An hour later, Zheng Mengni held Gao Lei's arm, tending to his wounds.
She asked softly, "Do you need help with your hip?"
Gao Lei was taken aback, feeling a rush of embarrassment as the pain in his backside flared up. "I can manage myself," he replied quickly.
Zheng Mengni said nothing, lowering her head to reveal her delicate, fair neck, exuding an elegance that was hard to ignore. She focused on applying the ointment to Gao Lei's injuries, the coolness of it providing a soothing relief.
In her quiet moments, Zheng Mengni resembled a graceful white pear blossom, her gentle and refined demeanor possessing an indescribable beauty. It was she who caused him pain, yet it was also she who patiently healed him.
Suddenly, Gao Lei said, "Thank you."
Zheng Mengni paused in surprise before breaking into a smile. "You’re quite amusing. I hurt you, and yet you still say thank you."
Gao Lei's face flushed. "But you gave me such good ointment; I don’t feel pain anymore."
"Really? You don’t feel any pain?"
"Yeah, it doesn’t hurt."
Zheng Mengni pinched his neck gently but without strength, as if merely caressing the red marks on his skin. "That’s good." After a moment of contemplation, she added, "I’m quite satisfied with you. Keep using this ointment, and hopefully by the next time we meet, you’ll perform even better."
Gao Lei looked at her with hopeful eyes. "You’ll come again?"
In other words, would she be willing to let him do this for her again?
Without hesitation, Gao Lei replied, "I—I can."
Though it hurt, if it meant seeing her again, what could he not endure?
Zheng Mengni said, "Then it’s settled. I hope during this time you can be someone who values cleanliness. I don’t like sharing with others; please understand."
Just as Gao Lei was about to speak, Zheng Mengni placed her finger against his thin lips.
"You don’t need to worry about money. Whether I come or not, you will receive your payment daily at tonight’s rate."
Gao Lei's heart trembled. Compared to serving different clients every day, he preferred the idea of only serving Zheng Mengni.
He spoke in a hushed tone, "Am I just a toy you bought?"
Zheng Mengni's smile was pure and beautiful. "I never thought of you as a toy. In my eyes, you are a good friend who helps me relieve my worries. Thank you for what you've done for me. That little bit of money is just my way of showing my appreciation."
Gao Lei's breath became uneven, his eyes reddening first, followed by the tips of his ears, and then his cheeks and even his cheekbones.
Zheng Mengni added, "About tonight, I hope you can keep it to yourself."
Gao Lei replied with unwavering determination, "I will."
She tested him further, "What if someone asks what you did tonight?"
Gao Lei said, "I danced for you. And you only had some drinks."
Zheng Mengni smiled with satisfaction, "Very good."
Every two weeks, Zheng Mengni would seek out Gao Lei alone; it was the best way she had found to vent her feelings so far. If she held it in and acted, she would eventually break down.
One time, she brought her school assignments along and asked Gao Lei to try writing them. If he got them right, he would be punished; if he got them wrong, there would be a reward.
Zheng Mengni perhaps didn’t realize that for Gao Lei, whether he was being hit or kissing her toes, both were immense blessings in his eyes.
Gao Lei understood that only by being the kind of fool that Zheng Mengni deemed acceptable would he make her happy.
With just a week left until the final exams and having reviewed enough material, Zheng Mengni decided to visit Gao Lei one last time before the tests. She contacted the manager in advance to book a private room, and Gao Lei waited for her inside, freshly cleaned.
Just as Zheng Mengni was about to enter, she caught sight of a familiar figure walking down the hallway. The light was dim, and at first, she wasn't sure.
But when the person turned and stepped into a luxurious private room, Zheng Mengni clearly saw his profile.
"Ye Bingran is also here to find some fun?"
Perhaps she could give him a small gift; after all, playing with toys alone was rather dull.
