SFFCK (Complete)

Chapter 13

Xu Lian straightforwardly decided for the wounded Xiang ChangKong. Licking his lips, Xiang ChangKong said nothing.

Xu Lian picked up the bottle, opened it, and poured some liquor into her palm. The scent of liquor immediately permeated the room, but it wasn't anything pungent. Xu Lian touched Xiang ChangKong's knee, pressing on it gently. Soon, she heard him hum in a low tone.

"Hurts?"

Xiang ChangKong shook his head and replied: "No, it was just a little cold."

"It'll warm up soon." Xu Lian said.

As she helped press the medicine into his knee, Xu Lian explained her massage techniques to him, her pressure remaining very light. After a while, the medicine began to warm.

"Did you get any complaints yesterday?" Xu Lian asked.

"No," Xiang ChangKong replied.

"That's good." Xu Lian adjusted her posture and slightly increased the pressure. "You should make sure not to exert yourself too much. Don't put much weight on it for more than 15 minutes at a time."

"Nn...." As Xiang ChangKong listened to Xu Lian, his gaze subconsciously lowered to her. Because she was looking down, her hair was hanging down her face. A small movement caused her eyelashes to flutter. From Xiang ChangKong's angle, the tiny tremble made her lashes look longer. She seemed to have gone for a darker shade of red today, as her lips seemed especially seductive...as if tempting people to gently bite...

Xiang ChangKong's heart was beating faster than ever, and his breathing deepened a little. As if sensing his change, Xu Lian lifted her head and coincidentally met his eyes straight on.

Xu Lian had always felt that Xiang ChangKong's deep eyes had many secrets buried in its depths. But to her surprise, his eyes this time was covered with a layer of water, and seemed bright. The medicinal alcohol on her palm felt like it was burning her skin, and Xu Lian shrank a little into herself. She felt her heart beating at an abnormal speed. She felt like she was drowning in this familiar feeling, as if she was moments away from disaster.

It felt like some invisible hands were stretching the silence, and this moment became extraordinarily long.

Pulling down his pant leg, Xiang ChangKong suddenly stood up: "That's good, thank you."

Xu Lian looked at his flustered expression, then he hastily left. She sat on the sofa and saw the bottle on top of the small table in front of her.

Ah, he forgot to take the alcohol.

She stared at the bottle for a while. Then she tightened the cap, picked up her belongings, closed the store, and went home.

When she arrived back at her place, Xu Lian worked especially hard. She still had a lot of orders to do, and she brought along the beeswax to continue. She wasn't really paying attention to what she was doing, and before she realized it, she had wrapped more than a hundred pieces of candles...

Seeing the mountain of candles, Xu Lian sighed softly.

On Thursday, MONSTER formally resumed its operations. Wei YiChen sent along a bunch of flowers to commemorate the occasion. Xu Lian placed the beeswax candles on the display cabinet. She also placed a big red one on a candlestick and lit it. As it burned, beautiful tears of beeswax started to drip down, and she took more than ten pictures in succession.

Xu Lian's photography skills were self-taught. She had bought several books about photography and studied that way. Then, she gradually accumulated experience through actual combat. Now, all the promotional photos used in her store was done by her, with these beautiful scenes attracting many customers.
