Chapter 364 Daydreaming
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to massage her attentively.
He had a thorough understanding of acupoints on the human body, and each touch was precisely placed on the sore and distended points with just the right amount of force.
In just over ten minutes, Shen Li felt most of the soreness and weakness in her body dissipate, and she felt much lighter.
"Big brother, you have such talent!" Shen Li couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, turning to look at him kneeling on the bed.
"I learned it all gradually." A faint smile appeared on Lu Sheng's lips, his eyes full of doting affection.
"Big brother is so smart, he learns everything so quickly!" Shen Li didn't hold back his praise, his tone full of admiration.
But gradually, Shen Li sensed that something was wrong.
Lu Sheng's fingertips had somehow drifted away from his waist and slowly moved towards a more intimate spot, the originally gentle pressure becoming softer and more lingering.
A strange flutter rose in her heart, and that restless feeling returned.
She turned and glared at him, her tone slightly coquettish: "Big brother, are you up to no good again?"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow, his tone innocent: "What bad intentions could I possibly have? I was just massaging your acupoints."
Shen Li looked puzzled, yet her heart was racing uncontrollably: "Then why do I find myself having all sorts of fantasies when I look at you?"
Lu Sheng leaned down, his nose brushing against hers, his tone slightly seductive: "Is it possible that it's ovulation time, and it's just a normal bodily need?"
"Really?" Shen Li was somewhat dazed by his words, her eyes filled with confusion and a hint of probing.
"Mmm." Lu Sheng lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, his voice deep and tender, "Yes..."
The temperature in the room soared instantly, and the soreness that had just dissipated not only returned but was even worse than before.
More than an hour passed after the two finished their tender moment.
Lu Sheng carried Shen Li, who was so sore all over and didn't even have the strength to lift her arms, into the bathroom to wash her body.
Shen Li leaned against him, her tone slightly reproachful: "It's all your fault, what time is it now? I'm so hungry."
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow, teasing her deliberately, "Still not full? Looks like I didn't try hard enough. How about we do it again?"
"You're so annoying!" Shen Li looked at his mischievous grin, gently punched his chest, her cheeks flushed, "You know perfectly well that's not what I meant!"
Lu Sheng chuckled softly and kissed the top of her head: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore, it's my fault. Let's go have lunch after we wash up."
Shen Li was like a boneless rag doll, letting Lu Sheng wash and dry her, then carefully wrap her in a bath towel and carry her back to the room.
Lu Sheng helped her put on soft loungewear and pressed down on her shoulders: "Lie down and don't move."
Shen Li's face fell instantly, her voice thick with nasal tone: "Ah... Big brother, I really can't go on, I have no strength left."
Lu Sheng chuckled and gently tapped her back with his fingertips: "What are you thinking about? Let me massage a few more acupoints to relieve the soreness, and you'll feel much better."
"Oh, okay." Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief and obediently lay down on the bed.
Recalling his skillful technique and the remarkable effect, she felt relieved.
She truly hadn't expected that her older brother would secretly study medicine and become so skilled, even more effective than Mu Xi's massage therapist.
It's important to know that research on this acupoint in Traditional Chinese Medicine takes a long time to develop. How come I never noticed before that my brother was so quick-witted?
This thoughtfulness hidden in the details warmed her heart.
Grandma and Grandpa's relationship progressed very quickly.
At the end of February, my family called and asked my uncle to come back.
However, when my uncle returned this time, he was accompanied by a child of about ten years old, which stunned the whole family and left them all in surprise.
Seeing that his uncle looked gloomy and listless, as if he had something on his mind, everyone wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
My uncle only vaguely mentioned, "This is my friend's child," and no one pressed for details—some things are better left unsaid if the other party is unwilling to say them outright; pressing for details would only cause more trouble.
After that, the uncle took the child and moved into the old house where his grandmother used to live.
Not long after my uncle returned, my grandmother and grandfather Yu got their marriage certificate.
To celebrate this event, the Shen family decided to hold a family banquet at Shen Li's villa.
But when it came to treating everyone, they were stumped again.
My aunt's family has always been reasonable, so they naturally invited them to such an important event.
If we invited my second aunt's family, according to custom we had to invite my third aunt's family as well. Unfortunately, my third aunt's family is the most gossipy, always spreading rumors and gossiping, which is the most troublesome thing about them.
In the end, it was Mr. Shen who made the decision: "Since everyone will find out about this sooner or later anyway, let's just invite them all at once to avoid trouble later."
On the day of the family dinner, my aunt's family only knew that they were there to eat, and had no idea why.
Shen Li's villa was filled with a festive atmosphere. Although it was not extravagant, the red lanterns and red tablecloths made the courtyard lively, and anyone who saw it knew that a happy event was coming.
As soon as Third Aunt entered the courtyard, she spotted the commotion and immediately pulled Second Aunt aside to whisper, "Who in the Lu family is getting married? They look so happy."
My second aunt remained as honest and unassuming as ever, shaking her head slightly: "I don't know."
For her, household chores didn't bother her; she was content as long as she could live a peaceful life.
When Shen Li saw them enter with the younger members of their family, she quickly smiled and went forward to greet them.
It's the weekend, and most of the family members are here. My uncle also came with his child, Pingping.
A large crowd had gathered at the front gate. Grandma and Grandpa Yu were dressed in festive red clothes, making them particularly eye-catching.
This time, it was just his Shen family and Lu family. Grandpa Yu had no relatives. Although he had a good relationship with Uncle Liu before, Grandpa Yu still didn't plan to invite them.
As long as the Shen family can get here, that's fine.
Auntie noticed it immediately and teased with a smile, "Mom, you're dressed so festively!"
Grandma Shen glared at her third daughter, her tone slightly reproachful: "Can't I dress a little more festively?"
Third Aunt quickly waved her hand: "No, no! It's just that it feels a bit unusual, strangely novel."
At this moment, seeing that everyone had arrived, Mr. Shen cleared his throat and slowly said, "Mom is getting old, and we young people are all busy with our own lives. Mom and Uncle Yu want to have companionship in their old age and take care of each other. We, as their children, naturally give our full support."
"The two elderly people registered their marriage yesterday, and we invited everyone here today to celebrate as a family."
My uncle already knew about this, but my second and third aunts' families were hearing about it for the first time.
My second aunt remained silent, as she has never expressed her opinion on family matters.
Auntie San was stunned for a moment before urgently saying, "No, Mom, you're already this old, why are you still thinking about getting married? After you pass away, which ancestral grave will you be buried in?"
