My Feet Really Don't Stink!

"I won't scam you, I won't scam you, I absolutely won't scam you."

Bai Ye immediately promised.

Hu Tao was satisfied.

She flipped over and lay on the bed, resting her chin on her hands as she looked at Bai Ye.

Let him stay a little longer.

"Bai Ye, do you know what other identity I have besides being the Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"

Bai Ye turned his head and met Hu Tao's gaze.

Hearing her question, He scratched his head and said, "I don't know."

"I'm also a poet," Hu Tao narrowed her eyes. "I'm the dark poet of the Alley School, famous throughout Liyue."

Bai Ye chimed in, "Big Qiuqiu is sick, Two Qiuqiu fetch medicine, Three Qiuqiu buy medicine, Four Qiuqiu brew..."

"Right, right, right,"

Hu Tao nodded vigorously.

"I can't believe you've heard of my poetry collection even though you've only been in Liyue for less than two months."

"Well..." Bai Ye gently scratched his temple. "I had actually heard of your poems before I came to Liyue."

"Really?"

Hu Tao asked in surprise.

"That's right."

In his past life, playing the game, he was indeed very familiar with Hu Tao's poetry.

Hu Tao proudly lifted her legs and happily swung them.

She continued, "Come, I'll tell you, my other poems are also very good. Come, I'll read them to you..."

"Mhm,"

Bai Ye was also very curious.

"Ahem..." Hu Tao cleared her throat and began reciting her poems.

"One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to find clients..."

Bai Ye listened with great interest.

It wasn't that the content was particularly interesting, It was just that Hu Tao was the one speaking, So it wouldn't be boring.

Seeing the expression on Bai Ye's face, Hu Tao happily continued.

Moreover, after finishing, she told Bai Ye about interesting things that happened when she was writing her poems.

After talking for a while, she felt a bit tired.

She flipped over and lay on the bed, tilting her head to ask Bai Ye, "Hey, I've been talking the whole time, now it's your turn to tell me about your adventures in Liyue."

"Me? For the past two months in Liyue, I've been dealing with Treasure Hoarders."

"Then tell me how you dealt with them."

"There's nothing much to say... Alright, if you don't find it boring."

Seeing Hu Tao's expectant expression, Bai Ye spoke to her.

"I still remember the first time I dealt with Treasure Hoarders. It was a small group. I wasn't sure of my strength yet, so for safety, I shot hundreds of crossbow bolts at each Treasure Hoarder..."

Hu Tao continued to listen.

However, as she listened, she noticed that Bai Ye's words were becoming more and more slurred, Upon closer inspection of Bai Ye, The guy was almost asleep.

"Later... later..."

Bai Ye mumbled sleepily.

"This guy, why is he so lazy..."

Hu Tao couldn't help but complain.

However, by the end, she also felt sleepy.

Using the last bit of her consciousness, she grabbed the blanket and covered both herself and Bai Ye.

Don't catch a cold.

As she drifted off to sleep, Hu Tao unconsciously snuggled closer to Bai Ye.

Such a pleasant scent, It smells so good.

Bai Ye was woken up in the morning by a suffocating sensation.

What in the world was going on?

He opened his eyes, Only to see a pair of small feet clad in white socks pressing down on his chest. The soles of her feet were curved, forming a perfect arc.

Glancing sideways, he saw Hu Tao about to roll over.

Seeing her feet about to reach his mouth, Bai Ye quickly swatted them away.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Stirred by the swat, Hu Tao groggily woke up.

She opened her eyes and looked at Bai Ye.

"If I didn't wake you up, your feet would have ended up in my mouth."

"Oh."

Hu Tao retracted her feet.

She rubbed her face, Then sat up cross-legged.

She stretched languidly.

And yawned.

Then she looked at Bai Ye and asked:

"What were you saying just now?"

"You almost put your feet in my mouth."

Bai Ye sat up and said to Hu Tao.

"Really?" Hu Tao looked down at her own small feet.

She then said nonchalantly:

"Well, I was sleeping so soundly."

"Good grief, thank goodness you woke up, or I would have tasted like a dried salted fish."

Tasted like a dried salted fish?

Hu Tao was confused at first when Bai Ye said that.

But she quickly understood.

"Oh, so you're saying my feet stink?"

"How is that possible? While I might not smell as good as you, I definitely don't stink!"

Hu Tao immediately picked up her feet and started sniffing them. After smelling one, she hesitantly sniffed the other. That wasn't all; she even deliberately took off her socks, revealing a pair of tender, pink little feet, and sniffed them again.

There was no smell at all!

"They don't stink, not at all."

She declared loudly to Bai Ye.

"Then perhaps you just can't smell your own odor."

Bai Ye knew there was no smell, of course. He just wanted to 'get back' at her for almost putting her feet in his mouth that morning.

He never kept score when seeking revenge.

"No, there isn't."

"If I say there is, then there is."

After a few back-and-forth arguments, Hu Tao simply extended her feet towards Bai Ye, "Here, smell them! They don't stink at all!"

"No way!"

Bai Ye immediately dodged.

"Then don't slander me!"

Hu Tao stood up and grabbed Bai Ye.

"You rascal,"

"I'm going to pin you down today and make you really smell it."

The two continued to wrestle.

Just then, A knock came from the door again.

"Director, I have some business at Wangshu Inn today. The owner, Fei, said you were still here, so I came specifically to see you."

Zhongli said to the two of them.

Bai Ye stopped moving.

Hu Tao, however, hadn't heard clearly. Seeing Bai Ye stop, she immediately pinned him down.

"Hmph hmph, caught you, little thief?"

Hu Tao said triumphantly.

Zhongli, listening from outside, was a bit confused.

He reached out and pushed.

The guest room door wasn't even closed, and Zhongli walked right in.

Then, He saw Hu Tao pinning Bai Ye down.

Without a word, Zhongli took two steps back and closed the door.

Bai Ye and Hu Tao looked at each other.

Their faces visibly turned red.

"It's your fault. If you hadn't said my feet smelled, this wouldn't have happened,"

Hu Tao said to Bai Ye.

"If you hadn't wrestled with me, this wouldn't have happened either,"

Bai Ye immediately retorted.

"Hmph!"

The two turned their heads and huffed simultaneously.

Then they stood up, tidied their clothes. Bai Ye put on his boots, and Hu Tao put on her socks before her shoes.

Next, They turned around in unison.

Seeing the other person also turn their head back.

They burst into laughter.

Hu Tao pushed Bai Ye out the door.

"Let's go, hurry and explain to Zhongli, lest he misunderstand."

"Mhm, mhm."

Bai Ye nodded quickly.

Reaching the doorway, Hu Tao whispered to Bai Ye again, "My feet really don't smell."

"Yeah, they really don't."

"Hmph, that's the first sensible thing you've said."
