Chapter 123 My heart aches terribly
Xiao Lan frowned, her hands behind her back as if she was in great pain. "I accidentally bumped my lower back while moving goods today, and it hurts a lot right now. I want to rub it, but my arms are too short to reach it."
Upon hearing that he was injured, Xu Yuecheng's earlier romantic thoughts immediately dissipated.
"Yes, it's the one Brother Qin left behind. Sister-in-law, wait here, I'll go get it right away."
He turned around and rummaged through the toolbox under the bed, pulled out a bottle of liniment, and without thinking much, took it and went to the east room with Xiao Lan.
There was no smell of engine oil in the east room, but there was a pleasant fragrance of osmanthus.
The bed sheet was laid out neatly.
Xiao Lan went into the room and drew the curtains tightly shut, then turned around and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Sister-in-law, can you point to a spot? I'll pour you some medicinal wine and you can rub it in yourself."
Xu Yuecheng unscrewed the bottle cap, and a pungent medicinal smell wafted out.
Xiao Lan didn't respond.
With her back to Xu Yuecheng, she raised her hand and casually tied up her wet hair at the back of her head with a hair clip, revealing a section of her fair nape.
Immediately afterwards, she crossed her hands and grabbed the hem of her dress.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?!" Xu Yuecheng was startled and almost dropped the medicine bottle in his hand.
"What's all the fuss about?"
Without turning her head, Xiao Lan swiftly lifted the white coat, stripping the fabric off her head and tossing it onto the pillow.
A blinding expanse of white rushed into Xu Yuecheng's eyes without any obstruction.
The room was already dimly lit, and when the light shone on that smooth back, it made it look as if it were coated with glaze.
Her skin was incredibly smooth, but there was a dark bruise a little below her shoulder blade, which stood out starkly against the snow-white background.
Xu Yuecheng felt as if a ball of fire was stuck in his throat, burning so badly that his throat was practically steaming.
He subconsciously took half a step back towards the door, his gaze trying to look away, but then seemed drawn in by a magnet: "Sister-in-law... this... this isn't appropriate. How about I go ask Aunt Li next door for help..."
"Why would I look for Aunt Li? That old woman's mouth is as gossipy as a cotton waistband. If I ask her to apply some medicine to me tonight, by tomorrow morning the whole machine factory will know that I, Xiao Lan, was naked in the middle of the night for everyone to see."
Xiao Lan turned her head slightly, a hint of reproach in her eyes and brows, but not anger. "We're all people of the martial world, why be so fussy? I'm your sister-in-law, not an outsider. Hurry up, it hurts."
These words shut Xu Yuecheng up.
If I keep acting coy, it will only make me look like I have something to hide.
"Well... I'll get started then."
Xu Yuecheng swallowed, poured some safflower oil into his palm, and rubbed his palms together to warm them.
He walked to the bedside, took a deep breath, and carefully placed his calloused hand on the bed.
It feels smooth and warm to the touch.
The sensation traveled up my arm like an electric current from my fingertips.
"hiss--"
The medicinal wine stung the wound, and Xiao Lan's body trembled violently.
"Does it hurt?" Xu Yuecheng's hand trembled, and he wanted to pull it back.
"It's okay, pain is what makes it work, you can continue." Xiao Lan twisted her waist and changed to a more comfortable position.
Xu Yuecheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.
Rough, large hands roamed over that delicate skin, gradually increasing the pressure as they rubbed the brown medicinal wine into the flesh.
The temperature in my palms kept rising; I didn't know if it was the medicinal wine taking effect or something else.
"Um……"
A soft groan, suppressed in her throat, suddenly escaped from Xiao Lan's mouth.
The sound didn't sound like pain, it sounded more like...
Xu Yuecheng paused in his movements, and sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
"Does it hurt?" His voice was terribly hoarse.
"No... more force."
Xiao Lan's voice had a slight nasal tone, and she leaned forward slightly, her back arching in a breathtaking curve, as if she wanted to offer herself to his palm, "Rub the bruises open... so it will heal faster..."
Xu Yuecheng closed his eyes.
This isn't applying medicine; it's practically deep-frying.
He increased the pressure, circling his palm over the bruise.
The heat from the safflower oil dissipated, mingling with the woman's body fragrance, creating a dizzying aroma.
"what……"
With his exertion, Xiao Lan let out another low moan.
This time, she couldn't control her voice; the undulating tone was even softer and more alluring than before.
Xu Yuecheng's hand trembled, and he almost pressed the wrong spot.
This sound... it sounds like a cat in heat.
He suddenly remembered that a while ago, he and some of his buddies from the convoy were watching a videotape together, and the woman in the video was making that same sound when she was moaning.
"Move a little further to the side... my ribcage area also hurts."
Xiao Lan's voice trembled slightly, and her body leaned back as if boneless, rubbing her back against Xu Yuecheng's sweaty palm.
Xu Yuecheng's Adam's apple bobbed twice, and his hand obediently slid to the side.
With that slip, the pad of my thumb brushed against a soft spot.
Further ahead, there was a patch of white, glistening under the dim yellow light, rising and falling with each breath.
If you push your luck even a little bit, you can leave a fingerprint on that plump, soft flesh.
Xu Yuecheng froze, his hand feeling as if it had touched a branding iron, making his fingertips tremble.
The smell of safflower oil in the room was too strong, mixed with the scent of face cream on the woman's body after she had just taken a shower, it seemed to penetrate right to the top of my head.
"Why did you stop?" Xiao Lan twisted her waist, her back taut even more. "Didn't you eat? Push harder."
Xu Yuecheng bit his tongue, and the rusty taste that filled his mouth instantly sobered him up a little.
"Sister-in-law, it's inconvenient for me up ahead..."
His voice was so hoarse he could barely speak, but his body betrayed him by not wanting to move.
My body had already reacted.
Xu Yuecheng wondered if he had gained weight recently, as his polyester work pants were too tight.
Xu Yuecheng's heart tightened instantly, and he gritted his teeth, about to pull his hand back.
He had just pulled his hand back an inch.
A hand, seemingly soft yet incredibly strong, suddenly gripped his wrist.
Xiao Lan turned halfway around.
That usually dignified face was flushed at this moment, and her eyes and brows were full of irresistible charm.
She didn't let go; instead, she grabbed Xu Yuecheng's rough, large hand and pressed it forcefully against her chest.
"Smack."
A crisp sound of skin and flesh colliding.
Xu Yuecheng's large hand, covered in medicinal oil, covered it completely.
Xu Yuecheng felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
Thump, thump.
It was a woman's rapid heartbeat.
It looked like it was about to jump out of his hand.
"What are you hiding from?"
Xu Yuecheng felt all the blood rush to his head, and he was frozen in place, unable to move.
Xiao Lan didn't let up.
She stared intently into Xu Yuecheng's bloodshot eyes, her red lips parted slightly, her breath hot to the touch.
"Yuecheng, your sister-in-law's hurts here."
"My chest hurts terribly."
She held his hand.
"Give me a good massage, once it's rubbed in... it won't hurt anymore."
