Ye Yang continued to weave his mat, saying nothing. Liu Duo got closer and bumped him with her arm, giggling, “Yang, you were so cool, so manly just now, lashing out like that!”
He stopped what he was doing and looked at her, “You scared?”
He knew the unsightly scar on his face made him appear scary and savage. People usually wouldn’t look at him. They found him ugly and scary, especially when he unleashed his temper.
“No, I’m not. Why should I be?” Liu Duo asked back.
What was there to be scared of?
“Because it’s ugly!” A trace of inferiority dashed across his eyes. After all, to him, Liu Duo was beautiful and adorable, with especially attractive qualities.
It’s such a waste for her to marry four brothers like them! She deserved better.
Hearing that left her stunned for a few seconds before a bright smile lit up her face.
She stood up and looked at him from above, “True, very true. It’s ugly, so ugly that I just might throw up last night’s dinner!”
And then she hurled herself onto his back, clinging around his neck, as she whispered whimsically in his ear, “But I like this ugly side of you, lest wildflowers come to you, and then I’d have to break them!”
“…” As Ye Yang listened, he couldn’t tell if she was praising him, or discrediting him! Such mischief.
Seeing that he wasn’t reacting, Liu Duo blew into his ear, “Yang, do you think I’m ugly? I’m your wife, so if you say you’re ugly, then I am too! We are husband and wife; therefore, we are one in body and soul.”
Ye Yang’s heart beat faster and his ears got redder as Liu Duo’s flirtation came into effect, but he maintained his poker-face. “No, you’re not ugly. I like it.”
Ears flushing red, Liu Duo grinned even broader. How unlikely it was for a man like him to get shy. “You’re not ugly either. You’re handsome and manly. I like that about you.”
She loved a mature and manly man like Ye Yang very much.
Then she pecked just once on his cheek, “I’ll leave you to your work then. I’m going to see Little Mo.”
Ye Yang’s lips curled upwards as he saw her walk away joyfully, feeling very good about himself. His wife had said he wasn’t ugly, and that he was in fact very handsome! He really liked her more and more. She gave him confidence.
When Ye Ling entered the house, he saw Ye Mo kneeling on the floor while Ye Liu sat cross-legged on a stool looking smugly at him.
“Liu,” Ye Ling greeted his brother and went to his side, ignoring Ye Mo.
“Oh, you’re back. Where’s Little Duo?”
“She’s in the yard, talking to Yang.”
Ye Mo furrowed his brow when Ye Ling disregarded him. He called, “Ling.”
Ye Ling turned away from him. He had lied to family! He wasn’t a good brother!
“Hehe, Ling, Mo has been severely punished by Yang and yours truly. He won’t be making the same mistake again. See, he’s still kneeling. Why don’t you forgive him this once? If he does wrong again, the three of us can beat him together and give him a near-death experience. What do you say?”
Ye Liu patted Ye Ling’s shoulder as he spoke for Ye Mo. They were still brothers after all. He could repent for his mistake.
So, Ye Ling looked at Ye Mo, with bruises all over his face, and sympathized with him. Ye Yang and Ye Liu hadn’t held back, had they? This was worse than the last time.
As he sunk in thought, he wasn’t in the mindset to reply. So Ye Liu added, “If you think Mo hasn’t had enough from the beating we gave him, feel free to add in a few kicks of your own!”
Ye Ling came to and shook his head, “That’s alright, as long as Mo swears not to do it again.”
