After more than two hours of flight, the plane arrived at its destination.

The luggage was all carried by Yang Yan while Xu Ze only needed to take himself for the entire journey. In the beginning, he wanted to help carry things but Yang Yan didn't let him carry any heavy objects. Afterward, Xu Ze stopped interfering.

The hotel's car drove to the airport to pick up Xu Ze and Yang Yan. After getting into the car, Xu Ze turned to the window to look at this unfamiliar city. He wore a down jacket before coming here, however it was over 20 degrees Celsius here. After getting off the plane, Xu Ze took off his down jacket and put on a thin loose coat. It originally could have been avoided if Xu Ze's stomach hadn't become big. Xu Ze's body was tall and thin. No matter how you looked at his face or his body, it was hard to imagine that his belly would swell up. So he wore loose clothes to cover his belly to prevent people from staring at him with strange gazes.

They arrived at the hotel. Yang Yan ordered a luxurious suite that was so luxurious, that Xu Ze thought they were not entering a hotel but a certain private mansion.

The suite itself even contained a small swimming pool. There was a floor-to-ceiling glass window on the edge of the swimming pool. When he walked to the edge of the pool, Xu Ze looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window that seemed like half of the city was in sight. This position's angle was very good so Xu Ze stood there watching the city scenery. Behind him, Yang Yan put down the suitcases and took out the luggage inside.

For this trip, these five days they would be staying in this suite. The temperature in the city was suitable. One wouldn't feel cold even if one wore one layer. However, if Xu Ze went out, he usually still wore two since one couldn't really cover his pregnant belly.

The travel strategy was already prepared by Yang Yan ahead of time. They went to places with few people like local museums, aquariums, and zoos. Unlike most people, neither of them would take pictures with their phones. Just remembering the beauty in their heart was enough.

They also went to the beach, though there were a lot of people. Everyone was wearing fewer clothes and played around the seaside. Looking at the azure blue water, the natural scenery of the sea seemed to be naturally very attractive to people. It was so attractive that Xu Ze wanted to take a swim in the water.

But if he swam, this protruding belly of his would be way too obvious.

He couldn't swim in the sea, but luckily, there was a swimming pool in the hotel's suite. Xu Ze changed into his swimming trunks before he got into the water and started to swim slowly. Pregnant people swimming occasionally was also better for the body.

Xu Ze swam in the water. After swimming a while, he would lean on the shore to rest. Meanwhile, Yang Yan also went into the water. The swimming pool here was relatively small for him. Swimming one lap around wasn't enough to enjoy it.

Yet because of the other person in the pool, Yang Yan also felt that this pool was built very well.

Xu Ze was soaked all over. As he leaned against the shore, a few strands of his hair fell from his forehead and a clear water droplet slid down his cheeks. His upper body was exposed outside of the water. His skin, which was as white as jade, was dyed with a soft light under the shine of sunlight.

Yang Yan thought that there would never ever be another person in this world, who was more tempting to him than Xu Ze.

Yang Yan swam over to Xu Ze. He didn't speak, using gentle, lingering eyes to stare at Xu Ze. All the meaning Yang Yan wanted to express was in his eyes.

Xu Ze squinted slightly, instantly understanding Yang Yan's thoughts.

Inside the swimming pool. This location alone was enough to make people's blood in their veins churn. Life was to be thoroughly enjoyed. The two of them had slept many times. Going for a round in the swimming pool had a kind of unprecedented excitement. Just thinking about it made Xu Ze's body hot and dry, needing to be relieved.

He slightly raised his beautiful chin, using his alluring peach blossom eyes to look at Yang Yan. His entire expression was expressing one meaning. That was, he agreed.

What Yang Yan was waiting for was Xu Ze's consent. He then pressed Xu Ze's back lightly and leaned his head down.

The swimming pool's surface ripped and swayed layer by layer. At this time, it was still daytime. The sun outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows was shining. The sunlight landed on the water's surface, making it sparkle.

In the shimmering light, two people were entwined with each other, not distinguishing between themselves or the other person.

In the next two days, the two went to eat local delicacies, bought movie tickets, and went to the cinema to watch them. These things they have done between themselves were basically the same as those of real lovers.

It could be said that these few days of the trip had made Yang Yan very happy. It was because he had been with Xu Ze almost 24 hours every day and they had never been apart.

However, the good times always seemed to be short-lived. The trip would always end one day.

Yang Yan extended the five days to seven. However, after the seventh day, they still had to go back. After all, Xu Ze was a pregnant person. Yang Yan had to take care of Xu Ze and the baby in his womb.

Once they returned home, how the two got along seemed to be back to what it was before.

Under this state of cohabitation, a new semester of school also followed along.

As the temperature slowly warmed up, Xu Ze gradually wore fewer clothes. Everyone around began to wear short sleeves, yet Xu Ze still wore loose long sleeves. In the past, Xu Ze often went out to eat with his classmates. In this new semester, Xu Ze seldom ate together with everyone. It was even to the point where once class ended, Xu Ze would leave. If people pay a little less attention, they couldn't even find him.

Some classmates who didn't know the inside story were curious and tried to inquire about it. They learned from Zhou Xing that Xu Ze's body was a little sick and had something growing in his stomach. According to the doctor, he could go to the hospital to have it removed in July or August.

After learning about this situation, some classmates found Xu Ze and asked him if there was enough money for the surgery. These classmates of Xu Ze were all quite friendly.

Xu Ze replied: "It's just a small surgery, a few thousand yuan will be enough. I saved some money by doing part-time work."

"Just a small surgery? Then that's good, everyone was quite worried about you." The classmate sighed in relief.

"Thanks." Xu Ze sincerely expressed his gratitude.

As spring passed by, summer was approaching. Xu Ze's due date was getting closer and closer. The school courses ended one after another and some classes began their exams. Xu Ze, this pregnant person with a big belly, didn't feel that there was anything. He did what he had to do every day, like reviewing and waiting for exams.

The one that was living with him, Yang Yan, was much more nervous than Xu Ze. Xu Ze's belly was like a small watermelon yet he was wearing loose clothes. If one looked closely, one could still see some traces. In this aspect, it should be said that it was thanks to Xu Ze's super high beauty. Everyone looked at his face and very few would then pay attention to his stomach. However, Yang Yan couldn't rest his heart. He hated that he couldn't always be by Xu Ze's side. He wanted to accompany Xu Ze to the exam or come over to pick up Xu Ze after the exam was finished.

This idea was refused by Xu Ze. It was because even if Yang Yan came, he could only watch from the side. It was impossible to help Xu Ze in front of so many classmates. Xu Ze would not let Yang Yan come to support him either.

The two often took exams at the same time. As long as it was together, Yang Yan would hand in his papers in advance and then quickly run to the outside of Xu Ze's exam room. He would wait for Xu Ze in a distant place to watch Xu Ze walk out of the school safely.

Today was the last exam. After finishing this one, they could be considered on vacation. Xu Ze faintly felt his stomach ache when he was halfway done with the test paper. In that instant of pain, Xu Ze had a hunch. However, because the pain was not very strong, Xu Ze estimated his score. He might not get 60 points on it, so he didn't go out. He pressed his stomach with one hand and held a pen with the other as he continued to do the questions. The more he got to the back, the more intense the pain in his abdomen became. Xu Ze originally still wanted to persist, but he knew that he couldn't. Xu Ze got up from his seat as cold sweat rolled down his forehead. It was just the end of the semester exam so the papers could be submitted in advance.

Xu Ze handed in his test papers, took his phone, and left. The teacher that was on the side stopped him. Seeing that Xu Ze's expression was very bad and his forehead was covered in sweat, the teacher asked in concern if Xu Ze was feeling unwell.

Xu Ze waved his hand in denial and quickly walked towards the outside of the examination room.

There was no one in the corridor. Xu Ze called Yang Yan's phone as he walked to the bathroom on the left. When he went in, he entered a cubicle. Xu Ze closed the door of the cubicle and sat down on the toilet as his phone was connected. It seemed that the other side knew there was something wrong with Xu Ze here since Yang Yan's tone was very anxious.

"Xu Ze, what's wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

"You come to Class 5. I'm in the bathroom in the middle of the third floor, hurry up…" Xu Ze's voice was weak. His entire body was so painful that he could hardly speak.

"Okay, you wait for me, I'll come over right now." Yang Yan didn't even hand in his test papers and put them directly on the table. When he answered his phone, he went straight out of the classroom. The teacher called out to stop Yang Yan, but their feet were pinned by Yang Yan's frigid gaze.

After hanging up his phone, Yang Yan walked quickly and then sprinted wildly.

Because he knew in advance where Xu Ze's exam room was, Yang Yan ran all the way over. The bathroom that Xu Ze said on the phone was very easy to find. After Yang Yan went in, he saw a closed cubicle door. He pushed open the door and saw that inside was Xu Ze, who was curled up and pale. At that moment, Yang Yan's heart was ruthlessly pinched.

After entering, Yang Yan helped support Xu Ze before he carried the entire person. Yang Yan's eyes were dark. The entire person was filled with a frightful aura. How terrible his expression was, was how gentle his voice was at that time.

"I'll take you to the hospital right away. It's fine, it'll be alright in a while." Yang Yan lowered his head and soothingly kissed Xu Ze's face.

Xu Ze leaned against Yang Yan's arms. He didn't speak, only nodding slightly.

Yang Yan hugged Xu Ze tightly and took the elevator downstairs. He had a hunch in advance, so he drove the car to the school and parked it. It was just downstairs from where Xu Ze was taking the exam. There were few people in the school as many were taking exams, so the two only met a few occasionally. Yang Yan walked fast and Xu Ze buried his face in Yang Yan's arms. People only saw Yang Yan carrying someone. They didn't even know whether the other party was a boy or girl before Yang Yan already sprinted away from them.

Putting Xu Ze carefully in the back seat, Yang Yan extended his hand to wipe the sweat from Xu Ze's forehead. He then closed the car door and sat in the driver's seat. When he moved the car out of the parking space, Yang Yan turned on the speakerphone on his phone. He called the hospital, saying that Xu Ze was about to give birth and he was immediately bringing Xu Ze there.

The car drove to the hospital. While on the road, Yang Yan looked in the back from time to time. Hearing Xu Ze's overflowing voice of discomfort, Yang Yan's heart was so anxious as if it was burning. He hated that he could not immediately be at the hospital.

---

Today, the road conditions were unexpectedly bad. While Yang Yan was driving to the hospital, after some time passed, there would be a traffic light. He wanted to step on the gas and pass the light, but he saw Xu Ze who was holding his stomach and curling up in the back seat. Although he wanted to go to the hospital immediately, he was afraid that because of his carelessness, something unexpected might happen. Yang Yan knew that he could not bear that consequence.

Every second waiting for the red light was a kind of torment for Yang Yan. His brows deeply furrowed, suddenly annoyed by his own stupidity. He clearly knew that Xu Ze might give birth in these two days. The due date was within these few days, yet Yang Yan did not specially arrange for anyone to stay outside during the exam.

If only someone had been arranged in advance, Xu Ze might have already been at the hospital at this time.

Yang Yan felt uncomparable self remorse.

The car reached the hospital. Getting out of the car, Yang Yan went to the back seat and carried Xu Ze out. He was holding an adult who was not much shorter than himself, yet Yang Yan's pace was unusually fast.

Or in other words, he was carrying Xu Ze and running.

Because of the phone call in advance, there were already medical staffs waiting at the hospital. Yang Yan was a friend of Xie Chengzhou and the hospital was invested in by Xie Chengzhou's family. Naturally, since Yang Yan's person had a problem, they were walking through the internal channel of the hospital.

Xu Ze was sent to the delivery room. At that time, Yang Yan was anxious and wanted to follow in, but was immediately stopped by the medical staff.

Standing outside the delivery room, for so many years, the feeling of powerlessness at this moment was the strongest for Yang Yan.

He suddenly seemed to return to that certain day a few months ago. That day he was playing outside with his friends and called Xu Ze over there temporarily.

A friend asked Xu Ze to drink. Xu Ze found a reason, saying that he was not feeling well and it was inconvenient to drink.

Then they came to the hospital and asked Xu Ze to do an inspection to see if he was lying or not.

The results of the inspection came out, proving that Xu Ze was not lying. It was that he was pregnant and bearing Yang Yan's child.

Recalling a little bit later, on the day Xu Ze planned to have an operation to abort the child, something went wrong during the operation. Xu Ze's body had abnormal bleeding. If the child was rashly aborted, it might have a great impact on his body.

At that time, after he knew about this and then saw Xu Ze's pale and colorless face lying on the bed, Yang Yan felt a little pity. It wasn't because of how much he liked Xu Ze or the child in Xu Ze's belly. At that time, he didn't have any feelings for Xu Ze and the child.

Who would have thought that afterward in an extremely short period of time, Yang Yan's own heart would be captured by Xu Ze day by day?

Right now, Xu Ze was about to give birth and was pushed into the delivery room. Yang Yan was even thinking that as long as Xu Ze and the baby were safe, even if he lived ten years less, no, twenty years less, it was completely okay.

As long as the father and son were safe.

The anesthesia was injected into the lower body. Xu Ze himself was still conscious, even being able to vaguely feel the distinct feeling of a sharp scalpel cutting a hole in his body.

His body was a man. The structure of his body was naturally different from that of an ordinary woman. Most women might choose to give birth naturally, but Xu Ze couldn't do that here. He could only do the c section.

The operation light was dazzling. He was lying on the operating table surrounded by doctors and medical staff. Because of the anesthesia, Xu Ze could not feel any pain.

And because of this matter of giving birth, for Xu Ze, it seemed that his consciousness and his body were separated. His body was lying still, yet his consciousness floated to the side.

It was an intriguing feeling for him, as he watched the operation that was going on in silence.

Before crossing into this world, Xu Ze never thought that one day he would actually lie on the operating table to give birth to a child.

Everything that has happened so far seemed like he was dreaming.

An all too real dream.

Would he transmigrate back after giving birth to this child?

Occasionally, Xu Ze would have a kind of feeling. He secretly seemed to feel that the reason he had crossed over might be because of this unborn child.

And once the baby was born, it would be time for him to leave.

Thinking to this point, Xu Ze actually felt that this seemed okay.

Although he had been pregnant for the past few months, in general situations, the baby was still well-behaved and obedient while in his belly, only being occasionally mischievous. He wasn't like other pregnant people, vomiting and unable to eat things while pregnant. On the contrary, Xu Ze had an especially good appetite.

Xu Ze's split consciousness floated aside. He watched the doctor skillfully cut open his stomach and then slowly took out a bloody baby from inside.

The little baby curled up his small body. His entire body that was just taken out appeared wrinkled like a little monkey. Yet even like this, in Xu Ze's eyes, this bright red little monkey only made Xu Ze feel that he was strangely cute.

Baby, I think your dad would definitely be very happy if he knew that you finally came into this world healthy!

Xu Ze told the baby in his heart. The baby's dad in his words was not himself, nor was Yang Yan who was anxiously waiting outside. It was the soul that left because his body was occupied by Xu Ze.

The doctor held the little guy upside down and patted the little guy's little butt. Wawawa, the baby opened his mouth and cried out with a clear voice.

Xu Ze's consciousness returned to his body because of the baby's cry. His entire body felt abnormally weak. But even so, his watering peach blossom eyes still revealed a smile.

He came into this world and surprisingly became a father. This body and the child had no relations with him. But under the company of the past few months, Xu Ze had already developed feelings for the little guy growing in his belly. Seeing the baby being born, hearing the first sound of the baby coming into this world, Xu Ze had never felt this moved in this life.

A medical staff carried the baby over and let Xu Ze take a look. Xu Ze stared at the little guy's little face and the little hands that were clenched into fists. He slightly bowed his head and slightly smiled at the little guy. The baby was just born so his eyes were still closed. He didn't know that Xu Ze was smiling at him.

The medical staff took the baby to take a bath and rinsed off the blood on his body, while the doctor on Xu Ze's side began to suture the wound on his abdomen.

Xu Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief when it reached here. He tilted his head back and stared at the ceiling overhead. In a trance, he didn't think of the baby but suddenly thought of Yang Yan outside the door. He thought of that ten million yuan.

The previous agreement with Yang Yan was that he would give birth to the child, then Yang Yan would give him 10 million yuan.

At present, Xu Ze had 4.5 million yuan in his hands. After using more than 1 million to buy an apartment, there were still 5.5 million. Xu Ze thought, in a while when he met Yang Yan, he had to make Yang Yan pay the rest at once.

Thinking here, Xu Ze smiled. He's afraid that if he mentioned this matter to Yang Yan, the expression on Yang Yan's face would definitely be very good-looking.

But this was something that had already been agreed upon in advance. No matter what Yang Yan thought, Xu Ze would leave after taking the money.

The wound was sutured. The effect of the anesthetic was still there, so Xu Ze felt no strength in his body and also could not feel pain.

After the operation, Xu Ze was pushed out. As soon as he went out, a tall figure walked over quickly. The man held Xu Ze's hand tightly as soon as he walked over, staring at Xu Ze with a pair of red bloodshot eyes. Xu Ze heard Yang Yan asking him how he was. The corners of Xu Ze's mouth curved. He was too weak, so he didn't make a sound.

Yang Yan turned to look at the doctor. The doctor told him that the operation went well and that there were no problems. Xu Ze and the baby were both safe and sound.

Hearing that the two were safe, Yang Yan's worried heart put to rest a bit. He helped push the hospital bed back to the ward. During the middle of the process, Yang Yan never let go of Xu Ze's hand and kept holding it tightly.

Xu Ze felt tired and mouthed to Yang Yan that he would sleep for a while. Yang Yan carefully covered Xu Ze with the blanket. He watched Xu Ze close his eyes and stare at his face without blinking. Only when Xu Ze let out a shallow breathing sound, did Yang Yan's body lean forward. He lowered his head and dropped a kiss on Xu Ze's cool forehead.

Yang Yan accompanied and sat next to Xu Ze for a good while. After some time, a medical staff came in and told Yang Yan that he could now see the baby.

Yang Yan got up and stared at Xu Ze for a moment. Seeing that Xu Ze was sound asleep, he thought of leaving for a while and then coming back immediately. Yang Yan followed the medical staff to see the baby in the nursery.

Xu Ze, who was originally sleeping in the ward, suddenly opened his eyes. Xu Ze showed a sliver of confusion. He was originally in the middle of sleeping, but suddenly there was a voice calling him right by his ear. That voice woke Xu Ze up. As a result, he looked around the ward, yet he couldn't find even half a shadow.

"Xu Ze, thank you!" A little light group appeared in the midair. The shape of the light group unexpectedly resembled a little baby.

Staring at the ball of light, Xu Ze's brows furrowed slightly as he asked who the other party was.

Xu Ze was asking in his heart, yet the other party was able to hear Xu Ze's voice. It replied, "I'm System 759. Thank you for assisting me to complete my job this time." The ball of light's voice was mechanical, yet he seemed to be able to hear that its gratitude was very sincere.

"What job?" Xu Ze didn't open his mouth. Since the other party could know what he was thinking, he could just think in his heart.

"Let the baby be born smoothly." 759 replied.

Xu Ze's expression was slightly surprised. After the surprise, he recovered his calm. This was basically the same as a certain conjecture of his. He always believed that everything that happened was for a reason and was not appearing without any reason at all.

It turned out that he was actually transmigrated with a mission. The mission of giving birth to a child?

"Why didn't you show up and tell me about this matter in the beginning?" Xu Ze asked with his eyes piercing and sharp. The light ball he was staring coldly at suddenly shook.

The light ball didn't make a sound, as if thinking of an excuse.

And so Xu Ze self-asked and self-answered: "Because you knew that if you told me at the time, I would definitely not agree, right?"

After a good while, the light ball gave a low 'en'. It was clearly a system, yet Xu Ze could actually see a little pitiness from it.

"Are you pretending to be pitiful with me?" After knowing the real reason why he came to this world, if he wanted to say that he was deceived and abused, this kind of feeling in fact was not much. Because during this period of time, Xu Ze felt that what he lived through was okay. He ate well, dressed well, and lived well. There was also Yang Yan, this person who liked him. Those contacts between them also made Xu Ze realize that rolling in bed with someone was a joyful and enjoyable thing, both physically and mentally.

So Xu Ze didn't really have any anger in his heart at all. Instead, he found it unexpected, interesting, and very exciting.

"I'm sorry!" In a pitiful voice, 759 apologized to Xu Ze.

"It already happened, so don't say sorry." Xu Ze smiled playfully, "Okay, let's talk about it now. What did you come out here for?"

If it really ended like this, Xu Ze thought that maybe the system should not have appeared. Just for an instant right now, Xu Ze had a thought. He felt that everything here was not the end and might be the beginning.

All those thoughts of Xu Ze's were observed by the system. It descended from midair and landed on the hospital bed.

When Xu Ze raised his eyes and stared at it calmly, the system said slowly, "Yes, it's as you thought. This is the first mission. There are many similar missions to follow."

"Similar? I still have to continue to transmigrate and continue to have children?" Xu Ze asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yes." The system 'looked' at Xu Ze. Although it had no eyes, Xu Ze could feel it was watching him.

"Can I go back to my original world in the end? Return safely and freely?" Xu Ze's face turned serious.

"You can. I believe in your ability. None of these tasks is a problem for you." The system had always been observing secretly. Xu Ze had a charm that ordinary people did not have. That charm even made this system, that didn't have a heart or emotions, felt like Xu Ze's entire person was bright and dazzling.

"Okay, then the next question. What can I get? If I help you, what can you give me?" In Xu Ze's life dictionary, giving and getting were equated.

It didn't have to be a complete equal sign. It was fine to bend it a little bit, but he must get something.

He didn't have some sort of big generous heart. He was just an ordinary selfish person.

"Ten years. Every time the mission is completed, you can continue to stay in this world for ten years. In these ten years, your appearance won't age and be free from disasters and pains. RIght, there is one more. According to a saying in your world, you will be a European Emperor." The system told Xu Ze the rewards for every mission.

Xu Ze listened and lowered his eyes. Any one of the rewards was very good in his opinion. Even if it was only one of those, he felt that this transaction with the system was worthwhile.

Ten years of unaging appearance, no disaster and no pain, and European Emperor. Any one was enough to make people envious, yet unexpectedly, it turned out that they were all added together.

He'll do this transaction!

"Okay, deal!" No one would resist this kind of temptation.

"The mission has already been completed. Do you plan to leave after some time or right now?" The system asked Xu Ze.

"I can choose?"

"You can."

"Wait, has Yang Yan sent over the remaining 5.5 million yet?" He couldn't leave without receiving the money.

"It has already arrived."

"Then I'll…

---

just leave." Xu Ze's voice stopped slightly when he said this, as if he thought of something. However, soon he chose to ignore that certain something. To be precise, a certain someone.

The system flew towards Xu Ze. The light ball gradually became larger, covering Xu Ze's entire body in an instant.

After a few seconds, the light ball silently exploded out. After the dazzling light disappeared, the person on the hospital bed closed his eyes that were originally opened. It was the complete and forever closing of those eyes.

After seeing the baby in the nursery, Yang Yan turned around and walked back. He walked to the front of the ward and reached out to open the door. He came to the hospital bed and sat on the stool he had sat on before, gently holding Xu Ze's hand outside the quilt. Yang Yan stared at Xu Ze affectionately.

Gradually, Yang Yan felt that something was a little abnormal. He looked at Xu Ze's quiet and sleeping face. When Xu Ze fell asleep before, his nose would move slightly because of breathing. He left for a few minutes, yet Yang Yan found Xu Ze lying there like he was no longer breathing.

When this thought occurred, Yang Yan's heart sank suddenly. He slowly got up and slowly reached out to Xu Ze's nose. Just as his hand was half stretched out, Yang Yan suddenly withdrew his hand.

What was he doing? Did he go crazy?

The doctor just said that Xu Ze and the baby, both father and son, were safe, that the c section operation went very smoothly. Before he left, Xu Ze had also just closed his eyes. They had even looked at each other.

How could Xu Ze not be breathing?

It was impossible!

Yang Yan hooked his lips and smiled at the thought that he was thinking too much.

He sat back again, trying his best to make himself ignore the weird feeling in his heart. Holding Xu Ze's hand in both hands, Yang Yan maintained the same sitting position and didn't change.

As time passed quietly, Yang Yan felt that the skin of the hand in his hand was slowly getting colder and colder.

With a bang, Yang Yan stood up abruptly. Because he stood up too fast, the stool behind him hit the ground with a loud, piercing sound.

If he couldn't hear Xu Ze's breathing, Yang Yan could still find a reason for it. But with the temperature of Xu Ze's hands getting lower and lower, Yang Yan already had no reason.

There was pain and fear in his eyes as he slowly approached Xu Ze again.

He put his finger under Xu Ze's nose. There was no breath. Xu Ze wasn't breathing.

Yang Yan didn't believe it. He pressed Xu Ze's neck artery again, but there was still no movement from the pulse.

How was it possible?! Yang Yan lifted the blanket and put his ear to Xu Ze's chest, trying to hear Xu Ze's heartbeat.

Nothing. There was nothing at all. It was empty as if Xu Ze's heart was already no longer in his body.

Yang Yan stiffly stood up and straightened his body. Things happened too quickly and without warning. Yang Yan was unable to accept it. He couldn't accept it.

He stepped back. His calm expression just before was now full of shock and surprise.

Yang Yan's lower lip trembled nonstop. He raised his hand and wanted to touch Xu Ze's body, but his feet were stiff like it was filled with lead, unable to move forward.

Yang Yan widened his eyes. Not moving at all, he stared at Xu Ze on the bed, who had no sound nor breath and was devoid of vital signs.

For Yang Yan, the few seconds seemed as long as a century.

After his body was finally able to move, Yang Yan turned around and went out to find the doctor.

The doctor and several nurses rushed over. Yang Yan's tall body stood aside, watching the few people gather around to check Xu Ze's body. He watched them check Xu Ze's pulse and look under his eyelids to check his eyes.

After some inspections, the medical staff were endlessly astonished. Xu Ze just slept to the other place like this without warning. With a peaceful expression on his face, it was as if he really was just sleeping.

Yang Yan asked the doctor what the result was.

The doctor shook his head, his expression already explaining everything.

"Thoroughly do another inspection, maybe something went wrong?" Yang Yan said with a tiny smile. But his expression was the same as that of an ice cold puppet, looking at it made one's heart tremble.

The doctor and nurses looked at each other before pushing out the recently pushed in hospital bed.

They went to the professional examination room to give Xu Ze a full-body examination. Xu Ze's body was dead. His brain was dead. All vital signs were nonexistent.

Yang Yan stood outside the examination room. Outside the corridor, the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly, yet the location Yang Yan was standing in was in the shadow. His eyes were darker than the darkness of extreme night.

The beast locked in the cage of his heart tore open the iron bars and rushed out. It was roaring and growling. Its sharp claws were tearing at Yang Yan's soul.

Yang Yan's body leaned back against the wall. The corners of his mouth hooked up slightly. There was a smile on his face, yet there was a deep unbearable sadness in his eyes.

Yang Yan blinked his eyes. A single tear drop fell from his eyes.

In the nursery room, the baby seemed to have perceived it. He suddenly burst into tears loudly, crying out of breath. The nurse went in and picked up the baby to coax him, but the baby was still crying. He kept on crying.

Xu Ze opened his eyes in a familiar room. The reason why it was familiar was because of the decorative furniture in the room, those of which he had only seen not long ago. After sweeping his eyes around, he was the only one in the room. He lowered his head to look at his body. There were familiar clothes on his body. It should be said that it was the familiar clothes from the real world.

He often wore this outfit, including before he transmigrated over. He had worn this set as casual wear.

Xu Ze felt puzzled by the current scene. He lifted the hem of his clothes to look at his stomach. The sudden appearance of a flat and smooth stomach made Xu Ze's brows slightly jump.

As if realizing a certain situation in an instant, Xu Ze hurried to the bathroom and stood in front of the glass mirror. That familiar face inside the mirror gave Xu Ze a long-lost sense of comfort and peace of mind.

He reached out with his two hands and pinched his face. It was a sensation that was extremely real.

Xu Ze curled his lips and smiled at the person in the mirror. The person inside was also smiling brightly. Sure enough, it was still his own face and his body that was more comfortable to use. Unlike that previous body, because of being pregnant, it caused Xu Ze unable to do many things nor eat many things.

Now that it was his own body, he could do whatever he wanted to.

Just as Xu Ze was thinking about the wonderful ten years of his future life, Xu Ze suddenly thought of a matter that was extremely important.

Did he have any money in his bank card? If there was no money, he wouldn't even know where to eat his next meal. Taking out the bank card, Xu Ze went downstairs with the door key. The key was placed at the entrance.

There was an ATM downstairs, so Xu Ze checked the balance on the card there. When he saw the seven digits inside, Xu Ze subconsciously raised his lips. But then Xu Ze's expression froze immediately because he suddenly remembered that although he had his own body, this card still belonged to Yang Yan. If he used the money in it, Yang Yan would definitely be able to find him immediately.

As a result of this, his running plan might have to be suspended. Just when Xu Ze was worried about this problem, he took out the card from the ATM. He lowered his eyes and looked at the card. This card was unexpectedly not the one that Yang Yan gave him, but his own.

As for why it was his own card, Xu Ze could figure it out right away. He thought about him being able to transmigrate and even change his identity immediately after giving birth to the child. With all these kinds of occurrences, the Xu Ze right now wouldn't feel any surprise.

Xu Ze returned with the card. The mobile phone he had was also the one he used in the real world. Even the number had not changed.

If these were the rewards given to him by that system called 759, him giving birth to a child to receive huge wealth and even ten years of rich and beautiful time, this transaction was quite cost-effective.

In fact, Xu Ze's thoughts of returning to reality were not that strong. There were not many people in that world that he missed, including his family. They all had that one person they cared about most.

Xu Ze was not anyone's only one. If there was such a person in that world who was happy and sad for Xu Ze, maybe Xu Ze would have missed that world more.

Unfortunately, there was no such person.

Well for this world, there seemed to be one at the moment. But how do you put it. Having someone who had strong possessiveness around him, like having eyes staring at him wherever he went, that kind of bounded feeling was something that Xu Ze didn't quite like.

For Xu Ze, he could endure everything else, but the exception was he didn't want his freedom restricted.

Back at home, Xu Ze rummaged in the drawer for a while and found his ID card. The real estate certificate was also there with Xu Ze's name written on it. However, the photo was not the 'Xu Ze' from before, but Xu Ze right now.

After the system helped Xu Ze leave the hospital, it gave Xu Ze an identity similar to the real world. At the same time, he completely changed all the information related to the original. As for why the name was not changed, that was because the system once asked Xu Ze that if he changed his identity, whether or not he'll use another name.

Xu Ze's answer at the time was: "Just use this one. I've used it for more than 20 years. I'm already used to it."

According to Xu Ze's intention, the system kept his name and then changed everything else.

Looking at the time on his phone, the time had not changed other than being two hours later from the end of Xu Ze's c-section. He thought of Yang Yan and even about the baby. The former Xu Ze didn't have much thought of, but the latter made Xu Ze want to go and take another look.

However, Xu Ze knew that if he went directly to see him right now, he might not see the baby.

Anyway, they were in the same city. There would be opportunities in the future and Xu Ze believed that Yang Yan would definitely be good to the baby.

Xu Ze gave birth to the baby yet left in a blink of an eye. Maybe it was because he had his own body back, what happened before seemed like a realistic dream to him. So his heart didn't fluctuate much, because not many people would wallow in their dreams.

Right now, all aspects of this body were the same as Xu Ze's original. He had already graduated and was a freelancer.

Even if he wasn't a freelancer, the millions on Xu Ze's body were enough for him to use.

He as a person didn't have a hobby of spending a lot of money. This added to the fact that Xu Ze remembered the system telling him that he would not grow old, be free from illness and disaster for the next ten years. He suddenly wondered that if he did something illegal, would he also not be caught.

Of course, he was just thinking about it and Xu Ze wouldn't do it. In his opinion, there were no reasons to do that.

Suddenly the surroundings became quiet. Xu Ze walked to the window. The hot wind blew in as he took a deep breath.

From now on, it would be his one person life again. He didn't have anyone to accompany him, nor did he need one.

---

In the hospital, the body of 'Xu Ze' was placed in the morgue. Yang Yan stood motionless beside the corpse.

Xie Chengzhou, who received the doctor's call, rushed over. Xie Chengzhou was Yang Yan's friend, not to mention the hospital was also his family's property. The doctor saw that Yang Yan's entire state was very unusual, worried that something strange would happen to Yang Yan. He spoke a few words, when Yang Yan's red bloodshot eyes stared at him. The doctor felt a chill in his heart and didn't dare to say more.

Xie Chengzhou was originally playing billiards with other friends in a billiards hall. When the call came over, he heard the person on the other side say that something had happened to Xu Ze. In that instant, Xie Chengzhou thought that the doctor was joking with him.

But after thinking about it, no one would be joking with him about this matter. He guessed that the doctor also didn't have the guts. He asked him the reason for the incident and he learned that Xu Ze originally had a very successful birth operation. When he left the operation room, he was fine. Yet when he returned to the ward, he closed his eyes and went to sleep. After this sleep, he could never wake up again. Xie Chengzhou held his phone for a good half a day without speaking.

"Okay, I'll go there right away." Xie Chengzhou told the doctor.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Chengzhou looked at the faces of the other people in the room. Everyone here was talking and laughing, their lives were fresh and alive. Yet that other person, the one who once had touched his heartstrings, suddenly died like this. Xie Chengzhou couldn't understand. He couldn't understand how a living person could leave without warning, without the slightest warning at all.

Xie Chengzhou told his friends that he had a bit of matter to deal with and left first.

His friends were a little curious because they saw Xie Chengzhou's face was terrifyingly gloomy. His lover Jiang Li was also there. When Xie Chengzhou was suddenly leaving, he naturally followed along.

Jiang Li followed Xie Chengzhou. His lips pursed, wanting to ask something. However, sensing the gloom from Xie Chengzhou, he pursed his lips tightly without uttering a word.

Sitting in the car, Xie Chengzhou pulled the seat belt. He turned his head to see Jiang Li also sitting inside. The more he looked at this face, the more and more similar it was to Xu Ze. Xie Chengzhou suddenly laughed.

He said to Jiang Li, "Xu Ze is dead!"

Jiang Li was stunned in an instant.

The car started. On the way to the hospital, light could hardly enter Xie Chengzhou's deep dark eyes.

On the side, Jiang Li's eyes trembled. He heard Xie Chengzhou's words clearly, understanding each and every word. Xie Chengzhou said that Xu Ze was dead.

Xu Ze was dead!

That kind of person, how could he be dead? He should be doted on by this whole world.

Jiang Li's voice trembled, unwilling to believe: "You're joking with me, right? How could he, Xu Ze, how could he…" Jiang Li couldn't say the two words "be dead", for fear that once he said it, that things would really become that way.

He didn't believe it. Not even the least.

Xie Chengzhou's eyes were fixated on the window glass in front, not even glancing at Jiang Li with the corner of his eye.

"The phone call from the hospital wouldn't not be fake." Xie Chengzhou's tone was calm, but only he knew how much surprise was in his heart.

That feeling of "unacceptable" was definitely not even less than Jiang Li's.

Regarding the matter of Jiang Li liking Xu Ze, Xie Chengzhou knew about it. On a certain day before, they happened to meet so they ate mushroom soup together. During the meal, Xie Chengzhou discovered that the lover he had originally found as a stand-in actually fell in love with the person he liked.

He had never encountered this situation before. After that, Xie Chengzhou began to discover some characteristics of Jiang Li that he had not found before. Then he slowly found that Jiang Li was also very interesting. Continuing to keep him by his side like raising a small pet and occasionally teasing him wasn't bad.

But Xie Chengzhou never expected that this would happen. Xu Ze left suddenly.

The car drove fast and came to the hospital in a blink of an eye. The doctor mentioned on the phone that Xu Ze's body had already been transferred to the morgue.

The darkness was setting down on the sky. The sunset was as red as blood, dyeing half of the sky blood red. When Xie Chengzhou got out of the car at that moment, his heart felt very uncomfortable.

Xie Chengzhou called the doctor and said that he had arrived. The doctor hurried out to pick up Xie Chengzhou, and then took Xie Chengzhou and the Jiang Li behind him to the morgue.

The air-conditioning was running in the morgue, so as soon as one entered, the cold air struck. Jiang Li shivered from the cold. He followed closely behind Xie Chengzhou and walked to the basement. After a while, a tall figure with his back turned to them appeared in front of them.

The footsteps of several people were not light, but Yang Yan, who was standing, still did not turn his head.

Xie Chengzhou walked to Yang Yan's side. There was a corpse lying on the table in front of him. His body was covered by cloth. When the cloth on the face was lifted, a peaceful and gentle sleeping face appeared.

Xie Chengzhou wanted to reach out to probe Xu Ze's breath. Even if he saw the person lying there, he just hoped this was a prank. However, Xie Chengzhou's hand failed to touch Xu Ze, because Yang Yan clasped his wrist in the next moment. .

Withdrawing his hand, Xie Chengzhou turned his wrist. Yang Yan's grip was extremely strong, as if he wanted to grip Xie Chengzhou's wrist bone.

Xie Chengzhou's eyes turned from Xu Ze's cold white face back to Yang Yan. What happened in front of his eyes had become an established fact. People couldn't be resurrected from the dead. Compared with Yang Yan's deep love for Xu Ze who had also sunk in completely, Xie Chengzhou was relatively rational.

With his palm on Yang Yan's shoulder, Xie Chengzhou whispered, "Your child is still in the hospital. He needs you more."

Yang Yan's eyes that haven't moved for a long time finally fluctuated a little. He looked at Xie Chengzhou. Xie Chengzhou was surprised by the intense sadness in Yang Yan's eyes. That kind of grief was as if the other person's entire world had been tiled over.

Xie Chengzhou's breathing slightly stagnated in his throat.

"Why? If I had known this was the result, I wouldn't want this child."

Xie Chengzhou didn't want Yang Yan to sink too deep: "You should know better than me. This world doesn't have that much if I knew earlier."

Yang Yan laughed out loud, yet the smile was endlessly sad and bitter.

"You should go out. Let me stay for another while." Yang Yan asked Xie Chengzhou to leave.

Xie Chengzhou still wanted to say something, but he saw Yang Yan lowered his head and continued to stare at Xu Ze. The entire body was covered with a barrier, making others unable to approach. Xie Chengzhou shook his head slightly.

He turned around and gestured for Jiang Li to go out with him.

Jiang Li's expression was stunned, dumbfounded and dazed.

Yang Yan had been standing since Xu Ze's body was placed in the morgue. After Xie Chengzhou and the others came, he still stood still.

It was almost midnight when he finally moved. The entire person was also frozen bloodless by the cold air inside.

Xie Chengzhou and the others waited outside. Jiang Li fell asleep against the wall while waiting. Xie Chengzhou told him he could take a taxi and leave first, but Jiang Li refused to leave. The two waited until midnight to finally see Yang Yan come out.

After Yang Yan came out, he noticed that Xie Chengzhou and the others were still there. He walked up slowly. When he was about to get there, his feet stumbled under him. His body swayed and his forehead accidentally hit the wall. He directly broke his head and blood ran down Yang Yan's cheek. A trail of bloodstain ran across his face.

But Yang Yan didn't seem to feel the pain. He stood straight up and continued to walk forward.

Xie Chengzhou and Jiang Li looked at each other before following Yang Yan.

Yang Yan walked upstairs to the nursery room where the baby was. The baby still didn't know that one of his fathers had already left.

---

Yang Yan walked in front while Xie Chengzhou and Jiang Li were not far behind him. Yang Yan's current state was something Xie Chengzhou had never seen before in the years he spent with Yang Yan.

Although Xie Chengzhou was very interested in the person Yang Yan liked, almost collapsing their friendship at first, however Xie Chengzhou took the initiative to quit later. Because he began to realize that stolen melons were not sweet. Not everything he liked needed to be in his hand.

As friends, the friendship between Xie Chengzhou and Yang Yan was not that fragile. When Xu Ze left, leaving behind the child and Yang Yan, Xie Chengzhou knew how much this would affect Yang Yan. At this time, Yang Yan needed someone by his side. Even if it wasn't to comfort him, it also was best to accompany him by his side.

Xie Chengzhou followed silently and accompanied Yang Yan to the nursery room.

There were many newborn babies living in the nursery. Naturally, the child of Xu Ze and Yang Yan, who was born a few hours ago, was also in it.

Yang Yan stood outside the glass window. He had been here before, so he knew which baby inside was his. Yang Yan's eyes darkened as he concentrated on one of the cribs.

Xie Chengzhou walked over from behind and stood side by side with Yang Yan. Following Yang Yan's line of sight, he easily found a little body among the many babies. The little baby's two cute little hands were clenched into fists and raised on his little face. He was sleeping very peacefully at this time. After seeing the cute soft face of the baby, Xie Chengzhou's heart also softened instantly.

It's just that when this piece of softness emerged, another kind of deep regret also flooded into his heart. As soon as the baby was born, his papa left. Of course, Xie Chengzhou believed that Yang Yan would definitely be very good to the baby that Xu Ze gave him, raising the child as a treasure. However, no matter how much more love, it would never replace that person that was currently lying in the morgue, already having no more breathe.

Xie Chengzhou sighed deeply and turned his head to look at Yang Yan. Probably because of seeing the baby, Yang Yan's haze-shrouded face finally eased a little. Xie Chengzhou reached out and pressed lightly on Yang Yan's shoulder.

"You be rest assured on the baby's side. I will tell the hospital to take special care of the baby and not let anything happen to the baby. Yang Yan, you…" Xu Ze's sudden departure made Xie Chengzhou also contain some sadness in his heart. After all it was someone that moved his heart and that person was so beautiful. Xie Chengzhou never really thought that there would be a day like this. Xu Ze left just like this, leaving behind a cold dead body.

"I'm sorry for your loss!" Xie Chengzhou only felt pale and powerless when he said these words, the words of consolation. Let alone Yang Yan, he himself knew it had no use.

Yang Yan's dark eyes fluctuated slightly and his eyes finally stared at Xie Chengzhou.

"Then I'll trouble you." Talking like this didn't mean that Yang Yan didn't care about the child and just dumped the child, but because he had to deal with the matter of Xu Ze's departure.

The reason Xu Ze left suddenly was because he gave birth to this child.

The hospital couldn't find out the specific reason for Xu Ze's death. He was completely fine before, yet he suddenly stopped breathing due to the baby's birth.

Yang Yan would not blame the baby as the reason. The baby was innocent. The real guilty one was him. If he hadn't let Xu Ze get pregnant in the beginning, Xu Ze wouldn't have left now.

The guilty one was him.

This point was one that Yang Yan gradually made clear about.

From the outside of the nursery room, he stared at the baby sleeping peacefully inside One look turned into watching for a long time.

The sky was already dark. The sky was dark tonight, not having a single star. It was as if the whole world had fallen into a kind of dead silence.

Yang Yan turned around and left in silence. Xie Chengzhou followed Yang Yan for a while, and then didn't continue. He had to say hello to the hospital in person and let the hospital find someone to take care of Yang Yan and Xu Ze's child.

Yang Yan's figure was originally steel-boned, but as he walked and walked, his back seemed to show signs of bending. Behind him, Xie Chengzhou frowned. After Yang Yan's figure disappeared from sight, Xie Chengzhou sighed and at the same time shook his head helplessly.

"Child…" Jiang Li had been following quietly without a sound. He didn't make a sound before. He was not someone who couldn't see the atmosphere clearly. Besides, he had similarities to Xu Ze in appearance. So in front of Yang Yan, in order not to let Yang Yan see his face and make his mood fluctuate, Jiang Li basically lowered his face all this time.

Now that Yang Yan had left, Jiang Li had a huge question in his heart. This doubt was stuck in his throat and he uncontrollably wanted to know an answer.

Xie Chengzhou knew what Jiang Li wanted to ask. He did not give Jiang Li an answer immediately, but instead asked Jiang Li, "What did you guess?"

Jiang Li's lips parted slightly. He had an idea in his heart, but it was too absurd. It was impossible. How could it be possible? That kind of thing, even TV shows wouldn't act like this.

Jiang Li shook his head slightly: "I, I don't know."

He said he didn't know, but his eyes were expressing that he already had a certain guess.

"Yes, it's just as you think. The child was birthed by Xu Ze." Xie Chengzhou's mouth curled up slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Remember that one thing that happened before?"

Xie Chengzhou asked Jiang Li to recall the past.

Jiang Li opened his eyes slightly, waiting for Xie Chengzhou's next words.

"At that time you were also there. The group of us went to the outskirts for a barbecue. Yang Yan brought Xu Ze here. Xu Ze then left by himself not long after and strolled around. Later, you seemed to follow him over. And then Xu Ze's body suddenly became unwell, you contacted me and had me come over to help Xu Ze." Those memories seemed to happen right in front of his eyes. Xu Ze at that time was fresh and bright, completely different from the pale face lying motionless in the morgue right now.

"At that time, was it because his stomach hurted?" Jiang Li's eyes were full of astonishment. He was also very curious at the time, why Xu Ze was fine one moment, but suddenly squatted on the ground covering his stomach the next. It turned out to be this reason.

"The only people who know about this are us and the hospital. You should keep this secret well." Xie Chengzhou put away all his smiles, the eyes staring at Jiang Li were completely cold.

Jiang Li only felt that his heart was desolate. His body swayed slightly and then he grabbed the balcony to stabilize his body. So the reason why Xu Ze left unexpectedly was because he gave birth to the baby? For the baby's life in exchange for Xu Ze's?

It was the first time Jiang Li fell in love with someone at first sight in so many years. Although he always knew that this feeling was hopeless, it was enough for Jiang Li to be able to have Xu Ze meet him and get to know him.

Looking at that person's smiling face, Jiang Li felt that the whole world was bright.

Yet fate was so indifferent, taking Xu Ze away without warning like this.

Tears slowly dripped out of Jiang Li's eyes. These were the tears he suppressed when he saw Xu Ze's body in the morgue. At this time, he finally couldn't endure it and he wept silently.

Tears slid down his face and the scene in his sight became blurred. Jiang Li covered his face with his hands. He knew that there would never be that person who made him fall in love at first sight in this world anymore.

He suddenly started to regret. He should have confessed to Xu Ze in the beginning. Even if he was rejected, it didn't matter. At least it would let Xu Ze know that there was someone who liked him.

Jiang Li knew that that day would never come.

A one person life. To be honest, there were few little accidents in the beginning. After all, Xu Ze had been living together with Yang Yan in the past few months. In order to take care of Xu Ze and the child in his womb, Yang Yan specially invited an auntie to cook and clean up his room.

Now that Xu Ze left, he had another identity and returned to a state of being by himself. He had to do everything by himself.

There was a saying that, being lazy for three days, you'll have to learn for three years to catch up.

It wasn't only three days at first. During the pregnancy, Xu Ze didn't even lift any heavy objects. The child's other father almost held him in the palm of his hand. Occasionally Xu Ze would miss his previous life a little bit. But other than his nostalgia, letting him continue that kind of life, Xu Ze was rather unwilling.

Being lazy for a little, make it up by taking it slow and being diligent.

Xu Ze was a very executive person. Getting used to the life of one person, was something in a short period of time.

Cooking his own food and doing his own laundry. There was a washing machine for laundry, so he only had to dry it himself.

Living by himself in an apartment, doing whatever he wanted, and with no other people around. This kind of complete freedom was what Xu Ze liked the most and wanted most.

There were more than 8 million left in the card after he bought this house for more than 1 million. Xu Ze's daily expenses were basically food. He did not buy famous brands for clothes. Instead buying some discounted brands on the Internet. The price was cheap and the quality was actually good.

Probably because Xu Ze was born with a good appearance, on the contrary, he didn't pay much attention to everything else to his appearance like clothes. The simpler the style of clothing, the better. As long as it's comfortable, it's fine.

He spent a few days comfortably at home. These days, in a sense, were Xu Ze also adjusting and changing his mood.

He as a person, a cold heart remained a cold heart. However, a heart was not made of stone. The baby had been in his womb for a few months and Yang Yan was by his side taking care of him meticulously. It was naturally impossible for him to forget them immediately. .

Xu Ze never thought about going back. What was he returning back to do?

Living happily as a family of three?

He would only be in this world for ten years. Rather than another separation again after ten years, it was better to separate right now.

Time could always dilute everything. Other than emotions, people had many other things.

---

In the past few days, Xu Ze had not been to the hospital, let alone going to find Yang Yan. He'd be stupid to ran to Yang Yan.

He had basically finished adjusting his emotions. Early this morning, Xu Ze took the key and his phone and went out. He wanted to look at the baby from a distance. He only had one glance at the baby while in the delivery room. The baby was like a little monkey with a wrinkled body. He should look a little prettier after a bath.

Xu Ze first drove to the hospital and asked the nurse for the nursery room's location. It only had been a few days since he gave birth. The baby should still be in the hospital. If not, then he would go to Yang Yan's place to have a look.

As for what he'll do if he encountered Yang Yan in the middle, Xu Ze's current appearance was what he looked like in his original world, which was completely different from the 'Xu Ze' in this world. He believed that even if he and Yang Yan walked past face-to-face, Yang Yan would still not recognize him. If he really recognized fim, then this world would have a big problem.

Arriving outside of the nursery, there was a glass window outside that one could see the situation inside. There were a lot of cribs inside, with each having a baby in them. Looking around, Xu Ze didn't know which one was his baby. He also couldn't ask the nurse any more, unless he wanted to be exposed like this.

Xu Ze walked to the side, turned the corner and thought that this was fine. He'll wait until the baby was bigger. At that time he'll find another opportunity to see the baby from a distance or wait a bit longer.

Then when Xu Ze was about to walk out of the corner, a person appeared in his sight.

The instant he saw Yang Yan, Xu Ze's pupils shrank slightly. His face did not fluctuate, but a little ripple appeared in his heart. Yang Yan's entire body appeared extremely gloomy, as if the surrounding light was avoiding him. His pupils contained deep darkness without light.

Xu Ze stared at him for a moment, before looking away. He followed Yang Yan's steps and took a step back. After retreating, Xu Ze suddenly smiled because he remembered what the system said to him in the hospital. The system said that in these ten year, his luck would be at the level of a European Emperor.

Since this was the case, even if he walked directly to Yang Yan's side like this, the other party should not notice anything right?

There was another reason for this. That was, Xu Ze believed that if the so-called system could give him such a body that was the same as the original world, then naturally there shouldn't be any connection to the past.

His other body had already become a corpse. If Yang Yan knew that his soul had come to this body, then that would be strange.

Xu Ze walked out of the corner and calmly walked towards Yang Yan.

Yang Yan's gaze only had the baby in the nursery. Even if there was a person beside him and that person was his love, he only knew that someone walked over. However, he was even reluctant to peek over with the corner of his eye. There was only his and Xu Ze's child in his eyes, in his heart.

Xu Ze followed Yang Yan's line of sight and looked into the nursery room. He easily found a cute little baby. The little baby seemed to be sleeping with his eyes closed and his little mouth murmured. No matter how one looked at it, it was definitely cute. That little face seemed a bit similar to Yang Yan. It's just that Xu Ze didn't know what the baby looked like with his eyes open.

Xu Ze took out his phone and stood aside for a bit, then started taking pictures of the baby.

After taking them, Xu Ze didn't stay any longer. He came here to see the baby. Now he even had pictures of the baby, which was already a pleasant surprise.

Walking behind Yang Yan, Xu Ze glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye. It seemed that this person had lost quite a bit of weight in a few days. His face looked dark and his beard didn't seem to be shaved whatsoever. The corner of Xu Ze's lips raised. He didn't express anything, nor was it possible to express anything. He hurriedly walked away.

Just as Xu Ze's figure disappeared from the corridor, the baby in the nursery suddenly opened his eyes. After opening his eyes, his black eyes widened as he looked out of the glass window. He looked out before his mouth deflated and he suddenly began to cry.

When the nurse heard the baby's voice, she immediately rushed over to pick up the baby and coax him. Just like when Xu Ze left before, the baby kept crying and cried till his face was flushed red.

However, before Yang Yan was on the way back, unlike right now.

So seeing the baby crying sadly, Yang Yan then entered the nursery after registering his information.

He carried over the baby from the nurse's hand. Yang Yan wasn't very good at holding the baby yet so the nurse taught him how to hold the baby. Yang Yan held the baby's head in one hand and the baby's butt in the other. He held the baby carefully and gently shook. At the same time, the voice coming from his mouth was extremely gentle: "Okay, baby, don't cry, Daddy is here so don't cry!"

Seemingly smelling Yang Yan's scent, the baby blinked his tearful eyes and really stopped crying.

Yang Yan lowered his head and kissed the outside of the baby's swaddling clothes. He took a deep breath. Yang Yan looked at the baby's beautiful peach blossom eyes that were almost identical to Xu Ze's. He only felt that the sadness that had been suppressed not long ago now surged out again.

Xu Ze's corpse was sent back to his hometown by Yang Yan in a specific car. Although Yang Yan loved Xu Ze deeply, he could not make assertions by himself on the disposal of the body.

After the body was transported back, Yang Yan called Xu Ze's parents. The two were not told of what was going on, only a location.

And when Xu Ze's parents came in front of Xu Ze's body, seeing their son who was still alive during the New Year, yet died unexpectedly in the blink of an eye and the cold body that was lying there, neither of Xu Ze's parents wanted to believe this fact.

They were strict with their son, their feelings were controlled and suppressed at all times, and their love for their children was not obvious enough, but after all, this was their own child. The parents had been working hard and saving a lot of money for their child. That money was naturally all saved for Xu Ze.

However, no one thought that Xu Ze would return home in such a way.

Xu Ze's mother staggered to Xu Ze's side. Her hands were trembling as she wanted to touch her son's face. However her fingertips stopped suddenly before touching Xu Ze's pale face. She did not dare to touch it.

She wished that everything in front of her eyes were fake.

Xu Ze's father slowly stepped forward. Compared to Xu Ze's mother's shock, Xu Ze's father was relatively rational, or just seemed rational. Father Xu put his arms around his wife's shoulders and supported her from behind, suppressing the surging emotions in his eyes.

"Who are you? Why did my son die?" Father Xu questioned Yang Yan's identity and the reason for his son's death.

The sadness in Yang Yan's eyes made the entire person look gloomy. His voice was hoarse and intolerable: "Xu Ze died because of me. He died in the hospital. Died after an operation." Yang Yan looked at Father Xu's cold staring eyes. He saw the rage inside was currently tumbling.

Father Xu walked over, grabbed Yang Yan's collar, and smashed his fist harshly into Yang Yan's face.

That punch used a lot of strength and Yang Yan fell to the ground. He tilted his head and spat out blood.

Father Xu walked over a few steps before Yang Yan got up. He grabbed Yang Yan's clothes once more, his eyes were horribly scarlet red.

"My son was completely fine, yet killed by you just like this? You have to accompany his life! You pay him a life!" Father Xu couldn't control his emotions and he roared at Yang Yan.

Behind him, Mother Xu grabbed Xu Ze's icy hand as tears burst out.

Yang Yan wanted to apologize, but the words "I'm sorry" rolled around on the tip of his tongue. Facing Father Xu's sad griefing expression, Yang Yan couldn't apologize to Xu Ze's father.

He killed their child. It wasn't something that a few apologies could make up for.

"I want to call the police and have the police to arrest you murderer. You killed my child! How can you scum get away with the law like this!" Father Xu took out his phone and called the police. He stared at Yang with a pair of fierce and abnormal eyes.

Yang Yan didn't come back alone, there were other people around. Those people walked over but Yang extended his hand, telling them to stop.

The group of people stood. The atmosphere froze for a moment after Xu's father called the police, followed by Mother Xu's bitter sounds.

Mother Xu cried and cried, then suddenly turned around. She rushed in front of Yang Yan and began to hammer Yang Yan, cursing why it was her child who died, not this villain Yang Yan.

In the eyes of the husband and wife, Yang Yan brought back their son's body. Yang Yan took the initiative to admit that it was him or Xu Ze, then Yang Yan was naturally the culprit. All the grief and anger were vented on Yang Yan.

Yang Yan's face was scratched bloody by Mother Xu and his body was beaten constantly by Mother Xu. He did not fight back. Instead, because he was hit, the pain from all over his body made him feel that the self-blame and guilt in his heart could get some relief.

Yang Yan really wanted to die. On a certain dark silent night, while standing on the balcony, he really thought about it.

He didn't know that he loved Xu Ze this deeply and this densely. Xu Ze's sudden departure seemed to also take away Yang Yan's heart and soul.

Every day after that, when Yang Yan got up from the bed, the world he saw seemed to have suddenly lost color. From fresh bright colors to dull gray.

And only when he saw the baby would that color be a bit brighter.

The baby was exchanged by Xu Ze using his own life. Yang Yan regarded the baby as his life's treasure. Xu Ze was already gone and the child already no longer had a papa. Yang Yan put away his thoughts of suicide. He still had to take care of the baby and let the baby grow up healthy and safely.

The fist that fell on his body seemed to never stop, but Mother Xu was tired from hitting later. The strength of her fist became lighter.

---

The police car came very quickly. After seeing the scene in front of him, he asked what the situation was.

Mother Xu was sobbing and choking while her voice was out of breath. Father Xu hugged Mother Xu as he told the police about the general situation, pointing to Yang Yan and saying that the other party was a murderer.

The police saw that Yang Yan's clothes were expensive and that he was also handsome and tall. However, at this time he looked like a mess and there was blood on his face. Yet his expression was calm, so he went over and asked Yang Yan what happened.

Yang Yan didn't say much. He handed the death certificate about Xu Ze issued by the hospital and some related information to the police. Since he came back with the corpse, Yang Yan thought about the possible situation in advance.

When the police saw Xu Ze's death certificate. It proved that Xu Ze was accidentally killed after an operation and had nothing to do with Yang Yan. The police handed over the papers to Father Xu.

After receiving the paper, Father Xu looked at it carefully. When he saw that Xu Ze had undergone a c-section then never woke up again, Father Xu couldn't hide his shock.

He slowly raised his eyes to look at Yang Yan who stood across from him. He couldn't understand why his son would have a c-section surgery.

In fact, Yang Yan didn't want to tell Xu Ze's parents about the child. Knowing that their son was pregnant and gave birth to a child like a woman, based on Xu Ze's parents' conservative ideals, they definitely wouldn't easily accept it. But now that Xu Ze had left and the baby was Xu Ze's child, Yang Yan knew that as the baby's grandparents, they had the right to know about the baby's existence.

This little life should meet his other family members.

The baby was held by a professional nanny and sat in a nanny car. The car was not parked here but parked at a spot farther away. Yang Yan gestured towards the other side. The car door opened and the nanny carefully held the sleeping baby as they got off.

The baby already passed a full moon. He was a very healthy, lively and naughty little cutie. In theory, it was best not to take the baby out, but Yang Yan still took him. A nurse from the hospital was arranged to accompany and help take care of the baby's body.

The nanny came over with the baby in her arms while deliberately avoiding Xu Ze's body. After coming over, she didn't get too close but stood at a farther position.

Yang Yan raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth as he said to Xu Ze's parents, "That is Xu Ze's child. Mine and Xu Ze's child."

The husband and wife looked at each other, shocked by the sudden appearance of this matter.

But even if they were shocked and felt unbelievable, they still walked towards the baby.

The baby's small body was wrapped in a swaddle and his face was covered with a small soft towel. The towel was a little distance away and would not hinder the baby's breathing.

Mother Xu gently removed the towel and a very cute and tender white face appeared in her sight.

Very strangely, at the moment of seeing the child, there seemed to be a voice telling the husband and wife that this baby was their grandson.

Mother Xu gently touched the baby's little hand. The sadness in her heart because of seeing the baby seemed to split open a hole at a certain instant.

Xu Ze's funeral was handled quickly and the coffin was buried not long after.

Standing in the cemetery, Yang Yan saw the dark coffin sinking to the bottom. He knew that from now on, he really lost Xu Ze and Xu Ze would never come back again.

Xu Ze's parents did not forgive Yang Yan. Even if they knew that Xu Ze's death was not directly caused by Yang Yan, they did not give Yang Yan a good face at all. Even when Yang Yan carried the child to their home, expressing to the two that he'll be filial to them in place of Xu Ze, and if he had more children he would let the baby follow XU Ze's surname, surnamed Xu.

In the eyes of the husband and wife, the child was Yang Yan's seed. Although the baby was indeed cute, it couldn't hide the fact that Xu Ze died because of giving birth to the baby. Half of Yang Yan's blood was flowing in the baby's body, so it couldn't be regarded as the seed of their Xu family.

The husband and wife asked Yang Yan to leave. They didn't need him to be filial to them. They had nothing to do with each other.

Being kicked out of the house, Yang Yan was standing outside the door. The baby had drank milk just before coming over. At this time he was sleeping soundly with his little mouth pouting.

Yang Yan bowed in the direction of the closed door then left with the baby in his arms.

Walking downstairs, the car was parked on the side of the road. When Yang Yan was about to get into the car, he suddenly stopped. He found that someone seemed to be looking at him. Yang Yan looked all around. Pedestrians came and went, but no one looked at him.

It must be his own misconception. At some points, Yang Yan would have a kind of feeling that Xu Ze was still alive somewhere he didn't know.

He knew that feeling was a misconception, but Yang Yan was not going to do anything about it. Because at least he could use this way to give himself a bit of psychological comfort.

The car took Yang Yan and the baby away.

In fact, as long as he looked at the back of the car at that time, he would be able to see a familiar face. A face he had seen in the hospital's nursery room not long ago.

But unfortunately, fate destined him to lose his love forever.

Xu Ze had been back a few days before Yang Yan and had been staying in a hotel not far from the home. The entrance to the community could be seen from the hotel window. In the room, Xu Ze had seen the parents of the original host who went in and out from time to time.

Xu Ze had a brief contact with the husband and wife during the Chinese New Year. At that time, he was wearing the shell of 'Xu Ze'. To him, the affection he had for the two of them were probably a little more than strangers.

Him coming here was just to wait for a result. Waiting for the original host's body to be transported back by Yang Yan for burial.

The European Emperor's attributes were loaded on Xu Ze by the system, so he was very lucky. Xu Ze didn't wait for a few days before Yang Yan arrived.

To Xu Ze's surprise, Yang Yan also brought back the child. Xu Ze couldn't hear what Yang Yan and the husband and wife said since they were far away. However it was obvious that the husband and wife knew the child was born to him.

But it seemed to be due to the relation to Yang Yan, the couple did not accept this child.

To be honest, it was fine if they didn't accept it. After all, if the child was really brought up by them, it's afraid that it would be the same as the original host. It was very difficult to change a person's ideals. Once it was deeply ingrained, it was impossible to change it again.

After the burial, Xu Ze walked into the cemetery once every person left. He stood in front of a newly erected tombstone with a familiar smiling face on it. The smiling face belonged to the original host, not Xu Ze.

At the start, Xu Ze had asked the system where the original host's soul had gone. The system told Xu Ze that the original host had gone to another world.

Afterwards Xu Ze did not ask any further questions. It was enough that he knew the original host was doing well in other worlds.

They were all independent individuals with different fates. Occasionally, the strings of fate had a little intersection. After the intersection, they should be unrelated once more.

When Yang Yan took the baby away in the car, Xu Ze walked out. His smile was soaked in his bright eyes.

After that, Xu Ze knew that whether it was Yang Yan or the baby, their strings of fate should also be separated.

Baby, I have been your papa for more than nine months. I hope you will be healthy and happy in the future!

This was Xu Ze's only hope for the baby.

Although Xu Ze and that other father and son lived in the same city, even driving between them only took a few dozen minutes, they never met again nor did they have any intersection.

Xu Ze was essentially a designer. Although he had several million in his hand, enough for him to last ten years, and at the same time adding the attributes of the European emperor let Xu Ze win lottery tickets, gambling and win it all, but Xu Ze's desire to add on to the huge wealth was actually not so strong.

He was only staying for ten years. After ten years, he would have to leave this world. He as a person had too much money and nowhere to spend.

And a day after another was spent doing nothing other than just spending money. He seemed like he was wasting time.

Xu Ze used his expertise to pick up some jobs on an online platform. The value of people was reflected in the creation of value. After going back and forth, he met friends on the Internet. Friends on the Internet sometimes had better compatibility than in reality.

If after a few talks that were incompatible, then they'll just cut off contact.

Some of the friends he knew were from the local area. Once they got to know each other, they naturally made an IRL appointment for dinner or to play around.

The friend Xu Ze knew seemed to have bright personalities and could be considered complementary to Xu Ze.

When they first met, his friend didn't believe Xu Ze when they saw the real person, thinking that he was not Xu Ze.

Because in his eyes, most of the designers should be big guys. Unexpectedly, Xu Ze was not only not, but just based on his appearance, he could make his debut as a star directly.

Xu Ze smiled: "Forget about being a star, I'm not interested in the entertainment industry."

He had known the friend for more than two years before the two finally met offline.

Everyone chatted and they often met for dinner. The friend was also single but recently, he was chasing a girl and asked Xu Ze to go out and accompany him to choose Valentine's Day gifts for the girl.

Xu Ze joked with his friend: "You know I like men and you asked me to help you choose?" It was obvious that the wrong person was chosen for choosing a girl's gift.

The friend didn't take it seriously: "You have a good eye, unlike me who can't pick out anything special."

Xu Ze raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it because I'm handsome?" So whatever he wore was suitable for him. The so-called clothes were entirely due to Xu Ze's handsome appearance.

"Please be a bit more humble." The friend gave Xu Ze a look of contempt.

Xu Ze shook his head, occasionally bickering with his friend put him in a happy mood: "That won't work, I'm born with this face."

"Ah!" The friend nearly rolled his eyes.

After eating the small hot pot, the two went to the store downstairs together. They saw a boutique shop not far away and planned to go in and have a look.

As they were walking, a one-two year old little baby ran over from the side. He ran too fast and didn't notice someone in front of him. It also happened to be a corner so the baby bumped into Xu Ze.

Woo! The baby's head hit Xu Ze's leg and it hurted. His eyes were red immediately. Xu Ze looked surprised as he bent down to ask if the baby was okay.

The baby sobbed a sound, but even if his mouth was deflated and his eyes were red, he didn't cry out.

And when Xu Ze saw the baby's clearly familiar peach blossom eyes, his heart skipped a beat.

"Little Ze, don't run so fast! Now look! You've bumped into someone!" After more than two years, when he heard a familiar voice once more, Xu Ze only felt that this city was too small. When Xu Ze raised his eyes to look over at the other party, his pupils suddenly shrank.

---

Xu Ze did not expect to meet Yang Yan in this way after more than two years. The man came out from behind the corner. Tall and long legged, a shirt with a simple style but exquisite workmanship on his upper body, and gray-brown casual pants on his lower. The simple outfit made the entire person look tall and big. His sword eyebrows and star eyes created a powerful aura.

Because of the loving smile on his face at this time, there was also a gentle warmth surrounding his body.

At first, Yang Yan's gaze was lovingly looking at the baby who bumped into Xu Ze. Only after he walked over, did his gaze move slightly upwards on to Xu Ze.

However at that time, Xu Ze had already controlled his expression so Yang Yan didn't find that slightest bit of surprise.

"Sorry, my child accidentally bumped into you, I hope you won't mind. Little Ze, apologize to uncle!" Yang Yan squatted down and picked up his son who was still sniffing with red eyes. He had the baby apologize to Xu Ze.

The baby's face was sad and unhappy, but he still obeyed his dad's words and obediently apologized to Xu Ze.

"I'm sorry, uncle!" The baby was already more than two years old so he spoke quite clearly, but that milky soft sound unique to children was still very obvious.

The little face looked very wronged, but with the appearance of seriously apologizing, as long as their a person their heart would become soft. Not to mention this baby, after Yang Yan appeared, when he saw the baby's peach blossom eyes that were printed in the same mold as 'his', Xu Ze knew that this child was the one he gave birth to in the hospital two years ago.

"It's okay. Remember to slow down when walking in the future. It was still fine to bump into people, but what if you bump into something else? What will you do if you get hurt from the bump? Your dad will be worried." Xu Ze reached out and rubbed the baby's hair. Because this was the baby birthed by him, although Xu Ze didn't love Yang Yan, he still had a certain feeling for this baby.

Suddenly meeting in this way without warning, that emotion of inner restraint, and the love for the baby, Xu Ze suddenly and without control touched the baby's hair.

Holding his son, when Xu Ze reached over his hand, Yang Yan's expression changed slightly. He was just about to remind the other party when Xu Ze had already gently rubbed the baby's hair.

Yang Yan looked down at his child. This little guy looked docile and well-behaved, but there was one thing about his personality. That he didn't like strangers touching him very much. This stranger who suddenly appeared, his face was completely unfamiliar, did have a very handsome appearance. But in Yang Yan's eyes, it was incomparable to that person in his heart.

Perhaps it was some kind of air surrounding the youth, that kind of air made people's hearts warm and calm. It was like the cool wind blowing through the mountains and forests. Yang Yan's gaze stared at Xu Ze for a moment.

After taking his hand back, Xu Ze seemed to realize that his behavior was a little inappropriate. He looked toward Yang Yan then exposed a slight smile to express his apologies.

Yang Yan's eyes had some slight fluctuation because this smile gave him a vaguely familiar feeling, including where Yang Yan thought he had seen this face. However he couldn't remember the specific place. Just when Yang Yan was about to say something, a word from the side cut in.

"Hey, this is your child? He's too cute, just like a doll." Xu Ze's friend put his arms around Xu Ze's shoulders as he asked Yang Yan.

Yang Yan looked at Xu Ze's friend.

The friend stared at the cute little face of the baby, as well as that pair of pretty peach blossom eyes.

"The face looks like you. Then this pair of peach blossom eyes is probably like his mother? His mother must be a great beauty." The friend speculated after looking for a while.

The person praised as a great beauty pursed his lips slightly. At the same time he continued to not bat an eyelid.

"I don't have a mom!" Suddenly the baby shouted out with a deflated mouth. His voice was crisp, but his expression was obviously angry and his little face pouted like a little puffer fish.

"How don't you have a mom?" the friend said, intending to poke the baby's little face with his hand.

Both Yang Yan and Xu Ze reached out to stop him and then Yang Yan's hand touched Xu Ze's.

Xu Ze quickly took his hand away. Yang Yan's brows were slightly raised by the subconscious reaction. When he looked at Xu Ze again, his gaze changed a bit because he realized that the handsome young man in front of him was probably a homosexual.

"Weren't you buying a Valentine's Day gift for someone?" Xu Ze reminded his friend.

The friend was stunned for a moment, then he patted his head: "I would've really forgotten if you didn't remind me."

"Then little cutie, uncles are leaving first, remember to watch where you're going in the future." The friend held Xu Ze and turned to leave.

The baby opened his eyes wide and stared at Xu Ze who was leaving. He was too little to describe the kind of feeling in his heart. When he approached that gentle sound, warm smile uncle, the baby liked the feeling around him.

But the person beside uncle, the baby really hated him. He didn't have a mom. What he hated the most was people bringing up mom to him.

Thinking of mom, the baby's eyes turned red again.

Although the baby was little, his mind was very precocious. He knew a lot of things. He knew that his mother left him when he was born and would never come back again.

"Daddy…" The baby turned his head and buried his little face on his dad's shoulder, feeling aggrieved and sad.

The baby was too smart and too sensitive, making Yang Yan feel relieved and helpless at the same time. Because of the person who left, whenever he thought of the other party, his heart would also hurt slightly.

It was said that time was the best medicine, but even after two years, the scene where Xu Ze left him still seemed like yesterday.

Yang Yan hugged the baby and softly patted the baby's back.

"Didn't you say you want to see goldfishes? Are you still going?" Originally, Yang Yan brought the baby out to have dinner with some relatives. After the meal, the baby couldn't sit still. Taking Yang Yan's hand, he said he wanted to see goldfishes.

Yang Yan completely loved the baby, holding him in the palm of his hand. Since Xu Ze left, the baby has become the most important person to him. Whatever the baby wanted, Yang Yan would always satisfy him.

"Then can I raise them?" The baby raised his little face. The tip of his nose was also turned red because of the sadness just now.

Yang Yan's heart was as soft as cotton, as he squeezed the baby's little hand: "Of course you can."

"Thank you Daddy!" The baby's smile broke through the tears.

Yang Yan put the baby on the ground, held the baby's little hand, and walked to the goldfish shop.

Just two steps away, the baby suddenly stopped walking. Yang Yan's heart was curious so he turned around and bent over to ask the baby if there was anything else.

"Daddy, the uncle just now…" The baby looked in the direction where Xu Ze left. His ability to express was limited so he didn't know what words to use for a while.

"En, what about that uncle?" Yang Yan waited patiently for the baby to finish speaking.

The baby blinked his cute peach blossom eyes and he said in his milky voice, "Can we meet again?" He wanted to meet Xu Ze again. He liked Xu Ze.

"Baby like him?" Yang Yan couldn't help but be surprised in his heart. This was the first time that the baby had expressed to him that he liked another person, and it was even a stranger.

"En, like!" The feeling turned out to be "like". The baby raised his smiling face.

"Of course, you'll meet again." Yang Yan said to the baby. Even if there was no such encounter in the future, he could still create encounters. As long as his baby wanted to.

The baby immediately nodded his head heavily and he took the initiative to hold his father's hand tightly: "Let's go buy goldfish."

The father and son, as the little hand held the big hand, walked in the opposite direction from Xu Ze and the other.

When he walked far away, Xu Ze stopped a little and he looked towards Yang Yan father and son. From the relationship between the big and small, it was obvious that the father and son had a deep relationship. The baby was especially attached to Yang Yan.

Xu Ze suddenly laughed when he thought of a certain thing. He thought that he had definitely not heard it wrong just now. Yang Yan called the baby Little Ze' Little Ze. The Ze from his Ze?

Yang Yan really could name people.

The chance encounter here was completely a coincidence. There should be no such coincidences in the future. Being able to see that the baby was safe and healthy just like Xu Ze's hope at the beginning and knowing that Yang Yan would take good care of the baby, Xu Ze was relieved by a lot.

Taking back his thoughts, Xu Ze accompanied his friend into a boutique shop. Originally, it was for the friend to choose a Valentine's Day gift for the girl he was pursuing. After shopping around in the store, he found that there were quite a few good looking gifts. When they left, Xu Ze himself bought more than his friend.

What he said was that his house was a little empty, so he bought some things to go back and decorate it.

The friend knew about Xu Ze's sexuality. When he asked Xu Ze at the beginning, he asked about Xu Ze's condition. It was probably not a problem of what kind of girl he wanted to find, but why he didn't see Xu Ze's approach girls. At that time, his friend looked below Xu Ze's body. He didn't say it, but the expression was obvious enough. That was, he doubted whether Xu Ze was able to or not.

Of course it wasn't that Xu Ze wasn't able to. He occasionally made a self-help meal for himself to eat. His body was in good health without any problems at all.

"Then why is that?" How can a self-help meal be as delicious as a two-person meal? The friend didn't believe it.

Then Xu Ze said to his friend with a slight smiling tone, "I like men!"

The friend was startled at that time, followed by him covering his body with his hands. He even said quite playfully: "Do you have any thoughts towards me? I tell you, you shouldn't think about it, I'm a straight man that's straight as a steel bar!"

The friend's playfulness rather suddenly reminded Xu Ze of a certain former classmate. That kind of familiarity made Xu Ze laugh more happily.

The friend quickly ducked back, very suspicious that Xu Ze was coveting his body.

Following closely behind the play, Xu Ze looked up and down, sizing his friend's body with eyes that were measuring values of a product. Then made his review: "You can rest assured, I'm not interested ub ones like you, so short and so small!"

"Hey hey, just talk properly when you talk, don't attack people's bodies." The friend quit. No man liked to be attacked with short and small. This involved the matter of a man's dignity.

"I'm only just stating a fact." Xu Ze had an upright face yet spoke piercing words..

It was only then that the friend finally saw Xu Ze's personality clearly.

After that, the friend began to be keen to introduce men to Xu Ze. However they were all rejected by Xu Ze for one reason–-too ugly.

The friend seriously suspected that Xu Ze had aesthetic problems. For the 1s he introduced, the friend had asked about Xu Ze's number and Xu Ze said that he was 0. Although those 1s were not comparable to famous stars, they were still quite popular in the 0 circle. Yet Xu Ze said they were ugly. The friend wanted to take Xu Ze to the ophthalmologist to see a doctor to correct his misplaced aesthetic.

Although they didn't go to the ophthalmologist, later the friend didn't bother to find an old gong for Xu Ze anymore. He let Xu Ze continue to eat his boring self-help meal as a single dog.

Coming out of the boutique shop and walking the way back, they came to a certain junction just now. The friend remembered what happened here. It seemed that the baby's dad was very handsome, tall and good looking, dignified and stylish, almost like a male fashion model. The temperament was also much better than that of a male fashion model. There was a vague aura of superior authority on his body. The watch that was on his wrist, the friend recalled a little, seemed to be worth more than seven figures.

"By the way, how about that kid's father from before? You don't think that kind of man is also ugly, do you?" The friend and Xu Ze were walking when the friend turned his head and asked an unexpected question.

The friend stared at Xu Ze's expression, completely expressing, "If you dare say ugly again, I'd seriously doubt that your eyes aren't broken."

Xu Ze's eyes were not broken. Who asked that with the 1s the friend introduced before, one or two of them almost directly said the words that they wanted to sleep him. Yes, Xu Ze admited that there were not many true loves in the homosexual circle. Many were just playing and making friends with benefits. But Xu Ze didn't have that need at the moment. If really wanted to, he alone ate several months of high class delicious feast. Towards these normal and even street-vander cheap food, he really wasn't interested.

He was afraid that after eating it, not to mention that his stomach would be ruined, he would also ruin his body.

En. No. The system said that in his reward he was free from disaster and pain. Although there was this setting, Xu Ze still did not have any interest.

At the beginning, the demand was that strong. The main reason was that while he was bearing a child, the him that was pregnant liked to eat two-person meals.

Now, the self-help meal could satisfy Xu Ze's need for meat.

His friend Gao Cheng was still waiting on the side for Xu Ze's answer. Xu Ze squinted slightly as if thinking about how to answer.

Now that I think of it, with Xu Ze's luck, if he didn't want to see Yang Yan and the child at all, they would never ever meet.

However, they did. So did Xu Ze want to see the child again? But it's been 2 years since his declaration to have their paths never crossed again. I guess he missed the child?

Also, the beginning of this chapter confirmed that Yang Yan is outside with the child without any bodyguards. Very stupid considering that Yang Yan is from a rich family and is very rich himself.

I'm assuming that this world doesn't do kidnapping at all, otherwise the child would be gone in an instant without any bodyguards.

I very much pity the child in almost every single arc.

He does not deserve any of this trauma, from this entire drama, of his papa and mama, creating a whole dilemma.

I don't know why I made that rhyme, but I did like the announcement I made on CG discord. I guess I'm in a musical mood this week.

Also I think we still don't have any confirmation of the child's name, other than Ze. Is the surname Yang making the child's name Yang Ze? God I hope not.

---

Pretty handsome." Xu Ze said.

Hearing this answer, Gao Cheng finally felt that Xu Ze was a normal person.

"I really thought that there was something wrong with your aesthetics. However it's really a pity, such a handsome man's child is already able to get soy sauce. You don't have a chance!" Gao Cheng pretended to say pitifully.

"What's there to pity? It's only you that's restless. I'll be satisfied with a self-help meal once in a while. You better be careful or else you'll get early kidney deficiency!" Xu Ze gave Gao Cheng a sideways glance and hurried forward before Gao Cheng replied.

His two long legs walked so fast that he was about to leave Gao Cheng behind in the blink of an eye.

Gao Cheng shook his head and laughed, then chased behind Xu Ze.

On the road, Gao Cheng asked Xu Ze if he was spending Valentine's Day alone again, and whether or not Xu Ze wanted him to give up a bit of time to accompany Xu Ze.

Xu Ze pushed his elbow over, causing Gao Cheng to groan in pain. Xu Ze simply replied "Leave". Gao Cheng pretended to be hurt and wept tears.

Xu Ze ignored Gao Cheng who was acting. He went downstairs and walked to the car parked on the side of the road. When he went to get a driver's license, he bought a car at the same time. Xu Ze had not calculated the specific amount of his current deposit. Since due to his European emperor attribute, if Xu Ze made any investment, he would always make money. However, Xu Ze still had a sense of measure. Even if he wanted to, how much he made wouldn't be a problem. Xu Ze was not so greedy. He, one single person, slept on a two-meter wide bed. It's only when he spread his arms and legs that the entire bed was filled. So from Xu Ze's view, having enough money was just fine.

When he separated from Gao Cheng, it was already dark. Xu Ze drove his car home. When he got home, he placed the purchased decorations in the corresponding positions. He then went to the bedroom to grab pajamas before showering.

When he wore his pajamas, the time was still early. Gao Cheng sent a text message. Xu Ze glanced at it before chatting a few words with the other party. Afterwards they didn't talk much.

Sitting in front of the desk, Xu Ze had some basic drawing skills. He was a freelancer, not bound by any company rules, so he could arrange the time freely. He occasionally drew, but such occasions were still very rare.

He accidentally met the baby in the mall today, and suddenly he wanted to draw a portrait of the baby.

Xu Ze took out the white paper and pencil, lowered his head and began to sketch. The baby's eyes were a pair of peach blossom eyes. Xu Ze was very familiar with those eyes. As for the baby's small face, although it was still not very obvious, the outline was like Yang Yan. And not long after the pencil landed, from the white paper appeared the baby's cute little face followed by Xu Ze drawing the body and limbs.

Although it was not as good as a professional artist, this drawing was drawn with sincerity by Xu Ze. The characters in the painting were strangely vivid.

Picking up the drawing paper and staring at the baby's cute little face inside, Xu Ze suddenly had a kind of urge to hug his baby.

Knowing that this idea was impossible to achieve, Xu Ze took a slow breath and then slowly exhaled.

He put away the drawn portrait. This was the past of this world. Now he had a new identity and a new life. He does not need to have any relationship with the past.

At the same time, Xu Ze sealed up the drawn paper together with his thoughts about the baby

Xu Ze alone knew about his transmigrated identity and the fact that he died and changed his body. He would not reveal it to anyone. The system's settings for Xu Ze's identity were quite complete. The past of Xu Ze's body was also fully prepared, so there was no need to worry about anyone investigating.

A few days after that, the friend Gao Cheng asked Xu Ze to go to a bar for a drink. Speaking of which, during the first few months of his pregnancy, Xu Ze didn't drink a drop of wine. This also included tea, because it was not good for the child so Xu Ze never drank it. When he went out to eat with classmates, the classmates drank so they asked Xu Ze why he didn't drink. Xu Ze always found an excuse. Now there was no need. His body was healthier than ever. He could eat anything and he no longer had to worry about his once pregnant body.

What Xu Ze usually had more of was time. The friend he had made probably knew Xu Ze's situation. Although Xu Ze was not wearing expensive clothes since Xu Ze's dressing habits were mainly focused on comfort, Xu Ze had never been concerned about money. The friend knew that Xu Ze should have quite a bit of money.

Though based on the people Xu Ze knew, that probably answered that money question. It's said that similar people gather in groups. If the person Xu Ze was in contact with was not a rich second generation, then it was a dismantling second generation.

Everyone's economic situation was basically the same. It also seemed that there were few obstacles to communication.

Xu Ze didn't have anything to do at night. He occasionally came out to drink, but not very often. The bar had red lights and green wine and there was a lot of hustle and bustle. Not to mention most of the people inside, there were a portion of the people with the mentality of hunting for beauty. Of course, everyone was an adult and both physically and mentally healthy. It was normal to have needs.

It's just that for two-person meals, Xu Ze was still more keen on seal-help meals at the moment. Even if the amount of his self-help meal wasn't much, at least it wasn't as much as when he was pregnant.

Xu Ze didn't drive to the bar since after he drank, he'll have to find a chauffeur. He took a taxi and rushed to the bar that Gao Cheng said.

Xu Ze had never been to this bar before so it was his first time here. As soon as he entered, the noisy sound and the flashing lights made Xu Ze's brows jump. Gao Cheng told Xu Ze about his approximate location. After entering the bar, Xu Ze stood in the crowd looking for him.

Before he could find Gao Cheng, he was bumped into by someone who didn't really look at the road. This collision made Xu Ze think of the scene where a little guy bumped into him not long ago, so Xu Ze didn't feel angry.

It was a girl who bumped into Xu Ze. The girl immediately panicked and apologized when she realized that she had bumped into someone.

There was a lot of noise in the bar, so Xu Ze couldn't clearly hear the girl's sorry. Although he didn't hear it, he knew that the girl was apologizing by looking at the other party's mouth and demeanor.

Xu Ze shook his head and smiled lightly: "It's okay." His gaze fell on the girl's face, only to find that the girl suddenly looked shy and her eyes were staring at him with a slight glow.

After Xu Ze nodded slightly, he walked past the girl.

After Xu Ze walked away for a while, only then did the girl suddenly react. She turned her head and wanted to find Xu Ze in the crowd. She had never seen such a gorgeous handsome boy. The shallow smile ran directly into the girl's heart. The girl thought that she seemed to see snowflakes falling from the sky, so white and beautiful. She inhaled slowly, unable to control her beating heart.

But after looking for a long time, the girl couldn't find Xu Ze. Her expression instantly became lost as she went back to her friend. The friend saw the girl leave for a moment yet came back weird, so she asked her what was wrong.

The girl raised her eyes and wanted to tell her friend that she had just met a top-class handsome guy, that she fell in love with that person at first sight. After thinking about it, the girl decided not to say anything.

But after that, that face would always occupy the girl's heart, making the girl become absent-minded.

After separating from the girl, Xu Ze hadn't taken two steps when Gao Cheng suddenly stood up from a position and waved to Xu Ze. Passing through the crowd, Xu Ze walked to Gao Cheng. It was not just Gao Cheng, but also some of his friends and a few unfamiliar faces.

After seeing Xu Ze appear, those few people stared at Xu Ze's face with varying degrees of surprise and amazement.

Especially a certain one of them, that gaze could even be considered blatant. When Xu Ze looked over, the young man leaned back slightly. His posture was a little lazy as he lightly smiled and greeted Xu Ze.

Xu Ze looked at the other person's pair of slanted fox-like eyes. Xu Ze was relatively sensitive to other people's gazes. Almost instantly, he sensed something familiar from the fox-eyed man, which was that the other party liked men.

Perhaps because of Xu Ze's face, the young man instantly became a bit interested in Xu Ze.

It didn't matter if the young man was interested, Xu Ze didn't mind others staring at him. However if they wanted to do something, then forgive him for not complying.

Xu Ze sat down as Gao Cheng took an empty glass, poured a bit of wine to wash the glass first. Only then did he fill it up for Xu Ze.

Gao Cheng introduced some of his friends to Xu Ze. As for Xu Ze, Gao Cheng had mentioned Xu Ze to his friends before he came here. The friends basically all knew that Xu Ze was a friend Gao Cheng met online.

They didn't expect that there was still such a beautiful person on the Internet. Generally speaking, they are all dead from seeing light. Not only did Xu Ze not die from seeing the light, on the contrary, this appearance was really in the top three out of the beauties that the friends had seen over the years.

Everyone was about the same age, so they sat and drank together. Even if some of them had never met before and it was the first time they met each other, drinking friends don't need so many requirements, just being happy from drinking was enough.

The body that the system gave Xu Ze had a quite good drinking capacity. This point Xu Ze was very sure of. But as far as he was concerned, he liked the feeling of having control of everything in the palm of his hands. He didn't like losing control.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Xu Ze would not let himself get drunk.

This thing called wine, just drinking for fun was enough. If one drank too much, they'll hurt their body. He had no emotional injury that needed treatment nor did he have any troubles in work, so he won't get himself drunk.

Of course, just drinking was a little less interesting. Some people run to the dance floor to dance after sitting for a while, which at the same time could be considered hunting. Xu Ze stayed sitting and didn't go. He didn't care for the body sticking to body scenes on the dance floor. Though the little snacks provided by the bar were alright.

Xu Ze took the small snacks and ate quite a bit.

In the middle, Gao Cheng went to the bathroom. That fox-eyed young man came over and sat beside Xu Ze.

There were English songs playing in the bar. They talked very close to each other, otherwise they could only look at their mouths. The main point was that there were not many people who could read lips. So naturally, the young man came close to Xu Ze's ear. He used a tone that contained a smile and said to Xu Ze: "I heard Cheng-zi say that you gamble very well and have never seen you lose. How about we play a few games?"

The young man invited Xu Ze to play dice with him.

Xu Ze was not used to others being so close to him. Not to mention this person even looked at him as if he was staring at his prey, which gave Xu Ze a feeling like he was already the other party's meal.

However, Xu Ze reached out his hand and picked up a dice on the table, holding it with his fingertips as he started to play with it.

Xu Ze raised his lips and looked at the young man who was close range with deep meaning. In the eyes of the young man, he only felt that Xu Ze was deliberately seducing him.

"How do you want to play?" The European Emperor physique added by the system wasn't exaggerated. He could even win by guessing blindly with his eyes closed.

The young man wanted to play with him, but he found the wrong person.

"How about going outside and taking off your shirt then running for five minutes after losing a round?" The young man was obviously someone who knew how to play. After digging the pit, he felt that Xu Ze would definitely jump in.

"Do you have exhibitionist tendencies?" Xu Ze rolled his eyes and even deliberately sized up the young man. His eyes were equivalent to saying, "You really can't judge a person by their looks."

This reaction of Xu Ze was beyond the expectation of the young man. He thought that Xu Ze would be a little unhappy, but it seemed that Xu Ze's inside was a bit different from the outside.

However if it was like this, then it seemed to make the young man even more interested.

"Of course, if you don't like this mode of punishment, then why don't we change it to the loser taking the initiative to kiss the winner for five minutes? How about that?" The young man's tone was soft, however he stared at Xu Ze as if he had already won.

"Alright!" Xu Ze nodded.

The cup was held by the young man and began to shake. After shaking for a while, it was placed on the table.

Before starting to guess, Xu Ze suddenly reminded the young man, "It's a little cold outside tonight."

The young man was stunned at first, then realized what Xu Ze meant.

"Don't worry, my body's in good health, but you on the other hand, I think your body is a little thin." The young man said as he reached out and held Xu Ze's wrist.

The young man's hand retreated quickly. He probably knew that Xu Ze didn't like it, just that Xu Ze didn't show too much expression. However, it was exactly Xu Ze's kind of expression that brought along a bit of coldness that made the young man very much look forward to the following loss or win.

---

Gao Cheng, who came back from the bathroom, saw the young man sitting next to Xu Ze. He then noticed that the two seemed to be playing a game of dice. Gao Cheng put his hand on the young man's shoulder and asked, "What's the matter with you? Did you forget what I told you before? Xu Ze wins ten bets out of ten. He as a person is very lucky, completely inhuman. You should be careful, else you'll even lose your pants!"

Gao Cheng turned to look at Xu Ze again and Xu Ze's expression was calm. When Gao Cheng and Xu Ze were playing cards, he thought that Xu Ze's card skills were average. Yet as a result he lost miserably in Xu Ze's hands. He lost to the point where he questioned if he could actually play cards at all.

"You're exaggerating so much. If he's really that lucky, I'd be willing to admit defeat." Wang Yan replied.

Even this time, Wang Yan still felt that he would not lose.

But what happened next made him see clearly that the warning Gao Cheng gave him was real. Xu Ze was simply not a normal person.

Sometimes Xu Ze lowered his head and drank without raising his eyes to look, yet he then easily defeated Wang Yan.

Whether it was Wang Yan first or Xu Ze first, the result did not change. Xu Ze won.

"You said so yourself, run for five minutes per loss. Have you counted it yet? How many minutes do you have to run now?" After winning another round, Xu Ze slightly lifted his eyes. Amusement was filled in those bright eyes. He looked at Wang Yan and asked him the time.

Before Wang Yan opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, Xu Ze interrupted the other party again: "As for the kiss there's no need. I have this need for the time being."

Wang Yan's pupils shrank when he saw Xu Ze being so straightforward.

"Then if you have needs someday, you can consider me first!" Wang Yan really wanted to taste such a big beauty.

"Before that, first take off your shirt and go out for a few laps, or is it that you can't afford your loss?" Xu Ze grinned with a playful look in his eyes.

"Why can't I afford it? Forty minutes, I lost to you eight times. I'll go run right now." Wang Yan said as he got up.

"Hey hey hey, what's the situation? Can someone explain it to me?" Gao Cheng was confused about what he heard.

Xu Ze smiled at Gao Cheng: "I made a bet with Wang Yan. The loser has to go outside and run shirtless. He lost, so he's going outside to run. Gao Cheng, you can come along and watch it play out."

Gao Cheng understood what was going on and looked at Wang Yan in shock. After a while he shook his head and laughed uncontrollably.

"I already warned you and now look, this is the result of you not believing me." Of course Gao Cheng liked to watch the shirtless run drama, so he did not meditate in the middle.

Since there was a good show to watch, Xu Ze followed and got up. The few people walked out of the bar and out to the street. Although it was early autumn, it had rained a few times recently. The temperature was a bit on the lower side at night, so everyone wore two layers of clothes.

Wang Yan quickly took off his jacket, and then took off the T-shirt with the pullover.

He gave his clothes to Xu Ze and motioned for Xu Ze to hold them for him. On the other side, Gao Cheng went to drive his car. He planned to go along beside Wang Yan while he and Xu Ze sat in the car to watch.

But how to say it, coincidences were always so unexpected.

Before Gao Cheng's car came over, another black car drove up and stopped in front of Xu Ze and Wang Yan.

The rear window opened and inside was a solemn and stern face. The man's dark gaze went back and forth between Wang Yan and Xu Ze. It went back and forth several times and then settled on Xu Ze's calm, insipid and delicate face.

It's not clear what's happening, but Yang Yan frowned slightly when he noticed that the clothes in Xu Ze's hands belonged to the shirtless young man.

Pushing open the car door and getting out of the car, Yang Yan arrived in front of Xu Ze in a few steps with his long legs.

Wang Yan, who was next to Xu Ze, saw an unfamiliar man appear and the other party also stared at Xu Ze. When the other party approached, Wang Yan took a step in front of Xu Ze, blocking Yang Yan's sight.

The aura surrounding Yang Yan spread and even Wang Yan felt a sliver of pressure.

Separated by Wang Yan, Yang Yan did not force Wang Yan to get out of the way. He said to Xu Ze, who was behind Wang Yan: "What a coincidence to meet right here."

Xu Ze didn't know Yang Yan's specific reason for coming here. The corners of his mouth pursed, not making a sound immediately.

"My son, that kid who bumped into you before. I also don't know why but he likes you very much. Recently, he always wants to see you again. If it's convenient, can you leave your number?" Yang Yan said with a gentle tone.

Wang Yan turned to look at Xu Ze. He had a vague feeling that the intention of the man in front of him was probably similar to his. He was even using a child as an excuse. Wait no, already had a child? The look in Wang Yan's eyes changed.

Xu Ze wanted to say it wasn't convenient. He didn't want to be associated with the past. But when he saw Yang Yan's eyes, Xu Ze realized one thing, that Yang Yan would do anything for the baby. If he refused here, maybe next time Yang Yan would directly bring the baby to come find him. Not to mention if he refused, it would probably make Yang Yan feel strange.

"I also quite like your son." Then Xu Ze gave Yang Yan his number.

After getting Xu Ze's number, Yang Yan dialed Xu Ze's number to check. Then at the same time, Yang Yan also thanked Xu Ze.

Yang Yan still needed to go back to accompany the baby, so he didn't stay any longer. He got into his car after saying goodbye.

From behind the car, Xu Ze and Wang Yan both stared at the car that Yang Yan was riding.

Gao Cheng drove over and noticed that his two friends were staring at a place intently. He pressed the car horn to draw the two's attention back.

Xu Ze opened the co-pilot's door and sat in. As soon as he got in the car, Gao Cheng asked him, "What are you and Wang Yan looking at that was so fascinating?"

"Meet a friend." Xu Ze's voice did not fluctuate as he replied after he fastened his seat belt.

"Besides me you still have other friends?" In Gao Cheng's impression, Xu Ze didn't seem to have many friends in this city.

Xu Ze smiled and said nothing.

Outside the car, Wang Yan, who had taken off his shirt, started to run. As soon as he ran, Gao Cheng grabbed his phone to start the countdown.

The car followed behind Wang Yan and waited for the other party to run for forty minutes. Not one more, not one less before the car stopped.

Wang Yan ran fast. Adding that it was nighttime, although there were many people around, he wasn't fully naked, so everyone that saw only felt a little weirded out. If it's daytime or fully naked, then they'll probably have to call the police.

Wang Yan got into the car, took his clothes and put them on his body. After running down like this, it seemed that his mood had changed a little. No one had made him lose so thoroughly like this before. However his anger wasn't very much. He really admitted his loss.

On the contrary, his impression of Xu Ze was a little different from before. Such an interesting person may be more interesting to be friends with than to be friends with benefits.

Wang Yan drove his car here, so Gao Cheng drove to the bar.

And because Wang Yan's home was on the way to Xu Ze's, they'll go together. Based on Gao Cheng's understanding of his two friends, he believed that Wang Yan would not bully Xu Ze. But Xu Ze… Gao Cheng gave Xu Ze a look, letting Xu Ze take more care of his friend.

Receiving Gao Cheng's intention, Xu Ze nodded. As long as the other did not offend him, he would not offend them.

Wang Yan called for a driver to send Xu Ze back first.

When they were sent to the outside of the community, Wang Yan stopped Xu Ze who got off the car.

---

Xu Ze stopped as he turned his head and looked at Wang Yan with an indifferent gaze. He was not sure what this person wanted to say to him when he stopped him.

In the instant when his eyes met Wang Yan's, Xu Ze had a vague feeling that after losing and running for more than half an hour, some changes occurred in this person.

Wang Yan stared at Xu Ze's face. This face could really be said to look beautiful from all 360 degrees. The five facial features were exquisite and three-dimensional. It's afraid that even a top beauty hospital would not be able to replicate this face.

Wang Yan considered himself a layman. He was interested in Xu Ze because of his face, but in addition to that, Wang Yan also knew that the character expressed by Xu Ze was also just as attractive to him.

"Xu Ze, I like you!" Wang Yan simply wouldn't stop until his words frightened someone to death.

For the sudden confession, Xu Ze just narrowed his eyes.

Xu Ze's reaction was so calm that it couldn't be calmer. It was as if Wang Yan was not confessing just now, but telling Xu Ze that the weather was good today.

Such an adorable treasure. Wang Yan thought that he was lucky enough for him to find this treasure.

"Do you have nothing to say?" Wang Yan asked for Xu Ze's feelings.

Seeing that Wang Yan was so direct and his character wasn't that fragile, even afraid that he had quite thick skin, Xu Ze didn't be polite to Wang Yan.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes slightly lowered, and he used a look of extreme indifference and even vague contempt. Xu Ze said, "Sorry, I don't like you!"

Wang Yan was shocked by Xu Ze's straightforwardness. He probably didn't expect Xu Ze to answer like this. At least be a little bit polite.

"Why?" Wang Yan asked knowingly.

"You are very similar to someone I used to know and I don't like that person." Xu Ze explained one of the reasons. Even if Wang Yan and Xie Chengzhou were not similar, they just met for the first time yet they behaved like this. As for being friends, Xu Ze would also think about it carefully.

Wang Yan was not a fool. Although Xu Ze said that he rejected him because he was like someone he hated, Wang Yan actually knew in his heart that it was probably his previous actions that made Xu Ze unhappy.

But fortunately, the mistake he made was just a small one, so it wasn't like there was no chance for correction.

"I'm sorry, I apologize to you for what I did before. I hope you won't take it to heart. I couldn't help it. Look, you look so handsome. If I don't do something special, I'm afraid you won't remember me.

"I think you must remember me now right?"

Obviously, Wang Yan was very good at speaking. With him talking like this, first praising Xu Ze and putting Xu Ze on a pedestal. If Xu Ze blamed him again, it would appear that Xu Ze was petty.

Thankfully Xu Ze was someone who had transmigrated and had contact with people like Yang Yan and them before. Wang Yan was not as good as Yang Yan just in terms of appearance, and his aura was even worse.

Xu Ze lightly smiled. He did not continue Wang Yan's words and just let Wang Yan act there by himself.

"Thank you for giving me a ride, goodbye." After Xu Ze said thanks he turned to leave.

A gaze behind him was piercing and sharp. When Xu Ze turned a corner, that gaze seemed to disappear.

Returning home, Xu Ze rummaged through the bedroom drawer and found a sketch. This portrait was drawn a few days ago. At that time, he was still thinking that after the accident, he would say goodbye to the past completely.

What happened tonight suddenly gave Xu Ze a hunch that maybe this goodbye had to be postponed for a while.

Xu Ze wasn't worried that Yang Yan would recognize him or maybe feel that he was a bit similar to that person from the past. But just physically, he and that 'Xu Ze' were two people. If Yang Yan had any thoughts about him in the future, it would be a betrayal of 'Xu Ze'.

Xu Ze took out the sketch paper of the baby sketched in pencil. He no longer sealed it, but stuck it on the wall. Leaving aside Yang Yan, Xu Ze really liked the baby.

Even if that wasn't born from his pregnancy, even if he had no relations with the baby, he would still like the baby's cute little face.

After getting Xu Ze's number, Yang Yan didn't ask Xu Ze out immediately. Before that, he asked someone to investigate, including Xu Ze's birth, the school he attended, and what Xu Ze did after graduation. The results of the investigation showed that Xu Ze's parents died unexpectedly when he was very young. He received a large amount of compensation money. With this compensation money, Xu Ze finished university and bought a house in the city.

After graduation, he didn't work in any company and made some small investments by himself. Xu Ze seemed to have a unique vision and the projects he invested in did not suffer any losses. Unlike most ordinary investors, losses were the norm and profits were nothing but pie dropping from the sky.

Xu Ze currently lived by himself, was single, never had any lovers, and only recently got closer to Gao Cheng.

After looking over the above information, Yang Yan found nothing unusual.

It wasn't that he had any doubts about Xu Ze, it was just because of his baby. Yang Yan didn't know why the baby just saw Xu Ze once, yet he liked Xu Ze so much and never forgot about him.

In addition, Yang Yan held the information in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Ze's name.

Seriously, if it wasn't for the other information that followed, proving that this Xu Ze was not the Xu Ze he knew, Yang Yan almost thought that this person was deliberately approaching him and the baby.

If he was simply approaching him and bearing Xu Ze's name, Yang Yan would not take the other party too seriously. But approaching his child, it was necessary for Yang Yan to investigate this clearly.

The information about Xu Ze's past could not be clearer. It really seemed like a puzzling coincidence.

Yang Yan put down the documents and got up from the chair. He walked to the window and looked at the blue sky. His heart had already died with the person he once liked. Although there was another Xu Ze now, he knew clearly that it was not his Xu Ze.

Yang Yan shook his head slowly. He sighed and returned to his desk to continue working. Yang Yan's work efficiency was extremely high now, much higher than in the past. The reason was that there was a little guy waiting for him at home. Although he had hired a nanny to take care of the baby, a father was different from a nanny. The nanny could not replace the father's position.

Regarding the investigation information, Yang Yan put it away and locked it in a drawer. He drove his car and hurried home.

---

It should be said that ever since Xu Ze got pregnant and moved into the house, Yang Yan seldom went out for dinner at night. And now, although Xu Ze left, he had a little guy instead so Yang Yan spent even less time going out to play. There was no other way. The little guy would only eat well if his dad ate with him, otherwise he would only eat a little.

There was only one dad, which made the little guy really stick to Yang Yan. Maybe that kind of feeling of unease has been there since the day he was born.

When the food was placed on the table, Yang Yan put a low stool on the ground. Then the baby stepped on the low stool and climbed onto the chair.

The baby was sticky to Yang Yan, but when Yang Yan was really there, the baby was well-behaved and self-reliant. Although he was raised in the palm of a hand, the baby was more sensible and cute than many of his peers.

This bit of character was not like Yang Yan's. Yang Yan's temper was not this good when he was a child, so Yang Yan knew that the baby's character was like his father Xu Ze.

The baby had his own special small bowl. Yang Yan filled up the baby's bowl well. The baby could already hold chopsticks by himself now, but it wasn't too stable when picking up vegetables. Sometimes Yang Yan would help pick them up.

The baby was immersed in eating. The small mouth was covered with oil and there was even a few rice grains stuck. Yang Yan occasionally wiped the baby's chin to prevent the water from running down the baby's neck.

Yang Yan gave the baby a well-cooked carrot. The baby poked the red carrot in the bowl with a small expression that didn't look very happy. He pursed his mouth slightly.

"You can't be a picky eater. Eat more vegetables so you can be more healthy." Yang Yan picked up the carrot and stuffed it into the baby's mouth.

Although the baby was unhappy he still ate the carrot. However he didn't chew it even twice before swallowing. It was basically the same as swallowing it directly.

Yang Yan gave another piece of carrot to the baby. He told the baby that if the baby also ate this piece, he would accompany the baby to sleep tonight.

The temptation to be able to sleep with dad was big enough. The baby immediately swallowed the carrot.

After seeing the baby swallowing, Yang Yan even had the baby open his mouth for Yang Yan to check. Yang Yan checked it carefully and then praised the baby: "Our Little Ze is really good."

The complimented baby immediately puffed out his small chest. Seeing this, Yang Yan's heart welled up with happiness.

It's just that, when Yang Yan's eyes fell on the plate of roasted pork with carrots on the table, his eyes darkened.

If only Xu Ze hadn't left then the ones sitting here wouldn't just be him and the baby, but the three of them.

Thinking of this, Yang Yan laughed in his heart again. He saw with his own eyes that Xu Ze's ashes were buried. Xu Ze had completely left him and the baby.

Yang Yan wiped the baby's mouth with a tissue and told the baby to drink more soup.

Burp! The baby's stomach was full and burped.

"Daddy, look!" The baby lifted up his little clothes and let his dad look at his tummy bulging into a small ball.

Yang Yan smiled gently and stretched out his hand to pull the baby's clothes down. Yang Yan didn't know where the baby learned these little habits. Whenever he saw one, he would correct it appropriately.

"You can't lift up your clothes. Be careful of catching a cold. If you catch a cold, you will get an injection from the hospital, you know?" Yang Yan gently scratched the baby's little nose with his finger.

The baby went back to hide. He knew about injections. The pointy needle was very painful.

"I know daddy, I won't anymore." The baby's milky voice was soft and waxy.

The baby was very smart and could understand as soon as he was taught. Occasionally, Yang Yan even hoped that the baby could be a bit more willful and naughty.

"En." Yang Yan stared at the baby's peach eyes. He could always suddenly think of another person.

After eating, Yang Yan sat with the baby on the carpet beside the sofa to play puzzles. Before playing, Yang Yan pulled the baby into his arms. He took the baby's small hand and said to the baby, "Daddy has prepared a gift for you. Take a guess what it is?"

The baby's eyes widened immediately. The black and white transparent eyes shone like jewels.

The baby's entire face looked curious. He grabbed Yang Yan's hand and looked over and over. Daddy's big hand was completely empty. Could it be in Daddy's pocket?

The baby squatted on the soft floor and began to rummage through the pockets of his father's clothes. In the end he didn't find anything.

"Daddy is a liar! Daddy lied! There is no gift at all!" The baby stood in front of Yang Yan. His two little hands were clenched into fists, even his angry appearance was very likable.

The outline of the baby's five facial features became more and more pronounced. Yang extended his hand to pull the baby, followed by him putting his phone in the baby's hand.

Dad's phone was something the baby of course knew, but why give it to him?.

The baby refused to take it and stared at the lying bad dad using angry little eyes.

"The gift is inside the phone." Yang Yan already teased the baby for a while so he stopped.

The baby didn't believe it and continued to stare at Dad.

"Didn't you often ask daddy when we can see that good-looking uncle again? Daddy ran into him coincidentally a few days ago. Knowing that you like him, baby, I asked for his phone number."

"The number is in there, look!" Yang Yan dug out a number from the communication record.

Staring at that number, the baby blinked his big bright eyes, a little bit of believing and a bit of disbelief.

"Is it really that uncle?" The baby asked his dad as he raised his milk-white face.

"Of course it is, when did Daddy ever lie to you!" Yang Yan rubbed the baby's little head.

"Then Daddy…" the baby suddenly turned his anger into joy. He smiled so wide that his eyes were bent. He hurriedly asked Yang Yan, "Can I call uncle?"

"If he's not busy then sure." Yang Yan knew that Xu Ze shouldn't be busy, but he still said this to the baby on purpose.

"Uncle is definitely not busy." The baby took the phone and pressed the dial button.

When the phone dialed, Xu Ze was cooking noodles in the kitchen. At noon, he made himself a boiled fish, leaving fish soup as leftovers. Right now he was using the fish soup to prepare noodles, which would make it taste very good. His phone was placed in the living room and the ringtone was rather quiet, causing Xu Ze unable to hear the call right away.

When he went out with the noodles, the bell rang for a little longer before it stopped. Xu Ze walked over and picked up his phone. He remembered Yang Yan's phone number. In fact,even if Yang yan didn't leave his number, Xu Ze would still know who it was once he saw the other party's number.

Yang Yan suddenly called him and it was night time right now. What could he want calling him at this time?

Just when Xu Ze was hesitating whether to call back or not, the phone suddenly rang again. This time Xu Ze answered it in time.

It was only after he said 'Hello?', a soft milky voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Uncle!"

Hearing this voice, Xu Ze raised his brows slightly. He knew who was calling him.

"Little Ze, hello!" Xu Ze remembered that Yang Yan had called out the baby's name before.

The baby's surprise was very clear through the phone: "Uncle, you still remember me!"

"Of course I remember! It's so late, what are you calling uncle for?" Xu Ze turned around and sat at the dining table. The freshly cooked noodles exuded a tempting fragrance, but this fragrance wasn't more attractive to Xu Ze than the baby's voice.

"Uncle, are you free tomorrow?" The baby held the phone tightly in both hands, while Yang Yan, who was on the side, helped to carry the bottom of the phone.

Xu Ze's eyes flashed slightly and said, "I do."

"Then uncle, could you come to my house for dinner?" The baby's words made the two adults on both ends of the phone stunned.

Xu Ze on the other end of the phone immediately wondered if Yang Yan was beside the baby and teaching. Otherwise why would the baby invite him to dinner? But after thinking about it, this was not in line with Yang Yan's behavior. It could only be said that it was the baby's personal decision.

On this side of the phone, Yang Yan squatted in front of the baby. When he heard that the baby directly invited the person to come to their house for dinner, he tugged on the baby's sleeve to remind the baby that Yang Yan would not have time tomorrow.

The baby's big eyes were pure and innocent: "Uncle, can't do tomorrow, tomorrow daddy isn't free. Why don't I ask my daddy first!"

After saying that, the baby looked at his dad.

Facing the baby's tender and cute little face, what Yang Yan could say? Of course, his son could do whatever he wanted to.

"The day after tomorrow and the day after that are fine," Yang Yan said.

The baby relayed Yang Yan's words to Xu Ze. He was young, but his voice was clear and his articulation was quite clear.

"The day after tomorrow then. However, I won't be going to Little Ze's house. How about we eat outside?" Xu Ze couldn't possibly go to Yang Yan's house. It wasn't because of the feelings of those scenes, but just that he didn't want to enter the other's house.

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow then uncle."

The corner of Xu Ze's mouth subconsciously raised into a smile: "See you the day after tomorrow."

---

After hanging up the phone, the noodles in the bowl were almost mushy. Xu Ze lowered his head and quickly ate the noodles. After eating, Xu Ze washed the bowl and cleaned up the kitchen briefly.

After walking out of the kitchen, Xu Ze changed into a coat. He took his phone and the door key as he walked out the door. He developed a habit, which was formed when he was pregnant with the child. He would go out for a walk after dinner.

Xu Ze remembered that when he first had this body, sometimes Xu Ze would subconsciously touch his abdomen as if there was something else there. However all he felt was his flat stomach.

According to the system, although he would be in this world for ten years, it has already been more than two years. He still had seven years left. Xu Ze knew that after seven years, he would leave this world and travel to the next world.

In that world, similar to this world, he would still be pregnant with someone's child and be a father.

Because of this, Xu Ze controlled his emotions even more. He didn't get too close with anyone. They could become friends, but not lovers.

For friends, he would find a reason at that time, such as going abroad or him wanting to live in a different environment. He could just directly leave. If he had a lover, he couldn't just find random excuses to leave.

At certain moments, Xu Ze would feel a little lonely, hoping to have someone by his side. However, that feeling of loneliness was quite short-lived. More often, Xu Ze was as strong and independent as ever.

He had always known one principle. Relying on himself was more secure than relying on others.

After leaving the community area, Xu Ze walked alone on the dimly lit street. Many of the people he encountered were in pairs or groups of three to five. Passing by them, Xu Ze's mood did not have any fluctuation.

He was alone, and at the same time he also enjoyed this loneliness.

Time flew fast. In the blink of an eye it was the day. On the previous day, Xu Ze received a call from Yang Yan. The other party said that he would take the baby to pick up Xu Ze the next morning.

"It's fine to just say the location, I'll drive over there." Xu Ze meant that Yang Yan and the baby didn't need to make the specific trip.

"Little Ze had been very excited since last night. He also had asked many times today when he could see you tomorrow." Obviously the baby couldn't wait to meet Xu Ze.

After listening, Xu Ze didn't say any more. He said that he would be waiting at home.

Xu Ze didn't dress up deliberately. He wasn't going on a date, just meeting the baby for a meal. Xu Ze was wearing quite casual clothes. Yang Yan's phone called, telling Xu Ze that he and the baby were here.

"En, I'll come down right away." Xu Ze put the door key away and walked out the door.

Yang Yan's car was very easy to find because of a small head sticking out of the car. When he saw Xu Ze appear, his small hand waved excitedly.

"Uncle, here!" The little guy's voice was clear and crisp. During this time there was a lot of people going to work. Pedestrians passing by heard the sound and looked in the direction of the car. A child who looked like a porcelain doll was lying on the car window. Quite a few people stared and let out a 'so cute' sigh.

Also noticed that the baby seemed to be calling someone, Yang Yan followed the baby's line of sight and saw Xu Ze walking towards this side. Xu Ze was dressed in ordinary casual clothes. However, with his tall height, long legs, a sturdy body, and a very gorgeous and handsome face, Xu Ze looked like beauty who came out of a painting. He was that kind of beauty that made people almost ignore his gender.

Many pedestrians looked at the cute baby and then at the handsome Xu Ze, thinking that they were quite lucky today.

Xu Ze came to the car and was about to say hello to the little guy when the little guy said, "Uncle, you look so beautiful!"

Xu Ze was amused by the baby's compliment. He bent down and said softly to the baby, "You can't praise uncle for being beautiful, you have to say handsome, do you understand?"

"But Uncle, you are really beautiful!" The baby's little head couldn't understand for a while.

"You only use beautiful when praising girls. Uncle isn't a girl."

The baby seemed to understand a little. He looked at Xu Ze with big beautiful eyes: "Then Uncle, you're so handsome!"

"En, now you're right."

Xu Ze and the baby chatted for a while. Yang Yan, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the two of them. It's only after a while did he say: "Get in the car."

Xu Ze opened the car door and sat in. As soon as he entered, the little guy climbed up on Xu Ze's lap. Xu Ze did not refuse and put his arms around the baby's waist to protect the baby's soft little body.

The baby sat on Xu Ze. He was very well behaved and didn't move around. The baby raised his head to look at Xu Ze. The eyes that stared at him were as gentle as his dad's. The baby grabbed Xu Ze's clothes and asked, "Uncle, do you have any children?"

Xu Ze smiled and shook his head: "I don't."

"Uncle, will you have children in the future?" the baby asked with wide eyes.

"I don't think there will be." Xu Ze said.

This made the baby feel strange, so he asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because Uncle won't marry anyone. If I don't get married, I won't have children." Although the person he was talking to was a two-year-old baby, Xu Ze still talked to the baby very seriously.

Yang Yan, who was on the side, stared at Xu Ze and the baby. Xu Ze paid all his attention to the baby. Since Yang Yan was staring at him, Xu Ze let the other party look at all he wanted. It's not like he would not lose anything.

"In this case, will Uncle have a lot of time in the future?" Obviously the baby had his own little purpose.

Even though the little guy was more than two years old, he still had little thoughts. Because the baby was small he didn't understand this feeling. If he was older, he might be able to understand that in this liking towards Xu Ze, there was something called possessiveness.

In his opinion, if Xu Ze had a child, Xu Ze would definitely care about that child and would not come out to meet him.

So when Xu Ze said that he would not have children in the future, the baby felt happy inside.

Strictly speaking, the baby was not Xu Ze's child. He just surprisingly became a father. But maybe because the baby had lived in his womb for more than nine months, it made Xu Ze and the baby have a special connection. That kind of connection allowed Xu Ze to guess the baby's meaning almost instantly from the baby's question.

Then Xu Ze sighed in his heart. The baby learned to talk like this at such a young age. Yang Yan must have contributed to this.

Xu Ze's heart was clear like a mirror, but he still pretended not to know and followed the baby's meaning.

"Yeah, Uncle works at home. Right now I have a lot of time. If you want, you can come find Uncle at any time."

"Really?" The baby's eyes lit up in an instant.

Xu Ze stroked the baby's back: "Of course."

"Uncle, you're so nice." The baby was quite happy, so he leaned over and gave Xu Ze a kiss on his face, directly making a mwa sound.

Suddenly being kissed by the baby, Xu Ze's expression had some changes. Originally, with the baby being able to take the initiative to climb into his arms and sit and let Xu Ze hug him like this, it was enough to satisfy Xu Ze's heart. He didn't expect the baby to really like him this much. Even if he changed his body, it was as if he had some kind of connection with the baby. It was like this connection made this little guy never forget him after bumping into him that day.

Because he was pregnant with the baby for a few months?

Xu Ze hugged the baby with both hands. Although the sea in his heart was raising huge waves, Xu Ze always had a good self-control ability. hHs face did not fluctuate much. He wouldn't let Yang Yan, who was on the side, see anything abnormal.

So for that last paragraph, WTF!

I'm pretty sure it's more normal to react to a baby kissing you than have zero reaction.

Like Yang Yan most likely, or at least should know that Xu Ze liked the baby quite a bit. So having that little reaction would be so much more abnormal.

Who the f wouldn't explode into a loving doting grin upon being kissed by a little angel?

Also that beginning was weird. So Xu Ze doesn't like being alone but also likes it?

I mean I get that feeling but he has friends, so this loneliness could only refer to lovers. But didn't Xu Ze not really care about having lovers? It also shouldn't be family since he left the baby.

Don't tell me it's the kind of loneliness of "No one would ever understand me.". It shouldn't be right?
