His words were usually few and far between, so once in a blue moon, when he spoke more than he used to, Liu Duo was always caught off guard.

Normal, bland statements seemed so enticing when he said them.

Liu Duo blushed when she noticed her own image reflected in his eyes.

She shyly looked away from him, saying, "Yang, there's one song lyric that goes in line with my current mood."

"Really?"

Ye Yang wondered what it could be as he observed his wife's reddening cheeks.

"Heart beats fast..."

His eyes formed an obvious smile, but Liu Duo, who was busy being embarrassed, did not see that.

Otherwise, she could have cheered excitedly.

"Let's go." Ye Yang was in an especially good mood, holding on to her hand as they marched onwards.

Along the way, Liu Duo's cheeks remained red. She felt that Ye Yang had gotten really skilled with flirting.

Even if he stayed silent, him looking her way was enough to make her blush.

"Little Duo, do you feel hot?"

He noticed his wife's cheeks had gotten red. Was it the heat?

He loosened his hold on her hand and placed his against her forehead, blocking a bit of sun.

Er...

Liu Duo was stunned for a moment before she cleared her throat. "Yes, the heat's got to me."

She went on to fan herself with her hands in an attempt to relieve herself from the heat.

She would not admit that she happened to be thrown off guard by the man's flirting. That, in addition to the heat, was why her cheeks were so red!

"My fault," Ye Yang said out of the blue. "I should have brought the umbrella!"

His wife would always take the umbrella with her on outings. And yet he made the mistake of not bringing it along that day.

Liu Duo had forgotten about it too.

Ye Yang had been waiting for her at the entrance. She did not want him to wait long so, after a quick wash, she forgot about it.

"That's alright. A little bit of sunlight is good for you." She smiled, holding his hand once more. "Don't beat yourself up, Yang. Let's go, we'll be fine when we get to Aunt Ye's house."

With that said, she took bigger strides and dragged Ye Yang along.

The wife might have dismissed the matter, but Ye Yang silently pledged not to be so careless next time.

Liu and Ling would not have allowed such a reckless deed to happen!

Mo, on the other hand, was a scatterbrain just like him.

When they arrived at Aunt Ye's house, the woman welcomed them passionately.

"My girl, I was just getting ready to go to your place." Aunt Ye very kindly held Liu Duo's hand.

She turned to Ye Yang and the gifts he brought. "Yang, why have you brought so much meat? It's expensive. You should keep it for yourselves."

She did not know that Ye Yang had picked up hunting again.

"I hunted them," he replied before taking the meat to the kitchen.

Hunted?

Dazed for a moment, Aunt Ye frowned and asked, "Girl, I thought Yang stopped hunting. Why has he continued?"

She had been against Ye Yang's hunting activities from the very beginning. It could not be helped before, given their household's previous economic status.

Liu Duo consoled Aunt Ye when she saw the worry and anxiety written across her face. "Aunt Ye, Yang won't be hunting again after this time. I won't let him, even if he wants to!"
