Chapter 71: Waiting For The Water to Boil
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The time passed, minute by minute and second by second. Liu Duo took a simple shower, changed into clean clothes, and carried a bucket to get more hot water to prepare to wash her hair.
She took advantage of the fact that the day hadn’t turned dark to help make it dry faster. It was because today was different. They ate dinner earlier than usual, and it was still only around seven o’clock.
Ye Mo was still sitting there and boiling the water. He didn’t say anything when he saw Liu Duo this time. He had a cool expression on his face, and he just boiled the water earnestly.
Liu Duo was even happier that he didn’t try to pick a fight. She reached out with her hand to uncover the lid. Ye Mo reminded her, “The water hasn’t gotten hot yet. Ye Liu already drew it to take a bath. Wait for a while longer.”
Liu Duo retracted her hands when she heard that. She thought, Why did his character suddenly change? Why is his tone so tender?
Although she was a bit suspicious, Liu Duo didn’t think too much about it. She sat on the side of the stool and waited for the water to boil.
The atmosphere was quiet. The burning wood made crackling sounds, which was the only sound that could be heard.
Liu Duo stared at the corner and thought of Ye Yang. What was he doing right now? Had he eaten? Was he hurt? Did he think about her? When would he return?
As she thought this, she suddenly realized she really missed him. It was very obvious that they hadn’t really exchanged many words between them. In fact, most of the time it was she who was doing the talking. But she just missed and felt concerned about him!
She only snapped out of it when Ye Mo made a sound. “The water is hot. You can use it now.”
“Oh.” She got up and drew the water.
After she drew the water, she picked up the bucket and started to stagger outside.
Seeing this, Ye Mo got up and prepared to help, but just as that happened, Ye Liu came. “Oh, Little Duo, you are here. I finished bathing and didn’t see you in the bedroom.”
“Come, I will help you carry it. You just finished bathing but still drew water? Is this for washing your hair?”
He stretched out his hands and took over the wooden bucket that Liu Duo held with both her hands.
“Yeah. Thank you, Liu. My hair is a bit itchy, so I want to wash it.”
“What good timing. I will help you wash it, and the two of us will be able to better our relationship as husband and wife.”
Liu Duo walked to the front and ignored his frivolous words.
In the end, she couldn’t resist the shameless Ye Liu, and he still helped her finish washing her hair.
When her hair was being washed, Liu Duo was shocked. Did that dirty water really come from the water that was used to wash her hair? No wonder she felt her head itch. How long had had it been since she last washed her hair?
She was even ridiculed by Ye Liu. “Little Duo, you haven’t washed your hair in a year, right?”
This was really embarrassing!
After she wiped her hair until it stopped dripping, she flung her hair back and revealed a face that was as red as an apple.
She turned around, ran back to the bedroom and closed the door. She didn’t want to see Ye Liu’s look of ridicule.
Little Duo’s embarrassed expression is so cute! Ye Liu laughed while he picked up the Chinese honey locust and placed it into a wooden box next to him.
Liu Duo combed her hair and then tossed it around again. She then put her clothes on the bed and rested her head by the edge of the bed, letting her hair drop straight down from the bed.
The bed was very tall. Her dangling hair was just barely out of reach of the ground.
Ye Liu closed the door right after he came in. He also lit the oil lamp while he was there.
“Little Duo, you rushed to lie down on the bed even though your hair hasn’t completely dried yet? Then I won’t give up on Little Duo’s desire to spend the night together.”
He took off his clothes while he spoke.
Liu Duo lifted her eyes, looked at Ye Liu, and said to him, feeling frustrated, “Liu, can you be more normal?”
Had this bastard’s sperm gone up to his brain because he had held it in for too long? Liu Duo ridiculed him, feeling helpless.
The upper part of his body was naked, and he was wearing underpants on the lower half. After Ye Liu got into the bed, he grabbed his head with his right hand and said seriously, “Little Duo. I am both very handsome, and very long!” [1]

[1] The original translation is a play on the Chinese word, “??” which means normal, and was what Liu Duo asked him to be earlier in the story. “?” means handsome, and “?” is a homonym of the word “?”, which means long.
