“Should I fly a helicopter to take you guys back?”

Luo Songran heard his cousin suddenly start a fire again and quickly pressed down on Duan Yizhou’s hand, afraid that this man would start crying again, saying that there was no helipad at home. He forced a smile and shook his head, “Let’s not trouble cousin to send us. We’ll go back on our own.”

Yan Nanchen raised an eyebrow and tilted his chin, looking at Duan Yizhou. “Don’t you want me to send you?”

Duan Yizhou softly said, “Hmm,” showing no emotion. “I suddenly want to take a bus back. RanRan, can we take a bus? Let’s go on a date.”

Yan Nanchen frowned. “Duan Yizhou, my cousin has never taken a bus before. If you have a car, why go take the bus?”

Luo Songran was speechless. Don’t look at him; even he was confused by today’s Duan Yizhou. Moreover, there were no bus stops in Langqing Bay. He tugged on Duan Yizhou’s sleeve. “There are no bus stops in Langqing Bay.”

“I want to go to the old city.” Duan Yizhou thought for a moment, as if he had remembered something. “Let’s go on a date.”

When Luo Songran heard that Duan Yizhou wanted to go to the old city, his eyes immediately lit up. “Great! Let’s go, and then we can go to Aunt Ling’s place for hot pot!” He grabbed his hand and said to his cousin, “Then you can go on your own. My husband and I are going on a date. Goodbye!”

After saying that, the two of them left the hospital hand in hand. Their backs looked extremely happy.

Behind them, Yan Nanchen’s expression was speechless. This guy who easily changes his mind about going on a date. Being sick is indeed amazing. You can take time off from work, go on a date with your husband, and even go out to play. But he really wanted to go and comfort his husband, but now he had to go back for a meeting. After all, the meeting had only been halfway done earlier.

At the bus stop outside the hospital… Two eye-catching people standing under the sun waiting for the bus indeed drew attention, but the two of them had no worries, just holding hands.

“Zhou Zhou, do you feel uncomfortable now?”

“Why not call me husband?”

“I feel that the cute you right now suits Zhou Zhou more.”

Duan Yizhou chuckled lightly, lowering his gaze, his eyes falling on the hand he was holding, the bruise on Luo Songran’s fair skin where his short sleeves revealed was glaring, and a subtle sense of self-blame appeared in his eyes. His hand touched the bruise, “Did I scare you just now?” 

“Yes, you scared me to tears.” Luo Songran nodded, then noticed Duan Yizhou had been staring at him. He explained again, raising his hand and pinching his fingers, “But I only cried for a moment.”

“If I encounter such a situation again in the future, don’t be afraid and don’t cry. Just find Jiang Yi. He has my medicine, which can temporarily relieve me.”

“Why can’t the medicine be kept with me?” Luo Songran heard Duan Yizhou say this and pouted, “Am I not worthy of your trust?”

Seeing the No. 218 bus approaching nearby, Duan Yizhou took his hand and walked forward. “No, I’m worried that you won’t know how to use it. Jiang Yi has more experience.”

“Have you frequently experienced such situations before?”

As the bus was crowded, Duan Yizhou asked Luo Songran to stand in front of him to shield him, then took out a red bill from his wallet and inserted it directly into the coin slot without paying attention to the driver’s slightly surprised look. After paying, he put his arm around Luo Songran’s shoulder and walked inside.

The two stood at the back door of the bus, with no seats available, so they had to stand. Even the few handrails overhead were sparse. Luo Songran had never ridden a bus before; this was his first attempt. If it weren’t for Duan Yizhou’s sudden desire to take the bus, he might not have had the chance to ride it.

“Hold onto me, don’t fall.” He heard Duan Yizhou’s low voice above him and obediently hugged his waist. Compared to holding onto the handrail, holding onto Duan Yizhou was more secure.

Perhaps because the bus was crowded, Luo Songran felt the gaze of others, and he happened to notice someone looking at them. He looked up at Duan Yizhou with embarrassment and whispered, “Someone’s staring at us.”

“What’s to fear? We’re legal.” Duan Yizhou rubbed the back of the little one in his arms, just noticing the red mark on the back of his neck from where he had bitten earlier, gently caressing it with his fingertips. “I think I bit a little hard just now.”

“It doesn’t hurt.” Luo Songran felt a bit itchy from being touched and turned his head slightly, “You still haven’t told me if you often experience sensitive periods like before.”

“Not really.”

“Was it because I angered you?”

Duan Yizhou’s strong arm was wrapped around the little one’s shoulder, protecting him from being shaken too much by the crowded bus. He then leaned down and whispered in his ear, “Because I’m already thirty-two, a mature man. Frequent sensitive periods are mainly due to prolonged abstinence.”

The man’s magnetic and hoarse voice sounded in his ear, tingling his eardrums. Why isn’t he being coquettish now?

Luo Songran felt his ears getting warm. He glanced shyly at Duan Yizhou and said, “You’re a mature man indeed. Weren’t you crying in front of me just now, saying you’re thirty-two and still don’t have a helicopter?”

Duan Yizhou didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He calmly whispered to the little one, biting his earlobe as if telling a secret, “A mature man without a helicopter still has needs because the baby is pregnant and can’t touch.”

Perhaps it was because they were in a public place that such words were actually normal in their daily lives and didn’t seem out of place, but now they inexplicably made Luo Songran feel ashamed. He nudged Duan Yizhou with his elbow and lowered his gaze, whispering softly, “Stop talking, let’s talk when we get off.”

It’s not quite appropriate to cuddle like this with so many people watching.

Duan Yizhou captured the blush on the little one’s ear, his eyes filled with infinite tenderness and affection, but he couldn’t help but say, “Baby, I love you so much.”

The crowded bus had all kinds of smells and quite a lot of chatter, children’s playful voices, and the sound of poorly insulated wheels rolling over the ground. It was noisy, but it gave him an unprecedented sense of security. Because in this noisy and unfamiliar environment, there was a person holding Luo Songran in his arms. Pheromones belonged to him, the sound of breathing belonged to him, and even the excited heartbeat transmitted through the back and chest was also his.

The sense of security he sought was to have Luo Songran in his arms, to have him in sight amid the vast world and various people. That was enough.

The whispered affectionate confession in his ear made Luo Songran feel a bit feverish. Originally, the bus was crowded, so it was a bit hot, let alone now that he was in Duan Yizhou’s embrace. Although Duan Yizhou seemed to stop being coquettish, his tone seemed a bit different from usual. He wasn’t a very shy person, but he inexplicably felt a bit embarrassed now. Still, he really wanted to say this to Duan Yizhou.

“I love you too.” As he said this, he hugged Duan Yizhou’s waist tighter, pressing his ear against his chest.

The strong and powerful heartbeat of the man pounded against his eardrums, as if touching his heartbeat. Perhaps it was the different environment. In such a small and crowded space, being held in Duan Yizhou’s arms made him suddenly aware of this man’s presence. Besides his family, wherever he went, there would always be this bond. Only this man would make him feel flustered.

It was because of experiencing loss that he understood regret. At the moment when Duan Yizhou closed his eyes, he felt so scared. He never wanted to see Duan Yizhou like that again.

“Duan Yizhou.”

“Yeah?”

“I don’t want to be pregnant again.” Luo Songran leaned close to Duan Yizhou’s ear and whispered softly, “I want to be able to come to you anytime you need me, so you won’t have to hold back.”

He was immediately silenced by Duan Yizhou’s large hand covering his mouth, followed by Duan Yizhou’s slightly hoarse voice saying, “I just took an omega suppressant. Don’t provoke me anymore. If the medicine wears off, I might end up wanting another child after you give birth.”

Luo Songran was speechless. He silently pursed his lips and stopped talking nonsense. So, Duan Yizhou knew about his omega suppressant.

“You rubbed your lips against my palm again, are you provoking me?” Duan Yizhou’s voice raised slightly, carrying a hint of danger.

Fortunately, they arrived at the stop in the old city streets. When the back door of the bus opened, Luo Songran quickly stepped off the bus and took a deep breath of fresh air. Thank goodness!!! This was better than dealing with his crying and whining Duan Yizhou. Teasing him like this easily triggered his own response. His dad-like top was so easy to coax when he turned gentle.

“Walk properly, no running.”

Just as he was about to speed up, he heard Duan Yizhou behind him saying so. Luo Songran pursed his lips and slowed down his pace, looking back, “With legs as long as yours, you walk faster than me.”

“I’m feeling weak now.” Duan Yizhou caught up to him in two or three steps, reaching out to hold his hand behind him, “You need to cooperate with me.”

“Huh, I see what you’re doing, Duan Yizhou, are you doing this on purpose?”

“What on purpose?”

“You’re mimicking me.”

“Mimicking what?”

“Mimicking my coquettishness.”

Duan Yizhou adjusted his glasses with his other hand, leading the little one towards his old house. He smiled mischievously, “How did I coquettish?”

“Just calling me ‘baby’ all the time, being picky about this and that, demanding so much.” Luo Songran even imitated how Duan Yizhou had been coquettish in the hospital just now, pointing to his own eyes, “And you cried.”

“Baby.”

“What?”

“You’re so cute.”

Luo Songran’s face blushed. He felt inexplicably embarrassed, staring at Duan Yizhou, then seriously pointed at him with narrowed eyes, warning, “Don’t say that!”

“Baby, you’re so beautiful.” Duan Yizhou persisted, holding the little one’s hand tightly and not letting go. Mainly because he was worried that this guy might explode in a moment. He thought he would definitely explode later. Then they turned into an ancient and quaint alley.

Before Luo Songran could explode, he stopped his steps and looked at this unfamiliar alley, “Why are we here? Aren’t we going to see Aunt Ling?”

“Aunt Ling’s place isn’t open yet at this hour. I want to take you to see my family’s old house, the place where I grew up since childhood.” Duan Yizhou hugged his shoulder and led him forward, “When I was a child, my parents were busy, they were often abroad, so I was raised by my grandparents. But my grandpa passed away when I was in college, and now the old house is empty.”

Before Luo Songran could ask any questions, they stopped in front of an old private courtyard at the end of the alley. The ancient gate exuded a traditional and elegant atmosphere, with stone lions standing on both sides of the gate. The plaque above the gate bore the bold and imposing characters ‘Duan Residence’.

Duan Yizhou stepped forward and opened the door with a key.

As the door slowly opened, the spacious courtyard came into view, with artistic stone stacks and flowing water, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort. This hidden quadrangle in the bustling city carried all of Duan Yizhou’s childhood memories.

Luo Songran was impressed by the beauty of this old house exuding a sense of time. Every detail revealed traditional art and the taste of the homeowner. He was stunned for a moment and exclaimed softly. Then he looked at Duan Yizhou and found him staring blankly at the courtyard, seemingly lost, as if searching for something, emanating a faint sorrow.

“Are you missing your grandpa?” He walked to Duan Yizhou’s side and held his hand.

“Yeah.” Duan Yizhou smiled, his eyes reddening involuntarily, “Back then, I was still studying abroad when my grandpa saw me for the last time. By the time I came back, he was gone.”

Luo Songran could hear the tremor in Duan Yizhou’s voice. The easily triggered Duan Yizhou during his sensitive period was really fragile and sensitive. He hugged the man, not knowing how to comfort him.

“Baby, so when I heard your grandpa telling me about your high fever and coma, I only thought of the worst outcome. Losing you would be a very terrible thing for me. I can’t lose you.”

“I know I was wrong, I won’t do it again in the future.” Luo Songran understood Duan Yizhou’s fear after hearing his words. Even he now felt that his behavior was despicable.

“But I’m still a little scared.”

“What do you want me to do to comfort you? Do you want to lie on my lap while I massage your temples?”

“Can I, baby?”

“Of course.”

“What about other massages?”

“Like what?”

“Like this.”

Luo Songran was speechless. This was a bit too much. He met Duan Yizhou’s pleading eyes.

“Please, baby.”

So that night, Luo Songran massaged Duan Yizhou all night long, and this man even went too far, not only tired out his hands but also bit him. He even bit him so hard that he broke the skin. And he wanted to sit on his face, which was too much. But due to the disparity in strength, he endured it and recorded all of Duan Yizhou’s misdeeds.

He decided to play the recording after this man’s medicine wore off, let Duan Yizhou hear for himself what he had done.
