Extra Chapter Xie Qingxi: Dream on!

"belch--"

Xie Qingxi let out a big burp to release the gas, and then drank some water.

If he had known his older brother was such a devil, he would have preferred to sweep the streets with Mu Xiaoyuan rather than come here.

Mu Xiaoyuan is the brave woman who beat someone so badly that Xie Qingxi ended up in jail.

"Your brother cooked for us himself, don't be ungrateful."

The plate of stir-fried pork strips in front of her was so salty it tasted bitter, but Mu Xiaoyuan ate it with relish, as if her sense of taste had failed her.

Xie Qingxi stared at her for a moment, then sighed heavily.

They had a day off today, and Mu Xiaoyuan wanted to drag him to do volunteer street sweeping again. Suddenly, his older brother called, asking him to come to his apartment, saying he wanted to treat him to something delicious. He dragged Mu Xiaoyuan over excitedly, but what kind of rubbish did his brother give them to eat?

Undercooked stir-fried pork chunks, overcooked stir-fried pork chunks that are too tough to chew, stir-fried pork slices that were forgotten to be salted, stir-fried pork strips that are so salty they taste bitter... Xie Qingxi felt that she never wanted to see stir-fried pork again in her life.

Xie Qingtang came out of the bathroom, walked up to the two of them, and asked, "How did it go?"

Xie Qingxi didn't want to talk; his throat hurt.

Mu Xiaoyuan commented solemnly: "The meat isn't tough this time, but it's a bit too salty. You can add less salt, and the meat should be cut a little finer."

"Okay." Xie Qingtang nodded and went back into the kitchen.

Xie Qingxi: "..."

This can't go on forever.

His brother wouldn't have learned to cook for no reason; it must have been his sister-in-law who made him do it.

Oh right, where is his sister-in-law?

Xie Qingxi asked loudly, "Brother, where's your phone?"

Xie Qingtang's voice came from the kitchen: "On the sofa."

Xie Qingxi rushed over, picked up his brother's phone, unlocked it skillfully, opened the contacts, and searched for Zhang Qin's number.

After searching around, I couldn't find anyone with the nickname "Zhang Qin," but I did find someone who seemed to be his sister-in-law named "Hardworking Xiao Zhang."

Looking at the call log again, the last call was to Xiao Zhang, who works hard.

Given his brother's personality, it's unlikely he would give such a name to someone unimportant; it seems this is the one.

Xie Qingxi dialed the number immediately.

The phone rang twice and then was hung up.

I called again, and the call was disconnected again.

What's going on?! The sister-in-law isn't answering her brother's calls. Did her brother do something to upset her?

It's not impossible that his brother is clueless about romance. No wonder he suddenly learned to cook; he was trying to please his sister-in-law.

Xie Qingxi supports his brother on this matter, but if he were the guinea pig, then forget it.

Xie Qingxi wrote down Zhang's number and dialed it with her own phone, but the call was also disconnected.

Xie Qingtang came out of the kitchen again with the freshly made stir-fried shredded pork, and saw Xie Qingxi squatting next to the sofa holding two mobile phones.

"What are you doing?"

Mu Xiaoyuan took the plate from Xie Qingtang and answered for Xie Qingxi, "Call for reinforcements."

Xie Qingtang walked over and took her phone from Xie Qingxi's hand.

"Brother," Xie Qingxi said with some worry, "Sister-in-law isn't answering her phone, could something have happened?"

Xie Qingtang slapped him on the head and dialed Zhang's number again.

Still no answer.

Xie Qingtang turned and walked towards the bedroom. After changing her clothes, she came out and, while changing her shoes, instructed her younger brother, "Wash the dishes in the kitchen."

Xie Qingxi: "...Okay."

As long as he doesn't have to eat his brother's cooking anymore, he'll do anything.

After watching Xie Qingtang leave, Xie Qingxi turned around and saw Mu Xiaoyuan still eating, and her eyelids twitched.

After finishing the last shred of meat, Mu Xiaoyuan put down her chopsticks with a lingering sense of satisfaction. "Xie Qingxi, your older brother is a gentle person. I like him."

Xie Qingxi had a bad feeling. "So?"

Mu Xiaoyuan: "Marry me and make me your wife, then your older brother will be my older brother."

Xie Qingxi almost threw her phone away, "...Dream on!"
