Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Brotherly and Sisterly Affection

Qiao Li walked out from inside, still holding two bottles of beer he had just opened, the tops releasing white cold vapors.

"Yo?" Qiao Li saw Su Lu standing at the entrance and laughed, "Xiaolu, you’ve come at just the right time."

Su Lu didn’t expect Qiao Li to be there. She simply didn’t want to stay in her own house any longer, and thought about cozying up at her brother’s place for a while. She didn’t expect Qiao Li to be there as well.

"Ah, Qiao Li. What a coincidence." Su Lu smiled, though her mood was so-so, so while the smile was on her face, her eyes weren’t really smiling.

Su Zhe raised his eyebrows and handed her some slippers, "What are you staring for? Come on in."

Sitting down on the sofa, Su Lu watched as Qiao Li brought out plate after plate of barbecued food from the kitchen.

Su Lu was a bit curious and turned to Su Zhe, "Did Qiao Li make these?"

"Don’t be silly, he just moved the skewers from the takeout boxes to the plates. Completely unnecessary," Su Zhe curled his lip, "OCD much? He has to categorize everything onto the plates, and later we’ll have even more dishes to wash."

Just then, Qiao Li came out with another plate and heard this, laughing, "How can that be called OCD? This is clearly about having a sense of ritual."

"Eating barbecue and you still talk about a sense of ritual," Su Zhe grabbed a bottle of cold beer and brought it to his lips, drinking contentedly.

Qiao Li looked at Su Lu with a smile and handed her several skewers of fragrant crispy bone, "This place has the best crispy bone skewers, Xiaolu, give it a try. I had already said we should call you over, but your brother disagreed."

"Thanks." Su Lu took them, then looked at Su Zhe, "Just over a few skewers, and you disagreed?"

Su Zhe glanced at her, "Do you think I disagreed because of the skewers? I just didn’t want you to come over and yearn for a drink."

Thinking of her current health, which probably wasn’t fit for alcohol, Su Lu bent her mouth into a slight smile, "Then you can save that worry, I won’t drink."
