Ye Mo kept paying attention to Liu Duo. He didn’t say anything when he saw her leave. Instead, he said to Ye Ling, “Ling, you also go and rest. We don’t need to finish it all in one go.”
“Mo, you should also rest, right? You shouldn’t tire yourself too much as well.” Ye Ling didn’t want him to get too tired.
He knew Ye Ling was stubborn, so he nodded. The two of them walked behind Liu Duo and went towards the slope.
When Liu Duo reached was out of the paddy field, she wanted to ask Ye Ling to rest. She turned around and saw that they had already come up. She saw Ye Mo and then immediately turned around.
She pulled a handful of weeds and rubbed it on the mud on her arms and legs. She pulled another handful for Ye Ling.
“Ling, come. I’ll help you wipe it off.” She stretched out her hands to help Ye Ling wipe off the mud when she saw that he had come up.
Ye Ling never had such close contact with the opposite sex before, so he shyly evaded Liu Duo. “Duo Er, I’ll just do it myself.”
“It’s fine.” She forced herself on Ye Ling and wiped him.
Ye Mo saw the two of them pushing and pulling. He maintained a cool face and snorted softly. One couldn’t tell what he was thinking. He turned his head and didn’t want to look at them. However, he still paid attention to their sounds.
After she wiped off the mud on Ye Ling’s arms, she wiped his legs. “Ling, your skin is quite fair, but when compared to me, mine is still fairer.”
“Duo Er looks good with fair skin, but I don’t,” he said shyly.
He hated the fact that his skin was fair. It wasn’t masculine at all.
After Liu Duo finished wiping his legs, she looked at Ye Ling and laughed, “Who says that your fair skin doesn’t look good? I like your fair skin. It looks much better people’s whose skin is as dark as coal.
When Ye Mo heard what Liu Duo said, he lowered his head a bit and looked at his own arms and legs. His skin tone was quite dark. He frowned gloomily.
Is it really dark? It isn’t that dark. My skin tone is just slightly darker than normal! Ye Mo comforted himself in his heart.
Of the four brothers, only Ye Ling and Ye Lui were fair skinned. Ye Yang was a bit tanned, and Ye Mo was the darkest.
“Ling, if you were a scholar, the idiom, pale-faced scholar, would perfectly describe you.” Liu Duo looked up and down Ye Ling’s body while laughing. She liked everything she saw. He was like a little, white rabbit.
“Oh.” Ye Ling nodded confusedly. He didn’t really understand what pale-faced scholar meant, but he believed Liu Duo wouldn’t lie to him. It was fine as long as she liked it.
“What about me?” Ye Mo suddenly spoke and asked Liu Duo.
He really wanted to know if she disliked the fact that his skin was too dark. All of his brothers’ skin tones were lighter than his. They weren’t dark like him.
“You?” Liu Duo stared at Ye Mo when she heard him.
What about him? What was this fella asking about? “What about you?”
“Do you think my skin is dark? Do you… do you like it?” Ye Mo asked. He threw caution to the wind because he really wanted to know.
Liu Duo and Ye Ling both stared at him when they heard what he said. Why did he suddenly care about this? Was he still the extremely arrogant Ye Mo?
Ye Mo stared straight at Liu Duo. His expression seemingly telling her to answer him quickly.
Liu Duo suddenly laughed out loud. This proud and arrogant man asking such a childish question. Did he really think he was still a teenager? Although he wasn’t especially old, he was still twenty-something!
“Dark. Really really dark. I’ve never seen anyone as dark as you! You are so dark that you couldn’t possibly be any darker.” Liu Duo teased him deliberately and said so with an expression that showed she disliked it.
“What do you mean? Mo isn’t dark. Just that his skin tone is darker than normal.” Ye Ling immediately defended Ye Mo. To him, Ye Mo wasn’t dark, he was handsome and very masculine.
Liu Duo looked at Ye Ling in shock. My god. Does this fella have a brother complex? He’s so protective of Mo.”
