Every household began lighting their lamps as the sky darkened. There was little entertainment in the village. They were early to bed and early to rise.
Liu Duo felt discomfort all over and really wanted a bath. In her memory, she had not had one in days. Her period made her desire for a shower even stronger. Otherwise, it was not sanitary.
Ye Ling was in the kitchen boiling hot water for their wash. Liu Duo walked over and said, “Ling, could you please boil more hot water. I want to take a bath. I don’t feel right.”
“Oh, sure,” he nodded.
Just then, Ye Liu came by and leaned against the door, arms folded in front as he joked, “Perfect, I want a bath too! Little Duo, we think alike. Let’s take one together!”
“Like hell we are. Go away!” Liu Duo rolled her eyes. She suddenly realized that Ye Liu had never been serious.
Ye Liu entered the kitchen, stood beside her and begged, “Say, Little Duo, do you detest me? Why don’t you want to bathe with me? I can rub your back and give you a good massage. It’s wonderful!”
Oh my, look at the sadness in his eyes. For someone that handsome, why does he behave like a freak? Liu Duo thought, goosebumps all over.
What’s wrong with you, Liu? Ling thought. He had never seen his brother like this!
“Liu, can you be normal for once?” Liu Duo rubbed her forehead.
Ye Ling nodded in agreement!
Ye Liu’s smile diminished. He placed his hands on Liu Duo’s weak shoulders and spoke in a serious manner, “Little Duo, you don’t have to worry about me getting tired. I am very willing to serve you!”
“Er…” Looking into his serious-looking eyes, Liu Duo felt she could be sucked into them.
They stood very close, and even their breath landed on the other’s face, as Liu Duo slowly felt the heat rising in her cheeks. She thought, Oh my, I got teased again. This devil’s so handsome!
Seeing Liu and Liu Duo so close together, Ye Ling coughed awkwardly, “Water’s done boiling. You can use it now.”
Upon hearing Ye Ling, Liu Duo hastily pushed Ye Liu away, “Okay, I’m getting the bucket.”
Ye Liu raised his brows as he watched her back, why does she get shy so easily?
If Liu Duo knew this was how Ye Liu saw her, she would find that this was also how she saw Ye Ling. One thing always overcomes the other!
Ye Liu helped carry two buckets of hot water, hanging balanced on a piece of wood, into the room. He also took a large wooden basin. “Little Duo, you sure you don’t want me to come along?”
“Go. You wish!” She pushed him out and slammed the door.
With no shower gel and no bathtub, Liu Duo realized how much she missed them! As for the large wooden basin, the user should stand inside and pour in the bath water.
As she bathed, she muttered to herself, “The first thing to do when we get rich is to make a big bathtub, then I can soak in it all day long.”
After the bath, she felt different – fully relaxed. Ye Lie helped to get rid of the bathwater as Liu Duo climbed into bed, covered by the blanket.
Ye Yang had finished his wash. He opened the door and entered.
Liu Duo heard the sound and looked over. She did not feel strange to find Ye Yang there. After all, as Ye Mo mentioned, the four brothers would take turns sleeping with her, so that she would not escape.
“Yang,” she addressed him.
“Yes,” he took off his outer garments, blew out the lamp, and got into bed.
Liu Duo got annoyed. She could hardly stand this sort of person who spoke so little!
