Annoying Pests

Although Lu Zihao was in a precarious situation deep within his consciousness, he was still able to project an impassive appearance as if nothing was amiss and he just chose to remain silent. 

Jin Liwei and Bacon didn't notice anything wrong with him, as the father and son continued talking with each other.

"I gave you permission to assist your Uncle in his work, but we still need to inform your mom about this," Jin Liwei said. "She's the one doing your configurations after all and you can't start working until she's done."

"I understand, Father," Bacon replied. "But will Mother agree to me working for Uncle Zihao?"

"Your uncle is your mom's brother. I'm sure she'll agree."

"Okay, Father. I hope so."

"Now be good and don't run off again without telling us first. I'm not happy with this behaviour. You're grounded for three days."
