Chapter 535 - 536: He Never Treated Me Like a Child

Chapter 535: Chapter 536: He Never Treated Me Like a Child

"Forget it, considering how you exhausted yourself treating Xiao Ling’s father, if I were to take my revenge now, it would just make me look petty. But we’re not done here, I’ll have my revenge sooner or later."

In the end, Lin Shu discarded the tempting thought, intending to go over and open the door to help Zhong Chuling, but as soon as she opened the door, she was hit by a foul smell. Zhong Chuling was just coming out with a basin and urged her, "Go back inside, it’s really dirty, I can handle it myself."

Lin Shu could only retreat, realizing there was really no way she could help.

After more than an hour, Zhong Chuling entered the room, her face beaming with joy, and Lin Shu immediately asked, "How is it?"

"My dad just woke up and spoke a few words to me before falling asleep again, and he also said he was hungry. I’m cooking porridge now, I’ll call him to eat in a bit, but first I’ll check on Big Brother Song."

"This lazy pig is still sleeping soundly," Lin Shu sneered, then asked, "Can this guy actually heal?"

Zhong Chuling answered, "I think so. Big Brother Song sounded so casual about it, that’s definitely a sign of confidence. Plus, my dad’s condition is clearly improving; it’s been days since he’s had any bowel movements or felt hunger, he’s been surviving on glucose alone."

Song Xiaodong was woken by his phone ringing.

"Dongzi, why haven’t you come back yet?" It was a call from Song Xiaoru.

"Uh, what time is it now?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"It’s past nine o’clock," Lin Shu spoke up immediately.

Song Xiaoru’s voice revealed her displeasure as she said, "I hear a woman’s voice, where have you run off to now?"

Song Xiaodong hurriedly replied, "Sis, I was treating someone and fell asleep from exhaustion. I’ll head back right away."

"Oh, is that so? Then come back quickly."

Lin Shu had wanted to spoil things for Song Xiaodong, but upon hearing the address Song Xiaodong used for her, she pursed her lips dismissively and said, "So it’s your sister, huh. That’s boring."

Song Xiaodong was somewhat at a loss for words with Lin Shu. This girl really knew how to play dirty, but thinking about how she had been helping Zhong Chuling, he figured her heart must be kind, and she probably wanted revenge on him because she felt wronged by him.

With that in mind, Song Xiaodong refrained from making a fuss with her.

At that moment, Zhong Chuling ran in, and upon seeing Song Xiaodong awake, she knelt down excitedly and, choking up, said, "Thank you, Big Brother Song, for saving my father’s life." Then she started kowtowing on the floor before him.

Song Xiaodong, lying on the bed, couldn’t stop her in time. By the time he lifted Zhong Chuling up, the girl had already kowtowed five or six times, leaving a red mark on her forehead.

Song Xiaodong placed his hand on Zhong Chuling’s forehead, and Lin Shu immediately yanked his hand away, saying fiercely, "Hey, what are you doing? Gratitude is all well and good, but don’t think you can take advantage of Xiao Ling so easily."

Zhong Chuling’s face turned red, but she bit her lip and said, "Xiao Shu, this... don’t worry about this, it’s my choice."

Lin Shu immediately exclaimed indignantly, "Don’t be silly, he saved your dad, we can just pay him money for that, how could you sell yourself? This guy is so bad, he might spank you every day, turning your bottom red and swollen until you can’t even get out of bed. You’ll surely suffer a lot."

Chuling shivered and glanced at Song Xiaodong, but still nodded and said, "I’m willing, even so."

Lin Shu rubbed her forehead, saying, "Xiao Ling, you’re really naive. I understand wanting to save your dad, but you can’t just sell yourself like that. If your dad recovers and finds out about this, think about how heartbroken he’d be. He might even think about ending it all. Then you’d have saved him for nothing."

Chuling paused, seeming to think that Lin Shu’s words made a lot of sense. She simply didn’t know how else to repay Song Xiaodong, and she really did want to repay him properly for saving her father’s life.

At this point, Song Xiaodong was somewhat exasperated, saying, "Hey, you two girls done with your nonsense yet? I’m just helping Xiao Ling with the swelling on her forehead. Are you really overthinking this much?"

"Just dealing with the forehead? You weren’t thinking of doing anything else?" Lin Shu looked at Song Xiaodong skeptically.

"Believe what you want," Song Xiaodong shook his head, "Fine, it’ll get better by tomorrow without treatment. I just saw Xiao Ling’s filial piety and wanted to help, that’s all." Then he got out of bed.

Chuling hurriedly said, "Big Brother Song, I believe you, I do."

Song Xiaodong nodded, placed his hand on Chuling’s forehead, and gently massaged for about two minutes. While massaging, he explained, "Your dad’s condition will take several sessions to heal. I need to come once a week; let’s set it for every Saturday. And let’s keep my treating him a secret, so I don’t end up being bothered by people all the time."

"Yes, yes!" Chuling agreed repeatedly, feeling that Song Xiaodong’s hands were warm, yet the touch on her forehead was really comforting. The pain from knocking her head earlier was now completely gone.

"Alright, I’ll be going now. My sister is waiting for me. I’ll come back next weekend," Song Xiaodong said, removing his hand and starting to leave.

Chuling and Lin Shu followed Song Xiaodong, with Chuling still thanking him profusely. When they reached the door, Chuling hurriedly said, "Big Brother Song, you haven’t given me your phone number yet."

Song Xiaodong recited his cell number, and Chuling quickly memorized it. Then she called to make sure Song Xiaodong took note of it before she let him leave with peace of mind.

"Big Brother Song is really a good person," Chuling said softly.

"Good person my ass," Lin Shu huffed, complaining, "He’s utterly wicked. Oh my, my butt hurts so much, check it out for me, quickly."

The two rushed to Chuling’s room where Lin Shu pulled down her pants and lay on the bed. Chuling saw that her butt was bright red and couldn’t help but grimace, saying, "Looks like it’s swollen."

Lin Shu, gritting her teeth in pain, said, "Yeah, that jerk hit so hard. It’s killing me."

"Then you should have asked Big Brother Song to rub it for you earlier. Look at my forehead, it stopped hurting after he rubbed it," Chuling suggested.

Lin Shu exclaimed, "Let him rub my butt? He can dream on. Even if it kills me, I wouldn’t let him touch my butt."

"Ah, right, that’s a place you can’t just let anyone touch. It’s off-limits. I think Big Brother Song just saw you as a naughty kid, that’s why he spanked you. Let’s just put this on my shoulders."

"Treated like a kid? That bastard, he didn’t just spank but also groped my butt, and not just over the pants – he reached inside! Does that sound like treating me as a kid? Let me tell you, you’d better watch out around him. He might seem this way now, but deep down, he’s a big pervert, a total hooligan!"
