Chapter 550: 551 Deceive Yourself

Song Xiaodong bought some sea cucumbers and abalones for Zhong Chuling. He had them delivered by courier and then went straight home. He hadn’t been home in the last few weekends, so getting back early today also gave him a chance to spend time with his family.

Today, Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru didn’t have much to do and weren’t as busy with work as usual. Everyone went out together, bought some household items, and then watched TV at home. It was indeed relaxing and enjoyable.

Song Xiaodong really loved this kind of life; he knew he had to strive to maintain it, which meant he had to work hard to improve himself.

Around nine, Miao Qingqing said, "Dongzi, don’t forget to give Sister Xiaoru a massage."

"That won’t be necessary, I’m fine," Song Xiaoru immediately objected.

Miao Qingqing quickly responded, "Sister Xiaoru, don’t be vague about it. Your health is what’s most important now."

Miao Xuanxuan also chimed in right away, "Exactly, Sister Xiaoru, go ahead. What’s there to be embarrassed about? Dongzi is your brother, not some stranger."

Xiao Yingying nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The last time they talked about the massage, the expressions of the three had been somewhat odd, which embarrassed Song Xiaoru. The three felt very remorseful afterward, so this time they were quick to express their stance and continued urging her.

At this moment, Song Xiaoru still felt a bit awkward inside. This was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, but she couldn’t show her feelings in front of everyone and could only say, "Okay, okay, you all are making a big deal out of nothing."

"I’m going to sleep now too," said Miao Xuanxuan as she followed the others upstairs. Of course, she didn’t have any particular thoughts; she just casually went up with them.

Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru entered the room, and Song Xiaodong locked the door behind them.

Song Xiaoru opened her mouth feeling uneasy about the locked door, but it would be more embarrassing if someone barged in, so she didn’t say anything.

"I’m going to wash up," Song Xiaoru said, then slipped into the bathroom.

Song Xiaodong lay down on the bed and chatted with Lin Su’er; they saw each other during the weekdays, so they hadn’t spent the weekend together.

Before long, Song Xiaoru came out, now dressed in pajamas and her face flushed from the warm bath.

"Sis, you look beautiful today!" Song Xiaodong put down his phone and couldn’t help but compliment her.

"Stop it! Don’t start buttering up your sister," Song Xiaoru rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong, then climbed into the bed.

Song Xiaodong sat up and said, "Well then, let’s start."

"Let’s start..." Song Xiaoru nodded and then took off her pajamas, once again avoiding Song Xiaodong’s gaze as she did before.

Song Xiaodong didn’t think too much and began massaging Song Xiaoru, saying, "It seems my massage is quite effective; it’s a bit smaller than last time. A few more sessions and it should be better."

"That’s good," Song Xiaoru whispered, then went quiet.

After a while, though, Song Xiaoru began to feel uncomfortable again. Unlike the last time, Song Xiaodong didn’t hesitate and quickly placed his hands just below Song Xiaoru’s abdomen.

"Dongzi, you..." Song Xiaoru wasn’t yet in a state where she couldn’t control herself, but Song Xiaodong’s actions immediately made her tense up.

"I’m helping you..." Song Xiaodong also realized he might have acted a bit prematurely and couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed.

"You jerk, who said I needed your help?" Song Xiaoru didn’t pull away Song Xiaodong’s hand but instead pulled up the blanket to her waist. At least this way, Song Xiaodong’s hand wouldn’t be exposed, and she felt a bit better about it.

Seeing that Song Xiaoru didn’t reject him, Song Xiaodong, who was about to withdraw his hand, left it there.

With the experience from last time, Song Xiaoru didn’t particularly restrain her emotions this time, especially with Song Xiaodong’s hand, which always applied just the right amount of pressure, stimulating her nerves repeatedly, making it easier for her to reach that soaring feeling.

However, Song Xiaoru kept biting the pillow because she didn’t want to make any noise, which would be too embarrassing.

"Okay, let go now," Song Xiaoru tugged at Song Xiaodong’s arm.

Song Xiaodong quickly withdrew his hand, asking, "How about another round?"

"Get lost, no way," Song Xiaoru hit Song Xiaodong lightly, her face flushed, but her voice carried a hint of coquettishness, not quite scolding, but rather whining.

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Sis, you look the prettiest right now."

"Not at all... You jerk, you’re teasing me again," Song Xiaoru hit Song Xiaodong again.

Song Xiaodong said, "I’m serious. Women secrete a lot of estrogen in moments like these, and estrogen is the best thing to enhance a woman’s beauty. It’s a law of nature, inherent in both animals and humans."

"That’s why a woman looks prettier when she’s in love," he added.

"Humph, I want to be in love too. Can you even allow that?" Song Xiaoru glared at Song Xiaodong.

"That... it’s not that I forbid it, but you’ve got to find the right one," Song Xiaodong laughed awkwardly.

"Enough with that, you severe sister complex case. Stop giving me these hypocritical talks here."

"Sis! How about I help you like this..." Song Xiaodong blurted out before he even realized it.

"You..." Song Xiaoru was momentarily stunned, then her face turned completely red as she scolded, "You rascal, simply... you’re just a little scoundrel. Right now, you’re supposed to be treating me, not treating me, you absolutely mustn’t do this to me, not allowed at all."

Song Xiaodong shrank his neck and said, "Yes, yes, Sis, I was just saying it. Don’t mind me."

"Humph, if you dare talk nonsense with me again, see how I deal with you, just go back to sleep," Song Xiaoru pushed Song Xiaodong off the bed.

"Good night!" Song Xiaodong kissed her on the face, but seeing her beautiful face and those irresistibly inviting red lips, he couldn’t help but tilt his head and kissed her on the lips.

"Mmm..." Song Xiaoru’s eyes widened suddenly, but she just stared at Song Xiaodong and didn’t push him away.

Encouraged by this, Song Xiaodong leaned down and was soon pressing on top of Song Xiaoru, passionately kissing her lips.

For about half a minute, Song Xiaoru let Song Xiaodong have his way, and then she pushed him forcefully, scolding, "Didn’t you finish treating me today? Why are you still treating me?"

"Ah... this... it still needs to be consolidated a bit."

"Is it good now?" Song Xiaoru turned her head away, refusing to meet Song Xiaodong’s eyes.

"It... it’s good now," Song Xiaodong said, and then slipped out of Song Xiaoru’s room, knowing that they both had gotten carried away, but neither one pointed it out, and he had to use such a flimsy excuse to fool himself.
