Scattered specks of light filtered through the gauzy curtains, spilling onto the wooden floor.
Bai Huizi sat upright on the bed, swinging her ankles.
Her delicate hand clutched the bedsheet tightly by her side, while the other gripped the Whip in her palm, making her seem especially tense.
The pale pink Nail Polish shimmered with a pearly luster in the morning light.
Her round toes nimbly pinched a piece of Little Fish Snacks, hovering in midair like a ballerina holding a paintbrush. Even as oil slicked her plump, fair toes, she paid it no mind.
Su Li could feel the burning heat in Bai Huizi’s gaze. Meeting her anticipation, Su Li slowly ate the Little Fish Snacks.
Compared to the time she helped Jin Ke’er clean her toes, eating a single piece of Little Fish Snacks was nothing at all.
Besides, among her clients, Bai Huizi had long become as distinguished a guest as Jin Ke’er once was.
As long as she could satisfy Bai Huizi, she could earn even more rewards.
Even helping her wash her feet was nothing worth mentioning.
As Bai Huizi’s feet drew nearer, a faint fragrance wafted over. It seemed Bai Huizi always cared for her feet and was skilled at maintaining them.
Her curled toes looked like five lychee segments wrapped in sugar, tinged with the translucent pink-orange unique to a newborn’s fingertips.
At the bend of her ankle, skin as thin as cicada wings revealed faint blue veins that trembled gently with her pulse, like tadpoles swimming in a spring stream.
Her bare arches arched ever so slightly, revealing the graceful curve of a magnolia bud about to bloom.
The oval-shaped nails gleamed with the luster of mother-of-pearl, the transition between edge and nail bed softer than drifting clouds.
As her bare feet stepped onto the floor, a warm scent of fresh cream and honey drifted from the delicate shadows of her soles, like the gentle warmth rising from a baby’s swaddling blanket.
Her heels were as round as pebbles polished by a thousand years of stream water, and between her toes glowed the warm luster of mutton-fat jade.
Even the tiniest creases seemed smoothed by a spring breeze.
From an aesthetic perspective, Bai Huizi’s feet were perfect.
So even cleaning her feet wasn’t troublesome for Su Li at all.
Su Li gently cupped Bai Huizi’s feet, sensing the faint tremble of her body, but quickly suppressed her own desires.
Bai Huizi had originally wanted to tease Su Li, but now her cheeks were flushed, her eyes misted at the corners, as she watched Su Li carefully clean the oil from her toes, struggling to restrain her inner longing.
She tried to lift the hand holding the Whip, but in the end, she lowered it and gripped the Whip even tighter.
Clearly, she was supposed to be the master, yet Su Li’s reversal left her unable to intervene, so she could only let Su Li play with her feet.
Just think of it as a little reward for her pet!
After a long while, Su Li finally placed her feet gently back on the floor. Bai Huizi gasped for breath, taking a long time to calm her racing heart.
“All right, that’s enough for today.”
She suddenly spoke, her tone returning to its usual gentleness. “Go take a shower, don’t catch a chill.”
Even after Su Li got up and disappeared from sight, Bai Huizi still hadn’t recovered. She patted her chest, the blush on her cheeks lingering for a long time.
She hadn’t expected Su Li to help clean the oil between her toes in the end.
“Damn, I should have ordered her to do that.”
Bai Huizi muttered softly, and only then did she realize the bed beneath her was already soaked. A sly smile curled at her lips.
Su Li’s scent still lingered on the bed, and the fact that she had dirtied the bed where Su Li slept brought her a kind of vengeful delight.
“Just a little lesson for a pet who doesn’t listen to her master.”
Bai Huizi murmured softly, hugging Su Li’s pillow. Feeling the lingering scent, she swallowed unconsciously.
Then she hugged it tightly to her chest.
It didn’t take long for her to soak Su Li’s pillow with her own sweat.
Thinking that Su Li would have to sleep with her pillow carrying Bai Huizi’s scent tonight, a strange pleasure welled up in Bai Huizi’s heart.
……
When Su Li came out of the bathroom, she found Bai Huizi lying on her bed, perhaps having fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Seeing her account balance had increased by 110,000 yuan, she dismissed the idea of waking Bai Huizi.
After feeding the Cat in the living room, Su Li noticed Big Thunder had already bonded with the Stray Cat she’d brought home, and they were now eating Cat food together from their bowls.
The Cats were all very well-behaved. Sensing Su Li’s presence, Big Thunder even came to her feet and rubbed its head against the corner where Su Li stood.
The other Cats were not to be outdone, also rubbing their heads against her feet.
After spending some time playing with the Cats and sharing her attention equally, Su Li slowly made her way to the kitchen to cook.
She had bought the groceries on her way home after completing her transaction with MOKA.
Compared to takeout, she still preferred cooking for herself.
Of course, it was about enjoying the process.
Even if she felt nothing, no matter what she ate, there was no emotional ripple.
But Su Li still liked to keep herself busy—like cooking, or raising Cats.
It wasn’t just a sense of ritual. In fact, it made her feel alive.
Su Li only made three dishes: braised pork, steamed fish, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
She wasn’t sure if Bai Huizi would eat dinner here tonight, but it didn’t matter whether she stayed or not.
If there were leftovers, she could let the Cats eat them, or save them for breakfast the next morning.
After she had fully adapted to life here, whatever she ate, the Cats would be able to eat too.
The little ones used to love her cooking.
When Su Li brought the dishes to the table, she even noticed a few Cats looking longingly at the table.
Big Thunder’s sapphire-like eyes were also filled with curiosity.
It wasn’t long before the “creak” of the door sounded, and the door to Su Li’s room opened.
Bai Huizi stretched lazily, not caring at all about the sudden exposure of her chest.
Noticing the food set out on Su Li’s table, her face lit up with delight.
“Little Su Li, did you make this for your big sister?”
“No.”
Su Li replied calmly.
“VFB credited, one thousand yuan.”
“Sister Bai, dinner’s ready. Luckily you woke up in time. Otherwise, the food I made for you would have gotten cold.”
Su Li immediately showed a gentle smile, went over to Bai Huizi, took her hand, and, seeing the teasing smile at the corner of her lips, helped her sit down at the table.
