Chapter 166 Remember That My Family Name Is Ji (Part Two)


    But Ca still didn''t agree though and tried persuading him once more, "Sean, the boys look much


    more handsome whenever they''re ying the piano. It''s a sure-fire way of grabbing a girl''s attention.


    As for basketball, I honestly think you''re already ying it quite well. Are you really sure you don''t want


    to learn something different such as the piano?"


    Ca was acting just like any other typical parent would. Of course, they would support their children


    and let them learn what they liked. Even though Sean was just her brother, there was still a part of her


    that wished for him to learn something she was passionate about. Ever since she was a little girl, she


    had always been amused by watching the boys y the piano. There was just something about it that


    seemed to have charmed her.


    Be that as it may, Sean couldn''t help rolling his eyes at his sister. "Ca, I''m just ten years old. Don''t


    you think it''s still a bit too soon for me to think about stuff like how to dazzle the girls? Apart from that, if


    you''re really that fond of the piano, why don''t you just have your own child learn how to y it? You''re


    bound to have one eventually, right?


    And aren''t you forgetting that Terence is an extremely good piano yer? That should be enough for


    you."


    The minute he was done spouting that nonsense (to Ca''s point-of-view anyway), Ca was evidently


    raging with anger.


    ''This and that are two different things! I just sincerely believe it would be much more awesome to learn


    the piano instead of some sport. Am I wrong to think that?'' Ca said to herself.


    As anyone might have expected, Terence was on Sean''s side on this one. With tears in his eyes as he


    desperately tried holding back his chuckle, his face broke into a smile and said to Ca, "Ca, Sean is


    right. Don''t you think so, too? It wouldn''t be right to force him to do something he doesn''t like. If you


    truly like the piano that much, then we can just ask our child to learn how to y in the future."


    ncing over to Sean, he reassured him, "Don''t you worry. Since you like ying basketball a lot, I''m


    going to hire a tutor for you right after we''re done having dinner."


    Beaming with so much pleasure and satisfaction, Sean hunched up and gave Terence a high-five.


    "Apparently, women won''t ever be able to get how we feel," Sean concluded.


    Not taking kindly to what Sean had just said, Ca raised her hand a little bit and yfully pped the


    side of his head.


    "You''re still just a ten-year-old boy! You''re not even a teenager yet, for goodness'' sake! Stop spouting


    that nonsense and just finish eating your meal."


    Sean, feeling a bit annoyed, whined to Terence, "Well, I''m not a little kid anymore either, yet there ain''t


    no stopping my sister from hitting me on the head."


    With a smile on his face, Terence assisted Sean and carefully rubbed the side of his head tofort


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    him, "Sean, keep in mind that she''s a girl. We should act like gentlemen and just get over it. For now,


    why don''t you just go ahead and eat your fill? When we''re done having dinner, the two of us can go


    y basketball together."


    "Really? That would be great! I would love that!" After hearing Terence tell him that he''d be ying


    basketball with him after dinner, Sean behaved himself and leaned toward his te and ate to his


    heart''s content without saying a single word.


    As she was observing Sean, Ca realized that he was bing more and more capricious even


    though they had only been staying at Terence''s vi for just several days. This caused her to seriously


    think that it would be a good idea to bring him back to BH City in order to have him taste the harsh


    truths of life again.


    Later that evening, she changed into some athletic wear and warmed herself up to go for a run.


    As the cold breeze whistled against her, she could make out two silhouettes ying basketball on the


    field under the moonlit night, that of an adult and of a child. Then Ca started running on the red track.


    Since she rarely ever did any outdoor activities, the only thing Ca could manage was a sprint. She


    couldn''t run for long periods of time though. She then suddenly thought about the robbery back in BH


    City. If only she had run just a little bit faster and pushed herself to her limits thest time, she could''ve


    probably caught the thief who snatched her bag.


    Terence was on the defense as Sean handled the ball for his shooting practice. Shifting his gaze over


    to Ca, he noticed that she was already running out of breath after just briefly running around the


    track.


    "Sean, you wait here for a while and just work on your dribbling. I''ll just head over to your sister to


    check up on her for a second," Terence advised Sean, looking a little concerned.


    Naturally, this caused Sean to nce at his sister as well. He simply bobbed his head and replied,


    "Okay, go ahead. Please make sure she''s doing fine."


    Just as Ca was about to sit on the ground to catch her breath, someone suddenly grabbed her hand


    and pulled her up.


    "Don''t just sit there now. Let''s go for a run together," Terence encouraged her, holing her hand as they


    ran.


    Helplessly looking at his charming face, Ca couldn''t say no and stood up immediately. When the two


    of them started running again. Terence purposefully slowed down his pace to match Ca''s as she was


    still trying to find her rhythm.


    "Terence, how were you able to get such great stamina and endurance?"


    After one more cycle of running around the track, Ca, gasping for air, stopped abruptly and asked


    him curiously.


    Grabbing a bottle of water, Terence unscrewed the cap and handed it over to her. "Back when I was


    still in the army, I had no choice but to practice running every single day. Surely enough, little by little, I


    got so fond of it that it became a hobby and I couldn''t stop running even after I had already left the


    army."


    Taking a good hard look at Terence, Ca promptly took the bottle from his hand.


    At that moment, it suddenly came to her that


    Terence''s grandfather used to be the military chief of JA City at one time. Therefore, it shouldn''t be


    surprising for him to send his favorite grandson to enlist and serve in the army.


    From what she heard from other people, it seemed that when Terence''s father opted to start his own


    business instead of enlisting in the army, his grandfather had been so dejected of his decision. Based


    on all of that, Ca surmised that Terence must have done so in order to make up for his father''s


    actions.


    "Now I know why you''re as strong as a horse and as fit as a fiddle. But why is it that I can''t seem to get


    the feeling that you''re rted to anything about the military?" Terence never really gave Ca the


    impression that he had any experience being in the army at all, and that was mostly because he always


    gave off that ssy vibe. When people talked about soldiers, Ca always thought of them as valiant,


    undaunted, and passionate. At the very least, they always appeared to be high-spirited.


    "Actually, I''ve never really enjoyed serving in the army. Bearing that in mind, there''s really no reason for


    me to give off the aura of being someone from the military, aren''t there?" Terence retorted, taking a sip


    from the bottled water and fixating his eyes on the coast far from where they were standing.


    He might not have been fond of contributing to the army, but that didn''t necessarily mean he didn''t like


    serving his country. The only reason he had was that he truly believed it wasn''t right to solve conflicts


    by using violence.


    Upon hearing his answer, Ca stopped asking any follow-up questions. It was at that moment that she


    was finally able to wrap her mind around the reason why he was able to stealthily slip from the watchful


    eyes of his numerous enemies. On top of that, he was actually much lighter on his feetpared to


    any typical person.


    Deep in thought trying to take all of that in, she realized that


    everything made sense once she found out that he had at least gotten some sort of training while he


    was still in the army.


    When she was finally done catching her breath, Ca sprinted around the track two more times. After


    getting some good strenuous activities, she then headed back to the vi and went straight upstairs


    intending to have a quick bath to rinse off the sweat before going to bed.


    Upon getting a whiff of her scent and smelling the sweat from all that running, Ca immediately


    rushed toward the bathroom inside her bedroom.


    Meanwhile, in the hallway, carrying a ck tote bag in his hand, Nathan walked closer toward Terence


    as he was standing motionless beside the window, staring at the beautiful night sky.
