Chapter 107 – Jealousy (8)
Seeing that the desire in Li Yan’s eyes hadn’t been hidden away yet, Li Mo’s gaze gradually turned chilly. He continued to stare at his younger brother without saying a word.
“What’s going on?” Li Shu looked at his oldest brother, then he looked at his second brother. He couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Li Yan suddenly chuckled. While continuing to work, he said, “Oldest brother, you should hurry. It looks like it’s going to rain again. Wife has already left the hut.”
“Wife?” Li Shu suddenly thought of something and wanted to move the straw aside to have a look. “Did wife go inside? What was she doing?”
“It’s nothing.” Li Mo blocked him way. Who knows if his second brother was telling the truth? What if their wife hadn’t finished changing her clothes yet?
Li Yan stood up. Grinning, he walked over to Li Shu. He patted his shoulder and said, “Third brother, go down and bring up more straw.” The layer of straw on the roof was too thin. He had accidentally made a hole in the roof and saw something that he shouldn’t have. That girl was petite, but when her clothes were completely taken off, her clean and snow white figure…
Well! Li Yan felt a bit woozy and hot just thinking about it. When he lowered his head, it felt as if something warm was going to spray out of his nose. He hurriedly stopped Li Shu and said, “Third brother, stay here. I’ll go down.”
So that the blood wouldn’t drip out from his nose, he kept his head tilted up as he hurriedly went over to the ladder to go down.
Li Man had no idea what was happening on the roof. From her perspective, she only saw that the roof was covered in straw and couldn’t see anything through it. She had no clue that a small hole on the roof would be enough to clearly see everything inside the hut.
She came out of the hut once she had changed into dry clothing. Li Hua had also finished cleaning his feet by now and had put his shoes back on. He was standing at the doorway and seemed to be waiting for her.
Feeling a bit awkward, Li Man smiled.
“Is everything okay?” Li Hua’s voice was a bit hoarse.
Li Man self-depreciatingly laughed. “What could have possibly happened? That water wasn’t even cold.”
“Yeah.” Li Hua suddenly changed the topic. “It’s too wet inside, and your bed is too wet to sleep on too. There’s a bamboo couch in the kitchen. We’ll move it to our hut later. You can sleep there tonight.”
“Ah? I’m going to sleep in that hut again?” Li Man widened here eyes. Wouldn’t that be too inconvenient?
Li Hua also knew that this was a bit improper, but there weren’t any other options. He could only comfort her by saying, “It’s only until the weather clears up.”
“Oh.” Li Man bit her lip and comforted herself by thinking that it was fine. Nothing had happened when she shared a bed with them last night. So, what was there to worry about? She would be sleeping on separate furniture from them tonight. Moreover, they had seemed more nervous than her last night. Don’t be scared. Don’t be scared.
The two of them were chatting underneath the eaves when Li Yan hastily came around the corner of the hut while clutching his nose. He quietly glanced at the two of them, but he entered the kitchen before either of them had time to say anything. Once he was inside, he scooped up a ladle of cold water and started to wash his nasal cavity.
Li Hua followed Li Yan into the kitchen. Worried, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Li Yan finished washing. Feeling that his nose was okay now, he raised his head and answered, “I’m fine. I just accidentally touched something.” As he said this, his gaze drifted to Li Man, who was standing at the doorway. Feeling a trickle of warm blood dripping down, he hurriedly scooped up cold water and splashed it over his face.
“Second brother, you should rest. I’ll go over there to take a look.” Seeing this sight, Li Hua was very worried. He left the kitchen without waiting for a response from Li Yan.
Since Li Hua was going to the backyard, and she wasn’t busy with work herself, Li Man picked up the basin and brought it back into the kitchen.
