Chapter 123 – Wanting to pee (6)
It didn’t take long to boil a large pot of water. Other than keeping some water for drinking, the rest of the water was used for bathing.
Li Mo really did move the bamboo couch to the eastern hut. Then, he put Li Hua’s clean quilt on it.
“Huh? Is wife sleeping there tonight?” Who knows what Li Shu was thinking? But, he sat down on the bamboo couch.
“I haven’t finished making the bed.” Li Man pushed him away and smoothed out the quilt in the area that he had been sitting on.
“Third brother, go sleep on the heated bed,” Li Mo ordered.
“Okay.” This time, Li Shu didn’t protest.
Once Li Man was done making her bed, she saw the brothers were scattered on their bed in sitting positions and couldn’t help furrowing her brow. They didn’t seem like they were going to sleep anytime soon.
Li Mo looked at his brothers in askance. First, he got onto the heated bed, then ordered Li Shu, who was still loitering around Li Man’s bed, “Third brother, blow out the lamp and come to bed.”
“I’m not sleepy,” said Li Shu.
“Keep it down. Your second brother is sick. Stop saying nonsense” Li Mo imposingly said while he deftly blew out the lamp.
The room suddenly darkened. Li Shu yelped, “Oldest brother, you didn’t even wait for me.” He fumbled his way to the bed.
Li Man was sitting on the bamboo couch. It took a long time for her eyes to adapt to the darkness in the room. After she slowly got under the quilt, she started taking off her outer clothing.
However, this bamboo couch was a bit too old, so the bulk of it wasn’t in a good condition. As soon as she slightly moved, the bamboo couch would start creaking. In the silence of the night, it was easy for the sound of her movements to cause the other people to have wild thoughts.
Helpless, she stopped undressing after only taking one arm out of a sleeve. She didn’t dare to move, not even to turn over.
However, on the other side, people were still listening. Since it didn’t take long for the sound of movement to stop, Li Shu grinned as he asked, “Wife, are you asleep?”
What an annoying chatterbox. In the darkness, Li Man rolled her eyes. She instinctively started to turn over, but she didn’t want the bamboo to creak again. She felt frustrated enough to want to smack the ground with her fist.
On the other side, Li Shu started embellishing, “Wife, are you taking off your clothes?”
Li Man really wanted to rip off his mouth, but the truth made it worse. She really was undressing before, but she had only taken off one sleeve. Sleeping on this old bamboo couch like this, it felt even more uncomfortable.
“Third brother, stop talking. Go to sleep.” Li Mo admonished in a deep voice.
“Oh.” Li Shu obediently listened to him. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Very quickly, the sound of quiet snoring was heard on the side of the heated bed. It wasn’t clear who was snoring.
Time slowly passed. In the darkness, Li Man stared at the window, but she didn’t feel sleepy at all. She was used to being able to comfortably sprawl out. This small bamboo couch wasn’t big enough for her to move around. Moreover, she couldn’t move without the bamboo couch creaking. It was so uncomfortable having to keep her body stiffly still.
When she thought the men on the heated bed had all fallen asleep, she carefully changed her posture. Just as she was feeling slightly more comfortable and wanting to sleep, she felt an urge from her lower abdomen. It was a feeling that made her want to jump up and curse.
Who could understand how it felt when everything was just right – snuggled up in a cozy quilt and about to fall into a good night’s sleep – then, suddenly struck with wanting to pee?
