After dinner, Su Jinyue put the leftover food and washed dishes into the cupboard. When she heard voices coming from outside, she knew that Xu Tiansheng and Song Yiren had returned.
"Jinyue, come out for a moment." Xu Tiansheng shouted from outside.
"I'm coming." Su Jinyue wiped the water stains on her hands with a towel and walked out of the kitchen.
"Jinyue, did you bully Yiren?" Xu Tiansheng asked sternly upon seeing Su Jinyue emerge. While Jinyue and Yiren weren't biological sisters, they had grown up together and, aside from being unrelated by blood, were practically sisters. He naturally hoped they could get along, be as close as real sisters, and help each other.
Su Jinyue looked at Song Yiren, only to see her eyes were red and her face was full of grievance. She sneered in her heart, "No, how could I bully Yiren?"
Xu Tiansheng glanced at Song Yiren and asked, "Yiren was injured, why did you leave without caring about her?"
Su Jinyue looked at Song Yiren in confusion, "Why didn't you tell me that you were injured? Where are you injured? I'll get some medicine to bandage you." Song Yiren only had a slight scrape on her palm. Could that be considered an injury?
Song Yiren gritted her teeth secretly, "It's just a twisted ankle. I'll be fine after applying some medicinal wine." Su Jinyue seemed like a different person now. Before, whenever her master's face was stern, she wouldn't even dare to breathe. But now, she dared to play dumb in front of her master. How could someone change so quickly?
"It's so inconvenient for you to wipe it yourself. Let me help you. I'll go in and get the medicinal wine. Wait a moment." Su Jinyue said as she ran into the house.
"No need, I can do it myself," Song Yiren shouted. Her foot wasn't injured at all, so asking Su Jinyue to apply the medicine for her would give her away.
After a while, Su Jinyue came out with a bottle of medicinal wine, "Yiren, sit down, I will help you apply the medicine."
"I'll do it myself later." Song Yiren reached out to take the medicinal wine from Su Jinyue's hand. She often twisted her ankle while collecting herbs in the mountains, and she always treated it herself. So she had never expected Su Jinyue to offer to help her apply the medicine. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said she twisted her ankle.
How could Su Jinyue let Song Yiren take the medicinal wine? She put the wine in her pocket and pointed to a chair beside her. "Bone injuries are no small matter. Sit down quickly. I'll give you a massage with the medicinal wine. I guarantee you'll be able to walk as fast as you can tomorrow."
"But I haven't washed my feet yet." Song Yiren said embarrassedly. Su Jinyue has mysophobia, and she would definitely not help her apply the medicine if she said that.
"What's the big deal? I don't dislike you. I get it. You didn't let me apply the medicine because you must be mad at me," Su Jinyue said with a look of sudden realization. She had been a mysophobe in her previous life, but during her time in prison, she had long since grown accustomed to the mess.
"How could I be angry with you?" Song Yiren laughed dryly. She wanted to bite Su Jinyue a few times to vent her anger.
Su Jinyue smiled and pressed Song Yiren down on the chair. "Since you don't have it, let me help you apply the medicine, otherwise I will think you are angry with me."
Song Yiren was so angry, but she couldn't show it in front of Xu Tiansheng.
"Which foot?" Su Jinyue asked, squatting down.
"Right foot." Song Yiren lowered her head and glared at Su Jinyue fiercely. She was really pissed off!
Su Jinyue smiled provocatively and took a stool beside her. "Put your feet on the stool, let me take a look."
Song Yiren gritted her teeth and slowly lifted her feet and placed them on the mat.
Su Jinyue reached out and rolled up Song Yiren's trouser legs, took a closer look, "It's a little swollen, just bear with it."
She poured out the medicinal wine, rubbed it in her palm for a while, pressed it towards Song Yiren's ankle, and began to rub it vigorously.
"It hurts! Be gentler." Song Yiren screamed in pain. Damn Su Jinyue, she was rubbing so hard. Even if her foot wasn't injured, it would have hurt.
"Bear with it, there is blood bruise here. Rub it away so it won't hurt tomorrow." As Su Jinyue spoke, she used even more force with her hands.
Song Yiren was so angry that her chest felt stuffy, but she was helpless and could only grit her teeth and endure the pain.
"When you're done, go to bed early." Xu Tiansheng smiled with satisfaction and walked towards his room. As long as the sisters had a good relationship, he was happy.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue and Song Yiren nodded in response.
Hearing Xu Tiansheng's door close, Song Yiren pulled her foot back with force, "That's enough!"
"What? You don't want to pretend anymore?" Su Jinyue stood up and looked at Song Yiren with a sneer.
"Su Jinyue, I don't understand why you're targeting me, but there's one thing I must tell you: stay away from Brother Zhan from now on." Song Yiren glared at Su Jinyue. Brother Zhan was hers, and no one else could take him away.
"I won't. Besides, tomorrow, Brother Yi Han and I are going to go sightseeing. Aren't you envious?" Su Jinyue smiled proudly and turned to walk towards her room.
Song Yiren was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She stared angrily at Su Jinyue's departing back, "Su Jinyue, I won't let you succeed!" She really didn't recognize Su Jinyue now.
Su Jinyue curled up a cold smile, with a condensation in her calm eyes, "Then let's wait and see!" Song Yiren, let's play slowly, and I will get back double what you owe me.
The night was dark, and the bright moonlight shone into the room through the window, dotted with stars and falling on the ground and the bed.
Zhan Yihan turned over again. He'd thought he'd fall asleep quickly after all the travel and the run up the mountain. But his mind kept flashing back to the memories of his day with Jin Yue, especially the kiss she'd given him on the cheek. It made him feel uneasy. What did she mean? Was it simply to thank him?
With his hands behind his head, Zhan Yihan stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time. He smiled and shook his head, his tone containing a hint of helplessness and a hint of pampering, "What a troublesome little girl." It seems that tonight will be a sleepless night.
Su Jinyue opened her eyes, looked up at the clock on the wall, and stood up to walk outside. She hadn't slept well that night, and she kept dreaming about things that happened in her past life. This made her feel a little depressed.
When I walked out of the house, I saw Xu Tiansheng practicing Tai Chi in the yard. This was his master's habit; he would practice Tai Chi every morning, rain or shine.
"Master!" Su Jinyue greeted Xu Tiansheng. Her previous master's sudden death from illness left her completely baffled. As a medical practitioner, she shouldn't have been unaware of her own health issues, but the situation was completely unexpected. Furthermore, she had performed a personal autopsy and found nothing unusual.
"Why are you up so early?" Xu Tiansheng asked in surprise. Jin Yue usually got up pretty early, but usually after six. It was rare for her to get up so early.
