Lin Dan was willing to help his son treat his leg, which was a great favor. The woman refused to take any more money from her.
Lin Dan folded the banknote neatly and stuffed it into the woman's purse, saying frankly: "If his body is healed sooner, I can start treatment earlier, so that my elder brother can see hope sooner. This is good for you, and even more so for my elder brother. To put it bluntly, I am helping you not out of kindness, but because of my elder brother, do you understand? So you should listen to whatever I say, and don't resist."
The woman then reluctantly accepted the silver and thanked Lin Dan profusely.
After the two of them had talked it out, Lin Dan began to write the prescription. He thought as he wrote, and was very cautious in adding to and revising it. The woman didn't dare disturb her and could only stand aside and watch in awe. The two of them didn't notice at all that a carriage had stopped outside the open gate of the courtyard, and a handsome man was carried down by two guards and placed at the door.
The guard following Lin Dan was very alert. He ran out to see who was coming and was surprised to find that it was the general. There was no other reason. Ever since he became paralyzed, the general had never stepped out of his house. At most, he would just look at the scenery in the yard, but his eyes had no focus at all, as if he was isolated from the world.
But now, the general had a stern face and looked straight into the courtyard with an anxious and worried look. The guards knew who he came for without asking.
"General, the girl is inside." The guard said in a low voice.
Xue Boyong nodded slightly, then turned his wheelchair and moved forward. He vaguely heard Lin Dan talking to someone. He didn't pay attention to what they said specifically, but he could not ignore the repeated calls of "my brother". In every ten sentences, she would mention "my elder brother" ten times, which shows that she is completely obsessed with that person and keeps him in mind.
Xue Boyong's heart, which was filled with worry and anger, was now completely soft. His tightly furrowed brows relaxed unconsciously, revealing a gentle smile. Hearing the news that Lin Dan was going to stay out all night, he almost went crazy with anxiety. He couldn't wait any longer and immediately asked the guards to chase after her. Thinking that Lin Dan was staying with a few strangers in a place where he couldn't see her, and he didn't know whether he would encounter any danger, he suddenly felt an irresistible impulse in his heart. When he came to his senses, he found that he had also set out with the guards, and the brightly lit Xue Mansion at the end of the road was getting farther and farther away from him.
He lifted the car curtain, looked at Kyoto, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, and finally let out a long sigh. Stepping out of Xiaofeng Pavilion and returning to the place where he once rode a horse and roamed, it didn't seem to be a difficult task. All it required was an opportunity and a motivation.
Lin Dan taught the woman how to massage and prepared a prescription. Then he stretched himself and walked out of the room, ready to take a breath, but found that his elder brother was sitting quietly in the corridor, looking at him with deep eyes.
She immediately retracted her half-stretched waist and asked in surprise, "Brother, why are you here?"
"I'll pick you up." Xue Boyong said slowly: "We have to set a rule from now on. No matter where you go, you must come back at night and you are not allowed to stay overnight outside." Whenever he thought that Lin Dan was not in Xiaofeng Pavilion, not within a short distance from him, he felt uneasy.
Lin Dan nodded subconsciously: "Okay, big brother, I'll listen to you." After that, he slapped his forehead and said hurriedly: "Big brother, I did something wrong, let's go back quickly!"
"Please pat it gently, your forehead is red." Xue Boyong held her slender wrist, a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes.
Lin Dan repeatedly made perfunctory excuses and said goodbye to the woman and the young man before he carried his eldest brother onto the carriage. After leaving Fengtian Township, she lifted up Xue Boyong's shirt and wanted to see his legs, but he grabbed her wrist and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to see big brother's legs. Big brother, can you please take off your pants?" As soon as Lin Dan finished speaking, the guard driving the carriage let out a shocking cough.
Xue Boyong's cheeks flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Little girl, do you have any shame?"
"Brother's illness is more important. If he doesn't take it off, I'll help you!" Lin Dan broke free from the grip and tried to pull Xue Boyong's trousers. Xue Boyong didn't dare to let her succeed, and quickly handcuffed her right hand behind her back. Lin Dan took advantage of the situation and rolled over, reaching out with his left hand again. The two of them started fighting in the narrow carriage, one grabbing the other elbowing him, and the back and forth was very exciting.
Hearing the muffled bangs coming from the carriage from time to time, the guards responsible for escorting the two men all had distorted faces, not knowing what expression to make.
"Are they fighting, or are they..." A guard raised his two thumbs and touched them together, with an ambiguous expression.
"Why do you care so much!" Another guard slapped him hard on the back of his head, telling him to stop talking.
The shaking carriage finally calmed down. The breathless Lin Dan was pressed under the eldest brother. Her waist kept twisting, and it was obvious that she was not giving up. Xue Boyong's forehead was covered in sweat, not because of tiredness, but because of holding back. He bent his waist with difficulty, trying to keep his lower abdomen away from the dishonest little girl, and said in a hoarse voice: "Have you had enough of making trouble? How can a young girl who has not married take off a man's pants casually!"
Lin Dan turned around and explained, "Brother, your legs need daily massage, otherwise the muscles will atrophy!"
"There are so many guards in Xiaofeng Pavilion, just let them do it, why do you need to do it yourself?"
"My massage technique is very special, they can't learn it." Lin Dan said firmly: "Brother, if your leg can't be cured, I will never get married in my life, don't tell me about the strict rules between men and women."
When Xue Boyong heard this, he subconsciously loosened his hands that were holding her down.
Lin Dan quickly got up, covered his head with the quilt, and then pulled his belt. He held her wrist tightly, his cheeks were red as blood, but fortunately, the quilt blocked it, so no one saw it. "Little girl, I lost to you!" His voice was hoarse and helpless: "After I go back, I will change into a pair of loose pants and lift up my trouser legs to show you, is that okay?"
"Okay." Lin Dan finally calmed down, and when she let go, she quickly pinched the muscles on her brother's legs.
Xue Boyong didn't feel anything, but when he pulled off the quilt, he saw her dishonest behavior and his cheeks started to burn. Dead girl! He cursed inwardly, but the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.
…………
There is another door in Xiaofeng Pavilion that connects to the outside of the mansion. If Xue Boyong didn't want people in the mansion to spy on his whereabouts, he could just close the courtyard gate and open the corner gate to completely isolate his courtyard from the general's mansion, creating two worlds of his own.
He went out and came back overnight, but no one in the mansion knew about it. Everyone was asleep and everything was quiet. Only the lanterns hanging in the corridor were swaying from side to side, casting a warm orange light. Lin Dan wrapped his elder brother tightly with a quilt and sent him back to his room. After he changed into loose pants, he lifted up his trouser legs to check his muscles. Fortunately, he was very strong before he was injured and his muscles had slightly atrophied, but the situation was not serious.
Lin Dan rubbed the medicated oil on his palms, rubbed them to warm them up, and then used his internal strength to massage Xue Boyong over and over again, explaining slowly: "Brother, your legs are fine. You only need to massage them twice a day to keep them in the best condition. I'll massage you once in the morning when I go out, and once when I come back in the evening, that's enough."
Xue Boyong looked at her slightly red fingers and said with concern: "Can't you do it once a day? If you do that, you will have one more trouble."
"No trouble. As long as big brother can get better, I will try every method." Lin Dan said in a firm tone.
Xue Boyong didn't say anything for a long time, just rubbed her head.
…………
After massaging Xue Boyong's legs with the ancestral massage technique for half a month, Lin Dan discovered that his slightly atrophied muscles had regained their former strength, so he became even more determined to slack off. She also went to Toyota Township every day, changing the prescription at any time, trying to quickly restore the boy's health.
That day, she got up early as usual to give her elder brother a massage, but was caught by Xue Jiming who was on leave. The other person was stunned for a moment, then ran forward in anger, trying to pull her away, but she slapped him away and he hit the door hard, almost vomiting blood.
“It’s you!” Lin Dan turned around, looking helpless: “Why are you so weak? Big Brother can’t walk but he can still beat me down, how come you can’t even take my attack? If Big Brother hadn’t been injured, ten of you combined would probably not be his match.”
Old Man Lin and Old Man Lin were both military doctors. The original owner grew up with them on the battlefield and also learned martial arts. Therefore, no one in the mansion suspected Lin Dan of his extraordinary strength and his expertise in the art of capture.
These days, Xue Jiming tried his best to gain recognition from others, but the sentence he heard most often was: You are not as good as your elder brother. Now even Lin Dan, who blindly worships him, is saying this. How can he not be sad? His lips trembled, but he was powerless to refute. He could only rub his aching chest and hold his breath.
Xue Boyong got angry when he saw this silly brother. Thinking of his previous engagement with Lin Dan, he felt even more uncomfortable. He frowned and said, "Why did you pull Lin Dan to your side just now? Don't you understand the difference between men and women?"
"Is it me who doesn't understand or is it her? How can she, a grown woman, touch your legs!" Xue Jiming looked very aggrieved.
Lin Dan had finished massaging and was wiping her hands with a towel while calmly explaining, "This is not touching, this is massage. Big brother's legs can't walk, and they will become thin and atrophied over time. Even if they are cured in the future, they will lose the ability to walk, and it will be quite difficult for him to stand up again. Now I massage him every day to exercise his muscles, which will only benefit him and not harm him."
Xue Boyong took the handkerchief and cleaned the little girl's nails one by one. He smiled and said, "Why are you wasting your time talking to him? If he doesn't believe it, he can ask Wu Xuancao."
"Xiao Cao'er never said that Big Brother's legs needed to be massaged. Lin Dan, you and I were once engaged, and now you are clinging to Big Brother. You are so shameless! I tell you honestly, even if Big Brother never marries, my grandmother and mother will not agree to you marrying him. You are not worthy!"
"Get out of here!" Before Xue Jiming could finish his words, Xue Boyong was already extremely angry. He crumpled the handkerchief in his hand into a ball and threw it over seemingly nonchalantly, but it hit Xue Jiming's chest like a stone, causing him further injuries.
Xue Jiming swallowed his blood and said tearfully, "Brother, you don't know how to appreciate a good person! One day you will know what kind of person Lin Dan is."
When he was about to cry out of grievance, Lin Dan came out with a basin of water, walked straight around him without even glancing at him.
