He raised his head, a hint of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes, but soon he returned to his usual calmness. Under that calm face, it was difficult to see his true thoughts.
"What are you doing..." Wei Che frowned slightly and asked, his voice low and magnetic, with a hint of doubt that was hard to conceal.
Su Huaiyue raised the corners of her mouth, trying not to look too utilitarian, revealing a perfectly appropriate smile, and responded: "When you are away from home, the conditions are already difficult, so you have to pay attention to rest. Only by getting a good night's sleep can you have plenty of energy to deal with all kinds of unknown things tomorrow."
Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if all this was just a small thing she did casually, trying not to let Wei Che realize her true purpose deep in her heart.
After making the bed, Su Huaiyue inadvertently raised her eyes and saw Wei Che limping slightly when he stood up.
She stood up straight in an instant and asked him like a patriarch, "By the way, did you use the ointment I gave you earlier? Is your foot injury better?"
Wei Che read worry in her eyes, his expression instantly became unnatural, and his eyes began to flicker.
He felt his tongue suddenly tied, and he stammered, "I used... I used it, and it feels much better."
However, his evasive gaze and unnatural expression, like a firefly in the dark night, could not escape Su Huaiyue's sharp eyes.
Su Huaiyue suddenly felt a deep suspicion in her heart. Without thinking, she squatted down gently and stretched out her hand to check Wei Che's wound.
"Let me take a look. I hope the wound doesn't get worse. This plague is rampant, and we can't let a minor injury lead to a major problem."
Wei Che subconsciously wanted to shrink back, his body resisting instinctively.
But Su Huaiyue was quick-witted and grabbed his ankle.
"Don't move. Let me see."
Su Huaiyue's tone was unquestionable and carried an irresistible power.
Wei Che's heart tightened. This woman! She actually didn't care about her image at all!
Then, Su Huaiyue gently peeled back the gauze. Seeing that the ointment was applied very sparingly and had almost no effect, she couldn't help but scold him, "Why are you so careless about your injury? I carefully prepared this ointment to promote rapid healing. You have to apply it thicker. A thin layer like this won't help. How long will it take to heal?"
As she spoke, she reached out and took the ointment on the table beside her, squeezed some into her palm, rubbed it gently to warm it, and then carefully applied it to Wei Che's wound.
Her movements were gentle and delicate, and every stroke was filled with deep care.
Her fingers gently touched Wei Che's wound, her movements gentle.
Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue's lowered eyebrows and her focused and serious expression, and it seemed as if a warm current was quietly flowing in his heart, slowly flowing throughout his body.
His eyes unconsciously fell on Su Huaiyue's white, soft hands.
The hands gently rubbed his wound, bringing not only the cool feeling of the ointment, but also an unprecedented warmth and touch, which made his heart tremble slightly.
At this moment, the system's prompt sounded like a thunder in Su Huaiyue's mind: [Congratulations to the host, favorability +10%]
Su Huaiyue paused, but continued to apply the medicine for fear that Wei Che would notice.
I was so ecstatic that I almost couldn't control my expression.
She never expected that improving her favorability would be so easy this time.
It seems that improving favorability is not as difficult as imagined.
Su Huaiyue thought to herself, feeling a little proud.
She decided to press on with her victory, so she raised her head, a hint of cunning in her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming and seductive smile, and said to Wei Che: "Wei Che, you know? When you are serious, it is really reassuring. Every time I see you concentrating on doing things, I feel very at ease."
When Wei Che heard this, his body stiffened slightly, as if he was frozen in place.
He never expected Su Huaiyue to suddenly say such a thing.
He has always been serious and introverted. Faced with Su Huaiyue's sudden, bold and straightforward provocation, he was a little at a loss for a moment.
He sat upright, trying to make his expression look calm, but his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, like a wildly beating war drum, about to jump out of his throat.
He secretly told himself to stay calm, but his cheeks still turned slightly red uncontrollably.
Su Huaiyue looked at Wei Che pretending to be calm and felt very amused, as if she had discovered a new treasure.
After she applied the ointment, she opened her arms and gave Wei Che a big hug.
Her movements were natural and smooth, as if this was a very common occurrence.
"Thank you for your constant companionship and protection. Without you, I really don't know what I would do."
Su Huaiyue whispered in Wei Che's ear, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze, gently blowing through Wei Che's heart and stirring his heartstrings.
Wei Che's body instantly became stiff, like a cold stone. He had never expected Su Huaiyue to do such a bold move.
His hands hung awkwardly in the air, not knowing where to put them, like two lost birds.
His mind was blank, as if all thoughts had been cleared out. Only the faint, orchid-like and musk-like fragrance of Su Huaiyue lingered at his nose, and the touch of her warm and soft embrace remained.
At this moment, his heart was beating like thunder, and it seemed as if there were only him and Su Huaiyue left in the whole world, and time had stopped for them.
[Congratulations to the host, Favorability +10%, Completion Progress: 28%]
The system's prompt sound rang happily in Su Huaiyue's mind again.
Su Huaiyue almost screamed in her heart. She had been racking her brains on how to improve Wei Che's favorability towards her, but she never thought that physical contact could do it!
Su Huaiyue let go of Wei Che, a bright smile on her face, her eyes sparkling with excitement, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
She calculated that she was only 2% away from completing 30% of the task. As long as she could find a way to increase it by another 2%, she would be able to obtain the medicinal herbs rewarded by the system.
Looking at Wei Che, Su Huaiyue immediately had an idea in her mind, so she opened her arms again, ready to give Wei Che another hug, hoping to complete the task in one go.
However, this time Wei Che seemed to be on guard. He quickly took a step back and nimbly avoided Su Huaiyue's hug.
A trace of panic flashed across his face, and there was a hint of help in his eyes. "I... I'll go see if grandma needs anything and help her."
He stammered and ran out of the room, his steps so hurried that he almost bumped into the door frame.
