This Is the Correct Way to Open It

"Alright." Su Yang agreed and walked over to sit on the bed.

The qipao-clad beauty nodded with a smile, turned around, closed the door, and left.

Su Yang craned his neck, taking in the layout of the room.

Aside from a relatively large massage bed, there was also a small sofa in front, next to which stood a multi-functional tea machine and a wooden cabinet.

On top of the cabinet were some simple items, and above it hung an LCD TV, currently playing the spa's promotional video at a low volume.

The entire private room was dimly lit and elegantly decorated, with the faint scent of incense and soft purple lighting creating an intimate atmosphere.

After waiting two or three minutes, Su Yang heard the faint sound of high heels approaching from outside the room.

The footsteps grew louder until they stopped right outside the door.

Knock knock knock~

A pleasant knocking sound came from the other side.

Su Yang glanced toward the entrance and said calmly, "Come in."

With a soft click, the door opened, revealing a beautiful woman dressed in a black vintage-style short skirt and black stockings, carrying a wooden box.

She appeared to be in her early twenties, with an oval face and delicate, refined features. Her looks were at least two or three tiers above the technicians he had seen earlier in Pan Ning's private room—even more attractive than the most expensive "Imperial Dragon Technique" spa's staff.

Her figure was also exceptional—narrow shoulders, a slender waist, and wide hips—making her a truly pleasing sight.

Su Yang was momentarily stunned and thought, 'This level of quality? So this is where the premium price comes from?'

—System, quick scan.

[Zhao Xiaolan, Age: 22]

[Height: 164cm]

[Weight: 52kg]

[Appearance: 82]

[Figure: 85]

[Relationships: 1, Single]

[Experience: 1]

[Traits: Outgoing, Appearance-Oriented, Skilled Techniques]

Looking at this information, Su Yang quickly deduced that this place was indeed legitimate—otherwise, the "experience" count wouldn't be just one.

While he was reviewing the details, Zhao Xiaolan was also sizing him up.

She paused briefly, then stepped into the room with a hint of shyness on her face.

With a bright smile, she approached and said, "Hello, sir. I'm Xiaolan, your technician for today."

Su Yang swiftly dismissed the virtual screen in front of him and smiled faintly. "Xiaolan, right? Nice to meet you."

Zhao Xiaolan studied Su Yang again and asked with a smile, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Su Yang."

"Alright~ Then I'll call you Mr. Su." Zhao Xiaolan chuckled softly and placed the wooden box on the nearby cabinet.

She then prepared a cup of warm floral tea and handed it to Su Yang. "Mr. Su, please wait just a moment while I get things ready."

"Sure." Su Yang accepted the tea and took a small sip.

Zhao Xiaolan turned around and opened the wooden box on the cabinet.

"What's inside that box?" Su Yang leaned over curiously.

"Just some things we'll need later. Mr. Su, you can take off your shoes and lie down on the bed to relax first."

"Got it." Su Yang complied and lay down to wait.

A short while later, Zhao Xiaolan retrieved several small bottles that Su Yang couldn't identify. She then sat at the foot of the massage bed and began arranging them.

"Are we starting with the feet?"

"Yes, this is a full-body massage package."

Su Yang nodded. "Alright."

Once Zhao Xiaolan finished organizing the bottles, she pressed a small switch at the foot of the bed. The lower section of the massage bed slowly split open, revealing a built-in foot-soaking tub.

"Oh, it's electric?" Su Yang sat up slightly to take a better look.

"That's right."

A few minutes later, Zhao Xiaolan activated another switch on the bed, and a faucet extended slowly from within. She turned it on, filling the tub with hot water.

Su Yang blinked in surprise. "Damn, they do it like this now?"

Zhao Xiaolan giggled softly. "Yes, everything's much more convenient these days."

"Nice. The last place I went to had to haul in a big wooden tub and pour water manually. This is way better."

As they chatted, the tub quickly filled with hot water. Zhao Xiaolan then opened a few of the bottles and poured their contents into the water, mixing them in.

Su Yang didn't bother asking further and simply waited.

A minute later, Zhao Xiaolan looked up at him with a smile. "Mr. Su, it's ready. You can put your feet in now."

"Okay."

Su Yang scooted forward and dipped his feet into the wooden tub.

"How's the temperature?"

"Perfect."

"Great~" Zhao Xiaolan adjusted the backrest of the massage bed so Su Yang could recline comfortably.

After cleaning her hands, she sat by the tub, submerged her hands in the water, and began kneading Su Yang's feet with practiced movements.

"Mmm~ Feels good."

[Ding. Detected that the host is currently enjoying a professional massage. Reward: 1 million.]

Su Yang smiled faintly, closed his eyes, and leaned back to fully enjoy the experience.

"Mr. Su, is the pressure okay?"

"Just right. Do as you see fit."

"Alright~"

While massaging his feet, Zhao Xiaolan occasionally stole glances at Su Yang's face, lost in thought.

Gradually, she rolled up the hem of Su Yang's pants and began working on his calves and ankles.

Su Yang reclined with a relaxed smile. He opened his eyes and glanced down at Zhao Xiaolan, who was bent over, and activated his "auto-aim" mode.

"Xiaolan, how long have you been doing this?"

She looked up with a smile. "Just six months."

"Only six months? Your technique is really impressive."

"Hehe, thank you, Mr. Su. I'm not good at much else, so this is what I do."

"Nothing wrong with that. As long as you're earning an honest living, right?"

"That's true. Are you visiting Qingxi from somewhere else?"

Su Yang nodded. "Yeah, from Haicheng."

"Oh, Haicheng is great—a big city."

They continued chatting casually.

Soon, the foot massage concluded. Zhao Xiaolan stood up, reset the split section of the bed, and lowered the backrest flat.

After a couple more adjustments, she removed her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and knelt behind Su Yang's head.

Su Yang blinked in surprise. "What's next?"

"Just rest your head on my lap. I'll start with a head massage."

Su Yang thought, 'Huh? Usually, they'd put a pillow there. No wonder it's pricey—attention to detail.'

"Oh, got it." He chuckled and repositioned himself, resting his head on Zhao Xiaolan's black-stockinged thighs.

'Mmm, nice headrest. This is the way it should be.'

[Ding. Detected that the host is thoroughly enjoying himself. Reward: 800,000.]

Once Su Yang was settled, Zhao Xiaolan picked up three small bottles, poured out what appeared to be essential oils into her palms, and rubbed them together briskly.

After warming her hands, she gently pressed them over Su Yang's closed eyes.

A soothing warmth, carrying a unique fragrance, seeped from his eyelids down to the bridge of his nose.

"Mmm, that's nice."

Zhao Xiaolan smiled softly and began gently kneading his eyebrows.

Her fingers moved swiftly from his eyebrows to his temples, pressing and kneading gently.

Su Yang's entire body tingled from the massage.

He had been to spas before, but the technicians there had always been rather perfunctory.

They would start from the head too, but never with such meticulous care—just a quick, haphazard rub over the scalp before moving on to the arms, stomach, legs, and back, rushing through the routine so fast it felt like nothing had been done at all.

But this place was different. The massage was thorough, the technician’s skill and the service quality were both excellent, and it genuinely helped him relax.

Zhao Xiaolan spent a full twenty minutes on his head alone, nearly lulling Su Yang to sleep.

"Mr. Su? Are you asleep?" Zhao Xiaolan asked softly, leaning closer.

"Hmm?" Su Yang blinked, snapping awake. "What’s up?"

"Nothing, just checking. You seemed like you were dozing off."

"Oh, yeah. Your technique is so good, I almost drifted off."

"Thank you~" Zhao Xiaolan smiled sweetly, cradling the back of his head as she lifted it slightly.

"Now, let’s move to the body."

"Sure~" Su Yang sat up, letting her adjust to his side before lying back down.

Zhao Xiaolan picked up three small bottles and poured a special oil into her palms, warming it between her hands.

Su Yang glanced at it curiously. "What’s that stuff you’re using?"

"It’s our signature hormone-infused oil."

"Hormone oil? Ah, so that’s why this is called the 'Hormone Nourishment Spa'—it’s all about this oil, huh?"

"Mm-hmm, exactly~" She nodded with a playful grin.

"Does that mean all the other treatments are pretty much the same?"

"There are some differences. Some start with a soak, others use unique techniques, and a few focus only on specific areas."

"Oh? Like what?" Su Yang teased, eyes twinkling.

"For example, the 'Charming Flexibility' session only targets the waist and hips—nothing else."

Su Yang nodded slowly. "Mine’s better then. Full-body coverage."

"Yep, which is why it’s pricier and takes longer too."

"Got it. Carry on."
