Chapter 158: Shu's Request

Also, the parties are boring as hell. I would much rather attend a karaoke party with you and your friends than attend a party with the pretentious folks," Shu responded. He made it clear that he didn't like the parties and didn't attend them most of the time.

"Your family sounds rich. I'm sure you must be forced to go to parties with them. What do your parents do, though?" Ryder asked Shu. He was curious about Shu's family and their business.

"My parents, ah, they are dead," Shu replied as he looked down. "Anyway, let's not talk about these sad things. I was thinking about going to a bowling alley. Do you want to come with me? Just to freshen up the mind," Shu suggested as he stood up.

Ryder realized that he has made Shu uncomfortable by bringing up this topic.
