His eldest brother took him along when he trained, studied, played chess, and practised calligraphy. Sometimes, his Big brother and Second brother would fight over him, but the final winner was always his eldest brother. My second brother loved playing, so Big Brother never joined in, focusing instead on growing up and taking responsibility.

Following his Big brother and learning from his Second brother, Zhou Hengguangs body grew healthier, his skills improved, and his talents flourished. His Second brother showed him the joys of playing, laughing, and causing mischief, creating beautiful memories.

These experiences shaped Zhou Hengguangs unique personality. He became accustomed to wearing gla.s.ses to hide his eyes, a habit his eldest brother and Second brother indulged by giving him new gla.s.ses every year, each pair unique and special.

All sorts of gla.s.ses.

His free-spirited and adventurous Second brother even personally designed many styles and custom-made them as gifts for him.

Thats why Zhou Hengguang was so determined to follow Zhou Hengyang and continue to be his closest family.

But when the Second brother pa.s.sed away and the Big brother left, everything changed. There was no one to bring him out to play, make friends, or gift him gla.s.ses anymore.

Returning to the Provincial City from the Capital when he heard Big Brother had returned marked a significant s.h.i.+ft for Zhou Hengguang. Despite the better opportunities in the Capital, he chose to be close to his family in the province, even It meant a less prestigious position. Staying in the capital, he would be the chief designer of the National Design Inst.i.tute, responsible for important national-level projects.

As Zhou Hengguang fell silent, the cars atmosphere grew tense. Xu Xiaoxiao noticed the change in his demeanour when he removed his gla.s.ses, reflecting on how his serious demeanour could command respect.

Though Xu Xiaoxiao was often rambunctious and arrogant, she knew better than not to provoke Zhou Hengguang when he removed his gla.s.ses. It seemed like he had developed two distinct personas, one with and one without his gla.s.ses.

In silent agreement, Ji Fang and Xu Xiaoxiao exchanged glances. The rest of the journey pa.s.sed in silence until they reached Zhou Hengguangs house.

Your familys handling of todays matter has been embarra.s.sing. What are your parents thinking? Aunt may be muddled, but Uncle is not one to make such mistakes. As Zhou Hengguang put his gla.s.ses back on, he broached the topic of her parents reaction to the days events.

Yesterday, during dinner, my parents were upset because of Song Zishans antics. They went to see Su Wen, but instead ended up telling her they wouldnt attend. By the end, Xu Xiaoxiao couldnt help but chuckle out of frustration. I must say, Ive become quite tolerant now. In the past, she wouldnt have let it slide so easily.

Ji Fang widened his eyes in disbelief.

Even Zhou Hengguang acknowledged Xu Xiaoxiaos improved temperament, noting her ability to maintain composure and perspective, despite her previous confrontational tendencies..
