Chapter 1369

All these burdens were placed upon his shoulders.

Hence, it was conceivable that strong as he was, the stress he felt was just as exhausting.

Natalie bent over and kissed him gently on the forehead.

Then, she continued to massage him.

This time, she did more than just massaging.She applied cupping as well.

Indeed, she applied the technique known as "cupping."

Although cupping was a bit old-fashioned and many people disliked it, the results of cupping were very
good, especially for muscle soreness.

Personally, she had the habit of administering cupping.

Her job, to draw blueprints, was basically sedentary work.

The consequence of sitting for a long time was back and neck pain.

Massage alone was not enough to relieve these.

After pulling off the cups, the whole person felt relaxed, so she bought a set of these tools to put in the
bathroom.

She still remembered the shocked expression on Shane's face when he first saw these glass cups.

Obviously, Shane had never tried cupping, besides, he was such a prim and proper man that she could
not imagine him going through that treatment.So, she was the only one using those cups.



This was the perfect moment to try this on him.

Smiling, Natalie applied the essential oil, lit it, and stuck the glass jar on Shane's back.

Shane was wakened by the warmth he suddenly felt on his back.

His eyes opened suddenly and he sat up straight.

"What's that? What are you doing?"

He turned his head, trying to see what she was doing to his back.

Natalie patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't move.I'm administering cupping for you."

"Cupping?"

Shane was taken aback.

Then, he saw the glass cup behind him on his waist area.

Inside the cup, the fire had gone out.

White fumes filled the cup and he could feel distinctly the glass cup sticking to his flesh.

"That's right.Your muscles are so stiff that it's abnormal.You have been too tired lately, that's why I'm
doing cupping for you.This will relax your muscles.So, keep still and don't try to remove those things.If
you do, I'll cry."

Natalie looked at Shane as she instructed.

Returning her gaze, Shane opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he thought better of it.



Instead, he grunted and said, "Okay, I won't pull it off"

With that, he turned back his head.Oh, well.I'll let her do cupping or whatever game it is.

As long as it pleases her and makes her happy.As a matter of fact, Shane did not believe any of the
stuff about cupping being effective for sore joints and muscles.

To him, those were old wives’ tales.

Nonetheless, Natalie believed those tales, so it was unwise for him to comment, lest it upset her and he
would have to try and cheer her up again.

Seeing Shane turning around obediently, Natalie smiled with satisfaction.

Then she took up another glass cup, applied some essential oil to it, lit it, and pressed the cup on his
back.

Moments passed and Shane felt the cups on his back being removed one by one.She patted his
shoulders.

"It's done.You may move your body and see if there is relief" Shane frowned.

How could there be relief so fast? How could it be possible? Despite his misgivings, Shane did as he
was told because he did not wish to upset Natalie.He sat upright, moving his arms, neck, and back.He
was not sure if it was just his imagination, but he really felt a lot better! With these thoughts on his
mind, Shane squeezed his shoulder and his eyes widened in surprise.

The reason was that he felt his shoulder muscles were not as stiff as before.

Based on the results, it was obvious that cupping was, in fact, really effective.



Shane turned around in disbelief and stared at the glass cups, incredulously.

Obviously, he did not understand why lighting up essential oils in cups and letting them suck to the skin
could relieve muscle soreness.

Though Shane could not understand why, he could not deny the surprising effectiveness of the cupping
technique.

Seeing how Shane was in his state of surprise for so long, Natalie knew what he was pondering
over.She could not help but laugh softly.

"How is it? The cups are working well, aren't they?"
