"Mm..."
Ouyang Zixin leaned against the wall, letting out the occasional soft moan.
Su Chen's technique really was comfortable. She felt much more at ease, and her body gradually relaxed.
A moment later, Su Chen untied the laces of Ouyang Zixin's sneakers.
He supported her heel with one hand and steadied the shoe with the other, carefully slipping the sneaker off her left foot.
Then he did the same with her right.
He placed both sneakers neatly on the ground beside the bench.
Before Su Chen was Ouyang Zixin's small feet, completely encased in white over-the-knee stockings, with a distinct hint of sweat.
The stockings were very thin, and the rounded, rosy tips of her toes showed through.
After sweating from running for so long, the soles of her feet had taken on a rosy hue.
"What are you looking at? I'm never falling for your tricks again. That was awful..."
Ouyang Zixin nudged Su Chen in the stomach with her foot, pouting slightly.
"But they really are beautiful~"
Su Chen smiled. First, he wrapped his palm around Ouyang Zixin's slightly damp forefoot, then began gently rotating her ankle.
Next, he pressed his thumb against the acupoints on the soles of her feet, slowly pushing from her heel toward the center, then kneading her arch. He increased the pressure gradually, looking especially skilled.
"Mm, mm..."
Ouyang Zixin let out a quiet little hum. Su Chen's movements were quite forceful, and when he pressed certain spots, it brought a sharp pain—but it felt especially good, too.
"All done. How does it feel, Sister Zixin?" Su Chen set Ouyang Zixin's little feet down and asked with a smile.
"Mm... Not bad. I'll give you ninety points..."
The corner of Ouyang Zixin's mouth curled up as she murmured softly.
"Then does that mean I get a reward~?"
Su Chen stared straight at Ouyang Zixin, anticipation in his eyes.
"Um... What are you planning? Don't you dare get carried away. I'll treat you to a late-night snack later..."
Ouyang Zixin seemed to sense what he was thinking and instinctively turned her head away.
But Su Chen just kept staring at Ouyang Zixin without saying a word.
His meaning was crystal clear.
Ouyang Zixin: ...
A little over ten minutes later.
Ouyang Zixin took off the soiled white stockings, tossed them into the trash, and went to the bathroom to wash her feet.
Su Chen closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, perfectly content.
"What are you thinking about? Come on, let's go eat. I'm starving..."
Ouyang Zixin came out of the bathroom, put on her shoes, and gave Su Chen's cheek a not-too-gentle pinch, clearly taking revenge for what had just happened.
"Let's go, then. We'll eat at my place. I ordered fast food, so it should be here by now."
Su Chen nodded, stood up, and stretched lazily.
This world had food delivery, too, and it was incredibly fast and efficient.
"Then I'll go eat at your place. Tonight, I..."
Ouyang Zixin was about to say she would head home to sleep, but Su Chen cut her off.
"Of course you're staying at my place tonight. You haven't stayed at my villa yet~"
Before Ouyang Zixin could refuse, Su Chen put an arm around her waist and activated Teleportation.
As Su Chen's cultivation improved, his Teleportation ability had gradually evolved.
The range of each jump had expanded to two kilometers, and he could now bring people and objects along with him.
However, teleporting with someone still put a little strain on them.
"Ah—!"
Ouyang Zixin cried out. The next moment, her vision went black, and a powerful wave of dizziness hit her. She instinctively squeezed her eyes shut, and her consciousness even blurred for an instant.
But the sensation lasted only a heartbeat. By the time she came around, she and Su Chen had already appeared inside the villa.
"Could you warn me before teleporting next time? That scared me..." Ouyang Zixin gave Su Chen a light tug and muttered under her breath.
She never asked too many questions about Su Chen's abilities.
But whenever he teleported with her, she felt an intense sensation of weightlessness and dizziness. It really wasn't pleasant.
"Your constitution's too weak, Sister Zixin. Once you're stronger, you won't feel it as much."
As he spoke, Su Chen took out a jade box and handed it to Ouyang Zixin. "I happened to go to an auction house today and bought a few spirit fruits that can strengthen your constitution. You can have them."
"Thanks! I'll go take a shower, then we can eat together when I'm done~"
Ouyang Zixin took the jade box from Su Chen and tucked it away as naturally as could be. Her lovely eyes curved into crescents; she was clearly happy.
It wasn't that she didn't appreciate his kindness. Su Chen had simply given her so much that she was already used to it. Still, she kept his generosity firmly in her heart.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Su Chen's bathroom was large and had hot water, far better than the one in the track's changing room.
Su Chen brought in the fast food that had been delivered to the door, then set out bowls and chopsticks before heading downstairs to take a quick shower.
The warm water washed away his fatigue.
Su Chen changed into clean loungewear and walked toward the dining room, rubbing his damp hair with a towel.
Ouyang Zixin was already sitting at the dining table, enthusiastically digging into the abundant fast food in front of her.
She had changed into a pale blue camisole nightdress, leaving her snowy shoulders bare.
Su Chen's eyes instinctively swept over her. The neckline wasn't very low, but... it seemed she really wasn't wearing anything underneath.
Ouyang Zixin was barefoot, with her calves casually resting on the crossbar of her chair. She looked completely relaxed.
"Sister Zixin, how could you start without me? That's so unfair~"
Su Chen pretended to be displeased as he walked over and pulled out a chair beside her.
"Mm..."
Ouyang Zixin's cheeks were puffed out. A little white cream clung to the corner of her mouth. She held a juice cup with a straw in one hand, while the other held a small piece of delicate cake.
When she saw Su Chen, she blinked her beautiful eyes without a trace of guilt and said indistinctly, "I was hungry. What was I supposed to do? You took forever..."
As she spoke, she defiantly popped the last piece of cake into her mouth.
Seeing her adorable expression, Su Chen couldn't hold back.
"Fine, fine~"
Su Chen suddenly leaned closer, his gaze falling on the cream at the corner of her mouth. With a smile, he said, "Then I want some, too~"
Before Ouyang Zixin could react, she felt a warm, soft touch at the corner of her mouth.
Su Chen had leaned right in and used his tongue to gently lick away the bit of cream.
"Ah!"
Ouyang Zixin let out a soft cry, and two rosy clouds instantly bloomed on her cheeks.
She instinctively tried to push him away, but she had something in both hands and fumbled helplessly for a moment.
Su Chen took advantage of the opening and cupped her soft, pale cheeks.
Ouyang Zixin's skin was smooth and delicate, cool from her recent shower.
Su Chen dipped his head and gave her rosy cheek a gentle bite.
"Mm... Who does that?"
Ouyang Zixin glared at Su Chen, her lovely eyes shimmering with tears. She looked a little aggrieved, but mostly bashful.
"Who told you to eat without me, Sister Zixin?"
Then Su Chen thought of something. He tilted his head, narrowed his eyes, and grinned. "Unless... you feed me with your mouth, Sister Zixin. Then I'll forgive you."
Ouyang Zixin: "..."
She looked at Su Chen's teasing expression and knew he was doing it on purpose.
"Fine, fine. Then... just one bite..."
Ouyang Zixin rolled her eyes at Su Chen, then picked up a piece of sashimi and held it in her mouth.
Then she lifted her lashes and looked at Su Chen with her dewy purple eyes, shy, with a hint of inexplicable anticipation.
Su Chen gazed at the beauty right before him, feeding him with such bashful sweetness. How could he possibly resist?
Su Chen opened his mouth and leaned forward.
"Slurp—"
Su Chen easily drew the sashimi into his mouth, bringing Ouyang Zixin's taste with it.
No wonder rich people in his previous life liked imported food. It really was different.
Su Chen didn't bother chewing or savoring it. He swallowed it straight away.
Ouyang Zixin froze for a moment.
But before she could say anything, Su Chen pressed right up against her.
"Mm..."
Ouyang Zixin put her arms around Su Chen and gave him a light pinch at the waist in protest.
But evidently, her protest was futile.
