Chapter 124: Regulating the Meridians
Translator: Fan Translation Studio
When Ye Xiaoxian went back to the room she firstly put her ingredients in order and then looked through the courses she were going to cook for tomorrow. Xiao Baoshan then fetched a book and read it quietly in bed.
After Ye Xiaoxian finished her work she unexpectedly felt a bit bored.
There was not much entertainment in this era. Apart from a box of Chinese chess there was nothing in the room.
However, Ye Xiaoxian did not know how to play Chinese chess. Seeing Xiao Baoshan reading she then asked him, “What are you reading?”
Xiao Baoshan said, “A medical book about the meridian system.”
“You also read that kind of book? You’re interested in medical books?”
“It’s just that I’m not busy with anything. Just to kill time.”
Ye Xiaoxian felt rather amused and smiled in her heart. Others would kill time by reading romantic novels but he killed time by reading a medical book. He was such a nice diligent young man.
“What is the medical book about? Regulating the meridians?” asked Ye Xiaoxian.
Xiao Baoshan said, “Yea, it’s mainly about regulating.”
“My shoulder has been really sore recently. Do think maybe the meridians are blocked? Can you help me to regulate them?” asked Ye Xiaoxian playfully.
Xiao Baoshan put the book down and looked at Ye Xiaoxian with a complicated look.
But he soon agreed and nodded. “I’ll give you a press then.”
Ye Xiaoxian finally understood the meaning of his look because it required physical contact. She felt a little awkward all of a sudden. It was already awkward enough to stay in the same room and now they had to touch.
Still, she had already said it, so she had to toughen up and let him press her. Ye Xiaoxian pretended to put up a calm look.
Xiao Baoshan came over, looked at Ye Xiaoxian and said. “Better, erm, lie down on your stomach.”
Lie down on the bed?
Ye Xiaoxian then took off her shoes, went up to the bed and knelt down.
Xiao Baoshan did not know what to say.
Ye Xiaoxian looked at him. When she came back to her senses her blushed terribly. He meant for her to lie down flat instead of kneeling. Her pose was provocatively sensual. She hurriedly lay down flat and buried her face between her hands.
Then Xiao Baoshan began massaging her.
His hands were thick and strong but the pressure was just right. Also, his hands were warm. Ye Xiaoxian could feel the warmth of his palms even with clothes on. He was pressing her shoulder and her back. Some parts felt sore and other places felt very comfortable.
Xiao Baoshan explained to her, “The sore spots are places where the meridians are blocked. The comfortable places are clear. You’re cooking in the kitchen all the time and always keep the same position, so those spots are blocked.”
“What’s the solution?” asked Ye Xiaoxian.
“You need to stretch regularly,” said Xiao Baoshan.
Ye Xiaoxian replied with, “Mhmm”.
Her body had completely relaxed and she felt unwilling to ask him to stop, so she was still lying still.
Xiao Baoshan had really behaved. He said that he would press her shoulder and back, so he did press only those two areas and did not trespass even one inch to other places.
Ye Xiaoxian was the kind of person who would shrink away when facing other’s courting but if others were still like the surface of a lake, she would throw a pebble in it to cause some water to splash.
She said, “Baoshan, my legs are also sore. Press them for me as well.”
Xiao Baoshan hesitated briefly and then started massaging Ye Xiaoxian’s legs. He also behaved.
Ye Xiaoxian then thought: Such a well-behaved man. If she doesn’t take the initiative, will he just wait forever?
Xiao Baoshan had been massaging her well, so Ye Xiaoxian closed her eyes involuntarily. She then felt drowsy and fell asleep.
Until she felt she was carried up by someone, she shuddered, opened her eyes alarmed and found herself being in the arms of Xiao Baoshan.
“You...” Ye Xiaoxian thought he was an honest man.
But on second thought, she was still his wife, so whatever he did wouldn’t be considered going too far, would it?
However, Xiao Baoshan said, “I saw you fall asleep lying on your stomach and was afraid your limbs would get numb and your chest would feel tight when you woke up, so I was thinking of turning you over.”
So that explained it. Ye Xiaoxian flipped over and looked at him lying on her back.
