“Yeah, I’m not tired anymore.” Liu Duo looked at Ye Ling through the mirror and smiled slightly.
Ye Ling went forward and took over the jade hairpin from her hands and slowly put it in an appropriate position. “What do you think about sticking it here?”
Liu Duo looked in the mirror. Each of Ye Ling’s movements and his smile were filled with warmth. She suddenly felt like Ye Ling had somehow changed.
As for exactly how, she wasn’t too sure.
Ye Ling was wearing a dark-colored shirt that day. His skin was already pale from his sickliness, and the contrast made his paleness even more obvious.
But his handsome face flushed red, because he was helping Liu Duo with her hair, and he was leaning close to her.
Liu Duo suddenly reached out with her hands and held his hands. She winked at him and gave him a flirtatious glance. “Ling, are you teasing me? Hmmm…”
She saw Ye Ling looking that way and couldn’t help but tease him.
Ye Ling lowered his head and looked at Liu Duo’s brows and eyes, which were filled with smiles. His heart started beating quickly, and his handsome face blushed even more.
He muttered in his heart, Calm down. Control your emotions….
Ye Ling was already taller than Liu Duo, and he looked even taller because she was sitting down.
He held Liu Duo’s hands in one of his own and used his other to softly lift her chin. He bent down, lowered his head, and kiss her on her red lips.
“It’s Duo Er who is teasing Ling, right? Mmm…”
He kissed her very gently and lightly. He stood up straight before it went too deep. Although he looked sickly, he still had the masculinity that men were supposed to have.
Liu Duo was stunned. Had she just been teased back?
There was only one voice in her heart. Oh my, Ling is so handsome like this. A delicate attack?
Ye Ling saw Liu Duo’s pretty face had also turned red. He felt it was quite hard to see her looking at him like this.
He was in an extremely good mood. “Duo Er, eat some fruit to fill your stomach first. I’m going to cook lunch.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around, left the room, and went downstairs.
Liu Duo walked slowly to where the fruit plate was placed and picked up a piece of fruit. When she took a bite, it felt like the sweetness reached her heart. It just so happened that she was indeed a bit hungry.
She went downstairs slowly. The sun that day was so hot. It was fortunate they had built their house in the bamboo forest, since it was a little bit cooler there compared to other areas.
“Hei Xiaomeng come here.” Liu Duo went to the shaded area in the yard and waved towards Hei Xiaomeng.
Hei Xiaomeng heard its master’s voice and ran over eagerly, wagging its hairy tail.
Liu Duo took the wooden comb that was used especially for the pets and used it to comb Hei Xiaomeng.
At this time, Aunt Li walked out from the kitchen while holding Little Huzi.
“Silly girl, are you combing Hei Xiaomeng’s fur again?” She had also seen her comb its fur the day before. There wasn’t anyone who would comb their dog’s fur in that time period!
Liu Duo smiled and said, “Yup. Its fur is quite long, and it will become ugly if I don’t take care of it. It’s just like how we comb our hair every day.”
She loved the black, shiny fur on Hei Xiaomeng’s entire body the most.
Aunt Lie sat beside her while carrying Little Huzi and laughed, “Silly girl, our family is preparing to build a house. How about we move next door to you and become neighbors? When you have kids in the future, they can play together with Little Huzi!”
Upon hearing her, Liu Duo smiled and nodded. “Sure. When are you guys planning on building it? What kind of house are you building?”
Although they had neighbors nearby, they were a bit far away and weren’t inside the bamboo forest. If Li Wazi and the others became their neighbors, they would naturally build near their house, becoming real, proper neighbors.
“We still haven’t figured out when to build. We’re just going to build a normal house.” Aunt Li smiled happily. She never would’ve thought they would also have the chance to build a new house.
The house they were living in had only two rooms. When Little Huzi was grown up, or if she gained a granddaughter, they wouldn’t have enough rooms. What would they do then?
It was fortunate Ye Liu and the others had brought Li Wazi along to do business. Otherwise, their family wouldn’t have had the money to build a new house.
