(The scene changed)
When Zack returned home, there was no one in the living room. He was used to this phenomenon, but now that there was no one, it was time for him to go out at night to search for the ghosts of the underworld and annihilate them. Just as he was about to return to his room to change, a black figure appeared at the corner of the stairs."Xiao Cheng, come to my study.”
In his impression, his father rarely called him into the study. So why did he call him like this today?
Zack didn't think too much about it. He stopped in his tracks and followed his father into his study.
The study room's furnishings were quite simple. There were several large bookshelves filled with all kinds of books. There was a desk opposite the door. On the left side of the desk was a pen holder with a few pens, and on the right side was an open book lying quietly. The desk was very simple and clean. On both sides of the desk were pots of Evergreen, which added some ancient charm to the study room. From this, it could be seen that the owner of the study room was a person who paid attention to self-discipline and elegance.
Seeing Zack close the door, the Underworld King turned around and said with some blame,""How many times have I told you not to bring strangers home? You just won't listen! Are you ignoring my words?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Zack didn't understand." Lan Xue is a good person! Why are you so suspicious? He was just here to see Xiaoxu. Why was he so suspicious?”
"A good person?" The Underworld King was a little angry." What do you know! How do you know if he's a good person or not? Do you have to write 'I'm a bad person' on her forehead before you think that person is a bad person? We don't even know what background that Blue Snow has. What if he's a ghost from the Underworld? What if it's something bad?"
"Don't you dare say that about Lan Xue!" Zack couldn't help but feel a little angry." I've already told you that Lan Xue isn't a bad person. She's the benefactor who saved Xiao Xu!”
"What kind of attitude is that!" Seeing his son talk back like this, the Ghost King became even angrier." What do you mean by saying bad things about him? Do you understand her? Do you know what she went through? You don't know anything about her and you dare to bring her home? What if he was from the Netherworld? What if she colluded with the people of the Netherworld? Do you even care about the safety of this family? Did he really care about the safety of the Night Walkers? Have you considered the serious consequences of this matter?”
"Alright, don't be so high-profile.”Zack interrupted King You." She's always so paranoid. Didn't I tell you that she's a good person?!"”
"You…"
……
The two of them were very loud. Even Mo 'er, who was standing outside, could feel that there was an argument inside. She was afraid now. Even if her father and brother quarreled, she was a little afraid. Every time this happened, the first person she thought of was her brother. As long as her brother came, he would have a way to persuade her brother and father.
Mo 'er did not hesitate and turned to run away.
(Helian Xu's room)
A light green background wall and a dark brown background color. A well-decorated double bed was placed on the left side of the door. There was a large desk in front of the balcony facing it. A large map was hung on the left side of the desk. On the map, the situation of the enemy and the enemy was marked with blue and red pens respectively. It could be seen that the red side was completely trapped in a space by the blue side. Helian Xu stood in front of the map, holding a baton in his right hand and a blue chess piece in his left and right hands. Occasionally, he would use his right hand to draw a map, and then place the blue chess pieces on the sand table in front of the map. However, after a moment, he would frown and shake his head, removing the blue chess pieces and rearranging the layout.
Just as he was frowning, the door to his room was pushed open.
There weren't many people who didn't knock when they entered his room. Even if it was his elder brother, he would knock. The only person who didn't knock on his room was his most beloved little sister, Mo 'er.
Helian Xu calmed himself down and looked at the door. Sure enough, Mo 'er, a little girl in a white dress and pigtails, ran over in fear."Big brother, big brother, it's not good. Big brother and father are quarreling again.”
"Quarreling again?" Helian Xu squatted down and picked up his sister." Why did you quarrel?”
Mo 'er did not dare to say anything more and just shook her head.
"Mo 'er, be good. Don't be afraid." Helian Xu comforted him." Brother, I'll go over and take a look now." Take it with me in my room and don't run around, understand?”
Mo 'er nodded obediently and didn't say anything else. Helian Xu gently put his sister down, stood up, and walked out quickly.
(Study)
Helian Xu knocked on the door of the study. He could clearly feel that both his father and elder brother did not look too good. The smell of gunpowder in the room was still very strong.
"Dad, brother?" Helian Xu said.
Beside him, Zack was leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets. His face was ugly, and there was a hint of anger and unwillingness in his eyes. His eyes were filled with a rebellious aura as he stared at the upper right corner. His father, on the other hand, was leaning on the desk with his right hand. His head was lowered with a gloomy expression, and his back was facing Zack. His eyes were looking down to the left.
Helian Xu spoke, but no one responded.
"What exactly happened?" Helian Xu continued to ask. He walked to the King of Hades 'side first." Dad, don't be angry. You know how anxious I am when I speak.……Brother!"
Shuu only said one word to Zack before shaking his head to signal him not to go against his father.
Seeing that it was his younger brother, Helian Xu, who came over, his expression improved a little. However, he still did not plan to say anything to his father.
Helian Xu was a little speechless when he saw his stubborn brother. He knew his brother's personality too well. He was stubborn and refused to admit defeat. His father was also too stubborn. It would be strange if they didn't quarrel.
"Dad, can I have a word with Big Brother?" Helian Xu asked tentatively.
King You turned around to look at his mature second son and finally sighed. Fortunately, he still had such a capable youngest son. Otherwise, after his death, the Helian family would really have a big problem!
He didn't say anything and just waved his hand lightly.
After receiving his father's approval, Helian Xu bid farewell to his father. He tugged at his brother's sleeve and the two of them walked out together.
(Outside)
"I see." Helian Xu finally understood the whole story." But even so, you shouldn't shout at our dad like this. Recently, many things in the family have already troubled our father enough. Let's not add to his troubles.”
" It was him…" Zack was still furious." How could he suspect Lan Xue?" She was a very good girl! Xiaoxu, do you think she's a bad person?”
"Brother, don't be agitated." Helian Xu said," Of course I know, but you should have told Dad about it. It's not like Dad won't listen."
"I don't think he's listening. Whoever he thinks is good is good, and whoever he thinks is bad is bad…It's simply unreasonable.”Zack said angrily," Only you can understand me.”
"Since you think I understand you, then listen to me.”Helian Xu said," Don't always argue with Dad. "He has too much responsibility on his shoulders. It's inevitable that he will have a lot of psychological pressure. When he has a lot of psychological pressure, his temper will be bad. As his children, we should be more tolerant of our father. Don't always make him angry. Regardless of whether you like what Dad says or not, Dad is doing this for our own good.”
"But today…"
"I know." Helian Xu interrupted his brother's words." Our dad isn't a god, so it's impossible for him to know the past and the future. Everyone made mistakes. If our dad did something wrong, we can correct him instead of quarreling with him. You're too hot-tempered. You have to restrain yourself!”
"Forget it." Zack said," I can't be bothered to do whatever I want, but there's one thing. Lan Xue…"
"Brother, do you like other girls?”Helian Xu suddenly said.
However, when he said this, Zack stuttered,""Who…who is spouting nonsense! Xiaoxu, no matter who tells you these things, don't believe them. Do you hear me?”
"Do you still need to say it? Your performance was too obvious.”Helian Xu looked up at his brother and said.
" This…You're just a child, what do you know…" Zack said, his voice gradually fading, and a blush appeared on his face. Perhaps, he could only show this side of himself in front of his younger brother.
"Hey, don't think that I don't know anything just because I'm young. You're even blushing." Helian Xu looked at his brother and teased," This idol drama has already said that if a boy blushes at the mention of a girl, that means he likes her…"
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll sew up your stinky mouth!”Zack said loudly to hide his guilt.
"Usually, the more you say this, the more it means that you really like someone. It's always like this on TV." Helian Xu said.
"What kind of TV series is blindly acting and leading my brother astray? I'll send all the directors and scriptwriters who shoot TV shows like this to the afterlife and see if they still dare to write nonsense.”Zack toot to himself, but the fact that he could speak like this meant that his brother was in a much better mood.
"Brother, I think you should apologize to our father if you have time.”Helian Xu said," Of course, it doesn't mean that you're wrong. After all, that's our father. Besides, would our father harm you? Isn't he doing this for your own good?"
"Forget it. This time, we'll do as you say.”Zack said," It looks like I can't do anything to you.”
Helian Xu didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled.
