"The live broadcast is at 6pm... so aren't we a little early?"

Miao Meng glanced at her phone.

It's only around ten o'clock in the morning, it's still early.

"No, the timing is perfect because there are many steps to prepare before putting on makeup."

Xingchuan Taku shook his head, looked at Mizuno Ai, and asked softly, "Xiao Ai, before you put on makeup, I hope I can give you a massage. Is that convenient?"

"massage?"

Mizuno Ai was stunned and looked up at him.

"Yes."

Hoshikawa Taku nodded and explained, "Although your body is out of danger, your nerves are sensitive and your muscles are stiff. You can't withstand the stimulation of makeup and styling products right now. I'm going to give you a massage and acupuncture to help your skin recover temporarily to the point where you can apply makeup."

Hasegawa was also surprised after listening to his description.

"Mr. Xingchuan, do you also know how to give massages?"

He is not only a lighting technician, but also knows how to do makeup and massage... He has so many skills!

Hasegawa felt ashamed of himself.

Hoshikawa Taku nodded calmly: "Well, it's no exaggeration to say that my massage skills are very high and have reached professional standards."

Taku Hoshikawa is still modest. Let alone professional standards, his massage skills are so extraordinary that they can be regarded as "entry into the art".

He paused and continued, "But, there's a problem. If you want to give me a massage, it would be best to remove the bandages on Xiao Ai. How about that...is it convenient?"

When Hoshikawa Taku said this, there was no embarrassment in his tone, as if he was just stating a necessary medical procedure.

But Hasegawa's brows immediately furrowed.

The reason why Mizuno Ai had so many bandages on her body was because she had too many unhealed wounds on her body.

Although doctors often remove and change bandages, they are doctors after all. Hoshikawa Taku not only has no medical qualifications, but he is also a member of the opposite sex...

Just as she was about to refuse, Mizuno Ai, who had been listening quietly, spoke first.

"It's okay. If Mr. Xingchuan needs you to, just remove these bandages. Mr. Xingchuan saved my life, so why should I resist?"

She smiled softly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of self-mockery. "Besides, my body is in this condition now... If someone saw me, it would be an eyesore."

The hint of sadness in Mizuno Ai's eyes made Miao Meng feel unbearable and her heart ached.

She suddenly felt that the purpose of her trip was a bit glaring.

Mizuno Ai is in such a bad situation now, but she still wants others to accompany her for the benefit of her own family. Isn't it a bit too shameless...

Hoshikawa Takuya felt a little sorry, but he didn't say anything. He just said to his agent: "Ms. Hasegawa, what do you think? Xiao Ai said this, can you believe me?"

"……OK then."

After a few seconds of silence, Hasegawa finally nodded and agreed reluctantly.

Mizuno Ai didn't want to be massaged under the gaze of others, and her agent didn't dare let Hoshikawa Taku be alone with Mizuno Ai, so after some discussion, the two sides reached a consensus and decided to arrange the room like a medical room and a massage parlor, using a white curtain to divide the room into two.

The curtain was pulled open along the hanging rail, dividing the room into two areas, the outer side was where Miao Meng and the agent were, and the inner side was reserved for Hoshikawa Taku and Mizuno Ai.

The curtain material is thin and light, and the outline of the movements inside can be vaguely seen. If Taku Hoshikawa makes any move that crosses the line, the agent can rush in to stop him immediately.

Behind the curtain, Taku Hoshikawa took off his coat, rolled up his shirt cuffs, slowly squatted down, and looked calmly at Ai Mizuno who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

The bandages meandered from Mizuno Ai's neck to her arms, shoulders, back, and even her chest and calves. Her body was like porcelain wrapped in layers, fragile and delicate, with shocking scars hidden behind every inch of the bandages.

"I'm going to start."

Hoshikawa Taku whispered, his tone so gentle as if he was afraid to disturb her emotions, "I will be very gentle... If it hurts, tell me."

"Ah."

Mizuno Ai nodded slightly and pursed her lips nervously.

Starting from her shoulders, Taku Hoshikawa carefully untied the first layer of bandage with his fingertips. His movements were extremely slow, and the force he applied was almost negligible, but it was enough to make her eyelashes tremble slightly.

A shy blush quietly appeared on Mizuno Ai's cheeks.

Although the doctor changed the bandage frequently these days, the subtle warmth of Hoshikawa Taku's fingertips occasionally brushing against her skin always brought her an indescribable throbbing, making her heart beat faster.

As the bandages were untied one by one, Mizuno Ai's body was finally freed from the restraints, like a cocoon being opened, revealing her skin covered with pale red scars to Hoshikawa Taku without reservation.

Although Hoshikawa Taku had expected this, a trace of heartache still flashed in his eyes when he saw the wounds that were still red and swollen and had peeled and scabbed.

Looking at the girl's body in front of him, there was no distracting thoughts in his mind. After taking a deep breath, his eyes became calmer than ever.

He slowly knelt behind her, his hands suspended a few inches above her back, but he didn't lower them.

"Xiao Ai, you can close your eyes."

He said softly, "I won't touch the wound. I'll just press the surrounding meridians to relax your muscles. You don't need to be too nervous."

Mizuno Ai responded softly, but her tension did not ease at all.

This was the first time that a person of the opposite sex touched her skin, other than medical staff!

Especially now that her body was covered in scars and had sensitive parts everywhere, which magnified her sense of touch several times, she felt even more nervous.

She still kept her head down, her face flushed even more, and even her breathing became a little restrained.

Taku Hoshikawa's fingertips finally gently fell, starting from two inches on the side of her neck and slowly pressing along the Jianjing acupoint.

The pressure was not strong, but it reached deep into her skin, making the long-accumulated numbness in her shoulders and back seem to melt away all at once.

"what……"

Mizuno Ai couldn't help but hum softly, as if inadvertently revealing her body's instinctive reaction.

She then bit her lower lip and almost hunched her shoulders in shame.

"Don't hold it in, scream if you want to."

Hoshikawa Taku's voice was filled with laughter, yet it was also exceptionally gentle.

His fingers wandered over Mizuno Ai's shoulders and back, and both sides of her spine, one by one passing through Fengmen, Jianzhongyu, Dazhui, and other key acupoints that regulate lung qi and relieve tension after burns.

He didn't hesitate at all, as if he had already engraved her meridian map in his mind. He knew the location of all the acupuncture points, the depth and angle of the pressure.

Mizuno Ai's body trembled slightly from time to time under the pressure of Hoshikawa Taku's fingertips.

The trembling was accompanied by some nervousness and uneasiness at first, but as his technique went deeper and deeper, the meridians were precisely stimulated, and the nerves gradually adapted to the warm touch. The instinctive resistance faded away quietly without anyone noticing.

Her back arched, and her slightly drooping hair fell down, covering her flushed cheeks.

She pursed her lips tightly, trying to suppress something, but the feeling of relaxation and comfort could not help but overflow from her breath.

"Um……"

The voice was very soft, as soft as a dream talk, but with a heart-throbbing softness, like some kind of belated breath.

Mizuno Ai bit her lips, trying not to make any more noise, but that kind of comfort could not deceive her body.

Wherever the fingertips reach, every inch of muscle is breathing and every inch of skin is responding.

Whenever Taku Hoshikawa gently pressed a certain acupuncture point with his fingertips, a tingling sensation mixed with numbness would spread from the spine along the nerves, like a warm current flowing into her blood vessels throughout her body, causing her to hum unconsciously.

And just outside the white cloth, Miao Meng and Hasegawa were staring at the blurry silhouettes reflected on the cloth.

Taku Hoshikawa knelt behind Mizuno Ai, leaning forward slightly, sliding his hands across her shoulders and back inch by inch. His movements were focused and gentle, looking almost like the comfort between lovers.

Coupled with the intermittent humming sound coming from behind the curtain, the sound with the ups and downs of breathing is very much like "a certain scene" that makes people imagine.

It would be fine if I just closed my eyes, but... there was no need to close my eyes at all. That thin curtain was a natural canvas, just like watching a shadow play, rendering all the ambiguous feelings to the fullest.

Agent Hasegawa clenched his fists, his face flushed red, and he resisted the urge to rush in.

She really wanted to stop Hoshikawa Taku, but she could feel that Mizuno Ai's humming was not painful, but instead sounded comfortable.

This should be the most comfortable time that Mizuno Ai has felt in a long time.

She could only breathe heavily through gritted teeth, her fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and stared at the two figures behind the curtain.

It's okay if it's just a massage now, but if Hoshikawa Taku takes off his clothes or pants, she will stop him no matter what!

Miao Meng stood behind her with an ambiguous smirk on her face, which she could hardly suppress.

The idol that the agent had raised for several years was being taken advantage of by others, and the agent could only watch helplessly and unable to stop it.

Suddenly I feel that she is a bit like a "sufferer"...

Chapter 208: Public relations handling of the firm.

During the hour that Taku Hoshikawa was massaging Mizuno Ai, agent Hasegawa was really uncomfortable.

She sat on the sofa outside with her shoulders tense, staring intently at the "shadow play" that appeared and disappeared behind the white cloth in front of her.

The tiny noises coming from within the white cloth were particularly clear, especially the occasional muffled groans, which were like invisible thorns piercing her heart, making her dare not blink for a moment, for fear that Hoshikawa Taku would do something out of line.

When she watched Hoshikawa Taku finish the massage and walk out from the other side of the curtain, she immediately stood up and asked impatiently: "How is it, is it over?!"

However, Hoshikawa Taku waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not over yet. I still need to use acupuncture to relieve her pain and block her pain."

As he spoke, he squatted down, opened the suitcase, and took out a cloth needle bag. A row of silver needles were neatly arranged in it, and a cold light flashed.

"A massage is fine... but you want acupuncture? Can you really do that?"

The agent frowned worriedly.

"Why, at this time, are you still worried about me?"

Hoshikawa Taku smiled at her, his eyes calm and he said, "Didn't you never stop me when I was massaging you? If you thought my technique wasn't good enough, or that I had bad intentions, you would have rushed in and pushed me against the wall a long time ago, right?"

The agent was speechless for a moment, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. She did not question Hoshikawa Taku's ability anymore, but put forward her own request.

"... Massage is fine, but can you let me watch you give me acupuncture? I need to make sure you don't hurt Xiao Ai."

"of course."

Hoshikawa Taku nodded nonchalantly, "As long as Xiao Ai agrees."

"Well, Miss Hasegawa, come in too. Don't worry, Mr. Hoshikawa's massage... is actually very comfortable..."

Mizuno Ai's voice came from the other side of the curtain, her tone was soft and a little shy, as if she had just come out of a hot spring.

When the agent thought of Xiao Ai's groans just now, his face turned red.

Is massage really that comfortable?

She bit her lower lip, a hint of hesitation and even a hint of... curiosity flashing through her mind.

Looking at her reaction, Xingchuan Taku raised a playful smile: "If you need a massage, I can give you one later, okay?"

"I don't need it. Stop talking about these messy things and help Xiao Ai get treated quickly!"

She seemed to be poked by something, turned her head away in panic, and raised her voice.

As the white cloth was gently lifted, the agent followed Hoshikawa Taku into the curtain, while Miao Meng remained on the outside.

There's nothing I can do about it, since she's a stranger to Mizuno Ai.

She could only lean against the door holding her bag and muttering, "This is too much! As expected, I am still an outsider who cannot be trusted..."

Returning to the inner room, the curtains fell, gently blocking the view from the outside world and creating a sense of seclusion and tranquility.

The room was filled with the faint scent of mugwort, which was the medicinal fragrance lit by Taku Hoshikawa. It was clear and not pungent, and it made people relax unconsciously.

Taku Hoshikawa took out the silver needles one by one, rotated them between his fingertips with skillful movements, disinfected them carefully, and prepared them.

Mizuno Ai didn't look back, but just asked softly: "Does it hurt?"

"If it were me, no."

Hoshikawa Taku said in a low voice.

His eyes were fixed on Mizuno Ai's exposed back. The skin below her shoulder blades was left with marks of different colors due to burns, but at this moment, under the warm light, there was a fragile and soft beauty.

"You just have to take a deep breath and hold still."

Mizuno Ai nodded slightly, her hair falling down, half covering the slight redness of her earlobe. Her fingers unconsciously grabbed the edge of the bed sheet, as if to hide the nervousness in her heart.

Taku Hoshikawa raised his hand, gently rotated the silver needle, and the first needle pierced into the shoulder well.

At that moment, Mizuno Ai took a deep breath and the corners of her eyes trembled slightly, but then, an indescribable sense of relief spread from her shoulders, as if a tingling sensation flowed into her body, and her originally tense muscles gradually relaxed.

The second injection was at the lung point, and she felt her breathing became a little smoother.
