Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2859 This is too dangerous!

Charlene was suspicious, but still extended her hand.

Then, she was gently grasped by the boy's hand; his palm was dry and warm.

The moment their skin touched, Charlene felt her heart skip a beat, and her breath hitched slightly.

Shi Ye said gently, "Let me press your acupoints first, maybe that will relieve the pain a little."

"I've already sent some painkillers; please wait a moment."

Charlene lowered her eyes somewhat embarrassed and replied softly, "Actually, it doesn't have to be that complicated. I'll just take a nap and I'll be fine."

Shi Ye smiled faintly, his eyes showing concern: "It's nothing troublesome, relax."

As he spoke, his fingers began to gently yet firmly press the acupoints on her hands.

Charlene couldn't quite describe the feeling.

The boy's fingertips were warm, and each touch felt like a tiny electric current, sending a tingling sensation through her wrists, arms, and even her whole body.

Charlene silently berated herself: Shi Ye was clearly trying to help her with good intentions, how could she have such strange thoughts at this time?

However, the more one tries to restrain oneself, the clearer the tingling and numb sensation from the acupoints becomes.

Under the dual stimulation of psychology and body, her heartbeat became faster and faster, almost out of control.

Charlene felt that her condition hadn't improved; in fact, she felt even worse.

She couldn't help but frown and bend over.

Seeing this, Shi Ye immediately softened his grip and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Charlene forced a smile and replied weakly, "It's...it's alright!"

But her face was pale and her body was trembling slightly, clearly not as relaxed as she claimed.

Shi Ye stared at her intently for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up, bent down without hesitation, and easily lifted her up in his arms.

Caught off guard, Xia Lin let out a soft gasp, her eyes widening in surprise as she looked at him. "Brother Shi Ye? What... what are you doing?"

Shi Ye glanced down at her, his voice gentle yet firm, "I'll take you back to your room; it'll be more comfortable lying in bed."

Then, they carried the person back to the room.

Charlene's ears turned slightly red, her heart raced, yet she inexplicably didn't want to struggle.

She leaned softly against him, her eyes slightly closed, feeling the warmth and steady heartbeat from his chest.

What she was thinking was: Shi Ye's embrace is so warm and makes me feel safe.

A short while later, the two arrived at the room. Shi Ye put the person down and helped cover them with a blanket.

Charlene was surprised that he would leave, and felt a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Shino didn't leave. Instead, he took the kettle, filled it with water, and boiled it.

Then, I found a bottle, slowly poured hot water into it, and carefully tightened the cap to ensure there was no leakage.

He found a clean towel, wrapped it around the thermos to make a makeshift hot water bottle, handed it to Xia Lin, and instructed her, "Hold this to warm your stomach. If you don't have a hot water bottle, this will have to do."

Then, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I could have given you acupuncture, but I don't have the tools."

If you don't mind, I can use a technique passed down in our family to massage your stomach.

Once the hype picks up, it shouldn't feel so bad!

Charlene was stunned for a moment.

Press...stomach?

him?

This thought made her heart race involuntarily, and she tensed up, her fingers unconsciously clenching the blanket.

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Shino said, "If you mind, then forget it?"

Charlene then came to her senses, her voice slightly shy as she mumbled a soft reply, "No... I don't mind."

Shi Ye raised an eyebrow and replied, "Okay."

As he finished speaking, he reached out and gently and naturally lifted a corner of the blanket.

The next second, Xia Lin felt a warm hand firmly placed on her stomach.

In that instant, she almost instinctively tensed up.

The boy's palms were very warm, and the warmth seemed to seep into his skin.

What made her even more nervous was that Shi Ye seemed to be trying to find the acupoints accurately, as he slowly moved his fingertips across her abdominal skin.

The touch was delicate and gentle, like a slow, careful kneading.

Every slight movement sent a shiver through her body, and her breathing became slightly disordered.

It only took a few seconds, but it felt like a long time to Charlene.

Her skin instantly became hot, and a barely perceptible blush crept up her cheeks and ears—a shyness that spread from within.

She instinctively lowered her eyes, not daring to look the other person in the eye.

Tokino noticed her unusual behavior and focused intently on finding the acupoints.

His expression was serious, his brows were slightly furrowed, and all his attention was focused on the sensation at his fingertips.

However, for a moment, his thoughts drifted away.

The girl's skin was so delicate and smooth, like the finest porcelain.

The feel of a flat stomach can give you a moment of disorientation, as if you've touched something, a boundary that shouldn't be touched.

However, it only took a moment before he regained his composure and accurately located the acupoints.

Then, I began to gently knead with just the right amount of pressure.

The body temperature inside the blankets gradually began to rise as he touched her.

Charlene felt as if sparks had fallen onto her skin, first spreading little by little, then quietly expanding, gradually becoming scorching hot, and finally turning into a raging wildfire that swept over her entire body.

A blush uncontrollably spread across my neck, cheeks, ears, and every part of my skin.

This is really... terrible!

What she found particularly hard to resist was the thin callus on the man's palm. Every time he rubbed and pressed it, it had a rough and abrasive feel, a tingling sensation mixed with a slight itch that went straight to her heart.

Charlene barely dared to look up at him, instinctively shrinking deeper into the blankets.

If this continues, we'll definitely be exposed!

Tonight, I can no longer hide my true feelings on the show, and now, in this state, there's nowhere to hide.

She began to regret letting Shino into the house.

She regretted it even more for agreeing to let him massage her stomach.

Her timid, quail-like behavior completely blinded her to the fact that Shi Ye was also somewhat distracted.

He clearly thought of the scenes from the show.

At the time, people made fun of him, but he didn't take those words to heart.

After all... he had always thought that Charlene only saw him as her brother, just like she did with Marcy.

After returning to his room, he browsed the news online and found that netizens were discussing their situation everywhere.

Not only are people crazy about shipping them as a couple, but they're also speculating that Xia Lin actually has a crush on him, with some even saying in private messages, "Look at Xia Lin! She really likes you!"

This is why he went downstairs late at night instead of sleeping.
