His fingertips were covered with a rough, thin layer of calluses, and his fingertips were as cold as cold jade.

Xia Chuwei suddenly opened her eyes.

What caught his eye was the man's impossibly handsome face.

The massage force was neither light nor heavy, just right. Xia Chuwei squinted her eyes in comfort.

"Do you know how to massage?" Her voice was not as soft as usual, but also a bit muted.

His gestures were not stiff, but smooth and natural. From the first glance, it seemed that this was not the first time he had done this kind of thing.

"Yeah." The man responded calmly.

Xia Chuwei opened her eyes again, "Have you... studied it before?"

Huo Yunting's movements paused slightly.

"No."

Xia Chuwei didn't know much about massage, but from the man's gestures, strength and comfort level, it was obvious that he seemed to be very professional.

A light flashed in Xia Chuwei's mind, and she instantly thought of another possibility and blurted it out.

"Have you ever...pressed someone else's finger before?"

Huo Yunting's pupils flickered slightly, but he did not answer.

After saying this, Xia Chuwei actually regretted it.

What's the use of asking about the past?

It's all in the past.

She closed her eyes in embarrassment and casually changed the subject.

"Did you bring my pajamas in?"

"Bring it."

"That's good."

After that, no one spoke anymore.

After taking a bath, Huo Yunting carried her back to bed.

After taking a bath and enjoying a comfortable massage, Xia Chuwei's already exhausted body could no longer hold up.

She fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes.

I don't know how long I slept when a "buzzing" vibration sounded in the quiet and dark bedroom.

When Xia Chuwei regained consciousness, she heard the man's deliberately lowered voice.

"...I know, I'll be there right away."

Huo Yunting quickly hung up the phone.

In the darkness, the man's clear eyes fell on her.

Even with her eyes closed, Xia Chuwei could feel Huo Yunting's oppressive gaze.

She didn't move or speak, as if she hadn't woken up.

After a few seconds, Huo Yunting looked away.

As if he was afraid of waking her up, Huo Yunting got out of bed very lightly.

He didn't turn on the light, and his whole body melted into darkness.

Xia Chuwei endured it, but finally couldn't.

"Do you want to go out?"

Her voice was hoarse with sleep.

That gaze that was hard to ignore fell on her again.

"Woke you up?"

"Um."

After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yunting said, "Something happened at the hospital. I'll go over and take a look."

The corners of Xia Chuwei's lips raised a silent arc, sarcastically and mockingly.

He didn't go to the hospital today, but something happened to Ye Lanxue. What a coincidence.

The room was too dark to see each other's expressions clearly.

Xia Chuwei took a long time to speak: "Are you coming back?"

After asking this question, Xia Chuwei suddenly realized that she seemed to have asked this question a lot in recent times.

"return."

Xia Chuwei said "hmm" and closed her eyes again.

Huo Yunting stood in the darkness and did not leave.
