"Uh! Haha, hehe, that’s so funny, is there... is there more?" Li Mengjie said amidst her laughter.
Helpless, Leng Xuan told another story, "An explosion occurred in Kaifeng, burning an entire residence to the ground and causing many casualties. Bao Zheng and his team hurried to the scene on horseback to investigate the cause.
Suddenly, a doctor carrying a medical box rushed over and pressed something against Bao Zheng’s mouth and nose.
Zhan Zhao was shocked and drew his sword, exclaiming, "Bold villain, how dare you attack Lord Bao!"
The doctor snapped, "Attack your sister! This guy is already charred black from the fire and still running around."
"Haha, hehe... I’m dying of laughter."
Li Mengjie was genuinely laughing so hard that tears were nearly streaming down, her beautiful big eyes turning into crescents, her chest heaving, truly a sight too tempting for one’s own good.
Swallowing hard, Leng Xuan thought, ’Could she at least laugh a bit more gracefully? Does she really not see me as a man?’
With an ’Ai,’ Li Mengjie turned to look at Leng Xuan and laughed, "Your sister is really funny, the jokes she sends you are hilarious. She must be a very adorable girl, right?"
Leng Xuan was just about to let his imagination run wild when he made eye contact with Li Mengjie, and suddenly felt a little guilty and blushed, coughing twice before saying, "Oh... her... um, she is indeed adorable, probably the most adorable girl I have ever seen."
Li Mengjie chuckled and said, "Who’s as shameless as you, praising your own sister to the skies?" She pursed her lips and added, "People say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think it should be changed to ’beauty is in the eye of the brother.’"
Leng Xuan laughed dismissively and didn’t bother to explain, but he couldn’t help but think of this ’sister,’ recalling her every word and smile, every frown and expression, which was indeed indescribably beautiful...
If Li Mengjie knew that the ’sister’ Leng Xuan was talking about was not his biological sister, but one of the four beauties of Tenglong and known as the ’Mengzhu’ school flower, Su Yurou, what kind of expression would she have?
After a while, Li Mengjie suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, does your back still hurt?"
Leng Xuan was startled and was about to say ’It doesn’t hurt anymore,’ but before he could speak, Li Mengjie said, "Wait a moment, I’m going to find some alcohol." With that, she slipped on her fluffy slippers with rabbit ears and scurried upstairs.
After quite some time, Li Mengjie came back down with a crystal bottle filled with purple liquid in her hand, saying, "I couldn’t find alcohol, but this essential oil should do the trick, I read the instructions. Lie down quickly!"
Leng Xuan didn’t expect Li Mengjie to take what he said in the kitchen so seriously, and he felt touched for no reason. He was about to say ’no need, I’m fine,’ but then he thought, having a beautiful woman massage his back, if he refused, would he still be considered a man? And considering she liked to tease him now and then, now that she was offering to massage his back voluntarily, he should just enjoy the moment. So, he confidently stripped off his shirt and lay down on the couch, jokingly saying, "Alright, just don’t apply too much pressure!"
"What... why are you taking off your clothes?" Li Mengjie blushed, as she had only intended for Leng Xuan to lie down and then slightly lift the back of his shirt. She hadn’t expected Leng Xuan to take off his shirt completely. Staring at his solid and broad bare back, she suddenly felt too embarrassed to know what to do.
