When Xu Youxiang opened her eyes in the morning, the first thing she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.
After a moment of confusion, she remembered that she was currently at An Siyao’s house.
Sitting up, she grabbed her phone and opened a calling app.
A minute later, a maid entered the room to help her get dressed and wash up, and then brought breakfast.
After finishing her meal, Xu Youxiang lay in bed playing games and scanning the room with her eyes.
The large and empty room sparked the idea of going downstairs for a walk.
With the maid’s help, she got into her wheelchair and rolled around the room before reaching the balcony.
The wind blew against her face, somewhat cold, but she felt a sense of ease.
People need to move around occasionally. Previously at home, she had always stayed in bed, making it hard to feel energetic, and there was no space for her to move around in a wheelchair.
After watching the courtyard below for a while, Xu Youxiang felt another urge to go downstairs, so she had the maid push her down.
Once downstairs, she dismissed the maid and began wheeling herself around the yard, feeling even more delighted.
At home, she would never go downstairs for leisurely strolls because the downstairs area was public. Here, however, the downstairs of the villa was still a private domain.
What a great villa it was.
Stretching her body, Xu Youxiang stopped under a tree, gazing around.
Her tranquility was soon interrupted when the maid came to tell her that An Siyao wanted to see her.
Knowing it was probably that person again, Xu Youxiang followed the maid into the villa.
Using a special wooden board, the maid paved a path up the stairs for the wheelchair, and pushed Xu Youxiang upstairs.
“What does she want me for?” Xu Youxiang casually asked the maid behind her.
“Probably to sleep,” the maid replied.
“???!”
Sleep? What kind of answer was that!
Before Xu Youxiang could ask further, they had already arrived at An Siyao’s room.
Pushing the door open, she saw Xia Yu.
Thinking about the two words the maid had just said, Xu Youxiang felt uneasy. At that moment, the maid left her alone, making her even more anxious.
Approaching Xu Youxiang, Xia Yu bent down and hugged her.
“W-what are you doing?” Xu Youxiang asked nervously.
Placing her on the bed, Xia Yu reassured her: “It’s okay, it’ll be quick.”
After saying that, he took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed as well.
Under Xu Youxiang’s fearful gaze, Xia Yu lifted her head and placed it on his lap, stroking her face with his hand.
Soon, Xu Youxiang began to feel drowsy.
“Lost lamb, what troubles do you have?” Xia Yu asked.
Feeling a sense of peace, Xu Youxiang instinctively said, “I feel like that guy…”
She suddenly realized what she was saying and hastily stopped herself halfway.
That guy? Who was that guy? Xia Yu was curious.
But Xu Youxiang had already become very cautious. Comforting was just comforting, not hypnosis, so it couldn’t force someone to reveal things they didn’t want to say.
But since she refused to speak, Xia Yu couldn’t perform any mental therapy.
This was a classic case of a patient refusing treatment.
Helpless, Xia Yu gave up on the mental therapy and used soothing techniques to help Xu Youxiang fall asleep.
The reason he had brought Xu Youxiang over was to help restore her mental health. Previously, she had wanted to commit suicide because she couldn’t move her legs, and now she had completely lost the use of her legs, so her psychological pressure must have increased significantly.
After confirming that Xu Youxiang was asleep, Xia Yu placed her head on the pillow.
Standing up, he went to a specially prepared room and provided comfort and mental therapy to several other maids.
After that, he found himself somewhat at a loose end.
The special room for comfort at school hadn’t been set up yet, so going there to comfort students would be inefficient.
At this moment, Luo Yali approached him.
“Yao, come here, I’ll teach you yoga,” Luo Yali said, pulling Xia Yu toward the dance studio.
This was the place where An Siyao had learned to dance as a child, and now Luo Yali used it as a yoga room.
The heating in the room was slightly warmer than outside. Luo Yali led Xia Yu to change into tight, breathable clothes and began doing warm-up exercises on the mat.
Her real purpose for calling Xia Yu wasn’t actually to teach yoga, but rather to find out exactly what kind of cooperation existed between Xu Youxiang and the other party.
The driver’s speculation had only slightly frightened her, and after the scare passed, Luo Yali felt she was probably not in any real danger, so she resumed her plan.
Her plan was to observe An Siyao, to confirm whether she posed a threat to An Feixiong and what kind of threat that might be.
Most of these wealthy women who had climbed their way up later in life lacked a sense of security. Only by giving birth to a son and having him inherit the family business could they feel at ease.
“You should try it too. It’s not hard and it’s good exercise for your body,” Luo Yali said.
Following her words, Xia Yu began doing the exercises with her.
“It feels a bit…” An Siyao’s voice echoed in his mind but stopped halfway.
With Luo Yali beside him, Xia Yu couldn’t directly ask her.
He thought since An Siyao had stopped talking, it must not be anything urgent, and he could ask her about it later.
His current goal was to see what Luo Yali really wanted to do.
Xia Yu also knew that Luo Yali wouldn’t simply be teaching him yoga.
After finishing the warm-up exercises, Luo Yali began the real yoga session. While teaching Xia Yu, she said, “Yoga is a great thing, better than those dances for physical exercise, especially in terms of flexibility and agility. Men like that nowadays.”
At this point, Luo Yali looked proud. Her academic background was average, her abilities were average, and although her appearance was passable, it wasn’t particularly stunning. The only thing she was proud of was her physical flexibility. No matter how difficult the pose, she could master it after a little practice.
Feeling proud, Luo Yali couldn’t help but want to show off to Xia Yu. She lifted her left leg up to her neck.
Before she could proudly say anything, she saw Xia Yu also lift his left leg up to his neck.
“What’s wrong?” Facing her fixed gaze, Xia Yu asked in confusion.
She had told him to follow her lead, and he hadn’t done anything wrong.
He felt he could even lift his right leg up as well. With level 4 dexterity, these movements were no challenge for him.
He didn’t know that Luo Yali hadn’t meant for him to follow her lead but rather to show off.
Luo Yali’s competitive spirit kicked in. She stood up and raised her other leg, performing a standing split.
Xia Yu followed suit. He felt that not only could he do a standing split, but even a 360-degree aerial split was possible.
Seeing that she couldn’t outdo Xia Yu with leg moves, Luo Yali tried a handstand.
At this point, Xia Yu had already realized that Luo Yali was looking for a fight.
He not only did the handstand split but also, when getting up, instead of putting one foot down and turning 180 degrees like Luo Yali did, he pushed off with his hands, leapt into the air, twisted 180 degrees, and landed steadily on the ground.
Luo Yali took a couple of steps back, leaning against the wall, looking at Xia Yu in disbelief.
After ten years of hard practice, she had been outdone by this amateur!
At this moment, she had completely forgotten her original purpose of trying to get information from him, and was solely determined to prove that she was more flexible than Xia Yu.
However, the more they compared, the more disheartened she became.
After Xia Yu performed a series of gymnastic splits, rolls, and jumps, she completely lost her fighting spirit. Mumbling a couple of polite phrases, she left the dance studio in a daze.
Leaving Xia Yu alone, puzzled and full of questions.
Could it be that Luo Yali had really just come to teach yoga?
Otherwise, why hadn’t she mentioned anything else?
Come to think of it, he hadn’t expected dexterity to be so useful. The feeling of stretching his body like this was really great.
After doing a few more moves on the spot, a mournful sound appeared in Xia Yu’s mind, and then his vision went black as he returned to his own body.
[“An Siyao’s shyness has reached the critical point; you cannot log in temporarily.”]
So that was what the half-finished sentence meant.
Just a few yoga moves, was it really that much?
It seemed An Siyao was still too innocent. Next time, he should try with another body.
Xu Youxiang was out of the question, so the only remaining option was that mentally stable old doctor’s body with the mental therapy bonus.
Too stimulating, better not.
Picking up his phone, Xia Yu checked the time. It was only 2 p.m.
He walked out the door, where Kong Hanyue and the others were still making pastries, and he joined them.
“Let’s set it for the day after tomorrow, we’ll go to the amusement park together,” Kong Hanyue casually decided, “Zez will probably be busy, so it’ll just be the four of us.”
Looking up, Xia Yu examined the group composition: one male and four females.
He could already imagine the attention he would draw when taking these four girls to the amusement park.
