He reached out and patted Shi Yang on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "As a man, it's never too late to start a career after establishing a family. Tonight's gathering is just to meet up first.

Shi Yang released a breath he had been holding halfway.

Shi Yang's father paused his steps and turned to look at Shi Yang, "What is it?"
There was a bit of shadow in the corridor corner, lit dimly by the distant window light, casting a heavy shadow over Shi Yang's handsome yet particularly firm profile.
