The moment she touched down, Liu Duo swiftly ran towards Ye Ling. She was unsure why she wanted to be by his side once he was within sight. She did not wish for him to be alone.

Ye Liu saw her racing forward and shook his head in glee, Didnt know Ling mattered so much to her.

How long had it been and she already felt it was unbearable to leave him?

The smile on Ye Lings face shone as brightly as the sun once he saw Liu Duo approach him. He hastened his steps, if only to shorten their distance.

Seeing Ling picking up speed, she immediately shouted, Ling, just wait for me there, or at least dont go so fast.

She did not want anything to happen to him. She still clearly remembered Ye Liu scolding him that morning.

Ye Ling listened to Liu Duo and slowed down. He remembered Lius instructions not to repeat the mistakes that made everyone worry.

When she got to Ye Lings side, she was already panting as blood rushed to her head, reddening her cheeks. Physically she was not in good shape, running a short distance was enough to take a toll on her.

Ling, did you miss me? You came out to get me, she said happily between pants.

She did not believe he was there to greet his two brothers. She could not explain why, but she just really felt that was the truth.

Ye Ling replied directly, Yes, I miss you, Duo Er. It had been so long, and you werent back yet, so I got worried.

Although he felt shy saying this, he really missed Liu Duo. Deep down, he knew how important she was to him.

Shy Ye Ling loudly announcing his feelings was quite unexpected to Liu Duo. Happiness spread all over her face.

Me too. Ive missed you. She held his hand and they walked towards the house, Blame your brother, Liu, flirting here and there, and making us miss the ox-cart, so I had to walk home. Ling, you have to defend me!

She shook his arms, bearing a look of anger on her face, but resisted the smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

Ye Liu, with his long legs, entered the house and came across their conversation. He smiled helplessly. She knows Im innocent, yet she intentionally talks badly about me in front of Ling.

Ah, no, that cant be right. Liu wont do that. Duo Er, you must have misunderstood.

Hearing this, Ye Ling got anxious. How could Liu flirt with anyone? He would never believe it! The four brothers had self-respect, so they couldnt possibly do such thing.

Liu Duo secretly laughed at Ye Lings anxious state and put on a serious face. How can you say that? Ling, youre too innocent. Hes older, and sometimes he has difficulty controlling his urges. We understand, youre young, so you know very little.

She spoke to him like a big sister would, and patted him on the shoulder.

Ye Liu could almost cough up blood upon hearing that. He thought, what do you mean by older, and difficulty controlling my urges? Im only 23. Im not that old. Fine. Compared to you, at 15, I am definitely much older.

He went forward and took the cloth pad from Liu Duos hands and put into his. With the other hand, he held onto Liu Duos empty one as he leaned over her ear and said, in a soft voice only they could hear, Little Duo, I only cant control my urges around you. Why dont we try tonight? Hmph

That last sound dragged on so long she felt her heart skip a beat. She released Ye Lius hand and, still red in the face, steered Ye Ling away from him.

Oh my gosh. Is he trying to hook up with me? Nasty demon, Im still so young. How shameless!

Fine. Her body was young, but her soul wasnt. Also, this wasnt hooking up. This was addressing the needs between husband and wife!
