Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 48 Did I hurt you?
Xin Yuan quietly watched the two people not far away.

Wen Li was held in Zhu Yan's arms, and the two were very close.

The scene in the distance was beautiful and harmonious, and suddenly, an indescribable emotion surged up, almost overwhelming him.

Xin Yuan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

The three looked at each other, and in the end, Wen Li was the one who greeted them first.

“Xin Yuan…”

After calling out her name, Zhu Yan carried her back to the cave.

As Zhu Yan lifted the curtain, a faint fragrance wafted into her nostrils.

Wen Li's cave was kept spotless by her, and it had a unique fragrance that belonged to her.

Zhu Yan suddenly felt uncomfortable, and her walking became stiff.

Wen Li said, "Just put me on the bed."

"Okay," Zhu Yan replied, gently placing Wen Li on the bed.

However, Wen Li's feet were still dirty.

The sprained foot had just stepped into a mud pit and was covered in yellow mud.

Wen Li couldn't just rest like this.

Zhu Yan noticed her hesitation and offered, "I'll go get you some water."

Wen Li looked at him in surprise.

How come I didn't know Zhu Yan was so perceptive?
After saying that, Zhu Yan did not linger in the cave any longer.

Wen Li was the only one left in the cave.

Wen Li took a deep breath and collapsed onto the stone bed.

Outside, Zhu Yan went to fetch water for Wen Li.

He went back to his room to get a wooden basin. Xin Yuan saw him doing this and asked curiously, "Brother, where are you going?"

It was raining outside, and quite heavily. Xin Yuan wondered what Zhu Yan was going to do with the wooden basin.

Zhu Yan explained, "I'm going to fetch some water for Wen Li."

Xin Yuan was taken aback: "What happened to Wen Li? Why... why did you suddenly bring her back today?"

Xin Yuan still cared.

Although he was happy to see their relationship improve, he felt the pace was a bit too fast.

Xin Yuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Zhu Yan explained, "She twisted her ankle on the way back."

"Hmm?" Xin Yuan stood up abruptly. "I'll go take a look."

Before Zhu Yan could react, Xin Yuan had already rushed out of the cave.

Zhu Yan frowned slightly as she watched Xin Yuan's disappearing figure before picking up the basin to fetch water.

Zhu Yan drew a basin of water from the well and carried it to Wen Li's cave.

Lifting the curtain, she saw Xin Yuan sitting next to Wen Li, the two of them talking.

Zhu Yan tightened his grip on the wooden basin, but his face remained expressionless.

"Wen Li".

He spoke, and both of them looked over.

Wen Li looked at Zhu Yan, "You've arrived."

Zhu Yan nodded, then placed the wooden basin filled with water at Wen Li's feet. "The water is ready."

"Thank you," Wen Li said.

However, Zhu Yan did not leave immediately after putting down the wooden basin.

He half-squatted down and looked up at Wen Li.

"Shall I wash you?"

Wen Li thought she had misheard.

"Huh? What did you say?" Wen Li asked in disbelief.

Xin Yuan, standing beside Zhu Yan, also stared at him in astonishment.

Is Zhu Yan possessed by an evil spirit?

This doesn't sound like something he should say at all.

Stared at like that by the two of them, Zhu Yan's ears turned red, and she said angrily, "Forget it!"

"Hmm... let's forget about it." Wen Li chuckled dryly.

No need, really no need, how could she dare?

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Zhu Yan is being far too attentive.

He was so enthusiastic that Wen Li dared not accept it.

Zhu Yan pursed her lips. "Oh, then I'll be going now."

Zhu Yan is gone.

It looks like she's angry, but it doesn't.

Wen Li was too lazy to figure out his thoughts; Zhu Yan's attitude towards her today was like a rollercoaster ride.

"That's strange," Wen Li thought to herself. Seeing Zhu Yan leave her cave, Wen Li actually felt a sense of relief.

She bent down to wash her muddy feet clean.

Seeing that she seemed to be having some difficulty, Xin Yuan, who was standing nearby, also spoke up.

"I'll help you?"

Wen Li paused, still looking at Xin Yuan in astonishment.

"Do you need it?" Xin Yuan asked again.

Wen Li felt something was off today; why were these two people both trying to wash her feet?

Is that right?

This is clearly not right!
She didn't react, but Xin Yuan had already bent down and squatted down beside her.

He said, "This isn't convenient for you, is it? Let me help you."

Wen Li subconsciously pulled her feet back.

Xin Yuan noticed her resistance and said, "You're welcome. You've helped me before."

His mention of it made Wen Li feel much more at ease.

She was always worried that she was overthinking things.

"Okay," Wen Li agreed.

Wen Li once made a misunderstanding because she overthought things.

During her student days, a senior student took good care of her, and their relationship was even somewhat ambiguous.

Wen Li once thought that her senior liked her, so she mustered up the courage to confess her feelings.

She eventually learned that the senior student liked her deskmate... The clown experience became a psychological trauma for Wen Li.

From then on, Wen Li kept telling herself not to overthink things.

Wen Li dipped her muddy feet into the basin of water, and Xin Yuan's hand touched her skin.

It's a strange feeling, a little itchy.

Wen Li stiffened, not daring to move.

Xin Yuan noticed her unease and tried to speed up his movements.

He didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to help her. Now, Wen Li seemed very uncomfortable.

With large, gentle hands, he lightly wiped the mud off Wen Li's feet, trying to be as gentle as possible.

Xin Yuan felt quite happy despite it being an act of serving others, and he couldn't understand why.

Xin Yuan carefully cleaned the mud off Wen Li's feet.

The yellow soil was wiped away, revealing fair and slender feet.

However, the ankle was already red and swollen, which was quite obvious.

Xin Yuan gently touched Wen Li's sprained ankle with his fingertips and asked with concern, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Wen Li shook her head, "It's alright."

It doesn't hurt when you just touch it.

But it hurts a lot when I walk.

Xin Yuan didn't dare touch it again. "Should we have the witch doctor come over in a bit?"

"No need," Wen Li shook her head.

She can heal herself, but she has to wait for her powers to return.

It shouldn't be too long.

Xin Yuan glanced at her but didn't say anything more.

The water in the wooden basin had turned completely yellowish-brown.

Xin Yuan picked up the basin and said, "I'll go change your water."

After washing it again, it should be completely clean, so Xin Yuan didn't find it troublesome.

Wen Li smiled at him and said, "Yes, thank you for your help."

Xin Yuan left the cave, and Wen Li sat on the bed, gently shaking her feet, which had been washed almost clean.

The sensation of being touched still lingers on the skin.

Xin Yuan's hands were large and warm, and he could easily grasp her feet.

When you run cool water over the instep and soles of your feet, you feel an indescribable electric current.

This feeling was completely unfamiliar to Wen Li.

Xin Yuan didn't stay out long before he came back in with a basin.

However, he got a little wet from the rain.

Xin Yuan placed the wooden basin next to Wen Li's feet, gesturing for her to put her feet in it.

Wen Li was already quite experienced this time, and she put her foot in the hole.

Xin Yuan's hand quickly reached up and gently touched her skin with the flow of water.

Wen Li subconsciously pursed her lips.

Xin Yuan could always detect her movements through her subtle reactions and looked up at her.

"Did I hurt you?"
