Chapter 27 Part 1: Sore Thighs, Two Brothers in Her Head
"It hurts..."
When she got out of bed, a soft groan escaped her. Her willowlike brows knit tightly as she looked down at her lower body, her expression showing discomfort.
"Auntie?"
Ye Shengge still didn't move. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke. "You..."
"Are you hungry?"
Li Xi asked again, coldly, steadying herself on the bedside table as she struggled to rise.
Seeing this, Ye quickly got up, circled around the bed to her side, and reached out to support her. "Auntie, careful..."
Slap!
She smacked his hand away, disgust flashing across her eyes as she said in a low voice, "Don't touch me...!"
"Put your clothes on!"
She glanced, for just an instant, at the very shaft that had ravaged her through the night, then jerked her gaze away in a fluster, bracing against the wall step by step toward the wardrobe to take out a nightgown.
Ye hurriedly circled the room and found the nightclothes he had tossed aside the night before.
After Li Xi dressed, she looked back at the wreckage on the bedsheets and let out a light sigh.
"Tss... it hurts..."
"Auntie, why don't I help you walk?" Ye came forward immediately, face full of concern. "It's just... I... at the very least, I should take responsibility for what I did to you..."
"From the look of your energy, I take it you're not hungry." Li Xi glanced at him and said evenly, "In that case, please leave. Now."
"I..."
"Leave. Now." This time her tone was considerably heavier.
After a brief hesitation, Ye said, "No. I'm hungry."
"..."
She gave no answer. Li Xi moved toward the door, leaning on the wall, shuffling with unsteady steps.
Ye couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward and swept her up in his arms.
"You !"
Her brows opened wide in shock; she hadn't expected he would dare to do such a thing.
She tried to push him away, but Ye said firmly, "I'm the one who left Auntie unable to get out of bed. I should at least take responsibility for that."
He held her tight and wouldn't let go no matter how she struggled.
In the end, her hands fell still, and she sagged powerlessly into his arms.
He carried her to the living room sofa and sat down. "Auntie, please rest. I'll make breakfast."
"You shouldn't be walking. Let me handle it."
"..."
She said nothing. Ye rose and went to the kitchen.
After he left, Li Xi bowed her head, her delicate shoulders trembling slightly.
Tears welled and fell despite her effort to hold them back.
She wept soundlessly.
"I'm sorry... Xia An... I'm sorry... A-Tian..."
She had no face to meet her husband or her daughter.
If she could persuade herself barely that since her husband had been gone for years and her long widowhood was a matter of sentiment, then slipping with another man might still be something she could rationalize in her heart...
But doing this with her son-in-law was an utter and complete betrayal of Xia An of her precious daughter.
From Ye's behavior, she could tell he truly did like Xia An: he had knelt and held a prostrating posture for a full hour without moving no one could do that easily.
But for that very reason, her heart was wrenched even more.
She didn't know how to face her daughter though Xia An had school, when she woke that morning and saw that Ye and Li Xi weren't around, wouldn't she wonder? Wouldn't she check her mother's room?
Their deeds had probably been discovered by her... How could she face her daughter...!
"Mm..."
After a low sob escaped and she'd cried quietly for a while, Li Xi calmed herself down.
Having just taken the bleakest view, she tried the optimistic one perhaps Xia An hadn't noticed anything?
Sigh... That seemed unlikely...
Before long, Ye finished cooking breakfast for two.
He carried the plates to the table, and once they'd sat down, Li Xi spoke.
"About last night... I can choose not to pursue it." She kept her head lowered, voice a little weak.
Ye blinked, then brightened inwardly.
It worked!
"But..." Li Xi slowly raised her eyes. "You must treat Xia An well."
"If you don't, I will make you regret it...!"
A thread of true killing intent flashed in her eyes, and Ye couldn't help shivering.
He quickly promised, "Don't worry I'll treat Xia An well. And what happened tonight will absolutely never be known to anyone but us!"
"...Good."
She smoothed her expression, lowered her head again, and murmured, "Let's leave it at that."
"We'll treat what happened today... as if it never happened."
...
"I'm home mm..."
After school, Xia An called out reflexively, but the living room was empty.
Normally, if Mom were home, she'd be in the living room.
One glance at the shoe cabinet showed no shoes Ye would wear, and she relaxed a little.
She hesitated, then turned toward her mother's room.
Stopping at the door, she raised her hand and knocked softly, asking carefully, "Mom... are you awake?"
She didn't open the door.
She was afraid afraid that if she opened it, she would see Ye and her mother still joined on the bed.
Even if Ye's shoes were gone, even if there wasn't a sound in the apartment... she couldn't help but be afraid.
That mother who loved Dad so much, who loved her so much... having passionate sex with Ye-gege...
Unimaginable and yet, last night, it had been laid bare before her eyes...!
Xia An pressed her lips together.
For some reason, before anger, before sorrow... the first emotion to rise was jealousy.
She had met Ye first. She was Ye's girlfriend.
How did Mom get to, after getting drunk, go and do it over and over with Ye obviously he was imagining doing it with me! Mom...
What a cunning thief...
That thought wouldn't stop popping into Xia An's mind.
Realizing it, she panicked shaking her head, patting her cheeks.
No, no! What was she thinking!
Those thoughts... it was like saying she... wanted... to be penetrated by Ye !
She... mm...!
Her mind was a tangle.
She loved her brother.
But now her head was full of Ye.
But not liking brother anymore that was impossible! Even now, when she thought of him, her heart fluttered.
But when she thought of Ye... her breath grew heavier.
Both brothers... she liked them both...!
Realizing that, her eyes trembled, and she smiled wryly.
What was this, making her seem... just like her scummy brother...
Honestly, the two of us... really are siblings...
She knocked twice more. Li Xi didn't respond.
Xia An quietly opened the door and peeked in.
The room was tidy, and Li Xi lay properly on the bed as if deeply asleep.
Whew...
Xia An let out a quiet breath, closed the door, and returned to the living room.
