My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 17: Suddenly I Understood My Best Buddy's Sister Complex

"Your brother would tell you this?" Zhou Miao asked in surprise.

In his memory, Lu Xingyu wished he could cut off his sister's chances with men.

He used to think this guy had studied in Germany and wanted to become an orthopedic surgeon.

Later, I gradually learned some things and realized that he was just particularly concerned about his younger sister, with the mentality of an old father.

No matter how outstanding a man is, as long as he gets close to his sister, he's just a nobody in his eyes.

That's why he was surprised when Lu Xingyu mentioned his good cooking skills in front of Lu Xiaoxiao.

"It wasn't that I said it on purpose, it just came up unintentionally!" Lu Xiaoxiao understood her brother's thoughts best.

He was most wary of Zhou Miao, not because of his character, but because he was handsome, had a good personality, and was also good at housework. He was the best quality blond guy around him.

The only downside is that he's not rich enough to attract gold diggers.

"I see!" Zhou Miao didn't think much of it.

However, since his sister said he was a good cook, he couldn't just throw together this bowl of noodles.

So I took out the eggs and the last small piece of pork belly from the refrigerator, then scooped out the two small squid I caught that night and cooked a bowl of squid noodle soup.

Instead of making the bed, Lu Xiaoxiao started looking for any bank cards that might be there.

First, open the drawer of the bedside table on the right; there's nothing inside.

Then we went to the left side and opened it, but there was nothing inside either.

On the computer desk, there is only a laptop, a charger, and a power bank.

The table has no drawers, so there's no need to look for them.

Zhou Miao didn't touch any of these things, as he felt they were Lu Xingyu's personal privacy.

Lu Xiaoxiao glanced around and then fixed her gaze on the wardrobe.

Upon opening it, I was surprised to find that there were drawers in the wardrobe, probably for storing socks or something.

She opened the drawer and saw a wallet and a watch box.

The watch was bought for her brother with her first paycheck after she graduated and started working.

The box was empty; clearly, Lu Xingyu had been wearing the watch the whole time.

He took out his wallet, which contained no cash, but two bank cards and his ID card.

Having successfully located the bank card, Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little relieved.

Now all she needs to do is pay back the money to Zhou Miao, which will solve one of her current worries.

stab~

The sounds from the kitchen and the aroma of frying pork instantly whetted her appetite.

So I put my wallet back and followed the aroma to the kitchen.

She first looked at the fish bucket with curiosity and was surprised to find that there were several live fish inside.

The small machine next to her was humming, and a tube placed in the fish bucket was constantly bubbling up, making her realize that this thing must be an oxygenator.

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but wonder, why did Zhou Miao stay here instead of looking for a new job when the fish raft project was stalled?

Standing by the dining table, she glanced at the man diligently cooking noodles in the kitchen, and began to understand her brother's wariness; this man was indeed very charming.

If it weren't for her family background, which subconsciously made her averse to and reject emotions and marriage, she might have developed romantic feelings for Zhou Miao by now.

It doesn't take long to cook noodles, and Zhou Miao finished quickly.

He poured the noodles into a large bowl, picked up the bowl and turned around, only to see Lu Xiaoxiao already sitting at the dining table.

Thinking she was starving and waiting to eat, Zhou Miao smiled and placed the noodles in front of her: "Eat up!"

"Wow, it smells delicious! It looks so appetizing."

Lu Xiaoxiao's expression was exaggerated, as if she was doing it on purpose for him.

But it must be said that this provided a lot of emotional value, making him feel that his bowl of noodles hadn't been cooked in vain.

Zhou Miao smiled and said, "Just leave your dishes here after you finish eating, I'll clean them up tomorrow. There are toiletries in the bathroom outside tonight, all bought by your brother before, and there are even new toothbrushes."

"I'll go back to my room now. Just call me if you need anything."

"Okay!" Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and watched him go inside before starting to eat her noodles.

The first bite made her raise an eyebrow in surprise; her brother really hadn't lied!

The taste is comparable to those time-honored noodle shops. With this skill, you could definitely make money opening a small noodle shop.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao finished eating the noodles, even drinking the soup clean.

She leaned back comfortably and contentedly in the chair, stroking her belly, which hadn't changed at all.

Eating too much late at night is bad for your stomach, but it's okay to have it once in a while.

After resting for a while, Lu Xiaoxiao got up and took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash, including the pot and spatula from which she had just cooked noodles.

After she finished, she wiped the kitchen clean with a rag, including the table.

Zhou Miao said he would clean up tomorrow, but Lu Xiaoxiao knew she couldn't be so careless.

......

The next day, Zhou Miao got up at six o'clock.

In order to catch more fish today, he deliberately changed the time half an hour earlier.

He moved quietly when he came out, afraid that any loud movements would disturb Lu Xiaoxiao who was resting.

Just as I was about to leave, the door to the second bedroom opened.

Wearing her pajamas, Lu Xiaoxiao yawned and headed towards the toilet. She had drunk too much soup last night and felt the urge to urinate early this morning.

Just as she was about to go into the restroom, she noticed a person standing at the door, carrying a fish bucket and an oxygenator.

Lu Xiaoxiao's previously drowsy mind instantly cleared: "Brother Miao, you're up so early?"

"Yes, I'm going fishing. If you're sleepy, keep sleeping. I'll be back at noon, and after lunch, I'll take you to look for a house."

Zhou Miao nodded, looking her over in her disheveled appearance.

He always felt that there was a big difference between a woman before and after makeup, especially her sloppy appearance when she first woke up in the morning, which made him feel no femininity at all.

Zhou Miao also has an older brother and an older sister; they are twins.

My older sister was born first; her name was Zhou Xin.

She always looks like a sophisticated urban woman when she goes out, but after staying home for two days...

Zhou Miao couldn't bear to look at her older sister when she recalled what she used to look like.

But Lu Xiaoxiao shattered his stereotypes. Her hair was a bit frizzy and her eyes were squinting, yet she was inexplicably cute.

My sister isn't bad-looking either, so why does she look like a man?

"Fishing?" Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened instantly, no longer squinting. "Brother Miao, you're actually a fisherman!"

"No, what's wrong with the fisherman?"

"No, no, I'm just so surprised. So you're making money fishing now?"

"Pretty much! I was originally planning to go back to work, but I've had some good luck these past few days and caught quite a few fish. So I'm just going to leave it at that for now, and wait for your brother's news. We'll talk about other things later."

"Can you take me there?" Lu Xiaoxiao thought of her brother who had gone missing while sailing out to sea.

Suddenly I feel that if fishing can make money, then becoming a fisherman might not be a bad idea.

Explore the sea more; you might just stumble upon clues about your brother.

"Do you know how to fish?" Zhou Miao asked hesitantly. "If you don't, it'll be very boring if you go with me."

"I can learn."

Seeing that he seemed reluctant to take her along, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed his hand and, suppressing her unease, pleaded with him, "Brother A-Miao, please take me with you! I'm very smart, you can teach me a little and I'll learn."

hiss~

This feeling... is a bit awkward!

But why does it feel kind of good at the same time?

Zhou Miao now understood why his best friend was a siscon; so this is what it's like to have a sister!
