“Remember to use it. There’s no more. Just go to the mountain and pick some more to dry.” Ye Muyu hesitated for a moment and did not stay any longer. She could tell that Madam Hu was tactfully reminding her to put her health first.
If the rest of the family soaked their feet purely to make it more comfortable, Ye Muyu soaked her feet to treat her illness.
In the end, she did not choose to resist. Although Chu Heng had teased her previously and made her a little angry, she could not sacrifice her own health. As for the discomfort in her heart, she would pretend that it did not exist.
Ye Muyu mentally prepared herself and walked back to the east wing.
When Madam Hu saw this, her eyes were full of smiles. She moved quickly and brought Chu Heng’s foot-soaking water over.
In the east wing.
After Ye Muyu walked in, she glanced at Chu Heng who was sitting by the bed, and ignored him. She walked straight over and bent down to bring the foot-washing basin to the side. She silently took off her shoes and socks to soak her feet. The herbs for soaking her feet had already been placed in the water. She just needed to soak her feet in peace.
“Master.” Madam Hu stood at the door and shouted.
Chu Heng responded and Madam Hu pushed the door open. After putting down the foot basin, she left.
Once she left, only the two of them were left in the room.
Ye Muyu buried her head in the water and did not make a sound. She only felt a burning gaze on her from time to time, but she was very calm and pretended not to notice.
Chu Heng did not say anything.
For a moment, only the sound of water could be heard in the room.
Ye Muyu slowly got used to this atmosphere. She had easily adjusted her mood. The little annoyance she felt just now had long been digested by her in silence.
At this time, Chu Heng wiped his feet and went out to pour away the water.
Ye Muyu’s fair feet stirred the water filled with herbs.
In the next moment, Chu Heng’s footsteps sounded.
Ye Muyu saw a figure appear in front of her. The figure stood still for a long time.
She looked up in confusion and saw Chu Heng’s dark eyes staring at her.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Muyu touched her face. She did not feel anything on her face, but she slowly realized that Chu Heng was looking at her differently.
She was a little shocked, but she tried her best to remain calm.
Chu Heng reached out and touched her forehead. His big, warm hand and even his fingertips were warm.
“I didn’t intentionally tease you,” Chu Heng said frankly.
Ye Muyu was slightly stunned. She was a little calculative, but it was just a little awkvvard. It was not a big deal.
Now that Chu Heng was apologizing to her seriously, it made her seem a little petty.
The unwillingness hidden in her heart had long dissipated.
Ye Muyu suddenly smiled and said gently, “It’s okay. Don’t misunderstand me again. Of course, I’ll try my best to clarify it in the future.”
Looking at Ye Muyu’s serious eyes, Chu Heng did not hide the smile on his face this time.
“I’m almost done. Go drink some milk and wash up. Go to bed and rest early. You have to go to school early tomorrow.” Ye Muyu crossed her hands on her legs and reminded him gently.
Chu Heng shook his head. “I’m fine. I’ve never slept so early before. I suddenly can’t fall asleep.”
“I’ll wash your feet.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached into the basin, grabbed Ye Muyu’s fair feet, and began to wash them.
Ye Muyu was shocked. She subconsciously dodged and tried to pull back. Her voice was full of shock. “Let go. You don’t have to help me wash. I can wash myself.. How can I let you…
