Chapter 571: Goodnight
Ye Ling put on his shoes, got out of bed, lit the oil lamp and went to open the door.
“What is it, Duo Er?”
“Nothing. Can’t I just come to see you?” She leaned against the door and grinned.
He shook his head in reply. “Of course I didn’t mean that. You can come see me any time.”
Pffft, seeing how nervous he was as he explained made Liu Duo laugh, showing her dimples. She decided not to tease him any further and proceeded to ask, “Ling, did you take your medicine after dinner? Don’t forget it.”
“Yes, I have taken it. I won’t forget.”
“That’s good! Rest well, Ling. I’m going up,” she said as she tiptoed closer and gave him a kiss. “Goodnight.”
She smiled, turned back and left.
He watched her go, before he reached a hand up and felt his flushed cheeks. He smiled like a dork and went back into his room.
In a good mood, Liu Duo hummed herself a tune as she walked upstairs.
By the time Ye Yang finished washing up and entered the room, Liu Duo was already on the bed. He wasn’t sure whether she had fallen asleep or not. He closed the door and the window, blew out the lamp, got into bed and brought her into his embrace.
“Yang, after you finish sorting out the rice, do you plan to sell it or…?” Liu Duo found a comfortable position and allowed him to do as he pleased.
Of course she hadn’t slept. She was just lying on the bed.
Ye Yang replied to her, “We’ll have them for meals at home.”
In the past, they would sell the rice Ye Mo had planted and use the money to buy coarse powder. They wouldn’t keep the rice for themselves.
Now, since they already had fine rice, why would they bother buying more?
In the future, after they harvested the other few mu of paddy fields, they could sell the rice for money then. They only had several mouths to feed. They didn’t need to keep that much rice.
“Oh, the rice we planted ourselves should taste better.”
“Yes. Let’s sleep.” Ye Yang held her in his arms and closed his eyes.
Liu Duo stopped talking too. In the dark, her eyes kept darting here and there restlessly. She wasn’t sleepy, having slept too much in the day.
But she didn’t move or disturb Ye Yang, for she knew he had gone through a hard day’s work and needed lots of rest.
It was a while before she finally got drowsy and fell asleep, when out of the blue she felt a pair of hands lingering on her body?
She shifted in her sleep, undisturbed.
Dawn was barely breaking by the time she woke up.
It was an odd time to be awake. Her eyes snapped open and looked towards the window. There was barely any light. She closed her eyes, deciding to catch some more sleep.
She felt a strange movement by her chest and reached a hand out to pat it. “Yang? It’s not morning yet. Let’s sleep a little more.”
Ye Yang heard her voice that had gotten soft as a result of being barely awake. Unknowingly, he closed in on her.
“Sure,” came his low and husky yet soothing reply.
Liu Duo had her back towards him but she all she felt was a body as hot as a furnace. She moved to another spot only to find the furnace following her.
Frustrated, she turned over to face Ye Yang, her eyes barely opened as she mumbled, “Yang, you’re hot, don’t lean onto me.”
Ye Yang had been awake for a while, his eyes unwavering as he set his sights on the blurry outline of Liu Duo’s face. He stretched a hand out to touch her cheek.
“Little Duo, I feel a little hot.
Er…
If you knew that, why were you still sticking so closely? This was frustrating!
She slightly opened her eyes to reveal a thin gap and said, “Yang, if you’re hot too then don’t come so close!”
