Chapter 6 Don't Stop

"Am I beautiful?" Su Hanyan suddenly spoke to her own reflection.

Gu Xiangnan’s heart skipped a beat. Did his senior sister know he was watching her?

"You’re truly beautiful!" Su Hanyan changed her tone to imitate a man, answering her own question.

So she was just performing a monologue.

Still... Gu Xiangnan had never known that his formidable senior sister had such an adorable side in private.

She picked up a few clothes from somewhere off-screen and walked away into the distance. Entering a door, the sound of running water came from the video feed.

So she was taking a shower.

Perhaps living alone for so long, Su Hanyan had forgotten that there were surveillance cameras installed at home. What she said earlier wasn’t meant for him at all.

Gu Xiangnan hurriedly looked around for tissue to stop his nosebleed, but after searching everywhere, he couldn’t find any. He opened a door, which turned out to be the guest bathroom.

He splashed cold water on his forehead for quite some time before finally stopping the bleeding.

When he came out of the bathroom holding some tissues, Su Hanyan was standing right in front of him.

To make matters worse... the television nearby was still on.

Su Hanyan glanced at the TV.

Gu Xiangnan reached out to take her hand, wanting to explain, "Let me make an excuse—no, let me explain, I turned on the TV and this image just popped up. I swear, I didn’t see anything!"

Su Hanyan looked at the tissues in his hand, then at him.

Realizing what she was thinking, Gu Xiangnan quickly threw the tissues onto the sofa. "Senior sister, it’s not what you think. It’s all a misunderstanding!"

Su Hanyan wasn’t angry. Their master had told them before that the junior’s constitution was unique, and he would need the help of several senior sisters to continue progressing.

In other words, she was destined to be his sooner or later.

But she had never dated anyone, and was just as inexperienced in matters between men and women.

Just thinking about it made her cheeks flush bright red.

"Xiaonan, we’ve both grown up. We can’t sleep together like we did as children anymore," Su Hanyan said shyly. "Let me show you your room."

The corridor on the second floor was long, with rooms on both sides.

Opposite Su Hanyan’s room, a nameplate hung on the door that read "Junior Brother."

Gu Xiangnan looked at her in surprise. "Senior sister, is this room reserved just for me?"

"Mm, not only for you—each of the other six junior sisters also has a room."

This surprised Gu Xiangnan.

He walked along the corridor and saw that the other doors also bore nameplates: "Second Junior Sister" and "Third Junior Sister."

"The other four rooms are upstairs."

"Senior sister, you’re so thoughtful, always thinking of all of us. I should’ve come down the mountain to find you all sooner!" Gu Xiangnan was moved.

"It’s alright, now that you’re back, that’s all that matters."

"Don’t worry, senior sister, I’ll bring the rest of the sisters back. When that day comes, we’ll all be reunited."

Su Hanyan nodded with satisfaction.

After she returned to her room, Gu Xiangnan showered and rested as well.

Early the next morning, Gu Xiangnan was awakened by the ringing of his phone.

Without opening his eyes, he reached out and saw it was Wu Meiyu calling.

She had promised to introduce him to some work. They had agreed he would go to her house today for a massage therapy session for her friend.

Gu Xiangnan had planned to go to the gym first to move his luggage, so he asked Wu Meiyu to pick him up there.

By the time he arrived, the gym was already open. After packing his things, Wu Meiyu drove up just as he finished.

At Wu Meiyu’s home, a beautiful married woman was waiting in the living room.

When they entered, she stood up.

Wu Meiyu introduced her proactively, "This is my good friend, Bai Huabing."

"Hello, Sister Bai, my name is Gu Xiangnan, but just call me Xiaonan," he greeted her warmly.

Bai Huabing had heard from Wu Meiyu that Gu Xiangnan was young, but she wasn’t expecting him to be so handsome.

"Xiaonan? Meiyu, you really don’t play fair. Hiding such a handsome guy from us all this time?" Bai Huabing joked, laughing.

Realizing the misunderstanding, Gu Xiangnan blushed furiously, which only heightened his youthful charm.

A married woman like Bai Huabing found this innocence especially appealing.

She winked at him. "Coach Gu, do you have eight-pack abs? Why don’t you take off your shirt and let me see?"

Wu Meiyu came back with coffee and stuffed it into Bai Huabing’s hands, saying, "Don’t get any ideas. His senior sister is my boss. How could a mere mortal like me dare to covet him?" She quickly explained, "Aren’t you here to see Coach Gu for treatment? Let’s focus on that."

Bai Huabing took Gu Xiangnan’s arm and pointed to her chest. "There’s a lump here—can you check if you can cure it?"

"Uh... in that area, isn’t it a bit inappropriate?" Gu Xiangnan blushed again.

He’d never massaged a woman there before; the most was seeing his senior sister’s, but never with his hands.

"A healer shouldn’t distinguish between men and women," Wu Meiyu encouraged.

They came up with a compromise: Gu Xiangnan would treat her through a cloth.

Bai Huabing lay down, her upper body covered.

She slipped off her bra beneath the cloth, and only then did Gu Xiangnan reach in.

His first gentle squeeze made Bai Huabing gasp.

Wu Meiyu couldn’t tell whether she was in pain or enjoying it.

Gu Xiangnan was surprised by the soft, springy sensation. He was a healthy young man; if he hadn’t just seen his senior sister the night before, he might not have been able to restrain himself.

He took a deep breath, focused, and began to examine her seriously.

With that first squeeze, he could feel the lump inside.

He probed the edges to determine its size.

"Does it hurt when I press here?" he asked, frowning.

"Yes, it does."

"You have a breast nodule. If it’s not treated properly, it might turn cancerous in the future."

"What should I do then?"

"Honestly, today’s massage can only relieve the pain. To truly heal, I’ll need to prescribe you some medicine."

"Medicine? Can Chinese medicine really cure it? How long will it take?"

"Of course traditional medicine can cure it," Gu Xiangnan replied, making an ‘OK’ gesture. "Just three doses will do."

Bai Huabing’s eyes widened.

She had been to several big hospitals, and every doctor said surgery was necessary.

Yet this handsome young man claimed three days of herbal medicine would be enough?

Bai Huabing was skeptical, but since it was just three days, she decided to give it a try.

"Xiaonan, if you cure me, I’ll make sure to reward you handsomely!"

"Sister Bai, I’ll massage you for a bit—it shouldn’t hurt at all after that. Once we’re done, I’ll prepare three doses of medicine for you to take home."

With that, he reached in again, kneading and releasing alternately.

His Giant Yuan Palm made his hand feel warm, almost like a hot compress, making the massage even more effective.

Strangely enough, after a while, the pain vanished.

It was replaced by a wondrous sensation—a warm current, like tiny ants crawling, rose from her lower belly all the way up, making her heart flutter.

A gasp escaped her lips.

Bai Huabing’s face was flushed, her entire body tingling with pleasure. She wished the feeling would last forever and never stop.
