Jiangshi, an urban village.
"Hiss... Ah..."
From the small, dilapidated tile-roofed house came soft, seductive moans that stirred the imagination.
The owner of the voice seemed to be quite young, her soft, clear breaths carrying a touch of youthful awkwardness unique to adolescence.
If an unsuspecting passerby were to walk by, they would surely assume that some kind of secret, clandestine transaction was taking place here.
But in reality...
"How are you so good at massage? It feels amazing... I feel warm all over, what did you give me to drink?"
Jiang Yu lay on the bed, her face flushed. Perhaps it was because she had just taken a shower, which had opened all the pores on her body, and she felt a sense of ease welling up from the bottom of her heart.
I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time; it's as if even my numb legs are no longer a constraint.
I brewed some tea that can help improve blood circulation.
Xia Che massaged Jiang Yu's shoulders and casually said, "This tea is quite suitable for you. I'll write down the name for you later."
"That's amazing..."
Jiang Yu had no objection. She was naturally a bit cold-sensitive, and whether it was winter or summer, she could never warm up the bed, and her hands and feet were always cold.
After drinking Xia Che's tea, Jiang Yu found that she no longer had these symptoms, even though it tasted like just an ordinary cup of tea when she drank it.
How does this guy know so many strange and unusual things?
Jiang Yu glanced at Xia Che curiously. The longer she spent with Xia Che, the more curious she became about him.
Despite being about the same age as me, they seemed to know many things that I had never even heard of before.
Now, even my legs, which had been numb for many years, can be restored...
Is this guy really just a high school student?
"Your shoulders are very stiff, probably because you haven't exercised for years. Even if you can't move them, you can still do some upper body exercises. You should do more of these in the future, as they will help your legs recover."
Xia Che continued, "And... no more staying up late."
"Wow, you can even tell that?"
Jiang Yu was shocked.
She has trouble falling asleep. No matter how tired she is at night, she can't fall asleep when it's time to go to bed. Her mind is filled with all sorts of trivial things, like a PowerPoint presentation, one scene after another.
It wasn't that she wanted to stay up late, but rather that she was so bothered by these trivial matters that she couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to.
Over time, I got used to it.
"I can tell from your complexion. If you get enough sleep, you won't look like this now."
Xia Che smiled faintly, appreciating the admiration on Jiang Yu's face.
I learned all this knowledge from Su Miaorou.
When he was a child, if he couldn't learn these things, he would get a beating. In order to avoid being beaten, Xia Che learned a lot of miscellaneous knowledge.
Although learning a lot may result in being a jack of all trades and master of none, it is sufficient for massage and simple body conditioning.
It's definitely more reliable than those traditional Chinese medicine doctors in advertisements.
"The tea I recommended to you also has a calming effect. Drinking this whenever you have time should help you sleep."
After Xia Che finished massaging the last part of his body, he stretched comfortably, stood up and said, "Alright, I should go back now. You should be feeling a little sleepy now, so just sleep. No need to see me off."
"Huh? It's over already?"
Jiang Yu felt that Xia Che's massage made her feel so comfortable that she felt like she was floating on air, and now that it was suddenly over, she felt a little reluctant to let it go.
If only I could press it a little longer...
"Yes, there aren't many places that need to be pressed. It's just to stimulate the acupoints on your legs so that they can absorb more of the medicinal bath's effects. Pressing too much won't do any good."
Xia Che touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Next time... how about a week later? I'll come and massage you again next weekend. At this rate, you should recover in about a month."
"One...one month?!"
Jiang Yu's eyes widened. Those eyes, which anyone would find absolutely beautiful, were now staring wide-eyed, her face filled with shock.
My own legs...
Will it recover in another month?
So fast?!
Jiang Yu was stunned that her long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled so easily. The surprise came so suddenly that she was a little dizzy and could hardly believe it.
"What's wrong? Is it too slow?"
Xia Che frowned slightly: "But this is already the fastest speed. After all, your legs didn't just lose feeling recently. Over the years, the muscles need to be awakened slowly. If it's any faster, I'm worried it might cause some hidden dangers."
However, it's not entirely incomprehensible. Jiang Yu has been troubled by her legs for so long, and now that she has suddenly heard the news that she can recover, her eagerness is hard to contain...
That's understandable.
"No...no! It's not slow! It's already very fast."
Jiang Yu was so surprised that she couldn't utter a coherent sentence. She waved her hands repeatedly and shook her head like a rattle drum, "I'm just... a little too surprised."
She lowered her head and murmured.
"I see...that's good."
Xia Che suddenly realized, then smiled gently. Looking at Jiang Yu's adorable appearance, he couldn't help but reach out and pat her head: "I promised you, those cold days... will never come back."
"Um!"
For no apparent reason, Jiang Yu suddenly felt like crying. She clenched her teeth and nodded emphatically.
In the short span of her life, the first half was full of twists and turns, and it was too bitter and too cold.
Fortunately, fate doesn't let someone be unlucky forever.
When Jiang Yu turned eighteen, she received the two most important pieces of good news in her life.
My legs have recovered.
besides……
She met Xia Che.
Everything will turn out well in the end; the reason it isn't yet is because it's not the end.
Jiang Yu sniffed and smiled sweetly, "I understand, you can go back now."
"good."
Xia Che waved his hand, turned around, yawned, and then walked towards the entrance.
He's not the kind of person who likes to refuse.
Xia Che is indeed very tired after working all day.
What he wants most right now is to go home, take a nice, relaxing shower, and then collapse onto the bed and sleep soundly until the world ends.
"Um... will you come again tomorrow? I think you have tutoring today? I completely forgot..."
Suddenly, Jiang Yu's timid voice came from behind, sounding somewhat embarrassed.
"sure."
Xia Che stopped, turned around, and smiled gently.
"Then I'll wait for you."
Jiang Yu felt a sweet warmth in her heart when her beloved did not refuse. She didn't even know where to put her hands. She obediently watched Xia Che walk to the entrance, then opened the door and went out.
Snap—
The soft sound of the door closing quietly opened the door to the girl's heart.
