On hearing this, Xiao Jin was momentarily stunned, then nodded, "Alright, I'll call my younger brother, but I estimate he's likely to stay in Hu City for the New Year, just like every year."
Father Xiao: "You two brothers were inseparable when you were young, but by the time you were fifteen or sixteen, you started to drift apart. I still don't understand what happened between you two. Why don't you tell me now?"
Xiao Jin: "There's nothing to it. The relationship between me and my younger brother has always been good. It's just that as we got older, we each have our own circle of friends, so it seems like we're not as close as when we were kids."
"Is that really so?"
Father Xiao was skeptical.
"Yes."
Xiao Jin nodded, his expression revealing nothing unusual.
