Should We Turn Off the Lights

"Okay, just a moment." The staff member opened the tablet in their hand, operated it briefly, and then handed it to Meng Wenzhou.

"Here you go, sir. This screen shows all the available technicians right now."

"Okay, thanks. We'll take a look for a moment. You can sit down if you like, no need to stand."

"That's alright." The staff member smiled slightly and continued waiting nearby.

At that moment, Liu Bo leaned close to Meng Wenzhou and asked, "What does this mean, Brother Meng?"

"We get to choose our own technicians."

"Oh? Even free massages let you pick?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either."

Su Yang also moved closer to Meng Wenzhou and looked down. "Then let's pick first."

"Alright, I'll go first." Meng Wenzhou slid his finger across the tablet, slowly browsing through the photos of the technicians.

"Ooh, this one's good! I'll take this one." Before Meng Wenzhou could finish his selection, Liu Bo immediately pointed at a picture in the middle of the screen.

Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou followed Liu Bo's finger to the photo. All the technicians wore uniforms and had standard headshots.

The one Liu Bo pointed at had short hair and a cute type of appearance. In the photo, she looked pretty decent—above average.

"You sure about this one?" Meng Wenzhou asked.

"Definitely. Out of all the ones you scrolled through just now, she's the most my type."

"Alright." Meng Wenzhou looked up at the young woman standing beside them and smiled. "Our chubby friend here picks Technician No. 18."

"Very well, sir. Just tap on Technician No. 18's photo and then click confirm."

"OK." Meng Wenzhou followed the woman's instructions and finished in two seconds.

"Your turn, Old Su."

"Keep scrolling." Su Yang stood close to Meng Wenzhou and said.

"OK." Meng Wenzhou agreed and continued swiping the screen. He scrolled all the way to the bottom, but neither of them chose anyone.

Liu Bo was stunned beside them. "Come on, you two, you're way too picky! I saw plenty of good ones below."

"You don't get it. Look at all of them first, then pick."

Meng Wenzhou chuckled, swiped back up the screen, and finally selected Technician No. 27.

Su Yang chose Technician No. 33. From the moment Meng Wenzhou started scrolling, Su Yang had the system scan the appearance and figure of all the technicians.

With an advantage like his, he had to use it wisely.

After scanning them all, No. 33 scored the highest—looks 83, figure 87.

Moreover, No. 33 appeared petite and charming, with a small face and nice facial features overall.

Liu Bo's pick, No. 18, had looks 74 and figure 80. Meng Wenzhou's choice scored looks 80 and figure 83.

After all three confirmed their selections, the staff member retrieved the tablet and smiled. "Gentlemen, would you like separate sessions or to be together in one room?"

"Separate sessions." Meng Wenzhou replied without hesitation.

"Very well. Please follow me."

The three stood up and followed the staff member toward the massage area. After passing through several corridors, they entered another hallway lined with doors on both sides.

"Here, gentlemen, these are all single rooms. Feel free to pick any room—they're all the same. Inside, under the table, you'll find disposable massage attire in three sizes. It'll be more comfortable to change into them."

"Okay, thanks." The three each randomly chose a room and entered.

The staff member noted their room numbers, then closed the door and left.

Each single room had the same layout—about ten square meters large. There were no massage beds inside; instead, there was an island-style tatami floor that served as the massage surface, though it was a bit hard.

Besides the tatami floor, there was a wall-mounted display screen and a table with decorative items.

The lighting in each room was dim, and a faint scent of jasmine lingered in the air.

Su Yang walked over to the table, bent down, and pulled out three sealed bags containing disposable massage clothes. He inspected them.

—System, are there any cameras here?

【none】

—Good.

After confirming, Su Yang took off his clothes and changed into a set of disposable massage clothes that fit his size.

Although they were disposable, the quality wasn't bad—comfortable and well-fitted.

‘A room costing 15,000 a night really offers great value—free hot springs and free massages too. Not bad at all.’ Su Yang put on his slippers and sat down on the tatami floor.

A few minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door—dada dada—but it didn’t sound like high heels.

"Not heels—deducting two points."

Just as he muttered, a knock came at the door. "Excuse me, sir, may I come in?" The technician at the door asked in Japanese.

"Come in." Su Yang called out, leaning against the headrest.

With a click, the door opened, and Technician No. 33 walked in. She wasn't wearing a kimono but a cream-yellow uniform with a matching pencil skirt.

Her long legs were quite eye-catching.

‘Wow? This figure... not bad at all!’

"Konnichiwa, sir. I’m Technician No. 33, Nishino Yuki, here to serve you tonight." After seeing Su Yang, Nishino briefly showed a hint of surprise before quickly stepping in front of him and bowing as she spoke.

"Hello, no need to be so formal."

"Very well, sir." Nishino Yuki said, looking up with a faint smile. Then she took off her shoes, stepped onto the tatami, and sat down facing Su Yang in a kneeling position.

She carried a wooden box, which she opened to take out several bottles and jars.

"Please lie down, sir."

"Right, we start now?"

"Yes, I’ll begin serving you now."

"OK."

Su Yang agreed and lay down flat. Nishino moved to a kneeling position beside his head, picked up a bottle of essential oil, and rubbed a small amount onto her hands to warm them up. Then she began massaging his head.

"Is the pressure okay, sir?" Nishino asked in an exceptionally gentle voice.

"Perfect." Su Yang closed his eyes and smiled.

"Where are you from, sir?"

"China."

"China? I thought you might be from Japan."

"Nope, I'm here on holiday."

"Your Japanese is really good, sir. How should I address you?"

"My surname is Su—Su Yang."

"Alright, Su-san~"

Nishino replied and fell silent for a while, continuing the massage. After kneading his head for a few minutes, she spoke again. "Would you like the lights turned off, sir?"

Hearing this, Su Yang opened his eyes in surprise. "Turn off the lights?"

"Yes, some guests mentioned that having the lights off helps them relax more during the massage."

"Is that so?"

"Would you like to try it?"

"Alright, go ahead and turn them off."

"Very well." Nishino leaned slightly to the side and pressed a switch on the wall.

With a click, the room instantly became pitch black.

Su Yang swallowed quietly.

—System, show full details.

【Looks: 83】

—Nothing notable?

Just as he was thinking, Nishino shifted closer to Suyang and began to massage his chest. "Su-san, is it better with the lights off?"

"Not bad. It would be even better with a little light, though. Pitch black, can't see a thing," Suyang said casually.

"How about this?" Nishino moved her right hand from his chest to a different position and spoke softly.

Completely caught off guard, Suyang's whole body jolted. "What the hell?"
