What's There To Be Afraid Of?

Ye Ling kept his mouth shut tightly. Liu Duo raised a brow and mumbled, What was so extraordinary that he can't let me know?

Although she found it strange that he wouldn't tell her, she decided to not interrogate him any further. Since he refused to speak, then she would leave it at that. She wouldn't really get angry anyway.

She tiptoed and whispered into his ear, "Ling, if you won't say, then I won't ask anymore."

And with that, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Liu Duo would not give up questioning him.

He got too happy too quickly. Liu Duo later added, "But Ling, you've upset me, so I'm going to punish you!"

And then two thin arms wrapped around his neck and made him lower his head. She punished him by kissing his lips softly, but not as gently as before. Ye Ling did not know how to react other than to accept it passively.

Moments later, Little Lian's voice rang out, "Sister Duo, there's..."

Her words died on her tongue.
