Astral Flower-Chapter 129: Distress

Nan Xian Mu felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He felt as if he had just reported his mother to his father, which was truly strange. But at the same time, he felt relieved.

Lying on his bed, he thought of his older sister.

Perhaps, his sister also felt this relieved when she purposely talked in front of their father and grandfather?

He didn’t know.

Nan Xian Mu slowly closed his eyes to sleep.

Nan Hai Yan looked at the screen and browsed some things there. Ever since Nan Hua was found, he found that he had been spending more and more time with his family and tried his best to accommodate them.

Watching Nan Hua’s progress, he felt proud from the bottom of his heart.

This made him remember the days when he was teaching his first son and brought him to the battlefield.

Worry, distress, and proud.

The feelings were mixed together.

But as he was just done, the call from his second son made him remember that he still has this brat at home. It was not like Nan Hai Yan wanted to purposely forget about Nan Xian Mu, but it was because Nan Xian Mu rarely came to him.

Nan Xian Mu was closer to his wife and Nan Hai Yan didn’t mind this matter at all. Since he was close to his wife, he also let his wife arranged for their son’s education.

But the call just now made him realize that he knew very little of this second son of his.

Nan Hai Yan pinched his eyebrows.

He felt that he should have spent more time with his family instead of just going on missions again and again.

In the end, Nan Hai Yan called his father.

"...Didn’t you just finish your call not long ago?" Old Master Nan was dissatisfied. He wanted to rest but his son seemed to be pestering him and didn’t let him rest at all.

"Father, I need some help."

"...What is it?"

"About Nan Xian Mu."

"Xian Mu?"

Old Master Nan furrowed his eyebrows.

Not only Nan Hai Yan, Old Master Nan also spend a lot of his time on the battlefield and fought for the nation. He spent very little time at home, but he was still closer to the two grandchildren because he took a lot of leave when the two children were still young.

It was just that he couldn’t do that all the time.

As the children turned into teenagers, Old Master Nan had to take more missions again because of some situation on the frontline. The two children were handed to Lin Mei Yu to take care.

Nan Xian Yu, the first son, came to the frontline not long afterwards to follow his grandfather and father’s footsteps.

Nan Xian Mu stayed at home and went to school obediently.

In Old Master Nan’s opinion, Nan Xian Mu is a good boy with good result at school and didn’t have much trouble at all.

"Did something happen to that boy?" Old Master Nan asked.

"He called me, saying that he didn’t want to participate in Summer Competition." Nan Hai Yan’s tone was light, but there was some gloominess inserted within. "I want you to make sure that he will not be signed up for the competition later."

Nan Hai Yan didn’t know where he would be put into missions again. With his age and physical condition, he knew very well that he would be sent to mission and might not be in Green Planet in the future.

There was no way he could possibly monitor Nan Xian Mu all the time.

So he could only ask his father for help.

Old Master Nan was a bit surprised when he heard Nan Hai Yan’s request. It was then he thought of his daughter in law and her high requirement for Nan Xian Mu. Even when they were young, Lin Mei Yu would arrange a lot of classes for the two children.

If not for Old Master Nan’s intervention, there might be not time for the two of them to have any rest at all.

Old Master Nan thought that with him already advising Lin Mei Yu, she would not repeat this again after the children became teenagers.

After all, they also have their own paths.

But it seemed that this woman had never changed.

"I know." Old Master Nan’s tone was cold.

"Thank you, Father."

"Anything else? I don’t want you to call me in the middle of the night again."

"No, there’s nothing."

"Ok."

The call was disconnected and Old Master Nan quickly called the butler to arrange for this matter. He also asked for the lessons plan for Nan Xian Mu before he entered High School A.

Looking at the dense classes, Old Master Nan’s eyebrows were tight.

"Nonsense! Did she want Nan Xian Mu to have no rest at all?" Old Master Nan was dissatisfied when he saw the schedule. He felt that Lin Mei Yu had no eyes at all and arranged the lessons so strictly.

This was not like raising a son but like raising a machine!

Humans also needed to rest and there was no way that it could be arranged this way.

The butler looked at the angry old master and didn’t know what to say. Lin Mei Yu arranged that way and he also tried to advise her, but she rebuked him, saying that this was for the best of her son.

Nan Xian Mu had to follow the path that had been arranged by his mother for him ever since he was young.

His result was indeed good, but he didn’t have time for himself.

The boy also didn’t dare to resist at all and followed his mother’s words obediently just like a doll that was being moved by others without its own will.

"Call Lin Mei Yu. Tell her that she’s not to arrange any other things for Nan Xian Mu in the future." Old Master Nan snorted.
