Not long after, she picked up the call. "Hey, sister-in-law, don't scare me. I know I was wrong. I promise I won't do this next time."
At first, I was worried about this matter, but I didn't have time to rest. I thought I would go back after chatting for a while, but I didn't expect something to happen one after another. Now, I had forgotten about greeting my sister-in-law.
"Wah, you heartless fellow. I thought something happened to you. You've offended so many people. If something happened to you, what would happen to me and our child?" After saying that, my sister-in-law started to cry again. I could almost imagine her aggrieved look.
She was pregnant now, so she was different from before. Her nerves were very sensitive, and it was easy for her thoughts to run wild. Suddenly, she couldn't find me. That emptiness and loneliness burst out, and it was hard to avoid her mood swings.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I'll go back tomorrow morning."
If I were in front of her, I would have hugged her, kissed her, and protected her. But now, I could only comfort her through the phone. Moreover, I had to delay it until tomorrow.
If I weren't at the police station, I would have rushed back without hesitation. But now, the situation was different. I hadn't cleared my name yet. If I acted rashly, it would be one disaster after another.
"It's okay. You should go to school. I'll turn off my phone later. I don't want to have nightmares," she said weakly.
I was a little puzzled. Was there any connection between turning off your phone and having nightmares?
But I didn't think too much about it. I coaxed her a few more times, and she gradually stopped crying. She promised me that she would go back to sleep. I heaved a sigh of relief.
Sigh, speaking of which, I'm really a bastard and an idiot. It was just a small action that could have saved me a lot of trouble, but I accidentally forgot about it. In the end, I accidentally hurt sister-in-law's heart. Don't look at me using Liu Jie as a shield again and again. Although sister-in-law didn't say anything, she definitely cares about it.
Speaking of which, she was my sister-in-law in name but also my lover in secret. Even if she knew that I was accompanying my girlfriend, she could only turn a blind eye to it. However, she was afraid that if my relationship with Liu Jie grew stronger day by day, it would mean that the time I spent with her would inevitably decrease.
Unless it's like what Liu Jie said, where she moves to my sister-in-law's house. If I do some mental work, I might be able to realize my dream of sleeping with her!
Before that, I wanted to give them a heads-up, especially Liu Jie. As long as she could pass this hurdle, it would be easy to talk to my sister-in-law. They had a good relationship for a period of time, and Liu Jie even brought cosmetics for my sister-in-law. However, it would be difficult for her to share her boyfriend.
Hence, whenever I thought about these things, my head would ache and I would feel an invisible pressure on my body. This was also why I felt like I could empty my mind after meeting Little Cherry. It was a wonderful feeling.
Last time at the restaurant, my sister-in-law had seen it. She had been worried when I talked to Brother Long of the Tiger Head Gang. Afterward, she had reminded me to be careful no matter what. She was also afraid that I would suffer some kind of revenge. If that happened, her hope for the future would be shattered.
I felt gloomy. Although it was almost 1 AM, I didn't feel sleepy at all. I looked around the room and confirmed that no one was peeking out. I started to practice Bajiquan. I didn't have much time left. Tomorrow morning, Qu Yihu would test me personally. I had to seize every second to practice. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. If I wasn't good at understanding, I would use hard work to make up for it.
I turned all of my unhappiness into motivation for cultivation. Every time I punched out, there would be a whistling sound of the wind. As I punched out, I felt as if my movements were as smooth as flowing water.
Maybe it was because of the pressure in my heart, but I didn't dare to stop for even a moment. Once the sun rose, it would be the time to test me. I couldn't lose!
I was getting more and more familiar with the basic Bajiquan, including the subtle techniques. I had already memorized them. I could clearly feel the Dantian's aura condensing quickly. It seemed that I only needed one point to smoothly reach the Clear Strength Stage. However, I couldn't grasp this point. I was like an ant on a hot pan. This was caused by my lack of understanding. For a Clear Strength Stage expert, they could easily condense the Dantian's aura. This was already beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
For example, an ordinary person could only move an object that weighed more than a hundred pounds. If it was heavier, they could only use external tools. However, a person who could use his aura could not only move an object that weighed more than a hundred pounds, but he could even move an object that weighed three or four hundred pounds.
Originally, a Clear Strength Stage expert was already very powerful. If I could master a secret martial art manual, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. I couldn't help but look forward to it. The aura of the Dantian was like bubbles. If I wanted to reach the Clear Strength Stage, I needed to gather all the bubbles into one.
I could only condense most of the aura, leaving only a little bit each time. It was like a magnet that repelled each other. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't merge with it. I tried many times, but there was no result. It made me very depressed.
Before I knew it, the sky was bright. Someone knocked on the door. I had to stop practicing. I opened the door and saw Little Cherry. She was holding a bowl of beef noodles, a salted duck egg, and a glass of milk.
The fragrance that assaulted my nostrils made my stomach growl. After a night of cultivation, I wasn't tired or sleepy, but I was starving. Little Cherry was really considerate. I said thank you and Little Cherry walked in. Just as I was about to close the door.
"Hey, hey, hey, kid, you're not allowed to close the door. Don't push your luck. It's already good enough that you have the chance to deliver food. You still want to relive your old dreams!"
A familiar male voice came from outside. Not long after, he walked in. It turned out to be Captain Fang. He looked unhappy. His scolding scared Little Cherry. She put down the breakfast and turned to leave.
"Can you be more polite?
Is it fun to scare a little girl? "Seeing her scared face, I couldn't help but shout.
"Hey, kid, why are you so arrogant? You even shouted at me?
Who do you think you are? You took advantage of Qu Miaoting last night. Her dad will deal with you later. If you can't get through this, you'll be detained for at least half a month. See how I'll deal with you then! "Captain Fang said aggressively. He didn't even look at me.
Originally, he was at the door. Seeing that Little Cherry was about to leave, Captain Fang took a step forward and closed the door. Little Cherry was caught off guard and bumped into him.
"Little beauty, are you feeling unwell? Come, let uncle take a look."
Then, he revealed a charming smile. This guy had panda eyes. He seemed to be on the night shift. I wondered if he had seen porn before, but he was aroused by my beauty. I was furious.
"Hurry up and let her go. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!
You represent the people's police force. Don't bring shame to this profession, okay? "I was already in a bad mood, so I roared.
"I think you're the one who's stubborn. Do you believe that I won't shoot you!"
Captain Fang was displeased. He touched his waist and found that his gun was gone. To be precise, it was in my hand.
