7. Century Old Wood

"That I can help." YuXin stood up and pulled Kun up from his seat with a smile, leading him to her bedroom?!

"Wait a minute. What is going on??" Kun asked in fluster, his brain unable to process what on earth YuXin wanted to do to him in her bedroom. Rather, his mind automatically shifted to the only thing a man and woman would do in the bedroom.

"Don't worry, you'll feel better." YuXin held on to Kun's arm and pulled him into the room, pushing him down on her bed.

"No. Wait. It's too fast, I haven't -" Kun's ears were in deep shades of red as he kept looking towards YuXin, trying to get up from the bed but was once again pushed down by YuXin with a determined look on her face.

YuXin looked at Kun whose back is lying flat on her bed and flashed a satisfied smile before climbing on to the bed beside him.

"YuXin, are you sure? Is this what you want?" Kun asked nervously.

"It's what you need." YuXin held on to his right arm and flipped him over to have him lying on his chest this time round.

In one swift motion, she straddle herself on his back and placed two hands on his shoulders, massaging them with finesse. "You need a good massage, your shoulders are too tense."

Realising what YuXin finally meant, Kun buried his head in the mattress in embarrassment. Great Cai Xukun, you're such a lecherous idiot.

But what happened next made his heart palpitate faster as YuXin moved herself down to his lower back, pressing on his spine to remove the tight knots of his muscles. He could feel her bottom pressing down on his lower back as her hands moved up and down his spine. "It's been a while since I massage you. Luckily my skills are not that rusty." YuXin commented proudly, unaware of the agony that Kun was currently facing.

Damn it Kun, stop thinking with your other head. Kun plummet his face down in the mattress trying to calm his inner thoughts and desire. But as he inhale, the familiar scent of YuXin penetrated his nostrils, making him even more excited than before. I'm not sure if I'm in heaven or hell.

After what felt like eternity, YuXin finally got off Kun's back and patted his back with a satisfied grin, "Do you feel better now?"

Kun mustered a soft "Mmn." and rested his left cheek on the mattress, letting out a deep breath. Beads of perspiration was forming on his forehead and YuXin quickly took a piece of tissue and wiped it away for Kun.

"Kun, are you sick?"

"No.. I'm just.. Thirsty." Kun replied trying to appear as normal as possible.

The moment YuXin stepped out of the room to pour him a cup of water he dashed straight into her washroom and locked the door.

The two of them now were sitting at YuXin's couch in the living area watching television while munching on the potato chips. All of a sudden, Kun turned to YuXin and looked at her seriously. "YuXin, have you ever helped anyone else besides me massage?"

YuXin looked at Kun with a confused frown and shook her head. "No.. Why do you have such a serious look on your face?"

He held onto her shoulders and continued in a serious tone, "You can't do that for others.. Okay?"

YuXin started to pout and slapped Kun's lap lightly. "My massaging skills became worse isn't it? Is that why you were sweating just now? Was it really painful?"

That's it, it's my fate to be in love with this piece of century old dense wood. Kun blinked his eyes slowly and took a deep breath before replying,"Whatever it is, you're not allowed to massage anyone else alright?"

YuXin pressed her lips together and nodded  before poking Kun's chest, "I'll just keep using you as my lab rat until my skills improve then."

My gosh, is this my divine punishment?

The next few weeks, Kun was literally swamped with work from the new product launch from finalising the marketing details and collaboration with retail partners to make sure everything was going as planned. Not only that, he had to liaise with other agencies on the other ongoing product, monitoring their sales and stats as well. He didn't even have the time to see fetch YuXin home, only leaving his office near midnight on a daily basis.

Bzz Bzz. His phone vibrated and the screen lit up, indicating an incoming message from Century Old Wood. Kun's lips stretched to a smile and he quickly opened up the chat.

11:48pm [Are you still at work?]
11:48pm [What time are you coming back?]
11:48pm [Have you had your dinner? I've made some soup. Come to my house and get it when you are coming back.]
11:49pm [Don't overwork yourself.]

Seeing the chain of messages from YuXin Kun felt an instant wave of happiness within. Is this what married couples feel like? Having someone to wait for you and have a homecooked meal ready at the end of the day.

Kun looked at his desktop briefly and shut it off.

11:51pm - [I'm coming home now.]
