"Young master, how is the pressure? Is it comfortable?"
Lin Zihan asked softly, her slender, jade-white fingers gently kneading Wang Baichuan's shoulders with the practiced skill of an experienced master.
Wang Baichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, savoring this moment of comfort, and could not help letting out a satisfied hum:
