"Master?"
Just as Ye Liuyun was sighing to himself, thinking maybe he was getting a bit carried away.
Xing'Er, standing to the side, suddenly lowered her voice and spoke.
"I didn't mean to hide anything from you, Master."
The tone was obviously worried that Ye Liuyun might blame her for not telling him in advance.
That anxious little expression made Ye Liuyun burst out laughing.
He flicked Xing'Er's forehead with his finger.
"All right, I'm not that petty. Go tell someone to boil water, I want to bathe before turning in!"
"I'll go right away, Master!"
Seeing that Ye Liuyun truly didn't mean to blame her, Xing'Er instantly smiled, cheerfully answered, and quickly went off to get the water ready for Ye Liuyun's bath.
...
During the bath.
Xing'Er still stood by his side, massaging Ye Liuyun's shoulders.
"Master, Madam she..."
Xing'Er's face shifted for a good while, hesitating again and again, inner resolve warring with uncertainty.
