Chapter 106 – Jealousy (7)
“It won’t be easy for you to do it yourself, right?” Li Man moved the wooden stool forward. “Come closer and lift up your feet. I’ll pour water over them. This way, your feet will get cleaner faster, and you’ll be able to wear your shoes sooner.”
Li Hua obediently sat down on the stool and stretched his feet out.
Li Man thought it was a bit strange. This teenager had an attractive face, attractive hands and feet, and even his legs were slender and straight. She went forward and poured his water over his muddy feet.
The water washed away most of the thick mud, but there were still some dirty spots that needed to be cleaned by hand. Li Man looked at him.
Li Hua felt a bit embarrassed. He stretched down to wipe away the remaining mud. But, the stool was too small, so he lost his balance and started to fall forward. Li Man instinctively stretched her hand out to support him, but as she did so, the basin tilted, and the rest of the water poured out onto both of them.
Never mind that, Li Man dropped the basin and tried to help up Li Hua, who had fallen into her arms.
“Are you okay?” It seemed as if his entire body had gotten soaked.
“F-Fine.” Li Hua moved away from her chest. His cheeks were flushed red like fire. A moment of carelessness and he had ended up falling into her arms. His face had touched those two soft, fragrant….
Li Man hadn’t noticed. She just felt a bit dejected when she saw that their clothes were soaked. It hadn’t been a good day. Her quilt was wet, and now their clothes were wet too. There wasn’t even a place to dry off.
Li Hua stood up with his feet still bare. Seeing that her upper garment and pants were completely soaked, he felt very apologetic. “I’m sorry. You’re all wet now.”
Li Man mustered up a smile as she said, “Oh, you can finish washing up by yourself. I’m going inside to change my clothes.” Then, she brushed off the water from her clothes as she headed inside.
Li Man felt so upset. Her new clothes had gotten wet the first time she wore them. Fortunately, Li Hua had made her two sets of clothing, so she still had another set of cleaning clothing to wear.
And so, she took out the other set of clothing from her wardrobe and slowly took off her wet clothing.
There was still thumping sounds coming from the roof, and from time to time, wet straw would fall down.
She didn’t pay attention to it. The windows were closed, the door was closed, and she didn’t think anyone would try to sneak a peak. She completely didn’t think about how the Li brothers were on the roof and cleaning away the rotten straw.
And so, Li Mo was caught off guard when he saw a woman below through a small hole in the roof.
At this time, Li Man had untied the strings for her undergarment halter top, taken it off, and placed it inside the wardrobe. From Li Mo’s angle, he happened to see her clean, snow-white figure, her smooth and delicate shoulders, the elegant curve of her chest…
His hand froze, and his breathing stopped. Li Mo felt as if drunken rabbits had been stuffed into his heart, and they were erratically jumping around.
“Oldest brother?” Li Shu brought bamboo over. He had called a few times, but Li Mo hadn’t responded.
“Ah, nothing.” Li Mo hurriedly took the bamboo from him and covered up that hole. However, right after he did that, he saw that Li Yan was half-kneeling on the thatched roof and staring down at the scene below. His black hair had fallen down and was covering half of his face, so no one could see his expression. However, Li Mo immediately realized something after looking at him, and a feeling of anger rose in his heart without reason. He shouted, “Second brother.”
“Hmm?” Li Yan slowly stood up straight and gathered up some straw to cover up the hole. Then, he raised his head and looked at Li Mo. “Oldest brother, what’s wrong?”
