Chapter 262 Shanghai Fest Arc (16) : Discipline Is Necessary
< Jin scowled at him. "Bro Nian was right! I shook the table purposely," he mocked at him, "but it\'s only because you broke your promise first."Jin laughed angrily. "It\'s no use telling you if you don\'t remember it. But know one thing that I will never accept your and Zhou Ai\'s relationship. As long as I am there, I will never let you leave in peace!"
"Jin!" He clutched his collar and pushed him back furiously "Enough! This is my life and who I choose to live with is none of your business. I had enough of you meddling into my life!"
For a moment, a flash of hurt and sorrow flickered in Jin\'s eyes. "Meddling? And what will you do if I don\'t stop meddling? Kill me?" He sneered.
Jun froze. The memory of his bullet piercing Jin\'s chest in his past life made him uncomfortable and shiver. His grasp weakened, and he let go of him.
"Right? I don\'t think you would hesitate to kill me if you got the chance," he balled his fist.
Jin studied his brother\'s eyes which looked increasingly dim and lifeless. Since he knew that Jun was also reborn, he also knew that he must be thinking of the past.
"You...you and Zhou Ai will never be happy, Bro," he then left taking large strides. the other side, Ai and Xing Bi had watched the whole confrontation between Nian and Jin. Needless to say, they were quite surprised to witness this side of his. But at the same time, they were also quick to believe the change in his personality.
Ai had seen how dangerous Jian and Nian looked when they had separated Jun and Jin from fighting each other that day of breakup announcement.
Whereas Xing Bi had witnessed it first hand how alarming he could become when he had beaten the shit out of those judges to the point that they had to be admitted to the hospital.
At that moment, she felt her heart pounding faster. The menace in his eyes was real. She thought that if Jun hadn\'t stopped him then Nian would have definitely tore Jin\'s ear apart.
Yunru shuddered and whispered. "Yeah he can crazy if he gets angry. Same with Bro Jian."
Shi Huan asked, "Are you also afraid of them?"
Yunru didn\'t want to look like a scaredy cat in front of her, but he had to admit the terror. "No kidding. They can be really vicious. You have no idea. Bro Zixin is also like that. He is not goofy like them. Gentle and calm. But if somebody annoys him too much..." he wiped his forehead. "Rest is history."
They saw Nian coming back, behaving as if nothing had happened. He beamed upon seeing the love of his life. "Xing Biiiii!"
He was about to hop into her hug when she cleanly moved away. "Don\'t be so touchy!"
He sobbed, feeling hurt. "How could you? Didn\'t my chocolate tart win over your heart?"
"You will need to work a lot harder than just making me a chocolate tart."
"Then let\'s go on a date!" He suggested. "I will work my ass off to impress you and then we happily get into a relationship!" He chirped.
"..."
He is becoming an expert on how to bring date in any conversation...
Ai cleared her throat and brought his attention back to her. "You were quite strict there."
For a moment, even she felt bad on Jin\'s behalf for some reason.
"Oh with Jin? You saw that?" He shrugged. "That\'s necessary you know. Siblings should live united, but he is making things difficult. I don\'t like that. I really wanted to tear his ear off."
Xing Bi gulped. Ai and Yunru\'s mouths twitched.
Nian collapsed on the couch, sighing. "But that damn Jun always comes in the way. He is just too softie."
Ai gave it a thought. "...Yes. I actually didn\'t expect that he would step in to help Jin."
Especially considering how sour their relationship is now...
"He was always like that. You know there was once a time when Jian and I punished Jin for being a troublesome kid. He was four I think? He wanted to eat something made by Mom, but she was sick that day. Even so, he insisted that she make food for him. He acted like a selfish brat. So Jian and I locked him in a dark room because he was afraid of the dark. We were pissed off. We told Jun and our sister, Nuo as well not to help him at all."
Ai, Xing Bi and Shi Huan - "...."
"That was fun. He was crying so much and begging us to let him out. But we didn\'t listen to him, haha. He was miserable."
"..."
Nian clicked his tongue. "But turns out that he was not so miserable after all because Jun was beside him the whole time."
Ai blinked her eyes.
"When Mom felt better, she scolded us really badly for locking Jin like that. When we came to bring Jin out, we saw that he was laughing with Jun. It was still dark. Jun hadn\'t switched on the lights because he knew that if he did that, then we will punish him like hell. When we give a punishment, nobody is supposed to interfere in that."
Ai was speechless.
"Whatever but Jin was quite happy and relaxed," he sighed again. "See? Jun is such a softie. Even though we told not to help Jin, he still didn\'t listen to us."
Ai was afraid to ask the next question but she did so anyway. "Did you punish Jun for helping him?"
"We smashed his most favorite video game into pieces and also made it sure that he didn\'t get to buy back again through Mom or Dad or another family member," Nian said nonchalantly.
"..."
Xing Bi was horrified. "W-weren\'t you going too far?"
"Discipline is necessary and a certain amount of fear too," he smiled. "Jin is also the youngest. Youngest siblings tend to be more spoiled so Jian and I wanted to set that boundary of not crossing the line. You cannot excused just because you are the youngest."
"But what if getting locked in a room would have impacted Jin in a negative way? Like trauma?"
Nian shrugged. "Not Jian or my problem. If he was afraid of having a trauma, he shouldn\'t have acted so selfishly and troubled Mom in the first place. Do you know how Mom felt so guilty for not being able to cook for him? She was literally forcing herself to make food despite being sick. We couldn\'t see that. That\'s why we punished him. If you are so afraid of the consequences, then you shouldn\'t act wrongly in the first place."
"Well...children tend to be like that sometimes," Xing Bi coughed.
Nian smiled. "And that\'s when you set the boundaries as soon as possible to make them know what they can do...and what they cannot."
