Shocking! The Protagonist of the Mpreg Story Is a Straight Man - Chapter 17

419 hesitated, starting to speak and then stopping, over and over again.

Xue Xingqi felt a sense of being overwhelmed by favor. Pei Nan rarely showed such direct intimacy toward him. Even yesterday, when they were chatting most harmoniously during dinner, Pei Nan could turn cold in an instant. He truly didn’t know what the other was thinking at this moment; surely Pei Nan didn’t think he had a great character just because he brought him home?

If so, he had to say: Little straight guy, you’re too naive.

But regardless of what he thought internally, the fact that Pei Nan was actively reaching out to him was something worth being happy about. Therefore, Xue Xingqi gave an equally warm response, “Morning!”

“Get up and eat. Your loungewear is on the left bedside table. The clothes you were wearing before were dirty, so I took the liberty of throwing them away,” Xue Xingqi continued only after seeing that Pei Nan didn’t show any strange expression. “In a little while, go to my walk-in closet and pick out something you like. Anything with the tags still on is something I haven’t worn.”

Pei Nan indeed didn’t care much about his clothes; even if Xue Xingqi hadn’t thrown them away, he would have done so himself.

However, something more important than clothes occupied his mind: “What about that scum Yang Fan?”

Xue Xingqi didn’t hide anything. “I took you out yesterday and left him behind. Later, I heard from your teammates that someone went to the restroom, saw the state he was in, and thought he was using drugs, so they reported him. He’s been taken in for investigation now.”

“However, his family has some influence. Simply being taken in for investigation won’t cause him much actual loss,” Xue Xingqi added.

“So there’s no way to deal with him? This counts as attempted rape, doesn’t it? If it comes down to it, I’ll go to the police myself and testify.”

Before Pei Nan’s voice had even faded, 419 jumped out wailing, “It’s no use, Host! You used the system’s potion, and the drugs in your body have already been metabolized.”

The new type of drug Yang Fan had produced was particularly harmful to the human nervous system. The way he treated Pei Nan showed he didn’t respect him at all, seeking only his own momentary pleasure without regard for what Pei Nan might lose because of it.

Xue Xingqi also advised, “At most, your case counts as an attempt. But he has a long history of priors. I’ve already sent people to contact previous victims. As long as they are willing to testify in court, Yang Fan won’t be able to escape.”

The turbid breath stuck in Pei Nan’s chest finally escaped.

If a family background could allow someone to treat the law as if it were nothing, then this world truly wouldn’t be the one he grew up in. Fortunately, there were people like Xue Xingqi those with background who didn’t mess around. Pei Nan increasingly felt that Xue Xingqi had a good character and was a rare friend.

Facing Xue Xingqi’s worried gaze, he gave a bright smile. “I’m fine. I’ll just treat it as being bitten by a dog. Besides, I didn’t actually lose out on anything.”

Being hugged or held by a guy didn’t really bother him; at most, knowing Yang Fan’s intentions was just disgusting.

He was sitting up while talking to Xue Xingqi, his upper body exposed the whole time. Seeing that Xue Xingqi’s gaze was clear and upright neither avoidant nor lewd, and perhaps even a bit curious upon closer inspection Pei Nan’s desire to show off started to stir.

He proactively displayed the results of his fitness training. “How’s it? My physique is pretty good, right? This isn’t just from swimming; it’s the result of me sweating it out in the gym. Do you want to train? I can teach you.”

Xue Xingqi didn’t know how Pei Nan concluded that he also wanted to work out, but since Pei Nan was displaying himself so openly, he looked openly as well. At the same time, he inexplicably hallucinated a tail wagging happily behind the other man. So, he replied with a smile, “Okay, then next time we’ll work out together.”

As they spoke, the aroma of food had been wafting in from outside.

Pei Nan twitched his nose. “It smells so good. Did you make ‘Big Harvest’? I smell the scent of corn.”

Big Harvest? Xue Xingqi thought the name was quite appropriate. He had indeed prepared some food and just stewed it all together. Fortunately, the result was good, and it smelled so appetizing that even he was hungry.

“Hurry up and wash up. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Pei Nan got up briskly and took a shower in Xue Xingqi’s luxurious bathroom; he felt incredibly refreshed.

As he was about to leave, he glanced at himself in the mirror and was startled by a large bruise on his face.

“419, what happened to me?”

419 was available on call. “Did you forget? You were punched by Yang Fan yesterday. But don’t be angry Xue Xingqi punched him back for you. Both of his eye sockets are bruised.”

Pei Nan touched it. “It doesn’t hurt.”

It wasn’t like he had never been in a fight; there was no way a bruise of this magnitude shouldn’t hurt.

“It’s the potion. Bruises fade too quickly and raise suspicion, so it’s just for show. As long as you know it doesn’t hurt, you’re fine.”

Pei Nan nodded to show he understood. Upon entering the living room, he saw various sprays and ointments laid out on the coffee table. He couldn’t help but marvel at how good-hearted and meticulous Xue Xingqi was; it was obvious these were prepared for him.

Xue Xingqi was serving the food in the kitchen. Hearing his arrival, he said without turning his head, “I forgot to tell you, there’s medicine on the table. Spray it on after you eat; it’ll heal faster.”

Pei Nan gave an affirmative grunt. He watched Xue Xingqi’s tall figure busy in the kitchen, and a warm current silently flowed through his heart.

It had been a long time since he felt such meticulous care and concern from anyone other than his mother. To the point where, at this very moment, Pei Nan actually had an impulse: If Xue Xingqi were a girl, I would definitely marry him.

This thought shattered instantly when Xue Xingqi turned around carrying a heaping plate of food.

A purely masculine physique, a handsome and elegant face, and a height even slightly taller than his own—all of these sent a glaring signal: He couldn’t marry him.

419 hadn’t expected Pei Nan to have such a “dangerous” thought. How was this any different from delivering himself to the door!

Its host was quietly falling for him without even realizing it!

419 happily wanted to scatter flowers over their heads, but worried it would be redundant and make Pei Nan fly into a rage out of shame. On second thought, it decided to save the flowers for their wedding!

However, regarding the mission, Pei Nan shouldn’t be so resistant anymore.

Sure enough, after 419 mentioned it, Pei Nan expressed that he would try his best to find “intimacy” opportunities to increase their “closeness points.”

Pei Nan was mentally prepared, but Xue Xingqi was nowhere to be found.

The two went to school together on Monday. Xue Xingqi even specifically dropped Pei Nan off at the teaching building. They made plans for lunch, and in the afternoon, they could go to the sports arena together one to train and the other to handle business.

To his surprise, Xue Xingqi was incredibly busy that week. The two only saw each other once in three days, and that was when the coach was holding a general meeting and Xue Xingqi came over to deliver documents.

For some reason, the moment he saw Xue Xingqi, Pei Nan felt a surge of happiness and couldn’t help but smile. His row of white teeth stung Old Wang’s eyes.

“Pei Nan, what are you smiling at? Is your performance stable, are you able to take the championship, or can you break a record?!”

“Everyone, get serious!”
