CapĂtulo 1825: Chapter 1748: Headache
âHmm, delicious!â Wang Xinyi tasted a sip and made a playful face at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong sat across from Wang Xinyi with a smile, just watching.
âHmm? You only made one bowl?â Wang Xinyi asked.
âHmm⊠Whatâs left in your house is just enough for one bowlâŠâ Song Xiaodong said vaguely, smiling.
âOh⊠Sorry, I live alone and donât dare to buy too much food,â Wang Xinyi lowered her head.
âSo, have you eaten?â Wang Xinyi asked quietly, keeping her head down.
âI ate in the morning,â Song Xiaodong replied.
Wang Xinyi glanced at the clock above the door frame; it was already past eleven.
âThen, let me treat you to a meal,â Wang Xinyi said.
âNo rush, you drink the soup first.â
âOkay, I wonât be shy then!â
Wang Xinyi slurped the soup, not at all elegantly.
After drinking the soup, Wang Xinyi put the bowl in the sink without cleaning up, both of them resting on the sofa.
âHow are you feeling, any better?â Song Xiaodong asked.
âYes, much clearer now, but my head hurts a bit,â Wang Xinyi sat on the couch, holding her forehead with one hand.
âYour face is flushed; hope itâs not a cold,â Song Xiaodong said.
âImpossible, I practiced Qi Refinement from a young age and never catch a cold,â Wang Xinyi said.
âWhere does it hurt?â Song Xiaodong asked with concern.
âForehead, temples, it all hurts,â Wang Xinyi said.
âWant me to take a look?â Song Xiaodong asked.
âWhat do you know? Youâre not a physician,â Wang Xinyi thought Song Xiaodong might have other intentions, watching him warily.
âWhy am I not a physician? Not only am I one, Iâm a professor too,â Song Xiaodong was indeed truthful in his words.
âYou really know how to treat?â Wang Xinyi still didnât believe.
âIâm skilled in acupuncture and massage; headaches, migraines, menstrual pain, all cured with a touch.â
âWellâŠâ Wang Xinyi hesitated to speak.
âCome, let me press your acupoints,â Song Xiaodong offered willingly.
Wang Xinyi sat on the sofa, while Song Xiaodong stood behind the sofa backrest, pressing acupoints on her head.
Wang Xinyiâs hair was great; having practiced Qi Refinement from young age, she was rarely ill and quite healthy.
Song Xiaodongâs hands were large, hard, and rough, yet his movements were very gentle. His fingers combed through Wang Xinyiâs hair slowly, understanding her skull structure, then began searching for acupoints, massaging as he explained.
âBai Hui Point, the intersection of lines from the front to back of the head and the tips of the ears, massaging this can relieve headaches and faintness,â Song Xiaodong gently pressed and rubbed the top of Wang Xinyiâs head with his fingers, warmth spread, making her feel relaxed and refreshed.
âYintang Point, midpoint between the eyebrows, massaging here can relieve headaches and dizziness, and improve nasal congestion,â Song Xiaodong cradled Wang Xinyiâs head with his hands, pressing her Yintang Point lightly with two fingers, her entire back of the head leaning against his stomach, feeling his firm abs.
At midday, sunlight spilled onto the hardwood floor from above, and the clock on the door frame ticked softly.
Wang Xinyi had never let a man massage her before, never let anyone massage her at all.
The first massage, her bones loosened, brought an indescribable comfort.
Wang Xinyiâs breath calmed, feeling so comfortable she could almost fall asleep.
Having finished the good manâs part, now came the beastly part.
âTianzhu Point, hollow below the back of the neck, revitalizes and alleviates fatigue,â Song Xiaodong pressed Wang Xinyiâs neckâs hollow gently with his thumb, softly rubbing.
What he said about the Tianzhu Pointâs function was correct, but he didnât fully explain. In marital life, lightly massaging this point with the thumb can give women a tingling sensation akin to electricity.
Song Xiaodong started from Wang Xinyiâs inner eye corners, softly rubbing the skin to the cheekbones, gradually moving up to meet at the top of her head.
Wang Xinyi, inexperienced in worldly matters, was not fully aware of her bodyâs reactions, only felt a tingling sensation slowly spreading from the places Song Xiaodongâs thumb had touched, moving up to her scalp, neck, and back, mistakenly thinking it was revitalization, but her body was simply reacting.
Worried Wang Xinyi might become alert, Song Xiaodong kept the massage especially gentle, progressing step-by-step, gradually increasing.
The tingling atop Wang Xinyiâs head grew stronger, forming a rhythm with Song Xiaodongâs thumbs, fanning out from her head to her back and throughout her body like electricity.
âMr. Song wasnât lying to me; this acupoint massage is indeed effective,â Wang Xinyi said with her eyes closed, breathing slightly erratic, yet not imagining anything else, completely relaxed.
âGeyu Point, promotes blood flow, relaxes muscles.â
Having finished with the head acupoints, naturally he started massaging the bodyâs acupoints, smoothly transitioning without being awkward.
Geyu Points are in the hollow between the shoulder blades and spine, one on each side. Song Xiaodong massaged these points on Wang Xinyi, bringing her back a difficult-to-describe pleasure.
âIf you werenât a Qi Cultivator, I would use True Qi; your reaction would be greater,â Song Xiaodong thought as he massaged.
During the head massage, Wang Xinyi could feel a slight electric current-like sensation moving from her scalp down to her back along her skin.
But this time, with the back acupoint massage, it was different; the warm tingling pleasure didnât travel along the skin but moved inside swiftly, Wang Xinyi only felt a heat in her chest, spreading from her heart to around her body, from the chest to the navel, then to the thighs, and finally to her toes.
