Yang Yan went to the company to deal with some matters. At dinner time, Yang Yan received a call from his father again. His father asked him, "…Where are you right now? Why didn't you accompany Zhong Min after picking her up? After all, she just returned to China."

Yang Yan pursed his lips. He waited for the other side to finish speaking before he said: "The company had some matters so I came to deal with it."

Knowing that Yang Yan didn't deliberately leave her and run to other places to hang out with those friends of his, Father Yang's tone softened a lot in an instant.

"Then are you finished with it now?" Father Yang asked casually.

"When you're done, go over immediately." Yang Yan knew that the two families had dinner together in the evening. His memory wasn't so bad to the point that he'll forget in an instant.

"You should hurry up, don't let everyone wait for you." Father Yang always had a good impression of Zhong Min. Recently, when Father Yang had contact with Zhong Min's father, the other party's words revealed a bit of meaning. That was, Zhong Min liked Yang Yan.

Regarding the matter of Yang Yan playing with men and women outside, Father Yang knew but had never bothered with it. He knew that Yang Yan had a sense of propriety. Those who could enter their Yang family could not be those random men and women from outside.

Father Yang was quite satisfied with Zhong Min and even thought that a person like Zhong Min would be the most suitable to be their daughter-in-law.

To a certain extent, some of Yang Yan's 'strong' character was inherited from his father. His father was the kind who married Yang Yan's mother, who was from a well-matched family, then raised little three little four outside.

Yang Yan's mother was not a weak person. She knew the existence of the mistresses. For ones who want money, she would not bother with them. For those who want to occupy her position, such as becoming pregnant and wanting to occupy the magpie's nest, Yang Yan's mother would never be good to those people. She would send those people to the hospital for surgery.

Some of Yang Yan's notions of doing things and his views on feelings were largely influenced by his family.

But under this influence, Xu Ze suddenly appeared. Xu Ze was a man yet he became pregnant with his child. In fact, Yang Yan himself sometimes didn't know why his heart was moved by Xu Ze.

Even if Xu Ze was no longer in love with Yang Yan like before. Even if his gaze on Yang Yan was even more indifferent than what Yang Yan had shown in the past.

There was a saying, how did it go? Love would grow at a time unknown, from then the love would grow to be deep.

If he was to spend his whole life with someone, Yang Yan suddenly felt that it could be no one else besides Xu Ze. He would not be with another person again.

Driving his car, Yang Yan rushed to a restaurant. His father arrived earlier, but rather than having dinner with his father and the Zhong family, at the bottom of Yang Yan's heart was a thought. He wanted to have dinner together with another person- Xu Ze, and the baby in Xu Ze's womb.

Thinking of the baby, Yang Yan's original cold gaze instantly warmed a lot. At the same time, Yang Yan thought that the baby was more than four months old now. There were only a few more months until the baby would be born. He should buy everything the baby would need in advance.

First of all, there must be a baby room, and the nanny must also have a good reputation and be able to take care of people well.

Thinking about it this way, Yang Yan felt that there were a lot of things to prepare for the baby. When he had the time, he had to make a specific list and then find someone to buy the things.

The car stopped in front of a grandeur restaurant. Yang Yan opened the car door and got out. Going upstairs, he pushed open the door of a VIP box. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the table was almost full of people.

Yang Yan walked to the right where there was still a vacant seat. After sitting down, the person on the left greeted him. Yang Yan seemed to only now notice that the person on his left was Zhong Min.

Yang Yan didn't have much expression, nodding his head indifferently.

Yang Yan didn't have much appetite for this meal. It wasn't because the restaurant's food was not delicious. On the contrary, this restaurant was considered one of the best in the city. Yang Yan didn't move his chopsticks too much after eating a few bites. Yang Yan never wanted to participate in this kind of dinner meeting. Looking at the dishes on the table, he was thinking about what Xu Ze was eating at home right now. He didn't know how Xu Ze's appetite would be after experiencing the situation in the afternoon. Some time ago, Xu Ze seemed to have gained a bit of flesh. Yet in the past two nights, while Yang Yan hugged Xu Ze, he only felt that Xu Ze seemed to have lost weight again.

When Xu Ze has lost weight, Yang Yan looked even more concerned and worried than Xu Ze himself.

Zhong Min talked to Yang Yan from time to time though Yang Yan showed a lack of interest. Zhong Min didn't feel unhappy because of this since she knew that there was someone in Yang Yan's home.

After dinner, the elders left first. Zhong Min's father walked up to Yang Yan with a smile. He asked Yang Yan to be the elder brother and help them accompany Zhong Min well. He also said that while Zhong Min was abroad, she would talk to them from time to time and say that she wanted to return to the country.

As for what she wanted to do returning to the country, Father Zhong didn't say. He stared at Yang Yan with piercing eyes and Yang Yan's heart knew the underlying meaning immediately.

The older generation seemed to, more or less, had a desire for control, wanting their children to follow their own arrangements.

Yang Yan wasn't to the point where he couldn't see that both his father and Zhong Min's father seemed to want to match them.

Yang Yan smiled slightly and listened to him; "Okay." Then walking out of the restaurant, Yang Yan brought Zhong Min to separate from everyone else. The two of them walked by themselves.

Zhong Min carefully noticed that Yang Yan didn't like this kind of arrangement. Just imagining if it was her if she had another person she liked in her heart yet her parents had her get in touch with other people, her mood would definitely not be much better.

There was no perplexion on Zhong Min's face. She knew how to deal with such a situation.

"Brother Yan, do you have someone you already like?" Zhong Min knew it in her heart perfectly, but she acted as if she didn't know anything.

Yang Yan's deep gaze stared straight in front of the car window, not turning to look at Zhong Min.

"I have one." Yang Yan's voice was also cold like his eyes.

"How long have you two been dating? Uncle Yang and the others must not know about this right?" If they knew, this meal today might not have happened at all.

"Just directly say what you want to!"

Just at this moment, the red light in front of him came on and the car stopped. Yang Yan turned his head and told Zhong Min not to take corners with him.

Zhong Min was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Yang Yan wouldn't tell her even a bit of polite words. But this was good too, saving everyone time.

"I told my dad that I like you and want to be with you, that's why there was this dinner today. But I can see that Brother Yan has someone in your heart. But I don't care about that, and I can even help."

"If I'm not mistaken Brother Yan, most of Uncle Yang and others won't acknowledge the person you like." If they did, Yang Yan wouldn't be to the point where he'll hide this matter.

Yang Yan's pupils suddenly shrank and he asked indifferently, "How do you want to help?" It was indeed similar to what Zhong Min said. His family would not accept Xu Ze, but in Yang Yan's opinion, he didn't feel like this problem would be any hindrance.

It was always the same. Whoever he wanted to be with was always his own business. No one could ever control his life.

Him asking Zhong Min how she'll help was also just on a whim. Yang Yan would not let Zhong Min interfere with his life.

"We can pretend to be in a relationship, or even pretend to be married. I don't really have any interest in other men. Having me give birth to children for them, I don't think they deserve it. But Brother Yan, you're different. I think your child will definitely be as excellent and smart as you." Zhong Min put Yang Yan on a high pedestal.

She felt that this suggestion of hers, everyone's heart should definitely be moved.

But unfortunately, her expectations were wrong on a lot of things.

"You take your kindness back. As for you saying to give birth to a child for me, there's already someone who has conceived my child. The person who can give birth to a child for me, other than him, will not be any other people." Yang Yan's words successfully made the calm on Zhong Min's face collapse.

"She's pregnant? Are you going to marry her?" Zhong Min was extremely shocked. She never thought that her so-called love rival would actually be pregnant with Yang Yan's child.

She didn't believe it, and even for a moment felt that this was Yang Yan finding a temporary reason for rejecting her.

But when Zhong Min connected with Yang Yan's deep gaze, she had a feeling that Yang Yan didn't lie to her.

"Can I see her? At least let me know who I was defeated by." Zhong Min asked. She wouldn't let go of Yang Yan immediately just because someone was pregnant with Yang Yan's child. Not to mention that the child was not born yet, Everything still had a lot of variables.

"He's nursing the fetus right now, it's inconvenient." The first sentence was true, and the second was a lie. It was clear that Zhong Min had some thoughts about him. However, Yang Yan was not worried that Zhong Min would do something unfavorable to Xu Ze after seeing him.

On the contrary, what he worried about was that if Zhong Min really met Xu Ze, he was afraid that this woman, who was originally interested in him, would immediately change and become his love rival.

Yang Yan couldn't be more clear about Xu Ze's face and personal charm. It could make him fall in love and was also able to make his friend Xie Chengzhou take Xu Ze to heart in a very short period of time. Yang Yan had reasons to believe that people like Zhong Min, who were face-cons, were most likely unable to resist Xu Ze's attraction.

So Yang Yan couldn't let Zhong Min go and see Xu Ze.

"If it's inconvenient, could it be that she's about to give birth? Is the baby a boy or a girl?" There was a moment of loss in Zhong Min's expression. After that, her eyes flashed slightly with interest. She was originally curious about Yang Yan's little lover that he was hiding at home. But now that she knew that the little lover was actually bearing Yang Yan's child, it could be seen that this person was completely different from those around Yang Yan before.

She doesn't know what kind of person they were, but their appearance must be super high. It was needless to say that his personality was probably also very attractive.

"I don't know the gender for the time being, but I'll like them no matter if they're a boy or a girl." While talking on the topic of the child, Yang Yan's eyes were filled with tenderness and warmth.

Staring at these changes in Yang Yan's expression, Zhong Min's eyes flashed with more interest.

"I won't be accompanying you tonight. You can take this card and swipe it as you wish." Yang Yan handed over a bank card to Zhong Min. It was impossible for him to accompany Zhong Min to play outside for the night. There was still the person he liked at home, and his unborn baby.

It seemed that Yang Yan had only been away from home for a few hours, yet Yang Yan already missed the person at home a little.

Family! The word "family" had always been dark and dim in Yang Yan's life.

He was born with everything, but his childhood didn't have much of his parent's company. His family had hired a nanny to take care of him. Sometimes he would not see his family busying outside for ten days to half a month.

Yang Yan could see clearly. He knew that he had so much, so not having some things was very normal.

He never would have thought before that one day, his heart and love would be moved because of someone.

And that with another person, they would have their lovely baby.

This was fate's gift to him. Yang Yan for the first time thanked fate for giving him preferential treatment like this.

Zhong Min was also not courteous to Yang Yan. Although she was not short of money, spending other people's money felt different from spending her own. Yang Yan left her on the side of the road because he wanted to go back to accompany his baby. It was completely understandable for her to spend a bit of Yang Yan's money.

Holding the card between her light-white fingers, Zhong Min's apricot eyes were filled with a bright smile: "So generous, aren't you afraid that I'll blow up the card for you?"

"You're able to blow it all up?" Yang Yan also hooked his lips and smiled. The smile was fleeting, becoming a handsome face that couldn't be more solemn in the blink of an eye.

Zhong Min shook her head and laughed: "Just joking, I wouldn't do that even if you let me max it out."

"Stop at the intersection right in front, I know your returning heart is like an arrow!"

Zhong Min jokingly said.

Yang Yan squinted at Zhong Min. It seemed that Zhong Min was very aware of current affairs. He liked to deal with smart people anytime.

"If you really like my type, there isn't none around me. If you have time, I'll introduce them to you?" Yang Yan stopped the car at the intersection and said something before Zhong Min pushed the door and got off.

Zhong Min politely rejected Yang Yan's kindness: "No, there's no meaning in introducing any. I personally like love at first sight, it's romantic and beautiful!"

Yang Yan's gaze didn't fluctuate much as he watched Zhong Min get out of the car.

However, when Zhong Min got out of the car, she just took a step then suddenly turned back.

Zhong Min was lying on the open car window, and she probed in: "Seriously, you really don't intend me to see that darling at your home? I really really want to meet her, I'm afraid she's an angel, right?"

Yang Yan didn't speak. The corner of his mouth seemed to have a faint smile. He stretched out his hand and pressed then the car window that had originally been opened quickly closed.

Zhong Min withdrew in time before her head was caught.

Seeing the indifferent man and the car driving speeding away, Zhong Min shook her head and laughed. At the same time, she was thinking that the more Yang Yan held his lover tightly, the more she wanted to get to know her.

So she's pregnant ay? Zhong Min bent the corner of her mouth, Yang Yan's child!

Yang Yan drove home. In the living room, Xu Ze was currently watching an English movie on the sofa. During the afternoon, Xu Ze slept for a few hours. He basically had enough sleep, which caused his current spirit to feel better.

Aunt Dong took a blanket and put it on Xu Ze's lap. Xu Ze watched a movie while peeling pine nuts to eat. When Yang Yan returned and was at the door, Xu Ze noticed and turned his eyes to look, before focusing back on the movie.

Yang Yan walked upstairs, took a shower, and changed into sleepwear before walking downstairs.

Sitting next to Xu Ze, Yang Yan put his left hand behind Xu Ze and lightly embraced Xu Ze. Xu Ze concentrated on watching TV and didn't pay attention to the small movements by Yang Yan.

Xu Ze put the pine nuts in his hand on the coffee table. This kind of thing's nutrition was good, but you can't eat too much since you would get fire if you eat too much.

After putting those away, Xu Ze moved his hand to take the water cup. But before he touched the cup, Yang Yan grabbed it.

"The water is already cold." Yang Yan said before getting up and pouring half of the cold water, then added some hot water to it.

The water was warm. Xu Ze drank over half in one go.

"I have something to tell you, I will be returning to my family's home to spend the new year." After the exam, he would live here for now. Xu Ze would tell his family that he needed to do some part-time jobs, which was why he could only go back two days before the Spring Festival.

The original host basically didn't stay at home for too long during the winter and summer vacations. He would mostly stay at school. Even for the original host, the dormitory was not as cold as his home. The original host's parents were educators, having the original host practice high-pressure education since he was a child. They treated the original host more as a student than a son. In that home, the original host did not feel much affection since he was a child.

This also created some of the original host's character to a certain extent. Because he couldn't get affection, he turned toward other places.

He clearly knew that Yang Yan would not be a good person, yet he still seemed to fly towards Yang Yan like a moth to the fire.

As for Yang Yan, he knew from the beginning that the original host was different from the other lovers he had been with. The original host wanted Yang Yan's love, but Yang Yan could give anything but he would not give love. Because the original host's face was beautiful and his body was good to sleep with, Yang Yan knew that he would hurt the other party yet he didn't stop immediately. He originally only needed to tell the original host that he didn't like him. That one sentence was enough. The original host was not a person that would be entangled till death.

However, Yang Yan didn't say anything, treating the original host warmly, and gave false feelings to the other. As soon as the freshness passed, he turned his head and kicked the person away.

Now Yang Yan seemed to like him because he was pregnant. Xu Ze would not like Yang Yan. No matter if Yang Yan really loved him or not, he would not love Yang Yan.

Xu Ze knew this matter very clearly from the very beginning.

After watching the movie, more than two hours passed in a flash and Xu Ze gradually became a little sleepy.

Before going back to his room to sleep, he drank a bowl of nourishing soup that Aunt Dong made especially for this pregnant body of his. After drinking the soup, his whole body felt warm and fuzzy.

In the room, Xu Ze didn't wear much. The hem of his clothes fell on his abdomen and the protruding marks made by his abdomen seemed to be more obvious. When walking, Xu Ze could even clearly feel that his lower abdomen began to have a sinking feeling.

Returning to his bedroom, Xu Ze briefly washed himself with hot water. When he went out, Yang Yan also came in and sat on the end of the bed. The other party stared at him with burning eyes, making Xu Ze feel that a fire in his body seemed to be ignited. This body had been adjusted and taught by Yang Yan before. After Xu Ze transmigrated over, every time he slept with Yang Yan was quite nice and pleasant.

Just physically, the two of them were very compatible.

Xu Ze walked over, lifted the quilt, and sat down. He turned to look at Yang Yan, his peach blossom eyes were tender and affectionate.

Unlike before where Yang Yan took the initiative, this time Xu Ze leaned over first without waiting for Yang Yan to make a move.

Xu Ze covered Yang Yan. When Yang Yan raised his arm, wanting to embrace Xu Ze, Xu Ze grabbed Yang Yan's hand and warned Yang Yan with his eyes not to move.

Yang Yan's eyes were slightly surprised. He stared at Xu Ze and was a little puzzled by the current development.

A seductive smile formed on the corners of Xu Ze's lips. Xu Ze's crimson lips opened and he said to Yang Yan with words that seemed to deceive people's hearts: "Do you remember what the doctor said in the afternoon?"

Yang Yan raised his eyebrows immediately. Of course, he remembered it, but he didn't understand why Xu Ze raised this point at this time.

"The doctor asked me to calm my heart and rest more. Say, a matter like this could definitely not be counted as that right?" Xu Ze's eyes flashed with a smile inside.

Yang Yan raised a brow. Since Xu Ze knew that he should take more rest and reduce strenuous exercise, what does he mean by crawling on top of him now and deliberately trying to seduce him?

Yang Yan's black pupils were heavy and deep as he focused on Xu Ze's glittering peach blossom eyes: "Then what do you mean?"

Yang Yan didn't beat around the bush, and simply just asked him directly.

"What I mean is to help each other this time." Xu Ze's gaze went down, dropping under Yang Yan's clothes. Yang Yan instantly understood what his words meant.

Yang Yan leaned back against the head of the bed. His fierce and sharp gaze stared at Xu Ze's delicate and picturesque face for a few seconds.

"Alright, then you first!" Originally, Yang Yan only wanted to purely sleep being covered by the quilt tonight, because he knew that Xu Ze's health had a problem in the afternoon and he needed a good rest. Yet unexpectedly. Xu Ze's needs in certain aspects seemed to be stronger than he imagined.

Yang Yan didn't reveal the thoughts in his heart. He didn't say it, but Xu Ze's eyes were sharp and he could basically guess what Yang Yan was thinking when he looked at Yang Yan.

Currently TLing Chapter: 28

Since they lived under one roof, they should help each other when the other needed anything.

Xu Ze had a bit of need today, so he took the initiative to find Yang Yan. Of course, Yang Yan would not refuse. Not to mention trivial matters like these, he sometimes even thought that if Xu Ze wanted the stars in the sky, he would have used every means to pluck them off for Xu Ze.

Xu Ze didn't want stars. He only needed two things from Yang Yan. One was the 10 million yuan, and the other was occasional physical help.

It was now January, which meant that he was about four months pregnant. Yang Yan has already transferred 2 million to his card, which was received at the end of each month.

For one of the apartments that Xu Ze had set his eyes on before, the full price was about 1.6 million yuan. The small apartment was more than 40 square meters and was finely decorated. The landlord also had only acquired the house for about a year. All the household appliances were high-end brands, and Xu Ze wanted all of them.

After waiting for a while, when the landlord came back from out of town, Xu Ze and the landlord made an appointment to meet and sign a purchase contract. The intermediary was handling the relevant procedures. Xu Ze only needed to go and sign then give the landlord the money.

Since Xu Ze was buying the house with full payment, the procedures were completed quickly. However, the real estate certificate has not been transferred for the time being, still having to wait for another month or so. But the landlord handed the key of the house to Xu Ze. Taking the key, Xu Ze walked to the newly bought apartment, opened the door, and walked in.

Modern people had a high degree of pursuit for houses. It seemed that their heart would only feel a bit of belonging once they had their own house.

Having your own house, having it be yours, had a special meaning.

Before going upstairs, Xu Ze swept around the apartment building a little. As he expected, there was a shop for installing door locks outside the apartment. Xu Ze took the boss's business card and asked the boss when he had time since he planned to change the door lock. The boss said that the person who installs the door locks was outside right now. They could change the lock tomorrow morning.

Xu Ze thought about it for a while. Anyway, he didn't come to live here right away. It would be fine if he waited for a few days.

Xu Ze put the boss's business card in his pocket. He returned to the apartment and sat on the sofa. This apartment had a good location. It was facing the inner courtyard, not towards the outside road, less dust, and a relatively quiet environment.

Xu Ze leaned back and onto the sofa. He was already looking forward to living here after the baby was born.

After staying in the apartment for a few hours, Xu Ze leaned on the sofa to sleep for a while. After he woke up, Xu Ze got up and left. While waiting in the elevator, Yang Yan's phone call came. Yang Yan asked where Xu Ze was right now.

Xu Ze's eyes flashed slightly. He lied that he had just finished watching a movie and was on his way back. Naturally, he couldn't say that he had bought an apartment and had already obtained the key to the house.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Yan did not suspect him. He told Xu Ze to pay attention to safety when he's taking a car to return.

"En, I'll pay attention." Xu Ze slightly smiled. After all, the money for the house was all given by Yang Yan, so his tone was much softer than before.

Yang Yan could hear the little change in Xu Ze's voice. However, he only thought it was his concern that made Xu Ze feel a little touched. He had no idea that while living with him, what Xu Ze was thinking was to buy a good house, then waved his hand and leave when the time came.

Xu Ze went downstairs and called an online car to return home. When he went back, he even thought that Yang Yan was at home because Yang Yan asked him where he was. The meaning of those words clearly seemed like Yang Yan was waiting for him.

In the end, the living room was empty. Auntie Dong, who was cooking in the kitchen, noticed that Xu Ze was back. She walked out of the kitchen and saw that Xu Ze seemed to be looking for someone. Auntie Dong told Xu Ze, "Yang Yan just came back then left again because of temporary matters."

Xu Ze nodded, indicating that he now knew about this matter.

An alluring scent came from the kitchen, and Xu Ze asked, "Auntie Dong, what are you cooking? It smells so good!"

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, your favorite." Auntie Dong would make sweet and sour pork ribs often. After working here for a while, Auntie Dong basically knew everything about Xu Ze's preferences.

"Then I'll eat more tonight." Xu Ze smiled brightly.

"You sit and watch TV first, there's still a soup to make." After Auntie Dong finished speaking, she returned to the kitchen.

Dinner was just Xu Ze and Auntie Dong sitting down to eat. Although Auntie Dong was the housekeeper, everyone was together when it was time to eat. Even Xu Ze regarded Auntie Dong as an elder. He would not look down on Auntie Dong just because Auntie Dong was hired by Yang Yan to take care of him.

Xu Ze had a good appetite this night. Auntie Dong made all the dishes he liked, and those dishes were especially good. Xu Ze even ate two bowls in a row, eating until he burped at the end.

After dinner, Xu Ze sat on the sofa. He picked up his legs and put them on the sofa. He took the remote controller in his hand and turned to the music station to listen to songs.

Xu Ze rubbed his stomach lightly since he ate too much. He put his hand on his stomach and waited. Most of the time, the baby was sleeping. However sometimes, when he put his hand on his stomach, he could feel a little movement from the baby.

Since that time Xu Ze knew that the baby would play and blow bubbles inside, this situation has been happening often.

Even sometimes when Xu Ze was in class at school, the baby would suddenly become very lively and blow bubbles for a while. That kind of feeling could not be described in words. Xu Ze would press his hands on his stomach during class. His roommate Zhou Xing saw Xu Ze clutching his stomach. After class, he came to Xu Ze and quietly asked him if the thing in his stomach made him uncomfortable—Xu Ze once revealed to Zhou Xing, saying that there was something growing in his stomach. Because it was benign, the doctor recommended that it be removed after a few months. Zhou Xing only knew this, not knowing that the thing was actually a child.

Xu Ze also stopped making excuses, lest after this excuse, he would still need to use other excuses to make up for them.

He nodded as in yes.

"Then go to the hospital for another checkup?" Zhou Xing was concerned about Xu Ze's body.

"I just went there last week. I go to the hospital every month. I don't have any lesions. However, occasionally I feel a little uncomfortable." Both the first and last sentences were true, but the middle one without lesions was false.

"How many months do you have to wait for the surgery? Though it's good that it's benign." Zhou Xing said, staring into Xu Ze's eyes.

Xu Ze didn't say too much.

"Do you know about a certain matter?" Zhou Xing changed the subject and lowered his voice.

Zhou Xing had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking innocent, yet he had a heart of gossip in his bones. Xu Ze raised his eyebrows, knowing that even if he didn't ask Zhou Xing, he couldn't help but say it himself.

"I heard that Yang Yan bought a house right outside the school. He's even cohabiting with a certain boy in our school. You say, is the world really becoming so flamboyant?" Zhou Xing shook his head in lament as he spoke.

Zhou Xing didn't pay much attention at that time, not knowing that when he said this, the color in Xu Ze's eyes had some slight changes.

"Who did you hear this from?" Xu Ze asked with a smile.

"The class next door. It seems that one day someone saw Yang Yan driving his car with his little lover inside." Zhou Xing had a cheerful gossip-sharing expression.

Xu Ze shook his head and laughed: "The final exam is approaching. If you have nothing to do, read more books. You don't need to score too high, but you need to have at least 60 points right?"

Hearing that the exam was about to take place, Zhou Xing's originally excited face collapsed. He stared at Xu Ze with mournful eyes: "We are still good friends if you stop mentioning the exam!"

"Then let's break up!" Xu Ze's smile deepened.

Zhou Xing was stunned before staring at Xu Ze: "Xu Ze, you've become bad."

After returning that day, Xu Ze mentioned the rumors about their cohabitation to Yang Yan. His meaning was that the two of them should try to avoid going in and out together in the future. He didn't want to have any trouble. If his classmates knew that he was with Yang Yan, Zhou Xing alone would probably be able to talk so much in front of Xu Ze. Since he lived with Zhou Xing for a few years, Xu Ze still knew Zhou Xing's character.

Regarding Xu Ze's request, Yang Yan wanted to say no at the first moment. However, facing Xu Ze's clear and bright gaze, the words of refusal stopped in his throat. Yang Yan's reply could only be one, that was, nodding and saying ok.

After that, the rumors seemed to fade away slowly. Zhou Xing's feedback to Xu Ze was that Yang Yan and his new lover most likely broke up. Recently, Yang Yan was all by himself.

Xu Ze wondered why Zhou Xing was so concerned about Yang Yan's movements, and Zhou Xing said: "He's our school's school grass. You don't even know that the school also has a special fan club just for him, do you? Inside that club is full of his fans. Some people even take Yang Yan as the male lead and then write themselves talking about love with Yang Yan."

"You tell me if they're crazy or not?"

Zhou Xing couldn't help smacking his tongue when he said this. He couldn't figure it out, so he asked Xu Ze: "You say, other than Yang Yan growing to be a bit handsome and that his family has a bit of money, what other advantages does he even have?"

Xu Ze raised his hand and touched Zhou Xing's forehead with the back of his hand. After confirming that Zhou Xing was not sick, Xu Ze asked, "Isn't any one of them enough?"

Having money or having looks, just one of them was enough for many people to pursue, not to mention Yang Yan had both.

Zhou Xing glared at Xu Ze angrily: "What nonsense truth are you talking about?!"

Xu Ze shook his head, not bothering to pay attention to Zhou Xing, who was always full of drama.

No one in the school knew that Xu Ze and Yang Yan were together, so school life was simple and ordinary. Occasionally, on a classmate's birthday or other things, everyone would arrange to eat together. If they wanted to drink, Xu Ze would find an excuse. Everyone was classmates, so they would not force Xu Ze to drink.

However, in any place, any place outside, even if the indoor air conditioner is turned on, Xu Ze would not take off his down jacket. Because if he took it off, his slightly protruding belly would be exposed. One less problem was always better than one more.

Quickly pulling back his thoughts, Xu Ze sat on the sofa. As he listened to the beautiful singing of the star, Xu Ze smiled faintly. He seemed to have a little impression that listening to more music during pregnancy was good for the baby's growth.

Xu Ze gently stroked his belly. Speaking of which, he still didn't know whether the baby in his belly was a boy or a girl. But no matter what it was, it would be a little naughty cutie.

So two dreams this week.

I was at a party at a restaurant that apparently my parents owned and worked at. This was a small 7-8 people party where we just ate food and didn't drink much.

Then when the party was finished, there were two cars to drive us back home. The younger juniors went on one car and the older seniors went on the other. Also, we're teenagers now for some reason.

Before we left my dad, the main cook, made some soup for everyone to take home. Not hangover soup, just normal soup.

As I made it home, I was the only person at my house. I'm guessing my parents still had to work? I found a note on the ground. As I went to pick it up, someone pushed me down from behind.

He started to ask me questions like "Where is [Something]" or "How do you [Something]". I don't remember the specifics. I answered back with "I don't know" and even wanted to know as well.

Then the person realized I actually didn't know anything and released me. As I turned around, I saw a very fit older man with a scar over his right eye and gray hair. I could basically see his muscles under his clothes. To put it short, he was hot. But unfortunately not my kind of hot, but still hot.

The person then started telling me about the 5 ancient creatures. The first was Entia(?), an ancient tree that I apparently knew was actually a dog. Then I woke up soon after. I don't remember the rest but they should relate to the 5 elements.

So this was a very long dream that took me some time to write down. This was a weird one, yet very interesting. Most likely because I did cool things in the dream, but still. Also, a warning that this dream gets dark at moments so be prepared for that.

To begin, I was a zombie that could shoot out strings from my hands. Basically zombie spiderman. I also have 4 other zombie friends that we hunt with.

What do we hunt? Of course humans! We hunt them down to eat. While I don't remember actually eating anyone, I still hope I wasn't a cannibal. I definitely still killed people in my dream though.

One time when we were hunting near a school, we were almost caught. But thankfully, I called another zombie friend of mine. Then soon, a school bus drove over to us.

The driver was a female zombie with stitches over her body. As my friends and I entered the bus, we saw that there were 10-20 little child zombies on the bus.

We drove around after we lost our pursuers. We stopped in the middle of nowhere when we saw people. Next to the road was a 6-9 group of gangsters huddling around a car. The driver zombie wanted to hunt, but I said that my friends and I will do the hunting as thanks for the help.

We got off the bus and were questioned by one of the gangsters. I didn't bother replying and rushed forward. I got right next to him in basically an instant and slit the gangster's throat.

Yeah… I may or may not have read too many action novels with death always involved.

Continuing on, I continued moving forward and shot out two strings, one from each hand, towards two of the gangsters. I pulled them up into the air then slammed them to the ground close to me. I finish them off, not slitting their throat this time.

As my friends took care of the gangsters, there was one left who started running away. I chased and killed them. However, there were people coming up the road.

My zombie friends and I rushed to the bus. One of my friends and I went to the car(it's there now, don't ask questions) in order to save time. It's also because I left some string there since I could reuse them. Even though I could magically produce them anyways.

I opened the front passenger door and scooted quickly to the driver's seat. I did some quick organizing as my friend sat in the front passenger seat. I leaned out the driver's window. I shot my string at the bus, wanting to use the bus to drive instead of actually driving. Unfortunately, The bus started too soon and I missed it.

Then, I sort of went back in time. I think I rewinded time to the point where I just killed the last guy. I have even more powers I guess.

This time I rushed faster and didn't bother organizing. I shot my string and it landed on the bus. Now comes a long driving period. The bus moved forward, pulling the car along. However, because it was on a string, the car kept crashing into things like rails and other cars.

Not only that, the string for some reason also started to stretch out. It's not breaking at all, since it's unbreakable I think, it's just stretched more and more. I had to keep pulling the string more and more in order for the car to keep up with the bus.

Once that mess ended, because none of us zombies actually ate, we decided to go to a rich people's party. We went and this time my friends and I suggested we go sneaky. We went with this plan as the driver and the children zombies waited behind.

We sneaked into the 15ish people party. I went and crawled the ceiling and looked down at everyone. One of my male zombie friends went in as a waiter. Now it was a view change focusing on the friend.

The friend went around giving people drinks that were drugged. However, one female drank it and got really drunk. The people at the party were suspicious of the friend, but they stopped when they saw that the friend drank it and was completely fine. They just thought that the female was weak at drinking.

The party continued and the friend continued passing around the drugged drinks. This time no one got drunk until every single one got to have a drink. Then the fun began.

The friend started to hypnotize everyone. Using the effects from the drugs, every person because a slave, a blood slave. They were ordered to live in an apartment(to help the environment I guess), continue working, and live their life like normal. The only other thing was to send them blood once in a while.

How you ask? Why, it's through a portal! The portal that one of my female zombie friends could make all this time!

The driver zombie was happy about the constant blood since this will at least satiate them partially. However, he still asked about flesh. I then told her to just wait. Then the portal opened and one of the people came out because that person broke through hypnosis.

So while that rich man broke through hypnosis, he was in his apartment that was filled with spiders of a variety of sizes. They were all over the floor, the wall, the ceiling, and all the furniture.

The man tried to escape while a really large spider chased after him. He then tripped and landed on a lot of little spiders, which then carried him to the portal. As the flashback(?) ended, I turned towards the children zombie and said, it's time to feast.

A time skip happened. We were now at a company that we decided to raid. However only I went in and the other went elsewhere, most likely to get more food.

After I got halfway through the company, I realized this company's security was really strong, as they sent waves of humans and robots with weapons to hunt me down. I was in too deep to leave, so I had to run around as the security hunted me everywhere.

I remember having to crawl through vents to save my life. One time I was in the vent, I hid right over the vent cover, wanting to leave immediately once the robot left the room. However, they were too smart. They opened the vent and shot at me. I rewinded time once again and fixed my mistake.

There was a part where I had to swing myself like spiderman around a floating, protrusion-like building out of the main one. I had to go back and forth, over and under the building to escape the chasers, I felt really cool during that part since I swung around in the air.

Finally, when I reached the top of the company and entered the room I needed to be in, I woke up. Yay.

This was a long dream to write out, being 1207 words in total for this one alone.

Currently TLing Chapter: 28

At ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Ze went back to his room, washed up, and went to sleep. When he lay down, he checked the time. It was half-past ten, yet Yang Yan hadn't returned.

In recent times, if there were no special circumstances, Yang Yan was always leaving late and returning early. Most of the time, he would come back before Xu Ze went to sleep. Xu Ze turned off the light and lay down. Some habits were very easy to form.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, Xu Ze in a daze felt someone lying beside him.

Without opening his eyes, Xu Ze knew that it was Yang Yan based on the familiar smell from the other party.

Yang Yan didn't seem to have turned on the light. Since it wasn't on, Xu Ze didn't bother opening his eyes either. He turned over and lay down with his back toward Yang Yan.

Yang Yan thought that Xu Ze was asleep, so he tried his best to be careful. Yet in the end, he still woke Xu Ze up.

Slowly lying down, Yang stretched his arms around Xu Ze's body and pulled it over.

Xu Ze suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Yang Yan in front of his eyes. The latter didn't say a word, leaned up, and kissed Xu Ze's lips.

It was a very light kiss. Yang Yan immediately backed away after sticking it down. He then raised his head slightly and kissed Xu Ze's clean forehead. His eyes were gentle and lingered with affection.

Although Yang Yan had taken a bath and also rinsed his mouth, Xu Ze could still smell a little bit of alcohol. Under the status of being pregnant, he was very sensitive to the surrounding odors.

"You drank alcohol?" Because Xu Ze had just woken up, his voice sounded sticky, with a distinct nasal tone that made people's hearts throb.

Yang Yan nodded: "Drank a little, did I wake you up?"

"It's fine, I enter sleep fast." Xu Ze's sleep quality was good, basically, the type that can fall asleep after a short moment.

Seeing that Xu Ze's brows did not seem to contain unpleasantness from being awoken, the gentleness in Yang Yan's eyes spread. He rubbed Xu Ze's smooth hair and inched closer to Xu Ze. Like a patient with skin hunger, the back of his hand caressed Xu Ze's cheek, refusing to leave.

"I'll pay attention and drink less in the future." Yang Yan promised.

Xu Ze didn't care whether Yang Yan drank less or more. He yawned and the corners of his eyes were a little wet.

Yang Yan's gaze was fixated on Xu Ze's narrowed, brimming with water, peach blossom eyes.

"Let's sleep." Yang Yan pulled the quilt over him and Xu Ze. He even feared that there would be air pockets letting wind in, that he used his hand to press it down.

Seeing this little movement of Yang Yan's, Xu Ze didn't have any extra expression. He turned his eyes away, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.

In the darkness, Yang Yan didn't close his eyes for a long time. Although he couldn't see Xu Ze's face clearly, the steady breathing sound from the other party fell in Yang Yan's ears. Those sounds made one's heart feel extremely calm and peaceful.

He did have sleepiness, but at this moment, Yang Yan didn't want to just fall asleep like this. With Xu Ze's warm body in his arms, Yang Yan just wanted this dark night to extend indefinitely.

Even if it's just like this, purely sleeping covered with the blanket, Yang Yan could only feel that his heart was fully satisfied.

As the end of the term was approaching, Xu Ze had to prepare for the final exam. Although Yang Yan and he were not in the same major, the exam period was basically the same.

With the arrival of the end of the semester, courses gradually decreased. Instead, it was replaced by subject-by-subject examinations.

Most of the course teachers would take a class or half a class before the exam to draw a key point for everyone. As for the time after that, they would be left to everyone to self-review and recite.

During the exam, Xu Ze reviewed at home. The content of the exam was relatively simple and Xu Ze's memory was okay. He'll be fine with just remembering enough to get the passing 60 points. His goals were not high, though the results obtained from the test were generally much higher than 60 points.

Yang Yan occasionally also revised at home, though he doesn't have as much time as Xu Ze. Yang Yan belonged to the kind of people who were learning gods. Basically, he could remember everything as it was taught in class. He had no need to be like most other people, having to cram again before the exam.

The final exams were over. On the final day, the roommates from Xu Ze's dormitory and several other classmates arranged to go out to eat hot pot together.

When the group of people walked outside the school, a female voice suddenly called out to Xu Ze. Xu Ze stopped as with everyone else that was also quite curious. Everyone looked for the voice and saw a tall, handsome girl standing beside a flaming red sports car.

The girl was wearing a short, white down jacket. Inside was a beige sweater plus a deep gray short skirt. On her feet were a pair of black boots. When everyone's gazes went over, the girl walked closer with a smile on her face.

She walked straight toward Xu Ze then stood still right in front of him.

Zhong Min had watched photos or videos before, so she knew that the person who hooked Yang Yan was handsome. However, when she saw the real person, Zhong Min found that the photos could not fully show Xu Ze's prosperous beauty. When such a face was so close, Zhong Min even felt that her breathing seemed to slow down involuntarily, for fear that her breathing would be too rapid and disturb the other party.

"Xu Ze, who is this? Your friend?" Zhou Xing immediately came over from the side and asked. His gaze fell on Zhong Min's face, unable to hide his astonishment. Why didn't he know that Xu Ze knew such a beautiful woman like this? With this beauty, her standing beside Xu Ze would not be inferior.

"Hello, my name is Zhong Min." Zhong Min greeted Zhou Xing generously and her dyed smiling eyes also met with other people's eyes. After turning around, Zhong Min's eyes fell back to Xu Ze. When she looked at Xu Ze's peach blossom eyes that seemed to be swaying in spring, Zhong Min's had a sudden bit of change in her expression.

She heard her heartbeat beating faster suddenly. Being watched by such a pair of tender, affectionate eyes that's mixed with stars, for a moment Zhong Min seemed to feel that she had the misconception that she was liked by the other person.

Zhong Min's lips moved slightly. She instantly understood why Yang Yan's heart was moved by Xu Ze. If this was her lover, she also would definitely not run and play around outside. Just looking at this person's face made one's heart tremble and palpitate.

Facing the doubts leaking out from Xu Ze's eyes, Zhong Min took a step forward. She stuck her lips next to Xu Ze's ear and said in a voice that only she and Xu Ze could hear: "Xu Ze, I am Yang Yan's former pursuer."

Former pursuer? When Zhong Min backed away, the confusion in Xu Ze's eyes deepened.

Pursuer he knew, but former pursuer? It took Xu Ze some time to digest this information.

Zhong Min was someone Yang Yan knew. Based on these behaviors of hers, Xu Ze had reasons to believe that Zhong Min may know that he and Yang Yan were living together. As for the matter of him bearing a child, Xu Ze noticed that Zhong Min's gaze did not fall onto his abdomen. Zhong Min was most likely not clear about the child.

"You guys are planning to go out and eat together? You don't mind adding me as a plus right?" Zhong Min's smile was bright and moving. Even if some of the group had girlfriends, they couldn't help but stare at Zhong Min.

"Since you're Xu Ze's friend, then you're also our friend! Of course, we don't mind. We're planning to go and have hot pot. Can you eat spicy food?" Zhou Xing said.

"I can, I have no problem with spicy food." Zhong Min looked over at Xu Ze when she spoke. Xu Ze's expression was faint and she couldn't tell what he was currently thinking.

Zhong Min's unexpected addition made many single people a little excited. Even if it's just this one time, eating with such a beautiful person made them unable to calm down.

Someone came over and wanted to chat with Zhong Min, at least letting Zhong Min know his name. Seeing that Zhong Min took out her phone and seemed to want to contact someone, that person's footsteps paused. Zhou Xing who was next to him put his hand on the shoulder of his classmate, with meaning in his words: "What were you gonna do going over there? Are you gonna stand between those two people? Even if you were a background board, you still wouldn't be qualified!"

Although Zhou Xing's words were not pleasant, they were telling the truth.

The classmate looked sideways at the people walking next to him. The boy was gorgeous and handsome while the girl was beautiful. The classmate sighed and dismissed the idea of going to strike up a conversation. After all, he still had self-awareness.

Zhong Min and Xu Ze walked side by side. While she called on her phone, she would deliberately approach Xu Ze again as if she wanted Xu Ze to hear who she was talking to.

The voice on the other end of the phone was vaguely familiar, and then Zhong Min said to the other person the sentences: "I'm outside your school and I happened to meet Xu Ze. He's going out to eat with some of his classmates. I remember that I also happened to not have eaten, so I'm following them for a meal.".

After these sentences, Xu Ze knew who Zhong Min was calling.

The sudden appearance of Zhong Min was completely unexpected to Xu Ze. He probably never imagined that Yang Yan's suitor would come to meet him directly like this.

Wait, Xu Ze's eyes narrowed. He remembered that Zhong Min had just whispered to him in his ear that she was Yang Yan's former pursuer. According to the previous inferences, Zhong Min had pursued Yang Yan before, but she had failed to catch Yang Yan. Since it was former, does it mean that Zhong Min was no longer continuing to pursue Yang Yan anymore?

Since she wasn't pursuing him, why did Zhong Min find him here? Did she want to see what the person together with Yang Yan looked like? Xu Ze guessed that it was most likely this possibility.

Ah, poor Xu Ze. Still so innocent and clueless about your face. I'm surprised that none of his classmates confessed to him yet since he's so gorgeous.

So three dreams this week. All of them are rather short since I don't remember much of anything. However, this time, the first dream is dark I suppose. So I'm putting that as the third one.

So this dream was set in a magical world. I was a super Op wizard. I think I went to space and different planets, but I'm only 80% confident on this.

I remember an erupting volcano on another planet. I was with friends and a dino pet. I had to go into the lava after using a protective shield spell to… save the planet I guess?

There was a scene of a villain attacking my home kingdom/planet. It was a 1v1 fight. The knight on my side was losing to the villain. I couldn't help because I was on another planet. But then the knight's necklace glowed and I popped out. I think a clone of me was there to save the day.

That's it for that dream.

So I remember essentially nothing for this dream. Other than I was Op again and it being like a peaceful world, I can't really remember much.

I literally told myself when I woke up that: "Oh this is a fun dream. I better at least write the main plot points down so I can better remember it."

I grab my phone then get distracted for like three seconds and poof! I remember nothing. Yay.

So this one get dark. For me personally, I don't really think it was a big deal nor anything, to be honest.

I think of my dreams as interesting fiction, but that's it. They're completely fake. I don't think or ponder on them too much. That's why I think that I'm not really affected by those horror dreams.

Now that I state I'm completely fine and healthy psychologically, let me say some warnings about this very short part of the dream that I could remember.

This dream contains murder and maybe contain suicide with a heavy doubt. It's very stretched to say that it was suicide. I'll explain later.

So the dream I remember was that an assassin sneaked up behind me and killed me. I couldn't do anything as they slit my throat.

I could feel the knife as it plunged into my neck and sliced through to the side. I could feel my airways blocked and the knife slid across my flesh.

Thankfully, I couldn't feel pain in my dream, so all I felt was the weird sensation of the knife entering and slashing through my throat. It felt so weird in fact that I actually want to feel it again to remember exactly how it felt like.

Now, I'm saying this might be suicide since my dream is technically me. So my dream killing me is technically me killing me, aka suicide. It's a bit of a stretch like I said, but still.

So before I end this, let me say again that I'm completely fine. I'm feeling great and happy with my life. This is just one of those random dreams that pop up once in a while.

So don't feel worried about me and take this as a, I don't know, weird not really funny joke of some sort. That's all.

I do want to have that dream again though. I really want to feel that weird sensation again for some reason. But only in my dream! I hate pain. Like a lot.

… I should just stop now.

Currently TLing Chapter: 28

Zhong Min just told Yang Yan that she was with Xu Ze, making Yang Yan's tone suddenly turn colder.

She only heard Yang Yan's voice that was like frost wrapping around to freeze someone: "Zhong Min, what do you want to do?" These words were hiding warnings and threats.

Zhong Min heard them, but she was not the least bit afraid. Other people might be afraid of Yang Yan, but she would not.

"I don't, what can I do? Relax, how would I dare to hurt your baby? Yang Yan, I remember that I seemed to have said a certain sentence to you last time we met. Can you guess which one?" Zhong Min asked Yang Yan with a smile.

The corners of Yang Yan's mouth almost pursed into a straight line. He remained silent on his side, not replying with even a single word.

As if knowing that Yang Yan would not reply, Zhong Min didn't plan to wait for Yang Yan to actually remember it. It could be guessed that the other party basically forgot everything they had talked about.

"I told you at the beginning that I like love at first sight because it's beautiful and romantic."

Zhong Min raised her chin slightly as she looked to the side at Xu Ze who was walking beside her. The face that was beautiful and unparalleled from 360-degree made Zhong Min feel that no matter how long she looked at this face, she would never get tired of it.

Yang Yan's eyes were really good. It could even be said to be super good. He had even found such a treasure.

Zhong Min's heart couldn't help but envy Yang Yan.

"You're not going to tell me that you fell in love with my person at first sight?" Yang Yan was not a fool, he could hear the meaning in Zhong Min's words.

Why didn't he realize that Zhong Min had this kind of personality? She not only investigated him and the people around him but also dared to go directly to Xu Ze. Yang Yan slightly raised his lips. The smile he had was terrifyingly sinister.

"You should know Xu Ze's charm since you sleep with him. You should know better than me whether he is attractive or not." Zhong Min's words were actually quite excessive to be precise.

"Didn't you say someone is bearing you a child? I don't think you're a liar, so you have another woman. Although I haven't found out about that person yet, since you have protected her too well. Getting your feet in two boats isn't good. Take a guess, what if Xu Ze knew that you had another woman and that the other party was pregnant with your child? What would he do?" Zhong Min slowed down her steps a bit, so she landed behind the crowd. Her gaze darkened as she stared at Xu Ze who was walking in front.

She felt that a handsome adorable person like Xu Ze following a promiscuous-hearted person like Yang Yan was completely like abusing a heaven-sent treasure. If Xu Ze was with her, it would be different. She would definitely hold Xu Ze in her palm and love him very well.

Zhong Min thought that Yang Yan would be angry when she said these words, yet Yang Yan's reaction was beyond Zhong Min's expectations.

"So you are going to change your target and pursue Xu Ze instead?" There was no warmth in Yang Yan's voice, a plain of frigid coldness.

"Do I need your permission?" Zhong Min asked.

"No need, but I can give you a reminder. He won't like you." Yang Yan originally had a fire in his heart. There was a Xie Chengzhou in front of him and now there was another Zhong Min. One then two wanted to take someone from him.

For Xie Chengzhou, Yang Yan did feel a little bit of a crisis, but later Yang Yan thought about it carefully. Judging from the sleeps he and Xu Ze had, Xu Ze's body could not leave him. He was Xu Ze's first man. Xu Ze could not-like him, but Xu Ze's body had a dependency on him.

Yang Yan gradually realized a point. He didn't need to care about other people at all because Xu Ze was pregnant with his child. No one else could compete with him on this point. Whether or not Zhong Min was pursuing Xu Ze, Xu Ze right now was living with him and sleeping in the same bed with him.

From the information disclosed by Zhong Min, Yang Yan knew that Zhong Min had misunderstood one thing. There was no other woman he had outside. The one who conceived his child was Xu Ze.

"Thank you for the reminder." Zhong Min thanked Yang Yan for his kindness. After hanging up her phone, Zhong Min quickened her pace and trotted to Xu Ze's side.

Xu Ze glanced sideways at Zhong Min. It seemed that the smile on Zhong Min's face was thicker than before.

He thought that Zhong Min might say something to him, but Zhong Min didn't say anything. Yet it gave Xu Ze a vague sense of familiarity. The gaze Zhong Min was staring at him with was familiar.

When they got to the place where they were going to eat, Zhong Min and Xu Ze sat together. Everyone thought that Zhong Min really knew Xu Ze and was a friend of Xu Ze, so no one thought something was wrong when they saw them sitting together. How could they guess that this was the first meeting between Xu Ze and Zhong Min?

It was clearly the first time they met, yet Zhong Min was acting quite familiar, expressing an abnormal amount of enthusiasm. Some classmates brought girlfriends, yet their behavior was as attentive as Zhong Min treating Xu Ze, such as waving her hand to call over the server to add water when she saw that the water in Xu Ze's cup was running out. For example, knowing that Xu Ze likes to eat beef, she specially cooked with chopsticks then put them in Xu Ze's bowl. These behaviors caught the eyes of other people, even making them almost think that Zhong Min was Xu Ze's girlfriend.

But at the same time, some people made a murmur in their hearts. They knew Xu Ze's sexuality, that Xu Ze liked men. If they looked closely at Zhong Min's gaze on Xu Ze, who was hardly concealing her intentions, she clearly had some ideas onXu Ze.

Everyone didn't think too much, guessing that Zhong Min might not know Xu Ze's orientation. After all, Xu Ze's face was more delicate and good-looking than many celebrities. Sometimes when he ate in the school cafeteria, girls would come over to ask for his contact information. Fortunately, Xu Ze liked men. If he liked girls, everyone might really be envious and jealous.

Zhong Min was interested in Xu Ze and everyone saw it but didn't say it aloud. Xu Ze should handle such a situation himself. Everyone should just focus on eating and drinking.

After the hot pot meal, they went to check out. But when they asked for the check, the staff told them that it had already been settled. Everyone was "you look at me, I look at you." They originally wanted to pay together, yet someone paid and didn't say anything. So they simply asked but everyone said it wasn't them. Just when everyone was curious, Zhong Min, who went to the bathroom, came out and saw the group huddled around each other with strange expressions. She went over and asked what was the matter.

Then Xu Ze replied to Zhong Min's words. Not replying with what happened, but instead another question: "The bill was settled by you?"

Zhong Min smiled and nodded: "I'm very happy to be able to have dinner with everyone. Just count this as me treating everyone for this meal today, is that okay?"

In the last sentence, Zhong Min moved her gaze around to look at everyone. No one would refuse the request of a beautiful woman. Not to mention everyone saw it before that Zhong Min drove a sports car over and the car right now was still parked outside the school.

"Of course it's okay. It's our honor to be able to let a beautiful lady treat us." Someone answered.

"We're going to karaoke in a while, do you have time?" Zhou Xing really liked Zhong Min's cheerful personality, even though he knew that Zhong Min would definitely not look at him. Although his family had a little money, he still had a bit of disparity when compared to Zhong Min. Not to mention it could be seen at a glance that Zhong Min was definitely looking at appearances. Her eyes would be a little different when she only stared at Xu Ze.

When talking to them, Zhou Xing was clear that Zhong Min didn't care about who they were at all.

Zhong Min originally wanted to say yes, but before speaking, she thought of Xu Ze. She came here entirely for Xu Ze. If Xu Ze didn't go, then there was no need for her to go either.

"Xu Ze, are you going?" Zhong Min turned around and asked Xu Ze.

"I won't be going. I'm not used to staying up late recently. If I go to bed too late, I'll be in a bad mood the next day." Earlier, Xu Ze was looking for a reason for his physical discomfort, but now that he has changed the reason to not being able to stay up late. This way it was easier to explain.

Zhou Xing knew the inside story and with him on the side to help talk, the other classmates would also no longer be suspicious.

For example, at this time, Zhou Xing raised his eyebrows and joked to Xu Ze, "Xu Ze, be careful when you go back, beautiful boys right now aren't perfectly safe either."

Xu Ze gave Zhou Xing a cold look, but Zhou Xing just smiled.

"Oh, I just remembered. I still have something to do, so I won't be going to sing. You guys have fun. With Xu Ze, I will drive him back. I won't let anyone have any ideas on him." Zhong Min was clearly the one who wanted to have ideas on Xu Ze.

Zhou Xing replied, "Then I'll trouble you." Then he and the others left.

Xu Ze stood still. These people just arranged him like this without even asking his opinion.

"I live nearby, it's just a few minutes walk away. No need to bother if you have something to do." Xu Ze said politely and estranged.

"It's no trouble. When I said that I had matters to deal with, that was to lie to them. There is actually nothing."

Zhong Min was not so easily dismissed. Her heart was finally moved for someone, so she doesn't want to be separated from Xu Ze so soon. Zhong Min wanted to take more looks at this beautiful and flawless face, and these peach blossom eyes that seemed to contain three-point of spring love at any time.

"I told Yang Yan that I will take you home personally. If you were to go back by yourself in a while, he will definitely blame me when he knows that I have broken my promise. You shouldn't want me to be blamed by Yang Yan, right?" Zhong Min smiled slightly. She could definitely speak some words.

After hearing these, Xu Ze just wanted to laugh. And he did laugh, and with this laugh, the Zhong Min in front of him was stunned.

Zhong Min thought that she heard the sound of begonia flowers blossoming. All the noise around her was gone and she could only hear Xu Ze's voice.

"Did you get our gender wrong? You are a girl and I am a guy." Xu Ze reminded Zhong Min.

"I didn't get it wrong, I'm not so blind yet. Let's go, I'll drive you back!" Although Zhong Min said with a smile, her attitude could be seen to be quite persistent.

Xu Ze also didn't want to entangle with Zhong Min on this matter. He was afraid that when he really refused, Zhong Min would drive by the side and watch him walk. Xu Ze had this kind of premonition from Zhong Min's gaze.

Xu Ze took a step back: "Okay, then I'll be troubling you."

Then Xu Ze waited by the side of the road, while Zhong Min drove over with her car.

When Zhong Min was driving over her car, Xu Ze answered a phone call from Yang Yan, who asked if Xu Ze was still eating hot pot.

"I've already finished eating, I'll return in a while." Xu Ze looked at the neon lights on the street.

"Be careful on the road." Yang Yan urged.

Yang Yan often said these similar words that he almost regarded Xu Ze as a glass person.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Min came over after a while. Xu Ze opened the car door and sat in. Zhong Min said that she didn't know the way and asked Xu Ze to help direct her.

Xu Ze showed Zhong Min the way. The sports car turned a few streets and drove outside a community.

Xu Ze thanked her and pushed the door to get out of the car.

As soon as he left, Zhong Min also walked out of her car.

Zhong Min walked around the front of the car and came to Xu Ze. She lightly smiled and asked Xu Ze, "Aren't you going to invite me up for a drink?" This hidden meaning was obvious enough.

"It's getting late, you should also go back to rest early." Xu Ze could hear the meaning in Zhong Min's words, but he just pretended that he didn't know anything.

"Xu Ze, I think you are especially cute. You are the cutest person I have seen in so many years." Zhong Min's eyes were shining brightly.

"If there's nothing, then I'll be going up first." Xu Ze's face gradually showed indifference, no longer giving Zhong Min a soft look.

Zhong Min could see that Xu Ze was rejecting her, but she suddenly grabbed Xu Ze's hand. Then she leaned over to kiss him on Xu Ze's suddenly rounded pupils.

Just when Zhong Min's lips were about to touch Xu Ze, a strong force came from the side. Someone hurried over, grabbed Zhong Min's shoulder, and pulled him away.

Zhong Min didn't see who the other party was before her body was pulled aside. She stumbled several steps before she stabilized her body.

Turning her head, Zhong Min looked at Xu Ze and saw that Yang Yan stood over there at some point, holding Xu Ze firmly in his arms with one hand.

Zhong Min raised her eyes and met Yang Yan's cold and sharp gaze. Her heart skipped a beat.

So I had so many dreams this week. Unfortunately, I barely remember anything.

For one dream I remember a green crocodile/alligator and a white bunny. Another I remember feeling, and I mean feeling, something licking my face. I hope it was a dog and nothing else.

Other than those two, I remember the two more a lot more clearly.

So I was in a death tournament island. But I(my dream MC) was clueless and didn't know that. There were 3 rounds of elimination. I don't remember the first or third, but I remember chugging stats potions for the second round.

I was the winner obviously. I get to have one wish granted. There was also apparently a camera with a lot of audience watching. I asked to put it aside first to ask some questions.

I asked if I could get infinite wishes, they said no. I asked if I could get government protection for some reason, they also said no. Then I see a while cat/dog that I actually know was a dragon for some reason.

I then wished to become its owner and take him away. I got another no since the dragon had to stay here. I then wished to be its caretaker and also stay here.

Then the camera stopped recording as I became a personnel. I received a tour of the institution of the island. Then I was sent to my room. I also got to pet the dragon before it left.

I was left alone and felt excited as I rolled around in my bed. Then I looked left and saw a white, albino, top-less human. I think it was the dragon, but I don't remember what the head looked like.

Then suddenly, an outbreak happened. A creature came to me and I dealt with it. When I turned the dragon(?) was nowhere to be seen. I then wake up. This one had a weird yet followable plotline.

I was a blue ball? I think this was a game where I had to control myself moving around on floating platforms as I jumped/bounced on them. I was escaping from something, a large red ball(?), until I fought and defeated it near the end.

I remember one point where there were two doors that I had to choose to go through. However, one was locked and barred if I was slow. I had to reset the level and go there fast enough to enter. However, that red door was a trap. The other blue opened door was the right one.

I think there might have been a co-op part, but other than that, this is all I really remember about this really long dream.

The warmth from behind his back, the broad and firm chest of the other person, and the hands around his waist. These details, plus the fact that the two's bodies were lying close and tightly to one another, even if Xu Ze hadn't turned his head, he knew who suddenly appeared to prevent Zhong Min from kissing him.

Xu Ze blinked and he looked at Zhong Min's graceful face that was pushed a few meters away. In addition to shock, there seemed to be some fright on that face. It was obviously caused by Yang Yan who was behind Xu Ze.

Xu Ze struggled a little, his intentions were to have Yang Yan let him go. Although it was getting late, there were still quite a few pedestrians coming and going around here. Just in the moment that the three of them were standing here, there were already quite a few pedestrians staring at them with strange looks.

They wanted to know the reason. If it was a man and a woman hugging together, maybe everyone could understand it a bit better.

The current situation was that Yang Yan was holding him and both he and Yang Yan were men. Yang Yan was holding his waist and not his shoulders. No matter how you look at it, this way of hugging was not in a friend way. Xu Ze didn't want to be seen as a monkey, so he turned around and told Yang Yan, "Let go."

Xu Ze's tone couldn't be considered good. In his opinion, Zhong Min's appearance today was entirely because of Yang Yan. She was originally Yang Yan's pursuer, but for some unknown reason, she stopped pursuing Yang Yan. Now that she met him, it seemed that she was interested in him.

Originally, Xu Ze saw that Zhong Min was a girl so he still had a bit of a good impression of Zhong Min. At present, all those good feelings have all disappeared because of Zhong Min's sudden approach to kiss Xu Ze.

Yang Yan, this initiator, came out, so Xu Ze really couldn't give Yang Yan much good face.

In addition to what Zhong Min just said and the attitude she showed, it was no wonder that Xu Ze felt that Zhong Min's expression was somewhat familiar. He now understood. Zhong Min and another friend of Yang Yan, Xie Chengzhou, were somewhat similar.

He also knew what kind of people were around Yang Yan.

Xu Ze was amused in his heart. He remembered a certain phrase, birds of the same feathers flock together..

It seemed that Yang Yan was no exception here.

"She wanted to kiss you just now, why didn't you refuse?" Xu Ze asked him to let go, the spring in his soft peach blossom's eyes spreaded, revealing an uncomfortable coldness. Yang Yan not only did not let go, but hugged him even tighter. He questioned Xu Ze back and asked why Xu Ze stood still there, waiting for Zhong Min to come over to kiss him.

Xu Ze was already in a bad mood, then he was questioned by Yang Yan again, as if he had really done something unforgivable to Yang Yan.

What was the relationship between them? The cohabitation part was true, but them being lovers?

They do sleep together and occasionally help each other, but when did he become lovers with Yang Yan? Which caused Yang Yan to stare at him with the look like he had cheated and made him wear a green hat.

Xu Ze simply felt that there was nothing funnier than that.

He laughed out loud: "Yang Yan, what identity are you using to ask me this? Did you make a mistake of what kind of relationship we have?"

Yang Yan was originally waiting for Xu Ze to answer and explain to him, yet Xu Ze instead ran a few questions to him. And each question made Yang Yan's face look a bit uglier.

Blue veins appeared on the back of his hand and his eyes were terrifying at that moment.

"What did you say?" Yang Yan seemed to be gritting his teeth as he said this. The entire person seemed to be on the verge of anger.

Zhong Min over there on the side was stunned when she saw this scene. She was afraid in her heart just then, worried that he really angered Yang Yan and Yang Yan would do something to him. Yet in the end, Yang Yan and Xu Ze began to speak with thorns.

Zhong Min pursed her lips. She didn't go up for a while and stood aside to watch.

"I said, did you make a mistake somewhere! I am not your little lover, you better be clear about this point." Xu Ze didn't take turns with Yang Yan, directly putting these words out.

His words successfully froze Yang Yan's expression. Yang Yan's strength loosened a little, and then his arm was grabbed by Xu Ze and moved to the side.

Yang Yan wanted to reach out and embrace Xu Ze again, but Xu Ze turned his head and gave him a look of indifference to the extreme. That look gave Yang Yan a feeling that he was the superfluous person between Zhong Min and Xu Ze. The corner of Yang Yan's mouth ticked, as if he wanted to laugh, yet failed to.

He was still full of confidence just now. He didn't take Zhong Min seriously, feeling that Zhong Min couldn't be a threat to him. Indeed, his thought process was correct, but at the same time Yang Yan knew one thing. Maybe he knew it before, but he didn't admit it. Xu Ze's past love for him was probably already gone when they broke up. Xu Ze stayed by his side, cohabiting, and sleeping with him. However Xu Ze was more clear-headed than him, he used the child to make a deal with him.

The hand that Yang stretched out slowly fell and a desolation that had never existed arrived in his heart. He watched Xu Ze walk towards Zhong Min and then stood in front of her. The surprise on Zhong Min's face was replaced by joy because of Xu Ze's approach.

Seeing that smiling face, in Yang Yan's eyes, he only felt that it was very annoying. He clenched his fists hard, restraining the urge not to rush forward and act out.

"Zhong Min, I like men. No matter what you think of me, whether you're real or only wanted to play around, I'm sorry, but I won't accompany you. In addition, I'd like to thank you for liking me. Thank you." Xu Ze wasn't talking in a low voice, yet there happened to be a car passing by on the street beside him. Yang Yan only saw Xu Ze smiling at Zhong Min, smiling gently and affectionately.

Yang Yan's nails were almost embedded into the palm of his hand. The familiar piercing pain hit, yet he couldn't step forward to stop it. He was afraid that Xu Ze would say even colder words.

The smile at the corner of Zhong Min's mouth gradually couldn't hold up anymore. Her eyes slanted over Xu Ze's shoulder towards Yang Yan. She just heard the conversation between Xu Ze and Yang Yan and the content let her know the general situation. It could be seen that the relationship between the two seemed that the one taking the initiative was Yang Yan, while Xu Ze had an indifferent attitude and seemed to have little affection for Yang Yan.

"Did Yang Yan force you to be with him? If so, tell me and I will help you."

Zhong Min liked Xu Ze's face. She has never seen someone with a higher appearance than Xu Ze. Her desire to help Xu Ze came from her heart, which to her does not conflict with her desire to play around.

"You misunderstood. No one can force me. I am voluntarily together with Yang Yan. It's just that there are some matters inside, which probably is very different from a normal person's understanding."

Zhong Min frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but Xu Ze spoke again: "Thank you for driving me back. If you can, it's better if you don't find me again in the future."

Xu Ze didn't want to add any other interpersonal relationships. Besides the fact that he didn't want to spend time maintaining it, he also didn't want to accidentally let Zhong Min know one day that he was pregnant.

If Zhong Min was able to come to him directly, Xu Ze guessed that she must have specially investigated him. In Xu Ze's opinion, he didn't have the slightest heart to deal with such people.

Xu Ze's attitude couldn't be more obvious. Zhong Min felt that her personality was not that fragile. Yet in Xu Ze's gradually indifferent attitude and tone, she still felt a little hurt. This type of feeling has never been to her before.

What happened today caused Xu Ze's emotions to fluctuate quite a bit. He felt his stomach seemed a little uncomfortable, but in order not to let others notice, Xu Ze didn't put his hand on his stomach.

Turning around, Xu Ze walked into the community, ignoring Yang Yan who was standing on the side of the road after being ignored by him.

The light in Yang Yan's eyes seemed to have completely disappeared. His black pupils stared darkly at Xu Ze's figure that was gradually receding.

Zhong Min also watched Xu Ze on the side of the road for a while. After he walked into the community and turned a corner, Zhong Min shook her head and smiled helplessly. What she said, her hunch was quite accurate. She knew that Xu Ze had no feelings for her, unlike her who fell in love with Xu Ze's appearance in an instant. But Zhong Min wasn't too disappointed. If they couldn't be lovers, they could be friends. What she wanted was actually to be able to see Xu Ze's appearance from time to time. As for Xu Ze's orientation, Zhong Min didn't intend to really straighten it out. True homosexuality couldn't be straightened. Zhong Min wasn't to the point where she wasn't clear about this point.

Zhong Min tidied her hair. After being suddenly pushed by Yang Yan just then, her hair became a little messy. After tidying it up, Zhong Min walked towards Yang Yan.

She looked at Yang Yan. With Yang Yan's current expression, Zhong Min knew that Yang Yan really was serious this time.

In any case, she and Yang Yan could not be considered friends. The parents of the two families had a good relationship, but their relations as the juniors were normal. Seeing that Yang Yan was frustrated for the first time in the love scene, don't say it but Zhong Min actually thought it was quite strange.

"I don't have a chance anymore, but it seems that you, Yang Yan, don't seem to have much either!" Zhong Min said this intentionally in front of Yang Yan.

Yang Yan's eyes were dark. He stared at Zhong Min and it was only after a while that he replied, "You should be going."

Zhong Min looked at Yang Yan curiously. This person didn't seem to have such a personality before, not being the kind to bear insults. He was ridiculed by someone, yet that's all he did.

Was it because of Xu Ze?

"Yeah, it's getting quite late. Then see you in two days!" Zhong Min raised a smile.

"By the way, the matter that you promised last time. My birthday is coming and I invited you. I guess you won't anymore, right?"

The corners of Yang Yan's mouth were almost pursed into a straight line. He turned around and walked away quickly without replying to Zhong Min. Behind him, Zhong Min looked at Yang Yan's big tall figure and smiled even more happily.

Sigh, I pity Yang Yan. But I do like Zhong Min more. At least she isn't as big of a scum as Yang Yan.

So I had more dreams but remember none. I think I had a live-through-a-day dream again, but I'm not too sure. I do have a dream I remember clearly and wrote the key points down, but I'll be including that in the next chapter. I don't have enough time to write out every part of that dream.

I have a very bad habit of falling into rabbit holes.

Currently TLing Chapter: 29

When Yang Yan returned home, he didn't see Xu Ze in the living room. Yang Yan knew that Xu Ze had already returned to his room. He walked to the living room and sat on the sofa. On the coffee table was a cup of water, with the water inside being poured from this morning. After Yang Yan drank it in one go, the cold water fell all the way down the throat to his heart, as if it had drenched his heart cold.

Yang Yan bent his fingers then spread them again, only feeling a sense of powerlessness all over his body. That powerlessness bred another kind of violent feeling, as if he wanted to destroy and ruin something.

If it was said that there was a sleeping beast imprisoned in everyone's body, Yang Yan believed that the beast in his heart had already woken up and had started to roar, tearing at the iron bars that were imprisoning it with its sharp claws.

Yang Yan took a deep breath in. He couldn't let that beast out. He couldn't let it out to hurt people.

After sitting in the living room for a while, Yang Yan left and went upstairs. He slept with Xu Ze downstairs, but bathing and the likes were basically still done upstairs. After washing up on the second floor, Yang Yan went downstairs. Pushing open the door of Xu Ze's room, Xu Ze was leaning on the head of the bed and was reading a book. Sometimes when Xu Ze had nothing to do, he would read a book before going to bed.

It could be seen that what happened not long ago had little impact on Xu Ze, but instead had a great impact on Yang Yan.

Yang Yan walked over, lifted the quilt and sat on the bed. He stared at Xu Ze's profile for a long time with deep concentrated eyes. Although he said and did nothing, Yang Yan's gaze was so sharp that Xu Ze couldn't ignore its existence. Xu Ze closed the book as looked towards Yang Yan.

He was then stunned for a moment. In that moment Xu Ze wondered if he had seen it wrong, that he actually saw a sad expression on Yang Yan's face and even an expression that seemed to be asking for comfort.

Asking him for comfort?

As long as Yang Yan wanted, if he just waved his hand, there would be lovers sending themselves to his doorstep. It was Yang Yan who insisted on hanging onto this one tree, Xu Ze. Xu Ze actually didn't care much about whether Yang Yan would keep hanging till death or till broken.

Xu Ze indifferently turned his eyes away, took his phone and checked the time. It was almost eleven o'clock, about time to sleep. Putting the book on the bedside table, Xu Ze glanced at Yang Yan again before laying down. He didn't say anything, pulled the quilt over his chin, and then closed his eyes.

Yang Yan sat on the side and did not move. That was, he did not lie down and did not make a sound, being still like a statue. However, the dark gaze was still fixed on Xu Ze's face.

Xu Ze turned over and had the back of his head facing Yang Yan. Yang Yan's eyes flickered, his eyes were suppressing and restraining something.

Yang Yan extended his hand to turn off the light, then slowly lay down.

Xu Ze felt an arm fall over him, then that arm wrapping around him and hugging his body over. Following that was the warm breath approaching closer to his ear, then the person behind him dropping a shallow kiss on Xu Ze's ear.

In the darkness, Xu Ze opened his eyes which did not fluctuate at this action. After waiting and not seeing Yang Yan or any other changes, Xu Ze closed his eyes again.

What happened that night, no one took the initiative to mention it on the second day. The rest was like a small episode, not creating many ripples on the lake.

After the school exam was over, the results of each subject could be found on the computer. Everyone started to pack their things and go home for the New Year, though some would stay to do some part-time jobs or other things.

Xu Ze called his home and lied that he had to do a part-time job so he would return only after a while. His family members were indifferent and Xu Ze's phone call seemed to be more like reporting work. Not every parent loved their children that much. For some people, children for them were probably just a part of the job.

Xu Ze was originally a person with thin emotions. Adding the fact that these parents were not his real parents, he would not feel uncomfortable and hurt because of the other party not caring about him.

On the contrary, Xu Ze felt better about this kind of indifference, since this way they wouldn't notice that he was different from their original son. They also probably wouldn't notice that he was pregnant with a big belly.

During the school holiday, the students in the dormitory left basically at the same time. Xu Ze originally didn't live in the school at all. After leaving the school for the holiday, he never went to the school again.

The weather was getting colder and colder. If there were no special circumstances, Xu Ze would stay at home most of the time, reading books or watching TV. He still took a certain amount of time every day to go out for a walk.

Yang Yan seemed to be very busy recently, even sometimes he doesn't come back for several days. When he didn't come back, Xu Ze would fall into a silent, quiet state. Otherwise, there would be a pair of eyes staring at him at all times. Xu Ze having a cold heart did not mean that he had no heart. The staring would still have some influence.

Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, Xu Ze was about to leave and return to his hometown. He told Yang Yan the time he was leaving and Yang Yan nodded, expressing that he would drive Xu Ze to the high-speed rail station.

In the few days before he left, Yang Yan behaved normally. On the second to last day, Xu Ze saw it was very late and thought that Yang Yan would not come back. As a result, in the early morning, Xu Ze was awakened by the movement beside him.

When he opened his eyes, there was darkness around him.

Yet even in the dark, Xu Ze still met a pair of deep eyes, eyes like those of a beast's, staring at him. Xu Ze held his breath, because for a moment, he felt that the person beside him was not Yang Yan, but a beast in human skin. Xu Ze sensed a faintly dangerous aura floating in the air. A kind of biological instinct made Xu Ze at that moment choose to lie quietly and do nothing.

Xu Ze's quietness comforted Yang Yan's dry, pounding heart to a certain extent.

He originally thought that he didn't care about Xu Ze going back to his hometown, since he was only going back for about a week. Xu Ze would come back very soon. In the end, when Xu Ze was really about to leave, Yang Yan suddenly didn't want Xu Ze to leave.

He was thinking about whether his family would take good care of Xu Ze after he returned, and whether Xu Ze would tell his parents about his pregnancy. They definitely couldn't take care of Xu Ze as carefully as he did here.

Yang Yan hugged Xu Ze into his arms, not using much force. Xu Ze was bearing his child, so he was afraid of hurting the baby in Xu Ze's belly.

"Xu Ze, don't go back, okay?" Yang Yan hugged Xu Ze in the dark and said to Xu Ze in a tone that could be called a request.

Xu Ze blinked. Because the light was not turned on, Yang Yan couldn't see Xu Ze's expression at this time, unable to see the calmness and wavelessness in Xu Ze's eyes.

Silence spread between the two. It was clearly just a few seconds, yet Yang Yan only felt that a long time had passed.

"I have already bought the ticket and told my family that I will be going back tomorrow." Xu Ze's calm voice rang out.

Yang Yan curled his lips. The surrounding darkness concealed the loss in his eyes. He thought that he really drank too much, that he would ask Xu Ze to stay and celebrate the New Year with him.

How would it be possible? It was clearly impossible.

"I'm joking, I'll take you to the station tomorrow." Yang Yan found himself a step to go down.

Xu Ze made an "en" sound, wanting to close his eyes and continue to sleep, when Yang Yan leaned down.

Yang Yan had been drinking with someone at the bar before he returned. There was still a faint taste of alcohol in his mouth. When the two of them touched their lips and tongues, Xu Ze seemed to also have tasted a little bit of alcohol.

Probably because he woke up in the middle of sleep, after kissing for a while, Xu Ze felt that he seemed to be infected by Yang Yan's alcohol and felt a little drunk. He grabbed the clothes on Yang Yan's back as the fire gradually started burning in his body.

In this way, Xu Ze only fell back to sleep at two or three in the morning and slept until noon the next day, which caused him to miss breakfast.

After getting up and changing clothes to eat lunch, Aunt Dong knew that Xu Ze was returning home this afternoon, so she specially cooked a rich table of dishes. Everything was what Xu Ze liked to eat. Every time he missed breakfast, at noon Xu Ze would be so hungry that he ate two bowls of rice. If he was not afraid that eating too much will be bad for his stomach, Xu Ze would like to eat three bowls.

After eating, Xu Ze sat on the sofa to rest for a moment, while Yang Yan helped him take the suitcase out of his room and put it in the living room. Because he was only going back for about a week and not too long, not to mention he also had clothes at home, Xu Ze didn't take too many things with him.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Dong, Xu Ze went out the door with Yang Yan.

Driving all the way to the high-speed rail station, Yang Yan stopped the car outside the station. Before getting off the bus, Xu Ze turned his head and said to Yang Yan, "Just send me here, I'll just go in by myself." Xu Ze asked Yang Yan not to send him to the platform.

Yang Yan didn't say anything. He pushed open the door and got out of the car, took out Xu Ze's suitcase from the trunk, and pulled up the lever. Xu Ze walked over and picked up the suitcase.

"I'm leaving." Xu Ze and Yang Yan's dark gaze looked at each other. Just as he was about to turn around, Yang Yan's slightly hoarse voice rang out.

"Xu Ze…"

Stopping his foot, Xu Ze thought that Yang Yan would say something, but Yang Yan was silent for several seconds.

"Be careful on the road and give me a call when you get home." Yang Yan wanted to make sure Xu Ze got home safely.

"En, okay." Xu Ze could feel some emotion from Yang Yan's black eyes that were staring at him. This person was reluctant to let him leave and wanted him to stay.

"Then goodbye."

Xu Ze and Yang Yan smiled slightly. After saying goodbye, Xu Ze dragged his suitcase and walked into the station.

Yang Yan stood beside the car, watching Xu Ze's handsome back slowly melt into the crowd, and then was submerged by the crowd. He took two steps forward, as if trying to find the familiar figure among the crowded heads, but he couldn't find anything..

The sun was shining on Yang Yan's face. At that moment, he only felt that there was a small hole in his heart. The cold wind was going straight through it and he felt the coldness all over his body.

In the station, Xu Ze dragged his suitcase and took the escalator to the platform. There were still more than 20 minutes before the departure, since he arrived a little earlier to avoid temporary traffic jams on the road. However, he was quite lucky this day, only meeting a few red lights.

After finding a place, Xu Ze sat down, took out his phone and wore headphones to watch videos. After watching a few videos, it's almost time. There were already many people waiting at the platform entrance. After Xu Ze walked over, he did not push forward, but stood near the back.

There were a few people standing beside him. One of them was a woman holding a baby in her arms. The baby's face was tender and soft and when they noticed that Xu Ze was staring at them, they actually made "yiya" sounds. The woman thought there was something wrong with the child, so she hugged the child and coaxed for a while. Then the child opened their mouth and giggled. The voice was crisp and lovely and many surrounding passengers turned their heads to look at the child.

As a matter of fact, Xu Ze put his hand on his belly and a thought suddenly popped into his head. He wondered if the child in his belly would be born as cute as this little baby.

Yeah, I do wonder if Xu Ze would see how cute the child would be as it grows up. They would be so cute.

So two long dreams, one from last week and one from this week. But I only had time to write out last week's. I'm very bad at time management. This week's dream will be left for next week's chapter.

So another dream about a VR game, but this time it connects to reality.

It started with me looking at the rubbles of a city. Then it cut to a girl live streaming with her phone on another standing building. Then the girl turned into a giant and then walked to a place, where she was then preceded to be shot by multiple helicopters.

Then the girl turned small into human-sized and into a boy. I'm guessing it was a crossing dressing boy for whatever reason.

It then cuts back to me being hunted by a lot of people. Then I regressed in time. Very original, I know. I got stronger and helped free my friend at one point.

There was also a grading scale, with 10 as worst, then to 1. And then there were special + which were just +1 +2 +3, etc. Very weird system if I had to say so myself.

I entered a cavern that my friend entered in my previous life. I got some rewards for surviving the traps. I adventured for a while then my friend and I were chased down by top players and forced to fight in a battle. We were at grade 5 power and my friend was also the one that's most heavily hunted down by other people.

I returned to the cavern and talked to the dragon(?) owner dude that was definitely always there. He allowed me to capture 5 of what he considered grade 2 power black armored servants into my magic missile. It's like pokemon now I guess? I replied with in the outside world they were closer to special +2.

My friend entered the bottom of the cavern that was always there, with the hunting group behind him. I exited the room and my pet, that I always had, told me that my friend was right below me.

I used a skill that broke the floor and the rubbles killed everyone. My friend was still alive under the rubbles and asked me to pull him out, but I couldn't because I lost my entire lower body.

That was a roller coaster.

Anyways, I used an event item that I stack a lot on, which were 98987 of [Springs], which heals me for 10 of everything, health, mana, fatigue, etc.I healed myself and helped my friend. We exited the cavern and my friend got a new class, [Freedom warrior].

I say that's the worst class, with the worst buffs, because it required 3 items to activate and my friend only had two. I, the character me not the omnipotent me, also did not know that this would be very helpful in the future.

Then a huge time skip happened. My friend was giant again. I say again because he was that girl changing into giant then boy in the beginning of the dream. I am just as confused.

So this time, no one was attacking him. My other friend, who was actually a girl, asked me if he'll be fine and I said probably.

A flashback happened. It was my male friend training on the treadmill with me and the female friend telling him to push onwards, until we went too far. His head became empty with nothing but training after we left him for a while. I then helped him return to normal but lingering effects were still there.

I then woke up. I don't know what really happened, but things certainly did happen. I think I made the crossdressing guy from my last life into a dumb himbo in this life. Not really complaining though.

During the short time waiting for the train, Xu Ze glanced at the little baby several times.

The train began to check tickets and the passengers in the queue slowly moved forward.

Taking the escalator and going downstairs, the ticket information was sent to his phone. Xu Ze dragged the luggage in one hand and held his phone in the other, comparing the numbers to find his section of the carriage.

After getting on the train, he looked for his seat from the back to the front. After finding it, Xu Ze sat on as he put his suitcase under the iron frame. He especially bought the seat against the window, so this way he doesn't have to get up to let another person in later.

The train departed very soon. Compared to most of the travelers returning home, Xu Ze didn't feel much of anything. For him, coming home for the New Year was almost like completing a task.

The train took more than an hour to arrive at Xu Ze's hometown. When he got off the train, Xu Ze did not go to the bus station, but went outside and called a taxi. After buying the apartment, he still had a couple hundred thousands left of the money Yang Yan gave him. Xu Ze lived at Yang Yan's place so Yang Yan took care of all the expenses. It could be said that Xu Ze spent very little time spending his money to buy things.

Getting into the car taking home, the scenery outside the car window was both familiar and unfamiliar to Xu Ze. Familiar because he had the original host's memory, unfamiliar because it's his first time coming to this city.

Xu Ze called his mother and said that he would be home soon. The voice over there was calm and flat, unable to hear any excitement. The original host's mother was very restrained in her personal feelings. In the original host's memory, it seemed that he had never seen his mother excited.

When the car arrived home, Xu Ze made payment with his phone. He quickly stood in front of a dark iron door. With his suitcase in his hand, he opened the door with a key. A woman was sitting in the living room. The woman turned her head when she heard the door open and saw her son appear. With the expression on her face at that time, those who didn't know would think that she had nothing to do with Xu Ze.

Xu Ze entered the house and called the woman, "Mom!"

"You're back?"It was only at this moment that the mother slowly got up. She looked at Xu Ze, with her eyes as indifferent as if she was looking at a stranger.

"En, Dad isn't at home?" Xu Ze looked around the room and then asked.

"He went to your third uncle's house. Your cousin got married so he went to help." The mother replied.

Xu Ze nodded, the corner of his mouth smiled lightly: "I'll go and put my luggage first." After saying that, Xu Ze walked to his bedroom. After entering, he subconsciously wanted to close the door with his backhand but temporarily stopped himself. The sound of the TV came from the living room with his mother sitting and continuing to watch TV.

Putting his suitcase on the floor, Xu Ze didn't take out the clothes inside immediately, but took his phone out and dialed a number.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Yan had been waiting for this call all this time. He knew that Xu Ze should arrive home at about this time. The wait was not actually long, but in his opinion, every minute seemed to feel infinitely long.

"I arrived home." Xu Ze said in a low voice as soon as the phone was connected. It was in a low voice because he didn't want his mother outside to hear him calling Yang Yan.

"Okay, remember to wear more. The temperature by your house is lower than here so try to put on a scarf when you go out…" After Yang Yan warned a few words, the voice suddenly stopped. He realized that he was talking too much. Xu Ze was not a child. He doesn't need him to mention these.

There was a period of silence on both sides at the same time. Xu Ze stood by the bedroom window and he looked out into the black void outside it.

"I will pay attention." Xu Ze's tone didn't fluctuate even the slightest.

"I will hang up first. I still have to clean up my room."

The words "don't tire yourself out" just rolled on the tip of Yang Yan's tongue, yet in the next moment he swallowed it back.

As the call ended, Yang Yan was clutching the phone. This was only the first day Xu Ze went back home, yet on this first day, he felt his heart was so empty that he wanted to immediately drive to see Xu Ze. The corner of Yang Yan's lips raised up as he self-deprecatingly shook his head and smiled

When he went back that day, Xu Ze called Yang Yan, but afterwards he didn't take any initiative to contact Yang Yan. Yang Yan on the other hand wanted to hear Xu Ze's voice every day. It's just that he didn't know what he should say to Xu Ze if he called. Should he ask Xu Ze what he ate? Or what he did?

And so, Yang Yan also worked hard to restrain the urge to contact Xu Ze.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival arrived. Xu Ze's family also bought the Spring Festival couplets. He stood on the stool with the Spring Festival couplets and stuck them on the door. After sticking them down, his body shook and he grabbed the wall in time to prevent himself from falling. However, because the movement range was a little big at that time, when Xu Ze returned to the house, his stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

His parents still didn't know that he was pregnant with a child. Xu Ze had controlled his expression and didn't let them find out.

In the evening, a family of three sat at the dinner table for New Year's Eve dinner. It originally should have been a happy event, yet there were not many smiles on their faces. The parents were used to being serious and they seemed to be emotionally restrained at all times. The food was delicious, but Xu Ze didn't have much appetite. After eating a little, he said he was full.

Xu Ze went back to his room. Someone was setting off fireworks outside the window so the night sky was lit up from time to time. The beautiful fireworks were blooming. That kind of beauty was extremely beautiful, yet it was also fleeting.

Outside his room, his parents sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala. There was laughter and celebration on the TV. Xu Ze listened to those sounds yet he could not feel any joy. He put his hand on his belly. The baby inside seemed to be asleep since there was no movement.

It's quite strange to think that he, a man, was actually pregnant. Xu Ze slowly exposed a smile.

It seemed that more and more people were setting off fireworks. There were sounds of fireworks exploding everywhere. Since it was not early nor was Xu Ze feeling sleepy, Xu Ze walked out of the room.

He notified his parents, "I am going outside to watch the fireworks."

The parents nodded and their gazes returned to the TV. Even if there were people in this room, it seemed deserted and cold. Xu Ze had no expectations or feelings for this place in his heart.

Walking to the door, Xu Ze changed his shoes. When he opened the door, Xu Ze seemed to remember something. He turned around and went back to his room, where he found a scarf for his neck. As soon as the scarf was put on, his whole neck seemed to warm up immediately.

Opening the door and walking out, Xu Ze took the elevator downstairs.

There were many pedestrians on the street, especially children. The children were running around and making noise. When he got outside, it seemed that the atmosphere of the festival instantly became stronger. A child was holding a firework that was burning. They were holding them in their hands as they watched the burning fireworks. Xu Ze walked forward slowly.

He had no destination in mind, just walking around casually.

Walking to the edge of a square, there were happy voices everywhere. Those voices slowly infected Xu Ze, making Xu Ze's face to also begin to have a smile.

There were children running around Xu Ze. A child ran into Xu Ze, which Xu Ze then consoled the other party. The child said sorry, turned their head and ran away. The lively figures of the children shuttled through the crowd.

In a few months, the baby in his womb should be born. He should also be as lively as these children. As for him, of course, he couldn't accompany the child, nor would he accompany a certain person.

After standing by the square for more than half an hour, Xu Ze turned around and walked back.

All the way back, what he saw was people coming out of their homes. Xu Ze was walking in the opposite direction from several people .

When he arrived downstairs of the home, Xu Ze stopped for a moment.

Just as he was walking forward, Xu Ze suddenly noticed a tall, upright figure standing under a street lamp. If Xu Ze hadn't glanced over there by chance, he probably wouldn't have spotted that person at all.

Xu Ze was stunned for a moment. Looking closer, his eyes indeed did not see wrong. It was really Yang Yan. This person actually came to him instead of accompanying his family at home on New Year's Eve.

Xu Ze stood on the spot. The person under the street light knew that Xu Ze saw him, but he didn't move immediately/ He just looked at Xu Ze from a distance. The two stared at each other across the crowd.

Later, it was Xu Ze who moved first. He walked to the front of Yang Yan. When he got closer, he could see the other party's face more clearly. Yang Yan's eyes were deep and dark, staring at Xu Ze with a torching gaze.

Xu Ze's heart suddenly fluctuated a little, because of the matter that Yang Yan came to see him this late night.

"Happy New Year, Yang Yan!" Xu Ze didn't ask why Yang Yan came. He knew that reason. He didn't know when it started, but this person liked him and he seemed to even like him very much.

Xu Ze's peach blossom eyes were filled with a mesmerizing smile. Yang Yan stared intently without looking away.

After a good while, Yang Yan's low voice came out: "Happy New Year!"

It's just a few simple words, yet Yang Yan suddenly felt its weight.

There was a child running by while laughing and smiling. Both of their eyes went over. Yang Yan's eyes were pulled back first. He looked down at the abdomen covered by Xu Ze's down jacket. This time of next year, he thought, between them there would be one more baby. As soon as this thought came together, Yang Yan couldn't help stepping forward. He reached out to hold Xu Ze's hand. Xu Ze's hand was placed in the pocket of his clothes, so it was quite warm. This warmth continued up his arm and into his cold lonely heart, which seemed to also warm up in an instant.

Yang Yan raised his eyes and looked at Xu Ze. There were pedestrians on the street, yet Yang Yan didn't care and kissed Xu Ze's lips.

Author has something to say:

Mini Theater: Yang Yan would be very excited even if he just thought about the fact that he would be able to spend the Spring Festival with his wife and child next year!

And then next year, Yang Yan only had a little baby in his arms. His wife ran away, hahahahaha. It was truly miserable.

After the new year, the birth will come. I will arrange the plot at my own pace. Because he will run away after giving birth, and there will be no confinement at all. Why not, you guys take a guess! He's not leaving though. Look at me making things up. Happy!

The author's note is so funny right? God they're such a good jokester!

First I was out in the streets. I walked by a game stand and I wanted to play. After I paid, I was teleported to a black colored room with a white door. I opened the door to see a spiraling staircase with more doors as it went down.

I walked down and down as I suddenly felt like something was chasing me from up the staircase. I tried to open the doors to see that some were locked while others had creatures inside. With one creature, I cut off its hand with the door and slammed it close.

Another door contained darkness. It was like a black goo that tried to spread everywhere. Unfortunately this wasn't Goo from my previous dream. This creature was just pure darkness. I felt that it was trying to devour everything, including me.

Anyways, I had to run. It did kill the thing that was chasing me, but the darkness was now the one chasing me now. I tried to open doors to slow dark down with the monsters, which worked a little but not too much.

I began to just slide down by the railings until I reached the bottom. I opened the last door and a hallway greeted me. I rushed forward and saw three doors, one front, one left, and one right. I opened the right door and rushed in because the darkness was still chasing me.

After entering, there were a lot of doors to the left and a door at the end. None of the doors on the left could open so I went for the last door to find it's also locked. The darkness was right behind so I dodged to the side. Then for no reason at all. There was an explosion and the door opened.

I went in and saw three clown puppets in the room. There was also a broken table. The thought of breaking their ankle came to my mind, like it was an instruction or something. I broke all three clown puppets' ankles with a wooden table leg then a black hole opened.

The darkness burst in and I threw the stick at the darkness before jumping in. Then it was like a slide. I slid for a while until I reached the end.

I was laying down in a half slide tube and saw the game accountant standing over me. They congratulated me for my success. I was then told I had 1056 points to pick from the prize. I looked at the prize list with images. I saw those were mostly just toys like water guns, there was even a hello kitty one.

While I was undecided on the prize, one of my IRL friends appeared in my dream. They came up and told the game worker they wanted to play too. They paid and the POV changed to theirs in first person. If I had to summarize things, they were a pro. If what I did was a 2/10, they were definitely a 10/10.

First they rushed through everything like a pro. They opened every door on the spiral staircase doors with force. One had a secret room that she went through. This was of course while the darkness was chasing them.

When they reached the hallway with three doors, they went to the front door which was basically a turning hallway that led to the left door. After blazing through those, my friend went to the right rooms through a hidden passage. They opened all the doors and then did the same as me.

When they finished sliding down the slide, they were told they had 10000 points and the game workers were finally set free. Then my friend and I left in their car.

I don't remember the rest, aka the other 2 thirds of my dream. I think I went to a magic academy and tamed a dragon, but I'm not too sure. I feel like I did some cool things.

The matter of leaning over to kiss Xu Ze, Yang Yan only thought about it in his heart and wouldn't put it into action. There were people coming and going around them. Although the two of them were not standing in the middle of the road, in the short moment that Yang Yan pulled Xu Ze's hand, there were already pedestrians on the road that noticed them.

Although Yang Yan missed the warmth of Xu Ze's skin, he still slowly released his hand.

He had stood on the side of the road for a long time. When Xu Ze appeared from a distance, he had noticed Xu Ze in advance.

Originally, Yang Yan was spending the New Year at home with his family, but his heart could not calm down. It was like when Xu Ze left, his heart also left together with Xu Ze and the baby in his womb.

At that time, Yang Yan didn't think about anything, only wanting to see Xu Ze. Or, even just going to Xu Ze's hometown, then standing downstairs at Xu Ze's house just to have a look was completely fine.

What surprised Yang Yan was that Xu Ze would actually go out alone at this time. When the tall handsome figure appeared in his sight, Yang Yan heard the rapid beating of his heart. His pair of eyes were fixated on Xu Ze until Xu Ze walked in front of him. Until Xu Ze found him.

Logically speaking, it was already an unexpected surprise to be able to see Xu Ze like this. Yang Yan didn't come in vain this time.

He should be satisfied. Yang Yan thought that it should be like this. However, it seemed that human beings were a kind of creature that was difficult to be satisfied.

Yang Yan found that he couldn't be satisfied just by looking at Xu Ze like this. When he was satisfied with a little, bigger desires were born.

In those desires, he wanted to hug Xu Ze, but not in the current way where there was a distance between them. That tiny distance gave Yang Yan a misconception as if Xu Ze was far away from him.

Yang Yan didn't speak, yet the thoughts in his heart were completely exposed in his eyes that were focused on Xu Ze. Xu Ze could see it all clearly.

This person, on the night of New Year's Eve, did not accompany his family but drove here alone to see him this late at night. Xu Ze believed that if he didn't want to come out to watch the fireworks on a whim, maybe he wouldn't have ever known that Yang Yan would appear downstairs.

Just because of Yang Yan's accidental appearance tonight, Xu Ze's heart was cold, however, it's not like he didn't have one.

Though him being moved, was only for an instant.

Suddenly Xu Ze felt a little warmer in his heart. Not mentioning the past and just based on now, Xu Ze was a tiny bit happy when he saw Yang Yan appear.

Compared to his indifferent family and environment, Yang Yan's eyes were much warmer. The temperature in Yang Yan's palm also made Xu Ze feel warm.

"Did you bring your ID card?" Xu Ze asked a strange question.

Yang Yan came here by car. Naturally, he would bring his ID card with him at all times. Although he didn't know why Xu Ze asked this, he still nodded, "Brought it."

As he tightly followed Xu Ze, Xu Ze suddenly looked down at his phone's time. It was around 10:20 and it was not too late. When it's 12:00, it could be guessed that many people would be paying their fidelity. Even if he went back to sleep at this time, he might be woken up soon after by the noise.

Xu Ze raised his head. Under the streetlamp, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with a thin mist, looking soft and charming.

"Then let's go." Xu Ze said with a shallow smile.

Yang Yan frowned slightly and wanted to ask Xu Ze where they were going, but Xu Ze had already turned around and walked onwards.

Yang Yan stood in place for a while, before his long legs chased after Xu Ze in a few steps.

This direction was not where Xu Ze's family lived and even went farther and farther away from Xu Ze's home. The confusion in Yang Yan's heart received an explanation a few minutes later.

Because Xu Ze took him to the front of a small hotel. Of course, there was a starred hotel here, just that it was a little far away so they might have to take a taxi to go there. Anyway, they would only take some time and he would leave after they were done, so Xu Ze did not want to go too far.

Entering the small hotel, Xu Ze motioned for Yang Yan to take out his ID card and open a room. If Yang Yan was still confused before, now he basically understood Xu Ze's intention. Yang Yan paid to open a room.

There was no elevator in the small hotel, so the two took the stairs to go upstairs. Originally, the front desk asked Xu Ze to also show his identity, but Xu Ze said that he was only here to send his friend and would leave after a while.

The two walked up the stairs. Xu Ze walked in front while Yang Yan walked behind him. The stairs were a bit steep, so Yang Yan constantly paid attention to Xu Ze with a deep expression, as if he was worried that Xu Ze would have any mishaps.

When they got to the room, Xu Ze walked to the window. This was the third floor. Standing by the window, he could see people setting off fireworks from time to time. There was an air conditioner in the room and Yang Yan turned it on. Then he came behind Xu Ze and got close since it was just the two of them here. Yang Yan seemed to smell the fragrance from Xu Ze's hair. That scent was faint yet refreshing to the heart.

Yang Yan felt a little drunk. He clasped Xu Ze's shoulders and pulled his body over. Facing Xu Ze's charming and smiling peach blossom eyes, Yang Yan's self-control was exhausted. He leaned forward and kissed Xu Ze.

It had only been a few days since they were separated. Yet in these past few days, Yang Yan always had varying degrees of insomnia at night. Occasionally, he would even wake up in the middle of the night. He would subconsciously reach out and touch the area to his side. Naturally, he touched nothing but air.

The smoking addiction that he originally had quit for a while seemed to have relapsed in the past few days. Yang Yan took out a cigarette and lit it, but only smelled it and did not smoke. If he smoked right now, then when Xu Ze comes back, he would have to quit it again.

However, the smoking addiction and the emptiness hit him together. Yang Yan's emotions became more violent day by day. Fortunately, after coming to see Xu Ze, Xu Ze did not reject him. If Xu Ze saw him at the time, yet pretended not to see him, and then turned to leave, Yang Yan thought that the beast in his heart would've broken through the iron fence and run out.

Xu Ze's lips were very soft. As Yang Yan kissed, he clasped Xu Ze's body tightly and sucked with his strength.

Without his eyes closed, a strong spring color floated onto Xu Ze's peach blossom eyes. His eyes dyed with a smile, staring at the person who was in front of him and hugging him. While interacting and tangling with the other party's tongue and lips, the tingling sensation on the tip of the tongue hit. Xu Ze found that he was sinking into Yang Yan's fierce offensive, yet seemed to be watching coldly from the sidelines.

The him that was cold-eyed suddenly felt that Yang Yan was a little pitiful.

This person had personal conditions that countless people envied and had enormous wealth. He clearly used to be a promiscuous person, yet now Yang Yan surprisingly planted himself onto him.

As for Xu Ze himself, he admitted that he was somewhat touched by these actions from Yang Yan. However, it was only touched.

Xu Ze only felt that Yang Yan was really pitiful.

Was he still thinking that after the child was born, their family of three would live happily together?

That was impossible!

Xu Ze raised his hand and wrapped his arms around Yang Yan's broad and strong back. Xu Ze has always known the kind of person he was. He has also always been clear about what he wanted.

He was extremely good at controlling his emotions. He won't become emotionally out of control because he traveled to a different world, let alone for someone like Yang Yan.

Yang Yan was indeed very talented. The so-called prodigal son couldn't change for money, so it could be said that the current Yang Yan would be regarded as a good man.

Xu Ze slowly closed his eyes, letting Yang Yan carry him, and walked towards the bed. His body fell onto the bed as a black shadow covered him.

Xu Ze wondered why he didn't realize it before, that being liked by someone was this feeling. That manipulating another person's feelings was actually quite interesting.

Yang Yan took off the scarf wrapped around Xu Ze's neck. It had been more than half an hour since it was just put on.

Xu Ze buttoned his down jacket as he stood in the center of the room. Yang Yan also got up, using an indescribable expression to stare at Xu Ze.

Xu Ze smiled lightly: "I have to go back, otherwise my parents will ask me what I am doing outside. They don't like me spending the night outside casually."

Yang Yan's lips moved slightly. After a good while, he also got up.

"I'll send you back."

"No need, it's a few blocks away. No need to send me off." Xu Ze walked to the door. When the door opened, he turned his head around and said another sentence, "Go back early tomorrow. It's more suitable to be with your family during the New Year."

Yang Yan wanted to tell Xu Ze that you and the baby are my family. Yet before he could say this, Xu Ze had already opened the door and walked out.

The door closed in front of Yang Yan's eyes. Yang Yan stared at the door with a cold face before he walked to the window. He stood by the window and saw Xu Ze walking out of the small hotel. His gaze stayed on Xu Ze until his figure disappeared into the night. Yang Yan still stood there without moving.

There was clearly some sort of undissipated aura in the room. The emptiness in Yang Yan's heart reappeared dozens of minutes after being filled. The reappeared emptiness even became stronger.

After staying in his hometown for more than a week, Xu Ze left early on the grounds of his part-time job. His parents didn't seem to have any doubts about Xu Ze's words. Perhaps because in their eyes, Xu Ze had been very obedient from childhood to now, he has never made them worried.

When he was leaving home, his mother suddenly said to Xu Ze, "You still have to take good care of yourself at school." She said caring words using a cold tone, which only gave people the feeling of it being business-like.

Xu Ze nodded: "En."

Carrying his suitcase and leaving on the high-speed train, Xu Ze contacted Yang Yan the day before. Yet, as a result, Yang Yan had some matters to deal with that day and was unable to pick up Xu Ze at the station. After Xu Ze got out of the car, he took a taxi by himself.

He had been pregnant for almost five months so Xu Ze's belly looked like a small watermelon. Sitting in the car, Xu Ze put his hands on his belly. The baby right now was not asleep. He was like a little fish swimming quietly inside. Occasionally when he became playful, he would blow a few bubbles. Xu Ze stared at his stomach, eyebrows becoming gentle to the extreme.

When he got home, Auntie Dong was already there. She helped drag the suitcase to the bedroom. Xu Ze said a belated Happy New Year to Auntie Dong after she came out of the bedroom. Auntie Dong smiled very lovingly. In Auntie Dong's eyes, she treated Xu Ze as a junior.

Xu Ze had been in the car for several hours so he didn't unpack his luggage immediately. He first went to his room to change into comfortable clothes, and then sat down on the living room sofa to rest.

Auntie Dong seemed to suddenly remember something after done being busy. She came to Xu Ze and said to him, "Xiao Yang renovated that room downstairs and made it into a baby room. While you were home during the New Year, he called people to work on it. Now that it's done, Xu Ze, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Baby room? Xu Ze was particularly surprised at that time. He completely didn't think about this problem at all. This was because for him, after giving birth to the child, he wouldn't continue to live here. He never thought that Yang Yan had already begun preparing these things.

"By the way, when you went to the hospital for the examination, did you see whether the baby was a boy or a girl?" When Auntie Dong brought Xu Ze to the baby's room, she turned around and asked Xu Ze.

The closed-door was pushed open in front of Xu Ze's eyes. The devices in the room made Xu Ze's eyes slightly widen.

Without hearing what Auntie Dong was saying, Xu Ze walked into the baby room.

Whatever Xu Ze could think of, Yang Yan had someone prepare it. A small crib and a large nanny bed next to it, a soft carpet on the ground, and many dolls and toys. There was a large wardrobe, so Xu Ze walked to the front of it and opened it. There were many small baby clothes neatly arranged.

He took one out and put it in his hand. The clothes were soft and definitely weren't cheap at first glance. Xu Ze blinked his eyes to see that these things in front of his eyes were indeed real.

Auntie Dong also walked into the room and talked to Xu Ze. She had given birth to a child before so she had been where Xu Ze was right now. She told Xu Ze many things about babies. Xu Ze pursed his lips lightly, wanting to interrupt Auntie Dong. The words reach the edge of his mouth, yet he never said them.

Walking out of the baby room, Xu Ze slowly exhaled. He went back to his room on the grounds that he was a little sleepy.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xu Ze lowered his eyes and stared at his bulging belly. Xu Ze said in his heart to the baby, "It seems that your father will love you very much."

The baby was sleeping, lying inside quietly.

Aw~ Isn't this so cute? So glad the dogblood is all over and only fluffy and cuteness remains!

Just 2 more split chapters until Chapter 31, the one where the baby will finally be born. So close yet so far.

Also, I'm removing the Unedited thing, since I still sort of edited it. I'll just only put up Edited if another person checked it.

Anyways, two very short dreams this week:

So there were lizards involved, which might be because of the nature doc I watched. The focus, however, was more… mature or scientific to put it in a better term. Since this is about science, I don't think I need to age restrict this. But I still won't say much just to be safe.

There are two parts that I remember vividly. One is my hands feeling warm and covered with liquids, and the other being lizard reproductive organs.

I remember basically nothing else, or that I have already purged them from my mind.

I have two guesses of what the dream actually was. Either I was dissecting the lizards and feeling their blood, or the other r18 version.

I don't like either option. I think I need help.

I don't really remember much about this one. There were Pokémon elements involved somehow, like catching things. There was also Midas in my dream, don't know why. I think I had the golden touch, though I didn't turn anyone into gold.

Currently TLing Chapter: 30

Knowing that Xu Ze returned home, Yang Yan quickly drove back after eating dinner that night. As soon as he opened the door and found that there was no one in the living room, Yang Yan's heart felt empty. Then Auntie Dong came out and told Yang Yan that Xu Ze was reading in his room.

Yang Yan nodded, then opened the door of Xu Ze's bedroom.

Three days have passed since the last night they met, yet Yang Yan seemed to feel that it was not only three days, but three months or even longer.

He walked into the room and to the front of Xu Ze.

Xu Ze put down the book as he raised his head to look at Yang Yan. The expression in this person's eyes seemed to be getting stronger day by day. The tide seemed as if it wanted to drown someone.

Xu Ze curled his lips and smiled: "I went to see the baby room. It's pretty good, the baby will definitely like it."

Yang Yan's eyes flickered as he said, "In two days let's go to the hospital for another checkup." Because of New Year, the monthly obstetric checkup was postponed. Now that Xu Ze was back, they should go to check it out.

"Okay." Xu Ze naturally had no objection.

He put the book aside since Yang Yan was here. Xu Ze couldn't just ignore the person and continue to read his book.

"With this situation of mine, I'll probably have a c-section. I wonder where the cut will be made?" Xu Ze had never said these words to Yang Yan before. While he talked, the coldness in his eyes was much less. It seemed that after the Chinese New Year, Xu Ze had changed a bit.

"I will hire the best obstetrician." Yang Yan's gaze was heavy.

"In terms of time, it probably will be in mid-July. I always feel that it may affect the exam."

Xu Ze seemed to be in a good mood today and talked a lot more than before.

"I will handle the problem of the exam. Even if you don't go to take the exam, you won't fail." Although their school was an institution of higher learning, it's not like there weren't some hidden operations.

Yang Yan's answer didn't surprise Xu Ze. He knew that with Yang Yan's power, he could do these things.

But it was enough for him to take Yang Yan's money. He didn't need Yang Yan to do this for him again.

"No need, at most I'll stay back a grade. School life is quite interesting. If I can stay for one more year, then I'll just stay here longer." Xu Ze said with a slight smile.

Seeing the overflowing, warm smile on Xu Ze's face, Yang Yan nodded. Xu Ze could do whatever he wanted to, he would always satisfy Xu Ze.

A few days later, Yang Yan drove Xu Ze to the hospital for the obstetric checkup. Compared with the last time he saw it, the baby on the screen seemed to be bigger. The outline of the whole body was particularly obvious. They could even see that the baby was awake during the color Doppler ultrasound. The baby was gently kicking his legs in Xu Ze's belly.

Xu Ze felt the subtle little movements. Just like Yang Yan, he was staring at the screen.

Recently, Xu Ze's abdominal pain has been significantly less. His body was healthy so the baby was also healthy.

After the inspection, the two returned.

Yang Yan called Auntie Dong in advance and said that they would not go home for dinner tonight, but would eat outside.

The car was driving on the road. Yang Yan knew that a newly opened restaurant's mushroom soup pot was okay. He had eaten it with the people in his family during New Year.

At that time, he thought that after Xu Ze came back, he would take Xu Ze to eat it too.

When they went there, the store was doing very well. It was almost full of people, so they still needed to wait a while until there was an empty seat. Yang Yan asked Xu Ze what he wanted to do. Xu Ze smelled the fragrance of the soup floating in the air. It was still early anyway, so it didn't matter if they waited.

The two sat in the resting area and waited. It should be said that it was quite a coincidence since after waiting for a few minutes, they actually saw an acquaintance.

Xie Chengzhou and Jiang Li came to the restaurant together to eat.

When the two of them saw Yang Yan and Xu Ze, the four expressions were practically the same. They obviously didn't expect to meet here.

Everyone knew one another. So naturally, since they arrived at the same restaurant, they definitely would be seated together.

As soon as Xie Chengzhou saw Xu Ze, he basically ignored Jiang Li who was following him. Xie Chenzhou walked over and sat beside Xu Ze, staring at Xu Ze without blinking.

"Xu Ze, when did you come back ?" Xie Chengzhou also knew about Xu Ze's return to his hometown for the New Year. However it wasn't that he deliberately asked about it, but because of Yang Yan. After Xu Ze left, the state expressed by Yang Yan's entire personality was as if something important had left.

Speaking of which, after Xu Ze left early from the previous picnic that was halfway on the mountain, Xie Chengzhou thought about things carefully after returning to his home. Although he still liked Xu Ze, at the same time, he could see clearly that Xu Ze didn't have even a sliver of interest in him. Even if it was Yang Yan who was living with Xu Ze, the gaze Xu Ze had while looking at Yang Yan was the same as when he looked at other people.

Yet, Yang Yan still shoved himself deeper.

Since even Yang Yan's heart could be captured by Xu Ze, Xie Chengzhou thought that maybe he was no exception.

He should hurry up and extract himself while he could. He still doesn't want to touch this thing called love yet.

After that, under Xie Chengzhou's intentional control, he did not seek Xu Ze's matters nor did he care about the situation between Xu Ze and Yang Yan. Gradually, that kind of interest where it was his willingness to win over Xu Ze also faded.

As for Jiang Li, Xu Ze's stand-in that he found, Xie Chengzhou originally planned to give him some money and then let him leave. However, if Jiang Li left, he still might have to find someone later. The new one wasn't as easy to use as the old one, not to mention that Jiang Li was docile and untroublesome. Xie Chengzhou thought about letting Jiang Li continue to accompany him. Even after Jiang Li graduated, if Jiang Li was still as obedient as he was now, Xie Chengzhou would find a good job for Jiang Li.

But however you say it, a substitute was a substitute. A substitute could not be compared with the original.

Once the original appeared, Xie Chengzhou's eyes basically could no longer see the substitute.

Facing Xie Chengzhou's question, Xu Ze's smile was very shallow. His attitude was similar to before, neither cold nor indifferent.

"Just a few days back." After saying this, Xu Ze looked over to Jiang Li who was standing behind Xie Chengzhou.

If it was changed to someone else, their heart would probably be uncomfortable seeing their gold owner have their eyes filled with another person right in front of them.

The former Jiang Li was indeed a little uncomfortable. However, after he met Xu Ze, he could understand very well why Xie Chengzhou would like Xu Ze.

Because even he was captured by Xu Ze's good looks and unique temperament the first time he saw Xu Ze.

While Xie Chengzhou was staring at Xu Ze, Jiang Li's situation was basically the same as Xie Chengzhou.

If he hadn't cared about his identity, he might have also rushed in front of Xu Ze.

Seeing Xu Ze suddenly looking up at him, Jiang Li felt happy but also worried that others would see that he liked Xu Ze. Jiang Li controlled the emotions on his face.

"Jiang Li, I still haven't thanked you for the last time when you called someone to help me."

"Thank you."

Xu Ze suddenly remembered this matter after seeing Jiang Li.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up slightly. His fingers bent and his heart was happy because Xu Ze remembered his name only after seeing him once.

"No need for thanks, it's good that you're okay." Jiang Li shook his head and revealed a smile. The smile this time seemed even more real and sincere than when he was facing Xie Chengzhou.

Xie Chengzhou frowned slightly. Why didn't he find out before that the substitute lover he found actually also liked the person he liked to look at?

This was actually the first time he saw a situation like this.

Xie Chengzhou's gaze was strange. Jiang Li glanced over and his heart froze for a moment. The other party's eyes were sharp as if he could see through Jiang Li's little thoughts in an instant. Jiang Li hurriedly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xu Ze again.

The atmosphere by the people here seemed weird. As a bystander, Yang Yan, who had been silent all this time, vaguely noticed some situations. He was quite surprised. The courage of this lover Xie Chengzhou had found was actually not small.

However, Yang Yan didn't put this person called Jiang Li into his eyes at all. This person didn't even have the qualifications to be his love rival.

Someone in the restaurant had finished eating so they checked out and left. The waiter came over to inform people that there was a spot. The four stood up one after another.

Yang Yan's hand hovered behind Xu Ze's back. There were many people in the restaurant and there were also waiters coming and going. Yang Yan held Xu Ze to protect Xu Ze and the baby in his belly.

The seats had already been cleaned up so the four of them sat down.

Yang Yan took the menu. When it was time to order, he always based on Xu Ze's preferences. If Xu Ze didn't like it, he wouldn't order it.

After ordering, Yang Yan gave the menu to Xie Chengzhou, letting the other person see if there was anything to add.

Xie Chengzhou roughly swept over it with a glance before giving the menu to the waiter waiting.

The dishes came out very fast. After a short while, they put a plate of a dish on the table. The soup pot that was ordered was beef mushroom soup because Xu Ze liked to eat beef. The beef was cooked quickly so it floated up after a while. Yang Yan used his chopsticks to put the beef into Xu Ze's bowl. At the same time, he told Xu Ze that the meat was hot so be careful.

The two people sitting on the opposite side looked at Yang Yan and Xu Ze's intimate behavior, their hearts feeling a little heavy.

During the meal, Xie Chengzhou took the initiative to start a topic: "It's still a while before school is going to start/ Yang Yan, did you have any plans in mind?"

Yang Yan, who was named, looked at Xie Chengzhou. Yang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Did you have any?" Yang Yan asked back.

"I'm finding a place with suitable temperature to travel to for a while." Xie Chengzhou smiled.

"That's great." Yang Yan also smiled.

"Then why don't we arrange it to go together?" Xie Chengzhou glanced at Xu Ze who was next to Yang Yan. Xu Ze was burying his head on eating meat. His cheeks bulged slightly and his lips were crimson, looking extremely cute.

When his gaze returned to Yang Yan, Yang Yan's expression contained some coldness.

"If it's going together then there's no need. The place you like is probably not suitable for Xu Ze." Yang Yan's words obviously contained some meaning inside.

Jiang Li, who was drinking soup, raised his eyes to look at Yang Yan and Xie Chengzhou. The two men were clearly fighting each other with words.

Jiang Li looked at Xu Ze again. Xu Ze was focused on eating as if he didn't hear what the other two said. But don't mention it, Jiang Li lowered his eyes, he suddenly felt that whether it was Yang Yan or Xie Chengzhou, both of them were like children who were fighting.

Jiang Li was amused by his sudden thought. He secretly held it back, though the corners of his mouth still raised involuntarily.

Just then, Xu Ze glanced at Jiang Li and saw the smile on Jiang Li's face.

Jiang Li noticed that Xu Ze was looking at him and looked back. Against Xu Ze's slight inquiry, Jiang Li felt his ears become a bit warm.

The soup in Xu Ze's bowl was gone and the spoon was also placed on the opposite side. He told Yang Yan, "Help me get the spoon."

Although Xu Ze didn't call him directly, Xu Ze's line of sight was on Yang Yan. Yang Yan reached out his hand to take the spoon. However at the same time, his hand stretched out, two other hands also stretched out.

The three people who stretched out their hands looked at one another, obviously not expecting the other two to do the same thing.

The three hands stopped in midair. Xu Ze was also surprised by this scene. The three turned their eyes and stared at Xu Ze as if waiting for Xu Ze to make a sound.

Xu Ze didn't say a word, got up slightly, and took the spoon on the other side.

After getting the spoon, Xu Ze scooped the soup into his empty bowl, not looking at the three people with different strange expressions.

Holding up his spoon, Xu Ze blew on it twice before drinking it.

After putting down the bowl, those three people were still staring at Xu Ze. It was as if they had not blinked and as if someone had taped their body acupuncture points.

Xu Ze simply wanted to sigh.

"Why are you all standing there? Would looking at me make you full?" Xu Ze asked with a smile.

Then the eyes of those people told Xu Ze that indeed they could be full just by looking at him eating.

He was not the one who was not eating and starving their stomach. He said everything he could say and he didn't want to say anything else. Xu Ze buried his head and concentrated on eating.

Yang Yan moved first, though he took his chopsticks to pick up food for Xu Ze. After putting it in Xu Ze's bowl, Yang Yan's mouth was slightly hooked up. His eyes were indifferent, yet there was some kind of attitude of superiority in them. He looked at the other two. Wanting to compete with him, no one was qualified to.

Xu Ze glanced at Yang Yan's expression in the corner of his eyes. He said in his heart childish, but he didn't say anything out loud. He slowly ate the food that Yang Yan got for him.

After this meal, Xu Ze was full. As for whether the other people were full, he didn't know nor would he go and ask. It had no relation to him.

After eating, they parted with Xie Chengzhou and Jiang Li on the side of the road. Xu Ze got into Yang Yan's car.

In the car, Yang Yan looked ahead but asked Xu Ze if there was any place he wanted to travel to. It just so happened that he had a lot of time recently, so he could accompany Xu Ze to go around.

These few days, Xu Ze had mostly stayed at home. The temperature was cold, so he didn't want to go outside. When he was at home, he mostly sat on the sofa with a blanket on his lap.

When asked where he wanted to go, Xu Ze naturally thought of what Xie Chengzhou mentioned during the meal.

Xu Ze had no specific city in mind. Because of his physical condition, it was impossible for him to walk back and forth. He could only find a place with suitable scenery and temperature for a walk.

"A place where the temperature is a bit higher. It's fine as long as it's not too cold." Xu Ze didn't ask for much.

Yang Yan then gave an address.

Xu Ze nodded, expressing no other opinion.

Yang Yan was in charge of the process. As a pregnant person, Xu Ze didn't need to worry about these matters. He only needed to take someone with him when the time came.

Yang Yan still had a few things to deal with. After done with those, he dragged his suitcase together with Xu Ze to the airport this afternoon.

So close to the baby chapter! I can't wait for it!

Two very long dreams this week.

So this dream was like a combination of a bunch of stuff. There was Overgear, a great VR-game manhwa, Minecraft, and a few other miscellaneous things.

This was a very long dream, so what I basically retained were like fragments, the final quest, and the part right before I woke up.

The background of this dream was an RPG VR game with star ranks, 1-star for the worst, and 6-star for the best.

I am guessing on the 6-star since I don't remember any mentions of it, but usually, in games, there are the ranks, common, uncommon, rare, unique, legendary, and mythical. They also correspond with 6 colors respectively, white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red.

Now with the game ranks out of the way, there are also classes in the game. I obviously got the best one, a mythical rank. I don't remember the name, but how it functioned was basically the same as Pagma's Successor in Overgeared.

It's a blacksmith class where you gain stats points depending on the rank of the equipment you crafted. I also ignore all restrictions on equipment, meaning I could wear everything but with a penalty of course.

Out of the fragments I remember, I joined a guild and became one of the top players. Another was that the game was recently released, meaning everyone was still at an early level.

Then the final quest I remember was helping what I think was a priest in a dark cave. This quest was really hard so I called my guild members to help out while I focused on protecting the priest. I'm pretty sure I just sat on the sideline and didn't do much.

After the quest was done, everyone got a small reward for contributing to the quest. I received the main reward, a full 5-star set of equipment. During this time the highest was 4-star equipment that I crafted, so this was the first-ever legendary equipment and it was even a full set of one.

So in secret, I switched out my current 4-star pure white iron armor, to the new 5-star golden armor. There was an option in the game to change your current set's look so I changed it back to the previous 4-star armor. I also hid the viewing option, so only I could see its information.

This was because people, even the ones in my guild, would get jealous and become greedy for the first legendary set of equipment.

After all that, I called some of my friends and went to a place. The game suddenly changed to Minecraft and we came in front of a blue, prismarine pyramid. We walked into it and walked to the center.

There was a hole in the center which then I jumped into. I started to fly with my elytra down the hole. What I saw was water in the beginning then was what seemed to be infinite bookcases and enchanting tables.

During the middle of that, I woke up. The beginning of this dream was fun but the last part was just confusing. Why did it change to Minecraft of all things?

This dream was also very long and I could only remember fragments and two scenes in the dream, one being near the end and the other being the final part.

This was a dungeon invasion manhwa. A few examples are Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader.

It's basically where portals are called dungeons in which monsters travel to earth. There are hunters that have skills and stuff that fight and protect the earth from those monsters. In my dream, there were also gods, so I think it's closer to Omniscient Reader.

There was a ranking system of your power, stages 1-10. Stage 1 was normal humans, while Stage 7 was God. I don't know what Stages 8-10 are, but they're probably very strong.

From what I remember, I was a solo, lone-wolf, op person again. I also had relationships with the God of the Sun and God of the Moon for some reason. I also had a very close best friend.

Now for the first scene, I remember being in a hotel-like building with 15 children. It was protected by the God of the Moon, who was, let's just say, a very good-looking lady. I was staying there because there were hunters outside hunting me down.

But at some point, I decided to leave, but the God of the Moon stopped me. We argued and the God of the Moon mentioned my previous lover. I analyzed based on the fragments that I remember and I believed the God of the Sun was my ex-lover. Also, their gender was never specified, and by the way the God of Moon was talking, they're probably dead.

Anyways, to convince the God of the Moon to let me out, I kissed her. I don't know why, but my dream self did that. The God of the Moon was convinced after talking a little longer, and she also made me the successor, making me the next God of the Moon.

After that, I left the building, and apparently, I could control when it was day and night now. I could move the sun and moon to change it to wherever time it was. This also made me think that I'm also the successor to the God of the Sun, which makes kissing the God of the Moon even weirder.

Then came a part about a car, which has so much happening that I'm giving up on explaining it. Just know that the car door functioned weird and that I hit my IRL sister in the head in my dream for reasons.

Now for the last scene that I remember. It was the final fight of earth against the monsters. While they were fighting, I traveled to the god's realm to truly become the God of the Sun and the Moon. Also, I'm guessing the God of the Moon died too.

After doing the trail and what was needed, I talked to the system that controlled everything. There was a reward, a wish that could grant anything to the strongest person that survived the final fight.

I told my wish to it in advance, cause I know that I was the strongest. The wish was to turn back time to before the dungeons ever began and have Earth permanently exit this game.

After that, I left the God's realm and joined the final battle. My best friend was there fighting too. We fought well and defeated every last monster. Then a Stage 7 God showed up and congratulated us.

I walked forward and basically said something along the lines of, "F*ck you and all the Gods watching. After beating this I will come for your lives. Prepare to die."

The God present laughed at what I could do. Even if it was just one stage apart, we were ranked at Stage 6. It was impossible for me to beat him.

Then I revealed my divinity, the Sun and the Moon. there were like a golden sun and white moon lines behind my head. However, I was still Stage 6, right at the edge of being Stage 7, because I just received them.

The God still mocked me, though still impressed by me having two of the divinity. I then revealed the item I received from the trail in the God's realm.

It was the Scroll Of Day And Night. Its effects were that any of my summons would become one Stage higher than my own, becoming a Stage 7.

I then obviously summoned a bunch and killed that God. After that, I warned the Gods watching that I'm coming for them before my wish came into effect.

I returned to the past but I had to leave my family. I exited Earth and created a protective barrier around it. Then the POV changed to farmland. It was my best friend. Take a guess at what's gonna happen next!

My best friend had a skill that let him also remember what happened. He shouted out loud into the sky that I also somehow heard from space. My best friend wanted to join me and I agreed. We then began on our journey to kill the Gods.

I woke up and the dream ended like that. And yeah, I am shipping my dream self with that best friend. I still don't know what the ex-lover God of the Sun was nor why I kissed the God of the Moon. That was very weird and I think I might be Bi.
