"oh?"
Hearing Xia Wuyou say that, Xu Shi became interested, "How do you relax?"
"Well... I know a little massage technique that might help relieve fatigue?"
Xia Wuyou lowered her eyes and stammered, "Chairman Xu, would you...would you like to give it a try?"
"OK."
Xu Shi agreed readily. Of course, he was happy to accept such a thing. He took off his shirt without any hesitation, rolled over and lay on the sofa, letting her serve him.
Xia Wuyou paused for a moment, but then immediately rolled up her sleeves and began to massage him earnestly.
The truth is, she's really good at massage.
After all, she had a frail and sickly aunt to take care of. What Xu Shi didn't know was that in the first few years when the aunt and niece were displaced, Xia Ke'an was almost completely paralyzed in bed. She needed to maintain her physical activity in this way, which is how Xia Wuyou, the former heiress of a conglomerate, gradually mastered this skill.
However, she had never given a massage to anyone else before, and Xu Shi was honored to become the second person to do so.
Enjoying her delicate hands massaging me, I felt the fatigue gradually subside and I felt much more relaxed.
But what's even more amazing is...
"Did you... use some supernatural abilities to get in there?"
Xu Shi always felt that her technique was somewhat inexplicably wonderful, so he casually asked her about it.
"Um."
Xia Wuyou responded softly.
Was it intentional or accidental?
Xu asked with great interest.
"It was intentional."
Xia Wuyou nodded and explained, "I slightly reduced the surrounding gravity, so that..."
Xu Shi didn't pay much attention to the specific operational details, but undeniably, he found it very enjoyable, feeling almost ethereal, and was so lazy that he almost fell asleep again.
He never expected that his superpowers could have such a wonderful use; this was something he had never considered.
Is this force okay?
This was also the first time Xia Wuyou had given a massage to someone other than her aunt, so she cautiously asked another question.
"Not bad, at least I'm very satisfied."
Xu Shi buried his head in the sofa, his voice muffled, "If you have time in the future, could you give me a massage more often?"
"……OK."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wuyou stopped what she was doing, and after a moment she continued massaging. "But, isn't this kind of thing usually done by Director Su?"
"She would never do such a thing."
Xu Shi chuckled softly, his tone revealing neither complaint nor not.
But it's true, Su Lin really wouldn't offer to massage him or anything like that. Of course, it's possible that he didn't ask her to, and he'd never thought about it before... Maybe if he told her, she would? He'd better give it a try.
"Why do you ask that? Just because she pressed it doesn't mean you can't?"
He suddenly felt like teasing Xia Wuyou, and his words became a little flirtatious, "If all else fails, the two of you together shouldn't be a big problem?"
"A massage doesn't require two people, does it...?"
Xia Wuyou's voice became even softer upon hearing this, barely audible, and her face flushed slightly. She knew he wasn't saying anything serious, and naturally felt a little embarrassed.
Or perhaps she's always been shy in front of Xu Shi. In the past, it might have been because she resisted his coercion, but now... she's genuinely shy, or you could say she doesn't know how to face him.
At first glance, their relationship seemed to have warmed up quite a bit. She had even taken the initiative to ask for a hug before, but thinking about it later, it took a while of guidance before she felt comfortable saying it. Otherwise, she would rather keep it to herself than make such a request.
She has some internal conflict about this.
In general, it was due to a lack of experience that I couldn't distinguish whether my feelings toward Xu Shi were simply obedience or something more like affection.
She's never been in a relationship... Are you talking about her and Shen He when they were kids? That was just child's play, it's nowhere near that level.
Later, when her family fell into poverty, Xia Wuyou had no time for such things. The burden of life took up all her time, so she had no time to think about these trivial matters.
Even after she joined "Snake Ring," it was the same. She was never very sociable, and her interactions with colleagues were limited to work. There was no casual chatting or gossip, and no confidante to answer her questions.
Perhaps the only hope lies with Xia Ke'an? But unfortunately, the white-haired loli's usual social skills don't work on her, and besides, it seems like her aunt has never really been in a relationship...
The only advice she could give was to let her niece follow her heart and say whatever she felt; after all, it wasn't me who was struggling with the decision.
Xia Wuyou did as she was told; otherwise, she wouldn't have tentatively offered to massage Xu Shi earlier... She felt that she hadn't done anything for him proactively from the beginning until now, which she felt was inappropriate.
You say you just follow orders? That's just my job.
Besides that, all that's left is a verbal thank you, which doesn't seem quite enough, does it?
On the contrary, Xu Shi provided a lot of help, both in treating Xia Ke'an and later even standing in front of her to defuse Shen He's mental attack on her... The two were completely disproportionate.
This left her feeling very uncomfortable and confused.
What are you thinking about?
Xu Shi turned his head to look at her, vaguely sensing her thoughts. "Just say what you want to say. What's so hard about talking to me?"
Xia Wuyou's coyness was something he deeply understood; it had always been like this... Putting aside everything else, just take massages for example. He hadn't had many massages in this life, but he had in his past life. Let alone erotic massages, even vegetarian ones didn't seem to warrant such restraint. Just sitting cautiously to the side and that was it? Clearly, he had something on his mind that he couldn't get over.
It can only be said that sometimes you can tell a person's psychological state from their actions.
The only daring thing she did was rubbing her fingers together, but that was a special case, and she hasn't done it since.
"ah……"
Xia Wuyou was already in a state of confusion, and when he was suddenly asked this question, she lost her composure even more.
After stammering for a while, she finally managed to squeeze out this sentence.
"I heard from my aunt...that you're going to torture me?"
"..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
"……Ha ha ha ha!"
Xu Shi was stunned for a while before he realized what was happening and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
To be honest, this really ruins the atmosphere; it's hard not to laugh.
And it feels numb when you pinch it, auntie, are you really not trying to hide it from your niece?
Is this something I can say? I'll really spank you next time we meet!
Seeing his reaction, Xia Wuyou regretted it. What was wrong with her? Why did her brain always freeze at crucial moments?
Is this how you were when you faced Su Lin at the hospital last time, and now you're doing it again?
She even wondered if something was wrong with her and considered seeing a doctor.
However, Xu Shi didn't give her a chance to consider it.
"I'm not just going to torture you, I'm going to torture you terribly."
This guy is shameless; after hearing Xia Wuyou say that, he simply went along with it.
"So, what do you think, Team Leader Xia?"
