Ye Mo imitated Liu Duo and rolled his eyes at her, because she ignored him first.

Liu Duo simply tied her long hair in a ponytail and went to wash up by the well. Ye Yang was almost finished sweeping the leaves in the yard.

After she finished, she went to his side and smiled sweetly, "Morning, Yang!"

He did not look up, and said only one word, "Morning."

Liu Duo folded her arms in front of her chest and walked alongside him, like a supervisor making sure he did his work right, "Yang, the last few days when you were in the hills, what did you do besides hunting?"

"...", Ye Yang said nothing as he swept, but in his mind, he replied, Missing you!

"There's no one up there, and no one with you. Heck, if it were me, I would have been bored to death..."

Liu Duo kept nagging and talking while Ye Yang occasionally replied. Regardless of what she said, his answers were always single words, like yes, alright, sure, certainly, and so on, which made Liu Duo so mad that her face and mouth twitched terribly! She stilled her wildly beating heart. Oh dear. He can't say more than a few words, can he? He's still as stoic as always, and it's driving me nuts!

Liu Duo stepped forward and grabbed him by the arm, "Yang, lower your head a bit, I want to whisper something to you."

Without much thought, Ye Yang bent down and lowered his head, waiting for her to speak.

Then, Liu Duo cleared her throat, "Yang, can you be a bit more passionate, more talkative, perhaps? Weren't you on fire last night?"

At that point, Ye Yang's ears and cheeks flushed a crimson red, "Sure."

He was always like this. This made Liu Duo really speechless, and she let go of his arm. "Fine. I'll go look for Ling. He's the best!"

The tiniest smile appeared when the corners of Ye Yang's mouth slightly curved upwards as he watched Liu Duo proudly walking away. He thought, This little lady sure is petty.

He realised that, the longer he got to know Liu Duo, the easier it was to spot her many little quirks. The cute one, the brave one, the brash one, the proud one. Their wife had such an interesting character, they must have hit the jackpot of three lifetimes!

Liu Duo found Ye Ling in the kitchen. She grabbed hold of his arm and leaned her head against it, seeking comfort, "Ling."

Ye Ling had just taken the buns out of the steamer. He looked sideways at the head full of black hair, "Duo Er, what's happened? Are you hungry? Look, the buns are ready, so we can eat now.

"Oh," Liu Duo decided to eat her sorrows away and was ready to swallow a number of buns! She helped serve the porridge and laid out the chopsticks.

"Yang, food's ready. Come sit." Ye Ling placed the buns on the table.

Ye Yang washed his hands and went to sit on a stool. He gazed at Liu Duo, his eyes smiling, because Liu Duo had intentionally served him just half a bowl of porridge.

"What are you staring at? Never saw a fair lady before?" Liu Duo rolled her eyes at Ye Yang. She had decided to treat him like Ye Mo now - they were in the same category. She decided not to give them the time of day!

She had such a raging temperament. Just one word and he could tell she was throwing a tantrum. Ye Ling quickly went to console her, "Duo Er, why are you angry? Don't do that. Have some more food."

Ye Mo bit into a bun and looked at her from the sidelines. "Seems like someone swallowed some gunpowder this morning!"

She heard that and glared at him, "Like you care!"

She took a bun in one hand and vented her resentment as she bit hard and chewed. Her cheeks swelled as they were stuffed full of fillings.

Ye Ling thought that Liu Duo looked really cute in this state. He laughed, "Slow down, Duo Er. Chew before you swallow. Don't choke yourself."
