Ye Chu was dragged by Pang Shao to accompany him in drinking. Ye Chu did not touch a single drop of wine, but he got Pang Shao so drunk that he collapsed on the flower boat. Seeing Pang Shao dead drunk, Ye Chu searched his body and pulled out a handful of gold coins. Very kindly, he hired several men from the flower boat to carry him away and told them they could do whatever they wanted to Pang Shao that night.
By the time he returned to the residence, it was already late. He saw Bai Xuan bending over to pour water into a foot basin, her hips raised, exaggeratedly full, her trousers stretched tight, making her wide hips even more prominent. Her long legs were straight, her whole body radiating the charm of a mature woman. Ye Chu’s gaze fell on Bai Xuan’s voluptuous body, finding it hard to look away.
Bai Xuan sensed someone behind her and turned to look. Seeing Ye Chu smiling at her, his gaze on her sensitive spot, her cheeks lightly flushed.
Ye Chu smilingly shifted his gaze, pulled over a nearby chair, and sat cross-legged lazily opposite Bai Xuan. “Is Yao Yao asleep?”
“She waited for you a long time, but could not resist sleepiness and went to bed first.” Seeing Ye Chu with both feet on the chair, she patted his foot. “Take your stinky feet off. Not afraid of dirtying the chair. I just drew water for foot washing. Want to wash first?”
“I will just use some cold water later. Bai Xuan jie no need to mind me.” Ye Chu laughed, sitting lazily on the chair, his gaze turning aside, unknown what he was looking at.
Bai Xuan, seeing Ye Chu had no intention to wash his feet, ignored him. She removed her shoes, preparing to put her feet in the basin.
As Bai Xuan tested the water temperature with her foot, unbeknownst to her, Ye Chu had already shifted his gaze to her feet.
Bai Xuan’s calves were white as tender lotus root, her jade feet slender and tender, beautiful and pure white, exceptionally exquisite.
“Bai Xuan jie’s feet are truly elegant.” Ye Chu smiled in praise. Ye Chu had heard people say before that to appreciate a woman, look at her feet and legs. A woman’s beauty and temperament are embodied in her jade feet. Now it seemed absolutely true.
Bai Xuan’s legs looked pure white without bone, slender and tender. Like Bai Xuan herself, very captivating.
“You understand nothing.” Bai Xuan’s cheeks flushed, she quickly put her jade feet into the basin, wanting to avoid Ye Chu’s gaze.
“Ah…” In her haste, Bai Xuan forgot the water was hot, could not help crying out in pain, and quickly pulled them out.
“Do not move.” Ye Chu, seeing Bai Xuan’s feet somewhat reddened from the scald, fetched nearby cold water and asked, “Want to add some cool water?”
“Mm.” Bai Xuan felt burning pain. Seeing Ye Chu holding cool water coming, she nodded. Water leaked from Ye Chu’s hand seams onto Bai Xuan’s slender jade feet.
“Scalded quite badly. Want me to rub them? Otherwise blisters form, tomorrow walking will be hard.” Ye Chu’s gaze upward, looking very worried at Bai Xuan.
“Ah. Oh.” Bai Xuan, frightened by Ye Chu’s words, reflexively agreed.
Ye Chu grasped Bai Xuan’s leg, pinching and rubbing, feeling warmth and tenderness, his gaze on the exceptionally elegant and light jade feet.
Rubbed somewhat numb by Ye Chu, Bai Xuan reacted, thinking she was not sprained. Rubbing only promotes blood circulation. But cannot reduce heat from scald. Rubbing scalds has no effect.
“Ah…” Realising, Bai Xuan suddenly pulled her feet back, inwardly crying and laughing. Thinking she was older than Ye Chu, yet deceived by his casual lies.
Bai Xuan’s face flushed, eyes shy, seductive as silk, heart flustered. She quickly said to Ye Chu, “I am fine. No need to rub.”
Seeing Bai Xuan head lowered, beautiful face dyed red, Ye Chu inwardly sighed pity. Thinking he originally thought he could trick Bai Xuan into rubbing longer, but did not expect her to react so quickly.
Bai Xuan tested water temperature, seeing not too hot, put jade feet into basin. Seeing Ye Chu still staring, could not help scolding, “Using tricks to deceive girls on me.”
Ye Chu very innocently said, “Where? I only remember sprained feet need rubbing, forgot scalds cannot be rubbed. Just now too worried for you, mind did not turn in time.”
“Believe you ghost.” Bai Xuan felt face hot. If not knowing Ye Chu lied without blinking, she really would be deceived.
Jade feet in water, Ye Chu’s gaze could not help shifting to Bai Xuan’s body. Bai Xuan wore tight clothes, perfectly outlining her exquisite figure, chest full and standing proudly. One could feel the softness within.
Being looked at thus by Ye Chu, Bai Xuan somewhat embarrassed, scolded Ye Chu with a glance. Seeing Ye Chu subtly shift gaze, too embarrassed to curse him, just cheeks hot.
But as Bai Xuan inwardly relieved Ye Chu shifted gaze, she saw Ye Chu removing shoes. Could not help curiously asking, “What are you doing?”
“Washing feet?” Ye Chu very naturally asked.
“Then go draw water.” Bai Xuan reminded Ye Chu, but halfway through words realised. Seeing Ye Chu move chair to sit opposite her, she quickly said, “No fooling. Your stinky feet not allowed in.”
How would Ye Chu mind Bai Xuan’s words? Both feet already in. “Basin so big, enough for two. I lazy to draw water. Bai Xuan jie just bear with it.”
Bai Xuan cried and laughed, looking at legs already in basin, glared Ye Chu and said nothing. Just about to lift hers out. Was held by Ye Chu. “Bai Xuan jie not chat with me a bit?”
Bai Xuan looking at Ye Chu’s pair of clear black eyes staring at her, thought and said, “Then you not allowed to move randomly.”
After saying this, Bai Xuan did not lift jade feet from basin. Only, feet accidentally touched Ye Chu’s feet, slight warmth and slickness making her heart flutter.
“You not going to say something to me? Why silent?” Bai Xuan seeing Ye Chu quiet, could not help finding topic to shift attention.
“Oh.” Ye Chu laughed. “Perhaps in some time I will leave Yao City.”
“You leaving?” Bai Xuan looked at Ye Chu, beautiful eyes wide, staring at Ye Chu. Bai Xuan did not understand why she suddenly so agitated.
“Mm.” Ye Chu smiled. “Yao City originally not mine. No one welcomes me staying. This return just to take something. Now taken, time to leave.”
Saying this, Ye Chu paused and laughed. “If not for Uncle Bai wanting to pass me the method to enter General Tomb, day I took Hong Sha Gu Ben I would have left.”
“Why sudden such decision. Think properly again. Not everyone dislikes you. Yao Yao and… I willing you stay.” Bai Xuan looking at Ye Chu. Ye Chu curled on chair, very comfortable posture, mouth still curved in smile, relaxed lazy, face somewhat handsome, making Bai Xuan unable to help gazing.
“Cannot stay in Yao City forever.” Ye Chu shook head. When saying this, Ye Chu’s eyes met Bai Xuan’s.
Clear eyes made Bai Xuan’s heart tremble, recalling sometimes seeing Ye Chu, from his dissolute behind seeing that loneliness incompatible with world. Bai Xuan suddenly felt somewhat sad.
“If you want stay here, can always stay here.” Bai Xuan said. “You not say worldly curses cannot affect you?”
Ye Chu laughed. Bai Xuan clearly thought he could not bear Yao City’s curses to choose leave. But those curses, Ye Chu truly did not mind.
“Not talk this. Anyway still some time.” Ye Chu suddenly laughed, feet turning in basin several times, sticking to Bai Xuan’s legs. “Compare legs with Bai Xuan jie. See whose whiter.”
Seeing Ye Chu again nonsense finding excuse to take advantage, Bai Xuan cried and laughed. This time did not scold Ye Chu, mind still thinking Ye Chu’s words.
