2 years ago...
In the Qin mansion...
ZiXuan had just greeted his grandparents after coming back from work when his grandfather asked him to follow him into his study.
After they were seated, Uncle Xiao, their head butler, brought some herbal tea for them.
ZiXuan raised an eyebrow and directly asked him, "Grandfather, no need for all this. You can tell me anything... I can handle it...", this small gesture of herbal tea has always been a part of a long and serious talk in the family and ZiXuan could guess that his grandfather was actually not up for it and so, he asked him to just tell him up front.
He saw him sigh before saying, "I would like you to join the special forces for the first half of the year. Don't worry it's nothing serious, just that, it has been a part of the family's rules to follow it. You may not know it, but she did it back when she was 7 years old..."
"Linlin?", he asked.
