Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Did you suffer any losses?
Old Sun drove Qiao Yutong to another team, and they quickly saw the youngster they had caught.
"Eh, itâs not him." Qiao Yutong furrowed his brows, this kid was obviously not the one who had fought with him earlier. As for the appearance of that guy, even if he turned to ashes, he could still remember.
Old Sun said confusedly, "What do you mean itâs not him? He had been drinking, so when he saw us checking, he tried to run. Weâve already checked; the car owner is him."
Qiao Yutong furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, "Could it be that I really chased after the wrong person?"
Old Sun understood and said, "You mean the person you were chasing just now wasnât him, and you had a conflict with someone else?"
Qiao Yutongâs mouth twitched as he said, "That bastard, I wonât let him go."
"You got it wrong, and you still wonât let it go? Why?" Old Sun looked at Qiao Yutong with confusion.
Qiao Yutong gritted his teeth and said, "Heâs a bastard, a scumbag. Even if this matter doesnât concern him, there must be other things on him. I will definitely catch him."
Old Sun looked Qiao Yutong up and down, hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Xiao Qiao... did you... perhaps suffer a loss just now?"
"Suffer a loss... Ha... No, how could I? When have I, Qiao Yutong, ever suffered a loss? Absolutely not."
Old Sun looked at Qiao Yutongâs unnatural demeanor and her attempt to cover it up, and he was rather puzzled. Qiao Yutong was known as a combat expert in the criminal police team; usually, the criminals she encountered were out of luck.
But from the way she was talking, and all the dust on her, it didnât look like she had come out on top. If there really had been no problem, Qiao Yutong should have brought the person back. Instead, she returned alone, which made the process quite intriguing.
At this time, Song Xiaodong had already slipped back home. Outside the door, he saw that the lights were still on in the house.
"Sis, why arenât you asleep yet?"
"I couldnât sleep without you back, hey, what happened to you? Youâre covered in dirt." Song Xiaoru immediately frowned.
"Hehe, itâs nothing, just had a bit too much to drink and took a tumble."
"You didnât hurt yourself, did you?" Song Xiaoru quickly got out of bed and looked him over from head to toe.
"Itâs nothing, Iâm pretty tough. A fall doesnât bother me. Lie down, sis. Iâll go take a wash."
"Take your clothes off, Iâll get the water ready."
The house didnât have a proper bathing area, just a secluded space partitioned with wooden planks.
Song Xiaodong found this kind of life quite endearing; he wiped the sweat off his body with a towel inside while chatting with his sister, who was squatting in the yard washing his clothes.
"Throw out your underwear." After washing his outer clothes, Song Xiaoru said to Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong hurriedly said, "No need, I can wash them myself."
Song Xiaoru pursed her lips and smiled, "Feeling shy now, are you? From when you were little, Iâve always washed your clothes. Whatâs there to be embarrassed about?"
"Heh, well, I am an adult now, arenât I? Isnât it a bit too much to let my sister wash even my underwear?"
"Whatâs too much about it? Am I not your sister? I take care of you now, and when you get married later, thatâs for your wife to do. Iâll wash it, throw it out."
Song Xiaodong grinned and tossed out his underwear.
Song Xiaoru picked it up and immediately started washing it in the basin, not at all disgusted.
With his chin propped on a wooden board, Song Xiaodong looked at Song Xiaoru and said, "Sis, youâre so good to me. Without you, I might have been gone long ago."
With a gentle voice, Song Xiaoru raised her hand to brush away a few loose strands of hair from her forehead, and said, "With mom and dad not around, if I donât treat you well, who will?"
"Sis, donât worry, Iâll definitely treat you well for the rest of my life, Iâll make sure you have the best days. Buy whatever you want, have whatever you desire."
Song Xiaoru gave Song Xiaodong a look and said, "Right now, I just want a sister-in-law."
Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Donât rush, donât rush. A sister-in-law will definitely come along, but I have high standards. Not to say she has to be on par with you, but she canât be worse either, or else Iâd rather stay single for life."
"Thatâs true. My brother is so handsome and now has medical skills. Finding a wife should definitely be a good one. And just one day after returning, three beauties have come looking for you; youâre clearly very popular with the ladies. I have confidence in you."
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "In my sisterâs eyes, I must be the best man in the world, huh?"
A proud smile filled Song Xiaoruâs face as she said, "Thatâs right."
"Thatâs true. And in my heart, sister, you are the best woman in the world, without a rival."
"In the future, your wife will be."
"A wife is a wife, but she canât replace my sister."
"Alright, stop with your nonsense." Song Xiaoru hung the freshly washed clothes on the rope in the yard.
Watching his sisterâs profile, Song Xiaodong couldnât help but be smitten. Song Xiaoru was so beautiful and also so tender. He really wondered which bastard would have the good fortune to marry her.
Oh... how can I use the word bastard to describe my future brother-in-law? Could it be that Iâm too attached to my sister?
But thinking about Song Xiaoru getting married and leaving him one day, he really felt a bit reluctant to let her go.
"What are you thinking about? Arenât you going to shower properly?" Song Xiaoru, after hanging up the clothes, turned to meet Song Xiaodongâs gaze.
With a snort, Song Xiaodong said, "I was thinking, if my future bastard-of-a-brother-in-law dares treat you the slightest bit wrong, Iâll break his legs."
Song Xiaoru laughed out loud and said, "You little rascal, if you act like that, will I ever get married?"
Song Xiaodong said very seriously, "My future brother-in-law has to treat you like a princess, only that will do. Anything less, and I want no part in it."
"You, even if you find someone extremely good to me, when a husband and wife live together, itâs impossible not to have arguments and disagreements. How can there be a tongue that never touches a tooth?"
"My sister is so good, if anyone argues with you, it must be their fault, as if they were kicked in the head by a donkey."
"Youâre getting more and more worked up. If every girlâs family thought this way, how would anyone manage to live together in the future? Do you really hope your wifeâs family will always interfere with your spousal affairs?"
Song Xiaodong was suddenly at a loss for words and said grudgingly, "Isnât that different? Whoever marries you must have knocked on so many prayer blocks in his past lives to have such luck, hmph, anyway, anyone who dares to bully my sister, theyâre definitely a bastard with a capital B."
With a feigned upset glance, Song Xiaoru said to Song Xiaodong, "Fine then, I just wonât get married. You can take care of me for life."
"Ha-ha, thatâs not a bad idea." Song Xiaodong laughed proudly, only to have his ear promptly pinched by Song Xiaoru.
