Chapter 81
Having her door pushed open without any hesitation, Ye Zhenzhen immediately frowned.
"What are you trying to do?"
Seeing this guy holding a basin, the young girl was a bit bewildered and even more in disbelief.
Was this guy really here to wash her feet? Why was he always coming up with these random ideas every day?
She was his older sister, after all!
Men and women shouldn't be so physically close, how could she just let a boy touch her feet?
Even if he was her younger brother, it was still a no!
The moment she thought of that scene, Ye Zhenzhen immediately broke out in goosebumps, freezing in place and not daring to move a single step.
"Can't you tell? I'm here to wash your feet."
Hearing her confusion, Gu Ran set the basin down in front of the bed, then stood up straight, saying this with a completely natural expression.
"W-Why do you want to wash my feet?"
Seeing that this guy really had this intention, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes widened instantly. She unconsciously took two steps back until her whole body was pressed against the door.
"How can I give you a massage without washing your feet first?"
"M-Massage? Why do you need to wash my feet for a massage?! N-No, wait, why are you giving me a massage in the first place?!"
"Didn't we agree on this earlier? Five bucks for an hour of massage. Do you really have the heart to watch me lose my job?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
Wait, how is he actually being serious!
Being pushed into the room in a daze, she slightly curled her toes, feeling a bit overwhelmed, and for a moment she forgot to refuse.
"Who gives a massage without washing feet first? Or are you saying your feet naturally smell good?"
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young girl's small feet, thinking to himself that he could actually accept it even if she didn't wash them.
"W-What are you looking at?!"
Noticing his gaze, Ye Zhenzhen curled her toes again, wishing she could bury her feet into the ground.
"I'm looking to see if your socks are dirty."
Gu Ran answered truthfully, without a hint of deceit.
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
If her socks were dirty?!
Then take a good look!
Biting her lip lightly, the young girl glared at him in embarrassment and anger, then kicked her foot out at him, only for the young man to grab it.
"Y-You let go!"
Gu Ran didn't answer. He reached out and tickled the sole of her foot, causing her body to tremble.
Pulled forward, she was forced to hop on one leg to the edge of the bed.
"I'm starting!"
Saying that, Gu Ran pressed her down to sit on the bed, then forcefully took off the girl's cotton sock and smoothly stuffed it into his own pocket. The whole operation was so flawless that Ye Zhenzhen almost didn't realize what was wrong.
"Why did you stuff my sock into your pocket?!"
Biting her lip lightly, even with one foot caught, she questioned him with undiminished momentum, grasping the aura of an older sister more and more perfectly.
Rolling her beautiful eyes, she glared at him. Gu Ran just blinked, thinking about how to answer while grabbing her other foot.
"It's a free package deal with the massage. I can help wash your socks."
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
"I... I don't need it, give it back to me..."
As her voice fell, she was about to get up to snatch it back, but in a moment of inattention, the sock on her other foot was also pulled off.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran!"
Gritting her teeth lightly, her clear, cold eyes were filled with embarrassment and anger.
Just as she was grinding her little teeth, ready to unleash her ultimate move and bite someone, her toes were squeezed.
"W-What are you doing!"
Glaring at him again in embarrassment and anger, Ye Zhenzhen's face was already covered in a blush.
The fair skin and rosy clouds mixed together, painting an absolutely beautiful picture.
For a moment, Gu Ran looked a bit dazed, unconsciously narrowing his eyes.
"I-Idiot, what are you looking at!"
A ripple appeared in her eyes, misty and swirling.
"Looking at how pretty you are."
Gu Ran still didn't lie, his main trait being honesty.
Faced with his straightforward praise, the young girl instantly lost all her coping strategies.
Blinking her eyes lightly, her long eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly. Forcing down her panic, she said in a soft, sweet voice: "I-Idiot!"
She turned her head, not daring to meet his gaze anymore.
The girl's side profile was frighteningly hot, and her ears were completely red, like a boiled crab.
Seeing this, Gu Ran didn't say anything more.
He reached out and gently grabbed Ye Zhenzhen's feet, slowly placing them into the basin filled with warm water.
Gently holding her slender ankles, he began to carefully massage her rosy toes, as if maintaining a precious piece of art.
"~"
Amidst the slow and methodical rubbing, Ye Zhenzhen pursed her lips, quietly turned her head, and stole a glance at him.
That focused and warm gaze made her heartbeat suddenly speed up, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of shyness welling up in her heart.
Her cheeks also flushed, as if dyed with a bashful blush by the setting sun.
"Y-You let go!"
Ye Zhenzhen's face was bright red, her beautiful eyes darting around. She glared at him in embarrassment and began to struggle, wanting to pull her feet back.
......
……
As time passed, the massage gradually came to an end.
Finally, Gu Ran slowly let go of her slender ankles and gently wiped them clean.
Feeling him stop, Ye Zhenzhen lowered her eyes, a wave of indescribable shyness suddenly welling up in her heart.
Quietly raising her head to look at the young man in front of her, she bit her lip and rolled her eyes at him.
Gu Ran: "???"
Seeing her eye roll, Gu Ran was instantly bewildered.
Good heavens, I give you a massage, and you give me a sideways glare?!
Cracking his knuckles, he prepared to show the ungrateful girl what it meant to ruthlessly destroy a flower.
Seeing his movements, Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes, hurriedly stretched out her small foot, and pressed it firmly against his chest.
Gu Ran: "..."
Is this... a kick that only excites the culprit???

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
