Chapter 152: Let Me Give You a Massage (Extra Chapter for our Leader [My Summoned Fist is in Attack Mode] Classmate)

After touring the school, everyone went to the city center to shop and have fun. During this time, Mei Fang noticed that Xia Yuan seemed a bit off after they took a photo together.

She kept unintentionally leaning towards him, but not as naturally as before when she would hold his arm.

When they ate together, she rested her chin on her hand and stared at him, but whenever their eyes met, she pretended to look elsewhere.

They were childhood friends who had known each other for over ten years; Mei Fang could easily see through Xia Yuan’s little game.

Must be Peng Xue whispering something in her ear again…

Mei Fang decided to play along for now. Xia Yuan’s nature was hard to hide, so she’d likely give up within a day. If he paid too much attention, it might lead to misunderstandings.

Everyone enjoyed eating and drinking out, then they took a taxi back together. Mei Fang ended up paying for everything.

“By the way, since yesterday, how much have we spent? Mei Fang, did you keep track?”

Yu Xinyi reminded Mei Fang, “We should split the bill when we leave.”

“That’s fine… I’ll take care of it.”

Mei Fang waved his hand with a smile, “It’s nothing. You guys came all the way to Jiangcheng, I should treat you well. After all, you’ve helped us with the game.”

“You’re making me feel bad… I didn’t do anything for the game.”

Peng Xue chimed in, “Why don’t we just split the cost? We’re all students, no one’s money grows on trees.”

“If you insist, I won’t argue.”

For Mei Fang, taking the girls out was a small expense. He appreciated their straightforward attitude.

“Let’s split it then.”

Mei Fang whispered to Lin You Xi to help calculate the expenses, but he suggested leaving out the taxi fare to ease the burden on the real students.

Nowadays, Mei Fang mostly handled his business finances himself, which sometimes gave him a headache. He hoped his close friend would manage the team’s finances, but he felt using her for such tasks was a waste of talent.

They still had some time before forming a proper company, so he wasn’t in a rush. Perhaps in university, he would learn more about finance.

After returning from their outing, everyone collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted.

“Quickly go take a shower and get some sleep. There’s a concert tomorrow, and it’s a long trip.”

Xia Yuan urged everyone to go shower.

“At your age, you know how relaxing it is to just eat and drink at a hotel for three days. Who wants to tour景点?”

“Mei Fang, why do you sound like a useless middle-aged man?”

Yu Xinyi made a face.

“I have a cousin who’s exactly like you. Last time he went to Luodu, he stayed at a hotel with his friends and came back. It was hilarious.”

“Alright, alright, we can laugh later.”

Peng Xue saw Lin You Xi enter the bathroom with clothes, then pushed Yu Xinyi to get up, “Let’s go rest in the room!”

“Why rest in the living room? Why go to the room?”

“Just go to the room, I have something to talk to you about.”

Peng Xue dragged the confused Yu Xinyi into a small room and winked at Xia Yuan.

This was creating an opportunity for Xia Yuan to be alone with me.

Mei Fang lay on the sofa, yawning, looking at Xia Yuan, who was pretending to watch TV.

I know Xia Yuan well enough. She won’t make any moves.

…

Mei Fang stared at Xia Yuan’s back for a while, but she didn’t move.

Lin You Xi will be done showering soon. Say what you want to say!

Mei Fang moved next to Xia Yuan and poked her back, startling her.

“Woah! What are you doing?”

“What do you mean ‘what are you doing’…”

Mei Fang rolled his eyes at Xia Yuan, “What’s wrong with you today? You seem weird.”

“Wha— weird? No, not really…”

Xia Yuan scratched her face awkwardly, “I’m just happy to hang out, but I’m too tired to talk.”

“Oh…”

Mei Fang scrutinized Xia Yuan, “Well, as long as you’re happy.”

Mei Fang lay back down to rest.

Come on, Xia Yuan… What are you doing?

…

Peng Xue told Xia Yuan to use the chance to deepen her relationship with Mei Fang.

But Xia Yuan couldn’t think of anything more intimate than super energy.

Going further would mean crossing the boundaries she had set with Lin You Xi.

She couldn’t deepen her feelings with Mei Fang anymore!

What else can I do with him to deepen our bond?

Just as Xia Yuan was at a loss, Mei Fang finally stood up and nudged her shoulder.

“Do you want to recharge super energy?”

“Now?

Xia Yuan hesitated internally, but eventually nodded and hugged Mei Fang.

Although cliché, it was comforting!

But…

Xia Yuan was annoyed by Mei Fang’s unresponsive behavior.

She circled his neck and whined.

“Are you not fond of me anymore?”

“What’s this all of a sudden?”

Though smart, Mei Fang often struggled to understand Xia Yuan’s emotional triggers.

“Just… I feel like you’re just going through the motions now.”

“Because I’m tired. And even though I’m tired, I still want to stay close to you. That’s love, right?”

Xia Yuan blushed, “Today was indeed tiring… You didn’t really want to go shopping, did you? We forced you, sorry for the trouble.”

“It’s okay… Staying home all the time isn’t good either—”

“Seeing how tired you are, let me give you a massage!”

“A massage?”

Xia Yuan held Mei Fang’s cheeks, “You know, I’m pretty good at massaging shoulders! I used to help my parents with their shoulders and legs. My dad loved it when I massaged his back.”

“Really? I never knew.”

“Of course! See for yourself!”

Xia Yuan sat on Mei Fang’s lap and began massaging his shoulders.

“How’s that? Not bad, right?”

“…I can hardly feel it.”

Mei Fang advised, “You need to put more effort in, or I won’t feel anything.”

Being told her specialty was being rejected, Xia Yuan was naturally upset.

“Then… like this?”

“Somewhat better.”

“This… this… this!”

“Oh! Right there…”

Clearly enjoying the massage, Mei Fang moved away and lay back on the sofa, “Help me rub my back.”

“Directly step on it? Won’t you get hurt?”

“No worries, my back needs that pressure.”

Mei Fang patted his back, “Come on, Xia Yuan, don’t dawdle.”

“Fine…”

After some hesitation, Xia Yuan decided to go barefoot and stepped on his back.

Another update from the underworld, there’s still an extra chapter for the leader.
