A Valiant Life

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

At the bath center.

Lin Fan had been there for a while. Every night, he would come here to work for a while but the task hadn’t been completed yet. Judging by the situation, the promoting wasn’t good enough.

“Where’s the back-scrubber?” At that moment, a big man with tattoos came. His face was slightly red and he had clearly drunk quite a bit.

“Coming,” Lin Fan responded. The three back-scrubbing workers who had been learning techniques from him had improved a little. Although their technique still wasn’t even equivalent to 1% of Lin Fan’s, it was already at 0.2%.

If they put in some hard work, they would become back-scrubbing masters as well.

The big man lay down there and said in a boorish manner, “Hurry up and scrub. After scrubbing, I still have to go to the Golden Phoenix Bath Centre to find a prostitute.”

This was the first time Lin Fan saw someone talking about visiting a prostitute so casually.

“Your technique is pretty good.” The big man closed his eyes as if he was savoring it.

Lin Fan smiled, then carried on scrubbing vigorously.

He scrubbed to the left!

Scrubbed right!

Scrubbed forwards!

Scrubbed backward!

The big man’s face, which initially had an emotionless expression on it, suddenly changed. There was a ‘certain part’ of his body that didn’t feel quite right.

“Stop!” exclaimed the big man.

Lin Fan wanted to laugh but didn’t. “What is it?”

The big man didn’t cover it. “You scrubbed me until I almost ejaculated. How would I go to the prostitute’s then? Enough scrubbing of the front. Scrub my back.”

“But honestly, your technique is not bad, kid. It was the most comfortable scrub I’ve ever had. I can’t really bear to leave,” said the big man cheerfully.

“I’ll scrub the back.” Lin Fan nodded. Scrubbing the back would cause something to happen. He didn’t know why this big man liked prostitutes so much, so he decided that scrubbing his back would allow him to find out.

The big man lay there and found a good position that he was comfortable in.

Lin Fan’s palm descended.

Softly scrubbing, heavily scrubbing. As he scrubbed, the situation changed.

A deep, long sigh escaped from the big man’s mouth.

Lin Fan smiled, “Why do you like visiting prostitutes so much?”

The big man didn’t reply at first. His whole body felt limp and numb. It was a very unusual feeling. “Do you think I want to? It’s all trouble caused when I was young.”

Lin Fan asked happily, “How so?”

The big man shook his head, “I wasn’t like this in the past. In university, I met some unreliable roommates. There was a time when I was drunk, I was taken to a prostitute. Ever since the first time, I got addicted. I couldn’t stop even though I wanted to. Now that I look back, it’s almost been ten years. How did I become like this? I don’t even dare to believe that this is me.”

Lin Fan asked, “You want to cry?”

“What’s there to cry about? I’m just regretful and I want to quit,” said the big man with a voice filled with helplessness. However, he didn’t know what to do.

The surrounding back-scrubbing workers looked over and were a little astonished. Why was it that everytime Little Boss scrubbed someone’s back, that person would start talking about personal matters? Moreover, all kinds of strange and weird things would be brought up.

Even the other bathing guests were watching curiously.

Lin Fan didn’t say much. He kept scrubbing gently. This bad habit was actually a sickness. And since it was a sickness, it could be treated.

His hand movements gradually fluctuated.

“So comfortable.” The big man lay there with a look of enjoyment on his face. A drastic change had occurred in his heart.

He suddenly recalled all these years when he went to visit prostitutes and suddenly felt tired of it. He also thought about how comfortable this back-scrub was.

When he compared the two, he realized that visiting prostitutes was meaningless. On the other hand, back-scrubbing was much more meaningful.

…

The entrance of the bathhouse.

After paying, the big man stood there and scratched his head. He felt strange. What was going on that day? Why did he say so much to the young man during the bath?

Moreover, he didn’t even have any desire to go to visit the prostitutes anymore. He didn’t even think about it at all. This was very strange.

*ring ring*

A call came from Golden Phoenix Bath Centre. “Brother, when are you coming? I’ll come and fetch you.”

The big man said, “No need. I won’t be coming anymore from now on. No need to send me messages anymore.”

The manager said, “Brother, what’s going on? Was the little sisters’ service not satisfactory? Tell me, I’ll definitely make better arrangements for you.”

The big man replied, “No. I’ve stopped this bad habit. I don’t want to think about these things anymore.”

The manager asked, “How did that happen, Brother?”

“I don’t know either. But while I was having a back scrub, I suddenly lost interest in these things. I’m hanging up.”

The manager of Golden Phoenix Bath Centre was dumbfounded. What was going on? Had he scrubbed away his interest?

D*mn, who was he kidding?

A certain forum.

In this forum, there was talk about various eats in Shanghai and various specialties. It was all categorized by location.

And in the Cloud Street category, some posts gradually appeared.

‘Must-go places at Cloud Street.’

‘The bath center’s mystical back-scrubber. If you don’t try it for yourself, you’ll never know how it feels!’

These stickers immediately drew the attention of many netizens.

“Is this for real? Just a back-scrub made you all like this?”

“Who knows? This kind of posts has been appearing frequently recently. It’s scary. Is it a sales tactic? This is too cunning, isn’t it?”

“Where’s the forum manager? Come out and delete these posts!”

The ID ‘Wen Xuan GG’ commented, “I went to this bathhouse yesterday. That mystical back-scrubber is real. How do I put it? After the scrub, you’ll feel like you’re a whole different person. It’s hard to describe and I can’t say it clearly but to me, that person’s hands have demonic powers. His back-scrubbing techniques are really unmatched. It was really too comfortable. I strongly recommend everyone to go have a try.”

The ID ‘Your Dad Exists’ entered the conversation as well, “I went there before as well. I’m really too grateful towards this young back-scrubbing master. Initially, I was planning to break up with my girlfriend of eleven years after the back-scrub. However, after being scrubbed by that Big Bro, I suddenly realized how disgusting I was. Thank you to this Big Bro, who scrubbed me awake. Although I don’t know if it really has anything to do with this Big Bro, I believe that this Big Bro must have scrubbed away the darkness in my heart. I strongly recommend everyone to try it.”

“F*ck, ^ are you for real?”

“Forum manager Prostitute Bro, where are you?”

At that moment, the forum manager, Prostitute Bro appeared.

Big Prostitute: “They aren’t just promoting it. It’s real. I was just about to visit the prostitutes but I went to this bathhouse for a bath first. I never expected that after having my back scrubbed, I would suddenly realize that visiting prostitutes is meaningless. I’ve successfully stopped my bad habit.”

“F*ck, 6666…”

“Prostitute Bro has been affected as well.”

“Is this for real? Prostitute Bro is a veteran with eleven years of prostitute experience. Why would he suddenly be freed?”

“Unbelievable.”

‘Why am I so hot and cute’: “I did a search. It’s very near my place. I’m going to go and test it out. Wait for me.”

An hour later.

‘Why am I so hot and cute’: My god! I strongly recommend it. I really STRONGLY recommend it. I’ve always pretended to be a cute, young girl on the Internet to cheat all those netizens but now I suddenly realize that I can’t do something like that. I’m cheating other people’s feelings! And I’m evening cheating them of money and things. I will now return all the gifts that I have cheated people to get. From now on, I will be a real man.”

Everyone: “…”

“…”
