After saying that, he looked at Su Xiaowei, took the soda from her hand, gulped it down in one go, and then handed the empty bottle back to Su Xiaowei.
"Su Xiaowei, thank you for the soda."
The movements were fluid and seamless, executed in one go, without any unnecessary delays.
After doing all this, Su Yang tucked the basketball under his armpit and strode away from his sister and Su Xiaowei.
Su Xiaowei didn't react much, while Qiu Yue looked at her brother's departing figure with a helpless expression.
She looked at Su Xiaowei and asked:
"Sister Xiaowei, what were my brother's reactions in class today?"
Su Xiaowei offered an explanation, feeling wronged.
“Qiuyue, I don’t know what your parents said to your brother when he came home last night. After he went to work today, he just kept working, all physical labor. He was covered in sweat and didn’t know to rest for a while. When I talked to him, he ignored me. When I asked him anything, he wouldn’t say anything. What’s wrong with him?”
Qiu Yue understood that her father had said something to her brother last night, and it must have been something very important.
But she couldn't possibly mention the murderer or the killing to Su Xiaowei, an outsider, even though Su Xiaowei was her betrothed sister-in-law.
"Sister Xiaowei, my brother must have something on his mind. Don't blame him. I promise he likes you."
Qiu Yue comforted Su Xiaowei.
Su Xiaowei smiled, revealing two dimples, and gazed at the autumn moon.
“I don’t blame him. I’m worried about your brother. He hasn’t eaten two meals and is still working hard and playing ball hard. I’m afraid he’ll get sick from overworking.”
"Sister Xiaowei, thank you so much. You should go back to your dorm first. I'll go check on my brother and see what happened."
Su Xiaowei handed a bag of biscuits to Qiuyue.
"Qiuyue, take these cookies with you and let your brother have some. I'll ask about it again when I get to work tomorrow."
Qiu Yue thought to herself, Su Xiaowei really likes her brother. She prepared soda and brought cookies, and even though her brother ignored her, she didn't get angry or blame him.
Thinking of all this, Qiuyue reached out and took the biscuit, thanked Su Xiaowei, and then rode her bicycle to catch up with her brother.
As a jeep drove past her, Qiuyue glanced inside.
When she saw the two police officers in uniform, the image of her mother being handcuffed and taken away flashed through her mind again.
Qiu Yue couldn't help but shiver.
She didn't understand why her father, Qiu Jingwen, had explicitly told her that nothing had anything to do with her mother, even though her mother was the one who was in trouble.
Moreover, her mother had told her that it was her problem, not her father's, and that it had nothing to do with her father.
To be honest, Qiuyue was a little confused, but she didn't want to think about that right now. She just wanted to get the truth out of her brother.
Upon arriving at Qiuyang's dormitory, Qiuyue parked her bicycle and called out to the inside:
"Brother, brother, brother, brother---".
She called out "brother" several times in a row.
Finally, Qiu Yang had no choice but to come out naked.
"Qiuyue, this is the male staff dormitory. Have you no shame? Go home!"
Qiu Yang was furious with his younger sister, almost cursing her mother.
