The sudden scream sounded especially loud in the quiet night.

The bed was only that big, so where could she hide?

This was the first time her chest had been attacked, and Liu Duo felt especially ashamed and angry. This bastard looked decent and proper, but he was actually a perverted hooligan!

Liu Duo just sat there, feeling indignant and embarrassed. However, Ye Liu just smiled slyly. "This tactile sensation is much more wonderful than I imagined. It is soft and bouncy."

"Little Duo, I just bathed, so I'm not stinky at all. I am also not acting like a hooligan right now. Behaving like this towards one's own wife is reasonable, fair, and legal."

He touched her hair that was draped over the side of the bed to check if it had dried.

"..." She didn't pay attention to him. Humph.

Ye Liu didn't get angry, even though he didn't get a reply.

Ye Mo and Ye Ling both heard Liu Duo's scream in the bedroom beside them. They were both shocked, and they both thought, Did Ye Liu and her consummate the marriage?

"Little Duo, your hair is almost dry. Do you want to comb it a bit?"

"..." I won't pay attention to you, humph.

Ye Liu got out of the bed and brought a wooden comb over. He sat on a stool and faced Liu Duo's head. He brushed her hair lightly and even tossed it around to make it dry faster.

She could feel Ye Liu moving carefully to avoid pulling her scalp and causing pain. The corner of Liu Duo's mouth started to lift up slowly.

In her heart, she felt a bit blessed. The feeling of being pampered by her man made the anger she initially felt disappear.

Ye Liu put down the wooden comb when Liu Duo's hair was dried thoroughly. He blew out the oil lamp and climbed in bed.

Ye Liu crawled under the blanket right after he got into the bed and held Liu Duo in his embrace. "Little Duo, it feels so warm when I hug you. It was very cold just now. How do you want to reward me?"

She moved her body around to try to escape his embrace. She then said, without being considerate to his ego, "I didn't ask you to help me comb my hair. Serves you right for not wearing any clothes!"

"Ha, Little Duo is so heartless." As he laughed, he kissed the top of Liu Duo's head. "Let's sleep since it's getting late."

He still needed to go to the town port early in the morning to find suitable, temporary work.

After a long time, she noticed Ye Liu didn't try anything else. Was he really asleep?

Liu Duo tried to break away from his embrace. Right as she moved, Ye Liu's arms tightened, not allowing her to escape his embrace.

"Go to sleep quickly, and don't move," Ye Liu said calmly.

She was hugged tightly, so she couldn't move. Liu Duo muttered, dissatisfied in her heart, What sleep? That thing that is pressing against my butt is so obvious. How can I fall asleep? Shameless, dirty hooligan.

The feeling was especially unbearable. Liu Duo felt like her whole body was burning.

But was she the only one who found it unbearable? It was even more unbearable for Ye Liu. It felt like he could only look at and touch his wife, but he couldn't have her. It wasn't a typical kind of unbearable feeling and torture.

Although Ye Liu was very loose with how he spoke, he actually knew how to restrain himself. Even if he wanted to consummate their marriage, Yang should be the one to do so first. Besides, she was still young, and they needed to wait for at least a year and a half.

Liu Duo slowly fell asleep as this unbearable time passed by.

Dawn came, and the weather was sunny. Liu Duo slowly got up in a daze. But the other side of the bed had turned cold long ago. Ye Liu's body had disappeared.

Her stomach ached, so Liu Duo got up to put on some clothes. She didn't have time to tie her hair before she left the bedroom to head to the outhouse.

Ye Mo, who was chopping firewood, saw Liu Duo. He turned his gaze away, looking uncomfortable.

Liu Duo found it strange. What's with that?

After she did her business in the outhouse, Liu Duo felt comfortable. She returned to the bedroom to get her wooden comb and combed her hair.

She tied a ponytail high on her head, braided it, and let it hang down. It was full of youthfulness. She didn't know how to tie it in the styles of this time period anyway.

She could only tie it in the simple, modern style that she was familiar with.
