She never expected him to take the initiative and make such a request after she took advantage of him during the day. A sudden awkwardness came over her when she saw Ye Lingchen’s eyes.
“Come here. Let’s hurry up and get the massage over with. It’ll stop others from seeing us.” Ye Lingchen beckoned Hu Yue’er over.
“Do you hate being with me that much?” Hu Yue’er could not resist asking.
She was taken aback as soon as she asked that question. Why did it feel as though they were lovers flirting with each other?
Quickly, she continued, “Mm, my pain feels really awful. I need your help.”
Ye Lingchen nodded. “Your problem is more serious. Are you usually a workaholic?”
He placed his hand on Hu Yue’er’s lower abdomen as he spoke and began to massage slowly. Traces of Qi that he refined were also slowly entering her body.
Hu Yue’er maintained her body well and had a perfect figure. She could be described as having the golden ratio.
“Sigh, I can’t help it. We look beautiful, but it’s other people who make arrangements for us before informing us. We can’t do anything about it. We might have to continue shooting some scenes in the middle of the night, or we might sometimes have to endure the cold and jump into a river.” Hu Yue’er sighed and lamented, “It’s even worse if you have to act out a fight. It’s common to have scars and bruises on your body.”
After that, she closed her eyes in satisfaction and her face gradually became ruddy. She remarked, “Your massage technique is really good. It feels so good and so warm.”
“You’ve succumbed to an incurable illness and it will continue to hurt. If you don’t pay more attention, your body will collapse sooner or later.” Ye Lingchen then reminded, “When you get old, you’ll not only have a bad physique, but your entire body will start aching. You’ll be drained of energy after just taking a couple of steps.”
“Then when I get sick, you can help me to massage it away.” Hu Yue’er looked at Ye Lingchen with her beautiful eyes and could not help but speak profoundly.
“Dream on. I’m no one to you. Why should I keep massaging you?” Ye Lingchen blurted out without thinking.
Hu Yue’er’s face turned stiff. She was so angry that she could not even speak. He was truly an unromantic, steely straight man! He would forever be a single dog!
Upstairs, a shadow loomed on the railing and stared below.
Zhao Liangying’s face turned sullen. She looked at Hu Yue’er and was incredibly irritated, almost to the point of exploding.
‘Vixen! Seductress! shameless!’
Deep in her heart, she uttered out almost every curse she could think. She was thoroughly incensed.
Recalling the look in Hu Yue’er’s eyes before she went out, Zhao Liangying finally understood that it was a blatant demonstration of power!
Her small face was full of convoluted expressions, then—as if she had a sudden moment of clarity—she finally made up her mind and headed downstairs.
Whenever Sister Feifei was with Zhao Liangying, she often mentioned Ye Lingchen’s name. The love and admiration in Sister’s Feifei’s eyes were evident, so there was no way Zhao Liangying could watch Ye Lingchen being seduced by other women.
No way! Absolutely not!
Zhao Liangying felt that she had good enough reasons. She had to forge ahead for the sake of Sister Feifei’s future!
Tap, tap, tap!
Zhao Liangying walked downstairs, and as an actor, her acting skills were executed to its fullest. She yawned, then looked at Ye Lingchen and Hu Yue’er in ‘surprise’.
“Eh? Why are you two here? Aren’t you asleep?”
“Hu Yue’er’s body isn’t feeling well, so I’m helping to relieve it,” Ye Lingchen explained.
“Oh, I see.” Zhao Liangying nodded nonchalantly, then seemed to think of something. “God Ye, your medical skills are so amazing and you’ve checked my illness last time too. Can you treat me as well?”
“You want me to treat you too?” Ye Lingchen looked at her.
“Yeah.” Zhao Liangying nodded and looked at Ye Lingchen pitifully. “I didn’t eat much for dinner today. I felt much better after eating the porridge you cooked last time, but I still don’t have much strength.”
“Okay. When I finish giving Hu Yue’er her massage, I’ll help you again.” Ye Lingchen nodded.
Whether he was massaging one person or two, it was still massaging all the same, so there was no difference.
He did not notice the secret enmity and turbulent undercurrent between the two women.
Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying stared at each other and exchanged hostile looks.
Both of them found each other thoroughly unpleasant, so they sneered in their hearts, ‘Heh, she really knows how to pretend!’
“God Ye, how about you teach me how to massage? That way, I’ll feel a bit better the next time I get sick.” Hu Yue’er whispered and she used her hands to cover Ye Lingchen’s hands.
Ye Lingchen’s hairs were standing on end and he did not know what to do. ‘What the f*ck is that woman trying to suggest? Does she have other intentions toward me?’
“God Ye, you’ve been helping her massage for so long. It’s my turn. I can’t sleep at night and it’s so uncomfortable.”
Zhao Liangying grabbed Ye Lingchen’s other hand and shot a goading look at Hu Yue’er.
“Mm, it’s done.” Ye Lingchen nodded, then took his hand from Hu Yue’er’s body. He then said to Zhao Liangying, “Lift your feet.”
“Left my feet?” Zhao Liangying looked at Ye Lingchen in confusion. “Aren’t you going to massage my stomach?”
Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly at her and shook his head. “Your illness is different from hers. Why do I need to massage your stomach?”
He then placed Zhao Liangying’s feet in front of him.
They were very small and incredibly beautiful.
Zhao Liangying’s face blushed immediately. She was very bold when she provoked Hu Yue’er, but at that point, she felt very shy.
Ye Lingchen ignored her and raised his hand to begin massaging her feet.
“Your body is very weak, your appetite is poor, and you have low energy. Massaging the acupoints on your feet is the most effective,” Ye Lingchen said.
“Whoa, it’s really comfortable.” Zhao Liangying’s eyes closed slightly and she could not help but exclaim.
“Hmph, vixen!”
Hu Yue’er pursed her lips and did not leave. She was worried about leaving those two people alone.
“God Ye, is it okay if you keep massaging me in the future?” Zhao Liangying winked at Ye Lingchen.
“It’s not okay.” Ye Lingchen refused without hesitation.
Those two women were never content and always made such excessive demands on him.
‘Is this a free massage? Where’s your sincerity?’
“God Ye, is there a way to cure my illness?” Zhao Liangying asked.
“As long as it’s an illness, there will naturally be a way to cure it. What’s important is finding the right method,” Ye Lingchen said.
“How about mine?” Hu Yue’er looked at Ye Lingchen in anticipation.
Ye Lingchen nodded. “In fact, your illness cannot be considered serious or not serious, because this kind of illness does not require surgery. It won’t cause a great impact on the body within a short time, but this illness is difficult to cure and the incubation period is very long. Many people are unsure where to start.”
“God Ye, you can cure it, can’t you?” Zhao Liangying and Hu Yue’er held each one of Ye Lingchen’s arms.
“I’ve already said in the morning that diet therapy is the best way to cure many illnesses, as long as the right medicine is used…”
