Chapter 60: Chapter 60: All She Asked About Was You

Song Xiaoru stared at Song Xiaodong for a long while, then let out a chuckle.

Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, sis, I’m telling the truth here."

"Yes, yes, you’re telling the truth. I believe you." But the smile on her face clearly showed that she didn’t believe him at all.

Song Xiaodong became somewhat anxious and said, "Sis, I really can make it happen for you."

Song Xiaoru replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, but we have to find someone first, right?"

Song Xiaodong stroked his chin and said, "That’s true, there has to be someone qualified to be my brother-in-law."

Song Xiaoru nudged Song Xiaodong with her elbow and said, "All right, I was supposed to have a free meal, but you’ve ruined it with your fussing. Let’s go home, and I’ll make you something to eat."

Song Xiaodong said, "Let’s eat out. Xiaoqiang is in the hospital, and I was thinking of visiting him."

"Xiaoqiang is in the hospital? Did he get into a fight again?" Song Xiaoru frowned.

Song Xiaodong quickly explained, "It wasn’t our fight; someone else picked on us..."

He recounted the incident to Song Xiaoru, but didn’t mention that he was the one who injured those people; instead, he said that he called the police, who then rescued Wang Xiaoqiang.

Song Xiaoru couldn’t help but frown and said, "That Su Peng used to be quite nice. It’s really unexpected that he’s turned out this way."

"Sigh, let’s not talk about that now. Let’s go grab some food."

Song Xiaodong wanted to take Song Xiaoru to a nicer place to eat, but being used to saving money, she refused to spend extravagantly, so they ended up having a meal at a snack bar, spending just over thirty yuan.

After eating, the two of them went to the hospital together. Wang Xiaoqiang couldn’t walk yet, but his spirits were pretty high. He was having a lively chat with Lin Su’er, the pretty young nurse.

"Sis, you’ve come to visit me too." Wang Xiaoqiang was quite surprised to see Song Xiaoru.

"You little monkey, you got yourself hurt so badly, how could I not come and see you?" Song Xiaoru scolded Wang Xiaoqiang fondly. In her eyes, Wang Xiaoqiang and Li Gang were almost like her own brothers. During the years that Song Xiaodong was not at home, these two guys had really taken good care of her.

Song Xiaodong blinked and teased with a laugh, "I say, Xiaoqiang, it seems like this misfortune has brought you luck. You might be leaving the hospital with a beauty in your arms."

Wang Xiaoqiang immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, Dongzi, stop embarrassing me. Do you know what Lin Su’er has been talking with me about?"

"Ah, you can’t say that." Lin Su’er’s face turned red all at once, and she hurriedly stopped Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled and said, "What’s there to be shy about? You asked me so much, and now you won’t let me talk?"

"Stop it, you’re annoying." Lin Su’er stamped her foot and ran out.

Song Xiaoru watched Lin Su’er’s retreating figure, smiling as she said, "Xiaoqiang, that girl is really pretty."

Wang Xiaoqiang’s face darkened and he said, "Sis, she has absolutely no interest in me. She talked to me for ages, all about Dongzi’s stuff. She’s obviously interested in Dongzi."

"Fancy me?" Song Xiaodong pointed at his own nose, somewhat baffled.

Wang Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes at him and said, "You were showing off here yesterday, and then you made that girl admire you. She’s been talking to me about you all day, digging up everything she could about you."

As soon as Song Xiaoru heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "That girl sounds nice. I’ll have a chat with her sometime."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened as he said, "Sister, please don’t start matchmaking. I’ve barely even spoken a few words to her. How can you drag me into this?"

Song Xiaoru laughed lightly and said, "You’ve spoken little now, but you can talk more later. Didn’t you hear what Xiaoqiang said? The girl is interested in you, and that’s enough. Plus, she seems pretty and to be a nurse, her personality must be good too. I think it’s quite nice."

Song Xiaodong was at a loss for words and said, "Sis, I’ve got my own matters under control. I’ll definitely find you a sister-in-law who’s as pretty as a flower. Happy now?"

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded repeatedly and said, "Sis, Dongzi really is something. There was also a Miao Xuanxuan who came with us yesterday, not only is she beautiful, but her family is also wealthy. We even called her ’sister-in-law’, and she didn’t mind."

"Miao Xuanxuan? The one who scolded you at our place that day?" Song Xiaoru looked at Song Xiaodong questioningly.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Yes, that’s her. But we’ve cleared up our misunderstanding, and now we’re just good friends. Nothing more than that. It’s Xiaoqiang and Gangzi who were joking with her."

Song Xiaoru smiled and said, "I’m telling you, you little rascal. You’ve only been back for a few days, but you’re already attracting pretty girls. Seems like I really don’t have to worry about you."

Song Xiaodong replied with pride, "Of course, I have to choose carefully."

However, Song Xiaoru stared at him sternly and said, "Let me tell you, I support you in choosing a girlfriend, but you absolutely cannot play with anyone’s feelings, or I won’t let you off the hook."

"I know, I know," Song Xiaodong kept repeating, understanding that his sister was rather traditional, and couldn’t stand all the messy relationships between young men and women before marriage, while it seemed Song Xiaodong was a little messy himself.

After chatting for a bit, Gangzi came in with a bunch of food, and everyone chatted and laughed. Then Lin Su’er walked in.

Song Xiaoru immediately went to Lin Su’er to chat, making Lin Su’er quite nervous, while Wang Xiaoqiang and Li Gang made faces at Song Xiaodong, which left him speechless. He had hardly spoken a few words to Lin Su’er, and now they were acting like he had done something to her.

When he found a chance, Song Xiaodong pulled Lin Su’er outside.

Clearing his throat, Song Xiaodong said awkwardly, "Nurse Lin, don’t mind it. My sister is just anxious for me to get married, so she pays special attention to any girl who has even the slightest connection to me."

Lin Su’er’s cheeks turned red as she fiddled with the buttons on her nurse’s uniform and said softly, "Your sister is a very good person."

Song Xiaodong smirked and said, "Of course, my sister is the best woman in the world. It’s good that you don’t mind it."

Lin Su’er looked up at Song Xiaodong, bit her lip, and said, "I think... what your sister said... is quite right."

"What’s quite right?" Song Xiaodong looked at Lin Su’er, puzzled.

"Your sister said..." Lin Su’er’s cheeks grew even redder, she glanced at Song Xiaodong, then turned around and ran away.

Song Xiaodong stood there for a moment, shaking his head and smiling wryly, not knowing what his sister had said to Lin Su’er to make her act like this.
