Translator: WhenEverIWantTo
Editor: Anna
After leaving the hospital, Xu Ze walked in front while two people followed behind.
Both of their gazes were fixated on Xu Ze. If it were someone else being fought over by these two, they most likely would have a difficult time choosing. After all, they were both rich and handsome.
It’s a pity that Xu Ze’s heart was like a mirror. He was completely spotless.
Turning around, Xu Ze looked at Xie Chengzhou. Because he was looking at Xie Chengzhou and not Yang Yan, Yang Yan clenched his fists again and his fingernails sunk into his palms. It seemed that only the sharp pain could restrain the constant savageness gushing out of his heart.
“Thank you for today, thank you for rushing to pick me up at the first moment after receiving Jiang Li’s call. Also thank you for driving me to the hospital just now. Thank you very much.” Xu Ze sincerely thanked Xie Chengzhou.
The smile hanging on Xie Chengzhou’s face slowly disappeared after hearing Xu Ze’s thanks.
Xu Ze thanked him politely and distantly, which meant that in Xu Ze’s eyes, they didn’t have much of a relationship. Thinking about it carefully, they really didn’t have any relationship. The child in Xu Ze’s stomach was not his, but Yang Yan’s.
The corners of Xie Chengzhou’s lips curved, but it was a smile that wasn’t a smile. It was the first time he hated the phrase ‘thank you’ so much.
“No need for thanks. You can find me anytime and I’ll be there when called.” Xie Chengzhou said with a warm smile.
“I presume you probably still have some things to do, so I won’t be taking your car to go back. I’ll just call a car.” Xie Chengzhou did help him, but at the same time, Xu Ze also knew what kind of thoughts Xie Chengzhou had on him. He had thanked him when he was supposed to, but other than that, Xu Ze’s attitude was still the same as before. He didn’t want to have any more interaction with Xie Chengzhou.
Let alone give him any opportunities or whatever.
“Let’s go, it’s getting late. I want to go back, lie down, and have a good rest.” Xu Ze looked over to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan passed by Xie Chengzhou, leaving him behind. As he went to walk in front of Xu Ze, his eyes lined up with Xu Ze’s gleaming peach blossom eyes when he looked down. Yang Yan’s heart couldn’t be more clear. For Xu Ze, there was no difference between him and Xie Chengzhou.
However, was there really nothing?
Yang Yan lowered his eyes and focused on Xu Ze’s abdomen. The child inside was his. Just based on this point alone, Xie Chengzhou wouldn’t have the slightest chance of winning if he wanted to compete with him.
Yang Yan called a high-end car with his phone. There were taxis driving by the roadside, but those taxis were generally cheap and also uncomfortable to sit on. It was better to call a high-end car. As for the cost, that amount didn’t matter to Yang Yan at all.

The online car came very quickly, only taking a few minutes. Yang Yan and Xu Ze got into the car. While outside the car, Xie Chengzhou was still standing there and did not leave.

The car started and Xie Chengzhou was left behind.
Yang Yan glanced sideways at Xie Chengzhou behind them for a moment, then retracted his gaze without a word.
Yang Yan then turned to look at Xu Ze who was beside him. Xu Ze was pursing his lips and his eyes blinking slowly as if his thoughts had drifted to some other place.
“No need to worry too much.” Yang Yan went to hold Xu Ze’s hand, telling Xu Ze not to worry about his body and the child.
Xu Ze’s neck turned slightly and he stared down at Yang Yan’s hand that was holding his. Right before Xu Ze wanted to take his hand away, Yang Yan let go first.
“Your hand’s quite cold, is it a little chilly?” Yang Yan asked, but without waiting for Xu Ze to reply, he turned around and told the driver to increase the temperature in the car.
The driver turned up the temperature and the inside of the car quickly warmed up.
The driver noticed the situation between the two boys in the back of the car. He could see that the two were probably a same-sex couple.
Judging by their age, the two were still in college. They were both handsome and attractive. When such two people fall in love together, some girls might feel sad.
The driver made some stuff up in his head for a while, before he continued to concentrate on driving.
The car stopped outside the community. They went out for a trip and originally wanted to have a good time on the mountain, yet the unexpected situation occurred, which led to the complete loss of the picnic mood and coldness solidifying on Yang Yan’s face. Yang Yan brought Xu Ze back home.
Aunt Dong was cleaning the rooms. When she saw the two suddenly come back, she seemed a little curious. However, she was obviously aware of the abnormal atmosphere between the two, so Aunt Dong didn’t ask any questions. She poured the two hot water, sending one cup to Xu Ze’s hand.
After Xu Ze said his thanks, he took the water and drank most of it.
“If your body isn’t feeling well, then you should change to sleepwear and lay on the bed.” Yang Yan’s gaze was heavy.
Xu Ze took another sip of water, and nodded, “En.”
“I’ll pour it for you.” Seeing that Xu Ze was about to get up to get more water, Yang Yan motioned Xu Ze not to move and took the cup away.
After pouring more water, Yang Yan didn’t give Xu Ze the water cup but stood by the sofa. Xu Ze squinted his eyes and met up with Yang Yan’s eyes. Seeing the meaning in Yang Yan’s eyes, Xu Ze got up and walked toward the bedroom.
The water glass was placed on the bedside table. Yang Yan brought the sleepwear from the side for Xu Ze to change into. Seeing Xu Ze change into sleepwear and sit down at the head of the bed, Yang Yan took the remote control and turned on the air conditioner. After turning it on, Yang Yan went to check the window. It was not completely closed, leaving just a tiny little gap.
After doing these, Yang Yan wanted to say something to Xu Ze but then his phone rang. Yang Yan left the room and went outside to answer the phone.
Someone from his family called him and asked him to pick up someone at the airport. His Uncle Li’s daughter came back from abroad. They told him after picking her up, to have dinner together along the way.
Yang Yan furrowed his brows. It was only after the other side had urged him a few times, before he nodded and said yes.
Uncle Li’s daughter?
Yang Yan vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person who went to study abroad a few years ago. He did not know what they wanted to do coming back at this time.
Yang Yan’s car was not driven back and was still on the mountain. He called Cao Mingyong and asked Cao Mingyong to find someone to help him drive it back. He had another car, but that car was not here but at his previous residence.
Yang Yan took a taxi over to his house, switched into his car, before he drove to the airport. The person from his family sent Uncle Li’s daughter’s phone number, and at the same time mentioned the time she was getting off the plane.
Yang Yan didn’t call that girl. It was only after the car drove over and parked in the parking lot, that he sent her a text message. He simply said to call him back after getting off the plane.
Sitting in the car, Yang Yan listened to music with headphones on. He turned off the music after listening for a while, then called Aunt Dong at home. He asked about Xu Ze’s situation there.
“He is holding his phone and watching TV in his bedroom.” Aunt Dong replied.
“Bring some sweets and pastries to Xu Ze.” The doctor mentioned that Xu Ze’s physique was not that good and his dizziness was due to anemia. So he told Aunt Dong to bring sweets to Xu Ze.
“En.” Aunt Dong nodded. After hanging up the phone, Aunt Dong went to get some snacks and delivered them to Xu Ze’s room.
When putting it on the bedside table, Aunt Dong mentioned one more thing. She said, “Yang Yan just called, asking me about your situation, and asked me to prepare these for you.”
Xu Ze put down his phone and turned to look at the sweets that Aunt Dong brought into the room. It seemed that just looking at them was quite appetizing. Xu Ze reached out his hand and took a piece to eat. He tasted the sweet and flavourful taste when they entered his mouth. It was quite good.
“When did he leave?” Xu Ze asked while eating.
“It seems that he answered a call before leaving.” Auntie Dong said.
“Will he be back for dinner tonight?”
Aunt Dong then heard Xu Ze continuing.
“I will call and ask him in a moment.” The corner of Xu Ze’s mouth raised to a smile.
Author has something to say:
Mini Theater:
Facing love rivals from everywhere and nowhere, Yang Yan ate vinegar on one side, and on the other, he didn’t dare to say anything. If he did, Wifey would coldly stare at him. His life was so difficult. Why was Wifey ever so cute? The number one cutest in the universe? Everyone wanted to fight him for Wifey. He’s angered into a 200 pounds large fatty!

Abusing Gong, no discussion! Happy, triple happy!
If I could type out 4000 words in a moment, then tomorrow would be a double update with 9000 words. If I can’t, then 5000 words.
My personal TL fun fact:
For the dialogues, aka when characters talk to one another, I try to make them more realistic.
For example, when the dialogue is between two friends or informal(which is practically every dialogue), I usually use contractions like isn’t and can’t.
For basically every dialogue between Yang Yan and Xu Ze, I have been including contractions very often in Yang Yan’s dialogue.
This is because, and I’m most likely overanalyzing/adding extra plot, informal speech is used by friends or in a relaxed environment. So Yang Yan using this basically wants Xu Ze to put down his guard, become closer, and trust him more.
So yeah. That’s just a tit-bit that I wanted to say since I forget everything about the dream I had, other than the fact it’s a fantasy world with magic and that it was a long dream. I remember it being very cool or at least interesting, so it’s a shame I can’t remember any of it.
Anna: Last week I made a huge mistake downloading genshin. It was my first time playing rpg and I never thought it would be so addicting! I missed last week’s update just like that. I had to uninstall it as I would be having my finals soon and I was losing control TT.TT…. so what happened last week won’t happen again.
And this Tuesday is Chinese New year! Advanced wishes to readers.
Weiwt: … Learn better self-control. But yeah, Happy Chinese New year!
