Chapter 157: Only You
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Ye Liu, though handsome, might come off as dissolute and a natural flirt, typically loved by women. Women loved mischievous men, didn’t they? Especially a handsome one, like him.
As for Ye Yang, he was stoic, with a scar on the right side of his cheek, which might not make him look as good, but he was still considered handsome. Women liked manly men too.
As for Ye Mo, while he looked similar to Ye Liu, he had a nasty temper. The two could be compared as heaven and hell. But some people would find aggressive ones attractive.
There wasn’t much to say about Ye Ling. He was adorable, like an innocent scholar, and very gentle too. Although he had a minor mobility issue and was highly dependent on medicine, he was still likeable.
She actually didn’t mind women approaching them, but she was strongly against physical touching or behaviours that crossed the line, even when it came to the state of mind. She would not allow it!
“Duo Er, relax. I only like you. There won’t be other affairs,” Ye Ling said truthfully.
Who would like his sick body? And he’s disabled too. Only Liu Duo was good to him. She liked him and wasn’t disgusted by him.
Indeed, Ye Yang stopped his work and looked at Liu Duo, stoic as always, and spoke in a serious manner, “Romance is only limited to you!”
Seeing Ye Yang look at her like that, and hearing him say so, made Liu Duo’s heart flutter uncontrollably. She looked away, cheeks blushing.
She thought, Gosh, for someone as outwardly quiet as him, who knew he was secretly a romantic! He was very moderate with his words too. It was flirting done right!
Ye Yang was satisfied now that he had made her blush. He resumed his work.
From afternoon till night, whenever she met Ye Yang’s gaze, Liu Duo could feel butterflies in her stomach. The words he had said during the day hid a confession that bypassed her defences, leaving her flattered and exuberant.
Liu Duo lay on the bed, shy all over, which was a rare sight. She lay sideways, not moving, as Ye Yang took off his outer garments, blew out the oil lamp, and climbed into bed.
He did not lie down, but instead sat by Liu Duo’s feet. Using the moonlight that shone through the window, he pulled off the blanket that covered her legs and placed his hands on her calf, massaging gently. “Is it still numb?”
Liu Duo, already surprised by his actions, once again felt her cheeks heating up. Her calf felt tingly in his grasp. She wanted to break free but couldn’t, as Ye Yang had a firm hold on it.
“No, it’s not numb anymore. It got better after I soaked it in hot water. Yang, go to sleep,” Liu Duo was especially shy right now, but very happy that he still remembered her sore legs.
She thought, This stoic guy is quite the charmer.
“Alright,” he said. He massaged some more before covering her feet with the blanket again.
Then he pulled open Liu Duo’s blanket and squeezed in to lie with her. Liu Duo moved a little bit further to the side, but then she stopped. She closed her eyes, intending to fall asleep quickly, but she couldn’t.
Ye Yang felt Liu Duo’s small movements in the dark room. The corners of his mouth twirled upwards as he smiled. He reached out and hugged her, whispering, “Go to sleep.”
Feeling Ye Yang’s strong chest against her made it even harder to sleep. Liu Duo murmured to herself, He must be doing this on purpose! Obviously I want to stay further from him, but he still came to hug me!
And he really did do it on purpose. In the afternoon, right after he said that remark, Liu Duo had been intentionally avoiding him, especially his gaze. Her cheeks, red with shyness, made her seem a lot more interesting and adorable
