“New methods of competing for favor.“

“Ahem.” Physician Liu waited for some time, and observed that the couple over there started to whisper to one another, fully disregarding him, and eventually couldn’t assist however remind them he was current.

The couple, who had been simply “clearing their earlier grievances,” out of the blue stopped. After realizing the state of affairs, Cheng Yun awkwardly smiled after which angrily pinched Yang Hongjin’s hand. He turned to Physician Liu with a composed expression and requested, “Physician Liu, how is that this younger Ge’er?”

Yang Hongjin, who was pinched, didn’t appear upset in any respect. He smiled fortunately and saved taking a look at Cheng Yun with a foolish grin. Physician Liu gave them a stern look and his tone grew to become severe when he talked about the younger Ge’er, “He caught a chilly, and his physique was already weak. I don’t know what occurred, nevertheless it’s made his situation worse. It’ll be tough to get better in a short while. And… “

Physician Liu sighed and shook his head, displaying clear concern in his expression. Cheng Yun was now additionally severe. He checked out Physician Liu after which within the route of the room, and requested, “And…?”

After placing the younger Ge’er’s hand again beneath the blanket and making him snug, Physician Liu led Cheng Yun and Yang Hongjin out of the room.

After a second of silence, Physician Liu continued, “This Ge’er is pregnant, a bit over two months. That is the essential time to maintain his well being and stabilize the being pregnant, however…”

He sighed once more, his expression revealing apparent fear.

Now even Cheng Yun was shocked. He checked out Physician Liu after which on the route of the room, and requested, “Then…”

Physician Liu most likely understood what he wished to ask and waved his hand, saying, “It’s lucky that you simply found it early. Though the being pregnant is unstable, with correct care, it could nonetheless be saved. It’s simply that this little one most likely doesn’t even know he’s pregnant but. Oh, what sort of crime is that this.”

Cheng Yun didn’t know what to say. He felt numb and couldn’t come to phrases with what he had simply discovered.

A pregnant Ge’er’s situation wasn’t as visibly obvious as a pregnant girl’s. In regular households, a pregnant Ge’er would proceed serving to with chores through the months apart from the primary two or three and the final two earlier than supply. So, though Cheng Yun knew Ge’er may even have youngsters, he had by no means seen a visibly pregnant Ge’er earlier than.

Figuring out one thing and witnessing it firsthand had been various things.

Earlier as we speak, he had quarreled with Yang Hongjin about having a toddler, though it was principally his personal frustration. However that incident left a mark on him.

Earlier than he may relax and replicate on the matter, he was confronted with the fact of a pregnant younger Ge’er. The impression of this information was akin to the shock he felt when he first realized he had traveled to this world.

“Physician Liu prescribed medication for the younger Ge’er. Cheng Yun had Yang Hongjin accompany Physician Liu again and convey the drugs on the way in which.

Physician Liu additionally gave him some directions and talked about that he would come again to examine on the younger Ge’er tomorrow. Then, he left with Yang Hongjin and returned to his residence.”

Cheng Yun adopted Physician Liu’s directions and made rice porridge. He stuffed a bowl with heat water and sat by the bedside, gently moistening the younger Ge’er’s lips with the spoon. He was cautious to not give an excessive amount of without delay, afraid of choking him. Nonetheless, the younger Ge’er appeared very thirsty and unconsciously licked his lips, then opened his mouth, following the spoon.

Seeing this, Cheng Yun step by step elevated the quantity, however because the younger Ge’er wasn’t totally awake, he was nonetheless cautious.

When the younger Ge’er had taken sufficient and fell again asleep, many of the water within the bowl was gone.

After tidying up, Cheng Yun sat by the younger Ge’er’s bedside, misplaced in thought as he checked out his delicate face.

Physician Liu’s phrases about “crime” made Cheng Yun perceive the implications – possible referring to the younger Ge’er’s background.

A younger Ge’er who had simply turn into pregnant, a time when he needs to be well-protected, had collapsed alone within the countryside through the harsh winter. In the event that they hadn’t discovered him early or if he had collapsed in entrance of another person’s home, they may have pushed him away considering he introduced dangerous luck. Contemplating how chilly it was, he may have been in actual hazard.

Cheng Yun’s gaze drifted all the way down to the younger Ge’er’s stomach, and recollections flooded again.

Cheng Yun had all the time felt that he wasn’t a toddler his mother and father favored. He even questioned whether or not his start into this world was proper or incorrect.

He had been relieved, prior to now, that he was homosexual, as he thought he wouldn’t have to fret about being a superb father. However the occasions of tonight pressured him to confront this difficulty severely.

He sighed as he regarded on the younger Ge’er and muttered softly, as if speaking to the opposite social gathering, but in addition to himself, “…I hope you possibly can survive safely. Your little one nonetheless wants you.”

Yang Hongjin returned residence after escorting Physician Liu and was unable to search out Cheng Yun. Ultimately, he discovered him within the storage room the place the younger Ge’er was.

Yang Hongjin’s expression modified instantly.

“Spouse, I’m again.” He stood on the door with an sad expression on his face.

Cheng Yun stood up, closed the door gently with out listening to Yang Hongjin’s expression, and requested, “The place’s the drugs Physician Liu gave you?”

Yang Hongjin hyped up his face, having simply had a disagreement with Cheng Yun earlier. He sighed and stated, “It’s on the desk.”

Cheng Yun supposed to organize the drugs and porridge for the younger Ge’er earlier than sleeping, however as quickly as he reached the desk, Yang Hongjin grabbed his hand.

“Spouse, I have to take a shower.” Yang Hongjin stated, “I’m all soiled.”

Cheng Yun glanced at him. He had been working backwards and forwards and was certainly a bit soiled.

So, he nodded and allowed him to go, saying, “Alright, go wash up. Simply be sure to not catch a chilly.” He then turned to organize the drugs within the kitchen.

Yang Hongjin was now annoyed. However contemplating he had simply upset his spouse earlier, he didn’t dare to defy his needs.

He regarded in the direction of the route of the kitchen, then on the storage room the place the younger Ge’er was, and no matter whether or not anybody may hear him, he huffed loudly, crammed with resentment. He then returned to his room to clean up and alter into clear garments.

After an evening of making ready medication and tending to the younger Ge’er, Cheng Yun positioned the porridge and medication in a coated pot. He suspected that the younger Ge’er’s household background was not strange, so he may be educated, so he wrote a be aware and positioned it by the younger Ge’er’s pillow, indicating that he may eat one thing and take the drugs after waking up, after which wash up earlier than sleeping.

When Cheng Yun returned to the room, Yang Hongjin was already asleep.

He fastidiously blew out the candle, then climbed into mattress as normal.

Nonetheless, after mendacity down for some time, Cheng Yun was shocked to search out himself unable to sleep.

Regardless of feeling fairly drained, he couldn’t go to sleep. He tossed and turned for a very long time earlier than giving up. He turned to take a look at the large fool mendacity together with his again to him. After a short inside wrestle, he sighed and slowly moved nearer.

He pressed his physique towards Yang Hongjin’s, resting his hand on his waist. He felt the heat emanating from him like a furnace, and Cheng Yun set free a glad sigh.

However within the subsequent second, Yang Hongjin out of the blue circled and pulled Cheng Yun into his arms with out saying a phrase.

Cheng Yun was startled and immediately grew to become extra awake. After regaining his senses, he checked out Yang Hongjin with some complaints and stated, “Are you pretending to sleep?”

Yang Hongjin was nonetheless sulking, trying fairly upset. He didn’t reply Cheng Yun’s query.

Now Cheng Yun lastly observed his temper. Discovering a cushty place in Yang Hongjin’s embrace, he touched his face and playfully requested, “What occurred? Who made my Hongjin indignant?”

Feeling his spouse attempting to consolation him, Yang Hongjin’s tense expression step by step relaxed.

With a tender ‘hmph,’ he stated, “My spouse doesn’t take baths with me.”

Cheng Yun recalled what had occurred earlier than and after the bathtub and deduced why this cussed man was upset. Amused, Cheng Yun intentionally teased him, “Hongjin, aren’t you grown up now? You don’t want your spouse’s assist to take a shower.”

This assertion continues to be utilizing Yang Hongjin’s personal phrases. The day earlier than yesterday, Cheng Yun resumed amassing crops from the villagers. Individuals from the village got here to weigh and promote their items one after one other. After Yang Hongjin discovered for some time, he began serving to with the weighing.

Coincidentally, at the moment, Cheng Yun had different issues to take care of and walked away for a second. When he returned, he supplied to assist Yang Hongjin. Nonetheless, that man stated, “Hongjin has grown up, he doesn’t want his spouse’s assist.”

Yang Hongjin stated it severely, and the individuals round teased him. Ultimately, he accomplished the duty single-handedly.

Cheng Yun remembered this incident for some time. Even now, when he thinks about Yang Hongjin’s severe look, he can’t assist however smile. At this opportune second, he introduced it as much as tease him.

Yang Hongjin frowned for a second and stated, “Rising up isn’t one thing that occurs in a single day. There’ll all the time be some areas that aren’t ok.”

This time, Cheng Yun couldn’t assist however chuckle.

This fool, he truly discovered to make use of Cheng Yun’s comforting phrases to counter him!

Seeing Cheng Yun laughing fortunately, Yang Hongjin wasn’t as indignant as earlier than. He pulled Cheng Yun into his arms and stated, “That little Ge’er, spouse, don’t deal with him properly.”

“Huh?” Cheng Yun twisted a bit, his arm resting on Yang Hongjin’s waist, unconsciously caressing his again with mild strokes. “That little Ge’er is sick. Since we’ve picked him up, we should always maintain him.”

Yang Hongjin furrowed his brows and stated, “Then throw him out once more.”

“You…” Cheng Yun smiled wryly, shaking his head. “Since we picked him up, now we have a duty. I wish to see in the event you dare to casually convey somebody residence once more sooner or later.”

Yang Hongjin pouted and added, “Then when he’s higher, throw him out. My spouse shouldn’t be good to him. My spouse ought to solely be good to me.”

Cheng Yun thought to himself, what sort of new means of competing for favor is that this?

He casually replied a few sentences, paused, and ultimately introduced up the subject, “That little Ge’er is carrying a bit child. We have now to take excellent care of him, or the child won’t survive.”

After saying this, he intentionally regarded as much as see Yang Hongjin’s expression, eager to see how he would react to the phrases “little child.”

He had anticipated Yang Hongjin to a minimum of be excited or hopeful, however unexpectedly, this man regarded detached, as if saying, “Since you set it that means, then we’ll must do it.”

Cheng Yun couldn’t consider it and continued, “And what about you? Do you want little infants?”

The actions of his arms unconsciously stopped, and he couldn’t inform the type of reply he wished to listen to from Yang Hongjin.

In consequence, the fool pouted, seemingly in a sulking but barely coaxing method, “Don’t like them. Hongjin doesn’t like something aside from his spouse.”

After saying that, as if feeling it wasn’t sufficient, he nervously added, “Spouse shouldn’t like them both, he ought to solely like me.”
