Chapter 425 Who are you going to make things difficult for
Can you guys read a/n? I need to make things clear once and for all.
Immediately, Ye Liu's face flushed to the tip of his side partitioned bangs like he has been thrown on a hot pan, with his hand that was raised to block his face, he sputtered, " What are you talking about? What .. when did I say that I missed her?"
Ye Liu tried to carefully remember if he said something like that but then he couldn't think of anything, that was how he knew that he hasn't said anything like that, " You should not say lies like that Mi," with his face still flushed he continued somewhat angrily. " I mean I never once said that I miss Dong Dong, did I brother Li?"
Shen Li raised his head in surprise, he didn't know why the ball dropped in his lap all of sudden but he still replied to what Ye Liu has asked him, " He is right, he never said that he misses Dong Dong."
" See? You hear that?" Ye Liu immediately puffed out his chest as he pointed to Chen Mi, with a triumphant smile he looked at the latter who smirked causing a bad feeling to rise in his heart and sure enough, he heard Chen Mi say, " I am not talking about you saying that you missed wife, I am talking about the time when you locked yourself inside the inn's room, that night you forgot to lock the door and I saw you holding a handkerchief that wife carries with her. You were rubbing your face on it and saying that you wanted to see her soon, have you forgotten that?"
" Mi, you! You were peeking?" Ye Liu didn't know that he forgot to lock the door but he did sense that someone was watching him that night through the gap that was left because of the open door. However, when he went to check up on it, he didn't find anyone which was why he thought that he was just thinking too much about it and threw that incident in the back of his head, to think that he was caught by Chen Mi!
" I wasn't peeking, you left your door open, there was nothing I could do about it," harrumphed Chen Mi. " It will explain why you are always in such a tetchy mood these days, you are missing wife and because you can't see her, you are letting your frustration out on others, aren't you?"
" You … I will see you!" Ye Liu wanted to say a lot of things but with his secret out in the open, all he could do was bury his face in the water and mutter under his breath about how he was going to teach Chen Mi a good lesson sooner or later.
" I will be waiting for you to see me, blegh!" Chen Mi pulled a funny face as he looked at Ye Liu with his tongue rolling out. Of course, it would have been fine if he hadn't done that because as soon as he did it, Ye Liu stood up in the water and chased after him. " You little come here, you are the reason little bun is so lawless, he takes after you! Just because wife is not here, you are making fun of me, you sure have gotten daring, come here!"
" Come, Come! Come and catch me!" shouted Chen Mi as he too rushed out of the hot spring.
" Why didn't you stop the two of them?" asked Chu Chang as he watched Chen Mi and Ye Liu running out after donning a robe. " They might really hurt each other."
Shen Li smiled as he sipped on his hot milk. " We are on vacation right? So, the eldest brother is also on a holiday and honestly, I have learned that it's better for them to fight it off than me trying to interfere."

" Oww, Oww, slowly … it hurts, Brother Li," Chen Mi who was caught and later on spanked by Ye Liu like a naughty child winced as Shen Li applied hot brick on his peach that was now swollen like a melon.
" Why did you have to tease, Liu?" asked Shen Li as he warmed the brick on the burning brazier and applied it to Chen Mi's butt. " You knew that he has a hard hand right?"
Though Ye Liu never really let loose of his temper when he was with Yu Dong that was just a front, he was very much still the same as he was when he used to fight it off with the villagers like a shrew. It was just that he didn't want to be disliked by Yu Dong, so he pretended to be nice and cordial with a hint of shyness but now that Yu Dong wasn't here —— hehe.
" How was I supposed to know that he will beat me so much?" sobbed Chen Mi as he shook his head. " I am going to complain to my wife once we go back home, I really will! Look at how badly he has beaten me, I am afraid I won't be able to sit straight in the carriage! Just wait till we go back, I will tell wife how I was treated by brother Liu and have her spank him too! Bet she will hit harder than him."
Shen Li who suddenly remembered the night before they left the village felt his face flush as a sting shot through his back up to his spine, Yu Dong did hit hard. Even when she was controlling her strength.
Chen Mi who realised that Shen Li wasn't applying the heat on his back, raised his head and looked at Shen Li seeing that Shen Li was in a daze, he called his name," Brother Li? What's wrong?"
" Oh, it's nothing," said Shen Li as he pressed the hot brick wrapped in cloth back on Chen Mi's bum. " I was just thinking that you shouldn't try Liu right now, with no Dong Dong around he will really make things difficult for you."
" Humph," snorted Chen Mi. " That's only until we return home and I make things difficult for him."
" Who are you going to make things difficult for?" asked a voice before Shen Li could respond, surprised Chen Mi looked up and almost shrieked when he saw Ye Liu standing at the threshold of his room with a devil-like smile.
