"Auntie, what did you say?" Su Hao stared at Aunt Meijing in surprise, unable to believe she would ask such a question.
"I said—" Aunt Meijing looked around, confirming that Wan'en wasn't nearby, before gathering the courage to look directly into Su Hao's eyes.
"Do you like my feet? You were staring at them just now."
"So you noticed. I do quite like Auntie's feet." Su Hao scratched his head and admitted frankly: "Because they're very beautiful, simply the most perfect jade feet in the world."
"What's so good about feet?" Su Hao's unreserved praise made Aunt Meijing blush, and she unconsciously curled her toes, yet felt a faint disappointment in her heart.
How wonderful it would be if Xiao Hao had praised her face instead of her feet, at least that would prove she wasn't old yet.
"Feet are certainly beautiful! Otherwise, why would they be called jade feet? Moreover, in our Zhonghua (China) in ancient times, feet were a girl's most private part, only to be shown to the closest people." Su Hao spoke eloquently.
"The closest people…" Aunt Meijing lowered her head to look at her own feet, then looked at Su Hao, her face growing even redder.
"Xiao Hao, if… if you like my feet, I can show them to you, and I can even…"
"Give me what?" Su Hao raised his eyebrows, looking at Aunt Meijing with a half-smile.
"Do you really want me to say it?" Aunt Meijing stamped her foot, slapped Su Hao in embarrassment and anger, and ran towards the bathroom.
As a waft of fragrance passed by, Su Hao heard Aunt Meijing's whisper: I'll go wash my feet first.
What's going on today? Everyone is so proactive. Didn't spring already pass? Su Hao turned his head to look at Aunt Meijing's retreating figure, feeling a bit confused.
However, since he was here, he would make the best of it. Anyway, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Su Hao withdrew his gaze and walked towards his room.
After waiting on the bed for less than five minutes, he saw Aunt Meijing push open the door and walk in.
"Xiao Hao, were you anxious waiting?" Aunt Meijing gently closed the door, looking shyly at Su Hao.
"No... not at all... Auntie, you look so beautiful with your hair down." Su Hao stared blankly at Aunt Meijing.
In the moonlight, she was beautiful beyond words.
"Really? Then I won't tie my hair up anymore." Aunt Meijing joyfully tilted her head, curling the ends of her hair.
This charming gesture once again captivated Su Hao. In the original manga, Aunt Meijing usually had her hair tied up. Su Hao only realized today that she looked even more beautiful with her hair down.
If the original Aunt Meijing was a jar of fine wine buried for a hundred years, then the current her was the moment that jar of fine wine was just opened, with a mellow aroma that was unforgettable.
The infatuation in Su Hao's eyes reflected in Aunt Meijing's pupils, making her heart even more joyful. She bit her lip and elegantly walked in front of Su Hao.
"I've already washed my feet, Xiao Hao. If you don't mind, why don't you give me a massage?"
"Ah? Okay, okay." Su Hao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
So Aunt Meijing meant a massage. He had thought it was... Never mind, he wasn't at a loss now either.
"Auntie, then please sit on the bed. It'll be more convenient that way." Su Hao patted the side of the bed, then stood up.
"Okay." Aunt Meijing turned and sat on the bed, lifting one foot.
Su Hao took a deep breath, reached out and held the sparkling jade foot in front of him, then knelt down on one knee.
"Xiao Hao, what are you doing?" Aunt Meijing exclaimed in surprise when she saw Su Hao suddenly kneel on one knee.
"Massaging," Su Hao raised his head, staring at Aunt Meijing in confusion.
"Oh, then... then you can massage." Seeing that Su Hao was indeed going to massage and not do anything else, Aunt Meijing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When she saw Su Hao kneel on one knee just now, she thought he was going to propose to her.
If Xiao Hao really proposed to me, what should I do? Aunt Meijing imagined the scene and found that she was actually a little expectant.
Do I really like Xiao Hao? Aunt Meijing pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart rate accelerate.
What is Aunt Meijing thinking? Her face is so red. Su Hao looked up at Aunt Meijing, then opened the points mall and looked at one of the items.
God's Hand: Bestows a portion of the God of Massage's divine power upon the hands, healing all hidden ailments of the massaged person and making her even more beautiful. Lasts for three minutes.
This was fifty points! Looking at the price of God's Hand, Su Hao gritted his teeth and chose to exchange it.
Since he was going to massage Aunt Meijing anyway, he might as well do it thoroughly and also help her regulate her body.
As fifty points were deducted, a faint glow fell into Su Hao's hands.
Su Hao didn't dare to delay, and immediately began to massage Aunt Meijing.
Although God's Hand was exchanged, no earth-shattering massage techniques appeared in Su Hao's mind. To verify the effect of God's Hand, Su Hao held Aunt Meijing's jade foot, squeezed it a few times, then looked up at her.
"Auntie, how do you feel?"
"I feel... very good," Aunt Meijing covered her mouth and whispered.
For some reason, Su Hao had only gently squeezed her foot, yet she felt completely comfortable. All her past troubles dissipated like smoke, as if her soul had been cleansed, and along with her soul, certain worldly Concept also were.
"As long as it's effective." Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and began to concentrate on massaging Aunt Meijing.
He had to admit, Aunt Meijing's feet were indeed perfect. Even if Su Hao didn't have any 'those' thoughts at the moment, and was just purely appreciating them, he still found them very pleasing to the eye.
Time passed by second by second, and three minutes quickly went by. When the duration of God's Hand ended, Su Hao looked up with anticipation.
"Xiao Hao, is the massage over?" Aunt Meijing met Su Hao's eyes, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled slightly.
"It's over." Su Hao nodded blankly.
The effect of God's Hand was indeed very potent. Aunt Meijing was not only more beautiful than before, but her temperament also had a touch of holiness, as if she had evolved from a mortal into a fairy.
"Where did you learn such amazing massage techniques?" Aunt Meijing smiled as she looked at Su Hao.
"I... I learned it online." Su Hao casually made up a lie.
"Is that so... The internet really is a magical place." Aunt Meijing rested her chin on her hand, tapping her cheek with her finger: "Xiao Hao, today you not only saved me when I was about to fall, but you also worked so hard to massage me. How do you think I should repay you?"
"Aunt Meijing really wants to repay me?" Su Hao stood up, staring directly at Aunt Meijing.
He belatedly realized that Aunt Meijing, after being massaged by God's Hand, seemed to have become more proactive and aggressive.
"Of course, I'm not someone who forgets kindness." Aunt Meijing leaned in close to Su Hao's ear: "Tell me your request, and I will satisfy you."
"You said that." Su Hao's lips curved upward, and he gently pressed Aunt Meijing's shoulder: "Auntie, do you know that feet have another use?"
"This is your request?" Aunt Meijing was stunned for a moment, then laughed lightly: "I thought you would make a bolder request!"
"I want to, but Wan'en Jie is still here today," Su Hao said helplessly, pointing to the door.
"Alright, then let's go with this request. Gradual progression is also a good process," Aunt Meijing said with a smile, raising her jade foot again.
