Lin Meiyu was somewhat moved by Wu Tian's confidence. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Since you say you can, then give me a massage."
Wu Tian, however, shook his head and replied, "I'm not going to massage you. Don't you remember how you treated me earlier?"
"You looked down on me so much, and yet I'm supposed to massage you? Wouldn't that lower my value?"
Lin Meiyu was stunned, then frowned, saying, "You're a grown man, why are you so petty? Can't you handle something like this?"
Wu Tian retorted, "Well, I'm sorry, but I am indeed petty. If you don't apologize to me, I won't help you."
Lin Meiyu was so angry she could have gnashed her teeth and bitten Wu Tian to death. Her pride was immense, and by rights, she shouldn't have spoken to Wu Tian again. However, her cervical spine was in so much pain that sometimes it even kept her awake at night, so she wanted to resolve the issue quickly. After a moment of internal struggle, she had to yield to Wu Tian.
She nodded slightly and said, "My attitude was bad earlier. I apologize to you. Is that acceptable?"
Seeing such an icy beauty like Lin Meiyu bow her head to him, Wu Tian felt a sense of satisfaction. He smiled and nodded, "Since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly give you a massage."
Wu Tian's smug expression made Lin Meiyu fume. However, she suppressed her anger for the moment and didn't say anything further. Wu Tian stood up and walked behind Lin Meiyu. From his angle, he could perfectly see the cleavage of Lin Meiyu. Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly before beginning the massage.
Strangely, although Lin Meiyu had undergone massages many times before, she felt something peculiar about Wu Tian's touch today. She couldn't quite describe the feeling, but her body felt itchy all over, and she involuntarily squirmed. Yet, at the same time, she found Wu Tian's technique incredibly comfortable, even more so than those of high-end experts. Her neck, which had felt stiff and painful, now felt as though the muscles and flesh were slowly softening. The sensation was almost heavenly.
As he massaged, Wu Tian said, "Although I can cure your cervical spondylosis this time, it doesn't mean it won't recur. You shouldn't always be looking down while you work. You need to rest when you need to."
"Having ambition is a good thing, but ruining your health is not worth it."
Wu Tian's words were casual, but Lin Meiyu was taken aback. She came from a single-parent family; her father had left with another woman long ago, and her mother had raised her through hardship. Her mother had always told her that a woman must be strong to avoid being betrayed by men. Thus, she had always strived in her studies and work, aiming to become stronger and stronger. She grew up in a high-pressure environment, and no one had ever told her to rest. But Wu Tian's words today warmed her heart, making her feel as though someone in the world cared about her. A strange feeling, like water, flowed through her heart.
She recalled Wu Tian's overbearing actions at the driving range. Then she thought of his warm and gentle words just now. In that moment, she suddenly felt that Wu Tian was the perfect man for her. She wanted to find someone like him for a boyfriend! For such a man, she would give her all.
Wu Tian, unaware of Lin Meiyu's thoughts, released his hands after the massage was nearly complete. "It's done. Try moving your neck."
"It's already better?" Lin Meiyu was astonished. It had been less than three minutes in total, shorter than even a basic massage! Yet, at the same time, she truly felt the heaviness in her neck had lessened, replaced by a sense of ease. She tried turning her neck; there were no obstacles, and it felt incredibly comfortable. She hadn't experienced such a feeling in a long time. She couldn't help but stand up and stretch her slender waist.
"Ah... so comfortable..."
But she made a serious mistake. She had forgotten she was only wrapped in a bath towel! As she stretched, the towel slipped off her body! Her perfectly curved body was completely exposed to Wu Tian's eyes!
Instantly, the air seemed to fall silent... Wu Tian's mouth hung open, utterly stunned. Although Lin Meiyu was still wearing her undergarments, the scene was undeniably voluptuous! Lin Meiyu stared blankly at Wu Tian, and after a long pause, a shriek filled the room. Her face turned beet red as she snatched up the towel and dashed into the bathroom.
Only after the bathroom door closed did Wu Tian snap back to reality. He rubbed his nose and chuckled, "Quite a profitable encounter..."
When Lin Meiyu emerged from the bathroom, her shirt had almost dried, so she quickly changed into her clothes. Since the rain outside was only a thunderstorm, it passed quickly. Seeing that the rain had mostly stopped, Wu Tian and Lin Meiyu soon returned to Zhou Hua.
Zhou Hua's connections were indeed impressive; in just one afternoon, he had arranged Wu Tian's driver's license. He handed the license to Wu Tian and then presented him with a voucher. "Wu Tian, I promised to get you a new Mercedes-Benz. This is the signed order. You can go to the 4S store to pick up the car whenever you want."
Wu Tian had nearly finished learning to drive, so he accepted the gift. Seeing that matters were mostly settled, Wu Tian didn't linger and left the Zhou family's residence. Lin Meiyu escorted Wu Tian to the road.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You don't need to see me off. I'm going to take the bus here. You should head back."
Lin Meiyu looked at Wu Tian, her usual cold demeanor gone, replaced by a hint of shyness. She asked Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, can we meet again?"
Wu Tian was surprised by Lin Meiyu's question. He pondered for a moment, then smiled and replied, "We'll meet again if fate allows. Perhaps I'll come visit someday."
Lin Meiyu thought to herself that she couldn't let this happen. If Wu Tian never came back, she would never see him again. So, she pulled out her phone and asked, "Can I add you on WeChat?"
Seeing Lin Meiyu's QR code, Wu Tian was taken aback. Weren't they quite at odds with each other? How had things progressed to the point of exchanging WeChat information so quickly?
