The man next to Big Dipper shyly peered at Big Dipper before quickly nodding . “Thank you…”
“Blah, you’re insulting me! What’s there to thank? We’re brothers—good brothers! We’re loyal and self-sacrificing, hahaha!”
Big Dipper burst into laughter .
“Big Dipper, where’s your dad?” the shy boy suddenly asked after a long silence .
The dirty Big Dipper turned quiet .
A long time passed before Big Dipper finally replied, “My mom said my dad went far, far away, and it’ll be a long, long time before he can return . ”
“Um… when will that be?” the timid boy asked .
“Winter probably,” Big Dipper answered cheerily .
“Haha, are you dumb? It’s all a lie to fool others . My dad either ran off with a mistress or he died . My mom must’ve told me that because she didn’t want to make me sad . ” Big Dipper’s voice was tinged with some loneliness .
“Don’t look at me like that . You’re more tragic than me . At least I still have a mom while both your dad and mom are dead,” Big Dipper said with a sigh .
“Mn…” The shy boy quietly agreed .
“Forget about that boring stuff . Let’s see how much money that idiotic woman had!”
Big Dipper’s dirty hand excitedly pulled out the wallet .
“D*mn!”
The two boys stared at the bursting wallet, their eyes shining brightly .
“For you!”
Big Dipper took out more than half the bills and handed them to the shy boy .
“I can’t… This is yours . I can’t take it . ” The shy boy shook his head .
“Why are you acting like a girl and dawdling? I’m giving it to you, so take it . I’ll need to use the rest of this to buy some medicine for my mom . She keeps coughing lately, and I’ve bought a lot of cold medicine, but it’s not improving,” Big Dipper said .
“You should keep it for Auntie’s medicine,” the timid boy said .
“It’s fine, I can just go and steal more . I have this skill which you don’t have, so take more,” Big Dipper cheerily replied .
The shy boy hesitated for a long time before finally thanking Big Dipper . However, he only took a few slips but wouldn’t take any more regardless of what Big Dipper said .
“Thank you…” The shy boy looked at Big Dipper .
“What’s there to thank? When you have money and I don’t, you’ve gotta lend more to me . Although I can’t guarantee whether I will repay it or not…” Big Dipper said after a moment of thought .
“Big Dipper, what’s your dad’s surname…? they shy boy suddenly asked .
Big Dipper was startled . “My surname is Big, so how could my dad’s surname be Small? Of course my dad’s surname is also Big!”
“Oh… Then I don’t think your dad ran off with a mistress . Otherwise, your surname would follow your mom’s,” the shy boy analyzed .
“En, you’re right!” Big Dipper bobbed his head . “Then my dad…”
“He’s probably dead,” the shy boy said with a tone of conviction .
Big Dipper looked at the other boy, dumbstruck . “I think maybe you should return the money to me?”
“How can you ask for it back once you’ve already given it away?”
A pleasant voice rang out from behind the two boys before the shy boy could respond .
The duo automatically turned around at the same time .
A slender and graceful teenage girl with an apathetic expression had been standing behind them since who knew when .
“Ah, idiotic woman!”
Big Dipper jolted in fright when he saw the girl and he immediately stumbled back .
