Chapter 660: All Grown Up
Thoughts of Liu Duo flashed across his mind for no reason.
Ye Mo had come down the stairs just now, but as far as Ye Ling was concerned, his brother never took naps. In fact, all four of them did not take naps. And Liu Duo had not come down the entire time, which was very unlike her.
When Liu came down, he did not say much regarding Liu Duo, and merely grazed through. Something was definitely up!
Could it be that Mo was ‘doing it’ with Liu Duo upstairs?
Ye Ling’s cheeks began to flush red when he thought of that possibility. Sexy images flashed in his mind in broad daylight. It was all too embarrassing.
“Ling, what’s going on here? Why are you suddenly so red? Is it the heat?” Dongfang Ming noticed and proceeded to cool him down with his fan.
He did not know what had gotten into him. As far as he could tell, it was not that hot inside the house.
Ye Liu and Li Wazi turned to face Ye Ling too.
He felt awkward and hung his head low, his eyes on his writing. “Brother Ming, no. I’m fine. You don’t have to do that. It’s a little hot but all is well.”
He did not want to admit he had been thinking of the unthinkable. He realized he had become quite lewd these days.
Seeing his youngest brother all red like that, Ye Liu playfully came to his side and, in a volume only the two of them could hear, said, “Ling, you’re thinking sexy thoughts, aren’t you? Looks like you’re all grown up.”
He knew what Ling had been thinking of without even guessing. Previously, he would not have blushed so randomly. His ears looked so cute whenever he blushed.
Ye Ling blushed even more furiously, his mind close to a breakdown.
“Liu, I….”
He wanted to deny it, but he knew he could not convince someone as intuitive as his brother Liu, who could tell lies and truths apart.
He himself was not good at lying anyway.
Smirking, Ye Liu patted his brother on the shoulder, and voiced a casual concern. “Ling, if you feel hot, try washing you face. You’ll feel better.”
“Yes, Ling, go wash your face. You won’t feel as hot,” Li Wazi seconded.
He was even quite certain that Ye Ling’s cheeks went red because of the heat.
Er…
Finding himself in an awkward situation, Ye Ling heeded their suggestion and went to wash his face. He would take this moment to shirk the unwanted attention.
When he was almost at the kitchen, Ye Mo came out from there with the wooden basin.
“Mo,” Ye Ling called for him, wanting to know about the water in the basin. It caught his attention and he could not shake it off.
“Alright, Ling, wash some fruit for the wife, can you? She’ll be down soon,” Ye Mo said, cutting in to gave some instructions. He left for the stairs with the basin as soon as Ye Ling nodded in response.
Dongfang Ming saw him leave with the basin but did not wonder about it. In the capital, they would wash up indoors after waking from a nap or from a night’s sleep.
Li Wazi, on the other hand, wanted to say something when he saw that, but Ye Liu beat him to it. “Li Wazi, shouldn’t you check on your son about now? Perhaps it’s time to change his diaper?”
That was what he had meant to do when he carried his son out earlier. He had totally forgotten about it after he asked about Ye Mo, and then the conversation spiraled out of hand. He quickly went to resolve the matter after Ye Liu’s reminder.
“Thank you for reminding me, Liu. I would have totally forgotten about it,” Li Wazi said, smiling.
Back upstairs, Ye Mo directly entered the room carrying the basin. “Wife, there’s no hot water available so the water from the well will have to do. You can take a bath after dinner.”
