Chapter 200: Sunshower (1)
Li Mo soon came back; the door was opened and he walked in directly. He saw Li Hua sitting on the stool with his head drooping slightly, like he’s pondering on something.
Li Man was leaning against the small window, sitting quietly like a painting, even when he came back and gently called out to the two people, she didn’t even turned her head.
“Big brother, you’re back?” Li Hua got up and lightly smiled as he asked, “What did teacher talk about with you?”
Li Mo took back his gaze from Li Man, slowly answered, “Your teacher will go to Fu City in two days, he want you to send him on the journey.”
“Oh.” Li Man nodded, “It’s still this matter, teacher had already said it to me yesterday. I planned on going back home and discuss about this with you in these two days.”
Li Man sat down and looked at Li Hua seriously, “Fourth brother, what’s your idea about this?”
“I think teacher favors my development (as a student). His body isn’t as good as before, so I’ll be worried if he go alone.” Li Hua said.
“But, going to Fu City isn’t a matter of just one or two days.” Li Mo felt hesitant and worried watching his younger brother, “Anyway, you’ve never been that far from home, and this time you suddenly have to go there, your big brother can’t rest assure.”
“Big brother doesn’t have to worry about this. Teacher already prepared a horse carriage, also there’s someone at Fu City to give aid to us. As long as teacher has settled there, I’ll go back immediately.” Li Hua reassured his older brother.
“But-“ Li Mo still worried, “How about big brother go and accompany you?”
“One person more means more cost, furthermore there’s still teacher, will there be any mishap? Besides, I also want to go to Fu City to look around.” Li Hua deliberately talked lightly.
Li Mo was silent for a while and sighed again, “Your teacher is already old, it’s good that he has a place to go to. But, you only studied for two years, later…”
“Self-study is the same, furthermore, I still can write a letter to teacher if I have any question.” Li Hua said.
Li Mo sighed, “It can only be like this. Fourth brother, have you gone out these past few days? Big brother doesn’t bring that much money now, how about you go back home tomorrow?”
How much money his family have, how can Li Hua not know? “Big brother, this time teacher is paying for the journey.”
“Oh.” Li Mo was silent. Although he didn’t want his brother to have any risks, but he also can’t ignore teacher’s kindness,” Then you have to be more careful on the road.
“En.” Li Hua promised, his eyes slowly glanced sideways at Li Man.
Li Man still maintained her original position, her eyes dazing blankly at the rose bush inside the courtyard.
Li Hua just recklessly kissed her in desperation, and then told her that he would marry her when he come back.
At noon, Li Hua made two dishes. Li Mo and Li Man stayed together to have a meal. After eating, the two then left the school.
Before leaving, Li Hua sent them to the gate. Before Li Man stepped out of the door, he quickly grabbed her hand and squeezed it in his palm. He gently reminded her, “Remember my words, wait for me to come back.”
“En.” Li Man’s face was hot. She hastily took out her hand from him and in quick stride ran to Li Mo who was pushing the cart in front.
Li Mo was curious, “What did fourth brother say to you?”
“Why don’t you just ask him?” these brothers all have the same shameful behavior, Li Man helplessly thought.
Li Mo pushed the cart and quickly went to her side, staring suspiciously at her red cheeks, and finally to her red lips, “Fourth brother… did he bite you?”
“Wha-…” Li Man’s hand instinctively touched his mouth, feeling a bit of tingling sensation. He can also find out about this kind of thing?
Li Mo suddenly stopped pushing the cart, reached his hand out and grabbed Li Man, pushing apart her hand and gently touched her tender lips with his rough calloused fingertips. With a scrunched eyebrow he sighed, “Fourth brother was bad, biting your lips like this. Is it hurting?”
“Your pinching’s hurting me.” Li Man patted his hand off and she walked off while feeling vexed.
Li Mo rushed to push the cart and catch up to her, “What? Are you really angry?” It was fourth brother who bit her, why is she angry with me?
“You brothers are all the same.” Li Man turned her head, ferociously glaring at him.
Li Mo felt wronged, “I didn’t bite you.”
Li Man felt more annoyed, “Do you want to bite me too?”
Li Mo stared at her swollen red lips, something flashed inside his eyes, but he didn’t dare say that he want to bite her too, “Man Er, walk slower. Maybe it’s because fourth brother want to go far away this time, but he usually isn’t like this.”
Haa, Li Man wanted to facepalm herself and just go away. This doofus, she wasn’t really angry, she was just ashamed of being seen by him that she didn’t know how to act, and there’s no other way but using this way to block his mouth from blabbering nonsense.
His comforting words, the more he said it the more she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
It’s just, doesn’t he feel nothing even when his little brother did this to her? Instead, he defended his brother. She felt like this time she should really be angry.
“Your fourth brother bit me, don’t you feel angry at all?”
Li Mo was dumbfounded, “Fourth brother, he—“
He immediately understood Li Man’s meaning, he also saw the entanglement and anger on her eyes. In fact, how could he not feel jealous? But that person was his fourth brother, and also her shared husband.
“Man Er.” He looked at her in distress, “Do you have to put me in this difficult position?”
“I…” Li Man didn’t know what to say, but can a person’s heart be split into a few pieces? Why does she fell guilty whenever she’s facing everyone of them?
When she agreed to li Mo, she suddenly couldn’t face Li Yan. When facing Li Yan, her heart beat quickly, making her dare not face Li Shu. When Li Hua got intimate with her, she couldn’t face Li Mo, she felt that she has betrayed them.
She obviously knew that she was just torturing herself, since those brothers didn’t care about this.
But she, on the contrary, felt like this all along ah.
“I don’t know, my heart just can’t accept this.” She looked at his eyes, Li Man truthfully said her feelings.
Li Mo opened his mouth and wanted to comfort her, but he didn’t know what to say, when at last, he finally said, “How about this, I’ll tell fourth brother to not bite you next time?”
Thump—Li Man felt like fainting. She immediately said, “There’s no need to tell him.” If she need Li Mo to tell fourth brother this kind of thing, then how can she face Li Hua in the future? Moreover, he didn’t really bite her, he just—
When she thought about the scene in that small room, Li Man felt ridiculous, her face blushed red and her heart jumping. Although that young boy didn’t know how to kiss with his tongue, he was still very eager and reckless, almost making her want to guide him in.
But she didn’t do anything.
The result of not doing anything was hurting her own lips ah, her lips was sucked like a jelly by that boy for a long time!
“Man Er.” Li Mo lowered his head and looked at her, “You, are you blushing?”
Li Man was shocked until her spirit came back into place. She quickly went forward, “Where’s the market?”
“This way, you’re running to the wrong way,” Li Mo stood behind and laughed.
Li Man blushed and with a gloomy expression she went back, lightly giving a look to Li Mo, “You’re familiar with the road.”
“Oh.” Looking at her like this, he knew that she was fine. Li Mo was happy as he pushed the cart to the front. From time to time, he looked back to see if she could keep up with him.
