Xia Bei was suffocating.
Originally, he couldn't see clearly because she was still wearing undies, at most he could see a shallow gap.
But now the white lace was completely soaked, almost transparent, and the beauty underneath was clearly outlined, lush and flourishing.
He stared, his soul captivated.
This is his sister's…
"Xiaobei, you…"
Seeing his reaction, Xia Shiqi regretted her impulsiveness a little. This is her younger brother! Yet now, she had exposed her most private and precious place to him!
The immense shame made her tremble nonstop, blush spreading to the base of her neck.
Yet, what's done was done. Coupled with the huge grievance from being scolded by her mother-in-law, it made her more determined in her thoughts to quickly get checked and confirm if the problem was hers.
"Sis, this examination requires…"
Xia Bei finally regained his senses and turned his face away.
He detailedly explained that to check the cervical fluid, certain tools were needed to expand the birth canal to extract the deepest liquid for examination. He could determine by smelling it.
"Tools? Where would tools come from here?"
"You can also use hands!"
"What?"
Xia Shiqi was dumbfounded upon hearing it, completely unable to accept the implication that Xiaobei meant he needed to use his hand instead of tools for the most thorough examination?
"No way, absolutely no way!"
She shook her head vigorously, trembling with shame.
This method was simply ridiculously absurd!
However, if she went to the hospital, she might encounter a male doctor too; nowadays, many gynecological examinations are done by male doctors. Yesterday, she finally scheduled a female doctor after much effort.
Thinking of this, she hesitated a bit.
"Xiaobei, are you sure you can examine thoroughly? If there's a problem, do you have a way to completely cure it?" Her voice trembled, struggling internally.
On one hand, the sibling relationship made her feel intensely shameful and difficult to accept such an examination. On the other hand, her concern for her body—she wanted a child too, just never conceived.
"Yes!"
Xia Bei nodded firmly.
To him, this was simple.
"Then… alright!"
Xia Shiqi hesitated momentarily but made up her mind, knowing Xiaobei's character—he wouldn't deceive his sister. For the sake of treatment, she couldn't care about too much.
Immediately, she lay back and turned her face away.
Xia Bei was still somewhat incredulous, never expecting his cousin sister would truly consent, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
"Xiaobei, hurry up… wait, go wash your hands."
Prepared, Xia Bei sat down on the sofa, turned away, and groped around aimlessly until he soon felt a patch of warm, soft tenderness.
"Hmm!"
Accompanied by a shy and suppressed moan from his sister, Xia Bei's fingers slipped into a fiery, tightly enveloped moistness, almost stuck, making him shiver with excitement, feeling utmost pleasure…
Even before starting the examination, he was surprised to find a wave of cool Yin energy continuously flowing through his fingertips, merging with the Yang energy within.
Could this achieve Yin-Yang Balance?
Composing himself, he began to examine seriously.
A few minutes later, he took it out, sniffed carefully, and discerned.
"How is it?"
Xia Shiqi still turned her face away, her voice trembling greatly. At this moment, she didn't know how to face her younger brother!
Clearly they are family, yet he had entered her most private place. Although it was for treatment, for examination, it was still considered crossing a line, violating ethical morals!
"Sis, you have a slight issue…" Xia Bei thought for a bit and said.
"Is it truly my problem?"
Xia Shiqi instantly became nervous.
"Partially, your body environment has a slight abnormality, causing seeds of slightly lower quality to be unable to survive." Xia Bei said, "In other words, more of the problem lies with brother-in-law; he likely has weak sperm syndrome."
"Then what should I do?"
"One way is for brother-in-law to get treated and improve the quality; another way is to adjust your body."
"He wouldn't admit he has a problem…" Xia Shiqi snorted, "Do I need to take medicine?"
"Yes! You'll need medication; I'll prepare some medicine when I go back."
"Oh!"
Xia Shiqi fell silent, and the atmosphere became exceedingly awkward.
Xia Bei was also embarrassed, stammering, "Sis, it's just an examination, I had no other thoughts."
"Is that so?"
Xia Shiqi snorted, glanced back, sneaking a look at the terrifyingly pitched tent, "Just now, I shouldn't have agreed… Xiaobei, we are siblings! Family! How can we do such things…"
"Sis, actually, I'm not my parents' biological child, we're not related."
Xia Bei blurted out.
"What? How did I not know?"
Xia Shiqi was stunned.
"It was my mom who told me when she passed away, saying she picked me up and adopted me!"
Xia Shiqi opened her red lips but didn't know what to say for a moment. However, she suddenly felt a lot better inside; without blood ties, it wouldn't be considered violating moral ethics.
But for so many years, she had treated him as her real brother, unable to adjust her mindset instantly.
"You are still my brother, forever!"
"Yes!"
Xia Bei nodded, yet felt a twinge of sadness inside. He liked his sister, but because of their sibling relationship, could only bury his feelings deep. Moreover, she was already married…
"Xiaobei, pass me a tissue, I need to wipe… I'll find someone to help you learn some of the store's projects…"
Xia Bei spent the day at the beauty parlor, went to the pharmacy to buy herbs in the evening, and when he returned home, it was already past nine.
"Stepmom?"
Upon opening the door, he saw his stepmom lying on the living room sofa, asleep, with the television still on.
Apparently, the study door was open, tidied up, with a folding bed placed inside. Although still rudimentary, it was habitable. It must've been his stepmom who tidied up until she was exhausted, thus fell asleep on the sofa.
Hope she doesn't catch a cold!
A fan was blowing on the coffee table, sending a breeze; she wore only a cool nightgown.
Xia Bei walked over, intending to cover her belly with the blanket beside her, but with a glance, his breath quickened.
The black nightgown was very thin, the voluptuous body underneath faintly visible, neckline open, that snowy tender fullness strongly impacting his eyes, along with those sexy long white legs.
The breeze lifted her skirt hem, exposing a hint of black lace, exuding endless temptation.
Xia Bei's heart raced wildly, completely losing control over himself, slowly bending down, wanting to delve deeper and explore the secret hidden within.
"Xiaobei? Back already!"
At that moment, a murmur awakened him—it was the stepmom awake, opening sleepy eyes and smiling gently, attempting to get up, "I've tidied the room for you; I'm exhausted… oops!"
She wasn't steady standing, tipping over.
Xia Bei reacted quickly, extending his hand. That mature, fiery body fell into his embrace, pulling him down onto the sofa, his face perfectly nestled amidst that snowy tender fullness, tightly enveloped…
