“When ought to we throw him out?”
Cheng Yun hadn’t anticipated Yang Hongjin’s response to be like this, and he didn’t know whether or not to chuckle or cry.
Nevertheless, he hadn’t forgotten what that they had argued about earlier, so he examined the waters and requested, “Hongjin, you don’t like infants? Then what if… what if it’s our baby?”
“Would my spouse give delivery to a child?” Yang Hongjin requested, his eyes displaying real curiosity.
Inwardly, Cheng Yun struggled for a second, then ambiguously replied, “It’s exhausting to say. Perhaps he’ll, possibly he received’t.” He threw the query again, “And what about you? If it’s our child, would you need it?”
This time, Yang Hongjin started to wrestle.
Cheng Yun patiently waited, considerably shocked by his present response. Earlier, Yang Hongjin had requested him the identical query, and he had believed that Yang Hongjin was inquisitive about having a child.
After some time, Yang Hongjin playfully buried his head in Cheng Yun’s shoulder, took a deep breath, and mentioned, “However I solely need my spouse.”
Then, fearing that Cheng Yun may be sad, he reluctantly added, as if making a territorial concession, “If my spouse desires it, it’s not unattainable…”
Cheng Yun was puzzled, “Then earlier than…?” He blinked, unsure how one can phrase his query, absentmindedly gesturing a few occasions earlier than asking, “Then earlier than, weren’t you at all times speaking about that, um, mark behind my ear?”
As quickly as Yang Hongjin heard this, he grinned and mentioned, “The pink mark!”
“Sure!” Cheng Yun mentioned, “That’s the one!”
Yang Hongjin defined, “Large brother mentioned that the mark could make infants, however Hongjin doesn’t need infants. Hongjin simply desires my spouse to solely like me.”
Cheng Yun, holding again his embarrassment, requested, “Then why did you lick it?”
Consequently, Yang Hongjin replied confidently, “Lick it away!”
Cheng Yun: “…”
Cheng Yun: “…………”
How are you going to be so silly? Ah???
He actually needed to open up Yang Hongjin’s head and see the place all of the earlier Phrase Spirits had been used. He had been behaving fairly usually just lately, making Cheng Yun assume he was about to get better, however how did his mind abruptly twitch, even arising with concepts like this?!
Cheng Yun abruptly felt that his earlier frustration and anger had been totally nugatory, even a bit silly. He had been upset about this matter all evening. What was all of it for?
He was so indignant that he didn’t wish to pay any consideration to this fool in any respect. His head twitched with anger. Finally, he turned away, not Yang Hongjin’s face.
Yang Hongjin didn’t understand how he had managed to upset his spouse once more. He instantly panicked and saved calling “spouse” behind him.
Cheng Yun, not in a very good temper, mentioned, “Your spouse desires to sleep, don’t disturb.”
So Yang Hongjin dared not disturb anymore. He had lengthy forgotten why he had been sulking earlier. He cautiously moved nearer to his spouse, attempting to hug him and realized that his spouse wasn’t pushing him away, and hugged him, falling asleep with a contented smile.
A dreamless evening handed, and the subsequent morning, Cheng Yun was woke up by a loud noise outdoors.
He sat up abruptly, urgent his wildly beating coronary heart. “What’s occurring? Is there a thief?”
Yang Hongjin additionally wakened and, rubbing his eyes, not totally awake but, lazily mentioned, “Good morning, spouse.”
Cheng Yun rolled his eyes at him, rapidly placed on some garments, and headed outdoors.
Midway by means of, Cheng Yun abruptly remembered that there was a stranger in the home. He walked in the direction of the storeroom and certainly discovered the one who had been sleeping there was gone.
As quickly as Cheng Yun circled, he noticed the good-looking younger Ge’er holding a bowl of porridge fastidiously strolling out of the kitchen.
The younger Ge’er most likely hadn’t anticipated anybody else to be there. He blushed upon realizing that he had been caught making noise.
The 2 of them stood there, one another. In the long run, it was Yang Hongjin who got here out and stood in entrance of Cheng Yun, trying displeased, which ended the staring contest.
Cheng Yun, aggravated, pushed Yang Hongjin apart. This younger Ge’er had appeared engaging even when he was asleep yesterday. Now that he was awake, along with his spherical eyes and harmless expression, he appeared even higher than earlier than, unexpectedly sparking a liking in Cheng Yun’s coronary heart.
“Whats up, I’m Cheng Yun, and that is my husband Yang Hongjin,” Cheng Yun mentioned with an involuntarily mild tone, as if attempting to not startle him.
He rapidly defined, “You fainted at our doorstep yesterday, and my husband introduced you in. The porridge within the pot was made final evening. We didn’t wake you up, fearing it would disturb your relaxation. Physician Liu from our village has examined you and mentioned your physique is weak. He prescribed some tonic herbs. After you end consuming, we’ll warmth up the medication for you.”
The younger Ge’er remained silent for some time, then nodded and mentioned, “You, hiya.”
Cheng Yun smiled, attempting to ease the younger Ge’er’s uneasiness. He let him be and took Yang Hongjin to clean up.
After enduring it for some time, when the 2 have been lastly alone, Yang Hongjin couldn’t maintain again anymore and requested, “Spouse, when ought to we throw him out?”
Cheng Yun chuckled and poked his head, saying, “Yesterday, I used to be joking. We’re not throwing him out. No person is. It’s chilly outdoors, so we’ll deal with him after bringing him right here. Except he desires to depart on his personal, we’ll deal with him.”
Yang Hongjin heard this and didn’t really feel glad. He frowned and thought for some time earlier than saying, “Nicely, spouse, simply don’t be too good to him. You’ll be able to solely be good to me.”
“Alright, alright,” Cheng Yun felt like he was listening to the identical factor time and again. He held Yang Hongjin’s face along with his fingers and mentioned, “I’ll solely be good to you, I solely such as you.”
Yang Hongjin chuckled, and for probably the most half stopped fussing in regards to the younger Ge’er.
When the 2 returned to the principle room, the younger Ge’er had completed the porridge and was sitting obediently, trying round with large eyes.
Upon seeing them return, he stood up instantly and scratched his head, trying a bit at a loss.
“Don’t be so nervous,” Cheng Yun mentioned. “Have a seat first. I’ll go heat up some medication for you. Are you full? I’m making breakfast, so I can put together some additional for you. You’re fairly skinny; it’s good to eat extra.”
Having mentioned that, Cheng Yun walked in the direction of the kitchen, and the younger Ge’er adopted him, trying nervous and hesitating to talk.
As Cheng Yun reached the kitchen door, his footsteps abruptly halted.
The younger Ge’er’s voice got here from behind, “I… I’m sorry, I didn’t know how one can…”
The kitchen was a large number, with ashes scattered everywhere in the flooring. The offender had even tried to cowl up by inserting hay on prime of it. The porridge within the pot had spilled a bit, however the medication had been correctly put aside. The as soon as tidy counter-top was now in a state of full chaos.
Cheng Yun remained silent for a second, then turned to take a look at the younger Ge’er. He was gazing his personal toes, seemingly confused.
This particular person was picked up by his husband. If he was going to be indignant, he might solely be indignant with that fool.
Reciting these phrases silently to himself, Cheng Yun maintained a well mannered demeanor and requested the younger Ge’er to sit whereas he and Yang Hongjin cleaned up the kitchen collectively. By the point the kitchen was again to its unique state and the porridge and medication have been heated up, almost half an hour had handed.
Standing within the kitchen, Cheng Yun felt each hungry and drained. He leaned towards Yang Hongjin and requested him to therapeutic massage his arm.
Yang Hongjin fortunately embraced him and proceeded to knead and pinch right here and there, having fun with the duty.
He rested his chin on prime of Cheng Yun’s head, and Cheng Yun might really feel his contact with only a slight raise of his head.
Cheng Yun’s abdomen rumbled audibly he was sweating throughout so early within the morning. This particular person was introduced residence by the fool, however he was nonetheless jealous of him not way back, and needed him to coax him. Fascinated about this, Cheng Yun grew to become aggravated once more. With out warning, he raised his head and bit down on Yang Hongjin’s chin.
Yang Hongjin: “?”
After ending the chew, Cheng Yun reached as much as rub him and tugged his earlobe. He didn’t know if he was talking to Yang Hongjin or himself, however he whispered softly in Yang Hongjin’s ear, “The younger Ge’er is unwell and is pregnant. Judging by his look and garments, he’s possible from a rich household. It’s comprehensible that he can’t do any work, so let’s not maintain it towards him.”
Yang Hongjin at all times listened to his spouse. He nodded with out saying something.
Once they returned to the principle room, the younger Ge’er was nonetheless sitting in the identical spot, immobile, not even daring to go searching. He sat quietly like a statue.
Cheng Yun took a deep breath and introduced over the porridge and medication. As he served it, he mentioned, “That is just a few easy meals. Eat a bit to fill your abdomen. Later, I’ll ask my husband to ask the village physician to return over and test on you.”
The younger Ge’er rapidly shook his head and waved his fingers, “Your porridge is scrumptious. Thanks.”
Cheng Yun smiled at him, first scooping a bowl for Yang Hongjin after which for the younger Ge’er. After serving himself, Cheng Yun sat all the way down to eat whereas saying, “My identify is Cheng Yun, and everybody calls me Cheng-Ge’er. My husband’s surname is Yang, and everybody calls him Yang Ge. What ought to we name you?”
The younger Ge’er took a small sip of porridge, paused after listening to the phrases, and hesitated for a second earlier than saying, “I… I’m Chen Yan. You’ll be able to name me Chen-Ge’er…”
Cheng Yun was silent for a second, pretending to not discover the hesitation in his speech. He smiled and mentioned, “Alright, then I’ll name you Chen-Ge’er.”
Seeing Chen Yan visibly chill out, Cheng Yun shook his head with a smile and continued, “Chen-Ge’er, can I ask you a query?”
“W-what?” Chen Yan appeared like a startled rabbit. He trembled each time Cheng Yun spoke.
“You don’t must be so nervous,” Cheng Yun reassured with a smile. “Simply consider me as your older brother and chill out.”
Chen Yan nodded, although his nervousness was nonetheless obvious.
He glanced at Cheng Yun after which at Yang Hongjin. Cheng Yun had a mild smile on his face, whereas Yang Hongjin, although silent, was gazing him with a vigilant look.
Chen Yan shrank his neck, avoiding eye contact with Yang Hongjin. He quietly waited for Cheng Yun to proceed talking.
Cheng Yun fastidiously selected his phrases and requested, “Have you learnt that you just’re fairly weak?”
Seeing Chen Yan nod, Cheng Yun continued, “And do you… know that you just’ve been pregnant for over two months?”
Chen Yan’s whole physique stiffened, and his complexion paled visibly.
Cheng Yun had been observing his reactions and noticed that his eyes have been getting purple, as if he was getting ready to tears.
Panicking a bit seeing this, Cheng Yun hurriedly mentioned, “Hey, don’t cry, don’t cry. If you happen to belief me, you may inform me something.”
Chen Yan sniffled, holding again his tears.
He glanced at Yang Hongjin after which at Cheng Yun once more. He bit his lip and remained silent for a second earlier than tentatively asking, “Would you… be keen to let me keep right here?”
Cheng Yun widened his eyes in astonishment.
Chen Yan knew his request may be unreasonable. He didn’t have something to supply as collateral, and he hesitated, saying, “I… I might help with chores.”
As if recalling the mess he had made earlier, he grew anxious once more. “I can study, I’m able to studying. You see…”
As he spoke, his eyes welled up with tears. He realized that he was used to being well-fed and well-cared for again at residence, and solely now did he notice that he was really fairly ineffective.
Watching Chen Yan expertise pleasure, panic, confusion, disappointment, and eventually despair inside a span of some minutes, Cheng Yun abruptly discovered this child fairly cute.
Simply as he had mentioned to Yang Hongjin, this particular person was dropped at them. Regardless of the mysteries surrounding him, it was too chilly outdoors, and so they couldn’t presumably let a pregnant particular person stay stranded.
