Rumors had it that Big Brother was very fond of him, but nobody knew that such favoritism was confined to satisfying material needs; he never inquired into his affairs, much less cared about any of his thoughts.
Between them was always a layer of film that appeared thin yet was impenetrably tough, impossible to pierce.
It was as if Big Brother was the one and only Crown Prince of the Bo family, while he was merely an illegitimate child who couldn't be presented publicly, brothers in name but worlds apart in reality—no, that's not right... now, he could be presented publicly. Anyone who met him would respectfully address him as Second Young Master.
And this sole honor was bestowed upon him by Big Brother.
Therefore, most of the time, he felt that Big Brother's 'favoritism' in front of others, giving him everything he desired, was only to maintain the dignity and reputation of the Bo family.
It was what someone with authority in the household should do.
