Shao Xi and Shao Nan didn’t want to be considered a joke by them anymore. Besides, they could feel that the water had turned cold. In the end, under the gazes of these four people, and amid Little Bei and Xiao Wu’s accompaniment music (croaking), Shao Xi and Shao Nan stiffly started to help each other wash.

  They washed their feet, feeling disappointed in their big brother and angry at Mu Jingzhe, Xiao Wu, and Little Bei, but… soon, they couldn’t hold back their expressions and couldn’t help wanting to laugh. On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe and Shao Dong felt that this wasn’t enough and even gave them pointers on how to wash their feet. Under their guidance, they had no choice but to wash the area between each other’s toes. At that moment, Shao Xi and Shao Nan finally couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

  Shao Xi couldn’t hold it in, and then Shao Nan followed suit. The two of them laughed really hard. “Don’t tickle me!”

  “I should be saying that. You’re doing it on purpose.”

  “Who’s doing it on purpose? I can’t be bothered to touch your smelly feet.”

  As they spoke, the two of them couldn’t help but tickle each other. They swore to make each other laugh to death. The two of them moved together and laughed out loud.

  Mu Jingzhe nodded in satisfaction. This was the reason she had asked them to wash each other’s feet. Soles were especially ticklish, and once they started bursting into laughter, they wouldn’t be in the mood to glare at each other anymore.

  Mu Jingzhe nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the two of them, who were bent over with laughter. It seemed like her unorthodox method had worked. She could continue using it in the future.

  Mu Jingzhe, who had provided meritorious service, quickly stood up. She didn’t forget to carry Little Bei and Xiao Wu away before she asked Shao Dong to leave. Reality had proved that she had done the right thing, but she was vigilant. As soon as they left, Shao Xi and Shao Nan immediately entered melee mode, splashing water uncontrollably.

  “Stop splashing water. The water that was used to wash your feet just got into my mouth. Yuck, it’s so dirty.”

  “Wasn’t that water used to wash your feet as well? It got in my mouth too.”

  The two of them were forced to reconcile after drinking the water used to wash each other’s feet. It wasn’t appropriate for them to be glaring at each other after laughing, but they couldn’t bring themselves to smile at each other or anything like that.

  “Alright, it’s good that you’ve reconciled. In the future, helping to wash each other’s feet will become a common method to ease your relationship after you quarrel. If you quarrel again, this is how it will go. You’ll help wash each other’s feet until you reconcile.”

  Mu Jingzhe looked at the effect this had on Shao Xi and Shao Nan and felt that this method was quite good, so it was worth keeping.

  Mu Jingzhe was satisfied, but Shao Xi and Shao Nan felt like they were going crazy. Even Shao Dong and Little Bei couldn’t accept it.

  “Noooo, Mommy!” Shao Xi screamed. Shao Nan also scratched his head. “Mommy, this method is kind of…”

  “Kind of good, right? Do you think I’m very talented and amazing?” Mu Jingzhe helped finish his sentence with a smile.

  Shao Dong and the others: “…”

  \r \r \r

  No, that wasn’t what they’d meant.

  Previously, Shao Dong, Little Bei, and Xiao Wu had even laughed at Shao Xi and Shao Nan. Now, they felt that they were in danger too.

  Mu Jingzhe looked at their expressions. “In the future, when Little Dong, Little Bei, and Xiao Wu fight, they will also use this method.”

  While looking at the expressions of Shao Dong, Little Bei, and the others, Shao Xi and Shao Nan felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation. They had already suffered through this once, so they really wanted to see Shao Dong, Little Bei, and the others undergo this too. Especially Shao Dong. All of a sudden, they were filled with infinite anticipation.

  Shao Xi darted his eyes around and laughed out loud. “Yes, Mommy is right. Mommy, you’re really smart and talented. This is a very brilliant solution.”

  He suddenly felt like quarreling with Big Brother. What would it feel like to have Big Brother wash his feet for him?

  Just as this wicked idea popped up in Shao Xi’s head, Shao Dong sensed something and suddenly looked over, shooting Shao Xi a warning look.

  Shao Xi stood obediently and heard Mu Jingzhe say, “Right? You agree with me, right? So tomorrow, you guys can continue washing for one more day to strengthen your relationship.”

  Shao Nan froze. Shao Xi was helpless. “You’re the smartest, aren’t you?”

  “Didn’t you laugh just now too?” Shao Nan retorted. The two of them rolled their eyes again.

  Mu Jingzhe looked at them. “Looks like your relationship isn’t deep enough. I have to think of a way to enhance it.”

  Again?

  Shao Nan and Shao Xi couldn’t be bothered to glare at each other anymore when they heard that. “No, no. Mommy, we’re fine.”

  Shao Nan immediately grabbed Shao Xi’s hand, indicating that they were fine. He really didn’t want to experience another good idea that Mu Jingzhe came up with.

  Shao Xi reacted and quickly hugged Shao Nan’s shoulders. “Yes, we’re doing very well. Mommy, there’s no need.” Shao Xi was also afraid.

  “Really? But I think you guys are acting.”

  “No, really, really.” Shao Xi panicked when he heard that. He thought for a moment and quickly kissed Shao Nan’s face. “See that, Mommy? We’re fine.”

  Although he made it sound really nice, his hand did not lie and couldn’t resist the urge to wipe his mouth.

  Shao Nan: “…”

  He turned around and looked at Shao Xi in a daze, his eyes filled with questions.?What are you doing?

  Shao Xi glared back. What else could he be doing? He wanted to show that they had made up, of course.

  Shao Nan expressed himself speechlessly.?Even then, why would you have to do that?

  Shao Xi snorted.?Kiss me back if you dare!

  Mu Jingzhe, who was watching from the sidelines: “…”

  There was no need for this, was there?

  Although they wanted to prove that they were close, there was no need to go to such an extent.

  Mu Jingzhe was momentarily at a loss for words, so she didn’t say anything. Shao Xi looked a little anxious and nudged Shao Nan with his elbow, hinting at him with his gaze that if it didn’t work, he should kiss him to prevent Mu Jingzhe from coming up with other ideas.

  Shao Nan’s face was filled with struggle. Just as he was trying hard to convince himself to kiss Shao Xi, Mu Jingzhe saw through their intentions and quickly interrupted.

  “Alright, alright. Stop struggling and acting. I can tell what you’re up to. I won’t be fooled by a kiss. Don’t use such a method again in the future.”

  Mu Jingzhe clapped. “I’ve already thought of a solution. Wait a while.”

  “Mom!” Shao Xi and Shao Nan shouted in disbelief. Under Shao Dong’s worried gaze, Mu Jingzhe left without looking back.

  Shao Xi instantly despised Shao Nan. “You’re still mad at me? Why are you struggling? If you had kissed me earlier, this wouldn’t have happened.”

  “Didn’t you hear Mommy say that it wouldn’t work?”

  “But it’s a fact that you despise me!” Shao Xi was indignant. “Shao Nan, you actually dare to despise me? What is there to despise me for?”

  “I do not. I’m just not used to it,” Shao Nan retorted.

  “Not used to it? Then why are you used to Mommy and Little Bei kissing you? When I kissed you just now, I saw your expression. You were clearly unwilling and disdainful. Not only do you not want to kiss me, but you’re even unwilling to let me kiss you. What right do you have to be unwilling?”

  “What else did you expect? Do I have to dance in joy when you kiss me? If it were me kissing you, would you be willing? If you are, I’ll kiss you back right now and kiss you every day in the future.” Shao Nan used his ultimate move: harming his enemy at the expense of harming himself.

  He leaned toward Shao Xi, looking like he wasn’t afraid of him.

  Shao Xi choked but he insisted on sticking out his face. “Come on. If you can, kiss my face until it rots. I don’t mind at all. I’m really glad.”

  Shao Nan: “…”

  He had forgotten that Second Brother was the sort of person who couldn’t be antagonized. But he really couldn’t do it. Momentarily, he couldn’t find a way out of this embarrassing situation.

  “See, I knew you despised me. To think you despise me…” Shao Xi, who was proud of himself, looked like a villain who had succeeded.
