Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Xiaoyue's Troubles
"Slap!" Xiao Yi lightly tapped her hand with a chopstick and ,"Go and wash your hands first!"
"Hehe," Xiaoyue made a face and ran to wash her hands.
Old Qin wasn't at home, so it was just Xiao Yi and Xiaoyue having this meal. It felt especially warm and comfortable.
"Big Brother Xiao, the activity my classmates and I participated in these two days was so much fun. The theme was love and trust," Xiaoyue said excitedly as she put a piece of duck meat into her mouth.
"What kind of activity was it that made you still so excited from the moment you got back until now?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile.
Xiaoyue sucked her scallion-like fingertips and quickly said, "It's a large-scale psychological activity. It's held every day for the next half month and is really interesting. There were also many well-known psychological experts present, and even Doctor Liu Baihui from Haicheng, who just won the highest Outstanding Contribution Award in American psychology, went there."
"Liu Baihui?" As soon as Xiao Yi heard this name, his heart skipped a beat. For some reason, whenever he heard the name Liu Baihui now, he always felt that something was not quite right.
Xiaoyue was still very excited, chatting and eating, talking about how positive and interesting that psychological activity was.
Xiao Yi just echoed her. It wasn't until dinner was over and Xiaoyue went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Xiao Yi returned to his own room. After thinking for a while, he took out a small jade pendant that the boss had given as a gift when he visited the antique market to buy jade seeds.
The jade pendant had a lot of impurities and was of poor quality, but Xiao Yi didn't care about its appearance.
Instead, he injected a wisp of his spiritual consciousness into the inferior jade pendant. Then, he carefully took out a wolf-haired brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and painted on the surface of the jade pendant to make a Spiritual Consciousness Talisman.
This Spiritual Consciousness Talisman didn't have any other special abilities, but once the wearer was in danger, Xiao Yi would know about it immediately. Xiao Yi planned to give it to Xiaoyue.
However, just after making this Spiritual Consciousness Talisman, Xiao Yi suddenly heard a thud coming from the bathroom, followed by a cry of pain from Xiaoyue.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi quickly dropped the jade pendant and rushed to the bathroom door in a few steps, shouting loudly, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong?"
"Ah!" Xiaoyue let out bursts of painful cries, and her voice even seemed to change pitch.
Xiao Yi frowned. In a hurry, he swept with his spiritual consciousness and found that Xiaoyue in the bathroom was sitting on the slippery floor, trying hard to stand up but unable to do so. She seemed to be quite seriously injured.
Xiao Yi didn't dare to delay. With a forceful pull of his arm, he broke open the bathroom door and rushed to Xiaoyue's side in a few steps.
"Ah!" When Xiaoyue saw Xiao Yi breaking in, she let out an "ah" scream and at the same time, tightly protected her chest with her arms.
Xiao Yi was shocked. Only then did he realize that Xiaoyue was naked all over. He hadn't noticed this in his hurry just now.
Xiao Yi suddenly turned around. His old face couldn't help blushing, and he quickly said, "Xiaoyue, Big Brother Xiao didn't mean to. When I heard you cry out, I got worried."
Xiaoyue interrupted Xiao Yi's words and groaned, "Big Brother Xiao, my foot hurts so much. I can't stand up."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi turned around. But what greeted his eyes was another alluring sight of white skin. He quickly closed his eyes, groped for a large bath towel, wrapped Xiaoyue up, and said, "Xiaoyue, let's go out first. Big Brother Xiao will take a look at your injury."
Xiaoyue nodded. Just like a little cat, she curled up in Xiao Yi's arms and let him carry her all the way into the bedroom.
Xiao Yi stuffed the wet Xiaoyue into the quilt. After thinking for a while, he gently pulled out the wet bath towel. Then he lowered his head and carefully examined Xiaoyue's injured foot.
However, when he took a look, he was startled. Her left foot had already swollen up like a steamed bun in such a short time, and it was covered in bruises.
Xiao Yi reached out and touched Xiaoyue's foot, carefully feeling it all over. Fortunately, the bones were okay.
"It's just a sprained tendon. Bear with it, Xiaoyue. I'll knead it for you now, and it will be fine soon," Xiao Yi said as he started kneading Xiaoyue's foot.
Xiaoyue winced in pain and couldn't help trying to pull her little foot back, but she was firmly held down by Xiao Yi. He used the unique skill of the Guanyin Hand to slowly clear the blood stasis and knead the meridians.
After a while, Xiaoyue felt that the excruciating pain gradually lessened. Looking at Xiao Yi holding her little foot and kneading it carefully, Xiaoyue's face couldn't help blushing.
When the pain in her foot became even milder, the little girl propped herself up on her elbows, blinked her eyes, and looked at Xiao Yi, who was massaging her, with a smile on her pretty face.
Xiao Yi naturally felt her gaze. He looked up and asked, "Why aren't you lying still? What's with that expression looking at me?"
"Hehe, I always thought that even if the sky fell, Big Brother Xiao would be calm and unhurried. I didn't expect that you could also be so flustered," Xiaoyue said with a giggle.
"It's all because of you. You're so clumsy. You can even sprain your foot while taking a bath. It's a good thing I'm at home. If I wasn't, would you just sit on the bathroom floor all the time?" Xiao Yi pretended to be angry and scolded her.
"Hehe, it's precisely because you're here that I'm not afraid of anything," Xiaoyue made a face and said playfully.
"Hmph, being unreasonable," Xiao Yi glared at her.
"Hehe, Big Brother Xiao, you look so cute when you're angry," Xiaoyue said as she stretched out her little hand to pinch Xiao Yi's face.
However, she forgot that she was naked under the quilt. As soon as she raised her hand, the quilt slid down, revealing a large expanse of her tender breasts.
"Ah!" The little girl let out a low cry and quickly shrank back into the quilt, only sticking out her little head with a bright red face.
Xiao Yi was also stunned by the glimpse of white. Seeing the little girl's embarrassed look, he couldn't help laughing heartily.
"Hmph, what are you laughing at? It's not like I haven't seen you naked before," Xiaoyue was even more embarrassed by his laughter and muttered with a pout.
With just this sentence, Xiao Yi's laughter stopped abruptly. He inevitably thought of the embarrassing incident last time when he was naked and Xiaoyue saw him completely.
Xiaoyue was overjoyed to see that just one sentence made Xiao Yi shut up. She stuck her head out and looked at Xiao Yi with great interest, teasing, "Big Brother Xiao, you're so stingy."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi couldn't help asking. This was the first time in so many years that he had been called stingy.
"Last time I accidentally saw you naked, and this time you stared at me on purpose," Xiaoyue wrinkled her little nose and said deliberately.
"No, I didn't do it on purpose," Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Hehe," Xiaoyue covered her mouth and giggled. Finally, she added, "Big Brother Xiao, you looked so cute when you were in a hurry just now."
"Cute?" Xiao Yi was speechless. He stopped talking to the little girl and just lowered his head, picked up her foot, and focused on the massage.
However, under the thin quilt, he could still see Xiaoyue's white thighs. Especially when he thought that she was naked now, only covered by this thin quilt, the half-hidden situation, and the alluring fragrance after her bath all made Xiao Yi's heart flutter.
The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous.
While Xiaoyue's face was red and her heart was pounding like a drum, she even had a faint expectation, expecting something to happen.
However, Xiao Yi lowered his head and focused all his attention on Xiaoyue's injured foot. His warm palm kept rubbing, bringing Xiaoyue an increasingly strong and different feeling deep in her heart.
Although she didn't moan out loud like Shu Wan did, Xiaoyue felt that the heat on her body was becoming more and more unbearable. She couldn't help but softly call out, "Big Brother Xiao."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi didn't look up.
"Big Brother Xiao, you're so good to me. Can I hug you?" Xiaoyue's voice was so gentle that it seemed to drip with sweetness.
Xiao Yi was stunned. He saw that Xiaoyue had sat up wrapped in the quilt, slowly inserted her arm under Xiao Yi's armpit, and pressed her body, which exuded an alluring fragrance, against Xiao Yi's.
A jade-like back, and under the cover of the thin quilt, it loomed, exuding an extreme charm.
Xiao Yi felt his head go blank. He quickly closed his eyes, gently patted Xiaoyue's shoulder, and said, "Xiaoyue, your foot is already better. Go to sleep."
Xiaoyue's body trembled. She had thought that something would definitely happen in this situation, but nothing did.
With a bit of disappointment, Xiaoyue got back into her quilt. As she closed her eyes, she pulled Xiao Yi's arm over and pressed it against her chest and against her face.
Although there was a thin quilt in between, Xiao Yi could still feel the alluring softness.
Taking a deep breath, he maintained this posture until Xiaoyue let out even breaths. Then Xiao Yi slowly pulled out his arm, covered her with the quilt properly, and left the room.
However, what Xiao Yi didn't know was that the moment he closed the door, Xiaoyue opened her eyes. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she pouted.
"Why?" Xiaoyue didn't understand why Xiao Yi would abide by the etiquette and not cross the line. "Dad, you said that if you like someone, you should go after them. But how exactly should I pursue him?"
Xiaoyue tapped her red lips with her fingertips and couldn't help but stay awake.
The next morning, Xiaoyue came to the kitchen early and prepared breakfast for Xiao Yi. However, she had stayed up all night, and there were some dark circles under her eyes.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyue? Didn't you sleep well?" Xiao Yi sat at the dining table and immediately noticed the dark circles under Xiaoyue's eyes.
"No, I'm fine," Xiaoyue quickly blushed and turned around, still not admitting it.
"Have you used the Jade Muscle Ointment I gave you?" Xiao Yi asked seemingly casually.
"Not yet. I'm not used to using cosmetics in summer. I'll use it when it gets cooler," Xiaoyue said with a smile.
"Alright. Natural beauty needs no adornment," Xiao Yi nodded and smiled.
Xiaoyue wrinkled her little nose, sat opposite Xiao Yi, and said, "We're officially on summer vacation now. Today, I'm going to participate in that activity with my classmates again. If it's too late at night, I'll stay at my classmate's house. You'll have to take care of your own lunch and dinner."
"Okay," Xiao Yi didn't say much. Instead, he took out the jade pendant from his pocket, gave it to Xiaoyue, and said, "This is for you."
"Wow!" Xiaoyue took it up in surprise, put it around her neck eagerly, and stroked it with her hand happily, saying, "Thank you, Big Brother Xiao."
"Hehe, I hope you don't think it's too crude," Xiao Yi said with a smile as he watched the green jade pendant around the girl's neck, which made Xiaoyue even more beautiful.
Xiaoyue said earnestly, "How could I? What Big Brother Xiao gives me is the best."
The little girl had breakfast in a hurry and went out excitedly.
