Chapter 502: Chapter 503 Forget About This Incident

Song Xiaodong knew that Song Xiaoru wanted to avoid facing him now, but it seemed like a good method indeed. Even if he could make a sound argument to Song Xiaoru now, deep down, he still felt somewhat daunted by the prospect of facing her.

After Song Xiaoru went out, Song Xiaodong lay on the bed without moving. His mind replayed everything that had just happened, trying to sort out a clear thread of thought.

The situation didn’t seem complicated. The two of them had nearly gotten involved in an intimate act in their daze. It didn’t seem fair to blame either party; it was just that under those special circumstances, both stimulated the desires lurking within, and then that thing happened.

Furthermore, fortunately, at the very last moment, the line had not been crossed which was a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, Song Xiaodong really wouldn’t know how to face Song Xiaoru. Most importantly, at that time, Song Xiaoru would have likely been in great pain.

So, having reached this point, both of them should feel just awkward. Given some time, everyone would forget and there probably wouldn’t be any issues. It was like the first time Song Xiaodong touched Song Xiaoru’s chest, the first time he saw her body. At that time, it was very awkward, but after a few days, they both returned to normal.

However, thinking about these things, Song Xiaodong shamefully realized that he was reacting. He raised his hand and slapped himself.

Even if Song Xiaoru wasn’t his biological sister, in his heart, she was dearer to him than a real sister. He respected her, loved her, but how could he entertain such thoughts? That was nothing short of blasphemy, utterly unforgivable.

Over an hour later, Song Xiaodong went downstairs, only to see Song Xiaoru in the kitchen. She was holding a kitchen knife in one hand and a sausage in the other, but the knife was still poised above the sausage, and she had not cut it yet. She was staring blankly ahead, lost in thought.

"Sis!" Song Xiaodong came up behind Song Xiaoru and called out softly.

"Ah!" Song Xiaoru jerked as if shocked by electricity, her body trembling violently, and the knife flew out of her hand.

Song Xiaodong quickly reached out and caught the knife, saying, "Sis, be careful."

Song Xiaoru steadied herself and turned to glare at Song Xiaodong, saying, "Why do you creep up like a ghost, suddenly appearing behind me? Don’t you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

Song Xiaodong hastily replied, "Yes, yes, I should have made some noise. I shouldn’t have scared you, sister."

Seeing Song Xiaodong’s cautious demeanor, Song Xiaoru felt a twinge of guilt. She had been completely distracted, so she hadn’t noticed Song Xiaodong behind her. How could she blame him?

Sighing softly, Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Dongzi, it’s my mind that’s in a mess, which is why I lost my temper with you."

Song Xiaodong cracked a smile and said, "No problem at all. I’m your punching bag. Whenever you’re upset, just vent on me, scold me, and I’ll always cheer you up."

Song Xiaoru took the kitchen knife from Song Xiaodong’s hand, bit her lip, and said, "Dongzi, you mustn’t tell anyone about this, ever. If Qingqing and the others find out, I would be utterly mortified."

"Sis, how could I tell anyone about this? This is a secret between the two of us; there absolutely won’t be a third person who knows about it."

Song Xiaoru nodded, then immediately shook her head, saying, "The way you phrase it sounds so awkward. You should just forget about this entirely, and such an incident must never happen again. And you must absolutely never sleep in my bed again."

"Ah..." Song Xiaodong’s face suddenly contorted with distress.

"What do you mean ’ah’?" Song Xiaoru glared at Song Xiaodong again before speaking gently, "Dongzi, we’re both adults now. We can’t be as carefree as we were when we were children. We need to be mindful of certain things. Let’s say, just hypothetically, if something like what just happened actually occurred, how would we continue to interact in the future?"

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched. The thought of such a thing terrified him; it would utterly ruin the relationship between him and his sister. He hurriedly promised, "I assure you it will never happen again. I just had too much faith in my self-control. From now on, I’ll be vigilant in my thoughts, and with this kind of mental alert, such an incident won’t happen again."

"That’s not enough. No one can guarantee such things. I don’t even trust myself now," Song Xiaoru said with a bitter smile.

Song Xiaodong wanted to say more, but Song Xiaoru already glared at him and said, "My word is final. Are you disobeying me?"

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen," Song Xiaodong quickly agreed, although he felt a bit sad. Sleeping next to Song Xiaoru occasionally brought him a special sense of warmth, a feeling he couldn’t find with any other woman.

"Then hurry up and get out. Aren’t you supposed to go out with Su’er? Stop dawdling here; go and freshen up."

Chased out by Song Xiaoru, Song Xiaodong knew today wasn’t the right time to discuss this matter further. Perhaps a trip out today would let both of them reflect calmly. When they returned, the situation wouldn’t be as awkward.

After a simple breakfast, Song Xiaodong got in his car and left.

Lin Su’er had already dressed up, and as soon as Song Xiaodong arrived downstairs at her place, she hurried out.

"Su’er, you look very pretty today," Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but compliment Lin Su’er. The young girl was already beautiful, and with makeup, she looked even more attractive. Along with her fitting fashion, she exuded an added sense of style and vitality.

"Really? I thought you might not like it," Lin Su’er immediately squinted and smiled.

Song Xiaodong laughed, "Of course I like it. Seeing you this beautiful, I can’t help but want to kiss you."

Lin Su’er blushed and hurriedly said, "Ah, that won’t do, today isn’t the day to mess up my makeup, right? We’re going to meet some important person, so don’t ruin it."

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Alright, I’ll give you a proper kiss tonight."

Lin Su’er’s face turned even redder, but she nodded gently, "Mmm."

This trip to the Provincial City to treat the elderly man was sure to be no easy task, so Song Xiaodong didn’t drive there but chose to take the high-speed train instead.

After they picked up their tickets at the station, they entered the waiting room. With more than twenty minutes to spare, they found seats to wait for the ticket check.

Three people, two men and one woman, sat opposite them. One of the men and the woman seemed to be a couple, while the other man looked quite imposing with his expensive clothes and belongings. The girl glanced at Lin Su’er twice and tentatively asked, "Are you Lin Su’er?"
