Chapter 582: Chapter 583: Sisters Remain Sisters, Brothers Remain Brothers

Song Xiaodong wanted to say something more, but Song Xiaoru had already pulled him up by the ear and said, "Get out, go out now."

"Sister, what I said is true. Since the day you jumped off the building and told me that only I can touch you, I made up my mind. In this lifetime, I’m your man."

"I thought I was going to die, that’s why I said that. Now I’m alive and well, I wouldn’t be that foolish. Get lost, go be with your women."

Suddenly, Song Xiaodong reached out, took Song Xiaoru into his arms, and then, lowering his head, kissed her lips.

"Mmm..." Song Xiaoru’s eyes widened with a hint of panic as she looked at Song Xiaodong.

But Song Xiaodong didn’t care at all, holding Song Xiaoru tightly, kissing her with force.

Song Xiaoru struggled a bit, but she couldn’t break free. The hand that was pinching Song Xiaodong’s ear slowly let go and landed on his shoulder, and then she wrapped her arms around Song Xiaodong’s neck.

Their kiss lasted a full five or six minutes before Song Xiaodong finally released Song Xiaoru.

Song Xiaoru’s face was flushed, her eyes watery. This kiss was their second one, the first time both were drowsy in the morning, but now, they were both fully awake, a completely different feeling from last time.

Looking down, Song Xiaodong met Song Xiaoru’s gaze and said, "Sister, no matter what you think, I won’t let go."

Song Xiaoru softly punched Song Xiaodong with her little fist and said, "Do I owe you from my past life?"

Song Xiaodong shook his head, "No! It’s me who owes you in my past and this life, so I need to spend my life cherishing you, protecting you, and not letting you get hurt even a little bit."

Song Xiaoru’s body shivered, her eyes filled with tender affection, and then she buried her head in Song Xiaodong’s chest, not saying a word for a long time.

They held each other in silence for a while, and then Song Xiaoru lifted her head to meet Song Xiaodong’s gaze, and spoke softly, "Dongzi, we can’t keep doing this. I won’t be able to face Qingqing and the others."

"Then let’s leave, go to a new place, start a brand-new life."

Song Xiaoru glared at him and said, "Nonsense, you’re abandoning them after starting this. They like you so much, and yet you’re ready to leave just like that. What do you think they are to you?"

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched. Those words hit home; he was not an unfeeling, disloyal person, capable of cutting ties. It was just that for Xiaoru, it seemed he had no other choice.

"Dongzi... Sister understands how you feel. Anyway, I’m not going to get married. Aren’t we doing just fine now? I live with you, and you can take care of me."

Song Xiaodong said, "But I want to take care of you like your man, not your brother."

"You are already taking care of me like a man. Do you have to sleep with me to consider yourself a man? Are you content only when you have my body?"

"Of course not," Song Xiaodong immediately shook his head.

"Then that’s settled. In your heart, you can think of me as your woman, and I can think of you as my man, but on the outside, you’re still my brother, and I’m still your sister. You should continue being with Qingqing and the others. This way, everything is peaceful, isn’t it the best of both worlds?"

Song Xiaodong hesitated and said, "But..."

Song Xiaoru immediately cut off Song Xiaodong’s words, saying, "There’s nothing to ’but’ about, it’s settled, Dongzi. This is the biggest concession your sister can make, so please don’t pressure me anymore, okay?"

Her pleading tone instantly cooled Song Xiaodong’s temper, and he said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Only then did Song Xiaoru smile sweetly, leaned in and kissed Song Xiaodong, saying, "That’s my good boy."

Song Xiaodong immediately tried to catch the red lips Song Xiaoru offered, but she dodged away, saying, "I’m warning you, without my permission, you are not allowed to fool around with me."

"That counts as fooling around?"

"Of course, it does," Song Xiaoru glared at Song Xiaodong, then said softly, "Alright now, I’m fine. You don’t have to keep me company here. This past week, you’ve been with me in the hospital every day. Go spend some time with Qingqing and the others tonight."

Song Xiaodong stood there without moving, so Song Xiaoru pushed him lightly and said, "Go on, they are your women, they are the ones you can do whatever you want with, you brat."

Song Xiaodong awkwardly grinned, and Song Xiaoru added, "Relax, your sister will always support you. I won’t get angry or jealous, so you should feel at ease now, right?"

"Re... rested," Song Xiaodong said, even more awkwardly.

Song Xiaoru kissed Song Xiaodong again, saying, "Then go on, don’t keep them waiting."

Song Xiaodong felt somewhat discontent but could only leave for the moment. In fact, he knew that what Song Xiaoru was doing was the best solution. He had never considered having any other kind of relationship with Song Xiaoru before, but the words she said before she lapsed into unconsciousness had affected him too deeply, and he couldn’t suppress these thoughts any longer.

But he knew that if Miao Qingqing and the others found out about his feelings, it would be outrageous. Moreover, if he really gave up Miao Qingqing and the others for his sister, Song Xiaoru would probably feel immense guilt, and it was likely that not only would she never be with him, but she might also leave him entirely.

He knew Song Xiaoru too well, so whatever she would do, he understood clearly. Thus, as he went downstairs, he adjusted his mindset. Maintaining the original relationship was still necessary; his sister remained his sister, he stayed her brother, Miao Qingqing was still his girlfriend, and Xiao Yingying was still his lover.

Just as he reached the stair corner, Song Xiaodong ran into Miao Xuanxuan, who asked with concern, "Sister Xiaoru is okay, right?"

"She’s fine."

"Then I’ll go chat with Sister Xiaoru, you go be with your girlfriend and your little lover," Miao Xuanxuan said with a light laugh, brushing past Song Xiaodong and surreptitiously touching him.

Song Xiaodong’s mood suddenly brightened. How could he let go of such a Miao Xuanxuan? What Song Xiaoru had said made even more sense now.

He patted Miao Xuanxuan’s butt, and she exclaimed in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth, whispering,"Are you crazy? My sisters are downstairs."

"Xuanxuan, be careful, don’t fall," Song Xiaodong said loudly and then stealthily touched her a couple more times.

Miao Xuanxuan gave a snort of laughter, enjoying Song Xiaodong’s caress. She squinted her eyes and said, "Dongzi, I’ve realized you’ve become as naughty as you used to be."

"Do you like it?"

"Like it! I like it so much!" Miao Xuanxuan kissed Song Xiaodong on the forehead and giggled as she ran upstairs.
