Stuttering, he said, “H-husband, how are you here?”
He actually dared to push Lu Yanbai. He must have a death wish.
He hoped he could grow two extra heads, so he could live a little longer when it was time for his execution.
Lu Yanbai’s eyes went from bewildered to sober. He had faint dark circles under his eyes, which held a sharp intensity. “What, did you think I was Lin Yao?”
Xu Wanxing quickly waved his hands. “No, no, I just didn’t expect you, husband, to be here too. You must be so tired from work.”
Seeing Xu Wanxing’s IV-connected hand shaking around, Lu Yanbai frowned and pressed the hand down. “Don’t move around. You’re on a drip.”
Only after stopping did Xu Wanxing realize the back of that hand was stinging painfully.
Xu Wanxing pitifully gripped Lu Yanbai’s sleeve. “Husband, the back of my hand hurts.”
Lu Yanbai sighed. “So, can you be a good boy?” As he spoke, he cupped Xu Wanxing’s hand, brought it to his lips, and gently blew on it a few times.
“Does it still hurt?”
Lost in Lu Yanbai’s handsome and noble face, Xu Wanxing nodded hazily. “It still hurts a little. Blow on it more, husband.”
Lu Yanbai naturally doted on him.
After blowing on it, Xu Wanxing asked, “Where is Lin Yao?”
“…In the room next door to yours,” Lu Yanbai glanced to the side, sounding a bit guilty.
Xu Wanxing: “Huh? What happened to him?”
“Nothing, he wasn’t looking where he was going and fell down.”
The actual truth was:
When Xu Wanxing was sent to the hospital, he was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. The doctor needed to notify a family member to sign for a minor procedure, so he called Lu Yanbai and asked him to come to the hospital.
Lu Yanbai arrived and saw Lin Yao standing shirtless outside Xu Wanxing’s room. His eyes instantly turned red. He walked right up and punched him twice, giving him two black eyes that looked like a panda’s.
It was the perfect time for Xu Wanxing to send him those panda-ear headphones.
Lin Yao was completely dazed. When he recovered and tried to fight back, his fist was nearly at Lu Yanbai’s face, but he remembered that Lu Yanbai was an Omega.
How undignified would an Alpha look hitting an Omega? Everyone would ridicule him if the news got out.
In that one second of Lin Yao’s hesitation, Lu Yanbai swept his leg, and Lin Yao crashed heavily onto the floor, his occiput meeting the ground with a loud thud.
He had a concussion.
Later, upon learning the truth of the matter, Lu Yanbai apologized to Lin Yao and promised him some benefits.
Lin Yao reluctantly agreed. It was embarrassing enough that he, an Alpha, couldn’t beat an Omega.
Naturally, he was willing to let the matter drop.
Xu Wanxing ate the congee that Lu Yanbai had carefully cooked for him. He felt the aroma linger on his lips and teeth; it was rich and smooth—truly delicious.
Anyone who married an Omega like Lu Yanbai, who was both presentable in public and skilled in the kitchen, would be blessed for three lifetimes and eight generations.
This specifically referred to a certain protagonist Alpha.
The more Xu Wanxing looked at Lu Yanbai, the more he liked him. He always felt that Shen Yuxuan was not good enough for Lu Yanbai.
It was a pity that he was just a gold-digging cannon fodder who liked living off others. He felt unworthy himself.
Xu Wanxing sighed after every bite, then sighed again after the next, which vexed Lu Yanbai.
Stopping the feeding motion, Lu Yanbai asked, “Baby, is it not tasty?”
Xu Wanxing shook his head, looking pained. “It’s me who’s not worthy, not you. I’m just not worthy.”
Seeing him like this, Lu Yanbai understood. Had Shen Yuxuan put pressure on Xu Wanxing again?
That arch-nemesis of his was truly never well-intentioned.
Although Xu Wanxing was the person sent by them, Lu Yanbai had completely and entirely given his heart to Xu Wanxing. If Shen Yuxuan dared to keep treating him like this, then Lu Yanbai would not hold back.
Even if Shen Yuxuan was the matchmaker who brought them together.
Lu Yanbai gently comforted Xu Wanxing. “Baby, you are worthy. You are perfectly worthy. Come on, open your mouth, let’s keep eating.”
Xu Wanxing chewed the soft congee in his mouth and found Lu Yanbai’s words very strange, but he didn’t dwell on it.
After eating, Xu Wanxing urged Lu Yanbai to go to work. Lu Yanbai said, “I want to continue accompanying you, baby. You’re sick.”
Xu Wanxing firmly refused. “Husband, you need to work hard to earn money and support the family.”
Hearing this, Lu Yanbai was moved and said in disbelief, “Earn money and support the family? Is it our home, baby, yours and mine?”
Xu Wanxing nodded, and only when Lu Yanbai left did he finally sigh in relief. Having dealt with him, he could now rest peacefully.
A few minutes later, Lu Yanbai came back carrying a laptop.
He sat by Xu Wanxing’s hospital bed and started working.
Xu Wanxing: Nani?!!
Seeing Xu Wanxing staring at him, Lu Yanbai smiled lightly. “Baby, I’ll be here to keep you company, don’t worry. Work isn’t as important as you are. Since you want me to work, I can work while staying with you.”
Xu Wanxing: …Incredible.
Now this was great. Lu Yanbai was going to help him even when he needed to use the restroom. He knew Lu Yanbai had ulterior motives.
After being “helped” to the restroom by Lu Yanbai, Xu Wanxing felt utterly defeated. He went back to the hospital bed and buried his head in the covers.
Lu Yanbai dug him out from under the covers. “Baby, don’t play like this; you’ll suffocate. Are you that shy? But we’re planning to get married, so baby needs to get used to it.”
…Get used to what?
He was a straight man! He was not used to it at all!
Where were his sweet and soft girls?
Even if Lu Yanbai was an Omega, he didn’t want a wife taller, stronger, and bigger than he was!
How could he ever qualify to be the husband!
Lu Yanbai stepped out temporarily. Xu Wanxing was watching TV with his hands resting on his abdomen, looking exceptionally well-behaved. Lin Yao, who had just pushed the door open, saw him.
Suddenly seeing a huge panda in the doorway, Xu Wanxing was startled.
Upon closer inspection, it was Lin Yao.
Xu Wanxing held back a laugh. “Brother Lin, why have you become like this? You look so unique. I heard you accidentally fell while walking; were you that careless?”
Lin Yao twitched the corners of his mouth. His two fox-like eyes were now blue and purple, completely lacking any of their past charm.
“What did Lu Yanbai tell you? If he says I fell, then I fell.” It sounded better than saying he couldn’t beat an Omega.
Lin Yao looked Xu Wanxing up and down. “How’s your body? I was so worried then; I almost thought you were going to kick the bucket.”
Xu Wanxing smiled. “Thanks to you for calling 120. Luckily I had you, or I would have died of pain right there.”
These were extremely ordinary words, yet Lin Yao somehow heard them as if they were bubbling with affection for him.
The handsome, flirtatious Lin Yao looked a bit shy, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards the floor. “Actually, I’m not that great. I still have a lot of flaws.”
“Exactly. Baby, you should stay away from him in the future. He has many flaws.”
Lu Yanbai pushed the door open and entered. He gave the awkward-looking Lin Yao a polite smile as he passed him, then sat down on the chair by Xu Wanxing’s bed.
Lin Yao ground his teeth, watching Lu Yanbai, his eyes filled with dark meaning. Lu Yanbai looked pure, cold, and noble, but he was actually full of wicked schemes. His cunning surpassed even that of Lin Yao, the fox.
Most people, however, were deceived by his outward appearance. Lin Yao, whose pretense had been torn apart by Lu Yanbai, naturally could not be like those others.
Lin Yao casually brought up a point: “Xu Wanxing, you still need to be careful of the people around you. Some people look very nice on the surface, but they do plenty of bad things behind your back.”
He added with gritted teeth, “Especially things like beating people up.”
