Chapter 257 Sister-in-law, where's my brother? (Qiuyu Mumu)

Cheng Yubai threw a question mark at him.

I thought that, given Shen Zhaoyi's previous attitude towards the old lady, she should be able to return to S City tomorrow after hearing this news.

Unexpectedly, they didn't follow the expected pattern.

What's so fun about this port city?
With his plans repeatedly falling through, Cheng Yubai felt that some things were not quite as he had initially anticipated.

In the hotel room, the sound of water in the bathroom hadn't stopped yet. It was the first time Shen Zhaoyi had ever seen a man take such a long shower.

Taking advantage of the break, she called Mumu.

After two beeps, the call was quickly connected.

"Sister?" came Mu Mu's deliberately lowered voice from the other end, with a hint of surprise in it.

Shen Zhaoyi knew he was probably keeping watch at the hospital, so she went straight to the point and asked about the surgery.

Morning or afternoon?

Did the doctor say what the probability of success was?

After being bombarded with two questions, Mu Mu was still wondering how she knew about this, and then she thought of Director Zhao, who had come once before.

In the end, it couldn't be kept secret.

"Don't worry, sister, this afternoon. The doctor said Grandma is in good condition and it will be successful."

After answering Shen Zhaoyi's question, Mu Mu then began to explain why she hadn't told her.

Last time, I disrupted someone else's travel plans because of my own affairs, so this time I thought I'd act first and tell them later, and then talk to them when they were ready to return to S City.

The intention was good, but Shen Zhaoyi still subtly condemned the behavior.

She went to great lengths and put in a lot of effort, but in the end she didn't even get the right to know. What kind of talk is that?

"Sister, I was wrong!" Mu Mu immediately corrected her attitude and admitted her mistake.

Shen Zhaoyi had no intention of giving a "don't do it again" kind of answer; she planned to settle the score with him when she got back.

After hanging up the phone, she started looking at the flights for the morning after tomorrow.

The noise from the bathroom had gradually subsided at some point.

As the doorknob was pulled open, Qiu Yu emerged from inside, wrapped in a bath towel. Her hair was half-dry, with a few drops of water clinging to the ends, which then slid down her collarbone and down to her well-defined abs.

In this situation, who could possibly resist?

"Aren't there bathrobes inside?" Shen Zhaoyi put her phone aside and admired the clothes openly.

"That bathrobe is too short, I can't wear it."

Qiu Yu lied unnaturally.

Shen Zhaoyi glanced at the piece of cloth covering his buttocks and thighs.

Even shorter, can it be shorter than this?

Feeling a little embarrassed by her gaze, Qiu Yu couldn't help but urge, "Don't dawdle, go wash up!"

Shen Zhaoyi, who was being instructed on how to do things, smiled and got up from the sofa.

As I brushed past him, I mischievously reached out and touched him, then exclaimed, "You've been quite disciplined lately."

Qiu Yu was so flustered by this whole thing that he almost went in with her, but he managed to suppress his impulse and moved back to the bed.

Looking at the bathroom door that had been closed again, his eyes were filled with burning anticipation.

As silence fell, the sounds coming from behind that small door continued to tug at his heartstrings.

Shen Zhaoyi was adjusting the temperature, preparing to fill the bathtub with water.

The phone on the island table next to me suddenly vibrated.

It's a video call.

She glanced at the note above—

【Qiuze】

Without thinking of anything else, assuming it was my own phone, I casually pressed the answer button.

The image appears; after two months, the child seems to have gotten quite tanned.

Shen Zhaoyi was about to speak when she heard the other person call out uncertainly, "Sister-in-law?"

The tone suggested that he hadn't expected to be the one answering the phone.

She nodded and asked, "Is something the matter so late?"

Qiu Ze seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Well, sister-in-law, I was looking for my brother. I dialed the wrong number. I'll talk to you later."

After saying that, she made a waving goodbye gesture and hung up the call first. Only after the screen went black did Shen Zhaoyi belatedly realize what had happened.

I don't think I brought my phone in with me, did I?

The next second, the vibration sounded again; it was another video request from Qiu Ze.

When the call connected, his voice already sounded somewhat terrified.

"Sister-in-law, where are you?"

"I'm in the port city."

"No, I'm asking you, where are you now!"

"hotel."

"with who?"

"Don't ask questions like a child."

Qiu Ze was genuinely a little scared.

He glanced at the note on his side, then looked at the face that appeared on the screen, and an unbelievable thought flashed through his mind.

"Sister-in-law, where's my brother? He's not with you, is he?"

Shen Zhaoyi thought he was asking about Pei Yan, and shook her head, "I parted ways with him this afternoon."

"Sister-in-law, is it possible that I was asking about a different brother?"

Qiu Ze had a feeling that things were going in a bad direction.

Just before going to sleep, he saw a message from Pei Yan saying that he ran into Qiu Yu at the competition and got beaten up. He was so scared that he immediately got out of bed and went outside to find a place with a good signal to check on his older brother's injuries.

They're brothers, after all. Even though he complains, he's still worried about them.

Unexpectedly, the two phone calls uncovered a secret.

His reminder caused Shen Zhaoyi to pause for a few seconds in surprise.

She turned her phone over and glanced at it.

This is clearly the one I took "Yu Shan" to buy this afternoon.

Autumn Island.

With the mountain.

It seems we've discovered something incredible.

The person on the other end of the phone was still pressing for details, but Shen Zhaoyi composed herself and said, "It's nothing, call back later, I have other things to do."

Qiu Ze sensed something was off, but didn't say anything more.

Because he also had a lot of questions and wanted to find someone to answer them.

At this point, the bathtub was less than half full.

Shen Zhaoyi put her phone back, looked at the tiles on the ground, and began to sort out the clues in her mind.

From our first meeting to the little moments we shared afterward.

It seems the only somewhat jarring point is its connection to the mountain, or rather, the island now known as Qiuyu.

He didn't seem to show any aversion to himself from the beginning.

Looking back at the conversations that took place in the club, it was clearly intentional.

And what about all the behavior at the match today? What did they say about being chased by a dog?
Ah!
Pei Yan went too far; someone who's full of lies deserves to be beaten again!
Shen Zhaoyi was a little angry.

But what angered her wasn't Qiu Yu, who approached her with ulterior motives, but herself, who had been misled by her good looks.

I thought I was the hunter, but unexpectedly, I ended up being the prey.

They were completely fooled.

She quietly turned off the tap, abandoned her plan to take a bath, quickly rinsed off, changed into her pajamas, and went out.

Standing outside the bathroom, Shen Zhaoyi looked at the man leaning against the bed, her eyes clear and bright.

Qiu Yu was unaware that she had already fallen into a trap set early in the morning. She was hugging her pillow and complaining in a coquettish tone, "Why did you take all the blankets? The air conditioning in this room is a bit too cold."

Not receiving the response he expected, he looked up at Shen Zhaoyi, who was standing not far away. Noticing that something was wrong with her expression, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhaoyi didn't say anything, but took something out from behind her and waved it in front of her.

"Qiuyu, you left your phone in the bathroom."

"I was wondering why I was like this just now..." Qiu Yu's words trailed off, and his expression instantly turned somewhat uneasy. He hesitated before asking, "What did you call me just now?"
