Guo Xuyang emerged after chatting with Xiao Yu for quite some time.
He didn't want to develop a relationship beyond friendship with Xiao Yu too early, but that wasn't something he could control.
What he didn't know was that he wouldn't live to see Xiao Yu go to college.
"You're out. Want to stay for dinner before you head back?" Zhan Yifang asked, seeing him leave Xiao Yu's room.
"No, I should go back. Otherwise, my mom won't know what to say to me. I'm leaving now, I'll come back to see you all later."
As Guo Xuyang hurried home, Wang Qi also emerged from her room.
She looked completely invigorated, having tidied herself up from head to toe.
"Qiqi, you've recovered?" Zhan Yifang was surprised at how well Wang Qi had bounced back.
"Mm. I didn't expect the meat Yang Zi brought to be so delicious," Wang Qi said.
"It's good that you've recovered. But why is your stomach still so big?"
"Isn't that obvious? Of course, a pregnant belly gets big."
"Yours looks incredibly large though? How long has it only been?"
"My physique is special."
As the two were talking, Wu Jia also entered.
"Qiqi, are you all better?"
"Mm."
"That's great! Shall we go out to celebrate tonight?"
"If you'd said so earlier, Yang Zi just left not long ago," Zhan Yifang said.
"That's easy, just call him," Wang Qi replied.
"You call."
"No problem." Wang Qi dialed Guo Xuyang's number.
"Yang Zi, I've recovered. Shall we go out to eat tonight?"
"It's best if you don't go out. Take it easy for now, and go out once you're completely recovered.
Let Wu Jia bring back some dishes from the restaurant for you to cook and eat yourselves."
"Is there a problem?"
"You should know your current situation. It wouldn't be good if people found out if you went out."
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Wang Qi hung up.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Yifang asked.
"Yang Zi said I shouldn't go out to eat with you. He said to wait until I'm completely recovered."
"If we're not going out, we're not going out. I'll go to the restaurant and grab some dishes. We can eat at home just the same," Wu Jia said.
"Thank you for your trouble."
"Don't say that, it's what I should do." Wu Jia went out.
"Why do I feel like Wu Jia is acting strange?" Wang Qi sniffed.
"Are you a dog? Is your nose that sensitive? After lunch, Yang Zi went to her place.
Before Xiao Yu had even left, the two of them got together, making Xiao Yu blush profusely."
"Weren't you blushing?"
"You old pervert, why would I blush? He's like a donkey, he doesn't get tired."
Zhan Yifang playfully chided her.
"What time?"
"Just after you arrived, he finished washing up."
"I feel like he's not entirely human, more like an alien," Wang Qi muttered.
"Don't talk nonsense. Aliens? Have you ever seen what an alien looks like?"
"It hasn't been long, and the little thing in my belly has already started kicking me.
You know, most people are pregnant for ten months, but this one is like this in less than a month."
"I feel like he's a bit different from before. He seems to like having children more and more now," Zhan Yifang said.
"But I'm quite curious, why did he spare Xiao Yu specifically? Xiao Yu is getting more and more beautiful now."
"Maybe he feels Xiao Yu's body isn't enough for him to 'fuss' with yet?"
Guo Xuyang was unaware that the women were discussing him.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Why are you back so early today? You usually come back late at night?"
"I missed you and Xiao Bao!"
Guo Xuyang chuckled and sat on the big bed, starting to tease Xiao Bao.
