174 Contrasting Siblings
Su Su put her oven mitts on and muttered, “These are for Fifth Brother and Su Qian, some are for Big Brother, and let’s not forget Fourth Brother.” Then she went to deliver the cookie-filled doggie bags to her siblings and cousin.
When Su Su went upstairs to look for Su Qiao, she heard continuous banging sounds coming from his room, as if he was smashing something. She knocked on his door with a puzzled expression. After a long while, Su Qiao finally opened the door.
Su Su was surprised to see Su Qiao shirtless and dripping with sweat. She looked into the room and asked, “Fifth Brother, are you hitting your punching bag?”
‘Su Qiao couldn’t get up after Luo Chen punched him, but he seems to have recovered already.’
Su Qiao nodded with a determined expression, which differed from his usual rowdiness. He took the doggie bag from Su Su and patted his chest as he said indifferently, “I wasn’t injured or anything. Luo Chen just punched the air out of me. I’ll forgive him this time.”
Su Qiao looked at the other doggie bags in Su Su’s hands and asked, “What are those?”
“I made cookies!” Su Su said proudly.
When Su Qiao heard that, he unexpectedly waved his hand and returned his doggie bag to Su Su. “Forget it. I can’t eat these.”
Su Su didn’t expect Su Qiao to reject her cookies. She asked with widened eyes, “W-Why not?”
Su Qiao noticed the little girl’s saddened expression. He knew that Su Su had worked hard on the cookies, so he decided to take a cookie and have a taste. He gave the little girl a thumbs up after taking a small bite.
Then he handed the doggie bag back to Su Su and said sincerely, “Su Su, I can’t eat this. If I want to build my muscles, I can’t have cookies that are high in oil and sugar.”
Su Qiao managed to convince the little girl, so she helplessly took the bag back from him. “O-Okay, Fifth Brother.”
Seeing that Su Qiao was going to continue his training, Su Su couldn’t help but ask, “Fifth Brother, why are you working out?”
“Hmph, I want to improve my boxing skills and beat Luo Chen to a bloody pulp!” Su Qiao’s expression became fierce as he waved his fists and moved backward.
Su Su helplessly shook her head and went away. Then she felt distressed. Su Su had an extra cookie with her since Su Qiao had rejected her offer, and she couldn’t finish it herself. Su Su wondered if she could give the cookie to anyone else.
After a long while, Su Su finally thought of Su Hao. Although Su Hao and his sister had grown up together, their personalities differed significantly. Su Qian was lively, quick-witted, and generous while gaining the Su siblings’ favor.
Su Su and Su Hao barely spoke. Since Su Hao was a loner and usually distanced himself from others, they almost forgot that he existed.
Su Su felt Su Hao was lonely because of his behavior and because he was wary of the Su siblings. Su Hao was worried that the Su family would abandon him like Grandma Su and his father did.
