Chapter 137 - Don't Tell Me You Really Did It?

"Oh, it was for protection against bees when I was young."
Little Fifth Brother was a little embarrassed, but still said truthfully, "At that time, Dad threw all of us into the forest on the outskirts of South City. Big Brother wanted to get some honey, but was stung. Second Brother then went, but was also stung. In the end, it was Third Brother who thought of this solution.
"After that, this became a bragging point for Third Brother, but…
"Big Brother and Second Brother still ignored him, haha!"
As little Fifth Brother spoke, he inexplicably couldn't help but laugh, as if he was recalling some scene.
"Is that so?"
Lu An couldn't help but laugh as well. She imagined Big Brother and Second Brother wearing headscarves too. It was inexplicably hilarious!
Suddenly, she recalled something, and said, "So, when all of you were young, Dad actually threw you into a forest?
"Didn't you grow up with your former little sister?"
"Mm, I guess."
Little Fifth Brother nodded and answered truthfully, "It was just that Mom died after giving birth to you, right?
"At that time, the family was in a mess. I heard that in a fit of anger, Dad bundled us up and threw the five of us into the forest, while he stayed at home to take care of… that former little sister.
"Initially, he even found us a few bodyguards, who took care of us for roughly more than a year. After that, for some reason, all of them suddenly ran away one day, and didn't even want their pay."
Thinking about it now, little Fifth Brother still couldn't understand it.
Speaking of which, he had quite liked those bodyguards. Although he was still young back then and didn't remember much, he vaguely felt that they had been pretty good to him.
"Is that so?"
Lu An couldn't help but laugh. Perhaps it was because the five of you tormented Dad? Looking at you now, I can imagine how mischievous you would have been.
"Then, what happened after that? How long did you guys stay there?"
In the end, however, her heart still ached a little. It must have been tough to be thrown into a place like that at such a young age.
"Oh, about five or six years? Or seven or eight years?
"I don't really remember.
"But, when we came back…"
Little Fifth Brother spoke without thinking, then fumbled his words before he said vaguely. "That, then…"
"Then what?"
Little Sister was dumbfounded. She didn't understand. She wanted to hear more!
Little Fifth Brother couldn't take it anymore. "Then nothing!
"Little kids shouldn't ask too many questions, understand?"
Saying that, he patted her head.
"Alright then." You're a big kid!
Lu An gave him some face and didn't ask further. She then recalled what had happened earlier and said, "Then, what that person said just now, that matter…"
Lu An was a little worried that she would pull down little Fifth Brother's mood.
Unexpectedly, little Fifth Brother answered seriously, "Outside of my family, he's my best friend."
"Oh, is that so?" Then…
Little Sister's voice turned careful, as if afraid that he would blame her. Little Fifth Brother found it a little funny and rapped her on the head. "What are you doing? You're not the one who did anything wrong."
"No, I was…" Worried about hurting you.
Before Lu An could finish speaking, little Fifth Brother said, "Actually, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have…"
Tears welled up in the young man's eyes, but he refused to shed them.
Lu An's heart ached a little, and she comforted him gently. "Alright, how should I put it? There will always be times when things don't go as planned.
"Although I don't dare imagine it, but…
"Don't tell me you really did it?"
