2765 The word "marriage" was piercing to his ears
"Is this strength okay?" su ningmei asked.
"Yes, it's very comfortable,"
Xia Anlan could feel that his head was getting better after a few massage. He was surprised that su ningmei knew how to massage him.
"If I touch a spot that hurts and you can't take it, you have to tell me."
"Alright," he said.
Su ningmei had specially learned how to massage her head. Since her mother had migraines, she went to learn this massage technique from a Chinese medicine practitioner.
"Have you learned this before?" Xia Anlan's head felt a little better. At least it was not as heavy as before. He could clearly feel su ningmei's fingers rubbing against his scalp. It was as if there was an electric current running through her fingers, bringing about a numbing sensation.
"Yes, I've learned a little. There was a time when my mother had a terrible migraine, so I went to learn. After the unmarried ones got married, I often gave her a massage at home."
Xia Anlan repeated the word 'married' in his heart. He felt that the word was a little harsh.
"How's Auntie doing now?"
"It's alright. It's not as serious as before. It still hurts occasionally. " When she thought of her mother, su ningmei felt guilty. After she got married, she didn't do anything to be filial. Instead, she made them worry for her.
"It seems that you still have to go home more often and try to do things that make them happy."
Su ningmei nodded."Yeah. I'm just too far away. I can't go back often."
Xia Anlan's fingers moved slightly as he asked,""Uncle and Auntie are most worried about your marriage, right?"
Su ningmei's movements paused for a moment. She didn't want him to ask her about her marriage because it kept reminding her that she was a married woman, and it reminded her of the distance between them. She replied indifferently,""Yup,"
Xia Anlan could sense that su ningmei was not in a good mood, but he still continued,""I think you should listen to their opinions. Since you didn't find happiness in that marriage, why waste so much of your time? you can't reunite with your family, and you can't be filial to your parents. Perhaps...Leaving will be better for you."
Xia Anlan used to think that he did not care about su ningmei's marriage. It did not matter whether she was married or divorced.
But now, he suddenly wanted her to get a divorce.
Su ningmei paused for a while before saying,"I ... I have my own thoughts. I understand what you're saying. I'll think about it."
Xia Anlan saw that she was obviously unwilling to talk about this matter. He was suspicious. Could it be that she still had fantasies about her scumbag husband and still liked him?
"You ..."
Xia Anlan wanted to ask this question, but he swallowed the rest of his words after saying one word. He felt that it was not appropriate for him to ask this question.
"What's wrong?"
"It's fine. If you're tired, you can rest. It's late. Why don't you go upstairs to sleep first?"
"No, I'm not sleepy. Besides, with this massage technique, the effect will only be better if you massage me for more than ten minutes."
The two of them talked about other things. Xia Anlan knew that su ningmei did not want to talk about her marriage, so he changed the topic.
As she spoke, the original embarrassment and shyness in su ningmei's heart disappeared.
After massaging for half an hour, su ningmei's fingers were sore and in pain, as if they were about to be scrapped.
