Xin Xiaoli who had gone upstairs to his room to take his call took a long breath before attending the call, "Hi, dad! How are you? How's your trip going with Uncle Yi?" He was trying to act normal at best as he could.
There was silence on the other end for a minute before he heard a deep voice, "I'm pretty good, son. Although our trip is not that fruitful, we're still having a good time. What about you? Since your brother has finally found his way back home, why don't you tell me what are you both up to?"
Xin Xiaoli was expecting that question. He was even expecting his father to be sarcastic about Ah-Si's sudden return back home as well. "Nothing much," he replied in a small voice completely unlike his normal one. He sounded intimidating to others but right now, he was like a child who got caught stealing candy.
