Chapter 126: Chapter 117: How About I Give You Some Benefits?

Xiao Ran: "????"

His eyes shot open in surprise.

’A massage? In... bed?’

Her request, made inside his room, jolted Xiao Ran wide awake. He decisively asked for more details, "Elaborate!"

"Um, I want to give you a hand massage."

After she spoke, the girl subconsciously swallowed.

She was staring at his hands as if they were some delicious treat.

Xiao Ran’s fingers twitched instinctively.

He had thought she meant a back massage or something. He never expected it to be his hands.

He pursed his lips. "Fine."

’It’s better than nothing,’ he thought. ’A hand massage is still a massage.’

Having gotten his permission, Yan Xici’s eyes lit up with joy. "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re very comfortable!"

’I’m really good at giving massages, you know!’

’No matter what part of the body, I’m an expert!’

Yan Xici decisively placed her laptop on the headboard, then sat down next to Xiao Ran in a W-sitting position and took his hand.

She seemed to worry that it would be uncomfortable for him to hold his arm up like that. After a moment’s thought, she placed his hand on her own pale thigh, using her leg as a cushion. ’This should be much more comfortable, right?’

Everyone knows that a girl’s legs are beautiful, but they aren’t just beautiful—they’re also incredibly nice to touch.

Especially when her skin was already so good, so tender it looked like you could squeeze water from it. The moment Xiao Ran’s hand rested on it, he suddenly felt this massage had become much more interesting.

Her glistening eyes shone with a serious light. "Is this position okay?"

Xiao Ran swallowed. "It is."

’Honestly, if I were the one massaging a leg like this, that would be true comfort.’

But again, it was better than nothing.

Besides, he’d never had a finger massage before. And of all his body parts, the ones that got the most exercise every day were definitely his hands.

He typed over ten thousand characters a day, and each character required five or six keystrokes to produce. By that count, his fingers probably made fifty or sixty thousand movements every day, and that wasn’t even including other tasks.

’My hands really do work hard.’

"I’ll start then." After speaking, the girl curled two of her fingers, clamped them around one of Xiao Ran’s, and began pushing upward from the base with even pressure.

She only gave it a gentle tug when she reached the fingertip. Her control over the pressure was perfect—not too light, not too heavy.

Almost instantly, Xiao Ran started to relax.

He had to admit, it really was comfortable.

Seeing the expression on his face begin to soften slightly, the girl let out a small sigh of relief. ’Honestly, I was so afraid I wouldn’t do a good job and Brother Xiao Ran wouldn’t let me massage him anymore.’

’Opportunities to openly play with his hands like this are rare. I have to seize this one!’

With that thought, she massaged Xiao Ran’s fingers with even more dedication. From the pinky to the thumb, she meticulously stretched each finger, then threaded her own fingers into the gaps between his.

With their fingers interlaced, she gently pressed against his knuckles in the opposite direction. This was another type of stretch, which not only relaxed the fingers but also the wrist.

Xiao Ran had only known that Yan Xici was skilled at applying medicine and massaging legs, but he never expected the girl to have such rich experience with hand massages too.

It was unbelievably comfortable.

She massaged both of his hands for about forty minutes.

Xiao Ran felt so comfortable that his nerves began to walk on clouds.

’A multi-talented girl like this... I have to keep her by my side for a lifetime.’

’Otherwise, it would be a huge loss.’

Now, the more he understood how wonderful Yan Xici was, the stronger Xiao Ran’s desire to be with her forever became.

Meanwhile, Yan Xici had been playing with his hands for a good half-hour and felt incredibly satisfied.

Especially when her fingertips roamed over his hand, the sense of fulfillment made her feel so happy she could fly. It was as if she could never get enough of touching them.

She stretched lazily. "Alright, massage complete. Now I need to rest a bit."

Her meaning couldn’t have been more obvious. ’I just gave you a massage, so it’s only fair that I get to laze around in your arms for a while as a reward, right?’

"Yeah, you worked hard." Taking the hint, Xiao Ran opened his arms. But who would have thought that at that exact moment, his alarm went off.

It was time for work.

The girl pouted, her expression full of dissatisfaction. ’How could this happen!’

’He got to feel good, but I haven’t yet!’

She blinked her glistening eyes, looking at Xiao Ran reluctantly. "Are you leaving already?"

’This is too soon! I haven’t even started yet, how can it be over?!’

Xiao Ran stretched comfortably. "No choice, I have to go to work."

’To be honest, she’s made me so drowsy I really don’t want to go at all.’

But there was no choice. He still had to go slack off at his job; otherwise, where would the money to live on come from?

Seeing this, the girl pouted her soft lips and rubbed her small body against his arm. "Mmm, I don’t want you to go..."

The girl was still in her W-sitting position. As Xiao Ran was about to leave, her once straight, lovely shoulders slumped dejectedly. That, combined with her expression, was enough to make Xiao Ran’s heart melt.

"How about... I give you a little treat?"

?

Yan Xici’s brows twitched.

’Those words sound familiar. Is he going to kiss me?’

At the thought, her heart couldn’t help but start pounding faster.

Before she could react, Xiao Ran had already sat up, pulled Yan Xici’s small frame into his arms, and placed a kiss as light as a dragonfly skimming water on the spot between her eyebrows.

Kissing was the most direct way to show affection.

The moment his body drew near, the girl felt her breath catch in her throat.

’His lips are so warm. When they touched my forehead, my mind instinctively went blank.’

This... this was already their second kiss today.

’Let’s see, they’ve only been together for two days, and they’re already kissing... D-does that mean in a few more days, they’ll really be having a baby?’

Yan Xici suddenly grew nervous at the thought.

’Waah, things are moving so fast. It’s so exciting~’

"Alright, I’m off. You be good at home, wait for me to come back."

After speaking, Xiao Ran decisively got out of bed and put on his shoes. The girl couldn’t believe he was already at the door and about to leave without even a proper goodbye.

The unsatisfied girl stared resentfully at the spot where Xiao Ran had disappeared.

After a moment, she sniffled. ’Oh well. Since he’s gone, I should hurry up and post my video. After all, in this age of internet traffic, likes and views can be turned into cash!’

She grabbed her laptop again and flopped onto Xiao Ran’s bed to start editing. ’Even though he’s gone, it’s nice to smell his scent.’

She pulled up the video she had roughly edited earlier and reviewed it one more time. Satisfied, she then opened Little Broken Station, logged in, and decisively uploaded the video she had filmed that morning.

Then she set the computer aside, lay down on Xiao Ran’s pillow, kicked her feet up, and waited for the comments to roll in.
