CHAPTER 215: Lip Duel
“Hey…” Ji Mo didn’t catch the underlying meaning this time; his face turned a bit red as he said, “Mainly, I want to celebrate my birthday with my mother. I heard that my mother fell seriously ill while giving birth to me back then…”
The four of them fell silent. When it came to elders, especially the sacred word ‘mother,’ no one dared to joke around.
Parents are the most respected people in this world. Those who are unfilial to their parents are equally condemned by society!
Filial piety is the foremost virtue!
This is the bottom line of morality in the Nine Heavens Continent!
“Haha, boss, when is your birthday?” Rui Butong laughed, “We should have a good time then.”
Rui Butong’s words struck at the deepest pain in Chu Yang’s heart!
“I… I don’t know what my birthday is.” Chu Yang's voice was calm, but behind that calmness, a fierce storm seemed to brew. His eyelids twitched uncontrollably twice, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, “I was picked up by my master…”
He paused for a moment, tilted his face up to welcome the cold snowflakes from the sky, and silently continued, “I don’t even know who my father is, who my mother is… what surname they had, or what their names were…”
“I’ve never celebrated my birthday.” Chu Yang smiled faintly, coughed lightly a couple of times, and softly said, “I don’t even know what it feels like to celebrate a birthday… let alone what it feels like to celebrate a birthday with my mother… Haha…”
His expression was very calm, and his voice was composed; there were no fluctuations; he even smiled. But, in that calm voice, Gu Duxing, Ji Mo, and the others felt clearly that Chu Yang's heart was bleeding!
It seemed as if his heart was cracking little by little…
“Boss! You still have us!” Rocky Luo felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and for some reason, he had an impulse to shed tears. Rui Butong and Ji Mo, Gu Duxing also looked at Chu Yang with burning eyes, echoing, “That’s right! You still have us!”
They had not expected Chu Yang’s background to be so tragic, and at that moment, their mood suddenly grew heavy.
“Indeed, I still have you guys.” Chu Yang smiled and said, “So whether I celebrate my birthday or not… it’s just one day.”
“No! Between the six of us brothers, aside from you, our birthday is your birthday!” Gu Duxing exclaimed excitedly, “So at least you can celebrate five birthdays a year! Five brothers accompanying you!”
“No! Six!” Chu Yang smiled warmly, “There’s another one, my junior brother; his name is quite peculiar, it’s Tan Tan.”
“Tan Tan?” The four of them were taken aback, unable to comprehend that someone would have such a name.
“The flower of the night.” Chu Yang laughed, “You guys have no idea, that kid is really amusing…” He chuckled while introducing Tan Tan to them, saying, “If you meet him, you’ll definitely like him.”
“Especially his personality… super narcissistic to the point it’s scary, haha…” Chu Yang recalled Tan Tan’s appearance and couldn’t help but smile…
“Is that so? Then we really need to see what kind of guy is so full of himself; it’s quite rare…” Gu Duxing and the others immediately became interested…
…
On the Nine Heavens Continent, it snowed for the past three days; Iron Cloud was holding a funeral, while Chu Yang chatted with his brothers. Cheng Yunhe was still trudging through the snow, and Diwu Qingrou continued to strategize in the Xiang Residence, also waiting…
The border war had temporarily ceased.
The middle three days were just a bit cold without snow.
Mo Tianji had brought Mo Qingwu back to the family, and it had already been seven days.
In these seven days, the Mo Family had almost transformed completely.
Mo Tianji sat cross-legged in his own elegant room, with a small exquisite tea table in front of him, steam rising, and the fragrance of tea filling the room. It looked quite artistic; however, on Mo Tianji's handsome face, there was a faint hint of anger and worry.
