Yan Renzhong pulled a chair and sat down facing Shen Jingwei.
He stared at the basin of warm water with such longing eyes that Shen Jingwei just had to ask.
"Uh," Shen Jingwei cleared his throat. "Would you like to soak your feet as well?"
"Yes."
Yan Renzhong needed not be asked twice. He put his feet into the water basin as well, almost causing the water to overflow from the edge.
A contented sigh escaped his lips as he too savored the soothing sensation.
"Oh, that was good."
Despite its size, the basin barely accommodated both pairs of feet. Shen Jingwei tried to create more space by sliding back against the wall, but his efforts were futile as his feet slid forward and bumped into Yan Renzhong's feet.
"..."
They locked gazes only to look away after a mere second.
"Do your feet hurt very much?" Yan Renzhong asked.
Shen Jingwei chuckled softly.
