Chapter 254 - Ah, Is That a Mouse

If Ye Yang had known that they snuck secretly to Liu Duo’s room, he would definitely have gone berserk.

He really placed a lot of importance on what Liu Duo had said. Since she said she wanted to have a room for herself, he would agree to it and would also require the other brothers to abide by it as well!

“Since the two of us brothers have a mutual understanding, how about we just take turns? If Little Duo wants to share her room with another person, the two of us will back off. How about it?” Ye Liu suggested.

While they were building the house, he purposefully suggested that they shouldn’t install a lock on the door to Liu Duo’s room. This was to make it easier for him to crawl into her bed in the middle of the night.

“Okay! You are the second brother, so you go first tonight.” Ye Mo nodded his head. He agreed with this suggestion very much.

He still needed to find an opportunity to have Liu Duo admit that she liked him! He always felt very anxious about this. Otherwise, how could he take the first step towards his goal of having four babies?

They reached an agreement in secret. Softly and quietly, Ye Liu headed towards the fourth floor. When Ye Mo reached the third floor, he went back into his room, closed the door, and went to sleep.

Ye Liu, on the other hand, arrived on the fourth floor and pushed on Liu Duo’s door lightly. However, he could not push it open. He clearly had not installed a lock on the door, so why couldn’t he push the door open? Ye Liu felt extremely puzzled.

Inside the room, Liu Duo kept rolling around in her bed in excitement. This was because she could now sleep in her own room. Although it had been quite some time since she had gone to bed, she couldn’t sleep due to the excitement she felt!

Liu Duo heard a sound coming from the door so she turned around and looked towards the door. Although it was pitch black and she couldn’t see clearly, she kept looking towards that direction.

“Ah, is that a mouse? It seems like I will need to ask Yang to buy a cat tomorrow. I hate mice the most. Making so much noise in the middle of the night is so annoying!” Liu Duo spoke with a smile while pretending to be shocked.

She said it neither quietly or loudly, but it was just loud enough that Ye Liu could hear it outside the door.

Ye Liu stopped pushing the door when he heard her. Liu Duo actually still hadn’t gone to sleep? After all, three hours had passed since she had gone up. All of them thought that she was already sleeping.

Liu Duo had guessed very early on that someone would try to get into her bed in the middle of the night. Moreover, she also discovered her door didn’t have a lock. That was why she asked Ye Yang to help her install a lock early on. She also did this without letting Ye Liu know about it!

Seeing that the sound from the door had disappeared, she covered her mouth and laughed very happily. She guessed it was definitely either Ye Liu or Ye Mo! It was only them whose skin was as thick as the city walls.

Softly and quietly, Ye Liu turned around and went towards the third floor. He realized that his plan had failed and he could only go back to his own room to sleep. However, he had a smile on his face. He muttered in his heart, What a naughty girl? She called me a mouse? She is also smart enough to ask Yang to install a lock.

Liu Duo covered herself with a thin blanket, rolled around for a while, and then went to sleep. After getting a bit too excited, she started to feel a bit sleepy.

Ye Mo woke up early in the morning, opened the door, and walked out. Right then, he saw Ye Liu coming out from the room next to his. Feeling puzzled, he walked towards him and asked quietly, “Liu, why are you coming out from your own room? Didn’t you sleep in Liu Duo’s room last night?”

“I wanted to, but I couldn’t get in. Little Duo closed it tightly, so I couldn’t open it. She asked Yang to install a lock.” Ye Liu stretched his body and answered honestly. He did so so that Ye Mo wouldn’t do the same thing that night and fail to get in, wasting his time.

“What should we do?”

“Who knows! [1] We can only sleep in our own rooms. What else can we do?”

After Ye Liu finished speaking, he headed downstairs. He wanted to go beside the well and wash himself.

Ye Mo frowned and followed him. His mood became a bit gloomy. It seemed that his goal of having four babies was still very far away!

Later, Ye Ling and Ye Yang also got up. The four of them were washing themselves beside the well. It was a really beautiful scene.
