With the lamp blown out, and moonlight shining through the window, the room remained in a patch of darkness, so nothing could be seen clearly.

Liu Duo looked at the blurry figure of Ye Ling rummaging for the blanket and then stayed in bed, not knowing. Her lips turned upwards, and she squeezed under his blanket, embracing his thin body.

He was not as strong as Ye Yang, nor as tough as Ye Liu and Ye Mo, but he was still a man after all, so he was quite solid.

Ye Ling felt electrified by the closeness as his body shook a little. Blood rushed to his head and ears, and his heart beat faster than before. It was a good thing he had taken his medicine after dinner. Otherwise he would have suffered another attack.

It came too suddenly. He was barely ready. When they had kissed during the day, he had been fully in the know.

This night was the first time he had been embraced in bed like this, and by his wife no less! He could feel her body warmth through the thin undergarment she wore.

He shook once, and she chortled, "Ling, why're you trembling? I'm not electricity."

"Electricity? What's that?" He replied. He heard her laugh and managed to calm down, but his heart was still beating quickly. Liu had told him that he had to adapt and not get too emotional.

Liu Duo laughed again. Electricity didn't exist here, so it was natural that he didn't know about it. "Oh, nothing. Go to sleep, Ling."

"Oh," he replied blankly.

How could he sleep with her hugging him like this? His heart beat non-stop, and the flushing of his cheeks had increased and not reduced.

He could smell the faint fragrance from Liu Duo's body, stirring up the heat within him. He found this unbearable, and was curious about this strange feeling. Somewhere in his body, he was undergoing some changes, and he became even more shy.

Liu Duo leaned on his chest and listened to his quick heartbeats. She knew he had gotten shy.

A while later, Ye Ling was no longer sleepy. He gently moved his body, afraid of waking Liu Duo.

Liu Duo hadn't fallen asleep. She could feel his careful, considerate movements.

"Ling, you're not sleeping?"

He thought he must have woken her, so he quietly said, "Duo Er, did I wake you? I'm so sorry."

Liu Duo looked at the confusion on his face and laughed softly, "No, you didn't. I haven't slept yet."

She moved her body too. Remaining in the same position for a certain time was quite tiring. "Ling, since neither of us can sleep, why not let me check whether you have improved or not?"

She looked up and, before he could react, kissed him on the lips. She realised she would prefer kissing him, because she held the leading position. Ye Liu controlled everything whilst Ye Yang was slowly catching up in terms of dominance.

As for Ye Mo, she didn't want to kiss him at all! All he did was bite, and he was very domineering too!

After a few rounds of practice, Ye Ling had progressed from his innocent beginnings, and now he knew how to respond. But he did it very carefully and gently, not exerting dominance at all. He was unique in this aspect.

He liked his intimacy with Liu Duo. He liked how his surprise beginning had led to a serious development.

Slowly, he inched towards her while neither of them even noticed it. He hadn't known where to place his hands at first, but now he found them circled around Liu Duo's waist.

When the kiss ended, Liu Duo whispered a remark in his ear, "Ling, you've improved. Keep it up. I like you like this."

He snapped open his eyes when he heard this. Liu Duo was right in front of him, though he couldn't see her clearly. He gave a hoarse reply, "As long as you like it, Duo Er. I... I'll keep it up."

Liu Duo laughed. She thought he would be speechless and just nod, because he was so shy. This was unexpected.
