Lai Mingyan
"Dying at thirty?" Lai Julong almost paled upon hearing it. At this point, he surely wanted Lai Mingjie to suddenly be a good liar. He would rather hit him for scaring him than to actually deal with this truth.
However, Lai Mingjie only stayed quiet after. It was as if he was giving his father enough time to let it sink in. He then whipped out his phone and checked on that group chat that kept on disturbing him. What's up with these old people who kept on asking about Song Yi'er? The phone got pocketed soon after. Silence still ensued.
Lai Julong only hummed as he decided to take it as the truth. No wonder he couldn't say this even to his mother who would accept him for whatever he was. She already supported him in his unconventional choice; she would accept him not being human at heart just the same. Those things would never affect her so adversely after all.
However, saying that he'd die at thirty? She'd give her old son a whooping for sure.
