"Sister-in-law, are you jealous?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Huh?
Jealous my ass! You're asking for a beating! "
Sister-in-law pinched my face. To be honest, I quite liked it. Her body movements always made my heart itch.
I laughed dryly. "Sister-in-law, where did cousin go?"
"Don't mind him. It's best if he dies outside."
Hearing her say that, I felt that they might have quarreled again. Sigh, when I was here, they would accommodate each other.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. It's not worth it. Go to bed early." I stood up and wanted to wash up. Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law grabbed my hand and pulled me back.
I almost bumped into her. My elbow pressed against her chest. It was so soft. "What time is it? It's still early. Accompany Sister-in-law and drink some wine."
Damn, it's alcohol again. When my cousin gets drunk, he likes to get touchy and talk nonsense. When my sister-in-law drinks too much, it's easy for her to show her thirst. That's why, based on my conclusion, alcohol isn't a good thing, and I rarely touch it.
Tonight, there's only Sister-in-law and I. What if she gets drunk and acts like a pervert? I shook my head.
"Then don't drink."
Fortunately, Sister-in-law agreed. I was a little disappointed. I had a chance to kiss her, but I gave it up.
"Xiao Feng." Sister-in-law suddenly called my name.
"What's wrong?"
"I asked you to borrow money from Liu Jie. Are you willing?" She asked me suddenly.
"Yeah."
Speaking of borrowing money, wasn't it for cousin? I guessed that they quarreled because of money. I heard that cousin owed more than five hundred thousand. Although Sister-in-law took out two hundred thousand from her private savings, it wasn't enough.
Sigh, she still cared about cousin. Although she was stubborn, she couldn't let go. After all, they had been husband and wife for a few years.
"If you want me to borrow money, I'll ask."
These words were actually a little redundant. From her sister-in-law's point of view, her feelings were undoubtedly complicated. She didn't want her cousin to give up on himself. That debt of a few hundred thousand was like a huge rock that pressed down on him. It made it hard for her cousin to kick it out, and it was difficult for him to pull himself together.
However, she also had many concerns. On one hand, she was embarrassed. On the other hand, she was worried that cousin would go back on his words. If he didn't want to pay back the money, I would have to bear the responsibility. In the end, the debt would be on her.
She was just a weak woman in her twenties. How could she pay back the debt? It was obvious that there was a big risk, but Sister-in-law still asked me. It was enough to prove that cousin's weight in her heart was not something I could compare to.
The first wife was the best. No matter how many mistakes she made, she could let bygones be bygones. I reminded myself again that I was only her brother-in-law, so I couldn't have any improper thoughts. No matter how perfect I was, I couldn't compare to my cousin. In the end, it was all for naught. Maybe I should be more selfish. I shouldn't always place my focus on my sister-in-law.
Hearing my answer, Sister-in-law smiled brightly. She was like a pear blossom in the rain. My heart was intoxicated.
I was about to take out my phone and apologize to Liu Jie. Then, I would shamelessly beg her. After all, I had just coldly faced thousands of people. It was a sin. If Sister-in-law had told me earlier, the situation would have been different.
Now, Liu Jie's father couldn't wait to spit on me. I didn't expect him to pay me back. I felt that I should thank the heavens if he didn't scold me.
Perhaps Liu Jie would help me. Actually, I didn't care what Liu Jie's father thought of me. I just wanted to say that he knew how stubborn I was. He would be very angry. At that time, what he had said would vanish. My cousin would have one less life-saving straw.
In the end, it was my cousin's fault. Sister-in-law had warned him that it was risky to do business, but he didn't believe her. He was an idiot. We had grown up together. How could I not understand him?
I remembered one time when we were hunting rabbits in the mountain. My cousin boasted that he could kill any jackal, wolf, tiger, or leopard in a matter of minutes. Then, we encountered a wild boar. He was so scared that he peed his pants and couldn't walk. I carried him on my back and ran. I brought the wild boar into a pit and tried to kill it. Then, I dragged it home. My cousin said that he had killed the wild boar alone and protected me. I couldn't say anything.
"Xiaofeng, thank you for your kindness."
Sister-in-law couldn't help but kiss my cheek. Although it was just a kiss, it made me happy. I even had the courage to call Liu Jie.
"Yeah, I told you that if you have any trouble, I will help you unconditionally." I took out my phone and was about to make a call.
Sister-in-law stopped me. "What are you doing? You don't need to call me."
"Ah, then I'll tell you in person tomorrow!" I was in a dilemma.
She shook her head. "You don't need to borrow money. Sister-in-law is just testing you. I didn't expect you to be so reliable."
"You really don't need to?" The speed of her change caught me off guard. A woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
"Yes, by the way, the doctor called me today and said that you haven't fully recovered after reading your discharge report. You need to take some medicine to recuperate, so I specially brought some medicine back. You can sleep after drinking it." Sister-in-law changed the topic.
"I have to drink medicine again? It's so bitter." I looked gloomy.
"The doctor said that you must drink this medicine. Otherwise, you might get a concussion. Be good. Xiao Feng, I'll feed you." She was as gentle as a young wife. I nodded happily.
Soon, Sister-in-law finished mixing the medicine. It was a glass of red liquid. It looked a little strange, but I didn't smell any bitterness.
Sister-in-law stirred it a few times and blew on it. "Open your mouth."
I exclaimed and waited for Sister-in-law to feed me the medicine. In the end, she took a sip and moved her head closer. Her lips were right next to mine!
Oh my God, did she mean to feed me a mouth-to-mouth kind of medicine?!
My head almost exploded. It was my first kiss. I wasn't prepared at all, and Sister-in-law took it away just like that. I didn't blame her. Instead, I was really happy. Tonight, I was hesitating whether to kiss Liu Jie or not. I didn't know why, but I didn't want to. I wanted to give my first kiss and even my first night to the woman in front of me.
That way, I wouldn't have any regrets in my life. Actually, I only dared to think about it in my head. I really didn't expect that my plans couldn't keep up with the changes. I even planned to borrow some money from Liu Jie and kiss her to coax her, but sister-in-law tyrannically cut the queue.
That beautiful face that couldn't be any closer made my heart pound. I could even feel the heat of her breath. It was obvious that Sister-in-law was blushing. I didn't know which way was north.
This way of feeding me medicine was awesome. Why didn't she feed me like this before? Otherwise, I wouldn't have a problem drinking a few catties of Chinese medicine a day.
