Chapter 169: Misunderstood Parents

Ah!!

Then, Lin Huan started to go a little crazy.

He let out a sudden scream, then grabbed Su Sheng's shoulder and began to sway him back and forth.

Ah, Sheng! You kept it hidden from me, sister, I'm so distressed!

No wonder you're so great; I was curious, and it turns out my little brother is the thickest thigh!

Do you know how hard it was when I first entered the Heroes five years ago!

You heartless one!

What are you hiding from me!

Lin Huan kept tormenting Su Sheng while babbling.

Those guys in the gaming circle aren't saints; especially since Lin Huan had already been in the Heroes for five years when he joined, the gaming circle's "cake" had basically been divided up, and the leftovers could only pick up some scraps.

Yet Lin Huan, in that environment, still brought Huakai's girl and forged a path; it truly wasn't easy.

Although the room's soundproofing was good, a woman's scream still has considerable penetration.

In the living room, Su Ba and Su's mother both heard Lin Huan's scream.

Su Ba and Su's mother couldn't help but glance at each other; they were both veterans, a lone man and a widowed woman sharing a room, and then the woman let out a scream.

No wonder the old couple overthought it.

Ahem, should I change the way I address the old man? Huang Hui said, a bit conflicted, but the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't be hidden.

What would I change it to? Calling you Huan Huan is fine. Su Wenhao also smiled.

That's right. Huang Hui nodded.

Fine, I'll go whip up two more hearty dishes for the two kids, after all it's early morning. After saying that, Su's mother Huang Hui turned and entered the kitchen.

Su Wenhao hummed a little tune and kept browsing the gaming forum.

Seeing Huan Jie looking a bit frantic, Su Sheng knew that over the years she had indeed been worn out.

Then Su Sheng felt a slight warmth in his chest and reached out to pull Huan Jie into his arms.

Lin Huan's movement stiffened, and he froze.

"Huan Jie, you've worked hard," Su Sheng said softly, feeling the softness in his embrace.

Lin Huan made no sound, nor any movement.

Su Sheng was also at a loss; letting go wasn't right, nor was holding.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

But gradually, the atmosphere seemed to sour a bit.

Breathing in the faint fragrance from Huan Jie's body, Su Sheng's heart fluttered slightly.

Fortunately, Su Sheng's iron will kept him rational; he finally let go, pulling a little distance, then lightly cleared his throat, expression unchanged: "Huan Jie, these years the family really owes a lot to you."

(PS: Sometimes an overly strong will doesn't seem good /doge)

Lin Huan's expression remained unchanged, showing no awkwardness, but his voice was unusually gentle: "Ah, Sheng, tell me about the Assassin Alliance."

Only Su Sheng couldn't see Lin Huan's ears hidden under his hair, glowing red.

Ahem... Assassin Alliance, Su Sheng considered briefly, then began to speak.

Ten years ago when the Heroes server launched, I and my close friend Chen Guan rented a house off campus, entered the game, and a few passionate youths gathered, forming the framework of the Assassin Alliance, which gradually grew into the massive organization it is today.

Of course, Su Sheng didn't know why, but subconsciously tried to hide Du Xue's matter, only saying that Du Xue ultimately had a marriage contract in reality with Chairman Wei Cheng of Qiancheng Muxue.

In the end, Du Xue betrayed the Assassin Alliance for Wei Cheng, causing heavy losses to the Alliance, which forged a deadly feud between the Assassin Alliance and Qiancheng Muxue.

Eventually I became a bit troubled and chose to enlist.

"Cuckoo dances, scholar meets death."

That's referring to the betrayer Du Xue, right? I recall the Deputy President of Qiancheng Muxue's in‑game nickname is Cuckoo. Lin Huan, however, is a top 985 student, not dumb, so he naturally guessed some things.

Ahem, yeah, Su Sheng said, his expression unchanged as he touched his nose.

"How did that line spread? Doesn't the Assassin Alliance's Ten Court Yanluo still have girls? Why does it only link that traitor with a catchphrase?" Lin Huan said with a half‑smile.

Huakai's girl had long become familiar with two of the Ten Court Yanluo's girls, but initially Lin Huan never considered the Assassin Alliance to belong to Su Sheng, so the topic never came up.

Moreover, generally Lin Huan doesn't like discussing Su Sheng with others.

After all...

Ahem...

Ahem, how would I know? These were all spread by outsiders, Su Sheng said, his expression still unchanged.

Alright, let's go out for breakfast; you're almost late for work.

Lin Huan stood up; although he only made a simple statement, it still took quite a while.

Whew~ Su Sheng's heart relaxed a little.

But seeing Huan Jie get up to leave, Su Sheng remembered something and reached out, grabbing Lin Huan's hand: "Huan Jie, wait..."

Feeling Su Sheng's hot palm, Lin Huan's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, yet his expression remained unchanged: "What's wrong?"

So soft~

Su Sheng couldn't help but squeeze, then recovered, his face flushing slightly, and quickly let go.

"Um, I want to discuss the Yin Yang Robe with you."

"The only Fangshi Player you can trust is Dad."

"But I'm worried..."

The hot big hand let go; Lin Huan felt a bit wistful, but then sat down again: "I understand, after all Dad's age is what it is; you're worried that a strong Hidden Class can't showcase its advantage in Dad's hands..."

"That's about right," Su Sheng nodded.

As for others, there are currently no Fangshi Players you can trust.

The Fangshi profession is a special profession unique to the Domestic Server of Zhu Lu; before, the Heroes didn't have it, so there aren't many Fangshi players.

After all, the main body of Zhu Lu's game players still came from the Heroes.

Those who have experience from the Heroes game each have a specialty they're good at; they rarely say they'll play another profession, but there are some—just not many.

So most Fangshi players are actually like Su Ba, players who are entering the game for the first time.

These new game players may have talent, but they ultimately still need to grow; furthermore, as the Fangshi profession has just appeared, all kinds of techniques must be developed and figured out by themselves, so there really aren't any impressive Fangshi in the main server yet.

Afterwards, the brother and sister discussed it in the room.

In the end, they both decided to let Father use it.

However, we can no longer let Father just wander around with Mother sightseeing; after he completes his class change, we'll have Father bring Mother to follow Huakai to level up, while also learning some game skills.

Anyway, Father has always wanted to help; as long as he has that intention, now is a great opportunity.

Afterwards, the brother and sister walked out of the room side by side; by this time, Mother should have already prepared breakfast.
