Immediately, the smile on Fang Yichu's face stiffened. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a sad tone. "You don't have to remind me that I'm a cripple. Are you taking revenge on me now? Do you still think I'm abusing you?"
Lu Youyou stood up and stared at him. "You don't have to change the topic! I just want to see your shoes now!"
Fang Yichu fell silent as he squinted at her.
There was an invisible pressure.
However, Lu Youyou has to confirm what she discovered! Seeing that he did not move, she mustered her courage and walked towards him. "Since you're unwilling, I'll help you take it off myself!"
Hearing this, Fang Yichu suddenly raised his chin and leaned lazily against the back of the chair. He seemed to be in a good mood and waited quietly for her to come over.
Lu Youyou's ears turned red when she saw that he was waiting for her to make a move. When she finally walked up to him, her face was as red as a ripe apple.
More than that, she didn't know how desirable she looked then.
"Don't move. I'm going to take off your shoes now." Lu Youyou was about to bend down when a big hand pulled her into an embrace.
By the time Lu Youyou realized what was going on, she was in Fang Yichu's lap. At that moment, his head was close to her neck. "You smell so good," he said hoarsely.
"Ah, you pervert!" Lu Youyou had never been teased by a man like this before! She was so frightened that she screamed and jumped out of his arms. She turned around and ran!
Fang Yichu sighed helplessly as he watched her flee. His gaze flicked to the footprints and he smiled weakly. Then he opened the bottom drawer and changed his shoes.
However, Lu Youyou rushed back not long after and glared at him. "You did it on purpose just now! You scared me away to wipe off the footprints!"
Fang Yichu looked at her innocently. "See for yourself. The footprints are still there."
Lu Youyou did not believe him. She turned around and saw that it was really there! She gritted her teeth and went all out. She stepped forward and hugged Fang Yichu's thighs. She warned him fiercely. "Don't move!"
But Fang Yichu winced. Her body was so soft, just like how it was a year ago when they were underwater.
Lu Youyou took his shoe and climbed out from under the table with a smile as she compared it to the footprint.
Fang Yichu remained silent throughout.
In the end, he saw Lu Youyou's initial excitement turn into shock, disappointment, and then pity. "It's really not your footprints."
Her soft words made his heart ache. Fang Yichu wanted to do something for her right now, but in the end, he sat where he was in silence. "I told you, it wasn't mine. You didn't believe me."
Lu Youyou stood up apologetically. "I'm sorry." She helped him put on his shoes again and said awkwardly. "I'll call you when dinner's ready."
"Okay." Fang Yichu nodded.
"In the future, when Gu Fan and the others are not at home, I'll push you down," Lu Youyou said.
"Okay." Fang Yichu nodded again.
When Lu Youyou turned to leave, she kept her head down. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back at him. "I'm really sorry." She looked at him with a mixture of guilt and regret.
He was so good-looking. How good would it be if he could stand up? Lu Youyou really hoped that her willfulness did not hurt him.
Fang Yichu gave her a long look and sighed. "It's okay."
Lu Youyou walked downstairs, feeling a little discouraged. She had no friends here, and no one to talk to. As she walked, she saw Zhang Qingru, who was preparing dinner with her full attention.
Seeing that she was disappointed, Zhang Qingru couldn't help but laugh. "I knew it. The Fourth Young Master never eats desserts. He won't eat it, right?"
Lu Youyou shook her head. She turned around and sat on the sofa, her voice muffled. "Sister Qingru, I got into trouble!"
Zhang Qingru smiled. "It's alright. The Fourth Young Master won't hold it against you."
Lu Youyou added, "I saw a footprint upstairs just now, so I insisted that it was his and took off his shoes to compare!"
Zhang Qingru's hand trembled as she held the bowl and walked out in a panic. She looked at Lu Youyou's depressed expression and asked carefully. "Then?"
Lu Youyou was on the verge of tears. She blamed herself. "What can there be? It's definitely not his."
Zhang Qingru heaved a long sigh of relief! She poured a glass of fruit and vegetable juice for Lu Youyou. "It's fine. The Fourth Young Master grew up with mockery from others. He's already used to it."
Hearing this, Lu Youyou couldn't help but cry.
