With the deal struck, Shun became cooperative. He followed the prescribed exercise regime for the next week without complaint. Of course, he was also planning for his great redecoration project. His mischievous glances at Wang Che betrayed his evil thoughts.

Wang Che was amused by the cheekiness, but he did not comment. If anything, he was happy to see Shun enjoying himself. He was only too happy to support whatever crazy ideas he had for their future home.

Naturally, he did not plan on revealing his plans at this point, but he was sure that the house he built would be his and Shun's home for many years to come. It was only right that Shun made it his own.

After the exercise routine on another morning, Shun was panting and sweating. He used the white towel to wipe his face. He scrunched his nose in annoyance. He did not mind most of the workout program after getting used to it a little, but weight training was the worst.

"Everything hurts." He complained, shooting a dissatisfied look at Wang Che.

"You will feel better after a hot shower." Wang Che replied.

"The stuff I ordered will be delivered today," Shun said in a whining tone. "I will be too sore to do anything."

"Oren and Zev will help you out." Wang Che said. "You are not allowed to do any heavy lifting. Understood?"

"You are not the boss of me. And why can I lift the stupid dumbbells and not a couch?" Shun looked at him in a challenge.

Wang Che was speechless for a second. "Those are two different things. The weight of a dumbbell is well-calibrated, and I am monitoring your progress. You cannot just start doing things that will affect your full recovery."

"Fine. But I am still sore." Shun complained. "I want a massage." historical

Wang Che sighed. He should have known that the little bunny was up to something with all the whining. Unfortunately, he could not do anything but obey.

"Alright. Take a shower, and I will make arrangements." He said.

Shun was energised and hopped out of the gym room with enthusiasm. He was tired of suffering, so he wanted a relaxing experience. Of course, if he could leave the house, it would have been better. He wanted a day away from his boring routine.

In the past, he used to go to the spa with his mother. At first, he was embarrassed because he seemed like a hopeless mama's boy when he appeared with his mother in the spa. But he got used to it. He even started looking forward to their days out.

Unfortunately, their relationship became tense because of all the restrictions they placed on him. But he never stopped loving anyone in his family.

When he reached his bedroom, he took his phone from the bedside table. He hesitated before he typed out a short message to his mother, updating her of his positive progress. Despite everything, he never wanted to be completely estranged from his family.

He knew they loved him. It was just that they did not know how to show it well.

Shun felt a little bit lighter before he went on to take a shower. His face stretched to a smile, and he hummed a cartoon theme as he showered. However, his happy smile fell from his face when he left the bedroom.

"What are you doing here?" He sputtered.

Wang Che looked at Shun with a raised eyebrow. He had a towel around his waist and another tied up like a turban around his head. The entire image was ridiculous, but Wang Che did not dare to laugh. He would only annoy Shun.

"I am here to give you your massage." Wang Che said as he indicated to the massage table he had set up.

"Why are you the one who is giving me a massage?" Shun asked stupidly. "I want a professional."

"Your physiotherapists were professionals, but you chased them away before they could do their work. So, you are stuck with me." Wang Che responded. "Do not worry. I am quite familiar with the best techniques for therapeutic massages."

Shun argued for a little longer, but he still found himself lying on the massage table. His ears were pink because he was embarrassed. That uncomfortable turbulence made him feel uncomfortable in his skin when he was too close to Wang Che welled up.

Wang Che had great self-control, but he could not resist playing a little when he saw the object of his desire splayed out before him. Without betraying ulterior motive, he calmly ran his hands over Shun's back. "Is there a specific area where you feel particularly sore?"

Shun's face became redder, but he refused to admit embarrassment. "Everywhere. I am sore everywhere."

"Everywhere?" Wang Che asked, in a silky-soft tone. The question had an undeniable sensuality in it.

Shun felt the hands that were on his upper back drift downwards to the small of his back. The light sensation from the slightly callused hands caused him to shiver lightly. But he did not want to admit defeat so easily.

"Everywhere!" He repeated through gritted teeth.

The fingers lingered on the small of his back before a single finger, and its light touch drifted a little lower. The sensation was like a trail of fire that heated Shun's body with an undeniable effect on his body.

"Why don't you start on the shoulders?" Shun shouted with anger at having lost out to Wang Che. He could only admit that the other man was a little craftier and more thick-faced than he. But he swore he would get his revenge.

Wang Che chuckled lightly with a hint of smoky sensuality before he stopped teasing Shun. If Shun turned his head to look at his opponent, he might have realised that Wang Che was not as unaffected as he seemed.

"As you wish." Wang Che said before picking the therapeutic oil he carried with him.

Then, he began massaging Shun's shoulders along with the base of his neck. The initial pressure he used was light for a moment before he dug his fingers into the muscles. Shun winced in pain at the increased pressure.

"Can't you be a little gentler?" He complained.

"The pressure is necessary for healing the muscles." Wang Che replied. "We can talk to keep you distracted if you like."

"Can I ask you anything?" Shun felt a little gleeful at the opportunity.

Wang Che felt like it was a trap, but he wanted to see what the little bunny was up to. "Of course."

"Do you date a lot?" Shun asked. "Like, how many exes do you have?"
