Ye Mo carried the basin into the room, let Liu Duo wash her hands, and then tossed the water outside. All the while, neither of them spoke.
After she washed her hands, Liu Duo laid sideways on the bed in silence. Ye Mo closed the door after he entered got into the bed and hugged Liu Duo again.
This time she knew better. She let him hug her, as long as he did not force himself on her. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
As he hugged her, he felt she was no longer struggling or resisting. He chuckled silently, as though he had gotten what he wanted.
But he could not sleep. He felt smug and restless, and it was a great feeling.
Some time went by. Liu Duo was breathing steadily, already asleep, while Ye Mo's eyes were wide open, unable to sleep. He suddenly felt that hugging his wife was filled with both happiness and agony!
He held Liu Duo's hand a few more times to resolve his biological urges. She did not react at all, busy dreaming.
