Chapter 1275: Chapter 1201:
"That’s good."
Captain Kang nodded, his eyes full of relief.
...
The moonlight outside the window was as cool as water. Ming Han lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He couldn’t help but softly call to his brother Min Rui, "Brother, can you come down and sleep?"
Min Rui asked, "What for?"
"I want to talk to you." Ming Han sat up and was ready to climb up the top bunk. At this moment, Min Rui lifted his cotton blanket, "Alright, lie down, I’ll come down and sleep with you."
Upon hearing this, Ming Han grinned, silently lay back down.
"Speak."
Min Rui gently came down to the lower bunk and lay down beside Ming Han, "I don’t want to hear nonsense."
"Brother, you’re really something. I haven’t even opened my mouth, and you assume I’m going to speak nonsense."
Ming Han turned towards his brother Min Rui, lay on his side, blinked his eyes, and softly said, "Grandma and Grandpa are going abroad to see Mom tomorrow. Will Dad go over later?"
"Get to the point."
Min Rui’s tone wasn’t great.
"Don’t you want to go see Mom?" Ming Han asked his brother Min Rui, but hadn’t heard a response for a while. He couldn’t help but speak on his own, "I want to go, I miss Mom very much, it’s been more than half a year since we’ve seen her. I wish I could fly to Mom right now."
Min Rui: "Don’t you want to go to school?"
"I can take leave!" Ming Han’s voice had a bit of nasal sound. He said, "Someone in our class started rumors saying Mom ran away with someone. I was really angry when I heard it. I said Mom went abroad to study, but some classmates didn’t believe me. I really wanted to beat them up at that time."
"Are you stupid?"
Min Rui’s eyes were full of disdain, but in the dim room light, Ming Han couldn’t see him. He said, "Many people in our compound know Mom went abroad to study. Besides, Mom calls us every fortnight, and we receive letters every month, with photos inside. Don’t you know all this?"
"I know."
Ming Han replied muffledly.
Min Rui: "If you know, why care about those idle talks?"
"But they speak ill of Mom, I feel uncomfortable hearing it." Ming Han sniffed, saying, "Actually, I’m also quite worried Mom will get close to someone else and not want me, you, and our sister, or Dad anymore..."
"Lucky you think of that." Min Rui pinched his brother Ming Han’s ear, "Use your brain, don’t you know how Mom feels about us?"
Ming Han rubbed his pain-stricken ear, saying with grievance, "I know, but Mom is young and beautiful, surely many men would like her. And Dad is not only several years older than Mom, but most importantly, he’s so busy that he doesn’t have time for Mom. Even if he finally has a holiday at home, it’s rare to see him smile. Do you think Mom is happy with someone like Dad?"
"You worry too much!"
Min Rui glared at his brother Ming Han without kindness, "Listen up with your ears, Mom and Dad have a great relationship. If you keep talking nonsense, watch out; I might hit you!"
"Dad is just a big ice block. Plus, there are three burdens with Mom. I think he’s not good at all. Why did Mom marry Dad back then?"
"Who are you calling burdens?"
"Aren’t I, sister, and you burdens?" Ming Han snorted quietly, "Marrying Mom is Dad’s good fortune, but he doesn’t know to cherish her, just busy with work. If I were Mom, I would... I would ditch Dad and find someone better to marry."
"Save that talk for Dad."
Young and constantly thinking strange things - one moment worrying about Stepmother getting close to another man, the next standing up for Stepmother - he really didn’t want to deal with his dumb brother anymore.
"Brother, here’s what I’m thinking. When Dad goes abroad to see Mom, I’ll ask Dad for leave and go with him. If Mom happens to get close to someone else, I’ll help Dad win Mom back. What do you think?"
"Do you believe I’ll tell Mom and Dad about what you said, and what awaits you is a double team beat-up?"
"..."
Ming Han curled up under the covers, "Brother, you didn’t hear anything tonight, and I didn’t say anything either."
"Every exam ranking first in age, with such brains, I really wonder how you got first."
Min Rui’s tone was full of disdain, "If Mom thought Dad was not good enough and believed I, you, and Vivi were burdens, would she have married Dad?
Would she always be so good to us? Besides, Mom is now pregnant with our siblings, like us also Dad’s kids. Did you forget this?"
