Chapter 201 Celebration
Having a foot bath was healthy and comfortable. If one went to bed after taking a foot bath, one's feet would feel warm.
Nancy sat on the stool properly. She rolled up her pants before she soaked her fair and plump feet in the warm water. She stepped on the back of her brother's feet the moment she put her feet in the water. After that, she beamed happily.
She even swayed her head in a lovely manner.
Adam also sat on the stool. He wanted to put his feet on the back of his brother's feet like Nancy. But before he could do so, he felt an imminent danger.
When he raised his head, he found himself looking into his brother's dull and cold eyes. Swallowing slightly, he pulled his feet back and leaned to the side in an aggrieved manner, putting some distance from his brother's feet.
He thought to himself, "I won't step on your feet. So, what if you've got big feet?"
"Does it burn?"
Nancy's stool was closely against Marcus. She asked him in a tender and soft voice.
Marcus asked, "Does it burn?"
He asked in reply.
"A little bit."
The girl's skin was thin. Before long, her fair feet turned flushed after she put them in the water.
Seeing that, Marcus raised his feet slightly. Consequently, her tender feet that were on his feet came out of the water.
"Tell me if it no longer burns you."
Nancy gave a slight reply obediently. She grabbed a small corner of Marcus's clothes with her slender and fair hand. At the same time, she put the tip of her round and cute toe on the water, trying its temperature. It was just like a dragonfly. That scene appeared slightly naughty and witty too.
Marcus looked at her little fingers which were grasping the corner of his clothes. His gloomy, cold eyes were much softened.
Adam looked at his sister's slightly naughty toes. "Sis, come and step on my feet instead."
Nancy replied, "Sure."
After that, she raised her feet to move toward Adam to step on the back of his feet. However, she was held down by a large hand.
"Stay put or you'll fall."
Marcus sounded calm. He shot a glance at Adam.
"You're too far away."
But Adam was just beside Nancy. He was struck speechless.
He thought to himself, "Bro, when did you become as blind as a bat?"
But he knew very well that it was just an excuse that Marcus gave.
Feeling enraged, Adam was about to say something. However, Marcus threatened him without any expression and in a flat voice.
"I'm the one giving you your pocket money tomorrow."
Adam was at a loss for words.
How could Marcus threaten him with pocket money? Was he such a superficial person?
"Sis, don't move. It's dangerous moving around on the stool."
He did that out of concern for his sister's safety. He did not give in to his brother at all.
"Okay..."
Nancy had a good temper. She was very easy to talk to. Hence, she stopped moving around.
She then soaked her toes in the water again. She felt that the temperature of the water was just nice now.
"It's okay now." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Marcus put his feet down. After that, Nancy's small feet were soaked in the water. She beamed with bright eyes. That pair of beautiful eyes seemed to speak more than words.
As she was having a foot bath, she yawned slightly. Children dozed off easily. She was still pretty energetic previously. But now she started nodding her head.
When Marcus saw that, he supported Nancy's nodding head with his hand. Then Nancy leaned against his palm and dozed off. Half of her face was pressed and flattened.
Marcus was struck speechless.
Wearing no expression, he very seriously pulled that soft head toward himself. Consequently, the tender girl leaned on Marcus along with that strength.
Adam said, "She dozed off so fast."
Marcus then said, "Shut up."
He carried the girl. Adam then immediately picked up the towel at the side to wrap up Nancy's feet. Before long, he wiped her feet clean.
After that, Marcus carried Nancy to her room. He was such a tall and sturdy man, but he very gently put the girl in his arms in bed. He then tucked her in. After ensuring that the temperature was just nice, he softly and quietly left the room.

"Hey! Did you hear? We've got a new student in our class this term."
"Yes, I did. I wonder if it's a girl or a boy."
"When I got to the office, I heard from Miss Yonng that this new student got full marks in all three subjects in the exam. It looks like it's a girl."
"How awesome! Were the questions very easy?"
"It's the exam paper for second graders even if it's simple. Who can score full marks? But I hope that it's a girl. There're very few girls in our class. Plus, they're fierce."
Lessons were about to begin in the first class of second grade. At that time, almost all the students were there. They had just had their winter holiday, and they had a great time. Now they became quite active in the class. A small part of them was talking about the new student of that term.
The bell rang. The class was slightly noisy because the teacher was yet to arrive.
It was not until...
"Ahem..."
It was the sound of the teacher from the door. The originally noisy class soon became quiet. Everyone took a seat.
Miss Yonng walked into the class while carrying a stack of workbooks. Smiling, she waved at the door.
"Nancy, please come in."
Carrying a backpack, Nancy gripped the backpack straps nervously. She then slowly walked into the class under everyone's curious gaze.
She was a fair and chubby girl. She looked as exquisite as the porcelain doll in the showcase. In addition, she seemed so docile just like a bunny. Consequently, people inevitably wanted to protect and adored her because she looked so petite.
When she walked into the class, the whole class was quieter than when the class teacher walked into the class.
She stood at the lectern with the teacher. When she saw so many people staring at her from below, she clenched her fists in slight anxiety. Her bright and large eyes were watery. But her curly eyelashes trembled slightly in restlessness. However, he did not retreat at all. She tried her best to stand straight.
"Let me introduce her to you. She'll be a part of our class from now on. Nancy, please introduce yourself."
"Okay," said Nancy obediently.
"Hello... everyone. I'm Nancy Brook. Please... correct me if I'm wrong from now on."
She practiced a lot of phrases to introduce herself previously. But now she had forgotten all about that out of nervousness.
She thought to herself, "Hmm... I'm so useless."
She became slightly vexed. But she was unaware of something. Many boys in class blushed when they heard her introduce herself in such a childish and tender voice.
She... sounded so nice and tender.
"Miss, please let her sit with me. I've got a seat here."
A boy suddenly stood up. He kicked away his best buddy beside him and shouted at the fair and soft girl standing at the lectern, looking at her with gleaming eyes.
His best buddy who was kicked away was struck speechless and helpless.
Damn!
The other people in the class soon broke into a roar of laughter when they saw that.
That kind of laughter gradually eased Nancy's anxiety. Her pretty eyes were soon full of smiles.
When that boy saw Nancy's smile, he scratched his head shyly and smiled in a silly manner.
"Miss, I've really got a vacant seat here!"
Another student also did what the boy did. He pushed away or kicked away the best buddy beside him without caring about their friendship. He then screamed excitedly that there was a vacant seat beside him too.
At that time, Miss Yonng was between laughter and tears. Putting on a straight face, she smacked the table.
"Keep quiet!"
Finally, the class became silent. After that, Miss Yonng let Nancy sit nearer to the front beside a girl.
Soon all the boys in class became disappointed.
On the contrary, that girl was slightly thrilled.
"Nancy, nice to meet you. I'm Jane Lindall. We'll be desk mates from now on."
"Hmm, Jane. Nice to meet you."
After Nancy greeted Jane, she chuckled shyly and obediently. That chuckle sounded like a soft cake. Jane was greatly charmed. She could not help but leaned into Nancy and whispered a question.
"Can I touch your face?"
Nancy was dumbfounded.
