"Heh heh, I knew Brother Nie wouldn't forget me. There are three bonds of iron in life: studying under the same roof, going to war together, and visiting brothels together. We've at least done the third one together—our brotherhood speaks for itself..."
Zhuo Yang was naturally familiar with everyone, and he laughed as he spoke.
