In the study, the two brothers sat facing each other. Ning Ge wanted to reach for a cigarette, but realized he was in his pajamas.
Ning Gang, as if reading his mind, got up and took out a pack of cigarettes and matches from the desk drawer, handed him one, and lit one for himself too.
"Big brother, you're hiding cigarettes, aren't you afraid sister-in-law will find out?" Ning Ge said belatedly after taking the cigarette.
Ning Gang paused as he struck a match, but still lit it, saying, "I've had too many scares tonight; I need one to calm me down."
Ning Ge heard the sarcasm in his tone and couldn't help but feel a bit sheepish. Seeing him bringing the flame over, he lit his cigarette.
"Go ahead, how did you end up joining the Special Service Organization? When did it start?" Ning Gang asked after taking a drag.
This kid must've hidden it deep; he managed to keep it from the family without showing a hint.
