It hurt at first when the aunties rubbed their backs, but they got used to it. After the massage, going back into the water felt like all their blood was flowing freely.
And while they were getting their backs rubbed, all their senses were focused on their backs, and they forgot all about being shy. By the time they were done, they were already used to the feeling of being completely naked in the public bathhouse.
After Yi Qingqing and Li Mengxue ‘enjoyed’ the services of the dormitory supervisors, they looked at each other and nodded.
“Aunt Guan, Aunt Hu, you two should go soak in the pool and rest for a while. Don’t tire yourself out. We will take care of the rest. You just need to give us some guidance.” Yi Qingqing said.
“Okay!” Guan Nanzhen and Hu Yuanyan got into the pool.
Yi Qingqing and Li Mengxue, grinning mischievously, ‘dragged’ Qian Lailai and Wang Lingling, who had been hiding in the water watching them make a fool of themselves, out, ready to personally ‘serve’ them.
Qian Lailai and Wang Lingling enjoyed the hospitality of the novices.
Wang Lingling was fine, as Yi Qingqing, who was rubbing her back, had at least studied medicine and knew some massage techniques, so she controlled the pressure quite well.
Qian Lailai, however, was in a terrible state, receiving ‘serious’ care from Li Mengxue. She felt her back being massaged with varying pressure, like torture.
Guan Nanzhen said to Hu Yuanyan, “Look at them, they’re just like us back then!”
Yi Qingqing had fun rubbing Wang Lingling’s back, and after that, she gave her a full-body massage. Wang Lingling was shy at first, but later, she felt so comfortable that she forgot everything.
“Wow, Classmate Yi’s technique is real!” Hu Yuanyan praised.
“I’m a medical major and have learned a little bit. Let me give you two a massage too!” Yi Qingqing was in high spirits.
“That’s great!” Hu Yuanyan agreed with a smile. Massage in the bathhouse outside would cost extra!
“I’ll go first!” Guan Nanzhen climbed out first.
Hu Yuanyan: “…”
“You’re such a grown-up, yet you’re still so reckless!”
“Oh, Classmate Yi’s technique is really good, very powerful!” Guan Nanzhen felt that Yi Qingqing hit the mark from the very first touch.
Yi Qingqing was also very happy to be praised; it was very fulfilling to put her knowledge into practice.
She continued massaging, with Aunt Guan praising her all the way.
There weren’t many people in the bathhouse. Apart from the dormitory supervisors and a few cafeteria aunties, all the attention was drawn to them.
With a wave of her hand, Yi Qingqing’s ‘Qingqing Brand Bath and Massage Center’ was officially open for business.
She used all her massage techniques on the aunts. After all, they were real people. The comfortable sighs and voices of praise made Yi Qingqing work harder. Her Chinese medicine skills improved by several percentage points, and her techniques became more and more proficient.
Li Mengxue, Wang Lingling, and Qian Lailai leaned on the edge of the pool, watching Yi Qingqing change from Classmate Yi to Classmate Qingqing, then to Qingqing, and finally to Xiao Yi and Xiao Qingqing in the aunties’ mouths.
The way they called out was so affectionate and endearing, as if they were old friends who had known each other for ages.
Some even offered to introduce her to their sons or grandsons of marriageable age, suggesting they find her a partner.
If Yi Qingqing hadn’t said she already had a boyfriend—a fellow educated youth who had passed the entrance exam with her this year—these older women might have argued over such a good match.
When leaving after taking a bath, the cafeteria aunt told Yi Qingqing to go to eat early tomorrow morning, as there would be steamed buns and egg soup. Even Aunt Hu, the dormitory supervisor of the male dormitory, asked about Yi Qingqing’s boyfriend’s information, as if she wanted to help take care of him.
When they arrived at the dormitory door, they separated from Aunt Guan and went up to the second floor. Yi Qingqing was blocked in a corner by her sisters.
Yi Qingqing: “…”
“What are you doing?”
