"Second Brother, do you understand the seriousness of this?" Gang Shi said earnestly. "If you'd told us earlier that Nicole had such talent, what couldn't we have discussed? You had to keep it hidden and act on your own. Look what happened now—the girl went all the way across the star regions to take the exam. If anything happens, the family can only fret helplessly without being able to offer any help!"
Long Que also nodded. "Second Brother, even if Nicole really likes Mental Profession, she could have chosen one in the Eastern Star Region. Why go all the way to the Southern Star Region? As Eldest Brother said, if anything happens, the family won't be able to help at all. A child might not understand such things, but how can you be so thoughtless?"
Zhu Xing looked at Grandpa and curled his lips slightly. After the fact, you say anything can be discussed. If I'd really told you, would you actually have discussed it? Besides, there were no good Mecha Academies in the Eastern Star Region to begin with. If she wanted to study this field, of course she had to go to the Southern Star Region, where machinery flourished.
Besides, even if the girl had entered a prestigious school of the same level in the Eastern Star Region and something had happened there, what could his little family have done?
They made it sound as if they could have provided much protection.
However, he wisely kept those words to himself. If Grandpa lost his temper and beat him up on the spot, with his two sons watching nearby, how embarrassing would that be?
"Grandpa is right. I didn't think it through," Zhu Xing apologized, decisively but utterly insincerely.
In any case, things had already turned out this way.
