Chapter 36: Saying That the Ankle Is Uncomfortable
Yifu put a lot of effort into preparing dinner, not only making relatively Western-style grilled sausages but also cooking what she considered the perfect dish to go with rice: scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
She initially wanted to test whether the two children were accustomed to Chinese food, but unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good.
The grilled sausages were pushed aside; even Qianzhi, who was anxious about her figure, couldn’t help but eat a lot.
However, during the meal, she kept looking down at her ankle, prompting Yifu to lean over and take a look.
That ankle, wrapped in delicate white silk, faintly revealed some skin color under the light, with perfectly balanced and beautiful lines. Aside from being pretty and delicious, Yifu couldn’t see anything particularly special about it.
“Is your ankle uncomfortable?”
Yifu asked with concern.
“Huh?”
Qianzhi realized her oversight and quickly averted her gaze, tightly gripping her fork and absentmindedly fiddling with the diced tomatoes on her plate.
“I see you seem distracted; did you accidentally sprain your ankle? It’s okay, after dinner, I can help you with a massage.”
Yifu placed a piece of golden egg in front of her and said gently.
Qianzhi watched Yifu skillfully pick up her food with two chopsticks and momentarily got lost in thought.
She thought to herself, Miss Yifu is amazing; even eating can be so elegant, and those chopsticks seem so nimble in her hands.
After dinner, Leia ran to her room to find a suitable outfit to dress up nicely for the graduation ceremony.
Qianzhi, on the other hand, felt a bit awkward sitting shoulder to shoulder with Yifu on the sofa. The little girl appeared somewhat nervous, only daring to sit at the edge of the sofa.
Her thighs, wrapped in white silk, were tightly pressed together as she lowered her head, not daring to look at Yifu’s face.
Yifu, however, appeared unfazed; she patted her thigh, covered by a fitted skirt, causing Qianzhi to feel her face burning, as if it would melt away.
She looks so beautiful! She’s really so beautiful… Doesn’t she know how beautiful she is?
Qianzhi stared at Yifu’s full thigh, feeling dry in her mouth, secretly repeating “she’s so beautiful” three times in her heart!
“Come on, let me give you a rub. Which foot doesn’t feel good?”
“Both don’t feel that comfortable…”
As soon as Qianzhi finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head, wishing she could slap herself.
Qianzhi, oh Qianzhi, how can you let Miss Yifu massage your ankle just to indulge your little schemes? Lying isn’t what a good child does… Qianzhi couldn’t help but feel a little guilty in her heart.
But her body honestly shifted to sit sideways on the sofa, extending her little feet into Yifu’s hands.
Yifu saw Qianzhi like this and thought she was just shy, not thinking much of it.
After all, for girls, the ankle is still a relatively private area. Not to mention such a cute girl like Qianzhi.
Yifu’s hands were warm, and although Qianzhi’s ankle wasn’t injured, the gentle massage felt incredibly enjoyable.
“Umm…”
Qianzhi’s cheeks nearly blushed to the point of bleeding, and she couldn’t help but let out a pleasant moan. She couldn’t help but wonder, is there really such a comfortable thing in the world?
I might get addicted; I really might get addicted to Miss Yifu’s delicate and balanced fingers!
“Mom? What are you doing? I heard Qianzhi sister making strange sounds in my room.”
Leia peeked her head out from her room and, seeing Yifu giving Qianzhi a massage, couldn’t help but relax a little.
“I’m helping your sister Qianzhi with a massage; her ankle is injured.”
“Oh, I see.”
Leia curiously walked over and sat beside them. Looking at how Qianzhi was enjoying it, a hint of envy flickered in her eyes.
“Then I…”
Before Leia could finish, Yifu pulled her little white foot into her lap too and began to massage gently.
“Little jealous one, are you feeling jealous?”
“N-no way.”
Although Leia said this, she still lowered her head in guilt.
Two pairs of jade legs, one in original flavor and the other wrapped in delicate white silk, were a feast for both the eyes and the touch.
Under Yifu’s finger movements, both little girls showed expressions of enjoyment.
“Have you chosen your dress for the graduation ceremony?”
“No… I don’t have a suitable dress.” Leia bit her lip, “But it should be fine to wear the school uniform, right?”
“But usually everyone wears dresses at the graduation ceremony, and there’s even a dance. Doesn’t Leia have anyone she wants to invite to dance with?”
Qianzhi’s voice trembled a bit as she glanced at Yifu, as if having some calculations in her heart.
“I don’t have any friends…”
Leia said with a hint of disappointment. She knew well how much a dress cost.
Those luxurious dresses could cost as much as Leia’s entire student loan for a year.
For someone used to a life of poverty, accustomed to being laughed at, Leia thought that being laughed at again at this graduation ceremony wouldn’t be anything.
After all, it would be the last time.
But… just thinking about how other outstanding graduates would be dressed beautifully standing on stage next to her while she could only wear a slightly faded uniform made Leia feel a little inferior.
