It’s a familiar presumption that in monogamous relationships only two people are involved. It’s not wrong. Traditionally, there are only two people in a relationship.
But...
We tend to forget a small detail. We live in an age where no relationship can stay as just between two people. Especially, we can’t escape from those lightbulbs.
And the praiseworthy thing about these lightbulbs is; they have that supernatural ability to pretend like thin air. And when they feel like ruining the moment-which is almost always- they shine brighter than the sun itself.
Second young master was not a born lightbulb but this was the first time in his life he felt good about being that so-called ’third wheel.’
The previous night he’d been super drunk and to escape from Mother Ye’s wrath he decided to take refuge at his brother’s place. He barely managed to stagger up to the couch in the hall and fell in a deep slumber.
Poor second young master Ye was sleeping on a couch that couldn’t even fit his tall frame and that too without a blanket over him. He was cold with a slight sprain in his neck and that shooting pain in his head due to the hangover was already miserable for him.
But...
To top his misery, he was woken up at dawn by his brother and sister-in-law’s flirting.
There are times when a lightbulb would love to enjoy these moments. But for our single Ye Jun, these moments were as distressful as they were congenial. He was deciding whether to be happy that his brother was willing to try being honest or cry that he was being so charming and endearing right in front of his little brother.
Ye Jun’s presence was really like thin air for both Ye Jie and Xu Mey. Throughout their whole conversation, they didn’t take their eyes off of each other making Ye Jun cringe with overloads of sweetness. Ye Jun was tormented thoroughly early in the morning.
With his sullen expression, he decided to make his presence known. Because let’s face it, the young ones in a family always hate to be ignored. "Just say yes sis-in-law."
Xu Mey and Ye Jie turned their heads in sync. The scene before them was very distinctive. Ye Jun was half sprawled on the couch with his arms on the backrest supporting his chin. He physical appearance was worse than Ye Jie. But with his hair messed up and swollen eyes, he was exuding a cute vibe.
Both Xu Mey and Ye Jie even stood up in sync and their words were also in sync, "When did you get here?" Both looked at each other and turned towards Ye Jun again. "And why are you here?" Seeing their awesome synchronization, Ye Jun was in awe.
He stood up displaying his taut chest. Xu Mey was not a pervert but of course, having four shameless fitness freaks as best friends had its own benefits, cough, cough... Flaws. Seeing appreciation in Xu Mey’s eyes, Ye Jun was feeling smug. "Sis-in-law, you like it?" He pointed at his hard chest. Xu Mey’s head bobbed up and down as if on reflex. It made Ye Jun’s smug smile even more bright. "Wanna see more?" She again nodded like a rattle. To satisfy his own narcissistic nature, Ye Jun wanted to open the rest of his shirt’s button.
Her eyes were wandering on Ye Jun’s body as he unbuttoned a single button slowly and Ye Jie’s eyes were throwing daggers at him. The appreciation in Xu Mey’s eyes coupled with her radiant face was making Ye Jie resentful.
Ye Jun didn’t even bother to heed any attention to Ye Jie’s resentment and continued to unbutton his shirt leisurely. When Ye Jun reached the last button, Ye Jie took long strides and held his wrist in his hand. "That’s enough!" His voice was low, cold and threatening. Ye Jun gulped visibly noticing his brother’s red eyes.
Woah! I have never seen bro this angry before. What are you sis-in-law? How did you turn my brother into a vinegar jar? And that too in a short span of time.
Admiration for Xu Mey increased in Ye Jun’s heart.
"Ugh! Why are you ruining my view?" Xu Mey childish voice made both brothers look at her. She was pouting adorably. "Jie, get away. Let me see Jun’s abs."
"Dear wife, why don’t you see my body?" Ye Jie offered dotingly.
Xu Mey crossed her arms over her chest saying, "Dear husband, I can see yours whenever I want to. Your abs are all mine to look at. But right now, I wanted to see Jun’s." Xu Mey bit her tongue when she realized what she had just said. Her face was heating up as she buried her red face in her palms and ran upstairs with her tail between her legs.
The brothers that were left behind both were standing rigid with eyes wide open. Ye Jie was flustered. ’I can see yours whenever I want to. Your abs are all mine to look at.’ The rest of the words didn’t even register in his mind. He was content with only these words alone.
