It's just that they have money.

Luo Shanshan's face flushed bright red instantly, and her eyes darted around the private room in a panic, wishing she could disappear into the ground immediately.

The private room was a double room, with two massage beds placed side by side without any partition in between.

"Then why...why are you getting a massage here too?" Luo Shanshan instinctively gripped the towel around her neck.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Fang Chen suppressed a laugh and said seriously, "If you're going to help someone, you might as well go all the way. I can't just leave you here alone, can I? Besides, I'm tired too, I need to relax."

"But...but..." Luo Shanshan twisted her fingers, unable to finish her sentence, "This place is...is it all together?"

"Otherwise what?" Fang Chen raised an eyebrow, deliberately drawing out his words. "Did you think I'd just stand outside waiting? How boring."

Luo Shanshan lowered her head even further, her ears turning so red they looked like they could bleed.

Her mind was a jumbled mess, filled with all sorts of chaotic images.

Even the pain in my back has lessened somewhat.

How could this be?

Even though I know he's not a bad person, this is still so shameful!

Wait a minute... Luo Shanshan suddenly realized why she subconsciously felt that Fang Chen wasn't a bad person?

Just as she was lost in thought, a male and a female massage therapist walked in.

The female nurse went straight to Luo Shanshan's bed and politely asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Shanshan didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at the female master, then at Fang Chen beside her, and the male master walking towards Fang Chen's bed. The blush on her face slowly faded, replaced by a hint of embarrassment and sudden realization.

It turned out that the masseur who massaged Fang Chen was male.

Looking at her expression, Fang Chen finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He didn't continue teasing Luo Shanshan, but instead said to the masseuse, "I just started working out recently, so I haven't fully adjusted yet. Give me a full-body massage."

Hearing Fang Chen's sneer, Luo Shanshan immediately realized she had been tricked, and glared at him with a mixture of shame and anger.

But at this moment, Fang Chen was already lying on the massage bed, his face buried in the hole, unable to feel her gaze.

She quickly turned her head and whispered to the female instructor, "I have a back muscle spasm."

The technician nodded in understanding and gestured for her to lie down.

With his muscle fatigue relieved after several days, Fang Chen felt so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep.

Silence fell over the private room for a moment.

Fang Chen only woke up after his master reminded him to turn over.

Looking to the side, Luo Shanshan's face no longer showed any pain; instead, she had her eyes closed and looked like she was enjoying herself.

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

"Yes, it feels more comfortable than the massage from the therapists at the store."

Luo Shanshan slowly opened her eyes and met Fang Chen's gaze. A faint blush rose to her cheeks, but this time she was no longer flustered.

"Thank you anyway," she said softly, seemingly a little embarrassed.

After all, if Fang Chen hadn't arrived in time, she probably would have been in so much pain that she couldn't sleep all night.

In her panic, she almost called 120 (emergency services).

Fang Chen lay relaxed on the bed, letting the masseur apply pressure to him, making a slight creaking sound.

"Thank you, I've said it many times."

Luo Shanshan thought for a moment, and realized that she had indeed been saying thank you whenever she was in a slightly better mood: "Well... I'll treat you, I'll pay later."

"I've already paid," Fang Chen said nonchalantly.

"..."

Luo Shanshan was a little unsure how to respond.

"Why don't you treat me to a meal sometime?" Fang Chen suddenly suggested.

Luo Shanshan immediately agreed: "Okay."

The two then chatted casually.

Because there were technicians present, Luo Shanshan felt awkward talking about herself and didn't feel comfortable asking too many questions about Fang Chen's situation.

Fang Chen, however, was enjoying the massage so much that he didn't bother to speak.

Time passed quickly, and Fang Chen was helped out of the massage parlor.

The night breeze was exceptionally refreshing, and the wind on her face helped clear Luo Shanshan's muddled mind, though she was still wearing a thin nightgown.

"I'll take you home." Fang Chen's voice rang out above her, followed by a coat two sizes too big being draped over her shoulders.

Perhaps out of shyness, or perhaps out of embarrassment, they remained silent the entire way.

Soon the two arrived at the apartment building where Luo Shanshan rented.

Fang Chen parked the car and prepared to accompany her upstairs, but after getting out of the car, Luo Shanshan rummaged around on her body for a long time, and her face gradually turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Fang Chen noticed that something was wrong with her and came over.

Luo Shanshan said, slightly flustered, "I didn't bring my keys!"

Fang Chen had his own keys on him, so he completely forgot about them.

When Luo Shanshan was carried out of the house, she was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it, and she was also wearing pajamas and had forgotten to take her keys.

What's your landlord's phone number? Or do you have a spare key with a friend?

Luo Shanshan shook her head: "The landlord has been away for a while, and the spare key... I haven't given it to anyone else."

She doesn't have many friends to begin with, and she certainly wouldn't give such private things to just anyone.

Fang Chen sighed. "Come stay at my place for the night."

"Go to your house?" Luo Shanshan suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open.

Her face turned bright red again, even redder than when she was at the massage parlor, and even the base of her neck turned pink.

"W-Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"So you want to stand here all night?" Fang Chen raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with helplessness. "Or if you have your ID, you can stay outside for the night."

I didn't bring my keys, and my ID card is even less likely to be on me.

"I..." Luo Shanshan was speechless when asked the question. She looked down at her pajamas and then at the dark stairwell, her mind in turmoil.

Going to a single man's house... this is just too ambiguous.

But if I don't go, where else can I go tonight?

If she were wearing casual clothes, there would be plenty of places to spend the night, and she could even stay overnight at a shop.

But with only one set of pajamas on, it was inconvenient for her to move around outside.

Luo Shanshan bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded, her voice barely audible: "Well, okay then, thank you."

She couldn't think of a better way, and didn't know what to say, so she could only keep thanking them.

Fang Chen didn't say anything more, but simply reopened the car door, gesturing for her to get in.

Luo Shanshan reluctantly sat down, feeling extremely uncomfortable the whole way, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at Fang Chen.

An awkward atmosphere continued to spread inside the car.

The two quickly arrived at Fang Chen's residence.

Because a cleaning service had just been hired, the entire house was spotless, not at all like the residence of a single man.

"Make yourself at home." Fang Chen placed the key on the entryway cabinet. "I'll go and prepare a guest room for you."

Although he had always lived alone in a room, Fang Chen at least had an extra set of sheets and blankets to change into, which came in handy now.

Luo Shanshan stood awkwardly in the entryway, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, looking around the house with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness.

She felt that she couldn't stand or sit comfortably.

A moment later, Fang Chen came out after making the bed: "I just ordered disposable bath towels and a toothbrush. The delivery will arrive soon. Go take a hot shower and get a good night's sleep. We can think about the key tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and went to the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of a showerhead spraying water came from the bathroom.

While he was washing up, Luo Shanshan fled into the guest room, closed the door, and leaned against it, her heart still pounding.

She took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

Everything that happened tonight feels like a dream.
