Muchen looked at the ever-smiling Minde who was acting like it was a very natural thing to move into his house without a prior notice. 

"Explain" Muchen demanded as he plomped down on the couch beside Heya.

"Look big bro. You know I can"t stay with your Uncle and Aunt" 

"You mean your parents?" Heya asked. 

Minde nodded. "They"ll keep nagging me everyday. I can"t live that way" He whined. 

"If only you were a bit responsible, no one would be forcing you to stay with your parents at this age. Even Hoy doesn"t stay home often" Muchen scolded.

"I know" Minde knelt down beside him and held his hand. "I"ll suffocate to death there. I won"t be able to live. Let"s just stay here as one big happy family okay?" He said with a smile. 

He knew his cousin was never going to reject him. If he had asked beforehand, Muchen would have obviously refused. But coming here by this time, he knew Muchen was never going to throw him out. 

"Brother Minde." Heya called softly. "You"re making things a bit complicated. As much as I"d like to stay with you, grandmother is still going to send us all out. Why don"t you just go home so Big bro wouldn"t have to deal with you also?" Heya said.

To Minde, staying with Muchen was far better than staying with his parents. His heart was bursting with joy at the thought of living together with his beloved brother. Heya"s "rational" statement didn"t even bother him at all.

Heya shook her head and excused herself to go upstairs when she realised Minde had really made up his mind to stay with them.

Muchen used a hand to ma.s.sage his forehead in frustration. He understood everything Minde was trying to do. He wondered why he couldn"t just throw him out for a change.

He must have spoiled Minde too much by always doing whatever he wanted. That was why he kept acting and thinking he was a baby.

"Where are your things?" Muchen asked. 

"It"s already in the guest room" He responded cheerfully. 

Muchen looked at him in surprise. "You"ve already made yourself at home when the owner wasn"t even around? Wow!"

"My brother"s house is my house" Minde said cheekily before sitting down beside him. 

Muchen sighed. "I"ll only let you stay for a week and you won"t be staying for free."

"What? A week? Come on! Let me just stay here till grandmother travels back. I"ll do anything you say" He tried to negotiate.

Muchen"s lips curved slightly. "Anything?" 

Minde nodded to show he meant it. 

"Before that, you need to know that any weekend Sara is coming over to workout with Heya, you must quietly leave the house" He didn"t want any other man to see Sara working out. 

"Oh G.o.d! I totally forgot about her." After the incident of the "Date with blind people" he had gone into hiding. Sara wasn"t bothering him anymore so why was he still scared of her?

"Are you both...dating now?" He asked curiously.

Muchen ignored his question and went on with the conditions.

"You will help me gather some information."

Minde was a bit disappointed that his question was ignored but he was very sure he would get the answer soon enough "What information?" 

"On the w.a.n.gs" Muchen simply said.

"w.a.n.gs?" He asked in surprise. "You are digging them?" 

Muchen shook his head. "It"s for Sara."

He remembered he had asked Ms Long for this at one time but had asked her to stop. Now, he was glad he was doing this with a very good excuse. He was going to help Sara out and also satisfy his curiousity. He only hoped he would be able to know more about Sara through this investigation.

"That building I"ve been trying to buy from Song Changyu. Dig more into it and find out if it belonged to Sara"s grandparents" Muchen instructed. 

"What!?" Minde"s eyes bulged out.

"Sara"s.... Grandparents?" 

Muchen nodded. "Some things are strange. You should also check for any connection between the Songs and w.a.n.gs."

"Wait. Let me get this—"

"There is nothing to get" Muchen interrupted. "Just do it and bring the details to me."

Minde has a lot going through his mind and was still very much confused. But he nodded.

"And lastly—"

"There"s still a condition?" He whined. 

Muchen smiled before saying "You"ll treat grandmother well"

Minde felt he didn"t hear the last part well. What? Treat grandmother well? 

"What does she have to do with this?" Minde asked in shock. 

Muchen almost laughed when he saw Minde"s shocked expression.

"What do you know about grandmother? Her favourite food, colour, plant, birthday? Any idea?" Muchen asked expectantly. 

"Grandmother has a birthday?" Minde had totally forgotten that someone actually gave birth to Li Sun. 

Muchen eyed him and shook his head.

"Quick. Find out something for me." 

"I"ll call Father" Minde said before placing a call across to his father. After exchanging pleasantries with him, Minde asked.

"When is grandmother"s birthday?"

"Your grandmother?" Li Han was quiet for a while "Why are you interested in that all of a sudden? What are you planning to do?" 

"Ah! I didn"t mention. I now stay with Bro Muchen. He..." He was about to tell him Muchen asked him about it but he saw Muchen wag a finger, telling him to not say so.

"I just want to get to know her" He retorted into saying.

He heard his father clear his throat and say "I"ll get back to you" 

Minde gasped and looked at Muchen. "He doesn"t even know his mother"s birthday. Wow!"

Muchen felt an unexplainable sadness. Did Li Sun really deserve this?

Every of their birthdays, she didn"t fail to call and send a gift over to her children and grandchildren. But no one even knew her birthday? 

He sighed deeply and closed his eyes. 

"Bro, are you okay?" Minde asked in worry before his phone beeped with a text notification. He opened it to see the message from his father. 

"Bro. Granny"s birthday is in two weeks. Christmas eve. What do you plan to do?" 

Muchen finally smiled. How fortunate!

He still felt he was an unfilial son for not having the slightest clue of his grandmother"s birthday being a day to Christmas. 

"We...are going to throw her a party" He said.
