Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Massage

"What’s the big deal about taking off your socks?", Song Xiaodong looked up at Song Xiaoru with surprise.

Song Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don’t need to take off my socks, can’t I do it myself?"

"You just rest well today, let your little brother take good care of you." Song Xiaodong pressed down on Song Xiaoru, and without further ado, pulled off her stockings, continuing, "Before I joined the army, I was always thoughtless, and you, my sister, worried a lot about me and suffered alongside me. Now it’s my turn to repay you."

Song Xiaoru’s gaze softened instantly as she said softly, "Silly boy, I’m your sister, it’s only right for me to take care of you."

Song Xiaodong smiled broadly and said, "Exactly, so it’s only right for me to take care of you now."

"Alright, alright, then today I’ll just enjoy myself. Speaking of which, isn’t your medical skill quite good? Have a look at your sister too."

Song Xiaodong responded and took Song Xiaoru’s pulse, saying, "Your overall health is quite good, just a bit of cold in the uterus. You probably have painful menstruation during your period."

Song Xiaodong said in surprise, "Kid, you’re pretty impressive."

"It looks like you’ve always underestimated your little brother here," he said.

"I do respect you, my little brother is really amazing. Can my problem be cured?"

"It’s actually not a big issue, but it’s quite troublesome. Before your period in the future, I’ll give you acupuncture and a massage, which should relieve much of it, but to cure it completely will still take some time."

"Oh, then you really have to treat me; this damn problem leaves me in agony every time."

"Actually, it’s also related to your lack of attention to keeping warm and often eating cold food, you should pay more attention to that as well."

Women generally don’t wear too much in the winter, and after Song Xiaoru started working, it was the same. She worked hard, which meant she didn’t eat on time, often relying on fast food and the like.

"Okay, close your eyes, I’m going to massage you now." Song Xiaodong kicked off his shoes, crawled to the head of the bed, and lifted Song Xiaoru’s head onto his lap.

Song Xiaodong’s technique was really good, and in no time, Song Xiaoru was enjoying it so much she was about to fall asleep. But when she felt Song Xiaodong’s hands move from her head to her shoulders, she felt a little tense.

However, Song Xiaoru quickly found her nervousness quite ridiculous. Even though she knew that Song Xiaodong wasn’t her biological brother, Song Xiaodong didn’t know that. How could he have any inappropriate thoughts about his own sister? So, she relaxed immediately.

Although they were siblings, Song Xiaodong still avoided some sensitive areas when massaging Song Xiaoru, and he was very dedicated, making Song Xiaoru feel incredibly comfortable in the areas he massaged.

"Dongzi, are you tired? It should be enough soon," Song Xiaoru said as she opened her eyes and looked at Song Xiaodong, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Song Xiaodong, whose hands had started to massage Song Xiaoru’s legs, said with a smile, "Not tired, how could I be tired from massaging my sister? The more I do it, the happier I get."

Song Xiaoru laughed and said, "You should save those words for your girlfriend in the future."

"A girlfriend is not as important as a sister."

"Without discussing anything else, you’ve definitely gotten better at talking, and you’ll surely have no problem charming a girlfriend in the future."

"Ha, that’s a must, a girlfriend still needs to be charmed, but a sister, that’s completely genuine. If a girlfriend doesn’t work out, you can find another, but there’s only one sister in a lifetime, she’s absolutely irreplaceable."

Song Xiaoru’s heart was filled with indescribable warmth, but also tinged with pain. What if Xiaodong found out she wasn’t his real sister someday, would they still be the same as they were now?

Song Xiaoru really didn’t dare to imagine what it would be like then. She had depended on Song Xiaodong for so many years, he’d already become an inseparable part of her life. The bond between brother and sister was deeper than anything, and she hoped it wouldn’t be destroyed.

Suddenly, voices came from the courtyard, and Song Xiaoru hurriedly said, "Stop pressing, someone is coming."

Song Xiaodong peeked out of the window and immediately frowned, saying, "It’s Third Aunt, what is she doing here."

"Then get up, let’s go out to meet them."

Pressing on Song Xiaoru’s leg, Song Xiaodong said, "No need, just lie there, I haven’t finished pressing yet."

Song Xiaoru gave Song Xiaodong a look, but she knew that Xiaodong had always disliked Third Aunt. Even if Third Aunt’s attitude had changed a lot in the hospital, it would still take some time for Xiaodong to come around.

At that moment, Third Aunt had already pushed the door and come in, with Third Uncle alongside her. Song Xiaoru struggled, trying to get out of bed, but Xiaodong kept pressing on her leg, not letting her move, which made Song Xiaoru somewhat embarrassed.

"Stay lying down, Xiaodong is giving you a massage, right? Haha, Xiaodong is really good to his sister. No worries, no worries, today’s your birthday, isn’t it? Your Third Uncle and I happened to be free, so we just came to see you. Oh, and we bought you a birthday cake."

Third Uncle placed a birthday cake on a small table at the corner of the bed.

Song Xiaoru was even more embarrassed, saying, "It’s just my birthday, Third Aunt, Third Uncle, you went out of your way to buy me a cake, I really don’t know what to say."

Third Aunt shook her head and with a guilty expression, said, "Xiaoru, Xiaodong, for Third Aunt to come at this time, I’m really inconsiderate, probably looking too opportunistic. It’s all my fault. Back then, your Third Uncle always wanted to help you, but I wouldn’t agree no matter what. Because of this, despite your Third Uncle’s good temper, he had quarreled with me several times."

Song Xiaoru immediately said, "Third Aunt, let’s not talk about the past anymore, no matter what, we are still family."

"Right, right, that’s what I think too, so I brought myself to visit your house. Dongzi, I know you resent Third Aunt, and I want to apologize to you again."

Song Xiaodong really didn’t want to deal with her, but seeing the pleading look in Song Xiaoru’s eyes, he finally turned his head to face Third Aunt and Third Uncle, saying, "Today is my sister’s birthday. How about this, let’s call Second Uncle and them over as well. Since they’ve also had a new addition to the family, let’s have a proper celebration."

Third Aunt was overjoyed and quickly said, "That’s settled, then. I’ll call Second Aunt right away. Right, let’s go buy groceries too, we should really cook up a big meal tonight." With that, she went out excitedly with Third Uncle.

"Dongzi!" Song Xiaoru took hold of Song Xiaodong’s hand.

"Forget it, as long as you’re happy, I’m not going to hold a grudge against them," Song Xiaodong clasped Song Xiaoru’s hand in return, for the first time truly letting go of his resentment towards these relatives.
