Lin Ran felt that Song Zhi Xu was crying and he would only cry when he was extraordinarily sad, so Song Zhi Xu must be very very sad now. 

Lin Ran moved, wanting to get out of Song Zhi Xu’s embrace and look at him but as soon as he moved, Song Zhi Xu hugged him even tighter and kept saying to him, “I’m sorry.”

He could only stay well-behaved in Song Zhi Xu’s embrace, hugging him tighter and shaking his head. 

“Don’t be sorry, there is no need to say sorry, Song Zhi Xu, you are sad right now. If Song Zhi Xu is sad, Ran Ran is also going to be sad.”

Lin Ran stood at the place where he could not see Song Zhi Xu’s expression so he was a little anxious in his heart and his eyes were also already a little red. He didn’t know what happened to Song Zhi Xu. Song Zhi Xu heard Lin Ran’s voice was already sounding with a sobbing tone. He touched his eyes, tried to restrain his emotions, raised his head as he let go of Lin Ran, “Ran Ran, don’t cry, I’m fine.”

Lin Ran anxiously went to look at Song Zhi Xu but the room was a bit dark, so he couldn’t see Song Zhi Xu’s face. He wanted to turn on the light, but Song Zhi Xu held his wrist, “Ran Ran, don’t turn on the light, let me hug you for a while, okay?” Song Zhi Xu’s voice was still a little hoarse.

Lin Ran didn’t understand why, but he still nodded his head and obediently leaned into Song Zhi Xu’s arms again.

If he didn’t pull Lin Ran into the water in a panic at that time, although Lin Ran would probably still not have a good life in the Lin family, but he would certainly not be in the state he is right now.

Lin Ran nodded his head and shook it again. 

“Ran Ran is fine, it’s good to have Song Zhi Xu.” Lin Ran smiled, taking Song Zhi Xu’s hand and holding it in his.

He had a bad memory and was on the verge of forgetting what had happened before, Song Zhi Xu was good to him, he just had to remember how good Song Zhi Xu was to him, so he didn’t have to be sad. 

Song Zhi Xu’s eyes were a little moist again, and he still said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”

He didn’t have the courage to tell Lin Ran about that incident, because Lin Ran had become like this now, and there was no way he could ever make up for what he had experienced all these years. All he could do now is to be good to Lin Ran in the future and take good care of him. But those past ten years were not going to return anymore, “Don’t be sorry.” Lin Ran rubbed against Song Zhi Xu’s arms, he inexplicably did not want Song Zhi Xu to keep saying sorry to him. Song Zhi Xu replied with “Hn” after a while and kissed Lin Ran’s cheek, did not saying anything anymore. 

The bedroom was quiet again, and with the curtains closed, the only sound in the dimly lit room was the intertwined breathing of the two men.

He didn’t know how long it already pass, but there was a sudden “gurgling” sound in the room, which both of them could hear because they were close together. Lin Ran looked at his own stomach and took Song Zhi Xu’s hand and placed it on his belly. His voice sounded somewhat pitiful, “Song Zhi Xu, the little baby in my belly says that he’s hungry and wants to eat.” 

After waking up from a nap, it was already close to noon, and the two of them stayed in the room for a little while longer, so Lin Ran’s stomach was already hungry. After listening to Lin Ran, Song Zhi Xu’s mood was better as he was comforted by him. He pinched some of the flesh that had recently accumulated on Lin Ran’s stomach, “The baby in your tummy is so powerful, it’s not even a month yet, it’s already able to say hungry.”

Lin Ran did not understand Song Zhi Xu’s words, he just nodded his head and indeed he was hungry. Song Zhi Xu let go of Lin Ran and went to the bed again, holding the curtain as he turned to Lin Ran again and said, 

“Ran Ran, cover your eyes, I’m going to open the curtains.” Lin Ran immediately obeyed and covered his eyes with both hands, Song Zhi Xu slightly forced to pull the curtain open, the sunlight outside the window immediately jumped into the room, warming the room.

Lin Ran opened a slit between his fingertips and adjusted to the light in the room before he put his hands down and turned his head to look at Song Zhi Xu who was standing against the light. The sunlight was too bright for Lin Ran to see Song Zhi Xu’s expression, but he still held out his hand to Song Zhi Xu and asked him to carry him out, and after a while he was picked up by Song Zhi Xu as he wished and led out of the bedroom. Lin Mu and Mu Qingting were no longer in the living room, so Song Zhi Xu put Lin Ran on the sofa and knocked the door of the side room, but after a while there was no response. He opened it and looked inside, no one was there anymore. 

Mu Qingting had work to do so he must have already left yet Lin Mu was unexpectedly not here anymore either.

“Where’s Gege?” Lin Ran asked Song Zhi Xu as he knelt on the sofa and leaned over the backrest of the sofa to peek his head into the guest room. Song Zhi Xu shook his head and took out his mobile phone to call Lin Mu, but the other party had switched off his phone already, he called Mu Qingting again and it was answered after a few rings. 

“Old Song? Are you already fine?”

Song Zhi Xu looked at Lin Ran. He didn’t answer Mu Qingting’s words yet he asked him back, 

“Where’s Lin Mu?
