After the deed, Ye Yang also thoughtfully fetched water for Liu Duo to wash her hands.
Then he discarded the water, blew out the lights, and went to bed. Liu Duo held onto him as they slowly drifted into sleep.
The next day, Ye Yang woke up early, unlike Ye Mo who overindulged himself.
He looked at Liu Duo who was still sleeping sweetly in his lap. The corner of his mouth twisted upward, and he felt great. He kissed her on the forehead, then got down from the bed, put on his clothes, and also tucked her in nicely.
Ye Ling had also woken up early and was washing up by the well when the saw Ye Yang come out. “Yang, you’re up. Come and wash up.”
Ye Yang acknowledged him and did so.
Ye Mo got left his room and went to the well to wash up too.
Seeing everyone there, Ye Ling asked, “Yang, Mo, what do you want to have for breakfast? I’ll go prepare it.”
“Anything,” Ye Yang was not picky about food. It should be said that the brothers were never picky about food. Only Liu Duo was a bit fastidious, at least in their eyes.
Ye Mo was gargling. He spat out the water in his mouth and said, “Me too. Anything.”
“Oh, then what do you think Duo Er wants to eat? She doesn’t like to repeat the same food everyday, like that time we had paste.” Ye Ling cared about Liu Duo, but he did not know what food she would want. If she didn’t like the food he made, she wouldn’t say it, but she’d eat very little, and he’d worry that she might starve.”
“I’ll go ask her,” Ye Mo proposed after washing his face.
It was half past six then. Liu Duo liked to sleep late, and at that moment she was sleeping quite nicely.
He entered the bedroom and sat by the bed, looking at her wrapped up in the blanket, with only her head showing. She did not look like she would wake up soon. For once Ye Mo was not mad, as he admired her like this.
This was the first time he had been so quiet when he was so close to her, and she was quiet too. To be fair, she was sleeping.
After a few quiet moments, he reached out his hand, slowly pinched her nose, and waited for her to run out of air. She had to get up. No shouting or screaming was involved. “Wake up.”
Liu Duo slapped his arm away. She squinted, glaring at the culprit, “Are you crazy, scoundrel? Are you asking for a beating!”
Seeing her wake up in a state of confusion, tongue sharp as usual, he folded his arms across his chest and said cooly, “I am not crazy, nor do I want a beating. Anyway, you’re not my competition, and you can’t beat me!”
“Whatever. Get out. I still want to sleep,” She turned over and pulled the blanket over her head, not wanting to see him.
Can’t beat you? You nasty scumbag. Do I look that violent to you? If I want to lay hands on you, I have Yang and Mr Liuzi. Do you think they live off vegetables? Mess with me, and they’ll mess with you!
With her head covered, Liu Duo thought angrily, This guy is just looking for ways to annoy me, even when I’m sleeping!
Seeing her reluctance, Ye Mo sat a bit closer and pulled the blanket away, “Ling wants me to ask you, what do you want to have for breakfast?”
If Ye Ling were there, he would question his actions, saying, Mo, you said you’d come ask her yourself. I didn’t tell you to do that!
Ye Ling would never do something like disturb Liu Duo in her sleep. Especially now, when it was too early to rise.
Hearing that name, Liu Duo did not pull the blanket to hide herself again. Instead she replied gently, “I’ll eat whatever he makes.”
With that, she pulled back the blanket to cover her head. This made Ye Mo mad.
What did this mean? He had asked her kindly what she wanted to eat, and she had grimaced at him fiercely! At the mention of Ye Ling’s name, she practically purred. What’s up with the huge disparity?
