Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Tingrui’s eyes glinted slyly when he spotted Huo Yao pause.

Then he rubbed his shoulder and whined in pain.

Huo Xiang immediately stood up and said considerately, “Shall I give your shoulders a rub?”

Huo Tingrui’s face instantly turned dark. He viciously glared sideways at Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang: “…”

“Mom said Yao is very good at massaging,” said Huo Tingrui as he deliberately turned to look at her.

At this moment, he was looking at Huo Yao like a poor puppy.

Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She shook her head helplessly before she headed over to him.

“A shoulder ache?” asked Huo Yao.

Huo Tingrui nodded.

“Want me to massage it?” Huo Yao raised her brow.

Someone nodded madly again.

“Fine.” Huo Yao raised her hands and placed them on Huo Tingrui’s shoulders. She started to rub them.

In an instant, tears almost burst from Huo Tingrui’s eyes. “Ow… That hurts. Can you be more gentle?”

Huo Yao did not stop. Instead, she said gravely, “Stiffness in the shoulders is a sign of severe strain. Brother Tingrui, your shoulders need to be massaged properly since you’re unwell.”

But it was so painful that Huo Tingrui’s shoulders trembled under her hands’ ministration. He hurriedly shook his head and said, “I feel fine, so there’s no need for you to…”

“No, you’re unwell,” interrupted Huo Yao in a serious tone. Then she massaged him even harder without giving him the chance to escape.

Huo Tingrui’s vision was turning dark. “!!!”

Why did he dig a grave for himself?

Why did he have a death wish?!

Huo Xiang instinctively inched away in fear when he saw Huo Tingrui’s ghastly pale face and agonised look.

Ten minutes later, Huo Yao finally let Huo Tingrui off.

The moment Huo Tingrui escaped her clutches, he felt alive again. He turned to look at Huo Yao with fear lingering in his eyes.

Despite how petite she was, their little sister was very strong.

Huo Yao completely disregarded the look of fear on her second older brother’s face. “How do you feel now? Are your shoulders still in pain?”

“I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Huo Tingrui waved his head like a marionette. He had no doubt that his sister would ‘massage’ him again if he said otherwise.

Huo Xiang covered his eyes when he saw Huo Tingrui behaving like a coward.

Huo Yao raised her brow and said airily, “Oh yes, Brother Tingrui. I can give you acupuncture treatment as well.”

Huo Tingrui went into shock. “!!!”

He felt as though his life was severely endangered!

“Ahem. Erm… Didn’t you say you had homework to finish? I shan’t hold you up. Why don’t you go upstairs?” said Huo Tingrui, waving his hand.

He looked completely different from a few moments ago when he had pulled this ruse to gain her attention.

“Okay. You can tell me when it hurts next time,” said Huo Yao before she left.

There was no way Huo Tingrui’s shoulders would ever ache again. Not in this lifetime!

(-᷅_-᷄)

After she was out of sight, Huo Tingrui finally heaved a sigh of relief and slumped onto the couch. His energy was completely sapped.

But soon after, he realised that his shoulders were feeling much lighter. He moved them a little to find that the usual stiffness and ache seemed to have disappeared.

Huo Tingrui exclaimed in surprise. He straightened his body and pressed his shoulder. There was no pain at all.

Although he had exaggerated the matter purposely, he did suffer from chronic shoulder aches.

Wow! His little sister’s massage technique was amazing.

Huo Xiang noticed the change in Huo Tingrui’s expression and could not help asking him. “Brother Tingrui, are you okay?”

Since Huo Tingrui was completely relaxed now, and felt fully energised. He glanced at Huo Xiang with a smug look. “Of course, I’m fine.”

Huo Xiang: “…”

Judging from Huo Tingrui’s earlier reaction, it was a complete lie.
