After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1037 - 1034: Fourth Brother, What Have You Endured

"Boss, still playing?" Meng Chi looked at Bi Xia, who was silent and then chuckled, tilting his head as he asked.Bi Xia shook his head, "You play another round, and then we’ll get ready to leave. Didn’t we agree to meet Vice President Xia and the others?"

Meng Chi nodded, "Alright, and what about you?"

Bi Xia glanced at his phone, pressed the HOME button, and frowned slightly, "I’ll take a break, you guys go ahead."

"Then Boss, why not lend me your account? I’ll level up for you." Meng Chi suggested.

"Sure." Bi Xia swapped places with Meng Chi, then nestled into the sofa where Meng Chi had been sitting. In that dimly lit space, the glow from the phone lit up the small, palm-sized face of the young man, oddly giving it an enchanting allure. It must be that teardrop mole beneath his eye. In previous stories, a teardrop mole was often a symbol of sadness, yet now it appeared cold and unfeeling.

Meng Chi wondered if maybe in a past life, the Boss cried too much and suffered too many scars, so in this life, the Boss initially gave off such a cold and distant impression, and the teardrop mole was left behind by too many tears from the past.

Thinking of this, Meng Chi shrugged, turned to Xu Renfei, said something, and joined Xu Renfei and Ye Xiao in a four-player game. Tsk, Meng Chi, when did you start having a talent for novel writing?

Xiao Wu: Brother went to find A Zhan.

Xiao Wu: Every year on this day, Brother goes back to see Fourth Brother.

Xiao Wu: You’ll see, once Brother returns, I bet his face will be bruised and swollen, but A Zhan won’t come out unscathed either.

Xiao Wu: Little Nine, why aren’t you replying? Brother isn’t home, and I’m so bored~

Xiao Wu: Speaking of which, Fourth Brother didn’t frighten you today, did he? Sigh, although we know some things, these things are better told by Fourth Brother.

Xiao Wu: If you really want to know but don’t want to ask Fourth Brother, plead with me, and I might tell you~

Xiao Wu: You’re not replying! Hmph! I won’t tell you that Third Brother is called Han Fan!

Looking at the continuous messages from Chu Wu on the phone, Bi Xia: ...

B Nine Ah Nine Ah Nine X: Are you really that bored?!

B Nine Ah Nine Ah Nine X: Xiao Wu, be good. Do you want mommy to sing "Bugs Flying" to you again?

Chu Wu: ...

Clutching the phone tightly, Chu Wu thought asking Bi Xia to sing "Bugs Flying" before leaving last time was madness! If not for how similar Little Nine was to her, she would’ve already swung her big broadsword at the troublesome Bi Xiaojiu!

Bi Xia rolled his eyes, then suddenly focused on the message from Chu Wu.

Xiao Wu: Three years ago today, Fourth Brother and the others went on a mission, but only Fourth Brother and Little Eight returned. Little Eight’s spiritual power was ruined, and Fourth Brother... was in a coma for half a year. Brother never told me the details, but he mentioned once that Fourth Brother’s life was saved by his brothers.

Quietly staring at Chu Wu’s message for a while, asked: What about Third Brother?

Xiao Wu:... I knew you’d ask, oh well, I don’t know much about Third Brother’s matter, I can only tell you what I know.

Xiao Wu: At that time, there were three of our brothers in Fourth Brother’s team.

Xiao Wu: Fourth Brother, Third Brother, and Little Eight.

Xiao Wu: Fourth Brother was the captain, Third Brother was the deputy, and Little Eight was one of the team members who had joined less than two years.

Xiao Wu: Third Brother went missing in action in that incident, but Fourth Brother doesn’t believe he’s dead, though the higher-ups have confirmed Third Brother’s death.

Xiao Wu: Since then, Fourth Brother left the military. It’s said that a few days ago, the military approached Fourth Brother, hoping he would rebuild Jun Men.

Jun Men... is it?

Xiao Wu: I’m not clear on the specific details; they keep it highly confidential. I couldn’t find anything when I checked back then, these were only told by Brother. But I’m certain that the situation back then was more severe than what I can tell now.

Xiao Wu: Are you... doing okay now?

B Nine Ah Nine Ah Nine X: Very well.

Xiao Wu: Very well?

B Nine Ah Nine Ah Nine X: Yes, very well.

B Nine Ah Nine Ah Nine X: Since Fourth Brother doesn’t want to talk, I won’t force him, but I’ll stay by his side, don’t worry.

B Nine Ah Nine Ah Nine X: Did someone really go looking for Fourth Brother like you said just now? Did Fourth Brother agree?

Xiao Wu: No.

B Nine Ah Nine Ah Nine X: I understand.

Chu Wu stared, bewildered at the phone, understanding? Understand what?

Suddenly, the phone was snatched away, Feng Zhihuai looked at Chu Wu with a smile in his eyes, "What are you doing? Seems like you’re not tired yet."

Saying this, he glanced sideways at Chu Wu’s phone, the smile on his face halted, "You told Little Nine?"

Chu Wu nodded, "I told her everything I knew, is that not okay?"

After a moment of silence, Feng Zhihuai shook his head, "No problem, just right."

"Just right?"

Without answering Chu Wu’s question, he asked, "Who do you think is more troublesome, you or Little Nine?"

"What’s meant by troublesome?!" Chu Wu gave Feng Zhihuai a hard pinch, "We’re pretty much the same, but I’m a bit more reckless than her. If you mess with her... she’d be more troublesome than me."

"So, just right," Feng Zhihuai nodded, speaking softly, "I just got word that Chen Buqun went to find Little Nine."

"Little Jiu’er?" Xu Renfei, who was closing the live stream, turned to look at Bi Xia, who was lost in thought next to him, separated by Meng Chi, "What’s up?"

Bi Xia slightly raised his eyes, smiling, "I’m fine."

Fine my ass, about to go insane! So, Fourth Brother, what exactly have you endured?!
