Sure, Go Ahead!

Ye Liu gloated non-stop upon seeing their exchange.

Ye Mo grew frustrated by his brother's behavior. He didn't get what was so funny.

Ye Yang kept to himself as he ate his food. He felt Ye Mo deserved to be shut out by Liu Duo!

It was his fault for wearing her out anyway!

Ye Ling passed some vegetables to her and said gently, "Duo Er, we're out of fruit and snacks, so tell us what you want to eat. Liu and Mo will go get them."

In other words, Ye Ling was finding ways to help his brother seek forgiveness.

Liu Duo leaned sideways and said to him, "Actually, I'd rather have you."

She knew Ye Ling was helping Ye Mo, so she teased him on purpose.

Ye Ling easily went bright red in the ears. Softly, he replied, "Sure, go ahead."

He thought they wouldn't hear his whispers.

But everyone sitting around him certainly did. They weren't very far anyway.

"..." Had she heard him correctly?

Was this a sign that he was ready to become an adult?
