Kiana: I'll Scrub Your Back (cont.)

Although they are familiar with each other, it's not the kind of familiarity you're talking about!

This is the kind of interaction that only happens between boyfriends and girlfriends.

Who is Jingjing?

Having known Mo Yi for so long, Kiana really didn't know that Mo Yi knew someone named 'Jingjing'. Moreover, judging from the name, she should be a girl. Plus, Mo Yi was thinking about her while taking a shower, which didn't seem very normal at all!

Could it be that 'Jingjing' is the girl Mo Yi likes?!

Nowadays, if a high school student doesn't have four or five crushes, they can hardly say they've truly enjoyed their high school years.

No way! I finally got my eye on this guy, how can it end before it even started!

As long as you keep swinging the hoe, there's no corner you can't dig up.

Okay, I'll tell Mei, who's still making breakfast in the kitchen, about this later. Mei is better at specific strategies.

Mo Yi: "..."

Surprisingly, there are still people who don't know this old joke. All I can say is, as expected of Kiana, she easily picked up on such an old joke.

"What I mean is, I don't need you to scrub my back. I want you to go out and give me a Jingjing bath, understand?"

"I see—"

Kiana patted her chest in relief, then complained in a half-complaining, half-coquettish tone, "You should speak more clearly, otherwise it's easy to misunderstand—"

"Sit still, I'm going to rub you."

After saying that, he put down the small stool in his hand, sat down, and went over to Mo Yi.

"You've got what's coming to you—"

"Don't want--"

"I'm a boy—"

"I, as a girl, don't mind either—"

"I only mind because it's you—"

"Hey, that's going too far! Even I would get angry—"

After a long round of banter and arguments, Kiana still got her way.

Is the force enough?

Kiana vigorously rubbed the bubbly towel up and down, giggling, "This young lady is a genius, this little thing is no problem for me!"

Mo Yi: "..."

At the very beginning, if you hadn't stacked your armor so high, you probably would have already dealt a damage that reduced your health by 1.

However, after some guidance from me, Kiana, who has exceptional athletic ability, quickly grasped the technique and found the rubbing very comfortable.

"It feels so good—"

Mo Yi felt very comfortable, half-closing his eyes, and thought to himself, "Scrubbing is a good thing." He praised Kiana generously, as if a four-legged beast that had been raised for more than ten years and only knew how to eat gold had finally learned to be filial to him.

"Kiana, you're rubbing so comfortably. I'll never be able to enjoy this again, and I'll be very upset."

"Hey-hey--"

Kiana, hearing Mo Yi praise her like this for the first time, smiled happily and said, "If I'm happy, I don't mind rubbing your back occasionally."

"Thank you then—"

Mo Yi only ever believed half of Kiana's promises. He wasn't about to think Kiana would take advantage of him so easily. Kiana would probably forget about it tonight.

"Then I'll accept your gratitude without being polite."

Kiana, who felt she had been constantly getting the short end of the stick, finally felt she had found something that could rival Mei Yue Xia, so she rubbed her hands together even more vigorously.

"Mo Yi, I also want to thank you—"

Mo Yi: "..."

Kiana, why is your voice so different? It's so much lower now. Because of the current situation, Mo Yi could only stay and listen to Kiana's next words.

"I've been living a very happy life ever since I met you."

Kiana came to rub Mo Yi's back not only to try and win Mo Yi over and increase her favorability, but also because she hadn't seen Mo Yi, and wanted to confide some of her thoughts to him.

"I used to be always running around, even though it was something I wanted to do. But seeing other people's happy smiles made me wish I could go to school, make friends, and play together after school like them..."

"That's good."

"Meeting you and Mei is the happiest thing that has happened to me in the past few years!"

"Yes, and Theresa too. She's annoying, but she's not a bad person."

Kiana's sudden emotional outburst was quite out of character for her carefree personality. Mo Yi had never imagined that Kiana also had such a sensitive side; it seemed he had overlooked it before.

Of course, after hearing the other person's monologue, Mo Yi was genuinely happy for them.

"Me too--"

It's all Kiana's fault. She suddenly started confiding in him, and Mo Yi couldn't help but share some of his feelings that he wouldn't tell others.

"I used to be busy with my own things. Although I quite liked that quiet life, I always felt that something was missing. It was only after I met you that I realized that I also longed for a lively life."

"Of course, I'd be even happier if you played around with Theresa less."

"Snort--"

Kiana was quite happy to hear Mo Yi's words, but she immediately became dissatisfied and muttered, "Why? She was clearly wrong too."

Mo Yi: "..."

"She's still a child—"

Kiana: "..."

Hmph, the other party is just taking advantage of the child's appearance to do whatever they want; their ulterior motives are no less than mine.

"Don't think I don't know that Theresa is the oldest among us. If we're going to be polite, it should be to her, a woman in her twenties, who gives way to me, a sixteen-year-old girl."
