"Ah?" Wang Yanli's mouth slightly agape, her face full of astonishment.
She had not expected Wu Gang to say such a thing, but after hesitating for a while, she eventually handed the soap to Wu Gang and slowly closed her eyes...
As Wu Gang took the soap, he started to excitedly scrub his little aunt.
His heart was pounding with excitement because, after all these years, he finally had the chance to repay his little aunt.
Yes, after the bath, he needed to give his little aunt a good massage on her acupressure points!
Nodding his head, Wu Gang carefully scrubbed with the soap, and as he looked at his little aunt's chest, he instinctively swallowed, thinking to himself:
"Little Aunt's pecs are really big, even bigger than Sister La Mei's."
"Mhm~"
Feeling the scrubbing with the soap, Wang Yanli couldn't help but tense up.
The sensation of a man's hands touching her made her want to cry out the comfort she felt, but she knew that she couldn't let Wu Gang discover that.
She tried her best to endure it, but it was really too comfortable!
"Aunt, what's wrong? Is the scrubbing making you uncomfortable?" Wu Gang saw Wang Yanli biting her lip with an agonized expression on her face.
Especially as her face had flushed to the roots of her ears, he couldn't help but start to worry.
Hearing Wu Gang's question, Wang Yanli, feeling panicked, snatched the soap from his hands with a slightly hoarse voice, "Xiao Gang, Aunt is fine, just go out first, Aunt will wash by herself."
While saying so, she pushed Wu Gang toward the bathroom door.
Looking at the bathroom door that had been closed, Wu Gang wore a look of utter confusion, not knowing what he had done wrong to upset his little aunt.
However, behind the closed door, Wang Yanli's hands tightly clenched the soap to her chest, breathing heavily.
She knew that if Wu Gang continued to help her scrub, she might really not be able to restrain herself.
Even though Wu Gang had left, Wang Yanli's heart was even more restless, and her mind was filled with the image of Wu Gang reacting earlier.
Her hand holding the soap slowly reached downward, her eyes tightly shut, and tears uncontrollably spilled from the corners of her eyes. She hated herself.
"Wang Yanli, oh Wang Yanli, how could you be so low, that's Xiao Gang! The one you raised since he was young!"
Though Wang Yanli had mentally prepared herself, when it actually came to that step, her heart strongly stopped her from acting on those impulsive thoughts...
"Aunt, are you done showering?"
Hearing the sound of the bathroom door sliding, Wu Gang turned his head to look at Wang Yanli.
Wang Yanli, however, could not meet Wu Gang's gaze, murmured a soft "hmm," and walked toward the main house while wiping her wet hair.
Observing Wang Yanli's sudden indifference, Wu Gang was clueless, then filled with self-reproach, "It must be that I hurt my little aunt earlier, I'm such an idiot!"
Feeling guilty, Wu Gang also went toward the main house, and when he reached the door to Wang Yanli's bedroom, he gently knocked on the door.
"I'm sorry, Aunt, I... I didn't mean to hurt you earlier. Can you talk to me, Aunt?"
"..."
Wu Gang called out from outside the door for quite a while, but there was no response from the room.
Wu Gang felt even worse inside; he had not expected that having his sight restored would cause his little aunt to be upset with him. He thought it might be better to be blind.
He was afraid, afraid that his little aunt wouldn't want him!
If his little aunt didn't want him, what would he do in the future?
...
Lying on the bed, Wang Yanli's heart was also incredibly bitter, particularly upon hearing Wu Gang's apology, which made her feel even worse.
She didn't know what to do. Was she really to have that kind of relationship with Xiao Gang? Fulfill her late husband's wish and leave a descendent for the Wu family?
Having lived with Wu Gang all these years, she had already harbored feelings for Wu Gang.
She liked the purity of this young man, liked how good he was to her.
She even dreamt of him passionately every night, but when the moment nearly happened, she realized she truly couldn't take that step...
"Aunt, don't be angry anymore, let me give you a massage. Sister La Mei was very happy with my massage, I can help you relax too when you're feeling upset, please let me," he begged.
After a long silence, Wu Gang's voice rang out again.
Hearing the plea in Wu Gang's tone, Wang Yanli hesitated for a long time, but eventually couldn't bear to refuse softly.
"Xiao Gang, it's getting late. Give Aunt a massage tomorrow. Aunt isn't angry, just thinking about some unhappy things," she said.
Upon hearing that his little aunt wasn't angry, Wu Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking to himself, no matter what, tomorrow he must give his little aunt a massage, to really make her feel good...
