When the two siblings turned sixteen, Xu Qing called them together very seriously, as if he had something important to say.

Jiang He was nibbling on the birthday cake, with cream hanging from the corner of his mouth. He was so naive that he didn't listen to what was going on outside the window.

Xu Jin and Xu Shi'an were still not very interested in the cake. They only ate a little fruit garnished on top and looked at Jiang He eating happily. Xu Qing coughed lightly and they immediately sat upright.

Xu Qing put his hands on his knees, looking like the head of the family, and glanced over the faces of the siblings. Xu Jin was now over 16 meters tall, and Xu Shi'an was close to 1.8 meters tall. However, Xu Jin was usually the irritable one.

Follow her mother.

He pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly: "After today, you will be adults."

"Yeah." Xu Jin and Shi'an nodded.

"You will be held criminally responsible."

"..."

"Yes, if you fight with someone, you will be arrested by the fat man and put in jail." Jiang He agreed at the side, Xu Qing glanced at her, she shrugged and continued to eat the cake without saying anything.

"You are different from others. You may also know that like Wang Yihao, after practicing Taekwondo for so long, even two of you can't beat one of you. Your mother taught you this."

Xu Qing tapped her fingers on her knees and slowed down her speech while thinking about how to organize her words, "I told you before not to cause trouble and not to be afraid of trouble because you were still young. Children fight only because of those things, and so do you.

Be sensible and know how to teach them a lesson."

"Uh-huh!" Xu Jin and Shi'an pecked at each other like chickens.

"But you young people, I also came from that age, and I know better than you that it is easy to be passionate, fearless of everything, and there are many things that are unclear... When I was as old as you, I still thought that a broken arm could grow back.

"What a big deal, it's like losing a tooth..."

"Pfft..." Xu Jin couldn't help but feel happy, but when Xu Qing glared at her, Xu Jin held it back and sat upright again.

"Dad, I know everything!" Xu Shi'an looked like an obedient child. He didn't have the domineering attitude of standing up for Xiaoxiao in school and one person against five.

Xu Qing ignored him and turned to Jiang He who was squinting to eat the creamy cherries on the cake. He paused and said, "Actually, we hesitated before letting your mother teach you this, because you might have avoided being bullied by others.

, you can also avoid being powerless when encountering some things, especially Xiaojin, who can protect yourself. But the shortcomings are also obvious. As long as you attack someone carelessly and break someone, even once, it is likely to affect your future.

life."

"Well, we understand." Xu Jin said.

"Is that clear? Last time Shi'an knocked down those two red-haired men, and you happily ran over and kicked them again?"

"Then...then..." She pursed her lips, but nothing came out.

It was just a couple of kicks to vent her anger. If Shi'an had moved slower, she would have been able to catch up.

Xu Qing waved his hand, "I've always told you not to cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble. Now that you are older, you actually understand a little bit. Some things are not that simple. It's not just that you can just say "I won't offend anyone if you don't offend me".

Give anyone who offends you a beating.

"Think about the consequences of everything. After all, you are still a little different from ordinary people." Xu Qing nodded his head with his finger.

"Actually speaking, there is nothing shameful about not daring to cause trouble or even being afraid of trouble. On the contrary, it is because you know the value of freedom, cherish life, and do not want to lose your current life easily that you can respond to those who try to destroy your stability.

Put up with it, because they are not worth it. Those who don't care, just to be happy for a while, but regret it later, they are the losers in life."

Seeing the siblings lowering their heads and listening, Xu Qing didn't say anything more. After they thought for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and think about it more when you have nothing to do."

"That's so well said!" Jiang He clapped his hands, held up the last piece of cake left on the table and asked him: "Do you want to eat it?"

"good."

"Oh, then I'll eat it myself."

Jiang He regretfully stuffed it into his mouth, as if he didn't hear Xu Qing say yes.

Nearly two-thirds of a whole big cake went into Jiang He's belly. Xu Qing was very worried that she would become like the charterer in Kung Fu - he was so thin, he looked like the charterer, and the real version of Kung Fu appeared.

.

Touching Jiang He's belly, fortunately it was not bulging and was still so flat and smooth.

"You used to think that a broken arm could grow back?" Jiang He thought Xu Qing was stupid enough when he was young.

"I do not want to talk to you."

Xu Qing sat back and picked up the phone. With just one glance, he could tell that Jiang He was eager to laugh at him.

Don't give her this chance.

Zhou Suzhi shared in the group again, "Shocked, these six cancer-causing foods are actually..."

The number of members in the small group who love each other has expanded from a family of three to six, which seems to make Zhou Suzhi very happy. The frequency of articles sharing about food causing cancer or content, as well as various high school learning methods has become quite frequent.

Xu Qing and Xu Wenbin pretended not to see them, and the group messages were muted anyway. Jiang He, as a good wife, sent two "applause/"s as perfunctory. When Xu Jin was very curious about knowledge, she wanted to educate her grandma about illiteracy.

In less than ten minutes, screenshots to refute the rumors were posted to the group.

Zhou Suzhi stopped talking.

Xu Jin very thoughtfully called @grandma, and Zhou Suzhi replied.

"You used to fight a lot." Jiang He picked Xu Qing's chin, like a female gangster.

Xu Qing is already a Buddhist, and like an eminent monk, he holds his cell phone without raising his head.

“It’s only after you fight it so many times that you realize how thrilling it was before.”

"When did you know?"

"After the last fight."

"..."

Jiang He couldn't remember the last time he said nonsense.

However, Xu Qing remembered that after practicing martial arts with Jiang He, Qin Hao was stabbed once. For a long time after that, he always felt the slightest fear when he thought about it, fearing that the slap would kill him.

Frequent introspection is a good habit. People grow up through introspection again and again. Xu Qing has been introspecting for half his life. He feels that his current life is inseparable from this.

In the evening, Wang Zijun drove out in a wheelchair and asked him to go out for a drink. Now the wheelchair is equipped with a virtual touch screen. It has so many functions that Xu Qing doesn't know how to use it. It has a very cyberpunk feel.

In the past, I never imagined that with the advancement of technology, Wang Zijun could make a wheelchair look like this. I heard that Song Hui designed the pattern on the back of the chair for him.

"Your hair is still so thick." Wang Zijun said with vicissitudes of life, envious of Xu Qing's figure.

He has become a real middle-aged man and has long started to worry about his hair.

"Actually, humans evolved from apes and have been losing their hair. From this perspective, your baldness is probably a new breakthrough in human evolution." Xu Qing tried to comfort him with scientific theories, and was greeted by Wang Zijun.

squinting eyes.

"If your theory works, I'm still a virgin now." Wang Zijun scoffed, taking out the thermos cup from the side of the wheelchair and taking a sip.

"Why?" Xu Qing was curious.

"Haven't you heard of the Ship of Theseus?"

"..."

The Ship of Theseus is a classic paradox. It originated from a warship, the Ship of Theseus. This ship has continuously replaced its parts for hundreds of years, such as rotten planks, torn wooden boards, etc.

The sail of the ship. So someone raised a question: after all its original parts are replaced, will it still be the ship of Theseus?

"More than 90% of human cells will be replaced in one year. Calculating it this way..." Wang Zijun pointed out. If Jiang He were here, he would definitely lament that scholars are so deserving of beatings when they argue.

"Wait a minute, you haven't had any nightlife this year?" Xu Qing discovered a blind spot and interrupted.

"..."

"..."

An awkward silence fell.

The evening breeze blew and the street lights flickered.

With a dark face, Wang Zijun turned the wheelchair, and Dudu drove away along the road.
