Ye Mo and Ye Liu were still on the first floor. Neither of them returned to their rooms after they washed up.
Ye Liu said with a smile, “Mo, why haven’t you gone back to your room to sleep? Admiring the moon?”
Ye Mo took his time in throwing out the water he had used to wash his legs and said cooly, “Then Liu, why haven’t you gone back to your room to sleep? Admiring the bamboo?”
It was pitch black outside that night, as if the moon had not appeared. It also wasn’t possible to see the bamboo clearly. Both of them were lying brazenly, and neither of their faces turned red.
Ye Liu was preparing to sneak into Liu Duo’s bedroom after the other brothers went back into their bedrooms. Coincidentally, Ye Mo also had the same idea! So they were just looking at each other and waiting for the other to go back to his room.
Just as Liu Duo said, not only did the two of them look similar, and not only were both of them thick-skinned and shameless, but even their deviousness was the same!
“Mo, don’t you have to weed the paddy field tomorrow? It’s been getting hotter lately so you should go earlier; otherwise, it might get too hot!” Ye Liu smiled with his legs crossed. What he meant was that Mo should quickly go to bed.
Summer had almost arrived, so they could only do farm work for a while early in the morning and again while the sun was setting. The sun in the afternoon was too strong, and people would get burns from it.
When Ye Mo heard him, he said arrogantly and cooly, “Liu, aren’t you and Yang going to see the village chief tomorrow to buy paddy and vegetable fields? If you don’t go early, you might not see him. After all, the village chief is also quite busy.”
Ye Ling had told him that Liu Duo wanted to buy paddy and vegetable fields. This way, Ye Yang wouldn’t need to go into the mountains to hunt anymore. He agreed with it very much when he heard it. After all, hunting in the mountains was not safe!
He was implying to Ye Liu that he should also go to bed early.
Ye Liu continued to smile while he shook his legs with his legs still crossed. He muttered in his heart, You are quite good, Mo. You are able to shoot back all of my words just because you want to go into Little Duo’s room!
Ye Mo also muttered in his heart, You keep speaking nonsense. Don’t think that I don’t know that you want to go into Liu Duo’s room!
For a while, both of them fell silent and both of them just kept looking at each other. Ye Liu had a smile on his face while Ye Mo had a cool look. They were both battling to see who was more patient and who would be the one to accept defeat!
Ye Yang suddenly wanted to go to the outhouse. He carried an oil lamp downstairs and saw that there was still a lit oil lamp on the first floor. He then saw both Ye Liu and Ye Mo were still sitting there and haven’t returned to their rooms.
“What are you guys doing?” Ye Yang looked at them and asked.
“Admiring the moon.”
“Admiring the bamboo.”
Unexpectedly, it felt like they had a tacit understanding and they both replied in unison. Ye Yang, who constantly had a cold stoic face, looked at the two of them and frowned. In regards to both of them lying so brazenly, he said very coldly, “Tell the truth!”
They were both his younger brothers, so how could he possibly not know that they were speaking nonsense? Admiring the moon on this pitch dark night? Admiring the bamboo? They really thought of him as a fool!
“Damn, Yang you really shock me by being so fierce.” Ye Liu patted his own chest cartoonishly and said again, “Mo and I are discussing something, that’s why we haven’t gone back to our rooms. But we will be going back immediately.”
“Yeah, Yang. Liu and I are just discussing something. But we already finished so I will head back to my room first.” Ye Mo added on coolly. He nodded, lit up an oil lamp and then headed towards the stairs.
Ye Liu also immediately lit up an oil lamp and then headed upstairs.
Ye Yang looked at the backs of the two and, although knowing they were speaking nonsense, didn’t say anything more. He walked towards the outhouse with an expressionless look on his face.
“Mo, we’re brothers so let’s not beat around the bush. I was preparing to go into Little Duo’s room.”
“Liu, I actually planned to do the same.”
The two of them sat and gathered together on the head of the flight of stairs on the second floor and muttered softly. They didn’t plan on hiding it from each other anymore. After all, Ye Yang had discovered them staying on the first floor for a long time and not going back to their rooms. If it happened again, he would definitely start to be suspicious.
