Chapter 173: Phone Call
Hearing Lu Shuangyue's words, Liu Ergou chuckled and rubbed the spot where she had kicked him. He then started counting on his fingers, calculating the time.
"Shuang Yue, I did the math," he said. "We've only been apart for three or four days, so it's still way too early for your next treatment! I think you don't really want me to treat you. You say it's for treatment, but you actually just miss me, right?" he added with a laugh.
However, Lu Shuangyue didn't answer him. The only reply was silence, which puzzled Liu Ergou.
He turned his head and saw that she had already stripped off her clothes and was lying facedown on the bed. The sight nearly made Liu Ergou's eyes pop out of their sockets.
Before he could even speak, Lu Shuangyue said, "What are you still standing there spouting nonsense for? Hurry up and get over here! Stop dilly-dallying and treat me!"
Her words finally snapped Liu Ergou back to reality. Is she really being this proactive? This is... I don't think I can handle this.
Seeing Liu Ergou just standing there, motionless, Lu Shuangyue frowned with impatience.
"What are you daydreaming about?" she said coquettishly. "I told you to come here. Hurry up and don't waste any more time!"
With her shouting at him, Liu Ergou finally came to his senses and scurried over to begin her treatment.
Initially, the session proceeded according to standard practice. Liu Ergou massaged Lu Shuangyue in a regular manner, but during the process, complications inevitably arose. For example, the massage was so pleasurable that Lu Shuangyue couldn't help but moan repeatedly. Within minutes, her entire body flushed crimson, presenting a truly tempting sight.
Lu Shuangyue herself was struggling to cope. Her passion had long since overflowed, washing away what little reason she had left.
Normally, both of them would grit their teeth and exercise restraint, not daring to cross the line. This time, however, was different. They had already done everything that could happen between a man and a woman, and even things that shouldn't have. At this point, there was nothing left to hold back. The only thing to do was wait for the treatment to end.
They held out for another ten-odd minutes. As soon as the massage was over, Lu Shuangyue could no longer restrain herself. Ignoring the sweat slicking her skin, she rolled over and pounced into Liu Ergou's arms, pinning him beneath her.
Liu Ergou, of course, knew exactly what was coming next. He simply chuckled and switched off the hotel lights. In an instant, the room was filled with an amorous air, leaving everything to the imagination. Sweet sounds drifted continuously from within. It was a good thing this was a three-star hotel with excellent soundproofing; had it been any other place, everyone would have likely heard the commotion.
「Time flew by, and soon it was afternoon.」
By now, Lu Shuangyue was completely limp on the bed, her gaze hazy as she stared at the ceiling. As for Liu Ergou, despite having gone through a third round, he didn't show the slightest sign of fatigue. On the contrary, he seemed even more energetic than before.
Holding Lu Shuangyue, he lay with her on the bed. They rested for a long time, until the sky began to darken. Only then did Lu Shuangyue manage to drag her weary body from the bed. Feeling her sticky skin, she prepared to take a shower. But the moment she stood up, her legs gave out, and she collapsed back onto the mattress.
Seeing this, Liu Ergou laughed shamelessly. His laughter earned him a fierce glare from Lu Shuangyue.
"What are you laughing at! Take a look at the reason I'm in this state!"
Called out by her, Liu Ergou felt a pang of guilt and lowered his head, not daring to say another word. He quickly recovered, however, and hurried to scoop Lu Shuangyue into his arms and carry her toward the bathroom.
"Shuang Yue, don't be angry," he said as he walked. "I'll help you!"
Hearing this, Lu Shuangyue's first instinct was to refuse. However, before she could voice her objection, Liu Ergou was already carrying her into the bathroom. What was supposed to be a simple shower ended up taking over an hour.
When they finally emerged, it was no surprise that Liu Ergou was carrying Lu Shuangyue.
Nestled in his arms, Lu Shuangyue couldn't help but roll her eyes dramatically. This 'treatment' is turning out to be worse than the illness itself.
Speaking of her illness, a thought occurred to her. "Er Gou, how is my condition now? How many more treatments do I need?"
Hearing her question, Liu Ergou didn't hide anything and told her straight. "Your condition is about eighty percent cured. The rest just needs time and rest to heal properly. But there's one thing you don't have to worry about—your life is definitely not in danger!"
Hearing this, Lu Shuangyue simply nodded without saying anything more. The two of them rested for a while longer. By this time, the sky had turned completely dark.
Suddenly, Liu Ergou's stomach let out an embarrassingly loud rumble. The sound was so clear that Lu Shuangyue heard it perfectly, causing the thick-skinned Liu Ergou to actually blush.
"Heh heh, I'm a little hungry. Sorry about that!"
Seeing Liu Ergou's red face, Lu Shuangyue burst into a snicker. To see Liu Ergou blush… that's a rare sight indeed. She couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Hahaha, you're actually blushing! That's really something!"
Already embarrassed, Liu Ergou felt his face grow even hotter at her comment. However, Lu Shuangyue didn't continue teasing him. Instead, she got dressed, and they went downstairs together for dinner. They naturally chose to eat at their current hotel. It was, without a doubt, the best hotel in town, offering the finest food and lodging.
They requested a private room, and after placing their order, they waited patiently. A few minutes later, the dishes began to arrive. Liu Ergou was starving, so he dropped all pleasantries and began to dig in. Lu Shuangyue was also quite hungry by this point and started eating in small, delicate bites with her chopsticks.
However, just as they were enjoying their meal, Lu Shuangyue's phone suddenly rang. She answered, but after exchanging only a few words, her expression turned ugly. With a grim look, she hung up and turned to Liu Ergou. "Er Gou, you go ahead and eat. I have some urgent business at my company that I need to handle. I'll go back for a bit. I'll settle the bill on my way out, so after you finish, just head back to the room and rest. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done!"
