Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Kiss Every Day
"Sister! I was wrong, I just rushed in because I heard something off in your voice. I wouldnât dare to peek at you, how bold would that be? Besides, weâve grown up together, we even bathed together as kids, and weâre siblings, so whatâs the big deal?" Song Xiaodong hung his head, holding Song Xiaoruâs wrists and pleading repeatedly since his ear was being twisted by her.
"Hmph, thatâs still not okay. Weâre adults now; what kind of behavior is this?"
With a woeful expression, Song Xiaodong said, "It was an accident, I didnât do it on purpose. Sister, please let me go."
In fact, Song Xiaoru wasnât even twisting hard; Song Xiaodong wasnât in pain at all. It was always like this between them; they had both grown accustomed to this kind of interaction.
"Next time, I wonât hesitate to twist your ear off," Song Xiaoru spoke with a âferociousâ tone, but her kind of fierce somehow always seemed so gentle, making it impossible for anyone to actually feel scared.
Song Xiaodong finally stood up straight, saying, "Sister, let me take another look."
"You want to look again? Have you lost your mind?" Song Xiaoru kicked at Song Xiaodong with her foot.
Song Xiaodong stretched out his hand and caught Song Xiaoruâs small foot, grinning as he said, "Iâm looking at the wound on your leg, not anything else. Sister, your thoughts have gotten a bit dirty."
Song Xiaoru, teased by Song Xiaodong, turned red and struggled with her foot, scolding, "You dare to make fun of me? Do you not want to get better?"
"I wouldnât dare!" Song Xiaodong chuckled and sat down on the bed edge, lifting Song Xiaoruâs leg onto his own and examining the wound on her leg carefully.
Seeing Song Xiaodong become so focused all of a sudden, Song Xiaoru watched him in a daze. Earlier, when she had been in the room rubbing her body, she had heard the words Song Xiaodong said outside and had unwittingly spaced out. Song Xiaodong noticed something was off and ran in. Now, looking at Song Xiaodong, Song Xiaoru spaced out once more.
"Itâs fine! Itâs nothing serious. Oh right, sister, let me give you a good foot massage. You must be tired from wearing high heels while shopping with me today, and wearing high heels can easily deform a womanâs toes, or even cause some pathological changes."
Snapping back to reality, Song Xiaoru said, "Ah... Iâm definitely tired, but itâs not as bad as you make it sound, right?"
"Itâs true. Iâve been thinking about giving you a foot massage every day recently, but I never got around to it. So, starting today, Iâll massage your feet. I canât bear to see my sisterâs beautiful little feet get deformed; that would be a crime against heaven," he said while already massaging Song Xiaoruâs feet. She felt a bit of pain and instinctively drew back her leg, saying, "Be gentle."
Song Xiaodong immediately lightened his touch, "Okay, okay, how about this strength?"
"A bit lighter."
"And now?"
"Thatâs about right," Song Xiaoru laughed softly, saying, "Am I too difficult to take care of as your sister?"
Song Xiaodong grinned showing his white teeth, replying, "No way. If it were someone else, Iâd tell her to bear with it, but when my sister says it hurts, I just canât bring myself to let her."
"You, youâre getting slicker with your words."
"Iâm the most sincere in front of you, sister. Even if I deceived the whole world, I would never deceive you. Sister, your feet are really pretty, I never noticed before. Now that Iâve seen them, I realize your feet are definitely the most beautiful among all the women Iâve seen."
"Really? Whatâs so good or bad about feet?" Song Xiaoru asked in surprise.
"Thatâs because you have a beautiful pair of feet, so you donât care. Some women have too large feet, which are unattractive by themselves, while others have too small feet. Although they may look delicate, they donât express beauty well. My feet are absolutely the perfect size," Song Xiaodong teased as he demonstrated grasping her foot, "just the right size to fit in my hand. Besides, the skin on your feet is delicate, your toes are rounded, and each toenail is exceptionally well-shaped. If someone with a foot fetish saw this, theyâd consider it the ultimate treasure."
"Youâre exaggerating," Song Xiaoru said, feeling embarrassed by Song Xiaodongâs compliments. She quickly kicked him and added, "Are you implying... that youâve seen a lot of womenâs feet?"
Song Xiaodong coughed awkwardly, "Well... I have seen quite a few, considering Iâm a doctor."
"Is it because you treat patients... or for other reasons?" Song Xiaoru stared into Song Xiaodongâs eyes.
Song Xiaodong coughed lightly again, speaking guiltily, "Alright, I admit it. My life was a bit messy in the past few years. Now that Iâm back, I wonât be so reckless anymore."
Song Xiaoru opened her mouth, wanting to ask about the girls he had met before. But when the words came to her lips, for some reason, she didnât want to ask anymore, and said instead, "Just be more prudent in the future."
"Understood," Song Xiaodong quickly agreed. He didnât want to talk much about the past, but if his sister asked, he wouldnât hide anything. It suited him well that Song Xiaoru wasnât asking, so he kept quiet.
"Looking at how relieved you are, you must have done plenty of bad things before," Song Xiaoru teased, spitting at Song Xiaodong, "Keep massaging, itâs making me sleepy."
"If youâre sleepy, just go to sleep,"
As Song Xiaoru closed her eyes, she felt a total relaxation, just from having her feet massaged, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
Song Xiaodong massaged Song Xiaoruâs feet earnestly for a while, then carefully got up. Watching her sweet sleeping figure, a smile spread across his face. Suddenly he felt an impulse, leaned down, and gently kissed Song Xiaoruâs cheek.
This kiss had no malicious intent, nor a hint of romantic feelings. It was simply an expression of sibling affection. After kissing her, he suddenly felt it was indeed very warm and seemed to bring him even closer to his sister.
"Hmm, I should tell sister tomorrow that I need to give her a kiss every day," Song Xiaodong immediately decided.
He returned to his bed and soon fell asleep as well. The next morning, Song Xiaoru woke him, saying, "Get up quick, you have to go to the association today, right? It should be the day you start teaching."
Song Xiaodong got up lazily. After washing up, Song Xiaoru had already prepared the meal. While eating, Song Xiaoru mentioned she would go check out the household appliances today, and Song Xiaodong could go to work.
Song Xiaodong had no objections, but as he was leaving, he suddenly hugged Song Xiaoruâs waist and kissed her on the cheek.
"Ah, you scoundrel, what are you doing?" The sudden move caught Song Xiaoru by surprise, and she quickly pushed Song Xiaodong away.
"Haha, Iâve decided, from now on, Iâm going to give sister a kiss every morning and before bed," Song Xiaodong announced with a laugh as he ran out of the door.
Song Xiaoru stood there, dumbfounded. What was going on with Song Xiaodong? Could it be that he already knew she wasnât his biological sister?
Thanks to book friend "Missing You Makes Me Think" and brother 1657301956 for the reward. I got up at 5:30 in the morning to take care of my daughterâs breakfast and school. There was heavy snow yesterday; I was too tired driving back and overslept. The update is a bit late, sorry.
