Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Enough, enough...

I like my senior sister, and my senior sister likes me too, so what’s the point in worrying?

You Su knew he had no way out, so he put his big feet into the wooden bucket.

Yet the biggest issue is that the size of this wooden bucket is only suitable for one person, and with You Su’s large feet, it’s impossible for four feet in the same bucket not to interfere with each other.

This bucket is actually quite mysterious, enhanced by an array for heat preservation, so the hot water is still somewhat scalding, but in stark contrast to this is the slightly icy jade feet of the senior sister.

Touching this skin as soft as mutton-fat jade, You Su’s breathing became erratic, and his heart quivered three times.

He instinctively wanted to lift his feet away, but Wangshu reacted quickly, directly raised her toes, and stepped on You Su’s foot.

"Junior brother, you can’t run."

Wangshu placed both feet on You Su’s, speaking in a tone that brooked no refusal.

You Su’s breathing became slightly rapid, feeling that the flesh under her feet was as tender as flower stamens, combined with the cool touch, it gave an indescribable feeling on his feet.

"I won’t run... You can let go now, senior sister..."

Wangshu obediently let go, then crossed her feet with You Su’s, filling the bucket.

Not only are their hands clasped now, but even their feet are intertwined.

"Junior brother, tell a story."

Wangshu was very satisfied with the obedient You Su, her eyes curved into crescents.

You Su suddenly extended his fingertips and drew two circles with Profound Qi on the edge of the wooden bucket.

This bucket was specially bought from the Spirit Array Peak during meal times, not only could the array preserve warmth, but it could even heat up.

If he were to tell a story, the water temperature might not hold up for so long.

Immediately, You Su began his narration softly.

He had told this story many times before, so he was very familiar with it.

You Su’s choice of this story also carried deep significance. Since he wanted to explain to the senior sister the difference between liking and liking, he needed to show her what truly liking someone means.

And the entangled love of Xu Xian and Ms. Bai in The Legend of the White Snake is surely one of the best interpretations of love.

But the story’s span seemed a bit too large; Wangshu had not yet detached from the playful scenes in the green meadows, and seemed a bit bewildered by this complex love story.

You Su certainly did not expect that just one night, one story would teach his senior sister. He and his senior sister had plenty of time together.

"The story is over, senior sister needs to sleep now."

Sitting opposite each other, You Su tenderly rubbed the young girl’s head.

Wangshu squinted like a cat, enjoying it; it was her favorite moment of the day.

You Su lowered his hand, intending to lift his foot to leave, only to be trapped by Wangshu’s steps again.

"Junior brother still hasn’t answered me why I am special to you right now?"

Wangshu still recalled the question from the morning when she was holding hands with her junior brother.

You Su was slightly taken aback, then smiled:

"The answer is already in the story, senior sister should think it over."

Wangshu didn’t think You Su was being evasive or perfunctory; in fact, for a prodigy like her, the education she received had always taught her—

To comprehend on her own.

Her intuition was high, so she was very confident in herself.

Both of them sequentially lifted their feet from the water basin, You Su took out a towel and dried himself off.

Wangshu also accepted the towel You Su offered, mimicking him and drying her slightly red jade-like feet.

However, just as the young girl was about to cover herself with the quilt, You Su called out to her.

"Senior sister, wait a moment."

"What is it?"

You Su pressed his lips together and said, "I’m sorry, senior sister, actually I gave you more than just rouge and powder."

"Why apologize for giving me a gift, junior brother?"

Shouldn’t the apology come from someone like me, who can only let down junior brother’s good intentions?

"Giving someone something they can’t use isn’t a gift, it’s a burden; adding burden for others naturally requires an apology," You Su said thoughtfully, "but among the things I gave to senior sister, I think some are indeed usable..."

Wangshu’s beautiful eyes brightened a bit, and she brought out the jars hidden under her blanket:

"What is it?"

"There’s a small porcelain bottle and a round box of ointment. These two things are specifically chosen for senior sister and are not for facial use. I wanted to inform senior sister, but couldn’t find the time in the evening."

So junior brother was worried that the rouge wasn’t suitable for me and specially chose something else for me...

Wangshu took out the two items and asked, "Where are they used then?"

"They are to be applied on the body. The small porcelain bottle contains Red Orchid Powder, and the round box has Pearl Balm. I heard from the sisters in the store that these are popular among female cultivators now. Applying them on the skin can keep it moisturized and brighten it." You Su introduced them one by one, "Most importantly, the combination of Red Orchid Powder and Pearl Balm generates a subtle warmth, so when you apply it on the body, senior sister, it might alleviate the coldness."

Seeing how meticulously You Su had prepared for her, Wangshu felt a warm flow in her heart.

She felt increasingly regretful for leaving in sadness during the evening, with an inexplicable impulse in her heart, wanting to hear praise from You Su, and wanting to be closer to him...

When Ms. Bai was searching for Xu Xian, was she like this too?

"Thank you, junior brother!"

Wangshu threw herself into You Su’s arms, imitating Ji Lingruo, and gently hugged his waist.

You Su’s whole body stiffened, feeling that he held a cold fragrant mound of soft jade completely in his arms.

Fortunately, Wangshu, like Ji Lingruo, only tried it briefly and stopped.

She returned to sit on the bed, had already opened one of the bottles and jars, eager to try it.

"Senior sister should start adapting initially when beginning to use them; you’ve just had a foot soak, so start with the feet. Even if you’re not used to it, you can easily wash it off." You Su thoughtfully advised.

Wangshu naturally listened, she took a little Red Orchid Powder, sat on the bed, and stretched her legs, intending to apply it to her foot.

But her legs were so long, even when she bent down and stretched her hand, she couldn’t reach the sole of her foot.

"Junior brother, I can’t reach..."

Wangshu pitifully sought help from You Su.

"Senior sister, if you bend your legs, you’ll be able to reach."

You Su laughed wryly.

Wangshu, however, manipulated her legs from left to right but still couldn’t reach. This young girl was as transparent as crystal, yet as clumsy as a blank sheet of paper.

She looked deflated, burying her lovely head deeply:

"Am I really useless, junior brother... the things you gave me, I can’t use any of them..."

In her voice was heart-wrenching self-reproach.

You Su felt a pang of pain as he heard this, and somehow, drawing on the accumulated warmth from the foot soak, he said:

"No, senior sister, it’s my gift that is lacking! Otherwise...

Let me apply it for you, senior sister?"
