"It's just awkward getting into bed."
"Damn it, how else do you want to get into bed? If it's inconvenient, am I supposed to carry you in?"
Ye Yaodong was so angry he nearly stamped his feet. He had worked all this time, only to find she had a better idea-and she hadn't mentioned it until he had finished everything.
His shouting made Lin Xiuqing flush with embarrassment. She stamped her foot too. "Keep your voice down! Why are you shouting things like that? Afraid people won't hear? Aren't you embarrassed? The Old Lady's right outside, and there are people next door. You never watch your mouth, just say whatever comes into your head. Aren't you afraid people will hear and laugh?"
"Shit, so you do know what embarrassment is! Why didn't you say something sooner?"
"I hadn't thought of it then!"
Ye Yaodong huffed angrily. "Damn it, forget it. It's all nailed together now. It's staying this way."
"There's still an opening here. If our daughter crawls around, she could still crawl over here..."
"What, should I nail it shut all the way around so you can't get in to sleep? You were just complaining it was awkward getting into bed. Why are you so difficult?"
"I'm just giving you suggestions! It's awkward getting in, and the baby could roll over here..."
Ye Yaodong simply shoved her toward the opening, sending her falling onto the bed, then climbed on top and straddled her. "How is it awkward? See how easy that was? Convenient for doing it too."
Flustered and angry, Lin Xiuqing slapped at him. "Get off! You were shouting so loudly just now, that was embarrassing enough. Now you're climbing on top of me-what if someone sees..."
"I'm in my own room. Who's going to see?"
