Ye Mo just stared at her, refusing to let go. Liu Duo tried to move away, “Mo, are you listening to me? Let me go. It’s getting hot here!”
“Mo, stop doing that, will you? Just let go of Duo Er,” Ye Ling noticed the sweat sliding down from her forehead. He put the fruit back into the dish and opted to fan her instead.
The days had gotten hotter. Of course Ye Mo knew that sticking to each other would only increase the heat. With all three brothers furrowing their brows at him, he relented and released Liu Duo.
He wouldn’t want Ye Ling getting anxious over this. It would be bad if he were to get sick again.
Once she regained freedom, Liu Duo kept a distance from him and glared. Talk about Ye Liu’s doppelganger, but worse! Damn it!
Ye Ling passed a piece of fruit to Liu Duo since Mo had released his grip, “Here you go, Duo Er. Have some fruit.”
She accepted it. Then Ye Ling prepared another one, which was intended for Ye Liu.
“Duo Er, I’m taking this to Liu. Do you want to come with me?” he asked her, still fanning.
Out of fury, she took a big bite of the fruit but shook her head. She couldn’t deal with either of those two rascals at the moment. “Go ahead, Ling. I’m going downstairs to look for Yang.”
They spoke as though Ye Mo weren’t even there, and then they left the room. One went up, while the other went down.
Ye Mo found himself alone and began to feel bad. Was Ling angry just now?
Liu Duo arrived downstairs to find Li Wazi carrying his son, taking on the role of a proud father.
“Li Wazi, have you changed his diaper? Better not get him wet,” Liu Duo reminded him as she walked over.
A frank smile appeared on his face, “Yes, I’ve just done that. He won’t get wet for the time being.”
“Alright, let me hold him. I haven’t gotten the chance to do that today. Do you miss me?” Liu Duo tossed her finished fruit into a bamboo basket before pinching the baby’s chubby nose to tease him.
Li Wazi knew she enjoyed holding his son. Grinning, he let her carry the baby.
“Sister Duo, if you like babies so much, why not have one of your own? That way, Little Huzi would have someone to play with.”
What he really wanted to say was that he hoped she and Mo could give birth to a daughter, and then their children could get married.
Liu Duo wondered what he really meant when he said that. He’s not talking on behalf of Ye Mo, is he? Is he here to persuade me?
She had been able to tell long before then that Li Wazi and Ye Mo had a solid friendship, but he wasn’t too close with the other brothers yet.
Liu Duo held Little Huzi as she sat on her rocking chair, holding a fan in her other hand, “No worries. It’s not the right time to have babies yet.”
Li Wazi couldn’t understand what she meant by ‘not the right time’. He took a stool and went to sit beside her and asked, “Why not? If not now, then when will it be?”
Pffft, Liu Duo chortled.
She never expected Li Wazi to be so nosy. Why was he asking so many questions? He seemed to be in a rush.
“I’ll have a baby when the time is right, and I won’t when the time isn’t. Got it?”
She held onto Little Huzi as she leisurely rocked in her chair.
Er…
Li Wazi, bless his simple mind, looked at Liu Duo absentmindedly as though he were deep in thought, but he finally uttered, “No.”
Liu Duo considered that Li Wazi had the potential to become a comedian.
A simple change in facial expression was funny enough to make people laugh.
