As she got into the carriage, Xiqiu felt that the carriage was warmer than usual. She was quietly puzzled when a blanket fell onto her knees, and Fourth Master Xiao sat down beside her, placing a hand on her knee and asking gravely, "Didn't we agree? Is it still painful?"
Xiqiu was taken aback, only then understanding why the carriage was suddenly much warmer and why he gave her a blanket.
She smiled at Fourth Master Xiao and replied, "It doesn't hurt usually; it's only when I stand for a long time or walk too much that it aches a bit. It's no big deal anymore."
Fourth Master Xiao remembered asking her once before, and she had said the same thing back then…
"You should rest in the room when you're free. You can entrust someone to inform me about the things in the mansion, and I'll come over. That's enough." As he spoke, his fingers gently pressed on Xiqiu's knee, somewhat unskillfully massaging it.
