Ling Qing choked. He’s never thought about it, don’t think, don’t ask!

Yu Chen saw him suddenly cough and patted him on the back, handing him a glass of water.

“Don’t worry about it right now. We’re not able to have one of our own, so when the time comes, we’ll just adopt.”

Ling Qing: …

Ling Qing touched his abdomen silently. When he crossed over, he checked diligently to ensure he was really a man. He didn’t understand how he could bear a child?

Where would it grow? Did he have a womb?

He was terrified at the thought. He wasn’t a scientist, but he even wanted to dissect himself to find out!

Yu Mu nodded in agreement. After they ate, she spoke to them for a while before going to bed.

Ling Qing and Yu Chen went upstairs and unpacked their luggage.

“Tomorrow, my uncles will come over.” Yu Chen suddenly said, “I’m warning you in advance, so don’t be surprised.”

Ling Qing was confused. “What are they coming over for? You invited them over?”

“Of course not. They wanted to go out with my parents, but my parents refused, saying that we were visiting. So they said they wanted to come over to see you.”

Ling Qing: …

“Why do I feel like a monkey at the zoo?”

Yu Chen smiled, “Relax, my uncles are nice. I’ve prepared red packets for you.”

“Are they big*?” Ling Qing was curious. *in reference to how fat the packets are

Yu Chen: …

“That’s the only thing you’re focused on?”

Ling Qing said unreservedly, “Is there anything more important than money in this world?”

Yu Chen: …

“Nothing except gold.” Ling Qing gave a classic answer.

Yu Chen: …

Yu Chen once again felt that what Ling Qing really liked was his money.

That evening, the two showered early and changed into their pajamas, laying on the bed.

Before going to bed, Ling Qing didn’t forget to pat the empty quilt, warning Yu Chen, “We’re sleeping separately. Don’t get close to me.”

Yu Chen was leaning on the other side of the bed, reading a book. When he heard this, he retorted without batting an eye. “Do you think I want to get close to you?”

I didn’t think so.

Laying on his side, Ling Qing comfortably wrapped himself in a quilt and peeked at Yu Chen.

Yu Chen, who was gazed at for a long time, could not help but finally ask, “Is something wrong?”

“No.”

“You’re staring at me.”

“It’s to nourish my spirits before bed,” Ling Qing said, “Don’t worry about it. The way I look at you is the same way I look at peonies.”

Yu Chen: …

He quietly closed his book and turned off the bedside lamp. “Sleep.”

When Ling Qing saw the room darken, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Yu Chen was used to working and woke at 7 o’clock per his biological clock. He tried to get up but found he was being hugged and was unable to move. Opening his eyes, he saw Ling Qing, who had been on the other side of bed last night, had moved over to embrace him.

Ling Qing’s head was on his neck and his arms were wrapped around his waist.

Yu Chen didn’t know what to say. Just who was it who had said ‘we’re sleeping separately, don’t get close to me’ last night?

Not even one night had passed before he came running into his arms.

And he still said he wanted to get divorced?

Only by letting go would you be able to better grasp someone.

Yu Chen looked at the man in his arms and shook his head, pulling the covers up to cover Ling Qing. His sleeping posture was almost like a kid’s.

Raising his arms, Yu Chen tried to get out of bed when he heard Ling Qing whisper sleepily, “Baby, don’t.”

Yu Chen: …

Yu Chen looked at Ling Qing who had his eyes closed. The way he said that was awfully natural… like he was used to saying it. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, “Who am I?”

Ling Qing didn’t respond.

Yu Chen moved his arms again, trying to pull away.

This seemed to annoy Ling Qing, who caught his hands and raised them to his lips, kissing them. It seemed he wasn’t quite awake yet. “Xiao Yu, be good.”

Yu Chen: … He didn’t know what to feel.

He smiled helplessly as he watched Ling Qing doze off.

Forget it, as long as you know whose arms you’re in, just go back to sleep. As Yu Chen thought this, he closed his eyes, going back to sleep.

A while later, Ling Qing finally roused. He tiredly opened his eyes to see Yu Chen before him. He froze, staring blankly behind Yu Chen before turning to look behind himself.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, it seemed like it was he who had approached Yu Chen. As he thought about this, he tried to move back to his side only to notice he was grasping Yu Chen’s hand. He instantly released the hand.

God, he almost died of fright.

However, Ling Qing quickly remembered that he couldn’t get pregnant from holding hands. What was he afraid of!

While he contemplated, he couldn’t help but gaze at Yu Chen. This kind of beauty that he didn’t get tired of looking at was really refreshing!

Especially to wake up with this kind of stunner next to you, it was a really good way to start the day. Ling Qing stared quietly for a while and couldn’t help but grab the hand he had just released.

Either way, holding hands wouldn’t get him pregnant. It was a really convenient way of taking advantage of him.

Alas, it would be great if Yu Chen was a shou. If he were a scum shou, he would have nothing to be afraid of. Unfortunately, he was a gong.

Gongs were horrible, especially those who could impregnate people! It was too scary!

He had a beauty at his side but he couldn’t sleep with him. It was so dreadful.

Ling Qing couldn’t help but sigh, hoping that this world would provide him someone who suited his tastes more than Yu Chen. He shook Yu Chen’s hand for a while, and just when Yu Chen seemed about to wake, he hastily let go of his hand and returned to his spot on the bed.

When Yu Chen woke up and saw he had returned to his side of the bed, he guessed that Ling Qing had woken up at some point.

He glanced at his watch to see it was already 40 minutes past the hour so he got out of bed to wash up. Ling Qing took advantage of this time and sat up, pretending he had just woken.

“Awake?” Yu Chen asked when he exited the bathroom to see him sitting up.

Ling Qing nodded, “You’re awake so early.”

‘Earlier than you’, Yu Chen thought. Otherwise, how would he know that Ling Qing had snuck away earlier?

“When you’re awake, go wash up and get something to eat downstairs.”

In response to this, Ling Qing threw off the covers and got out of bed.

As he passed, Yu Chen deliberately asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”

Ling Qing: ….

Ling Qing was unfazed, “It was fine, how about you?”

“It was fine. I dreamt I was swimming and an octopus grabbed my hand, refusing to let go.”

Ling Qing: …

Ling Qing smiled, “Maybe he coveted your beauty and tried to take you back as the Queen of the Sea.”

“Well, then I guess I need to make some octopus balls.”

Ling Qing: …

“I want to eat octopus balls,” he stated.

“You just woke up.”

“But I’m hungry,” Ling Qing insisted, “We should have a good breakfast. Can’t we eat octopus balls?”

“What are you going on about?” Yu Chen was almost fooled by him, “Breakfast should be done already, go wash up. I’ll wait for you.”

Ling Qing made an “oh” of assent and walked to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

After 2 o’clock, Yu Chen’s uncles arrived, bringing with them his aunts as well as his younger cousins. There were four children, one boy and three girls — two of the girls were twins.

Yu Chen introduced Ling Qing to his elders before introducing the kids to him. “The boy is Lele, the twin with the straight hair is the older sister, Huanhuan. The curly haired one is the little sister, Xinxin, and the quiet one is Yueyue.”

Ling Qing snickered, “Your family’s childhood nicknames sound really happy*.” *All of their nicknames are some form of “happy happy”

“It just turned out that way.”

“What about you?” Ling Qing asked, “Chenchen? It doesn’t match.”

Yu Chen was dumbfounded. “I’m more than 10 years older than them, how could I be like them.”

“Just don’t call yourself Chenchen, just call yourself Yuyu, Yu* from cheerful.” *He means yú (愉) from 愉悦, instead of yú (于) from Yu Chen’s name, yú yú (愉愉) means happy happy

“Then you too,” Yu Chen eyed him mockingly, “Call yourself Qingqing, Qing* from festive.” *He’s talking about qing (庆) 喜庆 instead of qīng (青) from Ling Qing’s name qing qing (庆庆) means happy happy

Ling Qing instantly let out a laugh, “Baby, you’re pretty funny.”

“No, you’re funny.”

“That’s right,” Ling Qing said without any modesty, “I was born this way.”

Yu Chen, “…You’re shameless.”

“What’s the point of having shame?” Ling Qing countered, “Can shame be eaten? I have no shame.”

Yu Chen: …

Yu Chen raised a hand and pinched his face, trying to measure how thick his skin was. It was only after he pinched it that squeezed it that he discovered Ling Qing’s skin was quite tender. It was really soft and delicate.

Like cream. Feels really good.

Ling Qing thought he would let go after a while, but he didn’t. He eventually had to remind him, “Darling, even if you pinch my face, it’s still my face. Not putty for you to play with.”

After he said this, Yu Chen let go and saw that Ling Qing’s fair face was a little red.

It looked a bit like he’d applied rouge. Like sunset after snowfall. Very attractive and eye catching.

Without realizing it, Yu Chen touched the red spot.

Ling Qing wrinkled his brows in confusion.

“Does it hurt?” Yu Chen saw him frowning and thought he had been hurt.

Ling Qing: I’ll pinch your face, see if it hurts, okay~~

Steward: Today, the Young Master and Madam are gone. I miss them a bit. I wonder if they’re having a good day?
