One had to admit, Xiaorou's feet were truly lovely. They were small and exquisite, perfectly proportioned, neither too plump nor too thin, with round, pearl-like toes.
When Xiaorou saw Liu Ergou staring intently at her feet, the blush that had just faded from her face reappeared, this time spreading all the way down her neck.
"Brother Ergou… c-can you stop looking?" Xiaorou asked, her voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.
Her words snapped Liu Ergou back to his senses, and he reluctantly let go of her foot. "All right, Xiaorou, your foot is fine now. Just avoid any heavy work for a week and you'll be good as new. You should head home."
"I still have to go to town to sell these herbs."
With that, Liu Ergou helped Xiaorou to her feet, preparing to leave. Once standing, Xiaorou tentatively tested her ankle. To her utter astonishment, the pain was completely gone. Her jaw dropped.
