Chapter 1597: Chapter 1594: Showing Affection

Quickly walked in and placed the essential oil for drying hair, comb, and other items aside: “Master, these things are on the side. If you need anything else, call for the servant girl.”

Chu Heng responded with a hum, satisfied with her actions.

Su Mei prepared to leave.

But she was stopped by Ye Muyu. As if just realizing something, she hurriedly said, “Su Mei, please help me dry my hair. Ah Heng is recovering from an injury, and I fear it might be inconvenient for him.”

“Huh?” Su Mei hesitated uncharacteristically for a moment and instinctively looked at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng’s deep brown eyes and sword-like eyebrows imparted a cold demeanor. Yet, as he attentively cared for someone, there was a touch of gentleness.

“Actually, my injury isn’t severe.” Chu Heng gently touched her ear with his fingers, speaking in a warm tone.

Ye Muyu immediately took the cloth towel from his hand, and Su Mei quickly took over.

“Don’t be stubborn. I’ll believe your injury isn’t severe when Lu Sangqi says so.” Ye Muyu said as she casually found a stool to sit beside him. Su Mei dared not look at Chu Heng’s expression, quietly acting as a tool for drying hair, minimizing her presence.

Chu Heng’s eyes clearly showed helplessness.

Su Mei thought the master might insist, after all, he truly loves the lady and probably wouldn’t pass up the chance to help her dry her hair.

Chu Heng said indulgently, “Alright, I’ll help you dry your hair when I recover.”

“Mm-hmm.” Chu Heng’s compliance pleased Ye Muyu. She was genuinely worried about his injury, frequently asking questions.

Ye Muyu: “Does your wound hurt?”

Chu Heng: “It’s fine.”

Ye Muyu: “Let me see if your bandage is bleeding?”

Chu Heng caught her hand, gently rubbing it: “A bit, but it’s better than yesterday.”

Ye Muyu: “Does your wound feel itchy? If it itches, it might be about to scab over.”

Chu Heng smiled: “Not yet, but my body is strong and will recover quickly.”

Ye Muyu: “Lu Sangqi will come tomorrow to examine you. Remember to cooperate.”

Chu Heng remained patient, occasionally checking if her hair was dry: “Alright.”

Chu Heng wasn’t annoyed, even with repetitive topics, he answered seriously.

Su Mei walked out of the room with two wet cloth towels. Her stern expression instantly turned into an aunt-like smile.

“Sister Su Mei, you’re smiling!” Chun Xing was carrying the Young Master’s supper and, seeing this scene, curiously peeked behind her: “Sister Su Mei, tell me, what’s making you so happy that you’re smiling like that.”

Su Mei cleared her throat, quickly restraining her smile: “It’s nothing, just that the master and lady are so affectionate that I couldn’t help but smile while watching.”

“Hehe, Sister Su Mei, did you see…”

Su Mei covered her mouth with one hand: “Don’t speak nonsense. I’m going to urge the kitchen to prepare the meal; you take good care of the Young Master.”

“Oh, hehe.” Chun Xing giggled, winking at her knowingly.

Su Mei tapped her on the head: “Don’t talk too much, and especially don’t gossip about the master and lady, understood?”

Chun Xing shrank her neck, murmuring warmly: “Sister Su Mei, don’t worry, I’m aware. Seeing the lady happy makes me happy too, and I wouldn’t dare to say much else, even about the master holding the lady’s hand when returning home.”

Su Mei saw her innocent eyes, paused for a moment, realizing she was overthinking. Initially, she thought this girl would say something more suggestive.
