Chapter 188: Things Boys Are Too Embarrassed to Say

A week later.

Bincheng Hospital.

These past few days, Xiao Yu has been incredibly busy.

Ever since he returned to Bincheng.

People from the Criminal Investigation Team, City Bureau members, folks from Capital City, and even visitors from other cities have all come to see him…

And finally, his parents and his mother-in-law.

It all makes Xiao Yu feel like nothing more than a monkey in a zoo.

It’s so irritating!

Thankfully, he has his sister by his side every day.

Life’s pretty bearable, all things considered…

“I’m just a pitiful, unloved kid. I adore my sister so much, yet she won’t even give me a kiss. It hurts so much!”

Lying in bed, Xiao Yu blinked his eyes pitifully, putting on an act as if he were the little helpless one, all while eyeing Mu Qingwu’s playful, twisting glances from beside the bed.

He was pulling the perfect ‘little pitiable one’ look, as though no kiss could ever comfort him.

After a week’s healing, Xiao Yu’s injuries had actually long been taken care of thanks to the Salamander Regeneration skill.

But he still had to pretend, just in case someone thought he was some kind of monster.

Since spending every day in the hospital was so dreary,

he had no choice but to tease his sister to keep life interesting.

“Where’s the hospital!”

With eyes full of resigned mischief, Mu Qingwu reached out with her pale, graceful hand to pinch her brother’s cheek, chiding, “If Mom sees this, she’ll beat you to death!”

Xiao Yu scoffed, “You women only know how to solve problems with brute force…”

He playfully warned, “Believe it or not, I’ll add you to my blacklist. You never know when I’ll be a real jerk!”

That infuriating older sister of his – he really had to cherish her despite everything…

But Mu Qingwu got up and leaned in close to her brother.

She planted a kiss on his lips and said, “Satisfied now?”

“Haha!”

Delighted, Xiao Yu hugged his sister and peppered her with several kisses.

“You just know how to pick on me!”

With a hint of playful annoyance, Mu Qingwu made no move to escape her brother’s embrace.

After all, neither title nor reputation mattered as much as the brother beside her.

Even if someone caught them being affectionate, so what?

But then…

A puzzled look crossed Mu Qingwu’s face.

How had Xiao Yu’s injuries healed so quickly?

Wasn’t it said that he’d broken two ribs?

For the past few days, she had been staying with him in the hospital.

No one knew better than she did whether his wounds had truly healed.

Recalling last night, Mu Qingwu remembered how her radiant face had glowed like the morning sky.

Someone who broke two ribs…

How could that possibly be the case…

…

Night.

The young couple cramped together on a single hospital bed.

“Hey, little brother, let me ask you something~”

Cuddled against her brother, Mu Qingwu whispered.

“Don’t even ask – if you do, I haven’t loved you enough.” Xiao Yu rolled his eyes.

Oh, sister, you’re getting bad!

“I’ll beat you to death!”

Angrily, Mu Qingwu scolded, “Tell me, if we ever don’t have any kids, would you divorce me?”

Sure enough, it was one of those death-defying questions… Xiao Yu, with a playful tug at his lip, replied earnestly, “Considering both sides, I wouldn’t ever divorce you.”

“Huh?”

Mu Qingwu asked curiously, “Which two reasons?”

“First of all…”

Xiao Yu laughed, “For example, our love is still in its sweet phase – there’s no way we’d break up.”

Her eyes twinkled as she teased, “And the second?”

“The second is…”

Xiao Yu winced humorously, “If I were to divorce you, my parents probably wouldn’t have the money to help me find another wife.”

“Hahahaha!”

Mu Qingwu burst into laughter, playfully tapping her mischievous brother.

“Don’t laugh – this is a very real issue. That’s just our financial situation!”

Xiao Yu then shrugged, “Unlike you, sis, I’m not as wealthy – although that’s not even the main point.”

Giggling uncontrollably, Mu Qingwu asked, “And what is the main point?”

“The main point is…”

Xiao Yu grumbled, “I feel like even if I divorced you, my mom would find a way to break my legs – so there’s no way it could happen.”

“Haha, you’re such a rascal.”

Mu Qingwu clutched her brother affectionately, “You never fail to make me laugh.”

“No, that’s not being naughty,” Xiao Yu shook his head.

“Or could it be that you’re just too good to me?” Mu Qingwu asked, puzzled.

“Good, or evil – neither works. It’s all wrong.”

Xiao Yu grinned mischievously, “You really are… so bad!”

Mu Qingwu: …

“Sissy, say something and I’ll listen,” Xiao Yu winked.

“Not a word.”

Threateningly, Mu Qingwu warned, “If you make me do something I don’t want to, I’ll divorce you for real!”

“Alright, divorce,” Xiao Yu said cheerfully.

Mu Qingwu stared at him blankly for a moment.

“Sis…”

Xiao Yu wrapped his arms around his sister, asking, “Do you think we could still be friends after a divorce?”

“So hypocritical.”

Mu Qingwu snorted, “Are you saying that after the divorce, we’d still be friends?”

“You’re so annoying, always exposing me!”

Xiao Yu laughed heartily as he held Mu Qingwu close, “You know, the moment I first saw you, I felt a need… a determination to somehow make you mine!”

“Hmph!”

Delighted by his sweet words, Mu Qingwu’s face lit up, “Love at first sight?”

Xiao Yu teased, “Wanna hear something boys are too embarrassed to tell girls?”

Mu Qingwu’s eyes sparkled, “Of course.”

He admitted, “Love at first sight is really just a case of lust at first glance.”

Xiao Yu snorted, “If a girl looked as perfect as Sister Fu Rong, you think a guy would fall that easily?”

“Ha!”

Cuddled against her brother’s shoulder, Mu Qingwu asked with a laugh, “Anything else?”

Xiao Yu continued, “And those little hair ties girls use on guys can be so annoying.”

Xiao Yu’s mouth twitched, “But when they call you ‘Daddy’, it’s really something else!”

“Bite me!”

Mu Qingwu, unable to handle the kingly, domineering teasing, blushed deeply and nipped her brother’s neck…

while Xiao Yu grinned foolishly, baring his teeth.

That mischievous heart still stirred with naughty thoughts.

Knowing well that his sister and even his mom were much tougher than him,

he decided to hold off and provoke his sister another day.

But to save his skin, Xiao Yu’s eyes twinkled as he said, “Oh no…”

“What’s wrong?”

Mu Qingwu relented, looking at her brother with concern.

“My eyes—they’re going blind!”

Feigning helplessness, Xiao Yu clutched his eyes, “It feels like something got in here!”

“Huh?”

Mu Qingwu got up and moved closer to him, “Hold still, let me take a look.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Yu obediently let his sister lift his eyelids.

“Let me blow on your eyes.”

Mu Qingwu leaned down and gently blew on his eyes, “Hoo… hoo… long.”

“Sis,”

Xiao Yu looked up at her elegant face and petite lips, “Blow a little closer.”

“They’re close enough,” Mu Qingwu frowned.

“A bit closer, please,” Xiao Yu pleaded softly.

“Okay, fine.”

With a resigned sigh, Mu Qingwu obliged, getting even closer, “Don’t move… ow!”

Taking advantage, Xiao Yu kissed his sister’s red lips.

Mission accomplished!
