Chapter 9 Unprecedented Embarrassment

Massage... massage...

Ye Feng, upon hearing these two words, couldn't help but let his thoughts drift away, his eyes fixated on Su Xiaoqin's chest, he swallowed hard.

He so wanted to give a massage right now!

But, Jiang Yixue was still waiting in the bathroom...

"Brother Xiao Feng, you're naughty, where are you looking?"

Su Xiaoqin's face turned red as she scolded softly, turning her head away, unable to meet his gaze.

Ye Feng snapped back to reality, scratched his head, and laughed: "Hehe, it's just that you're so pretty, I've watched you for so many years and I've never gotten tired."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoqin's cheeks turned even redder.

Thinking to herself that Brother Xiao Feng was becoming naughtier, daring to stare at a girl's chest, claiming he hadn't grown tired of looking for so many years — that was just too rogue...

While she thought this, she felt not disgust but even a sweet sensation.

However, it was at this moment that she suddenly remembered something—

Who was the woman taking a bath at his house during the day?

The moment she thought of this, Su Xiaoqin's joyful mood was immediately shattered. Her eyes fixed on Ye Feng before her, just about to seek clarity, but at this moment Ye Feng spoke up, "Xiao Qin, I need your help with something."

"What is it?"

Su Xiaoqin looked at him, puzzled.

"Well..."

Ye Feng scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Although his relationship with Su Xiaoqin was really good, he was, after all, a man, and asking for a sanitary napkin was the kind of thing that could easily make one seem like a pervert...

Su Xiaoqin blinked: "What's wrong? Just say what you need to say!"

"I..."

Ye Feng took a deep breath, thinking to himself that he'd just have to face death, and he said with gritted teeth, "Could you... could you give me a sanitary pad?"

Su Xiaoqin was stunned when she heard this, staring at him blankly.

Ye Feng was at a loss for words as well, wondering how on earth he had ended up at her house asking for a sanitary pad of all things.

Su Xiaoqin looked at him with a slightly strange expression, "You... what do you need that for?"

Ye Feng quickly explained, "A female patient came to my place. It was the one from the medicinal bath during the day, you saw her. She needs it, not me."

Only then did Su Xiaoqin understand.

She hurriedly opened a cupboard, took out a small package, and handed it to Ye Feng, "Here... take it, just don't let my mom see, or she'll definitely think you're a pervert."

"Don't worry, she definitely won't."

Ye Feng took it and nodded, at which point Su Xiaoqin asked, "By the way, Brother Xiao Feng, do you have some special relationship with that female patient?"

Ye Feng shook his head and countered, "No, why do you ask?"

"Then why were you behind her, wiping her back while she was taking her medicinal bath? That doesn't seem like just a doctor-patient relationship..." Su Xiaoqin pouted, her face showing suspicion.

Ye Feng could only laugh helplessly: "Who said I was wiping her back? I was just administering acupuncture."

Acupuncture?

Upon hearing this explanation, Su Xiaoqin also froze, realizing she had been jealously overthinking the whole situation. It wasn't as she had imagined at all...

"So that's how it is, I thought..."

Su Xiaoqin was in mid-sentence when Wang Yan, holding a plate of fruit, walked up to the door: "Xiao Feng, what are you standing there for, come sit down and have some fruit."

Ye Feng was so startled that he shuddered. He could never have anticipated Auntie Wang coming in at that moment; he quickly shoved the small package of sanitary pads into his pocket.

But it was all too late.

The pocket was small to begin with, and it wasn't easy to fit the small pack of sanitary napkins inside, especially in such a rush.

Wang Yan stood at the door, staring blankly. At that moment, Ye Feng had half of the small pack of sanitary napkins stuffed into his pocket, with the other half still sticking out.

A classic case of hiding the head but not the tail...

The whole room suddenly fell silent, so quiet that it was almost terrifying.

Embarrassment, unprecedented embarrassment.

Su Xiaoqin's face was so red it reached the base of her neck, and her nervous hands were twisting the corners of her clothing, rubbing them nonstop, her mind already in complete disarray.

Ye Feng also rarely felt his face burning.

In the middle of the night, there he was, a grown man sneaking into a girl's room, tucking a pack of sanitary napkins into his pocket, and being seen by her mother, no less—what was this?

"Auntie Wang, I... I was just borrowing it for someone else," Ye Feng hurriedly explained.

Wang Yan looked at Ye Feng with a strange expression, glanced at her daughter, shook her head after putting down the fruit plate, and turned to walk away without saying a word.

"My reputation..."

Ye Feng wanted to cry without tears. Seeing Auntie Wang's strange look, could she really think he was a pervert?

Su Xiaoqin cleared her throat and said, "You should go back now. I will explain things to my mom later."

"Xiao Qin, you're such a good girl. Then I'll be off first."

Ye Feng smiled and pinched her soft cheek, then quickly ran off, clutching the pack of "Divine Artifact" in his pocket.

By the time Ye Feng got home, Jiang Yixue was already anxious—

"My God Ye, you've finally come back. I've missed you so much."

"Hypocritical, you just want what's in my hand, right?"

Ye Feng said irritably, handing over the small pack of sanitary napkins.

Soon, Jiang Yixue got herself sorted out and came out giggling, "At least you have a bit of conscience, not making me wait too long."

Ye Feng grumbled, "You're comfortable now, but my reputation is completely ruined because I helped you get that thing."

"Hehe..."

Jiang Yixue laughed awkwardly. She knew very well that whatever the process was for Ye Feng to obtain those sanitary napkins, as a man, it must have been quite an experience.

Ye Feng looked at her with disdain, "Heartless, I can't believe you can still laugh."

"What else can I do if I don't laugh? Should I cry?"

Jiang Yixue laughed and then looked up at a 45-degree angle into the night sky, patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, and said, "If because of this incident, the villagers really mistake you for a pervert and you end up unable to find a wife, don't worry, I won't be able to help you."

Damn it!

A streak of curses floated through Ye Feng's mind—damn it over and over...

He had guessed the beginning, but not the end.

He had thought Jiang Yixue would be tearfully grateful and then offer herself to repay the debt, but what he heard in the end was "there's nothing I can do"—

"Sigh, what happened to repaying kindness? What happened to the beauty and brilliance of humanity?

Ye Feng was still in contemplation when Jiang Yixue had already turned around, laughing as she walked into the house: "You keep reflecting on life. I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to sleep now. Good night."

"Come on, you heartless woman."

Ye Feng flipped her off, then shook his head with a wry smile, and turned to walk into the house.

But just as Ye Feng had closed the main door and not even made it back to his room, he heard a sharp scream; right after, he saw Jiang Yixue rushing out of the room, her body bare, wearing nothing at all.
