" Liu are you in there? I'm coming in" Yu Dong who knocked on Ye Liu's room knew that the door was open, so she pushed it open and went inside. Ye Liu's room was simple it didn't have any extra stuff compared to her who had to take the walk of shame and put many ' immoral and dirty tools 'in the shed. Though she was curious never asked whether the original owner used those tools or not, it would have been too embarrassing to ask ' hey, did your wife use that shiny big jade-' whatever.
This was not the time to think about something like that, she walked around Ye Liu's bed and sat on the edge of his bed. Just as she sat down and was going to talk to him, Ye Liu shifted and turned his back on her.
' err... This was kind of embarrassing' Yu Doing scratched her chin, and then sat properly on the bed, after taking off her slippers " Liu are you angry at me?"
" no" came his muffled reply from under the blanket, she didn't know how he was able to make out when she came inside and sat on his bed when he has rolled himself like a burrito " How can I have the audacity to get angry on you wife?"
' okay wasn't this the classic line that a girlfriend says when she is mad?' Yu Dong sighed, she might be inexperienced but she did know a few things, she tried to tug on Ye Liu's blanket but the latter held on to it tightly. Knowing that it was futile to force him to come out, she gently patted his shoulder and started her explanation " what you heard I didn't mean it, I have already promised that no matter what happens I will stay by your side and I meant that, I won't abandon you"
" you don't have to explain to me," said Ye Liu still speaking in his hoarse, snivelling, muffled voice " I do understand though, you have to take responsibility for us who are not your husbands and even take in little bun as your son when you didn't give birth to him. I understand that just because we are your responsibility, it's not necessary that you will like us"
Yu Dong didn't know what to say, yes, she never got closer to Shen Li, Ye Liu and Chen Mi but that wasn't because she didn't like them. She did, compared to the weak, pretty face mers they were more you get aesthetic as a modern woman she couldn't stomach those mers who were skinny and weak as a woman and acted like those mean girls in the movies. However, she stayed away from the three mers because she knew what the previous owner did to them.
The way she touched them wasn't less than sexual molestation and abuse.
She also understood that Shen Li and Ye Liu were traumatised because of her continuous abuse and became sexually inactive. Their bodies won't react even when they were touched by the previous owner, or else Mother Yu wouldn't have brought Chen Mi though the latter wasn't as traumatised as Shen Li and Ye Liu he too was more or less forced by the original owner. His marriage was forcefully consummated and there was no such thing as love between the two of them.
She was just trying to be considerate of their traumas. She wanted to wait until they fully accepted her as their wife and heal from their past traumatic incidents before she took their relationship to another stage.
As an adult, she wasn't oblivious about her responsibility as their wife, she just didn't want to hurt them any more than they already were.
" Liu, look at me" began Yu Dong but the latter just shook his head and didn't let go of his blanket. Yu Dong was incensed, she was blamed for not paying enough attention and now that she wanted to talk with him, he was ignoring her. What was this? Blame and ignore?
She gripped a handful of Ye Liu's blanket and forcefully snatched it before she didn't want to be aggressive but if Ye Liu thought that she was being distant from him and the others because she didn't like them then it was her responsibility to explain it properly.
Yu Dong's sudden move was too much, no matter how strong Ye Liu was he was no match for Yu Dong's strength as a woman. The blanket was snatched from him and like a little rabbit, he stared at Yu Dong in shock with tears hanging on his fan-like lashes.
" Why are you crying ?" asked Yu Dong, she couldn't help but think whether her words were indeed too much for him to handle. She felt a bit guilty, then she extended her hand and gently swiped the tears off his eyes and cheeks " Liu, I only said those things because I was worried that the villagers would implicate you, Chen Mi and Shen Li in the trouble they created. That's why I have to pretend you act ruthlessly, I didn't mean it. But if my words hurt you, then I will apologise okay? I'm sorry. You all are my family, of course, you all are precious to me, nothing will change that. It's the truth, I am not lying, so stop crying "
Ye Liu shook his head, he knew that Yu Dong was speaking the truth but he was just too surprised by her and then all his insecurities came fumbling out, as Yu Dong gently coaxed him and wiped his tears, he couldn't help but sob " don't - don't treat me so well, don't be so kind"
Yu Dong couldn't help but feel helpless, she lightly patted his cheek and joked " if I am not kind to you who will I be kind to? You are my husband, of course, I have to be nice to you"
Ye Liu who was suddenly called ' husband' by her couldn't help but cry even harder " if you continue to be so gentle I will fall for you more and wouldn't be able to let you go! so don't !"
