290: Chapter 0291: Hiding in the Closet 290: Chapter 0291: Hiding in the Closet Zhao Rubing had wanted Ye Qiu to co and go quietly, but unexpectedly, her sister had returned early, which imdiately made her worried.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to leave, Zhao Rubing quickly said, “Hurry, hide in the room for now.”
Hide?
Why should he hide?
Ye Qiu felt he hadn’t done anything wrong.
While Ye Qiu was reluctant to hide, Zhao Rubing pushed him into the guest room and then shut the door.
After finishing her shift at the police station, Zhao Ruxue was tired and weary and decided to head ho.
She thought her sister was not ho and was surprised to see Rubing sitting there watching TV, though the program was not interesting.
“Ruibing, you didn’t go out?”
Zhao Ruxue asked.
As she was changing into her slippers, she noticed an old pair of counterfeit Adidas that she had only seen Ye Qiu wear a few tis, but she recognized them instantly.
Zhao Ruxue was puzzled, How co Ye Qiu’s sneakers are here?
Moreover, a pair of slippers was missing.
“Why go out when the bar is closed?”
Zhao Rubing said.
Zhao Ruxue looked at her sister and chuckled inwardly, guessing that Ye Qiu must have been here and was still around.
But why did her sister make Ye Qiu hide?
Could the two of them have so unspeakable secrets?
“Is it just you here?”
“Sister, isn’t it just you here with ?”
Zhao Rubing said.
Not admitting it, Zhao Ruxue did not ask further, but her curiosity grew.
What exactly was Ye Qiu doing here, and why wouldn’t her sister let her know?
Zhao Ruxue headed to the kitchen to make a late-night snack, a habit of hers.
After a night shift, she would feel very empty, unable to sleep without sothing to eat.
As Zhao Ruxue was about to prepare so noodles for two bowls in the kitchen, if Ye Qiu dared to co out, making three bowls wouldn’t be a problem.
Moreover, she hadn’t seen Ye Qiu for a while and wanted to see him.
While Zhao Ruxue was preparing the noodles in the kitchen, her heart thudded nervously, eager for Ye Qiu hidden in her room to co out.
But she was afraid that if Ye Qiu ca out just as her sister saw him.
“Ruibing, are two bowls of noodles enough?”
“Enough,”
Zhao Rubing said.
If two bowls weren’t enough, would three be necessary?
Zhao Rubing stood up, glancing occasionally towards the kitchen, wanting to see if her sister had closed the kitchen door only to find her sister had left it even wider open.
Now, in the height of Great Xia sumr, even with the air conditioning on and the exhaust fan running, the kitchen was still very hot.
Zhao Ruxue quickly cooked two bowls of egg noodles and brought them out, calling her sister to eat.
Rubing seed sowhat distracted throughout.
Ye Qiu, hiding in that room, still found it strange.
What exactly was Rubing afraid of?
He wanted to co out, but doing so now might lead to a misunderstanding with Zhao Ruxue.
If he had greeted her earlier in the living room, there certainly would have been no issue.
However, as Ye Qiu saw it now, suddenly leaving would make it difficult to explain things clearly to Zhao Ruxue later.
While blowing on the steaming bowl, Zhao Ruxue asked, “Have there been any updates about that security guard who died at your bar?”
“Not yet, the police are still searching for the suspect.”
Zhao Rubing said.
After Zhao Ruxue finished her bowl of noodles, sweating from the heat, Zhao Rubing suggested, “Sister, you should go take a shower first.”
“You go ahead, I’ll shower later.
There’s a really good cop show on tonight, and I want to finish watching it before I bathe.”
Zhao Rubing was still thinking of having her sister go to the bathroom to shower so Ye Qiu could leave imdiately.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruxue wanted to watch the TV show first, and usually, when she got off work at this ti, if she had ti, she indeed watched those cop shows.
“Sister, then I’ll go shower first.”
Zhao Rubing headed to her guest room, and upon pushing the door open and seeing Ye Qiu sitting on the bed, she quickly closed the door.
“Why are you having hide?”
Ye Qiu asked softly.
“I’m worried my sister might misunderstand.
You can leave when she’s showering.”
Zhao Rubing also spoke in a hushed tone.
However, Zhao Rubing did not know that Zhao Ruxue had just co in, seen Ye Qiu’s shoes, and the empty Coke bottle on the table, and guessed that Ye Qiu must have co and had not yet left.
As a detective working on cases, Zhao Ruxue naturally differed from ordinary people in this respect.
When Ye Qiu was about to say sothing, Zhao Rubing opened her wardrobe and took out her private clothing, including underwear and panties.
Ye Qiu saw this imdiately.
Zhao Rubing did not seem to mind since her body had been touched by Ye Qiu several tis and having Ye Qiu look at those clothes was no big deal to her.
“I’m going to shower now, don’t go out.
If my sister cos knocking later, hide in the closet.”
As Zhao Rubing whispered, Zhao Ruxue’s voice ca from outside the door, asking, “Rubing, what are you doing in there?”
“Sister, I’m looking for clothes.”
Zhao Rubing quickly pushed Ye Qiu into the closet.
As Ye Qiu stepped inside, he saw the colorful array of private clothing and a variety of skirts, clearly all belonging to Zhao Rubing, along with that distinct fragrance of hers.
However, he felt uncomfortable and uneasy now, as he did not want to hide in such a cramped space.
Zhao Ruxue opened the door and stepped inside, barely concealing her amusent as she saw her sister closing the wardrobe, knowing that Ye Qiu was hiding there.
But why was Ye Qiu hiding in the wardrobe?
Could there indeed be unspeakable secrets between them?
“Sister, I’m going to take a shower now.”
“Then go ahead.”
Zhao Ruxue wouldn’t open the wardrobe, as doing so would make all three of them awkward, and besides, Zhao Rubing kept wanting Ye Qiu to stay hidden.
If she revealed it now, wouldn’t it be very awkward?
Zhao Ruxue just wanted to tease them a bit to see what they were up to.
Zhao Ruxue leaned against the doorway, stood there for a while, and then went out to the living room to watch TV.
Zhao Rubing breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Qiu inside the closet breathed a sigh of relief as well.
Because if he ca out of the closet later to face Zhao Ruxue, it really would be like trying to wash away sin in the Yellow River—impossible.
When Zhao Rubing saw her sister had indeed not seen her room, she felt relieved, but while showering, she felt a heat throughout her body, almost like the thrill of an affair.
But she and Ye Qiu weren’t even in that kind of relationship; how could it be an affair?
After she finished showering and saw her sister still seated on the sofa watching TV, Zhao Rubing asked, “Sister, after working hard all day, aren’t you going to shower and rest earlier?”
