Li Baolong sat on the sofa in the outer room, his thoughts drifting away. He recalled when he first shared an apartment with Jiang Xiaomei, he only thought of her as a somewhat carefree and beautiful woman. At that time, he was preoccupied with his studies and life, and his only impression of her was that of his cousin's wife.
Hearing the seductive voice coming from the private room, he felt a strange pang of heartache. He began to realize that Jiang Xiaomei's allure was not just simple charm, but also the result of her silent sacrifices for survival and her family.
After Jiang Xiaomei saw the guests off, Li Baolong carefully observed her. Under the lamplight, her face showed signs of fatigue. "You must be tired," Li Baolong said softly, his voice filled with genuine concern. Jiang Xiaomei was slightly taken aback, a hint of shame flashing in her eyes.
Baolong, little brother, how about I give you another massage? Look at you, you've run so far today, your feet must be so sore! Come on, let me give you a foot bath and a shoulder massage to relax you. Besides, there aren't many customers in the shop right now, so I'll just close the door and we can have a quiet chat.
Upon hearing this, Li Baolong quickly shook his head and said, "Oh dear, sister, isn't this inappropriate? You've already worked so hard, how can I let you suffer any more?" Jiang Xiaomei smiled nonchalantly and replied, "What's inappropriate about it? Back in the day, I used to give you massages all the time! You were just a little kid then, and now you've grown into a big young man in just two years. Are you shy or something?" With that, she closed the shop door without another word and pulled Li Baolong towards the small private room inside.
Upon entering the private room, Jiang Xiaomei deftly brought over a full bucket of hot water, in which many fresh mugwort herbs were soaking. As she gently placed the water in front of Li Baolong, she explained with a smile, "Brother Baolong, soaking your feet in mugwort water is so comfortable! It not only helps relieve fatigue but also gets rid of foot odor. I guarantee you'll feel completely refreshed afterward!"
Li Baolong's feelings for Jiang Xiaomei had gradually evolved from a simple friendship into a complex mix of admiration, heartache, and dependence. He began to look forward to every moment spent with her, whether it was a simple meal or cooking at home. He knew that Jiang Xiaomei had already taken a place in his heart, and this feeling continued to grow and change with their interactions, like a new bud quietly sprouting in spring, growing stronger without him even realizing it. Now, when Li Baolong faced Jiang Xiaomei, he felt a little flustered, but also filled with anticipation and longing.
Just as Li Baolong was lost in thought, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out, abruptly pulling him back to reality. The owner of the voice was none other than Jiang Xiaomei. She said to Li Baolong in a coquettish tone, "Hurry up and lie down, I'll give you a massage to relax!"
Hearing this, Li Baolong didn't hesitate at all and obediently lay down on the bed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze unconsciously falling on Jiang Xiaomei. Jiang Xiaomei had already taken off her heavy coat, revealing her graceful, voluptuous, and alluring figure. Especially her high, firm breasts, which seemed ready to burst forth at any moment, exuded an irresistible charm. Li Baolong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This woman is truly a bewitching enchantress!"
Jiang Xiaomei's small, snow-white hands, as white as mutton fat jade, moved like light butterflies over Li Baolong's firm body. Each gentle touch seemed to carry a jolt of electricity, making Li Baolong feel a tingling, itchy sensation all over his body, a wonderful feeling that was hard to describe welling up in his heart.
At this moment, Li Baolong finally couldn't help but speak up: "Sister Mei, why haven't you found someone to marry and start a family yet? I remember clearly that you are almost 24 years old this year, which is five years older than me!" As he spoke, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a curious and concerned gaze.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaomei's face showed a bitter smile, and she sighed softly, "Brother Baolong, how could I not want to find a good husband? It's just a pity that with the job I do, what good man would be willing to be with me? Sigh... In a few days, when I've saved enough money, I'll go back to our hometown, find an honest and decent man to marry, and just make do with whatever I can find." Her tone revealed a deep sense of helplessness and uncertainty about the future.
Hearing this, Li Baolong hurriedly shook his head and said repeatedly, "Oh, Sister Mei, you mustn't be so self-degrading! With your beauty and charm, there must be countless good men who would like you!" He looked at Jiang Xiaomei with sincerity, his eyes full of tenderness.
Jiang Xiaomei burst into laughter at Li Baolong's words, her laughter as beautiful and charming as a spring flower in full bloom. She blinked her bright eyes and asked coquettishly, "Then, little brother Baolong, do you like someone like me?" After saying that, she gently patted Li Baolong's shoulder.
Li Baolong was taken aback at first, then laughed and answered without hesitation, "Of course I like you! Actually, I had a crush on you the first time I saw you!" His words were frank and direct, without any pretense.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaomei's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile. She teased him coquettishly, "Oh dear, what if a few years later, and I still haven't found my Mr. Right? Then you'll have to come and be my husband!" After saying this, she deliberately winked and looked at Li Baolong with a face full of anticipation.
