    Chapter 27

    As the days passed, Ji Gui’s abdomen bulged significantly, and he could only wear loose clothes to cover it up.But what Ji Gui didn’t expect was that the human faces in his sleep grew torsos and limbs.

    Their naked bodies were stained with blood and were bright and dazzling. The yellow and red gradually twisted and mixed together like two kinds of paint.They persisted in appearing in Ji Gui’s dream.

    And Ji Gui also turned a blind eye from the initial fear.

    Ji Gui also asked them a question – what is a natural disaster?

    But they all sighed in unison, and the sighs came down from high places, carrying an invisible sense of oppression and endless sadness.They said nothing and returned to the original dead silence.

    “Are you awake? Are you dreaming?” Shang sat next to Ji Gui and took away Ji Gui’s hair that was stuck to his mouth.

    Ji Gui raised his eyes to look at Shang, wrapped the quilt tightly and buried half of his head in it and whispered: “Yes, how do you know?”

    “Your eyes are moving.”

    “So you know that others are dreaming?” Ji Gui was slightly surprised. He lowered his eyes and thought that he seemed to know nothing.

    “Yes, what did you dream about?” Shang asked softly.

    Ji Gui has long been used to it, so he lost his initial fear. He said calmly: “There are many human faces. They will grin at me at first, and then their faces will stretch out like rubber bands, and their trunks and limbs will grow.”

    “Then they started to bleed, and there was blood all over the corners of their mouths, in their ears, and in their nostrils.”

    “It’s okay, take more medicine.” Shang said.

    Ji Gui felt that the medicine had no effect, but he did not dare to tell others, let alone Yuan Hui.Yuan Hui was like a thorn in his heart, hiding in the corner and always looking for the right opportunity to torture him.

    But when talking about Yuan Hui Jigui, another question comes to mind: “Shang, why do you think he kept me at that time?”

    “When?” Shang reached out and combed Ji Gui’s hair again.

    Ji Gui touched his hair, sat up unhurriedly, put on his coat, and carefully covered his lower body with the quilt.He gently held his abdomen and said, “It’s… Ivy.”

    “Ah… it must be very exciting for Yuan Hui. Think about how you killed your love rival and then knelt down to him. Isn’t the contrast cute?” Shang chuckled, his laughter sarcastic but also a bit plain.He was unconcerned about Ivy’s death, to put it lightly.

    But Ivy is a scar that will never heal to Ji Gui. Every time he dreams, he suspects that Ivy is staring at him with resentful and sad eyes among those faces.

    He asked this question with great courage, but Shang’s answer disappointed him.

    “What’s so cute about it?” So he frowned and looked at Shang and asked in a dissatisfied tone.

    He somewhat hated what Shang said. Although he knew it was not what he thought, he still couldn’t control his disgust.Sometimes he feels sad and wishes to be with her forever.But Shang will always reveal an inhuman disregard and ridicule inadvertently.

    Shang smiled and didn’t care much about Ji Gui’s attitude. He said: “Then think about it from another angle. Let’s take Yuan Hui as an example. Suppose Yuan Hui is cold to others, hitting or scolding, but he is affectionate and doting on you. You lie in his arms and watch him coldly reprimand others, but he turns to you and smiles dotingly. How do you feel?”

    “Impossible.” Ji Gui overturned this assumption before he could take it in.

    Don’t expect Yuan Hui’s love, and don’t overestimate Yuan Hui’s conscience.

    “Hypothesis, they say it’s a hypothesis, can’t you just think about it?”

    Ji Gui’s brows knitted into a straight line, and it was extremely difficult to imagine that scene.Soon, he said in disgust: “No, I can’t imagine it. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick. But I think with my personality, I will probably hate that kind of scene.”

    “Why? At least you are not the one who was reprimanded.” Shang turned his head and looked at Ji Gui and asked very seriously.

    Ji Gui really thought about it seriously.

    Why do I hate it?It’s not me who is suffering?But after hearing the description, his first reaction was hatred, no, hatred.I hate it even if I don’t even want to look at it!

    Why?

    He thought about it again and realized that when he saw those people, he would hate himself, hate those who caused pain, and hate everything.

    His sharp-knuckled hands grasped the quilt tightly, his head tilted back to look at the ceiling, his eyes a little distracted, and his tone was unusually calm: “Because I hate it so much.”

    “…”

    Shang was silent for a moment and seemed to be in a happy mood, but Ji Gui didn’t notice it at all.

    “Is that so…” Then, Shang said these three words meaningfully, as if he wanted to imply something but didn’t want to say it at the moment.

    Just when he fell into an indescribable atmosphere, Ji Gui’s stomach made a loud “grumbling” sound – he was hungry because he hadn’t eaten breakfast.

    “No one has delivered food yet…” Shang looked up at the clock on the wall, which read 9:06 am.

    Ji Gui has not eaten on time since Jiang Nongyu left. The new servants have a very bad attitude towards him and are often late when delivering meals.

    Ji Gui said: “Wait a minute. By the way, do you know how Jiang Nongyu is doing? Haven’t you been out before? You should know.”

    “I was fired.” Shang said concisely.

    “I know.” Ji Gui got into the bed again and retracted his head.

    About half an hour later, the new servant arrived belatedly.He opened the door and made a loud noise, then placed the porridge heavily on the table. He turned to look at Gui impatiently: “Come to eat.”

    Ji Gui said to him expressionlessly: “Bring it to me.”

    “Tsk.” The servant frowned impatiently and cursed, “Is your leg broken?”

    “Broken, bring it to me.” Ji Gui quickly replied.

    The servant gave him an angry look and reluctantly brought it over and stuffed it into Ji Gui’s hand, causing a few drops of porridge to spill out and land on Ji Gui’s hand.

    Ji Gui said “Ah” and then quickly threw the bowl forward, just in time to splash on the servant’s clothes.

    The bowl was spinning around in a circle on the ground, and the white porridge was scattered all over the floor.

    “What are you doing?!” The servant hurriedly patted his clothes, then raised his voice and glared at Ji Gui.

    Ji Gui looked indifferent and said, “Sorry, the porridge is too hot.”

    The servant gritted his teeth and took out the birth control pill that Ji Gui must take every day from his pocket, then grabbed Ji Gui’s face and dug his nails deeply into Ji Gui’s flesh.Ji Gui gritted his teeth and refused to open his mouth, not daring to struggle much for fear of hurting the child in his belly.

    He subconsciously looked at Shang, who sighed and had no choice but to step forward and put his hand through the servant’s head.

    The next moment, the servant moved his hand for a moment, then took back his hand to support his head and murmured: “It’s strange why I feel dizzy all of a sudden…”

    He shook his head again, still looking dazed. He frowned and wanted to leave. Looking at the medicine in his hand, he had no choice but to give it to Ji Gui: “Eat quickly so I can check.”

    Ji Gui expressionlessly swallowed the medicine in one gulp. In fact, the medicine was transferred by Shang the moment he swallowed it.

    “Let me see.” The servant shook his head again.

    Ji Gui opened his mouth.

    “Okay, by the way, you can clean up the floor yourself and don’t expect me. And you can go eat by yourself, don’t you have long legs? My husband has already married another Omega, who do you think you are?” After checking, the servant glared at Ji Gui and left quickly.

    With a “bang”, the door was slammed shut by him.

    Ji Gui looked down at the mess all over the floor and could only accept his fate and clean it up.

    After cleaning, he felt hungry.He touched his abdomen and felt that the size was acceptable, so he said to Shang, “I’ll go to the restaurant to eat.”

    “Then when are you older?”

    “…”

    “I’ll figure it out later.”

    In the restaurant, Ji Gui was drinking simple white porridge with two pieces of bread beside him. He couldn’t get enough from the porridge alone.

    He was thinking about how to hide the birth when he was one month old. Although he hated Yuan Hui, he had to admit that he couldn’t leave Yuan Hui and did not have the courage to leave Yuan Hui for the time being.

    He must find a way to deal with the new servant, but what can he do?Complain to Yuan Hui?Not to mention whether Yuan Hui forgives him, even if he forgives and is willing to stand up for him, close contact with Yuan Hui is inevitable.

    There is no way to hide the pregnancy like this.

    Looking for a housekeeper?

    On the way back, Ji Gui was thinking about what to do, so he didn’t notice Bai Yi walking towards him.Bai Yi’s abdominal bulge was obviously much larger than Ji Gui’s, and he could see Ji Gui from a distance.

    “Ji Gui.” Bai Yi shouted when he was a few steps away from Ji Gui.

    Only then did Ji Gui realize that Bai Yi was standing in front of him. He immediately lowered his head and stood on the side of the corridor to make way for Bai Yi.

    Bai Yi was amused and at the same time looked at Ji Gui with disdain. He stepped forward and said with a smile, “I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

    His tone was much gentler than before, and Ji Gui actually saw the shadow of Yuan Hui.Yuan Hui usually talks like this.

    “Yes, I have been staying in the room recently.” Ji Gui replied simply, hoping that Bai Yi would let him go as soon as possible.

    Bai Yi smiled slightly and took Ji Gui’s hand very affectionately. Ji Gui almost shuddered.He couldn’t help but raise his head and glance at Bai Yi doubtfully.Bai Yi held his hand and pulled him forward.

    “Why don’t you come out for a walk? I haven’t gotten used to seeing you for a while. You should come and talk to me more often.” Bai Yi behaved like a virtuous and generous wife who arranged for his Alpha lover. He even touched his belly with his other hand.

    Ji Gui lowered his head and did not dare to speak or break away.He knew that Bai Yi wanted to torture him as easily as Yuan Hui.

    “Alas.” Fortunately, Bai Yi didn’t care about Ji Gui’s answer. He sighed and said sadly as he walked, “It’s so hard to be pregnant. I feel like throwing up everything I eat now. I have sore waist and backache and can’t sleep in the middle of the night. Yuan Hui always spends the night outside recently.”

    Ji Gui didn’t speak, he didn’t dare to talk about Yuan Hui.

    “By the way, Yuan Hui went to your place to spend the night last time. Why do you keep running out recently?” Bai turned his head and looked at Ji Gui with a smile, with silent scrutiny.

    What?

    At this moment Ji Gui understood Bai Yi’s thoughts, and Bai Yi changed his mind and no longer wanted to send him away, but kept him to hook Yuan Hui.After all, it’s better than having your own Alpha out hunting for food.

    Ji Gui stared at Bai Yi’s swollen belly and naturally thought of his own. His eyelashes trembled and he didn’t know what he was thinking.Finally he whispered: “I made sir angry.”

    Bai Yi smiled and continued: “It’s so rare that he will be angry? What did you do?”

    “I’m sorry…” Ji Gui’s voice was low and he kept silent.

    Bai Yi glanced at him, retracted his hand, and said calmly with a reduced smile: “Okay, I won’t ask you. But don’t you think your attitude is questionable? You should try to keep your Alpha. He hasn’t been home for several days in a row. What are you doing at this time?”

    “I’m sorry, I will try my best.” Ji Gui’s answer was still simple, with his head lowered and looking unusually docile.

    “How to work hard? I didn’t see you working hard? I can’t understand how you stay in the room all day long at such a young age. I really don’t understand what you are doing in the room.” Bai Yi shook his head and looked very disappointed.

    “Yes…”

    “Okay, let me give you an idea. You stand at the door at six o’clock in the afternoon, waiting for him to come back. You must be good at the following things, and I don’t need to say more. You don’t have to go back to sleep until he waits, and then wait for me.” Bai Yi raised his smile again, and he looked quite bright with his good looks.

    Ji Gui didn’t dare to look, he quietly grabbed the corners of his clothes and rubbed them.This is a proposition. If he agrees and waits for Yuan Hui, he will be forced to go to bed. If he doesn’t wait, Bai Yi will hold him accountable.And if you escape this time, there will be another time.

    He hesitated and then plucked up the courage to say, “Mr. maybe he doesn’t want to see me. He was very angry last time…”

    “Why don’t you want to see him? Are you a roundworm in his belly? Besides, isn’t this a problem you should consider? If you can’t even keep your own Alpha, how can you survive?” Bai Yi gently caressed his pregnant belly with eyes full of eyes, but said cruel words in his mouth.

    “I…” Ji Gui turned his head and didn’t want to look anymore. His tone was vague and he clearly didn’t want to agree.

    Bai Yi raised his eyes and smiled: “There will be no useless people in the family, please think carefully.”

    After saying that, Bai Yi shook his head slightly and turned to leave.

    Ji Gui looked at Bai Yi’s walking back and turned to look at the high sky with an expressionless expression, feeling extremely depressed, as if it would collapse in the next second.

    He returned to the room and hugged Shang directly. He was reluctant to let go after five minutes, and then he told Shang what happened just now.

    Shang asked: “What are you going to do?”

    “I…” Ji Gui obviously didn’t think clearly that if he offended Bai Yi, he would be sent away.But getting close to Yuan Hui and exposing her pregnancy will also lead to her being sent away.No matter which choice you make, it’s a dead end.

    He must think of a reason to refuse, no, not just the reason must be an objective and unchangeable fact.Ji Gui looked at his feet again. The last sprain had long since healed.It’s not a bad idea to do it again.But this is too deliberate.

    Wait, maybe he can wait first and then pretend to faint. He doesn’t believe that Bai Yi can still hold him and wait!

    But what if you are sent to the hospital for examination?

    Then…wait for Yuan Hui. Whenever he sees Yuan Hui’s figure, he will pretend to faint and sneeze. It’s normal to catch a cold in the cold wind at night.Yuan Hui would never touch him as long as he caught a cold.

    ——

    “Is it delicious?” Liu Jin stirred his half-melted ice cream with a spoon, holding his chin with his other hand and looking at the return without blinking.

    She looks like a child, she talks like a child, moves like a child, and tastes like a child.When she smiles, she is very sweet, like the carefree wind.

    After becoming friends with Liu Jin, Liu Jin took him shopping.

    Ji Gui had never seen such a person before, and he replied: “Very sweet.”

    “I want to see the current me, the evil me with him.” Gui said suddenly after a few seconds of silence.

    Naturally, he was referring to Shang, as they were one and the same.

    “Eh? But it’s useless for you to go see him. You can’t kill him, because he is a part of you. He is you.” Liu Jin took a big scoop of ice cream and put it into his mouth, then directly picked up the cup and put it into his mouth regardless of the image.

    “I must at least tell that child his true face,” Gui said.

    “Okay, I’ll go tomorrow. I’ll take you there, but I’m not sure if I can do it.” Liu Jin put down the cup, took a tissue, wiped it on his mouth and threw it into the trash can.

    Then, she turned her head and looked at the TV in the store, where the news was playing.

    The TV picture is in the studio, and the news anchor with a serious expression is facing the camera.

    “Now the latest battle situation. According to the news sent back by frontline reporters, our army’s offensive on the X-37 planet is still continuing… We have encountered relatively tenacious resistance from the enemy… We will continue to pay attention to the specific progress of the war.”

    “But believe, victory will come to Chesloot.”

    Liujin yawned and said lazily, “You’ve become stronger, the evil one.”

    “Why?” Because he didn’t understand the knowledge of natural disasters, he split into two selves before he accepted the knowledge.

    “Because natural disasters are always born in disasters and become stronger in pain.” Liu Jin recalled the knowledge that Yi had taught her, and answered unhurriedly, “War is the best nourishment.”

    ——

    The night falls, and the cool wind blows the branches.The cold air rushes into the gaps in the clothes and quickly takes away the body temperature.Ji Gui stood at the door facing the wind, and inside the door stood the servant who took care of him.

    The servant was staring at him intently, just waiting to find out his fault.

    Ji Gui looked back at the servant, who sneered: “Be serious, have you forgotten Madam’s instructions?”

    Ji Gui turned around and pulled his clothes back. Shang was originally by his side, but ten minutes ago, Shang suddenly looked away and said, “I have something to do.” Then he disappeared.

    Ji Gui, who was already cold, felt a cold wind blowing into his heart. He put his hands in his pockets and took the opportunity to touch his abdomen. Fortunately, it was very warm there.

    “What time is it?” Ji Gui asked.

    No response.

    Ji Gui turned around and stared at the servant expressionlessly, asking silently.The servant pointed to himself in disbelief: “You ask me?”

    “Are you deaf?” Ji Gui said angrily. He really couldn’t put a good face on this guy.

    He was so inexplicably malicious that Ji Gui couldn’t figure out where he had offended him.Or is it that most malice is often unjustified?

    “Tsk, 9:42.” The servant rolled his eyes at Ji Gui unabashedly.

    Ji Gui pursed his lips and turned back. He had stood for nearly four hours and his legs were now weak and he had to endure the cold wind.He looked up towards the end of the road leading to darkness, hoping that Yuan Hui’s figure would appear.

    But looking at it like this, it was another three hours, and Ji Gui let out a heavy sigh.The air around him fell silent, except for the rustling of leaves.Turning around, I saw the servant dozing off like a chicken pecking at rice.Ji Gui was inexplicably irritable, his hands and feet were cold and Shang was nowhere to be seen.

    So annoying.

    He leaned on the door panel and chose to be lazy. As a result, the servant suddenly woke up and looked at him and said fiercely: “What are you doing?”

    Ji Gui simply sat on the ground, lowered his head and said nothing.He stared at the projection on the floor with his eyes motionless, looking like a stone statue.

    “Get up.” The servant’s shadow fell on him.

    Ji Gui was very annoyed and wanted to close his eyes and have a good sleep.He really didn’t understand the servant, who still had to take care of him when he was drowsy.He really didn’t want to speak, so he closed his eyes and pretended he couldn’t hear.

    “Hey, don’t sleep!”

    As soon as I closed my eyes, sleepiness came over me like a tide, and my mind was so dizzy that it would soon fall into chaos.In a daze, he heard the servant calling him, but he was so sleepy that the sounds he heard were vague and small.He ignored it and fell deeper into the chaos.

    Half asleep and half awake, Ji Gui heard the servant give up on waking him up, and then heard footsteps disappearing away.At the same time, the cold wind slapped his face, but he was so sleepy that he couldn’t even open his eyes.

    While sleeping, Ji Gui saw countless people covered in blood.

    One of them was particularly eye-catching. She sat blankly staring into the darkness with her unfocused eyes. There was a long scar on her back that extended to her buttocks cleft.Ji Gui knew that face—that delicate face.

    She has big eyes, thick eyelashes, and small tear marks, but today her expression lacks emotion.

    Ji Gui stood still and looked at the others.Some eyes only had dark holes, some intestines flowed out, some bodies were cut in half, and some were intact.What is the same is their dull expression.

    A faint sigh fell in this space. Ji Gui Hanmao stood on his head and looked around, only to realize that it was a delicate-looking woman sighing.

    The woman turned her head little by little like an inflexible puppet, her unfocused eyes looked directly at Ji Gui, her lips opened and closed and her voice lacked emotion: “It’s time for you to wake up.”

    Ji Gui suddenly woke up in a cold sweat, only to find a pair of polished leather shoes and a falling shadow before his eyes.

    He subconsciously raised his head – Yuan Hui’s hair was slightly messy and he smelled of alcohol, and his eyes were slightly narrowed with a subtle smile that was different from usual.

    Yuan Hui leaned down, his hair blown up by the wind.He raised the corners of his lips and asked, “What are you doing here?”
