Ye Ling shyly coughed once as he was being stared at by Liu Duo, and reminded her what they were here for. "Duo Er, the water's getting cold."

With that, he even turned away to avert her gaze. For the first time in his life, a woman was staring at his body.

This was so embarrassing!

Liu Duo looked at Ye Ling, who was keeping to his shyness. "Ling, help me take off my clothes."

Neither of them was wearing undergarments, only the clothes on their backs. They would be completely naked once they undid the straps.

With that being said, she took his arm and placed it on the knot, waiting for him to do the honors.

Ye Ling still wasn't willing to look at her. He felt around for the strap and pulled it off.

Liu Duo was about to say something when they heard footsteps outside. They were stupefied. Who could it be at this hour?

Shouldn't he be asleep? What could he be doing? Using the outhouse?

Liu Duo didn't want to guess. It was either Ye Yang, Ye Liu, or Ye Mo anyway!

She tied her hair up with a band and took off her clothes. "Ling, the water will be getting cold soon. Let's get in."

She took his hand and the two stepped into the bathtub. The water level rose and it overflowed.

Outside, Ye Mo had been asleep but he was roused awake by Hei Xiaomeng's barking. Since he was up anyway, he thought about using the outhouse, so he got out of bed and went downstairs.

Holding an oil lamp, he came downstairs to find light coming from the bathroom. He quickly marched over to check on things.

As he approached, he heard water splashing.

"Who's in there?"

He didn't believe a thief could have broken in, because Hei Xiaomeng would have dealt with that. Their house was also surrounded by high walls with sharp ends. No one would dare to climb over.

But Yang and Liu couldn't possibly be using the bathroom. Even if they needed hot water they would take some to their room. He knew this much.

Ye Ling was sleeping with Liu Duo tonight, but he guessed they wouldn't have any use for hot water since Ling was quite shy and probably wouldn't demand consummation. So who could it be inside there?

He found it stranger and stranger the more he thought about it. Since he didn't get any replies, he was about to barge in when he registered Liu Duo's voice.

"Mo, it's me!"

"Darling? What are you doing in there?"

It was the middle of the night. Why wasn't she sleeping, but instead taking a bath? What's going on?

Liu Duo rolled her eyes. Ye Mo asked an unnecessary question when the answer was already right in front of him. This was the bathroom, so of course she was taking a bath!

When Ye Ling heard Mo's voice, he got so embarrassed, no words could describe it.

Liu Duo, who was already sitting opposite Ye Ling in the tub, saw the changes on his face and chuckled. "I'm bathing, of course!"

With a push, she splashed some water onto Ye Ling's torso.

"Hadn't you taken a bath? Why do you need another one?" Ye Mo asked again. It just didn't make sense.

He didn't consider consummation.

There was a moment's pause, then he spoke again without waiting for Liu Duo's response. "Wife, could it be that you didn't wash properly the first time, so you came for a second bath? I suppose we'll have to take a bath with you next time, to help you rub your back and whatnot...then you won't be wasting water a second time!"

That seemed plausible. That way they would have good reason to take a couple's bath with her. He really wanted to do so.

A smirk appeared on his face as he pictured it in his head. He was really looking forward to that!

Liu Duo's lips twitched at the idea. She knew exactly what the fool was thinking about!
