"Sunshine Home Station has arrived!"

Mu Liuyun pushed the caterpillar on her thigh, then pulled the sleepy-eyed Mu Xiaoxi out of the car. Looking at Mu Xiaoxi, who had just fallen asleep on her lap and was still a little drowsy, Mu Liuyun felt a pang of sadness.

'If I were a normal man, maybe I wouldn't have needed to wake Xiaoxi and carry her home on my back.'

Mu Xiaoxi, who was behind Mu Liuyun, seemed to sense his mood and suddenly skipped over to Mu Liuyun: "Brother, let's have a race! I'll wash Grandpa's socks if I get home late!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Xiaoxi took the lead and started running.

"No, you two are so alike!"

Mu Liuyun screamed and hurriedly followed. But his short legs were no match for Mu Xiaoxi's long legs. By the time Mu Liuyun reached the bottom of the building, Mu Xiaoxi had already rushed upstairs.

Mu Liuyun could only huff and puff as she climbed the stairs, yelling, "Mu Xiaoxi! You just wait!"

Looks like I'm definitely going to have to wash my smelly socks today.

"call."

After running for ages and climbing six flights of stairs, Mu Liuyun finally arrived at his front door. He let out a long sigh of relief and was about to open the door when he suddenly heard his neighbor's door open.

Immediately afterward, Sister Wang came out of the door carrying a bag of trash. Upon seeing Mu Liuyun, Sister Wang's gaze sharpened.

At this moment, Mu Liuyun, dressed in women's clothing, had a few beads of sweat on her face from the intense exercise, which stuck her wig to her cheeks. Combined with her soft breathing and rosy cheeks, she looked extremely alluring.

But instead of saying anything sexually harassing as usual, Sister Wang gave a girlish smile.

"Xiaoyun, you're back?"

"Ah, you're back, Sister Wang."

Mu Liuyun paused for a moment before speaking, because Sister Wang was really different today.

Aside from not sexually harassing her in women's clothing, Sister Wang's attire was also quite different.

Because of her job, Sister Wang always wears heavy makeup and revealing clothes that accentuate her figure, paired with sexy high heels.

But today, Sister Wang was dressed in simple sportswear, with no trace of makeup on her face, and her hair was simply tied in a ponytail. In an instant, she transformed from the club's top saleswoman into the girl next door.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyun? Don't you think my outfit looks good?"

Sister Wang carried a garbage bag, spun around in place to show off her sportswear, and seemed quite satisfied with the outfit.

"no..."

Mu Liuyun stared blankly at Sister Wang, trying to find the right words. After thinking for a while, she finally spoke: "It's like something you lost before, Sister Wang, has suddenly come back."

"Really? Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing Mu Liuyun's words, Sister Wang suddenly burst into laughter. She then came to Mu Liuyun's side and patted her shoulder with the hand that hadn't been holding the trash bag: "Come on, let's go get some late-night snacks!"

"Sister Wang, I..."

Mu Liuyun was about to use the excuse of cooking for her husband to refuse when she saw Sister Wang suddenly looking at her with tears in her eyes and a wronged expression.

"Your sister is leaving, aren't you going to see her off?"

Although Sister Wang's expression was exaggerated, Mu Liuyun felt that it was a genuine expression of her emotions. Perhaps only in situations like this would she use an act to conceal her true feelings.

Mu Liuyun and her family of three have lived here for three years. Although their relationship with the other neighbors isn't bad, it's not particularly good either.

After all, things are different now than in the past. Everyone is working hard now, unlike in the past when we could get together after get off work every day and chat about all sorts of trivial matters.

Only Sister Wang, who lived next door, had a good relationship with the family of three, and they would even eat together occasionally.

Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun nodded.

"Sister Wang, let me change my clothes first?"

"No changing!"

"Sister Wang, should I invite Grandpa too?"

"Get him out!"

"Okay~"

After throwing away the trash, the two headed straight for the barbecue stall near the entrance. Although the food at this stall was just average, the prices were reasonable and the ingredients were fresh, making it a popular late-night snack choice for many residents of Sunshine Garden.

"Give me some meat, cilantro rolls, eggplant, flatbread, two bottles of beer, and two glasses. Never mind, I'll get them myself!"

"Sister Wang, I can't drink alcohol."

Hearing Mu Liuyun say that, Sister Wang rolled her eyes at him: "I didn't ask you to drink it, both cups are mine!"

As she spoke, Sister Wang opened the beer bottle, filled two glasses, and drank them down in one gulp.

"Oh, that's awesome!"

"Sister Wang, the food hasn't been served yet, please drink slowly!"

Mu Liuyun refilled her glass while urging him on. Even though it was just a barbecue, a patron is a patron, and the service should still be impeccable.

“Hey, you don’t understand. These two glasses must be drunk before the meal. This is the first time in three years that I’ve drunk alcohol for myself.”

While speaking in a language that Mu Liuyun couldn't understand, Sister Wang rested her arms on the table and looked at Mu Liuyun with a smile.

Before long, all the dishes that Sister Wang had ordered were served. The two, who were already starving, didn't stand on ceremony and started eating heartily while chatting.

Until the table was a mess of cups and plates, Sister Wang finished her last two glasses of wine, then crossed her legs and lit a cigarette.

Looking at the deep starry sky, she suddenly asked, "Xiaoyun, will you miss your sister?"

Mu Liuyun was gnawing on the last skewer of meat when he heard the question. He put down the skewer and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I definitely will."

"But, Sister Wang, where are you going?"

Sister Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "I've saved up quite a bit of money, and I plan to go back to the county town near my hometown and open a small shop."

"commissary..."

Mu Liuyun imagined Sister Wang, who usually wore heavy makeup, sitting in a small shop in the county town selling things, but it didn't seem very realistic.

Suddenly, Sister Wang leaned forward, slumped onto the table, and blew smoke all over Mu Liuyun's face: "Hey, Xiaoyun, guess why I'm in this line of work?"

As Mu Liuyun blew away the smoke, she thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "A gambling father, a sick mother, a sister who is studying, and you, broken as you are?"

"What? Hahahaha!"

Sister Wang burst out laughing, slapping the table with her hand. After a long while, she wiped away her tears of laughter and looked at Mu Liuyun.

"How could that be? Those are all made-up stories to trick gullible men into spending money!"
