After a while, Ye Mo realized that Liu Duo was able to recite the sentences he had taught her after she repeated them a few times. He muttered in his heart, How is her memory so good? She’s a really fast learner!
If one could recognize a word, they would naturally also be able to write it. And so, Ye Mo started to teach her how to write. He really taught her the way Ye Liu said he would and taught her by holding onto her hand. Liu Duo’s resistance was ineffective. She got so angry that she wanted to hit him!
Liu Duo sat in front of the table, and Ye Mo was beside her, as if he were hugging her. He held Liu Duo’s hand and taught her how to write, stroke by stroke.
“Brush it lightly, like this. You need to lift it up quickly at the end. Otherwise, there will be too much ink, and it will create a black blob and make it ugly.”
Ye Mo was very close to Liu Duo. His mouth was next to her ears and he, being somewhat out of character, was whispering softly. He explained it to her very patiently. He actually looked like a very patient teacher.
Liu Duo already knew how to write, so she didn’t pay attention. She only kept feeling his warm breath in her ears, and it made them tingly. Her heart was beating wildly, and her pretty face slowly turned red.
She muttered in her heart, Oh my, Mo stirred me up without even doing anything! Aren’t I failing myself?
Ye Mo noticed that Liu Duo was drifting off and stopped teaching. He turned his head and looked at her from the side. “Liu Duo, pay attention.”
“Oh.” She regained her senses and awkwardly replied when the hand Ye Mo used to hold her hand – to help her write – stopped moving.
Ye Mo released her hand and said gently, “Try writing it by yourself. I’m going to the outhouse and will be back in a while.”
Bizarrely, Liu Duo nodded very obediently. Liu Duo gave Ye Mo face, so he smiled and touched her head. He then went to the outhouse.
Liu Duo, who was stunned and staring blankly, only regained her senses when she couldn’t see Ye Mo anymore. She muttered softly, “Oh my. Can Mo also be as gentle as Ling? It can’t be that I am hallucinating, right?”
She looked at the words on the paper that Ye Mo had taught her how to write. She never would’ve thought that the violent and impulsive Ye Mo would have such nice handwriting. She hadn’t looked at his handwriting closely when he was teaching her how to sign her name at the tailor shop.
On another side, Ye Liu, who was cutting firewood, suddenly ran into Li Chunmei. Ye Liu gave her a glance. His expression didn’t change, and he didn’t pay attention to her.
Li Chunmei, on the other hand, walked over happily when she saw Ye Liu. “M… oh, it’s Liu.”
When she got closer, she saw that it was Ye Liu and immediately changed her words. She had almost called out Mo.
“Oh, it’s Ms. Unlucky. Why did you call Liu?” Ye Liu noticed that she had almost called him Mo. She had only changed her words when she saw that it was him!
Li Chunmei was a bit out of it after being called Ms. Unlucky. She watched Ye Liu smiling, then looked at herself, and only then was she sure that Ye Liu was referring to her.
“Nothing. I just saw Liu and called out to greet you.”
“Oh!” Ye Liu looked at her and his face was full of smiles. However, his smile was confined below his eyes. Don’t think that he didn’t know her intentions!
Getting looked at like this by Ye Liu, Li Chunmei lowered her head in embarrassment. She muttered in her heart, If Mo also smiled like this, he would definitely look very handsome also!
Ye Liu looked at the shy Li Chunmei, frowned, and then said with a smile, “Ms. Unlucky, Liu is busy chopping firewood, so I can’t chat with you anymore.”
Ye Liu didn’t wait for Li Chunmei to reply. He turned around and left. He would change locations and continue to chop firewood elsewhere. He thought in his heart, You want to take Mo away from Little Duo with your looks? Why don’t you go look in the mirror? There’s no way Mo will fancy you!
He would naturally know his own brother. Even if Liu Duo weren’t part of the equation, Ye Mo still wouldn’t fancy her. After all, what kind of man doesn’t love beautiful women?
