3: Husband, we just want to repay you
Although the family's food reserves were running low, considering that Xu Youyou and her sister hadn't eaten a decent meal in days, he still meticulously prepared a table of rather sumptuous dishes.
There was rice, meat, and fluffy steamed eggs.
Three dishes and one soup were arranged, filling the table.
Xu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Ming hadn't flown into a rage because she and her sister had stolen his clothes.
Noticing his gaze occasionally falling on her and her sister's legs, she clutched the corner of her clothes, feeling both nervous and a little excited inside.
"Hmph, he keeps staring at our feet, so he's not completely uninterested in us after all!"
"Could he have some strange hobby? I heard many boys are like that..."
Xu Lulu, on the other hand, was much simpler; smelling the aroma of the food, she couldn't help but sneak a peek.
Seeing meat and eggs on the table, her eyes immediately lit up.
However, the two sisters didn't sit down immediately, but instead looked at Lu Ming with apprehension.
"Hu-husband, Lulu's and my clothes are wet... Don't worry, we'll change back into our own clothes as soon as they dry."
Lu Ming couldn't help but glance down again, and his eyebrows immediately raised.
To be honest, he didn't mind at all; it was just the incandescent light that was a bit dazzling.
Seeing the urgency in their eyes, Lu Ming smiled gently.
"Wear them if you like. I'll buy you a few more sets in a couple of days."
The two sisters secretly exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
They had both been prepared to be scolded and beaten by Lu Ming.
They hadn't expected him not only not to blame them but also to buy them new clothes?
It seemed this 'convenient' husband wasn't as bad as they had imagined?
A glimmer of light appeared in Xu Youyou's confused eyes.
She bit her lower lip, forcing herself to suppress the urge to pull her clothes down lower, her peach blossom eyes shyly flickering: "Thank you, husband... Lulu and I just need to wash the clothes; there's no need to waste money."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Lulu's stomach suddenly let out a loud rumble, breaking the slightly tense atmosphere.
Lu Ming was amused by the sudden sound. He casually picked up two bowls, skillfully filled them with white rice, and placed them in front of the two sisters:
"You must be starving. Hurry and eat. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."
Xu Lulu looked at the dishes on the table, her throat moved, and she timidly looked at her sister.
Only after receiving Xu Youyou's nod of permission did she carefully pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
But to Lu Ming's surprise, the sister, who looked like a little foodie, didn't immediately put the meat in her own mouth.
Instead, she carefully placed it in her sister's bowl.
Then she picked up another piece for her sister before finally eating with satisfaction.
The sweet and sour sauce spread on her tongue, and the tender meat easily came off the bone with a gentle bite.
Her eyes instantly curved into crescent moons, and she praised indistinctly: "Delicious! Thank you, husband!"
Her voice was soft and sweet, very pleasant to hear.
Saying that, she eagerly shoveled another large mouthful of rice.
Seeing this, Xu Youyou also stopped being reserved, picked up her chopsticks, and took a piece of steamed egg.
"Hehe."
Seeing this, Lu Ming chuckled and added a few more pieces of meat to the sisters' bowls, "Eat slowly, I'll get more if it's not enough."
The sisters' movements paused, and their charming peach blossom eyes instantly misted over.
How long had it been since their father's accident that they had enjoyed such warm concern?
This husband of hers, he seemed really good... After a satisfying meal, it was already late at night.
Lu Ming lay in bed, recalling the moments he had spent with the Xu sisters, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Logically speaking, their emotional fluctuations tonight should have been quite significant, right?
Why was the system completely silent?
Just as he was pondering this, the door was quietly pushed open.
Xu Youyou, holding her sister's hand, tiptoed to the bedside.
Lu Ming remained with his eyes closed, clearly feeling two slender figures hesitate by the bed for a moment.
Then came the faint sound of fabric rubbing, which must have been the sisters finding a suitable place to sit down.
"Husband... should we give you a massage?" Xu Youyou's voice carried a hint of imperceptible tremor.
Lu Ming hummed in response, adjusting to a more comfortable position, turning his back to them.
The next second, two warm, soft hands gently rested on his shoulders.
The pressure was light, with cautious tentative touches. The warmth from their fingertips permeated through the thin fabric, dispelling some of the chill brought by the mental energy backlash.
The sisters' technique was very special; they weren't just randomly kneading, but rather slowly pressing and massaging along the shoulder and neck meridians.
Before long, Lu Ming felt a cool sensation on his forehead.
That coolness slowly flowed down from his glabella, like mint-infused spring water, suppressing most of the pain from the mental energy backlash.
He couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart that this ancestral massage technique really had something to it.
Seeing that Lu Ming didn't show any dissatisfaction, Xu Youyou and her sister's tense nerves also relaxed slightly.
Lu Ming could smell a faint fragrance from their hair, mixed with the steam from their recent shower. It wasn't strong, but it was exceptionally refreshing.
The corner of his eye inadvertently swept over the bedside, and he could see their fair calves hanging by their sides, and the hem of their clothes slightly swaying as they leaned forward.
Lu Ming composed himself, no longer overthinking.
"You can press a little harder, hmm?"
A sudden cool sensation came from his palm. Lu Ming looked up, and it was actually Xu Lulu's small foot.
So beautiful!
The arch of her foot was like a crescent moon, and her toes were round like pearls.
"Lulu?"
Xu Lulu was very clear about her and her sister's situation. If they couldn't please this husband, their future lives would be precarious.
So, she fearlessly met Lu Ming's gaze, a hint of cunning flashing in her peach blossom eyes, her lips curved in a smile like a beautiful little fox: "It's okay, husband, everyone has strange hobbies, I understand."
...
The moonlight from outside the window shone in.
Xu Youyou also noticed her sister's small movement. She bit her lip and hugged Lu Ming from behind.
Her charming face, identical to Xu Lulu's, was flushed hot.
Her body trembled slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterflies over her tightly closed peach blossom eyes.
"Husband, we... we want to repay you..."
Her sister's voice was cloyingly sweet, the soft,Glutinous ending still containing a tremor.
Although her body was a bit stiff, she still gathered her courage, opened her eyes, and looked at Lu Ming.
This was the only way she could think of to repay Lu Ming.
Besides, they were legally married under the witness of a Law Enforcer!
Wasn't it normal to fulfill a wife's duties?
If Lu Ming could refuse the gratitude of one beautiful girl, what about two?
Especially these two identical, pure yet alluring faces.
The most critical thing was that they were only wearing his T-shirts, and their fair legs swayed, dazzling Lu Ming.
Damn it!
I'm not some old cadre; I don't need to be tested.
An hour later.
Lu Ming finally found the correct way to open the system.
