Chapter 2102: Chapter 1970: Just Find a Man to Adjust It

"Oh, Sister Xiaoru." Qiao Yutong politely nodded to Song Xiaoru.

"Come on in, have a seat, have a seat." Song Xiaoru ushered Qiao Yutong into the house and glanced up at Song Xiaodong.

"Sit, sit, sit! What would you like to drink?" Song Xiaoru searched in the fridge.

"Sister Xiaoru, no need, Xiaodong and I ate outside. We’re full, don’t need anything to drink." Qiao Yutong quickly said to Song Xiaoru.

"Then have some fruit, try this!" Song Xiaoru took a yellow thorny fruit from the fruit plate and handed it to Qiao Yutong.

"Be careful, it’s prickly." Song Xiaoru kindly reminded.

"What is this?" Qiao Yutong asked Song Xiaoru while holding the thorny fruit with both hands.

"This thing is called a Desert Cucumber, try it, let me cut it for you."

Song Xiaoru sliced it in half with a knife, giving one half to Song Xiaodong and the other to Qiao Yutong.

Qiao Yutong glanced at Song Xiaodong and took a tentative bite.

"How is it?" Song Xiaoru asked Qiao Yutong.

Qiao Yutong’s eyes lit up, nodded at Song Xiaoru, chewed a few more times, and said, "Delicious, it tastes like a cucumber, but it’s sweet."

"See, you say it’s delicious, Yiyi says it’s like a cucumber dipped in sugar. I say giving it all to her is a waste, if you want cucumber dipped in sugar, we have plenty at home." Song Xiaoru said.

"It’s tasty, it’s just that it looks a bit..." Qiao Yutong said halfway.

"A bit like snot." Song Xiaodong added nonchalantly from the side.

"Hahaha..." Qiao Yutong laughed a few times.

"Oh, stop it, making it sound so gross. This thing is expensive, it was Xianling who wanted to try it."

"Hey, where are Su’er, Yiyi, and Xianling?" Qiao Yutong asked Song Xiaoru.

"They’re probably asleep, I don’t know, haven’t heard anything from their rooms." Song Xiaoru replied.

"Here, try this as well." Song Xiaoru handed over another thorny fruit.

"Sister, what did you buy, why are they all so prickly?" Song Xiaodong asked Song Xiaoru.

"This is called Cactus Fruit, I bought it for Yiyi. They say it has antioxidant properties, beautifies the skin, and aids healing, perfect for Yiyi. But Yiyi won’t eat it, says it looks like blood."

"Let me cut it for you." Song Xiaoru helped Qiao Yutong cut it open; under the green rind was a blood-red flesh with black seeds.

"Sister Xiaoru, it really does look like it." Qiao Yutong said, examining the fruit in her hand.

"No way, it’s purple-red." Song Xiaoru said.

"Don’t eat it yet." Song Xiaoru stopped Qiao Yutong and said: "This thing still has thorns inside, see!"

Song Xiaoru picked a triangular thorn from the cut cactus fruit.

"The seller kept emphasizing that there are thorns inside." Song Xiaoru replied.

"Try it."

Qiao Yutong tasted it; it was tart, sweet, and smooth, indeed delicious.

"Hmm, it really is quite tasty." Qiao Yutong nodded.

"See, Yiyi is just picky, won’t eat even the good stuff."

"Try this one!" Song Xiaoru was about to hand something else to Qiao Yutong.

"Sister, Qiao Yutong and I have already eaten." Song Xiaodong reminded.

"Isn’t it just right to have some fruit after a meal?" Song Xiaoru replied.

"Sister Xiaoru, I really can’t eat anymore. Eating too much at night will make my stomach gain weight again." Qiao Yutong said.

"On the contrary, where’s the meat on your stomach!" Song Xiaoru looked at Qiao Yutong and said.

"There is, it’s just that my belt is tight..." Qiao Yutong looked down at her stomach.

"It’s okay to eat a little fruit."

"Sister Xiaoru, stop tempting me..."

"You should stop taking Director Qiao out for big meals constantly, what if Director Qiao gets fat?" Song Xiaoru criticized Song Xiaodong.

"Sister, you can’t blame me for that." Song Xiaodong took a breath, raising his eyebrows at Song Xiaoru.

"You always have an excuse." Song Xiaoru said.

"Exactly, Sister, Director Qiao really has a big appetite!" Song Xiaodong said.

"Nonsense!" Qiao Yutong immediately got annoyed, reaching out to hit Song Xiaodong’s shoulder, but remembering Song Xiaoru was still there, she quickly withdrew her hand, sneaking a glance at Song Xiaoru.

Song Xiaoru pretended not to see, and said to Song Xiaodong: "It’s a good thing that girls can eat. Girls who eat a lot usually aren’t overweight; it’s those who don’t move much, even gain weight from drinking water."

"Mm." Song Xiaodong nodded.

"Xiaodong, have you been drinking again?" Song Xiaoru asked Song Xiaodong.

"Mm." Song Xiaodong nodded again.

"And Director Qiao drove you back?" Song Xiaoru asked again.

"Mm..." Song Xiaodong lowered his head.

Slanting her eyes, Song Xiaoru looked at Song Xiaodong and said, "Don’t you have any shame, making a deputy director drive you every day?"

"Sister, it’s alright, we’re good friends." Qiao Yutong quickly said to Song Xiaoru.

"I know you and Xiaodong are close, so you shouldn’t indulge him. Next time he drinks, let him figure it out himself. If he wants you to drive, ask him for something in return! Who works for free without benefits?" Song Xiaoru said to Qiao Yutong.

"You hear that, Sister Xiaoru said it. Next time you want me to drive, you have to give me something in return." Qiao Yutong turned to Song Xiaodong.

"Yes, yes, yes, sure, sure!" Song Xiaodong nodded in agreement.

"Sister Xiaoru, actually, I do have something I’d like to ask Xiaodong for help with." Qiao Yutong’s voice got softer and softer.

"What’s the matter? It’s okay, just tell me, my word carries weight, he won’t dare not listen." Song Xiaoru glanced at Song Xiaodong.

"I... want Xiaodong to see a doctor for me." Qiao Yutong said.

"See a doctor? What’s wrong with you?" Song Xiaoru immediately asked in surprise.

"It’s not a big issue, it’s just..." Qiao Yutong said halfway and couldn’t continue.
