The ginger left a cooling sensation on the skin, but it didn’t feel like it was working, only bringing about a gradual pain in her legs, causing Bai Qingqing to wince softly.

Harvey set down the ginger and rubbed his hands rapidly, before laying his palms over Bai Qingqing’s ankle and rubbing it with a proper application of strength. It was only then that Bai Qingqing felt a spicy and hot sensation on her skin—it was indeed working.

Staring at Harvey’s actions, Parker frowned hard and finally couldn’t tolerate it any longer. He shoved Harvey aside and declared, “Let me do it!”

Slightly displeased at being shoved away, Harvey said with a sullen expression, “You don’t know how to. What if you hurt the female?”

Parker hesitated a moment, then stiffened his neck and said, “You teach me!”

Although Harvey was a refined person, he was very insistent at this moment. He stared at Parker without saying a word.

The uncomfortable Bai Qingqing struggled to squirm out from Parker’s arms. “Stop fighting! Let me do it myself.”

“Don’t move!” Parker rebuked her. Seeing this, Harvey no longer dared to insist. He said to Parker, “Watch carefully.”

Harvey lifted Bai Qingqing’s leg and massaged it in slow motion. This time, Parker could only hold himself back. Then, after memorizing the moves and key points, he took over.

Parker feared he would hurt Bai Qingqing, so he was extra cautious and didn’t use as much strength as Harvey. He carefully observed Bai Qingqing’s expression as he massaged her leg, asking her every now and then if it hurt. Bai Qingqing felt that this wasn’t something to fuss over. So long as he didn’t cause her pain, she was fine with it. Hence, every time Parker asked, she would reply that she was fine.

After massaging for a while, Parker asked, “Is there anything else to be done?”

“Depends on her condition tomorrow,” Harvey said with a cold face. “Bring back this piece of yellow root and rub it on her leg when you’re free.”

Parker replied with an “Mm.”

Just as they were about to leave, Bai Qingqing suddenly tiptoed over with her injured ankle to take a look at the mortars and pestles.
