Liu Duo gave him a push, "Little Mo, what are you doing lying here?"

"I'm napping. What else?" He glared at her like he would an idiot, and then he closed his eyes.

Huh, what's this? Liu Duo furrowed her brows and sat up, looked at him angrily, mouth twitching, before lying back down and moving further inside, away from him.

A while later, Ye Mo curled his lips when Liu Duo didn't chase him out. He lay sideways, staring at the back of her head, "Liu Duo..."

"..." Liu Duo kept her eyes shut, ignoring him.

"Liu Duo..."

He called again, but Liu Duo ignored him as she continued on with her nap, so he kept disturbing her, like a mosquito would.

Irritated, she turned over and grabbed him by the ear, "Mo, stop buzzing about! Whatever you want to say, spit it out!"

"I didn't eat much for lunch, so there's nothing to spit," Ye Mo retorted.

She only pulled on him harder, "Little Mo, you're asking for a beating, aren't you? You must be so free to come to disturb my sleep!"

"I just want to remind you about something," he reached his arms out and took hold of the hand that was previously pulling his ear.

Liu Duo eyed him, motioning for him to get it over with quickly so that she could nap.

He cleared his throat, and his eyes practically sparkling. "When it's our turn to sleep together, I'll give you your prize. Be prepared."

He knew she had finished menstruating, so he was excited.

Liu Duo thought about the reward he had mentioned and remembered the excuse he had given a few days ago to share a bed with her.

She rolled her eyes and laid down with her back facing him.

So far, she had only consummated with Ye Liu, and Ye Ling was too young, but the other brothers were men in their twenties. She found them quite desirable.

But this one got on her nerves, so she didn't want to make it easy for him. She wanted to see him flustered.

Ye Mo wasn't mad that she didn't speak. His days as a monk were coming to an end, so he only had to wait it out. He thought she must have gotten shy.

Liu Duo, who wasn't facing him, felt it was strange that Ye Mo wasn't throwing a temper. Had he somehow changed?

Her lips twitched and she yawned, closing her eyes once more before drifting into sleep.

On the other hand, Liu Quanfu, Liu Liushi, and Liu Ran sat in a room. No one spoke among the tension.

"Ran Er, when you get to your sister's place, you must be obedient. Don't anger your brothers-in-law..." Liu Liushi eventually broke the silence, tears overflowing.

Liu Ran nodded quietly.

He was thoroughly disappointed in his mother. He thought that her running away with him had been a sign of rebellion, but it didn't seem to last. His father was much worse. Liu Ran was totally disappointed in them

He was exhausted. He took off his shoes and laid on the bed. He wasn't very strong and, after losing so much blood, dizziness came easily. Lying down would make him feel better.

Right then, Liu Quanfu said, "Ran Er, the medicine's cooled down. Do drink it soon."

This medicine was meant to regulate his blood flow. He had cracked his head earlier, resulting in blood loss, and that had dealt a great blow to his already weak body.

Liu Quanfu passed the bowl of medicine to him and sat him up to drink.

Liu Ran didn't mind the bitter taste and finished it in a matter of moments, "Dad, mom, I want to rest a while."

With that he laid down again with his back towards them. He didn't want to talk anymore.
