After Sheng Shiwu finished his call with Second Brother Gu, he called his father. He learned that his dad was doing well and was even planning to come home for the New Year.
He returned to the Sheng Family home in a great mood. The first floor looked quite clean, since the housekeeper had tidied up.
Second Brother Gu was listlessly lounging on the sofa, watching TV. "Xiao Wu, what brings you back?"
"Winter break started. I just came to drop off my schoolbag. I'm going to look for work tomorrow," Sheng Shiwu said, trying to suppress a smile.
He pressed his lips together, trying to stop himself from smiling, because Second Brother Gu was clearly in a bad way.
His own smile was too bright, and he worried it would make Second Brother Gu resentful. But happiness was an emotion that was impossible to suppress.
He could only give in to his happy mood, so Sheng Shiwu didn't linger and went straight upstairs to his room.
