Vermont wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, he realized that all his exes fit Felicity's description.So, he said, "Well, that'll just be a bonus on top."Felicity glowered at him. "What a playboy!"Vermont chuckled. "Isn't this a double standard? Don't you watch short videos of guys showing off their abs too? You like people with good figures just like me.""How am I like you? I'm only watching them for inspiration, but you actually get your hands on them!"Vermont's mouth twitched. "You looked at those men's abs for inspiration? What kind of script are you writing?"Felicity put on a scornful look. "Are you implying that I write erotic stuff? I'm only watching those videos to sharpen my observational skills, okay?"She continued proudly, "I'll tell you what. My new script's opening has been accepted, and they said they're going to sign the contract once I finish the entire script and there are no problems with it!"Vermont felt happy too when he saw the exc
Felicity said, "Come on, Mr. Snyder, be more like a gentleman. I didn't get mad when you said that I lack feminine charm, right? Although you look like a playboy, you're actually a very trustable friend. After all, I'm not dating you, so you being a playboy doesn't affect me at all. We can still get along well as friends."Vermont paused. The phrase "I'm not dating you" sounded very particularly unpleasant to him as he suddenly felt a stifling sense of frustration inside.He scrunched his face and said while gritting his teeth, "Like I would be interested in dating you!"Felicity did not notice that he was throwing a tantrum and thought that he was simply arguing with her as usual. So, she said playfully, "You're right. Mr. Snyder is known to have high standards for women. How could my short legs ever be good enough for him?"Listening to her self-deprecating words that were meant to cheer him up, he felt even worse.He thought to himself. 'Yeah. I have no idea why I would lower m
'What? I didn't mean it!' Felicity's thoughts raced inwardly as she observed Vermont's well-defined back. "Does he really think we're that close?" Her heart pounded with a mixture of confusion and anticipation.Despite being nearly the same height as Keegan, Vermont possessed a slightly leaner physique. However, once he removed his clothing, his well-defined muscles became apparent. It was evident that he maintained a regular gym routine and was in excellent physical shape.Felicity had spent a considerable amount of time working on set, witnessing numerous "impressive scenes."Especially in recent years, her company had been producing drama series targeting young adult audience, featuring mostly popular young heartthrobs.Those guys had fair and soft skin. However, once they removed their clothes, many of them resembled boiled chickens, while others appeared skeletal.While their bodies displayed some degree of muscle, it was primarily due to their slimness. When they wore the sh
Inside the box, there were not only cupping tools but also a back massager and essential oil.Vermont was too lazy to go to the shop for a massage session sometimes, so he would call a masseur to come to his house. It was nothing surprising that he actually had all those things at home.Felicity realized that she had gotten herself in trouble as bit the bullet and said, "I would've thought that you run a massage parlor if I don't know you.""Cut the nonsense." Vermont threw her a lighter and said, "Come on, show me how good you are."He lay flat on the sofa, exposing his entire back.Felicity looked at the lighter, then the bottles and jars in the box. She thought about the last time she had cupping therapy and how the therapist did it. She felt like... it was not anything too difficult. 'I only have to do this, then this, and put the jar on his back, right? 'It doesn't require a lot of skills... I guess.'"What are you waiting for?" Vermont urged her. "We're going to play games
Felicity was stunned, and a sharp scream followed. "Ahhh! Your butt is on fire!"Vermont was confused. Then, he felt the heat on his buttocks after a few seconds. He turned around and saw a tall flame burning on his shorts.He quickly jumped off the sofa, took off his burning shorts, and threw them aside in a swift motion.Felicity saw it and quickly walked over to stomp on the shorts, putting out the flame.She still felt a lingering sense of shock. When she turned around and was about to ask Vermont if he was burned, she saw him standing beside the sofa naked while wrapping her blanket around his waist.Felicity's eyes widened as she glowered at him and said, "What are you doing with my blanket?!"Vermont tied a knot with it and swept his gaze across her. "Do you prefer to see me naked then?"The imagination of Vermont's naked body flashed across her mind as she blushed and kept her mouth shut.Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "Why aren't you wearing underwear?"Vermont
Felicity hurried to the elevator and, seeing it was empty, brought the cardboard box into the house.Upon reentering, she found Vermont limping out of the bathroom.Setting the box down, she asked, "How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"Vermont, gripping a chair for support, replied with a pale face, "Not so good."Felicity's expression was more distressed than Vermont's. She knew she had caused significant trouble. Without hesitation, she helped Vermont dress and rushed him to the hospital.Her face was very tense during the entire journey.Vermont's backside was hurt, and he could not sit. So, he had to lie flat in the backseat and rested his head on Felicity's thighs.From the angle he was looking Felicity at, she looked extremely worried. Her chubby chin was tightly clenched, and Vermont could tell that she was feeling very uneasy.Vermont could not help but reach out to poke the dimple on her cheek as he chuckled and said softly, "Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid
The doctor avoided direct eye contact with Felicity, adjusting his spectacles and clearing his throat before speaking. "It's pretty serious. Apart from his buttocks, his groin, perineum, and the area near his genitals were also burned."Felicity was shocked. "Doctor, are you sure about that? He was walking fine at home earlier. How did it become so serious?"The doctor swept his gaze across her. "Are you doubting my professionalism?"Felicity shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I was just... very surprised. He didn't mention any pain earlier. He had no trouble walking, and I'm just shocked that he can't even get up now."The doctor explained, "In cases of severe burns, the sensation of pain can sometimes be delayed. It's very common."Before Felicity could process the logical loophole of his words, the doctor continued, "His reproductive ability would be affected if it's not treated properly. Conducting cupping therapy without professional knowledge is already a dangerous th
Felicity would not have run away from her home if it was not because of the endless blind dates her mother arranged for her.With her twenty-sixth birthday approaching in two weeks and nothing bad happening to her, her head got big. She even texted her mother to make fun of her superstitious belief and told her to be more practical. Unexpectedly, karma hit her right in the face.The disaster had caught up with her right before turning twenty-six.And she could even be jailed.Felicity got more anxious and scared as she thought about that. She even wanted to swap places with Vermont.Vermont heard her come in, but she wasn't talking.His back was getting stiff, so he was about to stretch when he heard Felicity say, "I'll cover all your medical bills and expenses while you recover, including your lost wages..."She stopped, her eyes red, and then continued, "I might not be able to pay you for your lost wages right away. Could you give me an IOU instead?"Vermont looked at her. He
