When Ye Ling heard her, he smiled like he had eaten a candy. Ye Mo, on the other hand, made a face as though she owed him a fortune.
Liu Duo placed the plates on the shelf first. She dragged a giant, round stool to the bedside and placed the plates on top. This way, Ye Ling would not have to get up. Ye Mo gently leaned him against the headboard.
“Ling, come on. Dig in.” She passed the chopsticks to Ye Ling.
“Right. Thanks, Duo Er. You and Mo should go eat. Don’t worry about me.”
“Alright, eat it while it’s hot. Call me if you want more,” she said, and walked out, completely ignoring Ye Mo.
“Mo, you go ahead. Don’t stay with me,” Ye Ling reminded Ye Mo, who stood there.
He nodded and turned away. When he got to the table, Ye Liu greeted him before digging in with Liu Duo. There was laughter between the two as they talked.
He ate aside. The food felt totally tasteless.
Liu Duo had made such an outrageous mistake this time, and yet Liu hadn’t reprimanded her? They’re laughing like nothing happened.” Ye Mo felt irritated.
He could not figure why Liu and Ling behaved like this. Could they really have fallen for her?
He had agreed with Uncle Ye to buy Liu Duo as a wife. He had thought they just needed a wife and would treat her well, and she would bear their children, and they would live together. He never expected his brothers to fall in love with her!
Now Ye Liu was showing his love towards her, and Ye Ling directly told her that he liked her. Everything was happening so fast. Ye Mo could not possibly accept it.
Wasn’t treating her well quite enough? Why had they fallen for her?
While he sank into deep thought as he ate, Liu Duo and Ye Liu had already finished their meal.
Liu Duo did not care to wait for him, so she said, irritably, “The last person to finish shall do the dishes! I’m going to see Ling.”
Ye Liu looked at Ye Mo. “Enjoy your meal, Mo,” and he went into the house to see Ling too.
In the room, Liu Duo sat by the bed, looking at Ye Ling, who did not look as pale anymore. She was much relieved.
“Ling, you have not taken your medicine tonight, right? Where are the pills? I’ll bring them over.”
“Oh. In the drawer. Just open it, and you’ll find them,” he pointed at the drawer.
She opened the drawer and took out the bottle of medicine. She poured one pill out. It was round and black and as big as a piece of chocolate.
She handed it to Ye Ling and poured him a bowl of water.
Ye Ling ate the medicine and stared at her, like he had decided on something.
By the bed, Liu Duo questioned, “What’s up, Ling?”
The way you look at me, Ling, what do you want me to do? She waited for his reply.
Eyes as big as black pearls were blinking and staring at him. Ye Ling pursed his lips, mustered enough courage, and said, “Duo Er, in the afternoon, didn’t you ask me…”
“Shush, Ling, don’t talk about it. We can talk about anything except this.” At the mention of what had happened earlier, Liu Duo interrupted him for fear of another accident! That topic had to be avoided.
“What are you two chatting about?” Ye Liu asked as he entered suddenly.
“Nothing, Liu. Why don’t you talk to him? I need to use the outhouse.”
She saw her chance to flee when Ye Liu made his appearance. She was afraid Ye Ling would mention the previous incident again. Otherwise, if anything happened, she would have been a sinner!
Coincidentally, she had to change her cloth. If it were no longer stained with blood, then her menstruation would have ended for now!
