What Do You Think of Me Don't Go Into Too Much Detail

The sensation of Ce Chengfeng brushing past his fingertips carried a unique ripple of emotion.

What surprised Lin Yu the most was the sudden trigger of the Dao Body’s awakening.

Having experienced it before,

Lin Yu knew exactly what it meant when it softened in an instant.

Previously, it had only been activated during foot-soaking sessions.

Now, just a slight graze of his knuckles—how could it happen so quickly?

It seemed

his understanding of Auntie Qimeng was still far from complete.

The switches to stimulate the Dao Body were clearly not limited to just one.

“Yes, just leave it in this position. Let me help adjust your arm.”

Chen Qimeng buried her face deeper into the pillow: “…”

Compared to the changes in her body,

what startled her even more were the shifts in her heart!

Shouldn’t she, as Lin Yu’s aunt, have refused such an embarrassing favor immediately?

But why?

After Lin Yu took her arm and gently lowered it from the safety of the blanket…

she found herself unconsciously devoid of resistance?

In fact,

she was even secretly anticipating… more.

If anything, she could only blame herself for losing control of her emotions that day at the mall.

She had revealed—so easily—a woman’s longing for affection in front of Lin Yu.

Now, no matter how hard she tried to avoid it or deceive herself,

the relationship between her and Lin Yu could never return to what it once was.

Where it would go from here was perhaps already teetering on the edge of losing control.

Only one thing was certain.

Chen Qimeng could no longer escape it, nor could she deny it.

In all her decades of life,

no man had ever made her feel like this.

“Mmm!”

A gasp escaped her lips before she could stop it.

Chen Qimeng instinctively clenched her teeth, not daring to let out another sound.

[Ding!]

[Masterful move! The intimate teasing between Dao companions is utterly heart-stopping!]

[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]

Hearing the system’s prompt,

Lin Yu understood—Auntie Qimeng had already succumbed to the moment.

“What’s wrong, Qimeng?”

“Is the cupping on your back too painful?”

“If it’s still unbearable, should we… stop for now?”

Chen Qimeng remained silent: “…”

Lin Yu: “Qimeng, can you hear me?”

Chen Qimeng’s voice trembled: “I… I hear you. It doesn’t hurt as much now. Let’s… keep going.”

Lin Yu: “See? I told you you’d get used to it. Understood!”

Her words were the best response he could have hoped for.

He swiftly returned to the toolkit,

his hands moving with astonishing speed.

If not for the fact that this was Auntie Qimeng’s first time cupping,

he could have covered her entire back in twenty seconds.

Even so,

Lin Yu kept it to about a minute—just enough to complete the necessary [Fire Sigil Totem Technique].

As for the remaining time and steps…

well, they weren’t strictly necessary anymore.

“Qimeng, should I place two cups on either side of your tailbone?”

“With your current position, adjusting the towel might be difficult.”

“If you trust me… may I help you?”

Chen Qimeng: “!!!”

She could clearly feel

Lin Yu’s fingers hovering at the edge of the towel, waiting in restless anticipation.

If she refused now, she could still hold the final line.

But if she gave in… there was no telling what might happen.

She could no longer see Lin Yu as just “her sister’s boy.”

Lin Yu was patient.

He didn’t rush her, nor did he push boundaries with testing touches.

Just like at the mall,

the choice to cross the line had to be Auntie Qimeng’s alone.

Otherwise,

even if Lin Yu forced the situation,

every day afterward, Auntie Qimeng would likely drown in regret.

A choice made under pressure was nothing like one made willingly.

“Lin Yu, I…”

“This might sound silly, and you’ll probably think it’s ridiculous.”

“But I have to ask. If I don’t, I’ll keep wondering—”

Lin Yu cut in gently:

“Auntie Qimeng, ask me anything.”

“I promise—at least for tonight—every answer I give will be completely honest.”

Chen Qimeng tilted her face slightly, took a deep breath,

as if steeling herself for a life-altering decision.

Then,

she asked:

“Ever since our trip to the mall, I’ve noticed how you’ve changed.”

“At your age, it’s easy to confuse ‘dependence’ with ‘love.’”

“Especially since our relationship started with us… leaning on each other for survival.”

“I understand if, growing up, you’d develop unusual feelings for… an older aunt or sister.”

“Lin Yu, I want to know—how do you see me?”

“As an aunt? A family member? Or something else… or maybe all of them?”

Truth time.

Auntie Qimeng had weathered more storms than the girls and women in the apartment.

Having endured life alone until now, it was only natural she’d fear letting someone new in.

The current situation didn’t come as a surprise to Lin Yu.

Taking the next step forward was an inevitable path for the two of them.

Following his heart, Lin Yu spoke candidly:

"Qimeng, do you know why I never call you ‘aunt’ when we’re together?"

"Because I don’t want the barrier of titles to stand between us all the time."

"We’re not actually related by blood, right?"

"You took me in when I had no one to rely on, even though I was nothing but a burden."

"I’ve always been grateful and wanted to repay you in every way possible."

"But I know exactly what else I feel for you…"

"It’s forgetting myself, not asking for a result, not asking you to walk this path with me;"

"It’s being able to sit in silence without feeling awkward;"

"It’s eating alone but never as happily as when we’re together;"

"Qimeng, even if you can’t accept it, please don’t push me away…"

"Let me keep loving you!"

After these words,

a handsome young face appeared before Chen Qimeng.

Lin Yu knelt down, his gaze pure and unwavering as he looked up at her.

Could it be?

Could a woman her age still deserve a beautiful love?

[Ding!]

[Masterful move! Such sincere, heartfelt words have showered your partner like sweet rain!]

[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]

"But it’s not just emotional. I don’t think love is real if it’s only platonic between a man and a woman."

"Every time I see you, I feel… urges. The kind between a man and a woman."

"Whether it was at the mall earlier, or when you were showering, or even now during your cupping session—I’ve wanted to…"

Chen Qimeng flusteredly cut him off: "Lin Yu! D-don’t go into details…"
