Once inside, Su Xiaowan, wide-eyed with surprise, said: "Oh, second cousin, you're back? Where have you been?"
Upon hearing this, the second cousin Song Yonghui, puffed up with mischief, replied: "Didn't do anything, just met a friend. What about you two, where have you been?"
After changing her shoes, Su Xiaowan explained: "Ah, my cousin and I went to the cooperative store to buy some stuff. We ran out of soy sauce at home. By the way, second cousin, you left home to hang out with a friend during this festive season? Was it a boy or a girl? Don't tell me you've found a possible sister-in-law for me, hehe."
Upon hearing this, Song Yonghui blushed and quickly said, "Nonsense! There is no sister-in-law. I was just chatting with a buddy, so stop with your nonsense..."
Even the oldest cousin Song Yongyi caught on to the fact that Yonghui rarely lied. However, given Yonghui's awkward response and recent strange behavior, it was hard to be certain.
