Chapter 550: Chapter 550 Round and Round
"Big brother, it’s time for you to think about getting married. I’m the youngest in the family and even I’m married now. If you don’t bring a sister-in-law home soon, our parents will start worrying from down below." Bai Xiao teased Bai Song.
Indeed, Bai Song was now the only bachelor left in the family.
Li Chunhua nodded as well, "Song, you really should get married."
If her eldest grandson didn’t get married soon, she wouldn’t be able to rest easy.
With an awkward smile, Bai Song said, "I’m not in a hurry."
Whenever faced with this issue, this big, strong man became all hesitant and squirmy.
"How can you not be in a hurry? You’re not young anymore, and you’re still not worried?" Li Chunhua was truly anxious.
"Yeah! Big brother, if you don’t get married soon, you’ll become an old bachelor. Then people might start wondering if there’s something wrong with you." Bai Xiao blurted out without a filter.
Bai Song felt embarrassed, being rushed to marriage by his little sister was probably the most awkward thing for him in history.
"I don’t have such plans right now, it’s not possible yet!"
"Why?"
Everyone’s question.
An Zhiyuan’s heart suddenly stirred, "Could it be, big brother, you’ve also been dispatched to..."
By this time, Bai Xiao had already realized what was happening.
"What? Big brother, how could you also have been dispatched to..."
She couldn’t finish her sentence, afraid it would terrify her elder sisters.
"Is someone pulling strings behind your back? If that’s the case, I’ll talk to your superiors. At the very least, I have some connection with Chief Li. We can’t let others bully and harm us like this." Bai Xiao immediately thought of a conspiracy, having been a victim herself in the past. Now it seemed they wouldn’t even leave her big brother alone.
She had visited the front lines and knew the dangers there. It wasn’t right for an entire family to sacrifice for their country.
This was outright bullying.
"No! No, Bai Xiao, don’t be rash, I applied for it voluntarily. I was worried about you, a girl being there alone, so I thought I’d request a transfer to be close and look after you." Bai Song chuckled, worried his sister would impulsively take her concerns to the Chief and inadvertently escalate the misunderstanding.
"Big brother, what am I supposed to say about you?" Bai Xiao was frustrated but felt a warmth in her heart.
This brother of hers always acted for her sake. In their past lives, her big brother was transferred to support border operations against criminal organizations because of her, and he made the ultimate sacrifice. This time, he was supposed to have been safe and not have any more ties to that dangerous place.
Damn it, this was just messed up.
By some terrible twist of fate, both siblings ended up going to that place. She felt like cursing the heavens; this was surely going to be the end of her big brother!
It seemed as though she had changed her path only to end up right back where she started, a truly depressing outcome. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Seeing the unhappiness on Bai Xiao’s face, Bai Song comforted her, "Xiao, big brother wants to go there to tough it out a bit. How can a man grow if he doesn’t face challenges?"
Bai Yue, noticing something was off between the siblings, asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Bai Song, looking nervously at Bai Xiao, said, "Nothing’s wrong. The place I’m going to is quite tough, with harsh conditions. Bai Xiao is just worried about me." Glancing at his sister with pleading eyes, his gaze begged her to keep silent, fearing that any slip might set off an even greater uproar among their elder sisters.
"Xiao, if you can endure hardship, what can’t your big brother endure? It’s good that he’s going; it saves us the worry about you suffering alone. Now that your brother is going, we can rest easy. It’s great that the two of you can look after each other. You don’t know how blessed you are." Bai Yue praised Bai Song, unaware of the full situation.
Just as Bai Xiao was about to speak, Bai Song quickly, and with a flattering gesture, filled her cup with Jianlibao.
