My Brother's Quitting Time

share time: 2025-12-01 06:00:58

Su Xiao was used to her brother Su Yu working overtime until midnight every day, until one evening she got a call: "Sis, I'm off work." It was the first time in three months he'd left on time. She took out the braised food she'd hidden for two weeks, but waited two hours with no sign of him. Just as she was about to call the police, there was a knock—Su Yu stood there with rain-soaked sugar-fried chestnuts, and a belated birthday cake behind him: "I remembered you didn't have a proper birthday last week. I walked three blocks to buy your favorite, and my phone died..." Turns out he'd secretly adjusted his work schedule, just to make up for the "ceremony" he owed his sister by quitting time.
