Qin Tianyi felt quite surprised that someone had taken a close-up photo of him at the rescue site and posted it online. “Who knows? We didn’t check our phones for trending topics all the way here. We just wanted to catch up on sleep.”
Susu said, “This is a good thing. Look how proud your son is of you, a great hero.”
Qin Tianyi had only been thinking about saving people and helping others, acting purely on instinct. He hadn’t considered going viral. He put down Little Star and said calmly, “It’s only right to help others. Look, Dad is too dirty, I need to take a bath. You go play by yourself for a while.”
Little Star obediently let go of him. Susu patted Little Star’s head and said, “Go play with Xiao Mei. Your dad and I both need to wash up.”
Seeing that Qin Tianyi was covered in dirt from head to toe, Aunt Chen chuckled, “Young Master must have been rolling in the mud. You’ll need a few tubs of water to wash off. I’ll help you prepare the bathwater.”
Qin Tianyi indeed used several tubs of water before he managed to clean himself thoroughly.
Susu offered to scrub his back in the bathroom, but he refused, afraid he might lose control or hurt Susu and the baby she was carrying.
Susu had no choice but to wait for him to finish. She leaned back comfortably on the chaise lounge, watching the trending news about the mudslide in Eshan County. Beneath Qin Tianyi’s dirt-covered photo, there were already tens of thousands of comments.
The comments were a mixed bag: “Even with all that mud, it can’t hide this handsome guy’s good looks!”
“A man who risks his life to save others is incredibly charming…”
“Does this young man have a girlfriend?”
“He’s a big group’s CEO, married with kids. Stop dreaming…”
“Handsome, rich, and righteous. I admire this President Brother so much!”
…
Susu scrolled through the comments, feeling proud of having such a husband, yet also finding it amusing. Now Tianyi was more popular than those trending celebrities, becoming the dream lover for countless women…
“What are you looking at? You’re smiling so happily.” Qin Tianyi emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, feeling refreshed. He sat down beside Susu.
Susu showed him her phone, grinning, “I found photos of you saving people online. Look at the comments below, it’s hilarious! You have so many fans and admirers now.”
Qin Tianyi confiscated her phone, refusing to look at it, and said he wasn’t interested in the online comments. “Alright, less phone time. Aren’t you tired from traveling back and forth? Get some good sleep.”
“Hey, give me my phone back!” Susu protested. “I haven’t finished reading yet. Let me finish the comments…”
Qin Tianyi ignored her protest, picked her up, and gently placed her on the bed. He lay down beside her, placing his hand on her belly, and said, “Alright, you can read it tomorrow. If you don’t rest, the baby inside you needs to rest.”
Susu reluctantly hooked her arms around his neck and said, “Look at our handsome President Brother. He’s covered in bruises and contusions everywhere. You must go to the hospital for an X-ray tomorrow.”
As she spoke, she pressed down on a bruised spot on his arm that was still bleeding slightly. Qin Tianyi immediately frowned.
Susu got up and said, “It seems being a hero isn’t easy. I’ll apply some medicine for you first…”
Qin Tianyi, however, reached out and pulled her closer, letting her lie down. “No need for medicine. I promise I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow.”
But Susu still felt sorry for him. Thinking that it wouldn’t hurt to apply some medicine, no matter how effective it was, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.
Susu couldn’t resist and responded to him.
He kissed her with increasing passion, finding it sweet and fulfilling.
Susu couldn’t help but react, her breathing quickening. She pushed him away with her hands, “Tianyi, no, no… we have to be patient…”
Qin Tianyi’s kisses turned into nibbles. He bit her left shoulder, sighed, and fell to the side, trying to control himself. “This is so hard! Once the two little ones are born, I’m going to spank their little bottoms soundly.”
Susu’s face flushed crimson. She also tried to calm her own stirred-up emotions and said, “Let’s sleep in separate rooms.”
“I won’t. For my daughters, I can endure,” Qin Tianyi said, then snuggled up to her again, kissing her hair without any trace of desire.
“But you said what if they’re both boys? You, who favors daughters over sons, will be furious, won’t you?” Susu said, leaning against him with a smile.
“It won’t happen. They’ll definitely be two daughters, or a boy and a girl,” Tianyi said confidently.
Susu smiled and refuted him, “But the doctor said we won’t know the gender until the fourth month. Why are you always so sure…”
As she spoke, she noticed his breathing change. She realized he had buried his head in her hair and fallen asleep.
Susu carefully shifted her body, got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and fetched another dry towel. She gently wiped his short hair, which hadn’t completely dried yet, then covered him with the blanket before falling asleep comfortably in his arms.
…
Waking up early the next morning, Allen first fed Yang Sijie breakfast before he had time to sit down with a glass of milk and look at his phone.
Yang Sijie sat opposite him. Although he had finished eating, he still held a spoon like a two-year-old child, tapping it against different plates and making a mess of the dining table.
Allen stared at the news about the mudslide in Eshan County on his phone, ignoring him.
He saw a photo accompanying the news, and the person in it was Qin Tianyi. The report stated that a famous entrepreneur had gone to Eshan Orphanage to donate and coincidentally encountered the mudslide, saving many children and orphanage staff at the risk of his own safety.
However, Allen felt a sense of crisis and couldn’t help but look up at Yang Sijie, who was drooling and waving his spoon around. He suspected Qin Tianyi’s visit wasn’t just for a donation.
Could it be that Qin Tianyi had discovered Yang Sijie the last time he took him to the orphanage, and he had gone there to investigate Yang Sijie’s whereabouts?
No wonder he had been feeling like someone was watching him around the dessert shop lately. Could it be people sent by Qin Tianyi?
It seemed he and Yang Sijie could no longer stay in Lancheng. They had to leave as soon as possible and go somewhere else.
He had thought that the most dangerous place was the safest, but now it seemed Qin Tianyi would eventually find this residential area.
With Yang Sijie, his target was too conspicuous. He needed to plan carefully how to leave Lancheng and where to hide.
Yang Sijie suddenly made noises at him. Allen noticed a plate had been knocked over onto the floor. He quickly got up to pick it up and placed it back in front of Yang Sijie.
“Freyke, stop playing. Go to your room. I’m going out.” He then pushed Yang Sijie into a room with padded soundproof walls on all four sides, containing some safe and harmless toys.
Yang Sijie’s condition was better than when they first met. He was no longer completely immobile and unresponsive like a disabled person.
Now his hands could move, and he occasionally showed emotions, much like a two-year-old child, except his legs were still numb.
Having been a doctor himself, Allen knew that Yang Sijie’s recovery to this point was already a miracle. No matter how much rehabilitation and training he provided for Yang Sijie’s legs, he would never be able to stand normally again.
