Translator: WhenEverIWantTo
After lunch, Xu Ze went back to his room to change clothes. He still remembered he was going out this afternoon. He also knew that besides them, there were also some friends of Yang Yan coming. Xu Ze met a few of Yang Yan’s friends. It was pretty much the so-called similar people gathering together in a group. Personally, it doesn’t matter whether he goes or not, but since he already made the arrangement, he might as well take it as going for a walk.
After changing his clothes, Xu Ze saw that over by Yang Yan, there seemed to be no movement. Yang Yan’s current expression seemed like he had forgotten about the picnic outing, and so Xu Ze asked, “Didn’t you say we’re going out? You’re not changing your clothes?”
Xu Ze’s tone was relatively calm, but falling on Yang Yan’s ears, it seemed to make Yang Yan think that Xu Ze was looking forward to going out. He thought about how Xu Ze had only been going between the school and here during this time, that life seemed a bit boring. Yang Yan originally planned to mention that this picnic was canceled to Xu Ze and then take Xu Ze to another place with only the two of them. But when Xu Ze stared at him with his sparkling peach blossom eyes, Yang Yan thought never mind then.
He nodded: “En, I’ll go change immediately.” He couldn’t really have Xu Ze only look at him and not let Xu Ze see anyone. He couldn’t do that.
Yang Yan went back upstairs. Although he slept in the same room with Xu Ze at night, his clothes were still placed upstairs.
While sitting on the living room sofa and waiting, Xu Ze brought a glass of warm water to drink slowly as he looked down at his stomach.
The air conditioner was turned on in the living room so the temperature was warm. Xu Ze did not wear a down jacket for the time being, though he did wear autumn clothes and a sweater. When he bought it, he thought about his stomach so he bought a large size. However, even though he was wearing the large sweater now, his stomach was still bulging.
The child was conceived in early September. It was now January, which means it had been about four months. Based on the ten months pregnancy, the expected due date should be July this year. That would be close to summer vacation, and would probably be exam time. Xu Ze hadn’t really thought about this problem. If he suddenly gave birth to the child during the exam, he was afraid that he would fail the class and repeat it.
However, Xu Ze wasn’t really worried. Comparing repeating a grade to ten million dollars, the latter was definitely more important.
As he drank the water, Xu Ze seemed to feel a little hungry again. Although he just had lunch, he was not alone now. There was still a little guy in his stomach. Sometimes when he felt hungry quicker, he would take some little snacks to eat.
Yang Yan changed his clothes quite quickly. He was done in a short moment. When he went downstairs, he saw Xu Ze eating. He stopped for a while at the entrance of the stairs. The scene of Xu Ze eating unexpectedly had a kind of warm and cozy feeling when it landed in Yang Yan’s eyes.
Originally, this house was just a brick residence for him, and there was no other meaning. But when Xu Ze, who was bearing with his child, moved in, Yang Yan suddenly felt that this house had some other meaning which made his heart fill full.
Yang Yan wanted to stay here, wanting to stay together with Xu Ze all the time.
Noticing Yang Yan on the stairs, Xu Ze put down the snacks in his hand and stood up.
Yang Yan walked over, glanced at what Xu Ze had just eaten, and asked him, “Hungry again?”
“Not really, I just want to chew something in my mouth.” Xu Ze shook his head.
Yang Yan bent down and packed some small snacks into his pocket. Xu Ze could eat them while they were on the road.
The location was a bit far and it would take about 40 to 50 minutes to drive there. In addition to the snacks, Yang Yan also took a thermos and poured hot water into it.
There was nothing else to really take, so the two went out together.
Just like before, Yang Yan asked Xu Ze to sit in the back seat.
Xu Ze didn’t say much of anything as he sat in the back seat. As the car started, the windows closed, and the air conditioner was turned on, Yang Yan asked Xu Ze, “Is the temperature comfortable? If it’s not, I’ll turn it higher.”
Today’s weather was quite good. The sun was shining brightly. In fact, there was no need to turn on the air conditioner since the sunlight shone through the car window. Xu Ze could feel the warmth of it.
“This temperature is fine.” Xu Ze told Yang Yan no need to turn it too high.
After eating lunch, Xu Ze had the habit of taking a nap. So while Yang Yan was driving, he leaned on the car seat, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
Yang Yan in front saw Xu Ze closing his eyes to rest. In the past, he liked speeding whenever he drove, driving quite fast. Now that Xu Ze and his child were in the car, Yang Yan slowed down the speed and drove the car extremely smoothly. When he saw a traffic light in the distance, he reduced his speed in advance, so as not to hit the brakes just as the red light comes.

Yang Yan said that he would bring Xu Ze out. It wasn’t to the point where he would regret it at the end. Even if there were other things, he should’ve told them in advance.
Xie Chengzhou pursed his lips. Suddenly his eyes lit up slightly, and he guessed a certain situation.
“He should be on the way here. Maybe his phone was accidentally muted, so he didn’t see it.” Xie Chengzhou explained like this to Cao Mingyong.
Cao Mingyong didn’t know the inside story and nodded, thinking that that was probably the case. He didn’t notice the strange smile in Xie Chengzhou’s eyes when he said this.
Xie Chengzhou actually thought at the time whether Yang Yan would be reluctant to bring Xu Ze out. After all, Yang Yan cared and liked Xu Ze way more than before. Not to mention he was possessive, so maybe he would not be willing to bring the person out to show them.
But just ten minutes later, Yang Yan’s car drove over. The car stopped on the side of the road and two people got out of it.
One of them was naturally Yang Yan. As for the other one, Xie Chengzhou and many others all focused their attention over.
Several people recognized Xu Ze. When they saw that the person Yang Yan brought was Xu Ze, they couldn’t hide the surprise on their faces. As for the others who didn’t know Xu Ze, they were instantly attracted by Xu Ze’s handsome and beautiful face and all revealed their astonished gaze. One of them immediately asked in a teasing tone after Yang Yan and Xu Ze approached.
“Yang Yan, where did you find such a treasure? I was saying why you’ll hold him so tightly. Looking like this, If it was me, I would also be reluctant to bring them out.”
Yang Yan’s expression was cold. When his friend looked at Xu Ze with explicit eyes, Yang Yan pulled Xu Ze into his arms in one go, as if he’s declaring his possession.
“Watch your eyes.” Yang Yan’s smile was icy and indifferent.
The person who was warned was suddenly stunned. He stared at Yang Yan. For a moment he thought that the Yang Yan in front of his eyes was swapped by someone. Feeling the pressure from Yang Yan, the friend’s eyes narrowed slightly as he retracted his scrutiny gaze and also his teasing heart.
“Right, I didn’t notice just now. Yang Yan, doesn’t your little lover seem to look a bit like the one that Xie Chengzhou brought? The two of you didn’t negotiate this right?” The friend’s eyes were sharp, noticing this problem in an instant.
It was still fine if he didn’t say it. Now that he said it, the other people also felt that it seemed to be true.
Cao Mingyong walked over, his eyes looking at the faces of Xu Ze and the young boys brought by Xie Chengzhou. Though it was obvious that there was no need to compare. Xu Ze’s face was as delicate and beautiful as it was sculpted by hand.
Over on the side, Xie Chengzhou saw Yang Yan and Xu Ze had come, so he brought his little lover over. Xie Chengzhou pulled over the boy as he put his arms around the boy’s shoulder and smiled with deep meaning: “Don’t say it, you and him indeed look alike!”
The boy’s gaze went over to look at Xu Ze. Compared to the smile on Xie Chengzhou’s face, the boy’s expression was clearly shock.
Before he came, he knew that there would be such a person. Because he looked like the other party, Xie Chengzhou took a fancy to him. He was mentally prepared and felt that that person might be good-looking. However, when he saw the real Xu Ze, he knew that there was not only a small gap between him and Xu Ze, but a very huge gap.
He was even thinking that there was nothing similar to Xu Ze about him at all. If he stood together with Xu Ze, people’s eyes would only be attracted to Xu Ze. his own eyes would also be the same.
He had never seen a person as beautiful as Xu Ze, with a temperament standing out from the crowd. That person stood there quietly without speaking and had no expression on his face, yet when he appeared, it seemed that the sunlight was gathering on him, enveloping him with a thin layer of dazzling halo.
It was as if he looked like a beauty who walked out from a painting.
Before the boy came, he even had a little hostility towards this person he had never met. After seeing Xu Ze, the hostility in his heart disappeared completely. He suddenly wanted to walk over to get to know Xu Ze. He even wanted to tell Xu Ze his name.
He wanted those charming, affectionate peach blossom eyes to be able to look at himself.
The boy understood why Xie Chengzhou found him to be Xu Ze’s stand-in.
Everyone was saying that Xu Ze and Xie Chengzhou’s lover look alike. Xu Ze, as the concerned party, swept his eyes across the crowd, landing on the handsome boy. Looking at him, he seemed to be about 18 to 19 years old. The boy was also looking at him. Xu Ze’s pupils shrunk slightly. It was not because he found that the boy really resembled him, but because he noticed that the boy’s gaze while staring at him clearly contained infatuation within it.
Normally under these circumstances, shouldn’t he be unhappy? After all, the others said they looked alike. Xu Ze took a closer look at the boy. As the boy was stared at by Xu Ze’s charming peach blossom eyes, his cheeks actually turned red after a while.
Xie Chengzhou first discovered this situation. He thought that his little lover would show some hostility to Xu Ze, but this development was completely different from what he expected.
However, when Xie Chengzhou went to see Xu Ze’s peach blossom eyes, He understood immediately. It seemed that Xu Ze’s charm was really that great.
Indeed, it couldn’t not be big. Xu Ze was able to fascinate Yang Yan to his core, and even Xie Chengzhou himself had his heart feeling itchy. Being able to hook other people’s gaze, it was completely natural.
“Do they look alike? I don’t really think so.” Xie Chengzhou interjected.
As soon as he said this, the other people carefully compared them again and found that they really don’t look alike. In terms of temperament, the boy couldn’t compare with Xu Ze.
“Hey hey hey, all of you don’t just don’t stand there! Get something to eat ah! We didn’t come out to just stand and play!” Someone shouted.
Those who gathered together immediately dispersed.
Before Yang Yan and Xu Ze came, the barbecue grills were already set up. The barbecue vegetables and even fruits were also brought out.
There were a lot of people, so there were three sitting mats on the ground. Quite a lot of beer was placed on top of them.
The charcoal fire started and a few people started barbecuing there. As for Yang Yan and the others, although they were friends, there were still differences between friends in their identities and positions. Yang Yan would not normally do anything like barbecuing.
No one would ask him to do it either.
Yang Yan and Xu Ze were together and he asked Xu Ze, “Are you tired? If you are tired, just sit for a while.”
Xu Ze shook his head. It wasn’t him who just drove the car. He sat in the back seat and slept all the way. Right now he was in good spirits and just wanted to walk around.
This place seemed to be halfway up the mountain. Being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the air was strangely very clear. Taking a breath, it was as if the air was full of sweetness.
“I’ll go for a walk nearby!” Xu Ze mentioned to Yang Yan.
Although he liked to eat things like barbecue, in his current physical condition, as he’s bearing a little guy, he’s trying to not eat such things as much as possible. And just smelling the oil smoke smell coming over, Xu Ze felt a little uncomfortable.
I’ll go with you! The words rolled on the tip of Yang Yan’s tongue, but he could see a meaning in Xu Ze’s clear eyes. That was that Xu Ze wanted to walk by himself. Yang Yan’s heart felt blocked and uncomfortable, yet his exterior appearance was nodding.
“Don’t go too far.” Yang Yan urged.
Xu Ze smiled slightly which made Yang Yan’s expression also change slightly. Because that light smile of Xu Ze’s hit him hard on his heart.
The people here, except for Yang Yan, Xu Ze also had no interest in making friends with the other people, so he turned around and left by himself.
Other than Yang Yan’s gaze that was on Xu Ze, there were also several other lines of sight that fell on him.
As soon as Xu Ze was gone, Xie Chengzhou came next to Yang Yan. He put his hands around his chest and curled the corner of his mouth, talking to Yang Yan in a voice that only he and Yang Yan could hear: “If you’re not following him, aren’t you afraid that something might happen to your baby and your little baby?”
Xie Chengzhou knew the inside story and knew that Xu Ze was bearing one more inside his stomach.
Yang Yan squinted at Xie Chengzhou, his gaze containing frost: “You care too much.”
Xie Chengzhou stared at the side of Yang Yan’s face. He stared for a while, then he laughed, “From what I see, it seems like Xu Ze doesn’t like a certain somebody. You say, after he gives birth to the child, would things still be like right now?”
Would he stay together with Yang yan like this?
Xie Chengzhou didn’t say the latter, but Yang Yan guessed it instantly.
“No matter if it’s like right now or not, it’ll never be the turn for unrelated people to worry about.” Yang Yan did the same and contained meaning in his words.
Xie Chengzhou raised his head and laughed. The voice sounded so pleased that everyone who was barbecuing heard it. And so everyone showed a little curiosity, wondering what funny things Xie Chengzhou and Yang Yan were talking about.
“Don’t fill your words so much.” Xie Chengzhou meant something. Obviously, the warning Yang Yan gave to Xie Chengzhou after the last race had no effect. Xie Chengzhou was still interested in Xu Ze and wanted to get Xu Ze.
While the two were talking, Xie Chengzhou’s little lover walked over and his expression was a little uneasy. Xie Chengzhou looked at the boy’s face. He originally thought he looked like Xu Ze, but now really putting them together, there’s no comparison at all.
“What’s the matter?” Xie Chengzhou asked.
“Can I go walk around nearby?” The boy’s voice was very low as if he was afraid that he would make Xie Chengzhou unhappy if he spoke loudly.
“You can, but if you get lost, no one will go pick you up.”
Xie Chengzhou said with laughter. It seemed to look like a joke, but the indifference in his eyes let the boy know that Xie Chengzhou’s words could be counted on.
“I understand.” The boy lowered his eyes.
There was a sharp gaze in front staring at the boy. The boy felt like thorns were piercing his body. He raised his head and met up with Yang Yan’s gaze. That one gaze made the boy’s heart tremble violently.
The boy walked away quickly, leaving behind a figure who seemed to be running away.
Xie Chengzhou looked at the leaving figure of the boy without the slightest worry. He originally was only looking for a fun toy anyways. He turned his head and said with a smile to Yang Yan, “You scared my person just now.”
Xie Chengzhou only said that after the boy left, obviously not caring about him. Yang Yan’s expression did not have any waves.
“If you’re looking for a stand-in, at least look for a high-quality one. How did you become interested in one like this?” Yang Yan’s words contained satire.
Xie Chengzhou ignored Yang Yan’s satire. Between friends, it wasn’t to the point where you couldn’t make jokes like this.
“I was looking for something like this. After all, it’s a fake. It can’t be compared with the real one.” Xie Chengzhou looked in the direction where Xu Ze left, his eyes gradually darkening.
Yang Yan didn’t continue to talk. In his opinion, Xie Chengzhou couldn’t be counted as a real threat. Even if Xie Chengzhou really wanted to fight him for Xu Ze, he didn’t think Xie Chengzhou would be his opponent.
Over by the barbecue, some of the meat was done. Cao Mingyong came over to tell the two of them to stop talking and eat some barbecue.
Cao Mingyong looked around the two of them and found that their little lovers were gone. He made a joke at the time: “Both of your lovers are not here? Aren’t you afraid that the two of them will hook up?”
Both Xie Chengzhou and Yang Yan gave Cao Mingyong a cold look. Those gazes seemed to say “Pour the water in your brain out“.
The first split chapter of many more to come! Raw was 7200 words in total so I had to split it.
I was debating whether to split or keep the chapter whole, but looking at my TLing rate, splitting it seemed like a better idea.
Also, I may have made a mistake in the last chapter. 吐泡泡 isn’t actually blowing bubbles. Directly translated, it’s actually vomiting bubbles.
However, I just have an itsy bitsy feeling that maybe, just maybe you all like blowing bubbles more than vomiting bubbles.
It’s already a science lie, so might as well make it at least cutesy right?
Side note, I did have more dreams but remember none of them.
Currently TLing Chapter: 26
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
Blowing bubbles is very cute!
yep thanks for the chapter, love!!❤️
Ahhh i hate yang yan insulting people (I hope the translation is True )
Thank you for the chapter！
Ok this author is driving me nuts…is it that they don’t think we remember who XC is? Why tell us ONCE AGAIN that XC was aware of what’s going on…we know already. Just like we know the the MC thinks the ML is scum man and is not moved by all of his actions….yes, we know he’s not the original. Yes we know he’s indifferent and can’t wait to give birth to get the money….omg this arc would be so much shorter if the author would quit reminding us of what was read in the prior chapters 😰
Thank you for the chapter!
