Chapter 119
Huo Yusen nodded. “Auntie Liu, please warm up Wu’s boots by the heater,” he said to the housekeeper standing nearby.
Auntie Liu hurried over and took Huo Wu’s boots. Even this long-time employee who had been with the family for over two decades was shocked by Huo Yusen’s actions.
She had watched him grow from an innocent little toddler into the dashing young man that he was today. The housekeeper always knew he was extremely capable, but she had never witnessed his caring side. Seeing him take care of a girl now – even if that girl was his own sister – felt like a massive breakthrough.
As incredible as this all seemed, Auntie Liu couldn’t help but see it as a good sign that Young Master Huo had finally gained some humanity. Not too long ago, she was still worrying about his extreme coldness. Now her mind was somewhat at ease.
“Don’t worry, miss. These boots will dry in no time.” She smiled brightly at Huo Wu as she took the boots away.
But honestly, Huo Wu couldn’t care less about whether her boots will dry. Her attention was now entirely on the fact that Huo Yusen was warming her feet. In her two lifetimes, she had never been so close to someone before. This closeness was only a tiny step away from physical intimacy.
In fact, this was a sort of “physical intimacy” so to speak. Her feet were tiny and almost covered by his large hands. And she could feel the warmth radiating from his palms. It felt cozy and comforting.
She also noticed the contrast in their skin tones: she had a fair complexion, whereas he had a light tan. But despite the obvious difference, there was a sense of harmony, almost as if they were a natural fit for each other.
A playful thought suddenly crossed Huo Wu’s mind. With a slight movement of her foot, she slid her big toe across his palm. Huo Yusen noticed this and looked up. “Stop that.”
These two simple words stopped Huo Wu dead in her tracks. Stop what? I wasn’t doing anything. I was only kidding around. She felt her body crumbling, and her heart pounded furiously in her chest as if it would jump out from her throat the next second.
At first, she merely felt cold. Once her feet were warmed up, she felt a surge of relief and nothing more. But now that she wasn’t cold anymore, she started to notice a tickling sensation in the soles of her feet.
Huo Wu was extremely ticklish. Even though Huo Yusen wasn’t even tickling her, she still couldn’t help but laugh. She laughed so hard that she fell sideways into his arms.
Raising her head, she could see his face up close. His lashes were long and curly. She felt sure that, in her two lifetimes, she had never seen anyone with such pretty eyes and such pretty eyelashes.
Sensing that her feet were now dry, Huo Yusen finally removed his hands. He then grabbed a packet of wet tissues from the coffee table and wiped his hands.
His actions were careful and unhurried. To Huo Wu, his every movement was so incredibly attractive. She didn’t even feel mad at him for wiping after touching her feet. In fact, she knew that her brother was a bit of a germaphobe, but he still used his hands to warm her feet despite this.
Also, the fact that he only used wet tissues to wipe his hands instead of washing with disinfectant said a lot.
As Huo Yusen was wiping, Chu Xueyi looked on enviously. “Your brother is so good to you.”
Chu Xueyi felt somewhat jealous that he wasn’t her brother instead. After witnessing his caring gesture, she suddenly had the crazy idea that, rather than being his girlfriend, maybe it’s just as nice to be his sister. At least he’s more patient and attentive towards his sister than any other woman.
But then again, if this is how he treats his sister, imagine what kind of things he would do for his girlfriend? She would probably be the luckiest woman in the world!
At this thought, Chu Xueyi concluded that it’s still better to be his girlfriend. After all, many things were off-limits in a sibling relationship, but not in a romantic one.
In response to Chu Xueyi’s remark, Huo Wu’s face turned red as a beet. “Yup, my brother is the best.”
He’s so good that no-one else in the world can possibly compare.
