- Chapter 15 - This is a devil, isn't she!
After Qin Yan promised her repeatedly that they wouldn’t be doing any flexibility training today, Xia Mingtang decided to go to West Suburb Park with her.
As soon as the two of them entered the park gates, Xia Mingtang made a beeline for the ecological zone.
There was a steep mountain path from the park entrance to the ecological zone, and Xia Mingtang was already out of breath halfway up. “Is this the way to see the golden snub-nosed monkeys?” she panted.
“Over by the rocky mountain, it’s about another 1,000 meters,” replied Qin Yan, who was carrying a large bag but seemed much more at ease.
Golden snub-nosed monkeys live at higher altitudes, so it took them a while to climb to the top of the rocky mountain.
Because the journey was quite difficult, there were very few tourists here.
A few golden-furred monkeys were leaping between branches and rocks. They simply glanced at the two humans who had appeared, didn’t pay them much mind, and continued playing on their own.
“Wow, that monkey’s fur is so shiny. Can I pet it?” Xia Mingtang took two steps closer and turned to ask the zookeeper beside her.
“If you can get to it, sure,” the zookeeper was very understanding.
The monkeys were incredibly agile, darting from one place to another in the blink of an eye.
Xia Mingtang quietly approached a golden snub-nosed monkey that was dozing. The monkey squinted at her and gave a big yawn.
Xia Mingtang reached out, wanting to touch the monkey’s head. Just as her hand was about to make contact, the monkey made a sudden turn, its long, thin tail swished across her hand, and it disappeared without a trace.
Big Miss Xia, who had never lacked attention since she was a child, was being completely ignored by a group of monkeys, and she felt terribly wronged.
She turned to look at Qin Yan, about to complain about the monkeys’ “crimes,” when a bag was placed in her hand.
“Try this.”
Xia Mingtang opened the plastic bag, which was filled with an unknown variety of nuts.
She shelled one and put it in her mouth, nodding her head. “It tastes pretty good, but the shell is a bit hard.”
Qin Yan: …
Just as Xia Mingtang was about to try another one, the monkeys that had previously ignored her suddenly gathered around her, jumping up and down and chattering.
Xia Mingtang finally realized what was happening. She took out two more nuts and held them in mid-air, using the nuts to command the golden snub-nosed monkeys. “You want to eat, don’t you? Make me happy and I’ll give them to you.”
The monkeys here were indeed quite intelligent. Mimicking Xia Mingtang’s actions, they raised one hand in the air and chattered, imitating her expression and demeanor from just a moment ago with about 60 or 70 percent accuracy.
Xia Mingtang didn’t want to make things too difficult for the monkeys. After teasing them with a few poses, she handed them the two nuts.
To her surprise, the monkey didn’t take the nuts right away. Instead, it offered its own “gift” to Xia Mingtang.
Seeing this, Xia Mingtang was deeply moved. She thought, “Sure enough, you have to trade sincerity for sincerity in this world.”
She reached out with her other hand to accept the gift. Before she could even see what it was, she suddenly felt her hand become empty. The bag of nuts she had been holding was now completely in the golden snub-nosed monkey’s possession.
“You’re robbing me!”
Xia Mingtang looked up in shock. The golden snub-nosed monkey, which had just been playing along with her, was now several leaps away. Only after climbing the steep rocky slope did it call its companions to share the spoils of war.
The monkeys here were very nimble, and their technique for shelling nuts was even more efficient than Xia Mingtang’s had been.
The one that had played the imitation game with Xia Mingtang earlier munched on a nut and then made a face at her.
Xia Mingtang: …
What’s going on? She felt like a monkey had just mocked her.
Because of this incident, Xia Mingtang felt that her feelings had been deceived by the golden snub-nosed monkeys and she no longer wanted to stay there. Qin Yan then suggested they go for a walk by the nearby lake.
The park’s location was chosen cleverly, encompassing a large natural lake.
A TV show once filmed a scene here where the protagonist fought on a series of plum blossom stakes in the lake. Since then, it had also become a popular filming location, and the high and low stakes in the lake had been well-preserved.
Qin Yan led Xia Mingtang to the lakeside, walking and introducing the surrounding scenery. She looked at the plum blossom stakes in the lake and changed the topic.
“Xiao Hua, look at those plum blossom stakes. They’re perfect for training. Why don’t you go stand on them for a bit?” Although she used a questioning tone, it was a statement.
Xia Mingtang looked at the wooden stakes sticking out of the lake, which were no wider than her palm. She didn’t think there was enough space for both of her feet. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. “Are we allowed to just step on those?”
“Yes, we can. I already cleared it with the park management,” Qin Yan replied calmly.
Hmph, so Qin boss has connections here too. But that’s not the main point. The main point is…
“Sister, didn’t you say I wouldn’t have to do flexibility training today?”
“We’re definitely not doing flexibility training today. Today, we’re practicing balance,” Qin Yan said with a gentle smile, patting Xia Mingtang on the head.
Xia Mingtang: …
I was so careless.
Seeing the undeniable look on Qin Yan’s face, Xia Mingtang’s brows furrowed. She clutched her stomach with both hands and wailed.
“Oh no, oh no, what’s happening? My stomach suddenly hurts so much!”
Xia Mingtang’s stomach wasn’t actually hurting right now, but her head was. She must have been insane to believe Qin Yan’s “no training today” lie.
Thinking about it now, she was full of regret, deep regret! For a moment, she even managed to produce a few genuine groans of pain.
Seeing her pitiful expression, Qin Yan came forward and supported her swaying, slender body, sounding very concerned. “What’s wrong? Did you eat something bad?”
Xia Mingtang remembered the various medicine packets she had glimpsed in Qin Yan’s bag that morning, and her mind worked quickly. “It shouldn’t be from bad food. We probably walked too fast, and now my stomach is cramping.”
“Oh, cramps,” Qin Yan nodded thoughtfully. Just as Xia Mingtang thought she was about to be let off the hook, she heard Qin Yan say,
“Then let me rub it for you. I used to exercise a lot and I know some muscle-stretching techniques.”
Xia Mingtang: Huh? No…
Before she could think of a response, Qin Yan’s hand, warm as jade, was already on her lower abdomen, finding the spot she had just been covering.
“Does it hurt here?”
Through the thin layer of clothing, Qin Yan’s palm carried a slight warmth. It was a completely innocent touch, but Xia Mingtang felt a jolt of electricity run through her abdomen.
She looked at Qin Yan’s gentle face, which was so close, and her nose was filled with a subtle, alluring scent. Caught in a difficult situation, she could only give a few muffled responses: “Mmm… mmm.”
Using her palm as a focal point, Qin Yan rubbed her lower abdomen in a circular motion, and a wave of warmth quickly spread through the area.
“Feeling any better?”
Xia Mingtang’s face was now as red as a steamed shrimp, and it felt as though her legs were no longer her own.
Her grandmother had rubbed her stomach like this before, but she had never felt this way. It was so strange.
She couldn’t let Qin Yan continue to rub her like this. She took two steps back, putting some distance between them, and bobbed her head like a pecking chick. “I’m all better now, all better!”
“Since you’re okay now, then…” Qin Yan pointed to the plum blossom stakes in the distance.
“I’ll go stand on them now!” Despite the immense reluctance in Xia Mingtang’s heart, she chose the lesser of two evils. With a face like a heroic martyr, she dashed towards the lake.
“Wait.”
As soon as Xia Mingtang turned around, she heard Qin Yan speak up. She turned back joyfully. “Sister, did you change your mind?”
“You should use this resistance band to stretch your muscles first, or your legs will get sore from standing for too long,” Qin Yan said, pulling a resistance band from her bag and handing it to her.
Xia Mingtang: …
This is a devil, isn’t she!
