Chapter 20:
The sound of Tu Yan's voice muffled in the quilt, and coupled with his mumbling, Gu Chenbai seemed to not have heard clearly.
He leaned down and patted Tu Yan's waist through the quilt, asking him, 'What did you just say?'Tu Yan felt tongue-tied and quickly exclaimed, 'I said, I don't know anything about your sensitive period or not, it has nothing to do with me!' Gu Chenbai chuckled lightly, 'I didn't say it had anything to do with you, I just dreamt that you came.' Tu Yan fell silent and after a while, he heard Gu Chenbai say, 'I knew you wouldn't come.' Tu Yan suddenly pounded the bed board inside the quilt, and Gu Chenbai calmly asked him, 'What do you want to eat tonight? Your medical records say you have severe morning sickness, so should we eat something light?' In each of his sentences, he deliberately avoided using the nickname 'Baby Rabbit'.
This made Tu Yan panic.
Previously, Gu Chenbai was always generous in expressing his love for Tu Yan; the sense of security he gave Tu Yan was airtight.
To the point that when they divorced, Tu Yan never thought that one day Gu Chenbai would easily take back his exclusive nickname and then retract his love without any bottom line.
Tu Yan thought that everything was within his control.
Gu Chaocheng was right; he and Gu Chenbai were divorced, and Gu Chenbai would no longer continue to love him.
Gu Chenbai would move on from this futile and meaningless six-month marriage with Tu Yan, forget about him, and embrace a new life.
Tu Yan suddenly cried, tears quietly flowing but not making any sound.
However, Gu Chenbai felt it, and he pulled down the quilt covering Tu Yan's head, looking at the tears pooling in the bed.
He couldn't bear it and hugged Tu Yan, patting his back to console him.
In that instant when Tu Yan was enveloped by Gu Chenbai's pheromones, he cried even harder.
That returning gentleness made him collapse completely.
From struggling to hold back tears to wailing loudly, it took a while before he finally calmed down.
Gu Chenbai's lapel was soaked by Tu Yan's tears.
He waited for Tu Yan to calm his emotions before letting go and putting Tu Yan back on the bed.
After Tu Yan had vented, he felt a bit embarrassed.
He turned his face away and grabbed the tissue on the bedside, saying awkwardly, 'I cried because of hormonal imbalance, not because of you.' 'Hmm, I know,' Gu Chenbai wasn't annoyed either.
He reached out to cover Tu Yan with the quilt and stuffed back the two long legs that were exposed, then casually said, 'If the child's biological father were here, his pheromones should be able to comfort you well.' Tu Yan's hand holding the tissue stopped, and his whole body froze.
'What?' Gu Chenbai didn't continue speaking, he just stood up and walked towards the door with his cane.
'If you don't want something light, then I'll cook you hot pot.
Do you want beef or lamb hot pot?' 'Gu Chenbai!' Gu Chenbai paused and turned to look at Tu Yan.
His face still had a gentle expression, but it made Tu Yan feel unfamiliar.
'Tu Yan, did you forget that we are already divorced?' 'I didn't forget,' Tu Yan stared into Gu Chenbai's eyes and said."
"We divorced on December 1st, and today is January 22nd, which means we have been divorced for fifty-three days," Gu Chenbai replied, returning to Tu Yan's bedside.
He leaned over oppressively, reaching out to touch Tu Yan's belly.
"You have the freedom to be with someone else, and you have the freedom to allow others into your reproductive organs.
I have no right to say anything, but...
Tu Yan, I can't be completely indifferent." Tu Yan stared blankly, unable to say a word.
"It should have happened during those days after our divorce, the days we didn't see each other, right?" Tu Yan opened his mouth, but the words were stuck on his lips.
Gu Chenbai withdrew his hand and self-mockingly shook his head.
"Unless the dream I had during my fertile period that day was true." Tu Yan felt that there was something he wanted to say, he really wanted to say it, but years of self-defense had made him afraid to expose himself.
Once a person wears a mask for too long, they will be looked down upon if they speak their true thoughts.
Tu Yan's friends were mocking him behind his back for his sincere words, and everyone enjoyed seeing him as a joke.
Gu Chenbai did too.
He fell in love at first sight with the Tu Yan portrayed in that youth film, a person as proud as a swan.
If he knew that Tu Yan was actually fragile, timid, unable to control his emotions, pretending to be mature, pretending to be aloof, but in reality always subconsciously hiding in a corner like an ugly duckling, he wouldn't have liked him so much.
He clenched his teeth, his heart pounding unevenly.
Gu Chenbai was still pressing on aggressively, "But I am really confused, Tu Yan, why do you still want me to help you through your heat period?" Tu Yan lowered his head, missing the best opportunity to argue, not knowing where to start.
Gu Chenbai grabbed the tissue from Tu Yan's hand and wiped away his tears.
Tu Yan's reddened eyes stung Gu Chenbai, he took a deep breath, and then turned and walked out.
He picked up his phone from the dining table and sent a few messages, receiving replies half a minute later.
The respondent was Ruan Nanqing, the third Miss of the HT Group.
[You can eat beef hot pot, onions, ginger, and garlic, as long as it's not too spicy or oily.
Pay attention to the balance of meat and vegetables for a balanced diet.] [Big brother...
pregnant women don't have that many taboos.] [Gu Chenbai, hundreds of thousands of omegas get pregnant every day in the world, why is your wife so delicate?] Gu Chenbai boiled the vegetables and dried his hands before picking up his phone and quickly typing a response.
[My little rabbit at home has always been delicate.] [Hehe, goodbye!] [Oh, by the way, Nanqing, is it true that he can't cry often now?] [Why do you want him to cry? Are you willing to let him?]\n [Of course, I'm not willing.] Just need to find a way to force him to open up his heart.
