"Shen, there's something I need to tell you." 

Dai Shenqiang silently waited for his brother to continue. His expression was flat and with no expectation in his eyes. However, it held a silent pressure in it.

"I'm really sorry, Shen. Something urgent came up, and I'm afraid I must leave now."

"I see." Dai Shenqiang smiled faintly again. "Then you should be careful on the way back."

Dai Zhiqiang felt more awkward since he didn't even ask him why. Even though the reason should be pretty obvious, since this wasn't his first time bailing out on their plan for work, Dai Shenqiang usually would still ask him why and when he would return.

He must be pretty angry if he didn't say anything like this. Dai Zhiqiang bit his lips anxiously.

"I…have no words to say. Sorry, Shen."

"It's okay, Brother. You have to work if you want to pay for our living expenses. I'm not a kid anymore, so I understand."
