DASB Ch8

Ye Xi went to bed fairly early last night and it was only half past seven when he woke up in the morning. Even he was shocked.

He quickly sends a message to Huo Rulan: “I got up super early today!”

Huo Rulan, who has been forced to get up at six o’clock and has already started the morning meeting, said, “…”

Huo Rulan: “Our baby is great.”

Ye Xi was ashamed to see the message, and then happily got up and went downstairs in a good mood.

The housekeeper probably didn’t expect him to get up so early today. He was standing at the door arranging some people to move something, and he was surprised when he saw him coming down.

Housekeeper: “Little sir, do you want to have breakfast now?”

Ye Xi nodded, then stood by and looked at the people coming in and out at the door. “What is this?”

The butler brought him breakfast, a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and a bowl of shredded chicken wonton noodles.

Housekeeper: “Some of them are imported fruits, snacks and seasonal clothes that Madam sent over early in the morning.”

“Some of them are some flower seeds and flowerpots that Mr. Huo asked his assistant to buy, saying that he wanted to see where you would plant them.”

“Others were sent by people next door. Someone moved to the house next door. It was a couple with children. They arrived this morning, came to say hello and sent gifts.”

Ye Xi looked at the piles of things and turned to look at the housekeeper. There are too many things, so he let the housekeeper arrange them.

“Uncle Zhao, please prepare the gift for the neighbor. We’ll give them a gift later and say hello.”

The housekeeper should be well, and then go on busy.

Ye Xi sat on the dining table and drank porridge. After just two sips, the preserved eggs were a little fishy, and Ye Xi rushed to the bathroom to vomit.

He has lost all his energy for today, Ye Xi’s face is pale, and his whole body is wilted.

Ye Xi returned to the dining table, took a few sips of the warm water handed by the housekeeper, and barely ate a few bites of shredded chicken wonton noodles, but he couldn’t eat any more.

After breakfast, Ye Xi lay down on a chair on the balcony next to the garden on the first floor to rest, with a small blanket covering his stomach.

Huo Rulan made a video call to Ye Xi after receiving the message from the housekeeper. Seeing his pale and weak look, Huo Rulan felt sour in his heart.

“There should be sour plums in the snacks my mother sent. I have asked the housekeeper to get them. Can you eat some sour plums first?”

Ye Xi’s face wilted, his eyes closed and he nodded.

Huo Rulan was still talking, “How about eating pickled fish for lunch? Didn’t you say that pickled fish is delicious? Can you eat that one?”

Ye Xi nodded with his eyes closed, but tears came from the corner of his eyes and slipped down his cheeks. He turned his back to the living room and secretly wiped his eyes.

Huo Rulan was speechless, his nose was sour, and his eyes gradually turned red.

“… it’s just a little uncomfortable to vomit. I’m fine. Don’t worry. I want to eat hot and sour cabbage at noon.”

Ye Xi wiped his tears. He didn’t want Huo Rulan to feel guilty and sad. He also liked the baby very much.

It’s normal to feel uncomfortable when pregnant. Ye Xi knows and understands that he is lucky to have a child.

Huo Rulan listened to his words, his eyes became redder, he turned his head away from where the video could be seen, and secretly wiped away his tears.

Looking back, he had always been gentle and mature:”Only hot and sour cabbage? Don’t you want anything else? ”

Ye Xi saw his red eyes, moved closer to the camera, and made a kissing gesture, “I also want lemon and sour boneless chicken feet!!”

Huo Rulan’s ears were slightly red, and he whispered “Okay”, and then whispered, “I want to kiss you when I come back.”

Such an old man was still as innocent as a young boy in love. Ye Xi was affected by him, his ears turned red, and he said yes in a low voice.

The housekeeper who was watching from a short distance away had a face that was as ordinary as someone who had come before, a young man who had just fallen in love.

***

Ye Xi and Huo Rulan chatted for a long time until Huo Rulan went to the meeting again.

Ye Xi regained his spirits, with five sour plums in his mouth, and went to see the housekeeper to pick up what was sent.

When the sour plums are finished, Ye Xi and the housekeeper go out to the villa next door with a gift.

The villa next door is a short distance away from the villa where Ye Xi lives, and the layout is similar, with a garden lawn outside.

When they arrived at the door to explain their purpose, the housekeeper of the villa next door took them in.

It was just an unlucky moment that Ye Xi saw a “domestic violence” scene as soon as I entered the door, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

Ye Xi saw a petite boy in the living room pulling the ear of the tall man in front of him. The man bent over in pain, did not dare to resist, and obeyed the instructions obediently.

There is also a boy who is about two years old holding a bottle and drinking milk. He is used to this scene.

Ye Xi looked at their housekeeper, and sure enough, he looked used to it.

Ye Xi could neither advance nor retreat. Fortunately, the petite boy noticed the arriving guests and quickly let go of his husband’s ears and stepped forward to welcome them in.

The tall man stood there secretly rubbing his ears, and then returned to being gentle. If it weren’t for the red ear, Ye Xi would have thought he had seen it wrong.
Different from the “domestic violence” appearance just now, the boy was very lively and enthusiastic, with a baby face. He was not embarrassed when seeing strangers, so he stepped forward and led Ye Xi to the living room.

The petite boy is a little shorter than Ye Xi. When walking next to Ye Xi, he looks like Ye Xi’s younger brother.

“Brother, my name is Wen Yu.” Wen Yu took him to sit down and sat next to him. The tall man also sat down on the other sofa and nodded politely to Ye Xi, “Hello, I’m Lu Chuanning.”

Taking the warm water from Wen Yu and saying thank you, Ye Xi said softly “Hello, I’m Ye Xi, who lives next door to you. I heard from Uncle Zhao that there are new neighbors and prepared a meeting gift for you as I come and visit”

Wen Yu scolded lightly: “Brother can come here freely, so why do you still bring gifts?”

Ye Xi took the box from the housekeeper and handed it to Wen Yu. “It’s nothing valuable.”

Wen Yu didn’t refuse either. Refusing what others brought would make the other party very embarrassed. He took the gift box and smiled happily at Ye Xi: “Thank you for your gift!”

Ye Xi is also happy to face such a cheerful and enthusiastic boy.

Lu Chuanning also talked with them for a while before leaving the living room for them to talk. When he came over to tell Wen Yu that he was going to get busy, Ye Xi saw Wen Yu glance at Lu Chuanning and silently said something to Lu Chuanning. Baring his rabbit teeth, he looked like he was losing his temper.

Ye Xi took the cup, lowered his eyes and took a sip of warm water, and his eyes flashed with a smile.

Nodding politely to Ye Xi and saying sorry, Lu Chuaning rubbed his ears and went upstairs to handle his work.

Wen Yu hugged her son, the child was holding a bottle, and the little cub was held in his arms.

“This is Uncle Ye, can you please say hello to uncle~”

The baby let go of the bottle he was biting in his mouth, and the milk shouted “Uncle Ye~ ~”.

The little guy’s face was white and tender, with plump baby fat. After speaking, he bit the bottle and drank milk. He looked at Ye Xi with his big round eyes.

As a prospective father, Ye Xi’s heart melted at the sight of such a milk dumpling.

Wen Yu put the child in Ye Xi’s arms and smiled like a little sun. “Brother, hug this little cub, too. It’s soft.”

Ye Xi didn’t hold back and took the baby into his arms. The warm little ball huddled in his arms, Ye Xi’s eyes were gentle.

Wen Yu is cheerful and enthusiastic, and Ye Xi is soft and gentle. They hit it off at once. In the next few days, either Ye Xi went to Wen Yu’s house or Wen Yu came to Ye Xi’s house with his cub.

When Huo Rulan came back from a business trip, there was no one at home. He packed his luggage and took some fruit and milk to the house next door.

When Huo Rulan entered, Ye Xi was sitting on the sofa with a child in his arms, his back facing him. There was a boy sitting next to him, his back also facing him. His back looked familiar.

Huo Rulan just wanted to say hello when a tall man with a spatula and apron came out of the kitchen and said in surprise, “Lao Huo?”

Huo Rulan looked over and was stunned. “Lao Chuan?”

Lu Chuanning: “Good guy, doesn’t your family live over there in Wangi?”

Huo Rulan handed him the fruit and milk in his hand. “I’m married. This is a new house, but you didn’t say when you came back from abroad.”

Lu Chuanning punched Huo Rulan. “I just arrived a few days ago, and I was busy moving. I haven’t had time to tell you. I haven’t had time to tell you yet. I will invite Lao Mu and the others to come to my house for a meal someday.”

Ye Xi held the child in his arms, but Wen Yu got up and greeted Huo Rulan with a smile: “Brother Huo.”

Huo Rulan is the best man of his and Lu Chuanning’s wedding, and he is also his senior brother in college. It was all because of Huo Rulan that he and Lu Chuanning fell in love and got married.

Huo Rulan often buys a bunch of gifts for his babies when he goes abroad on business trips.

When Wen Yu unexpectedly gave birth prematurely, Lu Chuanning was stuck on the road and couldn’t come back in time, so Huo Rulan helped take him to the hospital.

Both Wen Yu and Lu Chuanning appreciate Huo Rulan’s help, and they often contact each other at ordinary times.

Huo Rulan hugged Ye Xi, held the little cub in Ye Xi’s arms with his other hand, and explained to Ye Xi:

“Chuanning is my childhood friend. His family is next to ours. He has been working abroad for several years. Xiao Yu is my junior brother in college.”

Lu Chuanning didn’t ask why Huo Rulan didn’t invite them to the wedding when he got married. He has been in a high position for so long, so how can he not understand this?

Wen Yu invited them to stay for dinner, but Huo Rulan refused, saying, “In a few days, I haven’t seen my wife for several days.”

Ye Xi’s cheeks were red, and he stretched out his hand and pinched Huo Rulan’s waist. Huo Rulan kept a straight face.

Lu Chuanning’s smile is quite meaningful. “Then me and your sister-in-law will go back first and come to dinner in a few days.”

Wen Yu also smiled and waved his hand. “Brother remember to come over for dinner with your wife.”

Huo Rulan put the baby back in Wen Yu’s arms, touched the baby’s head and took Ye Xi home.

***

Huo Rulan took Ye Xi’s hand back to the room, pressed Ye Xi onto the bed, carefully avoided his stomach and said in a teasing tone, “Do you miss me?”

Ye Xi blushed and reached out to push his shoulder, but failed. Huo Rulan grabbed his hand and kissed him. Ye Xi said softly and shyly, “I miss you.”

There was a smile in Huo Rulan’s eyes, and he moved his face closer: “Huh?”

Ye Xi’s neck was red, and he closed his eyes and kissed Huo Rulan’s face quickly.

Huo Rulan turned his other face around and silently urged Ye Xi to kiss again. He buried his head in Huo Rulan’s arms and was shy. He pulled him out and kissed him deeply.
