Chapter 276: Beautiful Younger Sister
Chapter 276: Beautiful Younger Sister
Xu Xiangbei wiggled his eyebrows and grinned mischievously, "No problem, I can dress up as a woman. In ancient times, Mulan disguised as a man and joined the army for her father, and now Brother Xu can dress up as a maid to take care of his wife. We can even play some role-play, right?"
Poof, Gu Xinyan was sipping delicious soup dumplings, and a mouthful of the savory soup suddenly sprayed out.
She imagined what Xu Xiangbei would look like dressed as a woman, and the image was too unsightly. She bit her bright red lips hard, wanting to laugh but was too embarrassed, her face turning entirely red.
After a while, she finally calmed down and suppressed her laughter, "Brother Xu, can you let me eat breakfast in peace? Stop grossing me out—dressing up as a woman is just insulting to us women."
Xu Xiangbei felt insulted and retorted, "Is me dressing up as a woman that disgusting?"
"Luckily you just mentioned it and didn’t actually do it. Just saying it made me too nauseous to eat breakfast."
Gu Xinyan pressed the switch on the wheelchair, which made a crisp gear-turning sound, and went back to her room to exercise.
Looking at the empty plate on the table, Xu Xiangbei shouted in protest, "Everyone says beautiful women are the best at lying, and sure enough, it’s true. You’re not nauseous—you ate all the dumplings!"
Behind the door, Gu Xinyan laughed, "Brother Xu, I’ll leave the task of finding a female assistant to you. I’m off to exercise now. Don’t disturb me unless it’s urgent, I need silence."
Xu Xiangbei received a call from Lu Daan, "Doctor Xu, we’ve arrived in Earth Sea. We’re staying at a friend’s house, it’s at 180 Cai Market Alley. When are you coming over?"
Xu Xiangbei was puzzled, "Cai Market Alley? Why is your friend living at a vegetable market—is he a vendor?"
"He’s not a vendor, his name is Lu Daquan, my cousin. He plays soccer. He doesn’t live in the vegetable market, but in 180 Cai Market Alley."
Xu Xiangbei searched for the address on his computer and realized that Earth Sea Cai Market Alley is not Earth Sea vegetable market, but an alley name.
He couldn’t help but laugh silently—his cousin is called Lu Daan, and his cousin is called Lu Daquan. The Lu Family sure prioritizes safety.
"I happen to have time now, so I’ll head over."
Xu Xiangbei arrived at Cai Market Alley, and compared to the high-rise buildings in Earth Sea City center, this place was practically a shantytown. All were four or five decades-old alleys, each house being a small wooden cabin, at most twenty-plus square meters. Small, confined space, and waking up in the night to use the toilet, a loud sound could wake the neighbors.
Following the house numbers, he found 108. He glanced at the damp dark little house and shouted, "Lu Daan, where are you?"
From the inside came the thunderous sound of running, and Lu Daan ran down from the second floor, "I’m here, Doctor Xu, you’re here, great, come in."
Xu Xiangbei lowered his head to cross the threshold, entering the house. As he moved from a bright area into the darkness, his eyes hadn’t adjusted yet, he couldn’t see what the room looked like.
Then he heard a thud as a tall person knelt in front of him, startling him.
He asked nervously, "Who’s this? Kneeling for a red envelope even though it’s not New Year’s?"
Once Xu Xiangbei’s eyes adjusted to the dimness, he clearly saw the "big guy" kneeling before him, and it further frightened him, making him step back several steps, nearly bumping into a three-legged table at the corner.
The tall "big guy" had her hair in braids, delicate features, clearly a girl, her face shyly flushed.
Her voice was rough yet resonant, "Hello, Doctor Xu."
Xu Xiangbei asked, "Who are you? How do you know me?"
Lu Daan ran over, grinning awkwardly, "This is my sister, Lu Xiaomei."
Kneeling before him was a girl as tall as himself; Xu Xiangbei felt quite uncomfortable, smiled wryly, "What kind of play is this—why are you kneeling? Get up."
He reached out both hands to support Lu Xiaomei’s arms but failed to lift her. Her arms felt heavy, yet Lu Xiaomei didn’t deliberately show any downward expression—instead, she looked stubbornly at Xu Xiangbei.
Xu Xiangbei paused, thinking this girl is really heavy. Other girls are petite and delicate, slender and nimble, but Lu Xiaomei’s frame seemed as solid and sturdy as a man’s.
Lu Xiaomei’s voice was full of energy like her brother Lu Daan’s, buzzing, "Mother said no matter what method, I have to ask Brother Xu to treat my dad. So I knelt, Brother Xu, if you don’t treat my dad, I won’t get up."
Xu Xiangbei was both amused and exasperated by her persistence, used his hands again but applied Inner Strength this time. Let’s see what you make of my Light Force, taste the power of Nameless Inner Strength from "The Ancient Surging Force."
Nameless Inner Strength surged like a tidal wave through his arms, finally lifting Lu Xiaomei up.
But once lifted, Lu Xiaomei first wore a shocked look, her square face filled with disbelief. Then, her eyes rolled, she stepped back two steps, about to kneel once more.
Xu Xiangbei helplessly said, "Lu Xiaomei, you don’t need to kneel; I will surely help your dad."
Upon hearing that Xu Xiangbei agreed to her request, Lu Xiaomei finally beamed, smiling innocently and brightly. She almost knelt, but then lightly hopped up.
Xu Xiangbei curiously asked, "Sister, do you play basketball?"
Lu Xiaomei laughed honestly, "I did join a basketball team, but argued with the coach—and punched his tooth out. So he expelled me."
Xu Xiangbei felt awkward asking about the reason for hitting the coach, but Lu Xiaomei explained herself, "I didn’t bully him. I saw him touching my teammate’s butt, got angry, and hit him. His teeth were just too fragile, fell with a punch."
Xu Xiangbei chuckled helplessly, looking at Lu Xiaomei’s fan-like hands—a punch from those hands would knock anything out except for jaws made of iron.
Despite her height, Lu Xiaomei was agile and quick, even more spirited than her brother Lu Daan.
Xu Xiangbei wiped the sweat from his forehead—this girl was strong indeed. He used half his Inner Strength just to lift her off the ground, working up a sweat.
"Where’s your dad?"
"My dad is inside. Doctor Xu, please come in."
The room was dimly lit; you could only see someone lying on the bed inside, not much else. Xu Xiangbei called, "Is there a light here? Turn it on—the room’s too dark."
Lu Daan switched on the light, "Doctor Xu, over here."
Once the light was on, Xu Xiangbei finally saw Lu Xiaomei clearly, couldn’t help but be surprised. Although her stature was large, her skeletal frame heavy, her features were cute and delicate. Her thick brows and big eyes, skin sparkling with youthful radiance, look remarkably like Gal Gadot.
Especially her smile, much like Gu Xinyan’s purity but imbued with confidence and power, more passionately spontaneous—she was indisputably a beauty.
