Several well-dressed young gentlemen, with dumbfounded expressions, looked at the big boy being half-embraced by his buddy and had to accept a certain reality.
The atmosphere became increasingly awkward.
An Wuyang thought he might have caused trouble by talking nonsense, so he collected his wandering gaze, lowered his head, and flipped through the menu.
“Don’t touch it; it’ll get dirty,” Huo Yunchuan reached out, took the menu from An Wuyang’s hand, and placed it aside.
Jiang Shaofei spoke up, “I’ll call the waiter to clean up.” He then got up and left, leaving Ji Mingxuan and Chen Chu to stare at each other, wanting to speak but afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Chen Chu’s temperament was more stable and reliable. Even though his mind was in turmoil, he managed to stay calm. “So, what’s the situation now? How many months has it been?”
As he asked the question, he felt how absurd it was.
A boy pregnant.
An Wuyang knew this answer; he had seen the report today. He answered in a low voice, “Six and a half weeks, just two days away from seven weeks.”
The doctor said the baby was only the size of a peanut, and the image couldn’t be seen clearly yet.
“Well, almost seven weeks,” Huo Yunchuan still embraced him, tightened his fingers, and looked at his friends across the table, “When you all came in together, didn’t Shaofei tell you about this?”
Ji Mingxuan and Chen Chu shook their heads unanimously, “No.” He didn’t say anything; he just let them come in and see for themselves!

As a result, when they came in, they saw their buddy hugging a young boy, and the scene was unbearable to watch. Straightforward as they were, they exploded.
“Since he’s pregnant, it’s understandable to take a break from school,” Chen Chu looked at An Wuyang’s invincible youthful face and sighed, “Take two years to complete your studies. Don’t worry; you’re still so young. Let Yunchuan take good care of you.”
Ji Mingxuan was still in a daze, nodding in agreement with what his buddy said. He felt that what his buddy said made sense.
An Wuyang also nodded. His plan was just as Chen Chu said—to let Huo Yunchuan help him; otherwise, this baby wouldn’t have the conditions to be born.
“Let me handle it,” Jiang Shaofei said as he brought in the waiter. Soon, the table was cleaned up.
Before long, the dishes ordered by Huo Yunchuan were delivered, and the most conspicuous among them were the two brightly colored steamed prawns.
The stern-faced man rolled up his sleeves, wiped his hands with a wet towel, picked up a prawn, peeled off the shell, dipped it in sauce, and delivered the tender shrimp to the young man’s mouth.
A few big brothers stared at An Wuyang’s mouth, and seeing him hesitate, they collectively became anxious. In their minds, they were thinking, “Open your mouth, these prawns are good, both sweet and fresh.”

As for An Wuyang, in front of so many people, for a moment, he couldn’t decide whether to eat or not…
The only thing certain was that these prawns were indeed good, emitting a sweet aroma under his nose.
Unable to resist the temptation of his beloved food, An Wuyang quickly opened his mouth and took the shrimp meat from Huo Yunchuan’s fingertips. Throughout the process, he kept his eyes down, pretending not to be aware of the audience.
Huo Yunchuan, with a smile in his eyes, continued to peel another shrimp.
The three wealthy and dissolute young masters felt extremely content, as if they were the ones enjoying the delicacies. Then, they suddenly woke up, unable to believe that they were so delighted just watching someone eat…
Toxic.
After consecutively watching An Wuyang being fed several shrimp, the big brothers, satisfied, withdrew their gaze and began to protectively advise, “Yunchuan, this young one is bearing children for you at such a young age. Shouldn’t you provide some security?”
Without specifying the amount, a couple of companies and some real estate were always required, at least to ensure that the young lad would have a worry-free life in the future.
“I have it all figured out,” Huo Yunchuan calmly said, continuing to peel the shrimp slowly.
An Wuyang was stunned for a moment and said, “I don’t need anything.” The purpose of having this child was very simple—to avoid extinguishing a young life, nothing more.

Everyone looked at him—some with a mix of surprise and helplessness, some with a bitter smile, and there were also those with furrowed brows, like Huo Yunchuan.
“Don’t refuse; it’s what you deserve,” said Chen Chu.
“Yunchuan has plenty of money; don’t be polite with him,” Ji Mingxuan kindly advised, “Just accept whatever he gives you. When you grow up, you’ll understand.”
As a small kid now, he didn’t understand the hardships of life. It was understandable for him to say such innocent words.
Among the people present, only Jiang Shaofei didn’t speak. He felt that something was wrong with the situation…
“I really don’t need anything.” An Wuyang picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, using it to pick up food himself. “After I give birth, I’ll go back to studying. If Mr. Huo is willing, let me see the baby regularly, and I’ll be content.”
This statement had a suffocating effect.
Because the young man was simple, they knew this was a sincere statement without any pretense.
Everyone looked at Huo Yunchuan, except for Jiang Shaofei, who still hadn’t spoken. He felt that something was off…
Just now, Huo, who was enthusiastically peeling shrimp, now resembled a frozen mudfish, his fingers mechanically slow, unable to find the initial smoothness and joy.
The expression spoke for itself—he looked like he had received bad news.
He didn’t want to force himself. Putting down the half-peeled shrimp, he picked up a wet towel to wipe his hands, methodically drying each finger.
“Yunchuan…” The brothers across from him were very worried and couldn’t help but advise, “Stay calm; he’s just a kid.” His three perspectives haven’t matured, and he’s not thinking before he speaks.
Huo Yunchuan calmly said, “There’s nothing wrong; I’ll just go to the restroom.”
Then he stood up, left from beside An Wuyang. This ghostly departure was quite frightening. However, when he reached the door, he turned back, not to greet An Wuyang, but to ask Ji Mingxuan, “Got cigarettes? Give me some.”

He realized he didn’t have cigarettes, or perhaps he was deliberately restraining himself.
“Got them,” Ji Mingxuan quickly found some and handed them to him. “Is it really nothing or just pretending?” The state of this brother was worrying.
This time, Huo Yunchuan took the cigarettes and left directly, without answering Ji Mingxuan and without notifying An Wuyang.
The atmosphere changed instantly; it became like this in the blink of an eye.
An Wuyang was confused, put down his chopsticks, and nervously asked, “What’s wrong with Mr. Huo? Did I say something wrong?”
But, what was wrong with his words?
Jiang Shaofei finally understood what was wrong. These two people had completely different expectations for each other. One thought he had found his true love, while the other always knew and intended to run away after giving birth.
However, from An Wuyang’s perspective, he was not wrong at all. He wanted to return to a normal life, study, work, get married, and have children—totally correct.
“He’s fine,” Jiang Shaofei said, “Don’t worry too much. Just eat.” Then he gave a signal to Chen Chu to go to the restroom and find Huo Yunchuan.
Chen Chu nodded, greeted, and left.
He stepped into the restroom at the end of the corridor and saw Huo Yunchuan leaning against the wall, smoking, releasing smoke like a person who had been holding back for a long time.
Chen Chu smiled, “How long has it been since you last smoked?”
Huo Yunchuan thought seriously and surprisingly came up with a number even he was shocked by, “Two days.”
Chen Chu was also stunned; he remembered that Huo Yunchuan had a strong addiction to cigarettes five years ago, almost a pack a day. Now, he could go two days without smoking, indicating a change in his mindset…
“He’s still young, and you have plenty of time. Take it slowly. There’s no need for such a strong reaction. How will he see you when you go back?” Chen Chu said, “After you left just now, do you know he was so jealous he almost cried? He was questioning himself about what he said wrong. Can you bear it?”
He wanted to add, ‘Does he depend on you or not? Don’t you understand that?’ to provoke further, but it seemed there was no chance.
Huo Yunchuan’s temples throbbed when he heard ‘cried.’ He immediately threw away the remaining half of the cigarette, turned on the tap to wash his hands, took a few tissues to dry them, and went back.
“Ah,” Chen Chu envied and pitied him.
Inside the private room, Jiang Shaofei diligently served dishes to An Wuyang, asking him not to overthink and to eat more.
An Wuyang looked at the empty space beside him and lost his appetite. Now thinking back, the change in Huo Yunchuan’s demeanor was so evident.
He ate his white rice like chewing wax, feeling extremely uncomfortable. He blamed himself, thinking, An Wuyang, just a few days of comfort, and you start speaking without using your brain.
Even if he really thought so, he shouldn’t have said it in front of others.
“Yunchuan,” Ji Mingxuan was the first to see Huo Yunchuan return.
Huo Yunchuan nodded at him and returned the cigarette box and lighter, “Thanks, I only smoked one.” He hadn’t finished it.
“Don’t be polite.” Ji Mingxuan gestured toward the one who needed attention.
Huo Yunchuan sat back next to An Wuyang, turning to see him eating like a small bird, silently peeling shrimp and feeding it to him.
The teenager pursed his lips, shook his head, “No rush; I can do it myself.” Then he picked up a large bunch of vegetables and wolfed them down.
Huo Yunchuan looked at him, both irritated and amused, “You don’t like vegetables, right?” He took the bowl and chopsticks from An Wuyang’s hand, arranging the vegetables, “Don’t be angry. I had a moment of madness.”
He wouldn’t do it again.
“…” An Wuyang silently ate the vegetables in his mouth, drank some soup, not looking at him, “Why a moment of madness?”
Huo Yunchuan carefully picked fish bones from the meat, casually said, “Probably because it’s been too long since I smoked.”
An Wuyang nodded. It was not interesting to pursue these things. Since the other party treated it as if nothing had happened, he would do the same.
After that, Huo Yunchuan continued to take care of An Wuyang as before.
An Wuyang accepted his care as he did before.
However, Huo Yunchuan still felt that some things had quietly changed. A moment of madness was not enough to go back to the way it was…
Chen Chu was right; there’s still plenty of time, and the other person is just an ignorant child. As a mature and experienced person, there’s really no need to overreact.
“…” Bereft.jpg.
The three playboy young masters, after going through a rollercoaster of emotions during lunch with their friends, each harbored a myriad of thoughts. They were all influenced to some extent.
Chen, the eldest son, posted on his social media: “No divorce cases taken in the past few days. For my brothers, even if I don’t go all out, I should at least get a little reward for him.”
Jiang, the second son, posted: “Four great joys in life: timely rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night with candles and flowers, and achieving fame and success.”
Ji, the third son, commented: “Old Jiang said it well.”
This is the difference between the cultured and the uncultured.
After a day of activities outside, An Wuyang returned, slept well, had no dreams, and wasn’t awakened by the need to pee. He woke up naturally.
The indoor air conditioning was cool, the bed was soft, and there were many fruits in the refrigerator. There was no need to worry about going to work to earn money, and no fear of being scolded by his parents for oversleeping. Everything was beautiful.
“…” Suddenly, An Wuyang saw Mr. Huo’s face lying behind him and was startled. Right, Mr. Huo didn’t go to work; he came back and worked in the living room after that.
Later, maybe tired, he came in to sleep.
An Wuyang took a few more glances and sighed, “Really handsome.” Although sometimes terrifying enough to scare people to death, there was no denying that the other’s looks were outstanding.
He tiptoed out of bed and put on slippers.
First, he went to the bathroom, then opened the refrigerator and grabbed a fruit to eat. After eating a couple of bites, he suddenly remembered Huo Yunchuan’s advice not to eat frozen fruits directly.
In such a situation, if it were a slightly rebellious boy, he would definitely ignore it and continue eating.
However, An Wuyang was not that kind of person. He obediently put down the fruit, filled a bowl with water, and put the frozen fruit in it.
After about five minutes, it could be taken out to eat.
“Ding dong.” When he was staring at the fruit, the doorbell rang.
Pressing the bell was Ji Mingxuan, who had just returned home from work. He wasn’t sure if Huo Yunchuan was at home, so he pressed it casually.
An Wuyang opened the door, looking surprised, “Mr. Ji?”
Ji Mingxuan was also surprised, “Where’s Yunchuan? Why are you opening the door?” Then he looked An Wuyang up and down, the young man dressed in home clothes, looking fresh. Everything was good, except for his slightly tousled hair.
“He’s sleeping,” An Wuyang said, “Come in.”
“No need.” Ji Mingxuan waved the keys in his hand, pointing to the door opposite, “I live across the hall.” Seeing the young man looking surprised, he mischievously smiled, “You’re home alone. Isn’t it boring? How about coming to my place to play games?”
“…” An Wuyang looked surprised again.
Five minutes later, wearing home slippers, An Wuyang cautiously stepped into Ji Mingxuan’s home. He found that the layout here was the same as across the hall, creating an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
“Have a seat. Help yourself to drinks from the fridge. I’ll change into something more comfortable first,” Ji Mingxuan said, placing the young man in the living room and heading to his room to change clothes.
An Wuyang didn’t dare to drink anything cold. He saw a water dispenser and disposable cups…
After Ji Mingxuan changed into new clothes, exuding the aura of a friendly big brother, he returned to the living room and immediately set up the gaming equipment. He said, “Have you played this before?”
An Wuyang put down the warm water in his hand and approached, “I’ve seen others play. My good buddy, Xiaopang, has this kind of equipment at home. He says it’s a lot of fun.”
Many unfinished assignments were due to playing games.
“It’s very simple. I’ll teach you, and you’ll get the hang of it,” Ji Mingxuan opened a bag of snacks, holding a piece of dried meat. “I haven’t eaten yet. I’ll come over to your place for dinner later.”
An Wuyang accepted the dried meat, nodding, “Welcome!”
The elder taught the younger how to operate the game, and soon they were deeply engrossed in playing.
At half-past four in the afternoon, Aunt Zhang arrived. When she opened the door, she found the house strangely quiet and decided to check the bedroom.
The noise of opening the door woke up Huo Yunchuan. He sat up and looked around. Immediately, he asked Aunt Zhang, “Is he awake? Is he playing in the living room?”
Aunt Zhang looked confused, “No, I’ll check the bathroom.” She quickly circled the house but couldn’t find him.
Huo Yunchuan frowned, lifting the blanket and getting out of bed. He walked out barefoot and bumped into Aunt Zhang face to face, “Mr. Huo, he’s not here. Did he go out?”
“Impossible.” The man turned to look at the bedside, where An Wuyang’s phone was neatly placed.
“Then where did he go?” Aunt Zhang said, her face gradually showing worry. “Did he go downstairs to play? I’ll go down and look.”
Huo Yunchuan didn’t stop her because he himself was at a loss.
“…Wait a second.” After a second, he immediately grabbed the keys, put on his shoes, and, with Aunt Zhang, went downstairs to look for him. They searched for half an hour and couldn’t find him. He immediately drove out of the community to An Wuyang’s home in the south of the city.
No objection to his emotional outburst, he just went home.
Author’s Note:
The duo who lost track of time while playing games.
Wuyang: Xiao Ming ge, who had it worse, you or me?
Ji Mingxuan: TAT Definitely me who had it worse!
(If we have to blame someone, blame the dried meat for being too satisfying. After eating it, we didn’t feel hungry and forgot to have dinner!)
Wuyang & Old Ji: Yes, it’s all the dried meat’s fault!
Several well-dressed young gentlemen, with dumbfounded expressions, looked at the big boy being half-embraced by his buddy and had to accept a certain reality.
The atmosphere became increasingly awkward.
An Wuyang thought he might have caused trouble by talking nonsense, so he collected his wandering gaze, lowered his head, and flipped through the menu.
