Sheng Yi smiled and didn't care at all when he told him to get lost.
"No, I definitely have to come back."
After getting Grandpa Sheng into the house, he came out and fiddled around for a while, finally taking a small box of black ointment and heading towards Zhu Qinghao's courtyard.
He had been concerned that Zhu Qinghao's foot was hurting and might not be able to open the door properly, so he didn't close the gate properly when he left and just pushed it open and went in.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhu Qinghao hopping around on one foot, doing her work.
He dared not make a sound, for fear of startling the person and causing them to fall.
I had no choice but to quietly walk over and grab the person.
"well."
Just as Zhu Qinghao heard the sound, she was startled, but then she fell into a firm and warm embrace.
She looked up and saw Sheng Yi, and she was in his arms. Her face turned red instantly.
Not only that, she was so panicked that she could almost hear her own heart pounding in her ears.
In a panic, she pushed Sheng Yi, trying to escape from his embrace, but failed.
"Brother Sheng Yi? Why aren't you saying anything? You startled me."
Upon hearing Zhu Qinghao's accusation, Sheng Yi was both amused and exasperated.
"As soon as I walked in, I saw you hopping around with one foot raised. I didn't make a sound because I was afraid of scaring you."
Zhu Qing was speechless for a moment, but after a while she remained stubborn.
"But you still scared me, humph."
Sheng Yi knew he had indeed startled her, so he didn't try to deny it anymore and readily admitted it.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I'll be more careful next time and try to call you after I've watched you finish dancing."
Zhu Qinghao, thinking of her own pathetic state, shook her head decisively and refused.
"That won't do. Wouldn't you be laughing at me?"
Sheng Yi smiled and helped the person to sit down, then said earnestly:
"I won't laugh at you, never."
Hearing his earnest promise, Zhu Qinghao felt that he was saying something else through those words, but she couldn't see any indication of it, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Well, I didn't do anything. I just soaked my feet in hot water. It's nothing serious. Maybe I'll be fine by tomorrow."
Sheng Yi glanced at her exposed, somewhat red and swollen feet, sighed softly, then squatted down and took out the ointment he had prepared.
"Let's apply some medicine. It should reduce the pain and help it heal faster."
Zhu Qinghao originally planned to apply the spiritual spring water later, but she was a little reluctant when she saw the dark ointment.
But she knew this was Sheng Yi's heartfelt wish, and he wouldn't be at ease if she didn't agree, so she obediently stretched out her foot.
Sheng Yi watched her movements. He had originally planned to apply the medicine to her personally, but now he suddenly hesitated.
Before he could even ask for her opinion, she stretched out her feet so gracefully.
"Does 'haohao' mean you'd like me to apply the medicine for you?"
Zhu Qinghao hesitated again, wanting to retract her outstretched foot.
"Then, then I'll do it myself?"
