Chapter 16: Sister in Law’s Suggestion (Light 18+)
After putting away the Ludo back into its place under his bed, Liu Yizan sat on the bed again and asked his sister-in-law, "Okay, now tell me what you have in mind?"
Liu Xianwei, hearing this, looked at Liu Yizan with a smile and said, "Oh, you know I have something in mind?"
Liu Yizan spread his hands and tilted his head slightly, as if to say it was obvious. "Well, I just felt you wanted to say something to me during our game but seemed hesitant, maybe."
Liu Xianwei chuckled softly, shaking her head. "Oh, I see. Well, I wasn't hesitating to tell you about what I had in mind. It's just that the game today was very exciting, and I wasn't sure if I should say it during the match or wait until afterward."
Liu Yizan nodded in understanding, leaning back slightly. "I see. Alright then, now that the game's over, tell me what's on your mind."
Seeing Liu Yizan looking at her intently, eager to know what was on her mind, Liu Xianwei took a deep breath and said, "Well, it's about Mother."
Liu Yizan raised his eyebrows, slightly confused. "Mother-in-law?" he asked, wondering if she was referring to her own late mother.
Liu Xianwei shook her head gently and clarified, "No, I'm talking about your mother."
Liu Yizan nodded in understanding and leaned forward a bit. "I see. What about her?" he asked, his tone calm but curious.
Liu Xianwei, seeing Liu Yizan leaning forward, mirrored his movement, leaning closer as well.
She gently placed her hand on his thigh and began to rub it softly, her touch deliberate yet comforting. "Don't you think she's too lonely?" she said, her voice carrying a tinge of concern. "We're together now, but Mother still lives alone."
Liu Yizan glanced briefly at her hand on his thigh, then met her eyes.
