Are you saying I'm not an important enough person? [Granted, he's... still thirteen and has a ton to learn before he's able to take over for family stuff, but he's still a potential future business associate?? SORT OF?? Again, his voice hints that he's not actually upset by this, but he is trying to give her some perspective.]
I feel bad for your sister, though. It must be exhausting. [It's already exhausting for him, and he doesn't have to even deal with her all the time, sobs.
The other comment doesn't escape his notice, but he keeps quiet about it for now. Xiaolang's sense of responsibility made him a bit more accepting of his role within the family, but the sentiment was more familiar than he'd like to admit. Of course, right now, there were more important things at hand-- specifically, what the hell is going on in that haunted house.]
Maybe... we should check it out, then? J-Just so we can tell it's a fake! I'm sure it'll be really easy to do!
