Chapter 4 - Family

Qin Sheng's home is in an old residential area.

The old buildings around here seem a bit out of place compared to the tall buildings not far away.

Qin Sheng walked into the community with his schoolbag on his back, as if he was familiar with the place.

"Qin Sheng is back?"

"Why did you come home so late today? Did something happen on the way?"

"Uncle Qin, Aunt Shen..."

"It's all right."

"I had extra classes at school today, so I got out of school a little late."

"No wonder, it's not very safe recently, it's better to go home early and visit Auntie's house more often when you have time..."

After simply saying hello to the elderly people sitting in the community, he slowly walked into a building.

His house is on the fourth floor and there is no elevator in the community.

Walking up the stairs, Qin Sheng could clearly smell the fragrance coming from the corner.

It was almost evening now, and his parents had already returned home from get off work.

At this time, I should be in the kitchen preparing dinner for them...

Qin Sheng quickly arrived at the fourth floor. Looking at the open door, he felt inexplicably nervous.

He had no parents in his previous life.

He has been alone since he was a child.

I have never experienced the taste of home.

He took off his shoes, put them in the shoe cabinet at the door, and then walked in slowly.

What caught my eye was a well-mannered young man, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room holding a book.

"Brother, are you back?"

He saw Qin Sheng and put the book down.

This is Qin Sheng's younger brother Qin Wu.

"Um."

Qin Sheng casually placed his schoolbag on the cabinet at the door and saw his mother Xu Muyan doing housework with a mop.

Father Qin Shen was busy in the kitchen, cooking for their family.

Their father cooks most of the meals for the family.

Qin Sheng glanced around and didn't see his sister Qin Ruo.

Most likely hiding in the room.

"Why are you back so late today?"

Xu Muyan asked Qin Sheng while mopping the floor.

"I had something happen at school today, so I was delayed for a while."

Qin Sheng walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, then casually picked up the remote control on the table and turned on the TV.

"Brother, you're not going to fall in love, are you?"

Qin Wu, who was standing by, couldn't help but make a joke after hearing this.

"fall in love?"

"Don't do this to me."

"Don't give me another grandson before you graduate..."

Xu Muyan, who was doing housework at the side, couldn't help nagging when she heard this.

"Go, go, go, no talk."

"It's just that something happened at school."

After hearing this, Qin Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then kept pressing the remote control in his hand to change the TV channel.

"Tonight's report, at 16:32 federal time, General Linghai went deep into the demonic territory alone and killed a catastrophic monster alone..."

"Evening report, demons have been moving around frequently recently, please do not go out unless necessary..."

"If you encounter danger, please call for help immediately..."

"..."

The news broadcast continued to be heard on TV.

"The general is so awesome..."

Qin Wu, who was standing by, was watching the news on TV and couldn't help but show some admiration on his face.

When Qin Sheng heard this, he remained silent.

Generally, those who can become generals are innate grand masters.

The path of martial arts was divided into six stages by the Human Federation.

Apprentice, warrior level, martial artist level, general level, master level, grand master level.

The demons are,

White level, ordinary level, elite level, monster level, Tiangang level, lord level.

For an ordinary person to become a warrior in this lifetime is equivalent to changing his fate.

It is extremely difficult to go further.

Not to mention the legendary Grand Master and above.

You will almost never see it once in your lifetime.

"It's time to eat."

Just then, a deep voice came from the kitchen.

Qin Shen brought the dishes out of the kitchen and placed them on the dining table. Then he turned around and went to the room to call his sister.

"knew."

Qin Sheng and Qin Wu beside him heard this and responded.

Then Qin Sheng turned off the TV and slowly stood up.

Two dishes, one meat and one soup.

This is their daily meal.

For Qin Sheng, it was considered rich.

"elder brother."

A yawning sound came from behind.

Qin Ruo was called out of the room by his father Qin Shen.

When she saw Qin Sheng, she called out listlessly.

I have to say that Qin Ruo is extremely good-looking.

She has a tall figure, a face that rivals that of a school beauty, and she exudes youthful vitality.

It's really eye-catching.

"Why are you so listless?"

Qin Sheng looked at his sister's condition and asked casually.

"Don't mention it. My back and waist are sore from practicing martial arts recently. That teacher is a piece of shit. If we can't learn, he makes us practice more until we can..."

When Qin Ruo heard this, he couldn't help but complain to Qin Sheng.

"You're still lucky. If you were our teacher, we'd fire you if you couldn't learn!"

"You're lucky."

"Definitely. Staying up late at night!"

Qin Wu, who was standing by, heard this and immediately interrupted.

"You're the only one who talks too much!"

Qin Ruo became unhappy when he heard this, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to hit Qin Wu.

"Okay, eat quickly, and then go back to your room and do your homework!"

Just then, Qin Shen walked over, looked at the two people who were about to fight, raised his eyebrows and spoke.

Qin Sheng looked somewhat helpless when he saw this.

My younger brother was already a second-degree martial artist at the age of fifteen, and my younger sister was already a first-degree martial artist at the age of two.

Moreover, both of them have not yet awakened their talents, so they basically have hidden potential.

Both of them are expected to be admitted to key high schools.

However, the two have been fighting since they were young, and neither of them would give in.

......

After dinner, Qin Ruo and Qin Wu both returned to their rooms.

My mother went downstairs to talk to the old men and women downstairs.

Only Qin Sheng and Qin Shen were left sitting on the sofa, watching TV quietly.

Listening to the sounds coming from the TV, Qin Sheng's thoughts were not here.

He is currently struggling with how to talk to his parents about his dropping out of school.

I couldn't possibly tell him that I was bullied at school, beat him up, and then dropped out of school...

This will not only cause them to worry but also get them scolded.

"How have you been doing in school?"

Just when Qin Sheng was in distress, Qin Shen next to him took the initiative to talk to him.

"...I'm doing pretty well."

Qin Sheng thought about it and decided to lie.

At least before the notice of enlistment arrives, they don't have to worry so much.

"Good?"

Qin Shen was silent for a long time after hearing this.

"...I feel like you're having a hard time in school."

"Xiaosheng, your mother is not here, tell me the truth, have you been bullied at school?"

When Qin Sheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

How did your father know?

I don't remember telling him about it.

"Don't think about it. Have you forgotten? Your uncle Li's son just got admitted to your high school this year."

"He recently told me that his son often saw you being bullied in the bathroom."

"If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have a tired look in his eyes. Then he slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and started smoking.

"I wanted to talk to you that day."

"But seeing that you have been unwilling to tell your family, I guess you must have concerns."

The news on TV drowned out their conversation, and the younger brother and sister in the room had no idea what they were talking about.

When Qin Sheng heard his father's answer, his heart skipped a beat and he didn't know how to respond.

"Good boy, you have really made progress..."

Qin Shen looked at Qin Sheng deeply and let the cigarette in his hand burn.

Qin Sheng, who was standing aside, looked at his father with some silence in his eyes.

"I still remember when you were little, the first person you looked for when something happened was your dad."

"Now, I dare not tell my family if I am bullied at school."

Qin Shen made a joke to ease the atmosphere, and then asked Qin Sheng,

"Are you afraid of causing trouble for your family?"

After Qin Sheng heard this, he felt a little heavy in his heart for some reason, and then he replied,

"yes."

"Dad, I dropped out of school."
