“Really?”
Xu Xiyan was very surprised. He said that he could feel his legs?
She was even more excited than Huo Yunshen and reached out to press into his knee with her fingers. “What do you feel?”
However, the warmth of the touch was absent this time. Huo Yunshen looked down sadly and shook his head. “Nothing. Maybe I was mistaken.”
Seeing the man’s look of despair, Xu Xiyan understood his feelings.
To make him feel better, she planted a kiss on his forehead when he was not paying attention. It caught him off guard. “Feel anything now?”
“…”
Huo Yunshen jerked his head up. Xu Xiyan had already gotten up and gone behind him to push his wheelchair.
He was stunned for a long time. What happened just now?
Did Xu Xiyan just kiss him?
Did she kiss his forehead?
Did she really kiss his forehead?
All feelings of disappointment disappeared when he felt that kiss. Huo Yunshen’s heart was beating fast and accelerating. The spot she’d kissed felt scorching hot.
Although it was just a very light peck, it quickly ignited his body. His cheeks grew hot and his neck and ears were burning. His organs inside felt like they were on fire.
He couldn’t describe how pleasantly surprised he was. Huo Yunshen really wished that he could rewind that scene and replay it, again and again, tens of thousands of times.
Xu Xiyan pushed his wheelchair from behind, looking at him as he sat upright, petrified. His body was stiff and his ears and neck were flushed. His fingers were gripping the armrest tightly.
She couldn’t help but let out a snicker. Just one kiss had made him so embarra.s.sed and overwhelmed.
Haha. Xu Xiyan was really curious: what would he have done if she had kissed him on his lips?
They went into the bedroom. After Huo Yunshen had laid down on his bed, Xu Xiyan looked into his eyes and said, “Mr. Huo, can you promise me something?”
“What is it?”
“If anyone except me asks whether you could feel your legs, you must tell them no, no matter who they are.”
“Why?” Huo Yunshen’s face was filled with puzzlement. He didn’t understand why Xu Xiyan wanted him to say that. She had just been advising and encouraging him!
“I know you must be wondering why I want you to say this. The truth is that I hope you can keep your health a secret. Even if you can feel your legs before you can really stand up, you shouldn’t let anyone know about it.”
Huo Yunshen was still baffled. Xu Xiyan knelt in front of him and said, “During the period of your treatment with me, you have to cooperate with me and keep this a secret. You must do whatever I tell you to do. Can you promise me?”
“Okay.” Huo Yunshen nodded with uncertainty. Even if there was no particular reason given, he would still do it as long as it was Xu Xiyan who told him to.
Next, Huo Yunshen’s acupuncture and ma.s.sage treatment was a torment. He was trying hard to restrain his mind from thinking indecent thoughts, but his body was behaving and expressing itself in a very honest manner.
Something somewhere had stiffened and was standing tall and strong. When it was time to turn over and face Xu Xiyan, he felt extremely embarra.s.sed.
Xu Xiyan felt a bit restless too, but she still forced herself to calm down and focus. Even though she saw that place bulging, she darted her eyes away and continued to get busy with her work.
After all, she was doing acupuncture for him. She had to be fully focused and couldn’t be distracted.
Finally, when the acupuncture and ma.s.sage treatment were complete, Xu Xiyan hurriedly packed up her tools and withdrew to her apartment.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would lose control and throw herself onto him.
