Ten minutes later.
As the private room door opened, Gan Yan Yu walked in with her hair down, dressed in a bathrobe.
Lin Tian's eyes immediately went wide.
If Gan Yan Yu usually gave off a feeling that was seventy percent elegance and thirty percent cute,
then right now, her cuteness had reached ninety percent.
Her petite body was wrapped in an oversized, loose bathrobe, making her look tiny as she stood there.
Beneath her shorts, her pair of lonely, snow-white legs looked almost unsteady.
Perhaps because it was her first time, Gan Yan Yu seemed very shy, and all her movements had become much smaller.
When the technician told her to walk, she walked. When she told her to sit on the sofa, she obediently took off her shoes and climbed onto it.
It was a little impolite.
But that obedient look, paired with that outfit...
If she were someone else, if she weren't Gan Yan Yu,
wouldn't she be the perfect white moonlight?
The white moonlight of a foot bath parlor.
The kind who massaged your feet and gently told you, "Big brother, don't come again next time. It isn't easy for you to make money either, so save it properly. If you really miss me, just order the cheapest package when the time comes, and I'll still take care of you like normal. Marry a good wife. Don't find someone like me."
Ah, what a pity she was Gan Yan Yu. Her temperament made it impossible to think of her that way.
"Try it. Is the water temperature okay?"
The female technician filled the basin and asked.
Already furious, she just wanted to finish the job quickly, preferably without saying another word.
She had figured it out. Her customer was the girl in front of her.
If Lin Tian spoke to her, she wouldn't answer a single word!
But what she feared was that this unknown high school girl would pull something big too. No matter how she looked at it, neither of them seemed like normal high school students.
What respectable high school student came to get their feet washed?
Gan Yan Yu carefully stretched out her foot and lowered it into the water.
The instant it touched the surface, she quickly pulled it back.
"It's a little hot."
"Then I'll add some cold water."
The technician turned on the cold-water outlet and let in a stream of cold water.
"How about now?"
"It's still hot."
The technician added another stream.
"Try again?"
"It's still a little hot."
"..." The technician was speechless.
The water she usually prepared for customers had never been cooler than this.
Besides, foot baths were more comfortable when the water was hotter.
Were there really feet this delicate in the world??
Could this girl really have been brought here by that boy to pick a fight with her?!
The more the technician thought about it, the angrier she became.
What, was she trying to prove the worth of being a female high school student this way?
Who hadn't been eighteen before? What was she pretending for?
"Sorry, I'm really sorry."
Gan Yan Yu spoke softly.
"I rarely soak my feet in water this hot."
One gentle apology.
In an instant, it struck the technician right in the heart.
Sometimes, all it took to go from extreme anger to calmness was a sincere apology.
It was that simple.
Looking at the embarrassed expression on the angelic face of the girl before her,
the technician's anger was extinguished in an instant.
No customer had ever acted like this before.
"It's fine, it's fine. I'll add some more cold water."
The technician immediately felt a little embarrassed.
At the end of the day, she was only an eighteen-year-old kid.
She had been taking things too seriously.
After letting in cold water for a while longer, the temperature finally reached a level Gan Yan Yu could accept.
"Thank you," Gan Yan Yu said with her head lowered.
Another bombshell!
Not just "thanks," but "thank you."
Just one extra word, yet it warmed the technician's heart all over again.
"You're welcome. It's what I should do."
The technician was moved.
What an understanding girl!
The moment she saw Gan Yan Yu's small, pretty face reveal that bashful side of herself,
even the technician felt her heart soften.
Too cute.
She had to admit, this air of youthful innocence, displayed in a place like this,
was enough for her to learn from for a lifetime!
Even ordinary high school students probably rarely gave off this kind of feeling.
No wonder the boy had brought this girl along. This really had turned into an on-site lesson!
"Lin Tian, why are you sitting so far away?"
Suddenly, Gan Yan Yu couldn't help speaking up.
"Huh?"
Lin Tian, who had been happily watching from afar, was suddenly called out.
Putting on a serious expression, the girl patted the armrest beside her.
"Come sit here."
"Oh."
He had been enjoying the show.
She probably still felt too embarrassed, so she needed him sitting beside her.
Lin Tian had no choice but to get up and sit down beside Gan Yan Yu.
There, a pair of fair, clean little feet soaked in the basin.
They looked like tiny figurines.
They looked delicious.
"What are you thinking about?"
Noticing Lin Tian's gaze, Gan Yan Yu's little face reddened slightly, and she waved her hand in front of him.
I was thinking that this basin of water alone would be enough for me to eat three bowls of rice.
"What shoe size are you?"
"Thirty-five."
Gan Yan Yu knew that for a girl who was 166 centimeters tall, her feet were considered very small.
Other than her family, she had never told anyone else the size of her feet.
Thinking about how her bare feet were exposed in front of Lin Tian,
and how they were even discussing whether her feet were big or small,
Gan Yan Yu felt like her face was about to explode from embarrassment.
Luckily, she could die soon. Ideally, she would die the moment she walked out of the foot bath parlor, so none of these problems could catch up to her.
After her feet had been soaked once, it was time for the foot massage.
Gan Yan Yu rested her foot against the edge of the basin, and the technician reached out and held it.
However, the moment the technician's hand touched Gan Yan Yu,
"Ah!"
The girl cried out and pulled her foot back.
Both the technician and Lin Tian were startled.
"It tickles..."
Gan Yan Yu looked embarrassed.
"It's okay. Take it slowly. Some people's feet are just more sensitive," the technician said with a smile.
Gan Yan Yu slowly straightened her leg.
The technician tried again.
However, the moment she touched the girl's ankle—
"Whoosh!"
Gan Yan Yu suddenly yanked her foot back again.
The technician got anxious.
She grabbed the girl by the ankle.
Smack!
A flying kick struck the technician's arm!
"Damn!"
The technician let go.
"Sorry, I don't think I can do this. No one has ever touched my feet before..."
Gan Yan Yu lowered her eyes, looking somewhat wronged.
She hadn't wanted this either. She had wanted to do it properly.
But her foot seemed to have a mind of its own.
The moment someone touched it, it instinctively pulled back.
She couldn't explain the feeling, but the instant someone's hand touched her, an intense sense of unease swept through her whole body, and she suddenly lost control of herself.
It made everyone feel awkward.
"Then what do we do? Are we still doing this or not?" The technician spread her hands helplessly.
In her six-year career, she had never encountered anything like this.
She had thought only princesses in fairy tales had scenes like this.
Just then, Lin Tian spoke from the side.
"How about I give it a try?"
Just as Lin Tian had said from the beginning.
During the last stretch of Gan Yan Yu's life, he wanted to give her a happy time.
It was just washing her feet. Lin Tian didn't mind putting in a little effort.
Of course, getting to play with a little figurine was an added bonus.
