Having another drink with Dad

  Just like that day when we came back from annihilating the Black Wolf Gang, but this time, Father took out a bottle of Chivas Regal from the wine cabinet.

  "What's wrong? Father? Changed your tune!" I admit that my words were meant to be teasing.

  "Ah! Your mom knew last time that I called you to drink brandy with me, your mom said can't drink brandy again, that wine is too strong!" Thinking of mom, dad's mouth always has a hint of a smile. In the future, I also want to find such a man!

  (Dragon Lady: That's not up to you to decide, listen to me, so you have to be nice to me! Otherwise, I'll write you with a big green frog. Tears: You? Do you have the heart and courage for that? Try it then, when the time comes, I'll leave Wen out and see who you'll write about! If you write about me again, I'll report you!

  Dragon Lady: You... are ruthless! Hmph! Can't mess with you, I'm avoiding you!)

  "So you mean... this wine isn't strong?" Isn't Chivas not strong? (Longni: As far as I know, Chivas is a late starter, last time I drank Chivas was just that, the strength wasn't small at all. Lei: I think so too!)

  "If you mix some black tea into the Chivas, it won't be as strong as brandy!" Father was clearly speaking with a hint of wishful thinking.

  "Actually, Mom didn't let you have Baileys for your own good!"

  "Oh dear, I've finally escaped from your mother's clutches, so spare your father!" Father looked at me with pitiful eyes, as if I was the heartless owner who abandoned a lovely little animal.

  "Alright, don't take this as a precedent!" As he spoke, Dad had already poured two glasses of Chivas Regal. His glass was all whiskey, without any fruit juice; while mine only had a small amount of whiskey added to it, the rest was all fruit juice. That little bit of whiskey... I reckon it's less than an ounce.

  "Your wound isn't healed yet, don't drink so much wine, or your mom will blame me!" Dad seemed to have noticed my discontent.

  "Hmm..." What else can I say, Father's tone is so... stern, I don't dare to resist.

  Then I clinked glasses with Dad, producing a crisp collision sound that surrounded my and Dad's ears. We exchanged a glance, our mouths filled with smiles.

  "Now it's time to get to the bottom of this!" I said, opening my mouth after Father had a drink. I suspect that the wine Father drank was used to boost his courage! Isn't there a saying that goes like this - "Wine can give courage to a cowardly person"? But Father isn't a coward, so he shouldn't need anything to boost his courage, right?

  "Is there someone in your gang who has betrayed you?"

  "Betrayal?......" Father thought for a moment, then smiled knowingly, but the smile hid an unfriendly meaning, and was full of endless killing intent. "I knew he wouldn't let it go!"

  "Father, you mean... he's been causing trouble for you in the gang before?" I slightly furrowed my brow. Why did Father never mention it? Why didn't I know anything about it? As a member of the gang, I should have heard something, but why didn't I? Was it because of what happened this past month when we were out?

  "It was just at the beginning of this month that he started spreading rumors everywhere, saying that I had colluded with the people of 'Yan Mei' and wanted to merge 'Lin' into 'Yan Mei', which made everyone in the gang anxious." When I heard Father's words, my heart skipped a beat. Had the person I killed discovered something? However, I had heard some rumors about him, how could he have such great power? Or... was there someone backing him up? Or did he betray 'Lin'? Those black-clothed people... wait, aren't they similar to the people Xiaoyin described? Could there be a connection between them? Although it's uncertain, it can't be ruled out, which would easily explain why they said Father colluded with 'Yan Mei' and came after me."

  "What's wrong?" He looked at my hand holding the cup and paused, then asked after a long moment of contemplation.

  "Father, you don't need to worry about this matter, I will give the gang a complete explanation. Can't let Father take the blame for this. But thinking about it, that person should have only affected a small part of the gang, most people shouldn't be too affected, otherwise Father wouldn't be so carefree."

  "......" Father didn't say a word, he just looked me up and down with an inquiring gaze.

  "Don't you believe me?"

  Tears!

  "Hmm...?"

  "You've grown up, matured, and learned to share our worries and difficulties, but it makes me and your mom look so old!" The first sentence is still full of emotion, but the second one... is a bit off.

  "Hehe, Dad, stop drinking and let's go back to sleep!" I grabbed the highball glass from my dad's hand and put it on the bar counter, someone will come to clean up later. Then I pulled my dad upstairs while telling him what happened this morning.

  "You're with Xuan..." Dad heard me mention being with An Pei Xuan and looked at me with ill intentions.

  "What's wrong with us? Is there something wrong?" I think we're quite normal!

  "No, no, no, no......" Father quickly denied it. I didn't know why father denied so fast! I don't have anything with An Pei Xuan either!

  "Oh......!" Although I don't know why Dad asked this, since he won't say it, I can't get into his belly and communicate with the tapeworms inside! So I had to give up.
