Chapter 69: Hold It Right There

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Inside the outhouse, Liu Duo changed her cloth and found that it was no longer stained with blood. “Yeah, it’s gone! The next time it comes, I’ll know what to do. Best to make my own simple sanitary napkin!”

When she left, she cleaned her cloth again and hung it on the rope.

She went to the kitchen. Ye Liu was with Ye Ling then. He had no time to boil water for her, and she did not want Ye Mo to help!

She went to boil her own bath water. Now that her menstruation was gone, she needed to have a good bath and wash her hair. She had not had one in a while, and it was starting to get itchy.

Ye Mo sat next to the stove, feeding it firewood, boiling water for the nightly wash.

Their eyes met when she entered the kitchen. She diverted her gaze and rushed off.

“Hold it right there!” Ye Mo roared.

What did she mean to do, turning around at the sight of him? Ye Mo thought, annoyed.

Liu Duo did not want to bother with him. He was very unreasonable and could go off at any time.

Liu Duo acted like she did not hear a word, so Ye Mo walked up to her and grabbed her by the arm, stopping her from running. His height came with an advantage, and his long stride managed to block Liu Duo.

Liu Duo furrowed her brow at him. “Hey, let go.”

He did not know why, but he just did not want her to neglect him like that. She was always getting along with his brothers, but she was cold towards him.

“I said let me go. Why are you holding on to me like that? I’m not a cake!”

She shook off the large hands grabbing her arm. Ye Mo had brute strength. Her arm hurt.

It was true. She was the “cake” among the brothers. Ye Mo just had not realised it until recently.

“Cough—What are you doing here?” He lowered his voice, finding anything to start a conversation and hoping to change their situation.

It seemed that the two of them had never had a nice chat. They were always at each other’s throats. Liu and Ling both liked her, so shouldn’t he like her too?

As though looking at an idiot, she thought, What’s going on here?

“None of your business,” she said and rolled her eyes, attempting to leave.

“I’m not letting you off. I’m not finished. Don’t you have any manners?” He grabbed Liu Duo again as he spoke rashly. His volume unknowingly increased.

Liu Duo took note of Ye Mo’s baffling behaviour and thought, He’s not going crazy again, is he? What is there to talk about between us?

He looked like he would not let her go unless they talked! Finally, he went back to his seat by the stove. Liu Duo furrowed her brow and sat beside him, waiting for him to speak.

Yet, Ye Mo did not say anything, which ticked her off. Darn it. He won’t let me go, he says he has stuff to say, and now he won’t speak. Is he pulling my leg?

“Hey, spit it out already. Have you gone mute?” She could not resist asking.

Upon hearing that, Ye Mo muttered, “Hold your tongue! I have a name. Ye Mo, third brother of this family. You should call me that! How rude?”

She always called the other brothers that but had not addressed him properly! Damn her.

Pffft, she laughed. Like she did not already know his name and who he was?

“What’s so funny? If you get it, then call me that from now on! How rude?” Ye Mo felt awkward. Had he said anything funny?

He wanted her to address him properly? Liu Duo thought for a moment. It seemed that she really had not addressed him properly, because he was always the crazy one picking fights with her – with virtually any excuse!

Want me to address you properly? I think not! Call me rude? I’m only polite to people! What an idiot.
