Lian Manman couldn't help but smile; Lian Shouyi's gestures were familiar because Wu Lang and Liulang would sometimes make such gestures before speaking.
In Lian Manman's memory, Lian Shouyi rarely behaved like this before. He used to be quite reckless, and these extra gestures made him seem uncertain and lacking confidence.
Thinking back, ever since returning from Taicang, the ones speaking in the Upper Room were mainly Old Master Lian, Lady Zhou, Lian Shouren, and Lian Jizu. Lian Shouyi spoke much less than he used to, and most of the time, he would watch others' expressions.
Lian Manman thought it must be because he learned a lesson in Taicang prison.
"Old Fourth, we are brothers, our parents are sitting right here. We are now like a tiger who has fallen in the plains..." Lian Shouyi's voice noticeably lifted at the end.
