Ye Liu smiled when Ye Ling came in. "Ling, Little Duo's up early today."
He had only gone upstairs for half an hour and Liu Duo was already awake? That was quick.
Usually, Liu Duo would sleep in and would not get up for another one or two hours.
Since Liu had already started cooking, Ye Ling helped with other chores like cleaning up the chopping board. "Duo Er woke up after a sneeze. We talked for a while and then she did not want to sleep anymore. She said she would nap later."
He told him everything but withheld the part about Liu Duo requesting him to lie down with her, which he had shyly declined.
He thought about how useless he was for being too shy to accompany his own wife. He did not want his brothers to joke about him, despite knowing that his brothers would never do that.
After a good wash, Liu Duo came back indoors. She sat down and let her chin rest on her palms, observing Ye Yang and Liu Ran.
