"Me?"
Lin Shen, who was sitting to the side sipping an electrolyte drink, pointed to his nose and replied with a helpless tone.
"I don’t know how."
"You don’t know how to give a massage to help someone relax?"
Qin Yuenan walked over and pulled Lin Shen right to his feet.
"Kneading the neck, rubbing the shoulders, massaging the legs. It’s very simple."
’So you’re just dragging me over to be your manual laborer?’
Lin Shen grumbled inwardly. But when he saw Qin Yuenan lie down on his yoga mat, his mind suddenly began to wander.
He had to admit, the ice queen’s figure was pretty top-tier.
It was what people on the internet often called a pear-shaped figure.
Narrow shoulders, a slender waist, hips wider than her shoulders, and fuller thighs.
This body type tended to accumulate fat on the lower body. But after all of Qin Yuenan’s workouts, it didn’t look bloated at all. She even had Venus dimples, an extremely rare and top-tier feature.
Plus, the tendency for a pear-shaped figure to look short and stout was completely negated by her tall 173cm frame.
All in all, she had all the strengths of her body type and none of the weaknesses.
What man wouldn’t like a figure like that?
In any case, Lin Shen suddenly felt that helping Qin Yuenan relax wasn’t such an unacceptable task after all.
"I’ll start with your shoulders then."
After getting Qin Yuenan’s consent, Lin Shen gently straddled her lower back and began to massage her shoulders.
Seeing this, Lu Ran tactfully took her leave.
"Is this pressure okay?"
"Mhm."
Qin Yuenan, who had been resting on her side, buried her face deep in the crook of her arm. A faint blush, imperceptible to Lin Shen, appeared on her cool cheeks.
"Nan, your muscles really are a bit stiff."
Seeing that Qin Yuenan didn’t react, Lin Shen grew bolder and started taking advantage of the situation.
After massaging her shoulders, he gestured for the ice queen to pass her arms back to him. He patted and kneaded them for a while to loosen them up, then moved on to her waist.
"Nan, I’ll help you relax your waist."
Lin Shen tried to look perfectly composed, frantically recalling every sad memory he could think of.
His expression faltered when he noticed a delicate pink hue spreading from the base of Qin Yuenan’s ears to the nape of her neck. She clearly looked shy.
"Nan, are you okay? Am I pressing too hard?"
"I’m fine."
Qin Yuenan forced herself to sound calm.
"You can continue."
’You’re the one who said it!’
A mischievous smile tugged at the corner of Lin Shen’s mouth. As a veteran of the dating scene, he obviously knew what was happening.
’Who knew the ice queen’s back dimples were so much fun!’
’Truly top-tier!’
"SMACK!"
Just as Lin Shen was lost in his thoughts, Qin Yuenan suddenly slapped his thigh, turned her head, and said coldly.
"Get up."
"Done with the massage?"
"I said, get up!"
Lin Shen obediently stood up. Qin Yuenan rolled over and pushed herself into a sitting position on the yoga mat, her pretty face still tinged with a faint blush, her expression a mix of embarrassment and anger.
"You did that on purpose, didn’t you?"
"On purpose? What?"
Lin Shen looked utterly lost, his clear, innocent eyes blinking rapidly, as if he had no idea what had just happened.
Seeing this, Qin Yuenan knew he was only pretending, but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything more. She could only shoot him a vicious glare.
"Is this how you usually take advantage of other girls?"
"You’re the one who asked for a massage!"
Lin Shen spread his hands innocently.
"I’m helping you with a massage. Not only do you not thank me, but now you’re blaming me?"
