Ye Ling put on his shoes, got out of bed, lit the oil lamp and went to open the door.
"What is it, Duo Er?"
"Nothing. Can't I just come to see you?" She leaned against the door and grinned.
He shook his head in reply. "Of course I didn't mean that. You can come see me any time."
Pffft, seeing how nervous he was as he explained made Liu Duo laugh, showing her dimples. She decided not to tease him any further and proceeded to ask, "Ling, did you take your medicine after dinner? Don't forget it."
"Yes, I have taken it. I won't forget."
"That's good! Rest well, Ling. I'm going up," she said as she tiptoed closer and gave him a kiss. "Goodnight."
She smiled, turned back and left.
He watched her go, before he reached a hand up and felt his flushed cheeks. He smiled like a dork and went back into his room.
In a good mood, Liu Duo hummed herself a tune as she walked upstairs.
