Chapter 113: Extra 12: Babbling
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Editor: Karai
After opening the world of riding on their wedding night, the two seemed to completely lift the seal of the past year and a half, and there was no more restraint. They were deeply in love with each other, unable to resist each other every day, which was a common thing among people.
The younger one had thick skin, and the older one was in his prime at thirty. With such a large house, there was no one to disturb them wherever they went.
Their little piglets ate well and slept early, without them worrying about it at all.
This was a perfect match.
So, they went crazy for almost a month. Luo Songran’s re-enrollment procedures were almost completed, and because he hadn’t finished his courses in the first semester of his junior year before taking a leave of absence, he returned to continue his studies in his junior year.
In the spacious dressing room, the nine-month-old piglets could already sit. They sat together in their own seats, watching the glass elevator in the dressing room go up and down.
Because their daddy was sitting in the elevator, busy collecting luggage.
Perhaps finding it amusing, whenever the piglet saw the elevator rise to their floor, he would happily clap his hands and babble.
At this moment, Luo Songran, who was sitting in the elevator packing, heard his two sons laughing. He looked up with a bitter expression and saw the piglets becoming happier and happier, as if he were some kind of joke.
“What are you laughing at? What’s so funny about me packing clothes?”
The piglets laughed again, tipping over.
Luo Songran, “…” It was outrageous. It was as if they knew he was about to go back to school. He felt like crying. After a year and a half without touching a book, he had to go back now. His grades were definitely going to be worse than before.
“Babe, why are you sitting in the elevator packing clothes?”
Duan Yizhou had just finished his work in the study, walked into the dressing room, and found Luo Songran sitting in the elevator packing clothes. But after thinking about it, he figured this guy was just being lazy. With a two-story dressing room, many things were neatly organized, so packing in the elevator meant not having to drag the suitcase around.
He walked up to the elevator and pressed the pause button.
Because it was a customized dressing room elevator with only two floors, it could be paused at any floor.
“You finally finished your work and have time for me.” Luo Songran saw Duan Yizhou coming in and reached out for him to hold him. “I’m feeling really down now.”
Seeing this little guy about to act spoiled again, Duan Yizhou bent down, lifted him up as if he were lifting a child, shook him a bit, then carried him out of the elevator. “Why are you feeling down?”
He sat down on the sofa next to the piglet.
“Dad!”
“Dada!”
The piglets saw Daddy looking happy, turned his head, and babbled, looking as if he wanted Daddy to pick him up too.
Luo Songran watched as both of them reached out towards Duan Yizhou’s extended hand. He immediately embraced Duan Yizhou with both arms and stared at the two of them closely. “What’s the matter? You want Daddy to hold you, but not me. You only call for Daddy, not for me.”
Originally, he was already feeling a bit down about going back to school next week, but now he felt even worse.
“Oh!” The piglet seemed like he was about to climb down from the chair.
Luo Songran’s eyes suddenly darkened. If he fell, it would be alright, but he didn’t even think about it. He reached out to pick up the piglet, but instead of the piglet falling, he himself fell out of Duan Yizhou’s arms and onto the ground. He accidentally hit his head on the corner of the nearby low cabinet.
There was a loud bang, quite loud.
The pain made him tear up.
“RanRan!” Duan Yizhou was startled, quickly picked him up from the waist, and put him on his lap. Seeing Luo Songran holding his forehead with a look as if he was about to cry, he hurriedly cupped his face to check, “Where did you hit? Let me see.”
He saw a red mark on the left temple, showing signs of swelling.
He immediately called the downstairs auntie to bring up an ice pack.
“Da?” The piglet hugged his shark toy, innocently looking at his dad tilting his head.
Luo Songran held the area where he bumped his temple. It hurt a bit, but he could bear it. Seeing the piglet still daring to look at him like that, he reached out and pinched his cheek. “You, Daddy, don’t call for help, but you sure act like it. Look, I got hurt.”
The piglet, not understanding what was happening, reached out to hug him when he felt Daddy touch him. With round eyes filled with a smile, he babbled, “Da!”
Luo Songran was instantly melted by the cuteness. Alright, innocence was forgiven. He also gently patted the well-behaved piglet sitting beside him. “Little one, learn from your brother, be good, sit still and don’t fall down.”
Just then, they saw the auntie coming in with an ice pack. “Oh my, what happened now? Did the little one bump into something again?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Duan Yizhou pinched Luo Songran’s face and turned his head. He was met with Luo Songran’s gaze.
“After dealing with the little one, I need to talk to you.” Duan Yizhou’s expression was serious, his tone solemn. He furrowed his brows as he saw the swelling on Luo Songran’s forehead. Taking the ice pack from the auntie, he said, “I know you want to hold the little one, but you need to take care of yourself too. You can’t just bump your head like this. Aren’t you afraid after what happened last time?”
He then applied the ice pack to Luo Songran’s forehead.
The coldness startled Luo Songran, causing him to shiver and say, “So cold.”
Since giving birth, he had been particularly sensitive to cold. Just like how he used to love drinking cold beverages in the summer, now he couldn’t stand it.
“If you don’t apply the ice soon, it will swell up.” Duan Yizhou said in a deep voice.
The auntie, seeing the situation, said, “Then I’ll take the little one to drink milk first.” She pushed the nearby baby stroller over and put the piglet inside. Fortunately, both children weren’t crying or fussing, so they were pushed out of the dressing room like that.
The dressing room soon fell into silence.
Luo Songran sat in Duan Yizhou’s arms, looking up slightly. His gaze outlined Duan Yizhou’s handsome face. Seeing him applying the ice seriously, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch his face.
“Husband, you’re so handsome.”
Duan Yizhou listened to this guy trying to use flattery again, so he put the ice pack on his neck.
Luo Songran shivered from the cold. “So cold!” Irritated, he glanced at Duan Yizhou, but seeing his serious expression, he quietly suppressed his little temper and smiled innocently. “Not cold, not cold.”
“You’re making me worry about your condition at school. I wonder how you managed to take care of yourself in the dorm before?” Duan Yizhou thought that this guy was so easy to rely on others, yet always seemed indifferent to his own well-being. Before they knew each other, he had gotten injured while playing sports at the club and didn’t say anything about it.
Now, after staying at home for a year and a half, would he be able to adapt to going back to school under his care?
“It was just like that. There wasn’t much to do at school.” Seeing Duan Yizhou preparing to worry again, Luo Songran dared to guarantee that this man worried more about him than his own father did.
“How did you live in the dormitory before?” Duan Yizhou wondered if this little rascal was always so dependent, and if he could adapt when he went back.
“It was just like that. How you lived was how I lived.” Luo Songran replied sincerely.
Duan Yizhou’s expression darkened. “Did you always do things yourself at school? Did you never rely on others?”
This reminded Luo Songran of his roommates. “Um… I had my roommates. Sometimes they would wake me up, sometimes they would help me get food at noon, and occasionally they would help me hang clothes to dry. Um, that’s about it.”
But they also helped each other out. Sometimes when he went out to play, he would take his roommates with him, or he would bring back good food to share with them.
Duan Yizhou’s expression became serious. “Will you still be staying in the dorm this time?”
Under normal circumstances, betas would share rooms with omegas or alphas, but could Luo Songran still be considered normal? They were already each other’s lovers and the fathers of two children. He wouldn’t allow it.
Seeing Duan Yizhou’s serious and nervous expression, Luo Songran suppressed a smile and cleared his throat, pretending he hadn’t decided yet. “I don’t know yet. After all, the courses in the third year are quite intense. Maybe it’s more convenient to stay in the dormitory?”
Hehe, he loved seeing Duan Yizhou jealous.
“Staying at home wouldn’t be inconvenient. I can drop you off and pick you up every day, so it won’t be a problem.” Duan Yizhou thought he was really going to choose to stay in the dormitory. “Your school only has double rooms at most, there are no single rooms.”
“I used to stay in a four-person room before.” Luo Songran said honestly.
Duan Yizhou could sense the implication in his words, and his expression darkened. “Do you think you can still share a room with them now?”
“Why not?” Luo Songran blinked innocently.
Before he could react, he felt Duan Yizhou’s cold hand, which had been holding the ice pack, slip into his clothes and pinch his waist, sending shivers down his spine.
He was provoked into trembling again, bending over. “…So cold, what are you doing?”
“Daddy, I said no.” Duan Yizhou felt Luo Songran’s resistance. With both hands, he firmly held his waist, pulling him close with an irresistible force, his voice low.
Yes, it wasn’t that Luo Songran couldn’t be without him. How could Luo Songran not be able to be without him? This little rascal had been independent for three years abroad during high school. How could he not take care of himself?
It was him who couldn’t bear to be without Luo Songran.
Just the thought of not seeing Luo Songran for a long time in a day made him feel down.
“If I say I can’t, then I can’t.” Luo Songran felt the coldness in Duan Yizhou’s palms and fingertips gradually dissipate, making him less sensitive. As he looked at Duan Yizhou, he noticed the deep and complex gaze in the man’s eyes. “What’s wrong?”
Why was he looking at him like that?
“Baby, I don’t want you to stay in the dormitory.” Duan Yizhou sighed deeply.
“Why?” Luo Songran thought Duan Yizhou was worried about him, even though he hadn’t mentioned staying in the dormitory. “Don’t worry, I’m not completely clueless. It’s just that you’ve been doing everything for me. If I go back to school, naturally, I’ll handle everything.”
After all, he had been independent for three years abroad, except for cooking, he could do everything else with his hands. He wasn’t completely clueless about life.
“I’m not worried about that.” Duan Yizhou said.
“Then what are you worried about?” Seeing his unusual mood, Luo Songran cupped his face and asked softly, “What is it? Is it not because you’re worried that I can’t handle things?”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Duan Yizhou take off his glasses and then felt his hand on the back of his neck as he was kissed.
This kiss was intense and irresistible, deliberately preventing him from resisting. It was as if Duan Yizhou wanted to swallow his breath and everything about him, even wanting to swallow him whole.
This was a rare display of dominance from this man.
So what was going on?
Luo Songran felt like he couldn’t breathe after who knew how long they had kissed. He turned his head away and raised his hand to stop Duan Yizhou’s lips. “…Wait, I can’t breathe.”
Duan Yizhou held Luo Songran’s soft waist, stroked his slightly flushed eye corners, and when he heard him say “wait,” his heart seemed to be touched by something soft. This made his usually invisible possessiveness swell even more.
Yes, it was possessiveness.
He had a difficult-to-describe possessiveness towards Luo Songran now. He was willing to let go, but unwilling at the same time.
“Baby, do you know what I’m worried about?”
Listening to Duan Yizhou’s slightly hoarse voice, Luo Songran suddenly felt numb on his tongue. He wanted to sit on the sofa and leave Duan Yizhou’s legs, but he was hugged around the waist and brought back. “What are you worried about?”
“I won’t be used to it.” Duan Yizhou didn’t let go of his embrace, holding him tightly with both arms, facing each other like this. “It’s not that you won’t be used to being without me, it’s that I won’t be used to being without you. Do you understand?”
The man’s low and gentle voice carried complex and uneasy emotions.
Luo Songran immediately understood. Ah, it wasn’t that Duan Yizhou was worried that he couldn’t take care of himself, but that Duan Yizhou would feel uncomfortable without him by his side. He smiled. “So that’s it.”
“Yeah.”
“If I’m not staying in the dormitory, what are you afraid of?” Duan Yizhou’s eyes sparkled slightly. He met Luo Songran’s smiling eyes, and the previously gloomy thoughts brightened a bit. “You’re not staying in the dormitory?”
“I didn’t say I was staying in the dormitory. You’re just thinking too much.” Luo Songran smiled, holding Duan Yizhou’s face and kissing his eyes. “I know Little Boat doesn’t want to part with me, and I don’t want to part with you either.”
This sentence instantly calmed Duan Yizhou’s conflicted and uneasy feelings.
It also made Duan Yizhou feel a little embarrassed.
Duan Yizhou turned his face away and coughed lightly, picking up his glasses that he had thrown aside and putting them on. “That’s good, not staying in the dormitory.”
“Duan Yizhou.”
“Yeah?”
Luo Songran lowered his head and leaned against his forehead, his eyes gazing at him. “You, don’t always just think about me. Occasionally, think about yourself, okay? I hope that when you know what I’m thinking, you can also tell me what you want. If you’re jealous, just be jealous. If you don’t want me to stay in the dormitory, just say it and tell me.”
Duan Yizhou was stunned.
“Because I already feel your deep love for me, so I also want to love you like you love me. Don’t hold back, don’t suffer in silence. Say what you want like I do. Can you do that?”
Duan Yizhou thought it seemed like he had been persuaded by this little rascal again.
In this relationship, he always placed himself in the position of being older and therefore having to take care of the younger one. He always thought he had to handle everything by himself, and over time, he had gotten used to it.
Yes, just now he didn’t want Luo Songran to stay in the dormitory, but he didn’t say it. He always felt like saying it was a bit childish.
And it seemed like Luo Songran was right. He could be mature and responsible in handling certain matters, but in some matters, it was okay to allow himself to be childish.
“Okay, baby.”
Luo Songran couldn’t help but chuckle at Duan Yizhou’s seriousness. This man was even funny when he was jealous. He leaned down and planted a couple of kisses. “You just don’t like me living with other people, right?”
“Mm.”
“Then I won’t stay in the dormitory.”
“When you meet new classmates at school, don’t rely on them too much, don’t trust them too much, okay?” Duan Yizhou thought of the incident with He Yu. Even though he was fired and sentenced to five years in prison, it had almost caused harm to his beloved.
And it had also inadvertently hurt his capable assistant, Jiang Yi.
“I know, I know.” Luo Songran thought this was indeed important. He had never been good at discerning between good and bad since he was young. Like the incident with He Yu before, fortunately, his second brother handled it.
“You can only rely on me.” Duan Yizhou pinched Luo Songran’s waist, exerting a little force to warn him. He said sternly, “Do you hear me?”
“I know, I know, okay~” Luo Songran responded to the man who loved him dearly.
Duan Yizhou was finally satisfied.
So he helped the little rascal pack his luggage. Packing mainly consisted of necessities for resting at school at noon. Some essential items were still needed.
Just when Duan Yizhou thought they had resolved the matter of not staying in the dormitory for the resumption of classes, he never expected that there would be something even more infuriating for him to deal with.
On a sunny afternoon, his little rascal handed him an application form to look at.
Duan Yizhou looked down at the form in his hand. When the words came into view, his eyes under the golden-rimmed glasses turned cold, his expression blank, and he tightened his grip on the form.
