Seeing his third sister's distraught appearance, Mu Liuyun felt a pang of pity, so he decided not to look at her anymore.
"Big sister, I'm going to rest now."
Lin Hongmei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Lanxin, who was beaming with health, and nodded with a strange expression.
'Can you really get some rest?'
'Won't this exhaust my newly recruited underling?'
However, she didn't say much. Anyway, her family was rich enough that even if Mu Liuyun's health was a bit depleted, they could find a way to make up for it.
The most urgent thing is to get the younger brother to work harder so that Lulu can have a few playmates soon.
It was getting late, and as Mu Liuyun left the living room, Lin Yurou, who had just left, returned.
She didn't want to come back, but her bed (sofa) was here, so she had no choice but to return.
Lin Hongmei returned to her room and looked at the night view of the courtyard outside the French windows.
Lin Hongmei couldn't help but think of that man when her second sister's request and the night view in the courtyard came to mind...
Although her villa wasn't overly luxurious, she had put a lot of thought and effort into decorating the yard herself.
Surrounded by several crabapple trees, the moonlight filters through the leaves, casting a tranquil and beautiful glow on the courtyard. The lush greenery, fragrant blossoms, and antique-style architecture, along with the central swing, create a unique blend of modern and ancient aesthetics.
"Xiao, we tied that swing up together."
She understood that her second sister's request wasn't just for her own pleasure, but also to comfort herself.
Her husband was also someone who was obsessed with novels and loved to play the fool in real life.
Unfortunately, reality isn't a novel; that guy always plays the fool until the very end, then makes a witty remark.
But...
"Well, it does feel kind of cool."
Thinking back to the scene in the afternoon when her second sister forced her to voluntarily meet Lin Yaodong, Lin Hongmei was secretly a little excited, and even the corners of her mouth turned up slightly crooked.
"Heh, Xiao, is this the feeling you wanted me to experience back then?"
"Knock knock"
"Come in."
The knocking interrupted Lin Hongmei's thoughts. Turning around, she saw the door being pushed open, and a pair of pigtails with their hair hanging low squeezed through the crack in the door.
"Big sister~"
Lin Yurou looked aggrieved, calling out "Big Sister" as she snuggled into Lin Hongmei's arms.
Seeing Lin Yurou like this, Lin Hongmei couldn't help but sigh and hug her tighter.
Perhaps because their parents have been away for so long, the younger sisters in the family are all very precocious, especially the second sister, who is only 27 years old, but acts like she has been a mother for more than 10 years.
Even the little brother they just adopted is incredibly well-behaved.
Only the third child, Lin Yurou, has always been mischievous and troublesome since childhood. She is known for causing trouble, though not major ones.
For this reason, the third child, who is usually the least favored in a family, becomes the darling of the family.
Although I often tease her, teasing and spoiling are pretty much the same thing.
"What's wrong? Do you miss your mom and dad?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yurou, who was about to act coquettishly, suddenly froze, her composure crumbling: "Big sister, do you still treat me like a child?!"
"oh?"
Lin Hongmei smiled faintly: "What happened? Is it related to Xiaoyun?"
Upon hearing Lin Hongmei's question, Lin Yurou nodded, causing Lin Hongmei's heart to skip a beat.
What's going on? Is the third brother jealous?
Is it really going to be like in those novels, where they start bullying the new young master?
Xiaoyun's arrival really did take away a lot of the care and attention given to her.
Seeing Lin Yurou's slightly moist eyes, Lin Hongmei was about to say something when she heard the other speak.
"Big sister, I've been unemployed for a long time. Xiaoyun won't look down on me and think I'm a good-for-nothing, will she? Waaah, I don't want that!"
Lin Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief, patted Lin Yurou's back, and said gently, "It's okay, it's okay, your older sister can take care of you."
The overly gentle tone made Lin Yurou completely oblivious to Lin Hongmei's affirmation that she was a "good-for-nothing," which even made her somewhat smug.
"That's right. I don't have a job myself, so how could I look down on you, sister? From now on, let's just hang out together and live a life of leisure!"
After she finished speaking, Lin Yurou saw Lin Hongmei shake her head, which made her heart skip a beat.
"W-what? Sister, you're not going to support us anymore?"
"No, what I mean is that Xiaoyun doesn't need to just laze around. She has her own company and collaborates with the Shui and Shen families. The Erwa General Store that you often visit is run by her."
"So, Yurou, don't worry. Even if your older sister can't take care of you, your younger brother will."
"...Huh?"
The Lin family only has you as a good-for-nothing.
Of course, Lin Hongmei didn't say those words out loud.
...
...
"etc!"
Meanwhile, in Lin Yurou's room (formerly), Mu Liuyun saw Shen Lanxin about to pounce on her and quickly pushed her away.
Shen Lanxin was taken aback, then chuckled: "What, are you going to play the coy game again? Xiaoyun, you know I love that!"
"No, no, I have blisters on my feet!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lanxin's gaze shifted downwards, landing on those feet that were enough to make her love them for life, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.
Mu Liuyun didn't notice this scene; she was just pinching the blister, trying to squeeze out the fluid, muttering to herself, "I haven't been going out much lately, and I've become so delicate. I only went out for a short walk today, and I've already got a blister. Really..."
"Cough, Xiaoyun, let me apply the medicine for you."
Of course, upon hearing that Mu Liuyun had indeed developed blisters on her feet, Shen Lanxin suppressed her desires and anxiously examined Mu Liuyun's little feet, where she indeed saw a rather large blister.
"It breaks my heart."
"..."
Shen Lanxin said these words with a blank expression, which made her seem strange.
Then, she took it in her hand, gently grasped it, and then examined it carefully with a worried expression.
"Lanxin, Lanxin, no need, I'll just squeeze it and then put some iodine on it."
Shen Lanxin remained silent, only continuing her examination.
"Have you touched enough?"
Mu Liuyun is ticklish, and her body is full of itchy flesh. Touching her once or twice is fine, but this constant touching made Mu Liuyun extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to struggle, but her small arms and legs couldn't break free from Shen Lanxin's seemingly fair and tender hands.
Hearing Mu Liuyun's words, Shen Lanxin shook her head.
"I haven't touched it enough."
As she answered, she continued what she was doing.
"You think I'm touching your feet, but actually I'm feeling the path you've walked."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and took a deep sniff, causing Mu Liuyun to blush instantly: "Lan Xin!"
Even though he took a shower, he still sweated a bit, so he'll definitely smell.
Shen Lanxin did not respond to Mu Liuyun, but turned on the TV next to her and switched the channel to CTV13, which was broadcasting a news program.
"Today's Top News"
Upon hearing the sound from the television, Mu Liuyun immediately understood what Shen Lanxin meant, buried her head in the pillow, and ignored the person in front of her.
He really didn't understand. When other people were dating, it was the man who was the one who was eager for sex. Why was it like this when it was him?
In other words, Shen Lanxin couldn't hear Mu Liuyun's true feelings, otherwise she would definitely have told Mu Liuyun: "The answer is simple, no other man is as good-looking as you."
"Okay, don't move."
Seemingly having had enough, Shen Lanxin took a needle from the side, sterilized it with a lighter, and returned to Mu Liuyun's side.
There are many different opinions online about whether or not to pop blisters. However, unlike many netizens who ask questions online, Mu Liuyun has someone to take care of him, while no one would take care of them just because of a blister.
Looking at Shen Lanxin, who was expressionless but still taking good care of her, Mu Liuyun felt a warmth in her heart.
What good deeds did he do in his past life to be able to meet them in this one?
"Oh, right, Lanxin, you didn't bring iodine."
"It's okay, saliva is even more effective at disinfecting."
"..."
Is it really a good thing to do?
