Such bold attire made Ye Ling blush non-stop, heart pumping. Embarrassed, he coughed, “Duo Er, have some fruit.”
“Alright,” Liu Duo, all sweaty, exhaled and got down from the bed. She thrust one piece of fruit toward Ye Ling before taking one for herself.
She didn’t think there was anything improper about what she was wearing. She sat on the bench and ate her fruit.
“Ling, do you think there’s anything missing in our new house?” she asked as she took a bite of the fruit.
Shyly, and apparently still dreaming, he looked at the fruit in his hand, not responding at all, as though he hadn’t heard anything.
Liu Duo noticed his flushing cheeks hanging low, eyes on his fruit, not knowing what was in his head. She walked over to him, and when she was quite close, she tilted her head to look at him, “Ling, what are you thinking about? I’m talking to you.”
Invaded by the unique feminine fragrance, Ye Ling snapped to attention and realized that Liu Duo had gotten really close to him. He unknowingly took a step back. “Duo Er, what… what did you say?”
Liu Duo saw that he was acting strangely, not looking at her, and not even listening to her. She took another bite of the fruit and examined her attire. She smiled when she understood the reason.
She might as well be wearing camisoles with very short shorts. It was easier to practice yoga in. She felt it was nothing out of the ordinary, but Ye Ling got bashful.
“I said, think again, what other things are we lacking in the new house?” She returned to sit on the bench.
Ye Ling gave it some thought, “I don’t think so. I guess we have everything we need.”
Tables, chairs, dishes, cupboards, beds, all of which were new. And whatever they hadn’t had before, Liu Duo had gotten new ones too. That’s why he didn’t think they had missed anything. Now they were just waiting for an auspicious date to move in.
“Oh,” Liu Duo nodded. She thought the same and was just asking for anything she might have left out that he could have remembered.
“Duo Er, I’m going to continue making insoles,” Ye Ling said and turned away.
When he left the room, all Ye Ling could think about was the fair, exposed skin of her arms, her ample bosom, her slender waist, and the pair of equally slender legs. He felt a gush of warm liquid spewing from his nose. He went to touch it and found that it was blood!
Confounded, he kept his head high as he went looking for a handkerchief to clean it off. He thought, At least Duo Er didn’t see me like this.
Lately, she had eaten right and slept well, so not only had she gotten taller, but her body had gotten fleshier too, making her that much more voluptuous than before.
She finished the fruit in hand and continued with her yoga. There were still several sets of poses she had not gone through.
In the paddy fields, Ye Yang and his brothers were weeding. The weather was so hot and dry that sweat practically rained down from their bodies. In the next field, Li Chunmei kept looking at Ye Mo. He had been avoiding her recently, and she got terribly upset by it.
“Little Mo, look. Miss Unlucky is staring at you again, why don’t you respond to her?” Ye Liu joked softly with Ye Mo.
“Not my business! Liu, tell me, what can I do to make Liu Duo realize she likes me?” Ye Mo said. He had gotten irritated that Liu Duo still treated him badly.
Ye Liu giggled, practically gloating, “It will be difficult, Mo. You were the one who attacked first, so that leaves a bad impression. Little Duo won’t realize her feelings for you in such a short time. When she does, maybe she won’t even admit it!”
