Chapter 177: Spa session

The woman nodded, looking relieved. "Thank you so much, Du Pengxia. I’ll definitely try that."

"Remember to take walks as much as you can ladies. It helps.."

"Aye!!"

Tang Xue Mei yawned as she handed the yoga mat to Song Dae-Ju, after the session her body actually felt lighter.

"Where to next?"

"I believe you have a spa session next.."

Tang Xue Mei nodded and got inside the car, she had changed from her yoga clothes to a light pink checkered dress with black flats.

"Let’s stop by the mall later I just realized we haven’t bought any baby clothes.."

As she walked into the spa, she was greeted by the soothing sounds of gentle music and the calming aroma of essential oils.

"This place is the definition of peace and tranquility. I should come here with Mingyue next time."

She was led to a cozy room with a plush massage table, where her therapist, a gentle-voiced woman named Wanwan, was waiting for her.

"Welcome, miss Tang," Wanwan said, smiling warmly. "I’ll be taking care of you today. Please make yourself comfortable and let me know if you have any areas of tension or discomfort."

Tang Xue Mei lay down on the table, feeling the softness of the pillow beneath her head. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as Wanwan began to work her magic.

The massage was blissful, with Wanwan’s skilled hands expertly kneading out knots and tension in Tang Xue Mei’s muscles. As she worked, Wanwan chatted gently with Tang Xue Mei, asking about her pregnancy and offering words of encouragement.

"22 weeks?! It’s so big I thought you were about to go into labor any moment from now.."

Tang Xue Mei chuckled, her stomach always give that impression, she was glad her babies had room to move around.

As the session progressed, Tang Xue Mei felt her body and mind relaxing further and further, letting go of all her worries and concerns. She felt like she was melting into the table, her muscles soft and limp.

After the massage, Ling led Tang Xue Mei to a quiet room where a warm bath was waiting for her. The water was scented with rose petals and chamomile, and Tang Xue Mei sank into it with a sigh of relief.

She lay there for a while, soaking up the tranquility of the moment, feeling her babies moving gently inside her. She closed her eyes, letting the warmth of the water seep into her bones, and drifted off into a peaceful reverie.

"When had she ever been this peaceful? She always felt her mind was always on the run with no time to sit or rest.."

As she laid there, Tang Xue Mei realized that she had been neglecting her own self-care lately. With the demands of work and pregnancy, she had been putting everyone else’s needs before her own.

But today, she was taking a much-needed break, and it felt amazing.

She closed her eyes and soon she was already fast asleep when Wanwan.

Wanwan gently woke Tang Xue Mei up.

"You must be tired but I can’t let you stay in the water for too long. You’ll catch a cold.."

Wanwan said gently helping her out of the bath and leading her to a cozy lounge area where a refreshing ginger tea was waiting for her.

"We have a bed here, you can take your time and sleep comfortably if you want.."

Tang Xue Mei nodded as she laid down on the bed, it wouldn’t be too bad if she got a one hour nap.

"Can you wake me up when it’s past 1 hour, I still have to go shopping.."

Wanwan nodded and walked to the drawer, bringing out a cute pink colored alarm clock.

"I’ll set an alarm right now.."

"Thank you.."

Tang Xue Mei feel asleep the moment her head touched the pillows, after taking a bath her body felt even lighter which made her more sleeper.

********************

Feng Shihan winced in pain as he tried to sit up, his broken leg throbbing in protest. Uncle Xi gently helped him back down onto the blanket, concern etched on his face.

"Ah, Kiddo, you mustn’t exert yourself too much," Uncle Xi said, his voice soft and soothing. "You need to rest and let your body heal."

Feng Shihan nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards the old man. Uncle Xi had taken him in, nursing him back to health after he was left injured in the forest.

Uncle Xi handed Feng Shihan a steaming bowl of soup, made from a fragrant herbal broth that seemed to penetrate deep into his bones. Feng Shihan took a sip, feeling the warmth spread through his body, easing his pain and fatigue.

As they ate, Uncle Xi chatted with Feng Shihan, asking about his current condition and how he was feeling. Feng Shihan told him about the pain in his leg and ribs, and Uncle Xi listened intently, his eyes shining with warmth and understanding.

"I’ll add some balm on it later, that should help. Overall your body seems to be healing very fast."

After lunch, Uncle Xi helped Feng Shihan clean up, gently washing his face and hands with cool water from a nearby stream. Feng Shihan felt like he was in good hands, being cared for by Uncle Xi’s gentle touch.

"I still don’t get why a nice old man is living out here by himself.."

Uncle Xi smiled as he wiped Feng Shihan hair, he did miss his grandchildren but living here was the best for him.

"They think I’m dead, my life wasn’t so peaceful back in the city. The family problems was too much for this old man to bear, my children hurting one another over a silly inheritance. So I staged my death and hid my will somewhere they’ll never find. I gave most of my properties and wealth to my daughters and grandchildren. My sons, they don’t deserve anything.."

Feng Shihan stared Uncle Xi intently, his eyes widened and he smiled. It had really been a long time.
