The Smile-Transfer Technique

Just as Yukino walked to the bedside, Haruno suddenly sat up and pulled down the straps of her dress.

Yukino frowned slightly. "You don't need to take off your clothes."

"That won't achieve the best results at all, you should know that, right? The feeling of a person's palm touching the skin directly is completely different from touching it through clothes. Besides, when it comes to massage, I'm a bit more professional than you." Haruno put on an air of expertise.

"A major?" Yukino asked instinctively, as if she had just remembered something. "You've studied it too?"

"I haven't really studied anything in depth, but I've flipped through magazines and read some experience sharing from professional massage therapists online. After that, I even tried it myself. And you know what? When you're particularly tired, a professional massage can effectively relieve your fatigue."

Haruno slowly and deliberately shared his experience.

Actually, she wasn't exactly a professional, since she was the one being pressured.

"I see."

Yukino shook her head helplessly.

She could tell that her sister's words were exaggerated to a large extent, but since she had already agreed, she wouldn't go back on her word.

Yukino immediately turned around and closed the door, locking it from the inside.

After doing all this, she returned to the bedside.

Haruno lay comfortably on the bed, squinting her eyes, intending to enjoy her relaxing time ahead.

She definitely needs to relieve her fatigue.

Not only was she aware of this, but Yukino, who was in charge of the massage, could also sense it.

Therefore, Yukino even more focused.

"Speaking of which, has Makoto ever given you a massage?" Haruno casually chatted about gossip.

"No." Yukino shook her head.

Although Fushimi Makoto had massaged her legs, she absolutely denied that it was a massage.

At the very least, that wasn't a proper massage!

"That's a bit of a shame." Haruno seemed genuinely disappointed.

Yukino's expression remained unchanged. "You really want him to press it for you? Then I can call him now."

"Forget it, if I really make you call him back, you'll definitely be unhappy."

"I won't."

"Yukino so cute when she says one thing but means another, just like when she was little."

"..."

Yukino's chest rose and fell slowly.

For some reason, her sister's teasing remark reminded her of someone's favorite phrase to her, "So cute!"

She mentally compared the two, and still felt that Fushimi Makoto's tone was more infuriating.

"Why don't you have him give you a massage later, and then you can come back and tell me how it goes," Haruno's voice continued.

This time, Yukino's expression changed, and she asked coldly, "Why is my sister so fixated on this?"

"It's not obsession, it's curiosity." Haruno analyzed logically, "Think about it, Aunt Sayuri is so well-off, yet she specifically mentioned Makoto's massage skills, which means Makoto is really good at it."

Yukino paused for a moment, then agreed with this statement.

Haruno continued, "I was actually planning to get a really good massage next week if I had the time. I even made plans with Rie."

Yukino also knew the Rie she mentioned; she was a strong, young woman.

It is precisely because of its strength that the massage has power.

Yukino thought for a moment and said, "Even if you wanted him to give you a massage, I doubt he would agree."

"Why? I remember we had a pretty good relationship."

"Because I disagree," Yukino answered. "If I disagree, he won't help you."

Haruno burst out laughing.

She didn't ask Yukino why she disagreed, because the answer was obvious.

She's not wearing any clothes right now.

Moreover, she firmly believes that a massage done through clothing is not a massage, but a perfunctory act.

"Then let him give you a massage, and I'll just watch from the side, okay?" Haruno said with a smile, changing her request.

"I refuse!"

To Haruno's surprise, Yukino's refusal this time was even more resolute than before.

There's an undeniable air about it.

Haruno immediately became interested. "Something's up, Yukino."

Yukino remained silent, her face cold.

She knew Fushimi Makoto nature all too well.

If Yukino were to Fushimi Makoto massage her, she would swear to God that he would definitely start touching her inappropriately during the massage.

Of course, he wouldn't simply and crudely do bad things, but rather use his most proficient methods, teasing himself with a wicked smile.

He wouldn't announce the tatak until he could no longer hold back.

This had happened more than once between her and Fushimi Makoto.

She blushed just thinking about it, let alone having her sister standing there watching.

I would be so ashamed I'd want to punch someone!

After a while, Yukino's phone suddenly rang.

It was Eriri Spencer Sawamura calling.

Since Yukino decided to tutor him, their relationship has clearly grown closer.

"I need to take this call."

Yukino picked up her phone and went outside, making sure to close the door behind her.

Since there was no one else at home right now, and the nearest grocery store was quite a walk away, Yukino knew that Fushimi Makoto wouldn't be back for another ten or twenty minutes.

She went to the balcony to answer the phone, feeling reassured.

However, her idea was only half right.

Since Fushimi Makoto didn't go for a run this morning, he actually ran to buy groceries.

With his speed and stamina, he'll be back soon.

Coincidentally, at that moment, Haruno, who was lying on the bed, picked up her phone, her eyes gleaming, tapped on Fushimi Makoto's chat avatar, and typed a message: "Are you good at massage?"

Fushimi Makoto was less than 100 meters from the Yukinoshita Family when he heard his phone vibrate. He picked it up and glanced at the message while maintaining his quick and steady pace.

Why did she suddenly start talking about massage?

Fushimi Makoto thought for a moment and replied to the message: [It would seem like I'm bragging if I said this myself, so I'd better not say it.]

Haruno: [It's okay, you can brag all you want when you're with me, I won't believe a word of it.]

Fushimi Makoto: [If you don't believe me, then what's the point of me bragging?]

A smile appeared in Haruno's eyes: [You can prove it to me with your actions.]

Fushimi Makoto: [In other words, you need me to give you a massage? Well, then I'll have to charge you.]

Haruno: [It's just a charge? Don't you need to ask Yukino first?]

Upon seeing this message, Fushimi Makoto couldn't help but feel puzzled.

If it's just a normal massage, there's no need for you to ask Yukino.

Unless it's abnormal.

But his current interest in Haruno mainly lies in arguing with her and then enjoying the way this cunning beauty gets flustered after her defenses are broken, which gives him pleasure.

So even if he did give Haruno a massage, he wouldn't have any other thoughts for the time being.

Since there are no other thoughts, there's no need to specifically ask Yukino.

Fushimi Makoto: [No need.]

As Haruno lay on the bed waiting for news, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up when she saw this message.

What a great opportunity, Haruno!

She was inexplicably excited and wanted to ask Fushimi Makoto for a massage tomorrow, but then she felt that she didn't need to be in such a hurry and could wait for him to come back and talk to him in person.

So she put her phone down.

Chapter 336 The Art of Smile Transfer

Fushimi Makoto wasn't surprised that Haruno had suddenly stopped replying to his messages.

After all, they weren't new acquaintances; she had approached him on occasions to chat about random things before, and Fushimi Makoto was already used to it.

Moreover, he had always been able to sense Haruno's thirst for knowledge.

Compared to Yukino, Haruno's thirst for knowledge is no less!

For example, Yukino's progress was incredibly rapid, not only in terms of her directing talent but also in the significant improvement in her various physical functions, which Haruno found astonishing.

For Haruno, now that a strong desire for knowledge had arisen in his heart, he was bound to take action.

Fushimi Makoto was on his way back when Yukino and Eriri Spencer Sawamura were having a great time chatting. Suddenly, he remembered that his older sister was still waiting in the room.

She thought for a moment, then went back to her room and said to her sister, "Eriri Spencer Sawamura wants me to help her with a problem, so I might have to wait a few more minutes."

Haruno didn't mind at all. "It's okay, you keep talking, I'm going to take a nap. When you come back, you can continue to massage me."

"You really know how to enjoy yourself." Yukino picked up her phone and walked out.

She suddenly Fushimi Makoto went out, the front door was closed, so she went over and left the door open for him.

The room was too bright, and Haruno opened her eyes again as soon as she closed them. She got up slowly, without even putting on clothes, picked up an eye mask from the bedside table, put it on, and then lay back down.

"Now I can finally get some sleep," Haruno thought contentedly.

On the other side.

Fushimi Makoto has returned to the doorstep of the Yukinoshita Family.

Although he didn't have the key, and he had closed the door when he came out, he knew that given their understanding with Yukino, she would definitely come and leave the door open.

So instead of ringing the doorbell, he gripped the doorknob and pushed it in, and sure enough, the door opened.

Upon entering the living room, his senses naturally extended outwards.

Yukino was on the balcony making a phone call. Fushimi Makoto listened for a few seconds and recognized Eriri Spencer Sawamura's voice.

What amused him was that the two of them were actually discussing math problems!

Has Eriri Spencer Sawamura really become completely self-disciplined?

Fushimi Makoto felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

After being Eriri Spencer Sawamura to be self-disciplined for a week by the previous schedule, and with him explaining problems to her every day, this "loser" gradually got used to this self-disciplined life.

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should have already put the schedule back on."

Fushimi Makoto thought to himself, he specifically checked the time.

If it weren't a holiday, it would still be class time.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura calling Yukino for advice at this time means that her plan hasn't changed; it's still the same as last time—studying during the day and exercising at night.

As for Haruno.

As soon as Fushimi Makoto entered the living room, he sensed that she was still in the room.

At this time Haruno's breathing was steady and there was no abnormality.

Fushimi Makoto guessed that the other person was either playing on their phone or sleeping.

He put the ingredients in the refrigerator, and seeing that the door to the other room was open, he decided to go and check it out.

But just as he reached the doorway, he had only a moment to peek inside.
