The Beautiful Time With You

A moment later, she began carefully massaging the dit da jow onto his bruises.

Her hands were very soft, and her movements were gentle as well. While her touch on his bruises did sting a little, what Lin Jiage felt more was a numbing sensation reminiscent of a mild electric shock.

Lin Jiage felt his throat constrict, and his body began to tighten uncontrollably.

Sensing his abnormal reaction, Shi Yao immediately paused her actions in fright, "Am I hurting you?"

But at that moment, Lin Jiage's mind was entirely consumed by that pair of small hands moving gently around his back. He was silent for a short moment before lightly shaking his head, "No…"

"Oh…" Shi Yao replied. On the inside, however, she thought that Lin Jiage might just be holding back, not daring to admit his pain so he could preserve his dignity as a man in front of her. Thus, her hands became even gentler.

And to Lin Jiage, her current movements were even more torturous to him.

But amidst this 'suffering' and 'torture', his lips were slowly edging upward into a smile.

His back was against her, so she couldn't see his face. Nevertheless, he still couldn't help but bury his face into his pillow. At the same time, a tinge of red was slowly spreading up his white ears.

The smell of dit da jow permeated the entire room. Other than her softly asking "Does it hurt" and "Is this fine", and his "It doesn't hurt" and "It's fine" responses, there were no additional sounds to be heard in the room.

Sometime later, Shi Yao said softly, "Alright, I'm done." She then stepped away from Lin Jiage's body and went into the bathroom.

Lin Jiage, who seemed to have held his breath the entire time, was silent for a moment before he finally recovered from that indescribable 'torture' he had been in. He heaved a long sigh of relief.

Is this the surprise that Lin Jiayi prepared for me?

It wasn't too bad after all… It wasn't cheap, but I feel like it was money well spent…

With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage couldn't help remembering the sensation of Shi Yao's hands moving across his back, and the corners of his lips began edging upward once more.

At this moment, Shi Yao returned from the bathroom. She recalled that the bedsheets were stained while she was applying dit da jow on Lin Jiage's back, so she asked, "Umm, Sis Jiayi accidentally poured too much dit da jow on you, and some of it ended up spilling on the bed. Why don't I help you change your bedsheets?"

Upon hearing Shi Yao's voice, Lin Jiage immediately raised his hand to cover his lips. It took a while before he managed to force his smile back in, and with a placid voice, he replied, "Alright."

Then, he paused for a moment before adding, "The bedsheets are in my changing room."

Shi Yao replied with an "Okay", then headed to the changing room. She came out hugging a fresh set of bedsheets.

When Shi Yao reached the corner of the bed, Lin Jiage attempted to get up so she could change the bedsheets. But as soon as he moved, he suddenly froze in place.

He hadn't noticed a thing while he was lying down, but the moment he tried to get up, he realized that his body had actually reacted…

Lin Jiage immediately closed his eyes and tried his best to calm the heat inside him.

On the other hand, seeing how Lin Jiage had suddenly frozen up in the middle of his action, Shi Yao thought that a sudden pang of pain might have rendered him immobile. She tossed the fresh bedsheets onto the sofa before walking over to his side. "Are you in pain? Let me help you up."

As she spoke, Shi Yao reached forward to support Lin Jiage's arm.

On the other hand, Lin Jiage had just barely managed to suppress that little bit of heat within him when Shi Yao suddenly touched him. In an instant, it was as if oil had been furiously poured onto the flames inside him, causing his reaction to intensify.

Lin Jiage reflexively waved his hands, wanting to avoid Shi Yao's arm. But in a moment of anxiety, he accidentally used too much force and pushed Shi Yao backward. Fearing that she would fall down, he quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her in his direction, and in the next moment, her entire body fell into his embrace…
