CH 72.1

Song Zhi Xu paused his movements to clean up the bed, stood up and looked at Lin Mu for a moment before shaking his head. 

“Lin Mu, I can understand that you loved Ran Ran dearly, but I promise you that this kind of thing won’t happen again. I can’t let you take Ran Ran away, not to mention that Ran Ran won’t go with you.”

Lin Mu opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing at all. Indeed, Lin Ran probably wouldn’t go with him, just like the last time Lin Ran had gone back with him, however, he still returned back here stealthily alone. However, he had only one family member, Lin Ran, therefore he still wanted to take Lin Ran away to stay beside him and take care of him. Song Zhi Xu turned around and tidied up the bed again for him, after that without staying for much longer, he then left. 

Lin Ran slept by himself at the moment and he would look for him if he didn’t see him for too long. Since Lin Ran was now pregnant, Song Zhi Xu didn’t need to avoid arousing any suspicion, so he went straight into the master bedroom and after he finished taking a shower, he climbed into bed and slowly stretched out Lin Ran whose body was curled up in a ball, into his embrace.

It was probably because he had slept alone for too long in the past few years that Lin Ran liked to curl up in a ball when he slept, and it was only after he slept with Song Zhi Xu that he got better, but he still liked to curl up when Song Zhi Xu was not around. Previously, Song Zhi Xu didn’t think it was a problem, but now that Lin Ran was pregnant, he still had to pay more attention to it.

Lin Ran moved while he was still in a daze, seemingly he had smelled the smell of Song Zhi Xu’s body, and moved even closer into his embrace, before then falling asleep again. Song Zhi Xu gently caressing Lin Ran’s back, his mind still thinking about Lin Mu’s words, many things he had not been able to understand before suddenly he was able to sort it out now.

Since the Lin family would argue over Lin Ran’s other father, the one who scared Lin Ran last time might not be the Lin Uncle in the photo, but the other man on it. 

This would explain why Lin Ran was not afraid of the family photo of the three members of the family, but of the photo of the two men in the box. Song Zhi Xu thought for a while and while they were in the darkness, he then looked at Lin Ran again. He prepared to find a chance to take Lin Ran home once, now that Lin Ran was pregnant, Song Zhi Xu still wanted to take him home and officially meet his parents and let them know. On the other hand, since his dad had that box he supposedly knew ‘that another father’ of Lin Ran.

It didn’t matter if he and Lin Ran were the only ones here, they usually ate when they woke up, but now that Lin Mu was still here Song Zhi Xu had to be more attentive. 

But Song Zhi Xu had not been awake for so long. Lin Ran also woke up because there was no one beside him.

When he opened his eyes, it was an unfamiliar room, Lin Ran didn’t react for a moment as he sat up on the bed, froze and looked around the room, until Song Zhi Xu finished washing the bowls and walked back to the room, only then he suddenly remembered that he was in the hospital. 

“Song Zhi Xu.” Lin Ran stretched out his hand to Song Zhi Xu, who naturally walked over to him and held him up into his embrace.

After giving him a kiss on the forehead, Song Zhi Xu said gently, “Are you still sleepy after waking up? Get up now or sleep some more?” 

Lin Ran had been ‘sleepy’ lately so it was rare that he woke up so early. Usually, when he woke up, he could already and directly eat his meal.

Lin Ran shook his head, leaning into Song Zhi Xu’s arms as he yawned, pouted and said in a small voice, 

“Ran Ran dreamed that Gege had come.”

After being woken up by Song Zhi Xu in a daze last night, Lin Ran still thought that when he saw his Gege, it was probably just a dream. 

Song Zhi Xu pinched his cheek and laughed in a low voice, “It’s not a dream, your Gege indeed did come. He came over last night. Do you want to meet him?”

As they were talking, the door of the side room being opened sounded, Lin Mu happened to come out of the room. Lin Ran heard the sound and looked at Song Zhi Xu, his eyes shining brightly, therefore without even thought about it, he pushed Song Zhi Xu away and struggled to climb out from the bed to look for Lin Mu, but this time he was pulled back and held by Song Zhi Xu’s quick eyes and deft hands. 

“Ran Ran, you can’t do it like this anymore that you say you gonna run then you run. What if you fall down? You still have a baby in your belly.” Song Zhi Xu was originally afraid of scaring Lin Ran so he didn’t tell him about the pregnancy, but now Lin Ran wasn’t being careful at all, so he had no choice but to remind Lin Ran.

Last night he had already scared Song Zhi Xu by suddenly running towards Lin Mu, and now he was recklessly getting up from the bed. Song Zhi Xu was afraid that Lin Ran might hurt himself when he didn’t pay attention to him. 

“Baby?” Lin Ran looked down on his own belly, he reached out and squeezed it, he seemed to have put on some weight recently; there was some fat on it. He then looked up at Song Zhi Xu again, “There is no baby in Ran Ran’s belly, only meat.” Song Zhi Xu really didn’t know how to explain to Lin Ran for a moment, after all, Lin Ran probably didn’t even understand what pregnancy and childbirth was.

Song Zhi Xu thought about it, in the end he still simply said, 

“I planted a little baby in Ran Ran’s belly, he will slowly grow up and come out.”

Lin Ran thought about it and stared in surprise, touching his stomach again and trying to knock on it, but was stopped by Song Zhi Xu. 

He said in surprise, “So Ran Ran will also give birth to a little baby right, just like on TV? Then can Song Zhi Xu give birth?” Song Zhi Xu didn’t even know, Lin Ran watched cartoons every day and had seen this kind of cartoon, but he could understand what he was saying which saved Song Zhi Xu the trouble of explaining. He just shook his head, “I can’t, Ran Ran is greater than me.”

Lin Ran was happy that Song Zhi Xu praised him for being great, he then revealed a determined look on his face. 

“Ran Ran will be careful, I won’t let the baby fall out, and will walk slowly.” Lin Ran carefully got off the bed and pulled Song Zhi Xu to see Lin Mu again.

Lin Mu had originally woken up early and wanted to prepare breakfast, but he hadn’t been in the kitchen long before Lin Ran rubbed against him, hugged him and wanted to talk to him. Song Zhi Xu took the knife from Lin Mu’s hand and let the two go out to talk while he was going to cook.
