Knowing that Xu Ze returned home, Yang Yan quickly drove back after eating dinner that night. As soon as he opened the door and found that there was no one in the living room, Yang Yan’s heart felt empty. Then Auntie Dong came out and told Yang Yan that Xu Ze was reading in his room.
Yang Yan nodded, then opened the door of Xu Ze’s bedroom.
Three days have passed since the last night they met, yet Yang Yan seemed to feel that it was not only three days, but three months or even longer.
He walked into the room and to the front of Xu Ze.
Xu Ze put down the book as he raised his head to look at Yang Yan. The expression in this person’s eyes seemed to be getting stronger day by day. The tide seemed as if it wanted to drown someone.
Xu Ze curled his lips and smiled: “I went to see the baby room. It’s pretty good, the baby will definitely like it.”
Yang Yan’s eyes flickered as he said, “In two days let’s go to the hospital for another checkup.” Because of New Year, the monthly obstetric checkup was postponed. Now that Xu Ze was back, they should go to check it out.
“Okay.” Xu Ze naturally had no objection.
He put the book aside since Yang Yan was here. Xu Ze couldn’t just ignore the person and continue to read his book.
“With this situation of mine, I’ll probably have a c-section. I wonder where the cut will be made?” Xu Ze had never said these words to Yang Yan before. While he talked, the coldness in his eyes was much less. It seemed that after the Chinese New Year, Xu Ze had changed a bit.
“I will hire the best obstetrician.” Yang Yan’s gaze was heavy.
“In terms of time, it probably will be in mid-July. I always feel that it may affect the exam.”
Xu Ze seemed to be in a good mood today and talked a lot more than before.
“I will handle the problem of the exam. Even if you don’t go to take the exam, you won’t fail.” Although their school was an institution of higher learning, it’s not like there weren’t some hidden operations.
Yang Yan’s answer didn’t surprise Xu Ze. He knew that with Yang Yan’s power, he could do these things.
But it was enough for him to take Yang Yan’s money. He didn’t need Yang Yan to do this for him again.
“No need, at most I’ll stay back a grade. School life is quite interesting. If I can stay for one more year, then I’ll just stay here longer.” Xu Ze said with a slight smile.
Seeing the overflowing, warm smile on Xu Ze’s face, Yang Yan nodded. Xu Ze could do whatever he wanted to, he would always satisfy Xu Ze.
A few days later, Yang Yan drove Xu Ze to the hospital for the obstetric checkup. Compared with the last time he saw it, the baby on the screen seemed to be bigger. The outline of the whole body was particularly obvious. They could even see that the baby was awake during the color Doppler ultrasound. The baby was gently kicking his legs in Xu Ze’s belly.
Xu Ze felt the subtle little movements. Just like Yang Yan, he was staring at the screen.
Recently, Xu Ze’s abdominal pain has been significantly less. His body was healthy so the baby was also healthy.
After the inspection, the two returned.
Yang Yan called Auntie Dong in advance and said that they would not go home for dinner tonight, but would eat outside.
The car was driving on the road. Yang Yan knew that a newly opened restaurant’s mushroom soup pot was okay. He had eaten it with the people in his family during New Year.
At that time, he thought that after Xu Ze came back, he would take Xu Ze to eat it too.
When they went there, the store was doing very well. It was almost full of people, so they still needed to wait a while until there was an empty seat. Yang Yan asked Xu Ze what he wanted to do. Xu Ze smelled the fragrance of the soup floating in the air. It was still early anyway, so it didn’t matter if they waited.
The two sat in the resting area and waited. It should be said that it was quite a coincidence since after waiting for a few minutes, they actually saw an acquaintance.
Xie Chengzhou and Jiang Li came to the restaurant together to eat.
When the two of them saw Yang Yan and Xu Ze, the four expressions were practically the same. They obviously didn’t expect to meet here.
Everyone knew one another. So naturally, since they arrived at the same restaurant, they definitely would be seated together.
As soon as Xie Chengzhou saw Xu Ze, he basically ignored Jiang Li who was following him. Xie Chenzhou walked over and sat beside Xu Ze, staring at Xu Ze without blinking.
“Xu Ze, when did you come back ?” Xie Chengzhou also knew about Xu Ze’s return to his hometown for the New Year. However it wasn’t that he deliberately asked about it, but because of Yang Yan. After Xu Ze left, the state expressed by Yang Yan’s entire personality was as if something important had left.
Speaking of which, after Xu Ze left early from the previous picnic that was halfway on the mountain, Xie Chengzhou thought about things carefully after returning to his home. Although he still liked Xu Ze, at the same time, he could see clearly that Xu Ze didn’t have even a sliver of interest in him. Even if it was Yang Yan who was living with Xu Ze, the gaze Xu Ze had while looking at Yang Yan was the same as when he looked at other people.
Yet, Yang Yan still shoved himself deeper.
Since even Yang Yan’s heart could be captured by Xu Ze, Xie Chengzhou thought that maybe he was no exception.

As for Jiang Li, Xu Ze’s stand-in that he found, Xie Chengzhou originally planned to give him some money and then let him leave. However, if Jiang Li left, he still might have to find someone later. The new one wasn’t as easy to use as the old one, not to mention that Jiang Li was docile and untroublesome. Xie Chengzhou thought about letting Jiang Li continue to accompany him. Even after Jiang Li graduated, if Jiang Li was still as obedient as he was now, Xie Chengzhou would find a good job for Jiang Li.
But however you say it, a substitute was a substitute. A substitute could not be compared with the original.
Once the original appeared, Xie Chengzhou’s eyes basically could no longer see the substitute.
Facing Xie Chengzhou’s question, Xu Ze’s smile was very shallow. His attitude was similar to before, neither cold nor indifferent.
“Just a few days back.” After saying this, Xu Ze looked over to Jiang Li who was standing behind Xie Chengzhou.
If it was changed to someone else, their heart would probably be uncomfortable seeing their gold owner have their eyes filled with another person right in front of them.
The former Jiang Li was indeed a little uncomfortable. However, after he met Xu Ze, he could understand very well why Xie Chengzhou would like Xu Ze.
Because even he was captured by Xu Ze’s good looks and unique temperament the first time he saw Xu Ze.
While Xie Chengzhou was staring at Xu Ze, Jiang Li’s situation was basically the same as Xie Chengzhou.
If he hadn’t cared about his identity, he might have also rushed in front of Xu Ze.
Seeing Xu Ze suddenly looking up at him, Jiang Li felt happy but also worried that others would see that he liked Xu Ze. Jiang Li controlled the emotions on his face.
“Jiang Li, I still haven’t thanked you for the last time when you called someone to help me.”
“Thank you.”
Xu Ze suddenly remembered this matter after seeing Jiang Li.
Jiang Li’s eyes lit up slightly. His fingers bent and his heart was happy because Xu Ze remembered his name only after seeing him once.
“No need for thanks, it’s good that you’re okay.” Jiang Li shook his head and revealed a smile. The smile this time seemed even more real and sincere than when he was facing Xie Chengzhou.
Xie Chengzhou frowned slightly. Why didn’t he find out before that the substitute lover he found actually also liked the person he liked to look at?
This was actually the first time he saw a situation like this.
Xie Chengzhou’s gaze was strange. Jiang Li glanced over and his heart froze for a moment. The other party’s eyes were sharp as if he could see through Jiang Li’s little thoughts in an instant. Jiang Li hurriedly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xu Ze again.
The atmosphere by the people here seemed weird. As a bystander, Yang Yan, who had been silent all this time, vaguely noticed some situations. He was quite surprised. The courage of this lover Xie Chengzhou had found was actually not small.
However, Yang Yan didn’t put this person called Jiang Li into his eyes at all. This person didn’t even have the qualifications to be his love rival.
Someone in the restaurant had finished eating so they checked out and left. The waiter came over to inform people that there was a spot. The four stood up one after another.
Yang Yan’s hand hovered behind Xu Ze’s back. There were many people in the restaurant and there were also waiters coming and going. Yang Yan held Xu Ze to protect Xu Ze and the baby in his belly.
The seats had already been cleaned up so the four of them sat down.
Yang Yan took the menu. When it was time to order, he always based on Xu Ze’s preferences. If Xu Ze didn’t like it, he wouldn’t order it.
After ordering, Yang Yan gave the menu to Xie Chengzhou, letting the other person see if there was anything to add.
Xie Chengzhou roughly swept over it with a glance before giving the menu to the waiter waiting.
The dishes came out very fast. After a short while, they put a plate of a dish on the table. The soup pot that was ordered was beef mushroom soup because Xu Ze liked to eat beef. The beef was cooked quickly so it floated up after a while. Yang Yan used his chopsticks to put the beef into Xu Ze’s bowl. At the same time, he told Xu Ze that the meat was hot so be careful.
The two people sitting on the opposite side looked at Yang Yan and Xu Ze’s intimate behavior, their hearts feeling a little heavy.
During the meal, Xie Chengzhou took the initiative to start a topic: “It’s still a while before school is going to start/ Yang Yan, did you have any plans in mind?”
Yang Yan, who was named, looked at Xie Chengzhou. Yang Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“I haven’t thought about it yet. Did you have any?” Yang Yan asked back.
“I’m finding a place with suitable temperature to travel to for a while.” Xie Chengzhou smiled.
“That’s great.” Yang Yan also smiled.
“Then why don’t we arrange it to go together?” Xie Chengzhou glanced at Xu Ze who was next to Yang Yan. Xu Ze was burying his head on eating meat. His cheeks bulged slightly and his lips were crimson, looking extremely cute.
When his gaze returned to Yang Yan, Yang Yan’s expression contained some coldness.
“If it’s going together then there’s no need. The place you like is probably not suitable for Xu Ze.” Yang Yan’s words obviously contained some meaning inside.
Jiang Li, who was drinking soup, raised his eyes to look at Yang Yan and Xie Chengzhou. The two men were clearly fighting each other with words.
Jiang Li looked at Xu Ze again. Xu Ze was focused on eating as if he didn’t hear what the other two said. But don’t mention it, Jiang Li lowered his eyes, he suddenly felt that whether it was Yang Yan or Xie Chengzhou, both of them were like children who were fighting.
Jiang Li was amused by his sudden thought. He secretly held it back, though the corners of his mouth still raised involuntarily.
Just then, Xu Ze glanced at Jiang Li and saw the smile on Jiang Li’s face.
Jiang Li noticed that Xu Ze was looking at him and looked back. Against Xu Ze’s slight inquiry, Jiang Li felt his ears become a bit warm.
The soup in Xu Ze’s bowl was gone and the spoon was also placed on the opposite side. He told Yang Yan, “Help me get the spoon.”
Although Xu Ze didn’t call him directly, Xu Ze’s line of sight was on Yang Yan. Yang Yan reached out his hand to take the spoon. However at the same time, his hand stretched out, two other hands also stretched out.
The three people who stretched out their hands looked at one another, obviously not expecting the other two to do the same thing.
The three hands stopped in midair. Xu Ze was also surprised by this scene. The three turned their eyes and stared at Xu Ze as if waiting for Xu Ze to make a sound.
Xu Ze didn’t say a word, got up slightly, and took the spoon on the other side.
After getting the spoon, Xu Ze scooped the soup into his empty bowl, not looking at the three people with different strange expressions.
Holding up his spoon, Xu Ze blew on it twice before drinking it.
After putting down the bowl, those three people were still staring at Xu Ze. It was as if they had not blinked and as if someone had taped their body acupuncture points.
Xu Ze simply wanted to sigh.
“Why are you all standing there? Would looking at me make you full?” Xu Ze asked with a smile.
Then the eyes of those people told Xu Ze that indeed they could be full just by looking at him eating.
He was not the one who was not eating and starving their stomach. He said everything he could say and he didn’t want to say anything else. Xu Ze buried his head and concentrated on eating.
Yang Yan moved first, though he took his chopsticks to pick up food for Xu Ze. After putting it in Xu Ze’s bowl, Yang Yan’s mouth was slightly hooked up. His eyes were indifferent, yet there was some kind of attitude of superiority in them. He looked at the other two. Wanting to compete with him, no one was qualified to.
Xu Ze glanced at Yang Yan’s expression in the corner of his eyes. He said in his heart childish, but he didn’t say anything out loud. He slowly ate the food that Yang Yan got for him.
After this meal, Xu Ze was full. As for whether the other people were full, he didn’t know nor would he go and ask. It had no relation to him.
After eating, they parted with Xie Chengzhou and Jiang Li on the side of the road. Xu Ze got into Yang Yan’s car.
In the car, Yang Yan looked ahead but asked Xu Ze if there was any place he wanted to travel to. It just so happened that he had a lot of time recently, so he could accompany Xu Ze to go around.
These few days, Xu Ze had mostly stayed at home. The temperature was cold, so he didn’t want to go outside. When he was at home, he mostly sat on the sofa with a blanket on his lap.
When asked where he wanted to go, Xu Ze naturally thought of what Xie Chengzhou mentioned during the meal.
Xu Ze had no specific city in mind. Because of his physical condition, it was impossible for him to walk back and forth. He could only find a place with suitable scenery and temperature for a walk.
“A place where the temperature is a bit higher. It’s fine as long as it’s not too cold.” Xu Ze didn’t ask for much.
Yang Yan then gave an address.
Xu Ze nodded, expressing no other opinion.
Yang Yan was in charge of the process. As a pregnant person, Xu Ze didn’t need to worry about these matters. He only needed to take someone with him when the time came.
Yang Yan still had a few things to deal with. After done with those, he dragged his suitcase together with Xu Ze to the airport this afternoon.
So close to the baby chapter! I can’t wait for it! 
Two very long dreams this week.
April 15, 2022:
So this dream was like a combination of a bunch of stuff. There was Overgear, a great VR-game manhwa, Minecraft, and a few other miscellaneous things.
This was a very long dream, so what I basically retained were like fragments, the final quest, and the part right before I woke up.
The background of this dream was an RPG VR game with star ranks, 1-star for the worst, and 6-star for the best.
I am guessing on the 6-star since I don’t remember any mentions of it, but usually, in games, there are the ranks, common, uncommon, rare, unique, legendary, and mythical. They also correspond with 6 colors respectively, white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red.
Now with the game ranks out of the way, there are also classes in the game. I obviously got the best one, a mythical rank. I don’t remember the name, but how it functioned was basically the same as Pagma’s Successor in Overgeared.
It’s a blacksmith class where you gain stats points depending on the rank of the equipment you crafted. I also ignore all restrictions on equipment, meaning I could wear everything but with a penalty of course.
Out of the fragments I remember, I joined a guild and became one of the top players. Another was that the game was recently released, meaning everyone was still at an early level.
Then the final quest I remember was helping what I think was a priest in a dark cave. This quest was really hard so I called my guild members to help out while I focused on protecting the priest. I’m pretty sure I just sat on the sideline and didn’t do much.
After the quest was done, everyone got a small reward for contributing to the quest. I received the main reward, a full 5-star set of equipment. During this time the highest was 4-star equipment that I crafted, so this was the first-ever legendary equipment and it was even a full set of one.
So in secret, I switched out my current 4-star pure white iron armor, to the new 5-star golden armor. There was an option in the game to change your current set’s look so I changed it back to the previous 4-star armor. I also hid the viewing option, so only I could see its information.
This was because people, even the ones in my guild, would get jealous and become greedy for the first legendary set of equipment.
After all that, I called some of my friends and went to a place. The game suddenly changed to Minecraft and we came in front of a blue, prismarine pyramid. We walked into it and walked to the center.
There was a hole in the center which then I jumped into. I started to fly with my elytra down the hole. What I saw was water in the beginning then was what seemed to be infinite bookcases and enchanting tables.
During the middle of that, I woke up. The beginning of this dream was fun but the last part was just confusing. Why did it change to Minecraft of all things?
April 16, 2022:
This dream was also very long and I could only remember fragments and two scenes in the dream, one being near the end and the other being the final part.
This was a dungeon invasion manhwa. A few examples are Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader.
It’s basically where portals are called dungeons in which monsters travel to earth. There are hunters that have skills and stuff that fight and protect the earth from those monsters. In my dream, there were also gods, so I think it’s closer to Omniscient Reader.
There was a ranking system of your power, stages 1-10. Stage 1 was normal humans, while Stage 7 was God. I don’t know what Stages 8-10 are, but they’re probably very strong.
From what I remember, I was a solo, lone-wolf, op person again. I also had relationships with the God of the Sun and God of the Moon for some reason. I also had a very close best friend.
Now for the first scene, I remember being in a hotel-like building with 15 children. It was protected by the God of the Moon, who was, let’s just say, a very good-looking lady. I was staying there because there were hunters outside hunting me down.
But at some point, I decided to leave, but the God of the Moon stopped me. We argued and the God of the Moon mentioned my previous lover. I analyzed based on the fragments that I remember and I believed the God of the Sun was my ex-lover. Also, their gender was never specified, and by the way the God of Moon was talking, they’re probably dead.
Anyways, to convince the God of the Moon to let me out, I kissed her. I don’t know why, but my dream self did that. The God of the Moon was convinced after talking a little longer, and she also made me the successor, making me the next God of the Moon.
After that, I left the building, and apparently, I could control when it was day and night now. I could move the sun and moon to change it to wherever time it was. This also made me think that I’m also the successor to the God of the Sun, which makes kissing the God of the Moon even weirder.
Then came a part about a car, which has so much happening that I’m giving up on explaining it. Just know that the car door functioned weird and that I hit my IRL sister in the head in my dream for reasons.
Now for the last scene that I remember. It was the final fight of earth against the monsters. While they were fighting, I traveled to the god’s realm to truly become the God of the Sun and the Moon. Also, I’m guessing the God of the Moon died too.
After doing the trail and what was needed, I talked to the system that controlled everything. There was a reward, a wish that could grant anything to the strongest person that survived the final fight.
I told my wish to it in advance, cause I know that I was the strongest. The wish was to turn back time to before the dungeons ever began and have Earth permanently exit this game.
After that, I left the God’s realm and joined the final battle. My best friend was there fighting too. We fought well and defeated every last monster. Then a Stage 7 God showed up and congratulated us.
I walked forward and basically said something along the lines of, “F*ck you and all the Gods watching. After beating this I will come for your lives. Prepare to die.”
The God present laughed at what I could do. Even if it was just one stage apart, we were ranked at Stage 6. It was impossible for me to beat him.
Then I revealed my divinity, the Sun and the Moon. there were like a golden sun and white moon lines behind my head. However, I was still Stage 6, right at the edge of being Stage 7, because I just received them.
The God still mocked me, though still impressed by me having two of the divinity. I then revealed the item I received from the trail in the God’s realm.
It was the Scroll Of Day And Night. Its effects were that any of my summons would become one Stage higher than my own, becoming a Stage 7.
I then obviously summoned a bunch and killed that God. After that, I warned the Gods watching that I’m coming for them before my wish came into effect.
I returned to the past but I had to leave my family. I exited Earth and created a protective barrier around it. Then the POV changed to farmland. It was my best friend. Take a guess at what’s gonna happen next!
My best friend had a skill that let him also remember what happened. He shouted out loud into the sky that I also somehow heard from space. My best friend wanted to join me and I agreed. We then began on our journey to kill the Gods.
I woke up and the dream ended like that. And yeah, I am shipping my dream self with that best friend. I still don’t know what the ex-lover God of the Sun was nor why I kissed the God of the Moon. That was very weird and I think I might be Bi.
