"I don't know," he replied.

The tone was calm, without any ups and downs. Wu Xie raised his eyebrows and smiled silently, and did not ask again.

Take out an apple from the fruit bowl and peel it little by little with a paring knife. It's a pity that the fat man is not here, otherwise he would have seen his skills in peeling apples.

"Xiao Xie, I heard from your mother that you are bringing back a friend this year."

It was my second uncle's voice, and no one had come in yet.

Wuxie handed the peeled apple to the younger brother: "I get angry after eating too many oranges. An apple is good for your health."

"Second uncle! You're here today." Wuxie stood up and went to the door to greet him.

"Dad, you are back too."

"Who brought it? Your mother kept praising you." asked the second uncle.

"Um... you know him," Wuxie paused and whispered to his second uncle, "You have to give me some face, otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen next."

"Haha!" Second Uncle Wu looked at Wu Xie with disdain, a look down from someone who has been in a position of power for a long time: "Just you? What kind of trouble can you make. Has your Third Uncle contacted you recently?"

Father Wu couldn't get in their conversation, and no one could get out. "Oh, what are you doing here? Second brother, Xiao Xie, let's go in first."

After entering the living room, the first thing he saw was Zhang Qiling eating an apple.

He nibbled on it in small bites, making a faint chewing sound. Immediately, Wuxie felt the aura around his second uncle and his tense state.

"Second uncle, why are you so nervous?" Wuxie asked him with a smile, then looked at his father again and asked him to sit on the sofa.

Father Wu: "Well, I'll help your mother cook first, and you can entertain your second uncle."

In the Wu family, the second uncle is actually the most in charge. After he had done so many things, my father would always go to his second uncle and ask him to look after him.

"Tell me what's going on."

"It's nothing. It's just the Chinese New Year. He had nowhere to go, so he came home with me."

Seeing his second uncle's brows furrowed, Wu Xie was still a little frightened. Apart from his second uncle, he had never been afraid of anyone since he was a child.

Uncle Wu poured himself a cup of tea and glanced at his nephew who had no eyesight.

"Now that Mr. Zhang is here, please stay here peacefully, but... don't take my nephew around with you in the future. As you can see, he is the only one in our Wu family. His parents can't control him, and neither can I." He can't control it anymore. If you and that guy called Fatty aren't by his side, he won't be able to do anything."

"What do you mean, am I useless?"

Wuxie clicked her tongue and looked at her second uncle displeased.

"You yourself know what your strength is, and you also know how dangerous the places you went to in the past are. Without them both, you don't know how many times you would have died. Besides, your parents are getting older, so you should think about them."

Wuxie didn't want to argue with him about these things, it was pointless, and the final result would be whatever he wanted.

Zhang Qiling said: "You can't control it, and neither can I. He has his own ideas, and sometimes I can only try my best to save his life."

"Then what if I insist that you not follow him!" The tea cup was placed on the table, making a harsh sound.

"You can try."

"What's wrong?" Mother Wu broke the silence of the moment while holding the dishes.

"Mom, it's okay. I'll help you serve the food." Just as Wuxie stood up, there was another slight sound. When he looked back, he saw that an apple core was thrown into the trash can at his feet.
