening at the door but couldn’t hear clearly. And he, standing far from the door, heard everything loud and clear. Yet, this abnormality was noticed by no one... Dong Huiying looked puzzledly at Liang Zhi Chen. Shujun got up, and through the blurs in his vision, he saw a figure cloaked in purple, so he groped his way over. "Baobao, Eldest Brother doesn’t want us anymore, he actually thinks about running away from home, I am the first to disagree with this! Moreover, Baobao, you are the head of the family, and Eldest Brother didn’t even consult with you about leaving, that can’t be right!"
