Chapter 328 - Too Sweet
Chapter 328: Too Sweet
“Sure, thanks, Sister Liu Duo,” he gave her a frank smile.
Those who were well-acquainted with Liu Duo and the Ye brothers would, of course, accept their kindness. Li Wazi was also waiting for Liu Duo to give birth to a bride for his son.
When they arrived in the village, she got down from the ox-cart but didn’t follow everyone home. Instead, she wrapped several pastries in baking paper and went looking for Ye Yang.
Ye Yang was working at the farm with two casual workers, weeding, digging, and fertilizing. They worked in silence, without a single conversation, unlike the workers on other family farms who talked as they worked. This was mainly because of Ye Yang’s icy cold personality. If the employer wouldn’t talk, the workers wouldn’t start.
Liu Duo spotted Ye Yang from afar and quickened her steps, “Yang.”
He heard Liu Duo’s song-like voice and looked over. His features softened.
When she approached him, he asked, “Why did you come?”
“I missed you!” She grinned, and winked at him.
Ye Yang carried his hoe and left the field. He walked over to her and asked softly, head lowered, “How much do you miss me?”
Gosh, stoic Yang could actually ask questions like this? Cheekily, she said, “Very, very much!”
Yang had one hand carrying his hoe and the other holding her small hand. He brought her to sit under a shady tree.
“Yang, I just bought these in town. They taste really nice, so I thought you’d like some,” She unwrapped the oil paper and fed him one piece of pastry.Read more chapter on AllNovel
Yang wiped his hands and prepared to take it himself. He wasn’t used to other people feeding him.
But Liu Duo wouldn’t let him, “Yang, just open your mouth. Ah…”
She opened her own mouth to demonstrate. She wanted to do things her way.
He saw her eyes blink purposefully and knew she was up to mischief. He looked around to check for any onlookers before he obeyed her and opened his mouth to be fed.
Grinning, Liu Duo slipped the pastry in his mouth, waiting for him to take a bite. But when he was about to, she hastily withdrew her hand along with the food, such that he didn’t get to eat anything.
She laughed haughtily when her prank succeeded. Ye Yang didn’t get emotional, having pampered her so much. He admired her smile, and then took hold of her wrist, directing her to deliver the pastry to his mouth.
And he ate slowly, leaving a comment, “Too sweet!”
He wasn’t a big fan of sweet food.
Liu Duo had brought two each to share with him, but since he stopped after having one, she ate another one as well.
She shared the rest with the two casual workers to let them have a taste. However, they kept their share of the pastries sealed in oil paper to give to their kids at home.
“Yang, I told Miss Fang I’m not going to the capital,” she returned to sit under the tree, leaning against Ye Yang.
“Oh,” was his reply.
He had no objection, whether she went or not! However, deep down, he hoped she wouldn’t go. For one thing, it was too far. Secondly, he wouldn’t be able to see her for a long time. Now that she had said she was not going, he was overjoyed.
She placed her head on his shoulder as she looked at the people working nearby, “Yang, have you thought about going elsewhere, visiting other places and cultures, something like a trip?”
“No,” he gave a straight answer.
Then he looked at her, “Little Duo, wherever you want to go, we’ll follow you.”
They were ordinary farmers who had never thought of leisure. They were happy just to have food to eat.
