The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 129 Trapezius Muscle

Ling Yi wasn't as resistant as before, but he still felt inexplicably unwilling. Originally, he wanted to wait until things settled down, but it was clear that Qi Min wouldn't wait for him.

"Okay, lie down first, let me loosen it up for you."

Qi Min stroked Ling Yi's half-dry hair, finding it to be of excellent quality. He then patted Ling Yi's shoulder, gesturing for him to lie down on the bed.

"now?"

Ling Yi looked up in surprise at Qi Min's blunt words. This was different from what he had seen when he was forced to teach before. It was too direct.

"Yes, the sooner you finish, the sooner you can get some rest."

Qi Min glanced at the hesitant and surprised expression on Ling Yi's face, spoke with slight confusion, and then turned to put the towel away.

Hearing Qi Min's very natural answer, Ling Yi hesitated for a few seconds, then seemed to have made up his mind.

Following Qi Min's instructions, I dimmed the lights and lay down in bed, trying to relax as much as possible.

After putting the towel away, Qi Min came out and looked at the dimmed lights in the room with a puzzled expression. Then, when he turned his gaze to Ling Yi lying straight on the bed, he slowly realized that he hadn't made himself clear.

He originally thought that Ling Yi had been working overtime too much these past few days, so he bought some essential oil products online, wanting to give him a massage to relax.

Recalling the expression on her face when she talked to Ling Yi just now, she couldn't help but smile with a hint of amusement, while her eyes showed a slight helplessness.

He could sense Ling Yi's closeness to him; she wasn't as resistant and hostile as before.

Although he didn't intend to do anything today, Ling Yi's reaction was telling him that he still hadn't fully accepted himself.

Qi Min had never tried such a thing before; he was simply more fond of being close to Ling Yi. If Ling Yi was unwilling, he was willing to wait but would not force her.

But seeing Ling Yi's nervous yet obedient demeanor, she still felt a little stifled, watching him still waiting for her to come over.

Qi Min sighed softly, ignoring his discomfort, and approached with a helpless smile.

First, she tore off Ling Yi's shirt, then deliberately made him lie down without explaining, relaxing herself and watching him obediently follow her instructions.

Qi Min simply placed a light kiss on his slightly tense back, then stood up, opened the essential oil placed to the side, poured it into his palm, and warmed it with his palm.

Hearing Qi Min open the bottle behind him, Ling Yi's already tense muscles tensed even more.

I involuntarily closed my eyes, waiting for the pain described in the book to arrive.

"Ok?"

Ling Yi felt Qi Min's hand on his shoulder, opened his eyes in surprise, and tried to turn around but was stopped.

"Don't move around, lie still and close your eyes to rest."

Qi Min used the essential oil on his fingers to knead and press on Ling Yi's tense shoulders. His movements were not very skilled, but they were still quite professional.

"A powerful ruler?"

Ling Yi was surprised to feel the soreness in his shoulder, and was somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm, what's wrong? Does it hurt here?"

Following the massage technique from memory, Qi Min gently pressed on Ling Yi's trapezius muscles on his shoulders, feeling the stiffness there. He slightly increased the pressure with his fingertips and softly asked Ling Yi, who wanted to turn around.

"There's one thing... what exactly is the powerful ruler doing?"

Ling Yi felt a bit uncomfortable, experiencing a soreness in his shoulder. He was very confused about Qi Min's actions and didn't quite understand what he was doing.

He originally thought that the essential oil was... used there.

He didn't understand why Qi Min would use his hand on his shoulder and keep pressing it down; it didn't seem like a caress.

"You look so tired. Let me relax your shoulder muscles a bit. Don't be so tense. I won't do anything. Don't be so nervous."

Qi Min explained his actions and then directly addressed Ling Yi's concerns.

Hearing his words, Ling Yi, who had initially thought he had misunderstood, was now somewhat surprised.

"Why would the lord say that..."

Qi Min's fingers didn't stop, and without answering, he freed one hand to pick up the essential oil next to him again. This time, instead of squeezing it into his palm, he squeezed it directly onto Ling Yi's shoulder and back.

(Just a note: This is a very simple shoulder massage for relaxation. Please don't misunderstand!)

"Well!"

The sudden coolness on his shoulders and back caught Ling Yi off guard, causing him to let out a muffled groan. It also made Qi Min pause slightly as he pressed on Ling Yi's shoulders.

Qi Min suddenly felt that his decision to give Ling Yi a massage today was a bit too hasty, as he hadn't prepared headphones or anything.

Ling Yi's soft hum made Qi Min, who was focused on relaxing his shoulders, recall the "Sutra of Tranquility and Desire" from the real world.

"Cough, is it too cold...?"

Qi Min cleared his throat and asked softly. Seeing that Ling Yi nodded, he squeezed the little essential oil he had just squeezed out back into his palm, rubbed it between his hands to warm it up, and then placed it back on Ling Yi's shoulder, continuing to knead and press.

I know you misunderstood before, but I don't want to explain anything now.

Because although I didn't have the thoughts you misunderstood before, I do have some now, so..."

Qi Min slowly approached, feeling the shoulder beneath his palm tighten slightly again, and whispered in Ling Yi's ear.

"So, try to control yourself a little and don't make any noise, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and might have to find another way to help you relax."

Of course, you can continue making sounds if you want; you should understand what I mean...

Qi Min's voice was slightly hoarse, and while it sounded like a threat, it also carried a hint of encouragement.

"Understand……"

Ling Yi pretended not to understand the other meaning in Qi Min's words. After answering, she lay on the pillow, enduring the soreness in her shoulders, trying her best not to make any sounds that would cause Qi Min to misunderstand.

'Look at how patient he is, sigh...'

Looking at the obedient and docile Ling Yi, Qi Min felt even more itchy, and felt both amused and annoyed.

This is because they're afraid he'll do something. Oh well, let's take it slow. It's best to let things take their natural course; forcing things is pointless.

But after less than half an hour, Qi Min unilaterally stopped the massage and relaxation session.

It was mainly because it was too torturous for him; Ling Yi was trying his best to control himself from making any noise.

But his occasional muffled groans, seemingly meant to be suppressed, made it impossible for Qi Min to calm down. If he continued to suppress it like this, not even the Tao Te Ching would be of any use!

Helpless, Qi Min had no choice but to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart and the reactions he couldn't control no matter how hard he tried.

She quickly wiped the essential oil off Ling Yi's back, then told him to rest while she went out to wash off the essential oil from her hands.

(These are just simple essential oils, don't get me wrong!)
