Chapter 300 - 0192 Seniority can be drawn from other places

After a busy day, it’s natural to need relaxation.

For Xu Chang’an, in his past life when he was tired, he would return to his place, brew a cup of coffee, and sit on a massage chair to enjoy fifteen minutes of relaxation, which was an excellent way to unwind.

But in this world, his solitary abode unexpectedly became a "home," coffee turned into spring tea bitter brew, sweet Jade Dew wine, and massages transformed from self-enjoyment for fifteen minutes into massaging his wife, starting conservatively at a quarter of an hour.

"Fate plays tricks, I really like it." Xu Chang’an stood by the couch, exerting force with his hands, bending down to approach Yun Qian, covering his lips with his palm, and whispered softly in Yun Qian’s ear, "Miss, is the pressure suitable?"

"...Mm." Yun Qian replied with a soft, slightly lazy tone. At that moment, she was lying down with her head resting on her left hand, her eyes squinting, right hand tightly gripping her dress hem, leaving folds in her clothes.

Seeing this, Xu Chang’an couldn’t help but laugh.

Recalling many years ago on the island, at that time, Yun Qian was still the unattainable, expressionless fairy in his heart.

But when he boldly attempted to massage Yun Qian, what he saw was such a gentle, even somewhat adorable woman.

"Perhaps it was from then that I realized Miss wasn’t unattainable." Xu Chang’an’s lips curled into a comfortable arc.

"Wha-what do you mean?" Yun Qian was a bit puzzled.

"Miss doesn’t need to understand." Xu Chang’an thought that Miss Yun was usually very tired, so when she relaxed, she was defenseless.

"Mm." Yun Qian responded.

Miss Yun was like Mao’Er.

Cats seem aloof, but once touched, they change immediately.

Perhaps, he liked Xiaohua because of the connection to Miss Yun.

So was Xiaohua a substitute for Yun Qian when she’s not around?

Xu Chang’an shook his head.

No, it wasn’t.

Xiaohua was indeed much clingier than Miss Yun.

At this moment, Yun Qian tilted her head, regaining some clarity, and said, "Why did you originally... start reading books on massage and acupuncture?"

"Didn’t I say, back then, I was freeloading at Miss’s place." Xu Chang’an applied a bit more pressure and then said, "Plus, Miss’s health was so poor, that’s why I thought to read some books."

Xu Chang’an spoke with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "When I first started reading, I didn’t expect... the effect to be this good."

Yun Qian tried once and soon liked it.

"I do like it." Yun Qian thought that this method allowed Xu Chang’an at that time to touch her without hesitation, without needing "restraint," how could she not like it?

"Indeed, with massages, even if the positions aren’t precise, as long as the pressure is right, a simple pressing can be very effective." Xu Chang’an nodded, asking, "After all these years, doesn’t Miss think my massage skills have improved?"

"Have... they?" Yun Qian was stunned.

"Haven’t they?" Xu Chang’an was also stunned.

"I..." Yun Qian quickly realized she said something wrong.

Just like affection reaching its limit, no further overflow is meaningful, her liking for Xu Chang’an’s technique had reached the highest point. Whether he’s progressed or not... how could Yun Qian understand such things?

Just like Xu Chang’an said, even if he didn’t know anything, as long as he pressed firmly a few times, she would like it very much.

"...Miss." Xu Chang’an sighed, suddenly feeling a bit defeated.

So, in Yun Qian’s heart, his current mastery was the same as the clueless pressing from back then?

Being Xu Chang’an, this feeling of defeat soon turned into an upward emotion.

"Miss, can I take this as you... challenging me?" Xu Chang’an smiled gently.

This gentle smile made Yun Qian feel quite odd, her heart slightly skipped, erupting with an indescribable feeling.

Yun Qian thought carefully and concluded it was "anticipation."

Xu Chang’an was normally reluctant to bother her, which was restraint and formality.

But it seemed with massage, he wouldn’t restrain— massages were on the couch, very comfortable, very tiring, she wouldn’t be able to stand up.

Yun Qian thought of something strange.

"I’m not challenging." Yun Qian stated truthfully, she could feel Xu Chang’an’s gaze.

But Xu Chang’an didn’t give Yun Qian a chance to speak, he looked at Miss Yun’s back, rubbed his hands warm, and placed them on her back, at this moment his palm carried warm Water Spiritual Power, instantly igniting a wave of warm water vapor against Yun Qian’s back.

Despite being "underestimated" all these years of diligent study, Xu Chang’an still worked progressively.

He gently pressed on Yun Qian’s back with his hand.

"Miss, you sit too long usually, I’ll help you loosen your muscles." Xu Chang’an suddenly proceeded, tapping Yun Qian’s shoulder, neck a few times in succession.

"Tsk..." Yun Qian’s eyes opened briefly, but quickly closed again, she vaguely felt something wasn’t quite right, and softly said, "Seems like... your mood is quite good today."

"Hard not to be." Xu Chang’an’s thumb pressed on Yun Qian’s shoulder, his fingertip glowing with a watery light, then he pressed downward, followed by a swift twist.

"Ugh!"

Yun Qian slapped the couch wood beside, without saying a word.

"With Madam Li and Senior Zhu helping, my heart isn’t burdened with matters, naturally mood will be good." Xu Chang’an spoke earnestly.

"Just that?"

"Just that." Xu Chang’an said, thinking of course it wasn’t just that.

Whenever he thought about cultivating the cultivation technique with Yun Qian, a strange feeling arose.

Though reasonable... as a man, there’s always some joy, but when thinking that Yun Qian was his wife, such joy inevitably carried some inept gentlemanly... scrutiny.

Xu Chang’an knew his own dark side best.

He normally wouldn’t bother Yun Qian, but once cultivation began, it would be by decree... hmm.

The closeness at that time, could even be under the banner for Miss Yun’s benefit.

How could there be such good fortune in the world?

For a moment, Xu Chang’an even felt perhaps heaven had gone mad, and if he deserved such good fortune, maybe it was because he saved the world in a past life, or the one before that?

——

"Sitting for so long usually, indeed should loosen the muscles..." Xu Chang’an released his hand, giving Yun Qian a moment of adjustment.

Sweat beads had already formed on Yun Qian’s face, she turned over, "Madam Li..."

"Call her sister." Xu Chang’an reminded Yun Qian, "Madam calls you younger sister."

With the Madam helping them so much, this relationship... Xu Chang’an would indeed maintain for Madam.

Even if he referred to Madam as such, Yun Qian called her sister, this instantly changed Yun Qian’s generation.

But Xu Chang’an was also required to call Zhu Pingniang sister, Zhu Pingniang and Li Zhibai were sisters, so... his rank could be elevated with Yun Qian through Zhu Pingniang.

That’s how he calculated it, so it didn’t obstruct.
