Chapter 418 - Eat!

“They’re getting red,” Ye Yang said, as he added wood to the fire.

They had planted later than other households, so it was natural that their tomatoes would take more time to ripen.

When lunch was ready, Liu Duo served it with an additional dish of tomatoes.

“My wife, did you add sugar here?” Ye Mo asked.

“Yes, it’s sweeter and juicier that way,” Liu Duo fed him a piece.

Ye Mo thought the tomatoes definitely tasted juicier and sweeter than they did when he ate them raw.

He proceeded to get another one with his chopsticks.

Ye Liu giggled at Liu Duo, “Little Duo…”

Liu Duo could tell he was up to no good again. She rolled her eyes at him and got one piece for him too, “Here!”

Pleased, Ye Liu took a bite of the tomato slice and got a hold of the chopsticks as well. Liu Duo couldn’t fish them out of his mouth.

She grew purple with rage. It was the strangest feeling. “Liu, you better open up right now, or I’ll hit you!”

The other brothers watched him being the prankster again.

Ye Mo thought, I was fooling around just now too, but it didn’t turn out like this.

Ye Liu loosened his grip when he saw Liu Duo’s cheeks reddening. “It’s just too good, I can’t bear to let it go.”

He even licked the corners of his lips.

Liu Duo thought, Damn jerk. Must he always goof off like that? Geez…

“Let’s eat!” Ye Yang announced as he shot a glance at Ye Liu.

Ye Liu knew it was better to obey him, “Let’s eat. Let’s eat. What are you all staring at? You won’t get a full stomach just by looking!”

Liu Duo rolled her eyes again before digging in.

The weather was nice that day. After lunch, Ye Liu and Ye Mo went to town, while Ye Yang and Ye Ling went to the farm.

Liu Duo stayed at home. She took a nap, and then she went to the schoolhouse to fetch Liu Ran.

When she got there, she met a hateful character who she hadn’t seen in a long time. Ye Xuan.

Some students saw her and started jeering among themselves, “Look, Liu Ran’s sister is coming to get him again.”

“Liu Ran, don’t you know the way home? Do you need your sister to fetch you every time? Haha…”

Liu Ran ignored their foolishness. He looked out the window and indeed he saw Liu Duo waiting for him at the school gate.

Ye Xuan heard the students talking in the classroom, so out of curiosity he also looked out the window, and saw the woman of his dreams.

He stared at her for a little longer before returning to the front of the class. With a ruler in hand, he knocked on the tabled end, “What are you all chanting about? It’s not time yet. Hurry up and finish the last line of the poem!”

When they heard the snapping sounds, the classroom fell into silence as the students went back to their dictation.

Ye Xuan saw that his students obeyed and added, “When you’re done, stay in your seats. I’m stepping out for a while. Be back soon.”

Then he got up and went to see Liu Duo.

“Sister-in-law, how long has it been?” He chanced a polite smile.

Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him and switched to a different position.

Ye Xuan smiled and moved to face her again. He lowered his posture and laughed, “It seems you’ve gotten prettier. I suppose your husbands have been showering you with love.”

As she moved, Ye Xuan noticed a hickey on her neck, and it drove him crazy.

Liu Duo furrowed her brow slightly and pushed him away, “Are you mad, Ye Xuan? I’m not even close to you! Don’t talk to me!”

Liu Duo felt annoyed just seeing him here.
