Liu Duo’s snickering made Ye Mo feel even more unbearable. What did she mean by doing that?

“Do you remember what I said? Address me properly in the future!” He repeated again, louder this time.

“Hey, I asked you to you lower your voice. I’m not deaf. Why do you always have to pick a fight! Even if it is a fight, we speak based on reason, not volume! And you’re the one who’s been to school!”

Whenever he got irritated, his voice got louder, and his terrible temper grew worse.

She did not bother to care how Ye Mo reacted as she went on. “Since you are boiling water here, boil a bit more. I want to have a bath and wash my hair. Thanks!”

She got up and walked away, too lazy to talk to him. It was annoying that, even if she weren’t deaf, she would be in time if he kept shouting at her!

He asked her to address him properly, but she did not want to and went on to address him, saying, “Hey?” Ye Mo’s temper rose, and he dumped a whole lot of firewood into the stove. The fire almost went out.

Seeing that, he hastily removed some unneeded firewood and blew air into the stove. The fire returned.

Despite his anger, Ye Mo still boiled more water. After all, Liu Duo wanted a bath.

After she left, Liu Duo went into the room to lay out her clean clothes.

All the while, Ye Liu was with Ye Ling. They talked a lot about his feelings as he eventually got back to normal.

“Ling, I’m going to fetch some water for you. You’ll feel better after a wash.” He patted Ye Ling on the head and left.

At the same time, Liu Duo came out with a bucket to get hot water from the kitchen.

“Yo, Little Duo. What a coincidence? I’m heading to the kitchen too,” Ye Liu greeted her excitedly.

With only so many places to go under one roof, there was no such thing as a coincidence. How unoriginal.

She rolled her eyes. “If it is what you say, Liu, then please get some hot water for me. I want a bath.”

The bucket was made of solid wood. It was quite heavy, and it would be heavier once it was filled with water, so it would be better if Ye Liu carried it for her.

She carried the empty bucket and headed towards the kitchen.

“Come on. Let me help you. I don’t want you to tire out.”

He took the bucket from her and went to the kitchen. Liu Duo did not hesitate and let him take it. She would wait.

In the kitchen, as Ye Liu was fetching hot water, he said, “Boil more hot water, Mo. Little Duo wants a bath later, and I want a good clean wash for tonight too.”

He directed a knowing expression at Ye Mo, as if to say, You know?

Ye Mo ignored the look on his face, and he continued boiling water. It should have been his turn with Liu Duo tonight, but he just had to mess it up!

Liu filled two buckets with hot water and brought one to Liu Duo. “Little Duo, your water’s here, so use it while it’s hot.”

“Thanks, Liu.”

She was about to close the door, but Ye Liu held it open and shook his head in a way he thought was dashing. “Little Duo, remember what I said this morning, on the way home from town?”

And then he kept winking knowingly at Liu Duo.

The corners of her mouth kept twitching. This fool still wants to hook up! I thought he was joking. I’m still underaged. This is sexual harrassment. It’s a crime. A crime!

With all her might, she shut the door with a bang.

She cut off the person, but not the voice. “Wait for me, Little Duo. I’m bathing too.”

Shameless! She murmured under her breath. Then, she began disrobing.

Though he did not receive a reply, Ye Liu smiled like a scoundrel. Then, he left to deliver hot water to Ye Ling.
