"How many debts does he owe you? Why do I get the feeling he does this quite often?" Xiang Yang stage-whispered to Shi Ke.
Shi Ke chuckled, "They both do this. It's a rule we've had since we were kids." He turned to his little brother and asked, "How many debts do you owe Ye Kun's brother?"
Shi Nian coughed lightly into his fist before replying, "Just a few."
Yun Nan and Fang Xi looked at them in surprise. Xiang Yang asked the question the girls also wanted to ask, "How do they usually pay you guys back? Won't they skip out on the debt?"
Shi Ke glanced at the two younger boys—they'll always be boys to him—and said, "They won't because we're their older brothers. In any case, up until now, none of them had dared to rebel. As for how they would return the favor… that's up to them and the situation at the time. They'll repay their debts; a gentleman's agreement isn't to be broken, after all."
