Gu Shengsheng finally voiced the question that had been puzzling her for a long time.
"Grandma, don't you miss him? I've noticed you're all pretty scared of him. I am too, though."
Lu Linlin and the old lady sighed.
Lu Linlin was the first to speak. "Well, it's a long story. My brother... he was never one to smile or joke around. I was scared of him ever since I was little. Grandma would even hide from him when she was eating snacks. He was like a walking terror."
"Later, when he got older, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, Grandma tried to get him to date. He scared her so badly she didn't dare bring it up again."
"Anyway, we were scared of him when he was alive, and we're still scared of him now that he's dead. For a while after he died, Grandma and I were sad, of course. But we also ate a few snacks every day and let loose a little. If he ever came back, the good times would be over."
Gu Shengsheng was suddenly at a loss for words.
