Chapter 151: Let Me Give You a Massage
After touring the school, everyone went to the city center together to shop and have fun. During this time, Mei Fang clearly sensed that Xia Yuans behavior was a bit off after they took pictures together.
She would intentionally or unintentionally lean towards him, but it wasnt as natural as before when she used to link her arm with his.
During their meal together, she would prop her chin on her hand and stare at Mei Fang. When their eyes met, she would pretend to look at the scenery elsewhere.
They had known each other for over 10 years as childhood sweethearts. Could Mei Fang not figure out Xia Yuans little thoughts?
It must be this Peng Xue girl whispering something in her ear again
Mei Fang pretended not to know for now. After all, Xia Yuan couldnt hide her thoughts with her personality. She would surrender within a day. If he cared too much, it might lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
Everyone had a great time eating and drinking outside, and then they took a taxi back together. During the entire time, Mei Fang was the one paying.
By the way, how much money have we spent since yesterday? Mei Fang, do you have the total amount? Yue Xinyi reminded Mei Fang. Lets share the bill and split the costs.
Oh? About that Lets forget about the expenses, Mei Fang waved his hand and smiled. Youve come all the way to Jiangcheng. I should be the one treating you well. After all, youve helped a lot with the games.
I feel embarrassed hearing you say that You did all the work for the game, not me, Yue Xinyi said.
Peng Xue joined the conversation, Its better to calculate the expenses. Were all students; no ones money falls from the sky.
If you all think so, then I wont insist, Mei Fang said.
For Mei Fang, taking these girls out was just a small expense, but he admired their sensible attitude.
Lets split the bill equally this time.
Mei Fang reminded Lin Youxi in a low voice to help calculate the expenses, but they could discreetly exclude the taxi fare to alleviate the burden on the truly financially constrained students.
Most of the time, Mei Fang managed the finances of his business on his own and sometimes it gave him a headache.
He definitely preferred to have his trusted confidant handle the teams finances, but if he let Lin Youxi take full responsibility, he would feel like her talents were being underutilized.
Of course, Mei Fang and the others still had some time before officially establishing a real company, so there was no rush. Perhaps when he went to university, he would have to study some finance-related knowledge himself.
After returning from their outing, everyone collapsed on the couch, looking exhausted.
Quickly go take a shower and go to bed. We have a music festival to attend tomorrow, and its quite a distance away, Xia Yuan urged everyone to hurry up and wash.
You guys are so energetic now. When you reach my age, youll know how enjoyable it is to stay in a hotel and eat and drink for three days without bothering to visit any tourist attractions, Mei Fang replied.
Um, Mei Fang, why do you sound like a useless middle-aged uncle whos lost in life? Yue Xinyi made a disgusted expression.
I have a cousin whos just like what you described. When he went to Luoyang City last time, he stayed in a hotel with his friends for a few days and then went back home. It really made me laugh, Yue Xinyi added.
Alright, alright Well talk about that and save the laughter for later.
Peng Xue saw Lin Youxi entering the bathroom with clothes in hand and then nudged Yue Xinyi, saying, Lets go to our room and rest!
Why not just rest here in the living room? Whats the point of going to the room so early? Yue Xinyi questioned.
Hey, just go to the room when I asked so. I have something to talk to you about, Peng Xue dragged Yue Xinyi, who was puzzled, into the small room, and before leaving, she winked at Xia Yuan.
Its just I feel I feel like youre just going through the motions when you replenish your energy now, Xia Yuan muttered. Youre not as enthusiastic as before.
Thats because Im exhausted today. And even though Im so tired, Im still willing to be close to you, which shows that I like doing this with you, okay?
Xia Yuan immediately blushed upon hearing Mei Fangs explanation.
I-It has been really tough today Actually, you didnt really want to go out shopping, right? We forced you to come out and play. Im sorry to have put you through this.
Its not that bad Its not like I can just stay at home all the time
In consideration of how tired you are, let me help you relax a bit!
Help me relax?
Seeing how tired you are, let me give you a massage!
A massage?
Xia Yuan cupped Mei Fangs cheeks and said, You know, Ah Fang, Im really good at giving shoulder massages! I used to help my mom and dad with shoulder and leg massages all the time. Dad especially liked it when I massaged his back.
Is that true? Its the first time Ive heard you mention it.
Of course, its true! Dont believe me? Let me show you my skills!
Xia Yuan then sat on Mei Fangs lap, facing him, and proceeded to loosen his shoulders.
How is it? My technique is pretty good, right?
To be honest, I cant really feel it.
Mei Fang reminded her, You need to apply more pressure; otherwise, I wont feel it in my shoulders and back.
Being denied in her area of expertise, Xia Yuan naturally felt indignant.
Then like this?
Its slightly better.
Like this like this like this!
Oh, oh! Thats it, that right there
Clearly enjoying the massage, Mei Fang shifted his body, moving away from Xia Yuan and leaning onto the couch. You can step on my back.
S-Stepdirectly on it? Arent you afraid that Ill hurt you?
Its fine. My back needs that kind of pressure.
Mei Fang patted his back, signaling Xia Yuan to hurry up. Come on, Yuan Yuan, dont dawdle.
A-Alright
Xia Yuan debated for a long time whether to take off her socks, but finally decided to step on Mei Fangs back barefoot.
