Chapter 170 - That Day
Since the day was a little warm and cozy , Lin Chen had gone out to the river , to catch some fishes . He had worked hard , and was looking forward to a sumptuous breakfast but when he returned , what he saw was that their dining table was completely empty with only a few cornmeal bread and rice gruel - though it had meat in it , compared to Su Wan"s delicious uniqueness it looked a little riff-raff .
" where is Wan Wan ?" asked Lin Chen his face dropping as he place the bucket full of fish and shrimps . Behind him was Lin Yu who walked over the dining table limping all the while , he too stared at the simple breakfast and sighed - but compared to Lin Chen who didn"t think before he speaks - Lin Yu already had it figure out why Su Wan was late so he didn"t say anything and limped towards the bath house for a quick bath .
He was particularly unhappy seeing his hands and fingers covered with fishy slime . It was just so gooey !Lin Yu hated catching fish the most , working in farm and weeding was alright but he hated it when he had to pick slippery slimy things with his hands . His mood was already low and he didn"t want to hear something that might make him taste vinegar so early in the morning .
He refused to feel sour ! And if his stupid brother wanted to ruin his jolly mood by asking such stupid questions than he might as well leave that dumba.s.s behind .
Lin Yan saw Lin Yu limping to the bath house with an ugly expression -he didn"t know whether it was because he had to go there fishing or because he had to go with Lin Chen but when he thought about it carefully , he realised that maybe both of the reasons had a role to play in it .
He didn"t say anything thought , now that he knew Lin Yu? a little better than before , Lin Yan? was certain? that There was no way Lin Chen would be able to bully their youngest brother , in fact with his third brother"s straightforward manner , it wouldn"t be surprising if he gets bullied in return .
" She hasn"t woke up yet " said Lin Yan though he made it simple , both Lin Rui and him flushed a little as the memory of them walking around her room and inevitably listening to her loud moaning surged in their minds . The house "s walls weren"t thick thus when they walk past others room there was no way avoiding to listen to what was happening inside , and in Su Wan"s and their eldest brother"s case - their voices were a bit - ahem , too loud .
Just as Lin Yu expected Lin Chen "s face fell and he immediately sat down on the chair with a grumpy expression . Lin Yan and Lin Rui exchanged a glance with each other but didn"t say anything , they knew why Lin Chen was upset . Though the brothers understood it well that Su Wan was their shared wife , all of them had this sudden urge to posses her despite knowing that they can"t monopolise her alone , nor do they can keep her with them either .
Their brothers have just as much right to touch and hold Su Wan as much as they did . Though even though it hurts them , they needed to rein in their possessive desires . Lin Yan and Lin Rui had no trouble controlling themselves after all the two of them had much more mature mind but Lin Chen and Lin Yu were too reckless and they had a hard time controlling their emotions .
Lin Chen too didn"t know why he was feeling upset and jealous -? wasn"t he doing much better before ? Why was he suddenly obsessing over how will see Su Wan the first person in the morning ?
However , he wasn"t unreasonable . Though he was jealous he didn"t make a scene , he pulled his chipped bowl towards himself and started eating his porridge silently . Its alright , he comforted himself . There was no need for him to be upset , after all Su Wan was his wife too and when he gets his chance to sleep with her , he will punish her for good - for making him jealous like this .
Thus , Lin Chen got over his foul mood just as quickly as he became upset and finished his breakfast before rushing off to check on their fields .
Lin Yan "…" weren"t you unhappy right now ? Then why are you smiling like a fool ?
Even Lin Rui was shocked but he simply shook his head and smiled " Third brother is really a happy go lucky person , isn"t he second brother ?"
" Yeah he is " said Lin Yan taking his eyes off Lin Chen "s back "however , I do hope that he remains like this forever "
Lin Chen was indeed a jolly person who hardly ever get mad but when he did Lin Yan shook his head - the last time Lin Chen got mad was on the day Lin Yu had that accident . Lin Yan "s eyes darkened at the memory of the incident and he sighed - taking out the pieces of meat from his porridge and placed them in Lin Yu "s bowl . After all he couldn"t do anything but giving these small happiness to Lin Yu was still in his hands .
Lin Rui saw his brother picking up the pieces of meat from his bowl and putting them in Lin Yu "s bowl . He understood that somehow , their conversation had reminded his second brother of the day when their third brother got angry and lost his cheerful smile for the first time .
He hesitated though he didn"t mean it , he somehow ended up upsetting his second brother . Thus , Lin Rui picked a fatty piece of meat from his own bowl and put it in Lin Yan"s bowl .
Surprised , Lin Yan looked up and looked at Lin Rui with a questioning expression .
" I"m not hungry " said Lin Rui with a small smile though he wasn"t a good liar and his ears turned red " help me eat it second brother "
Lin Yan looked at the fatty piece of meat then looked at Lin Rui who was blushing slightly and chuckled but didn"t return the piece of meat back to Lin Rui " En , its delicious "
