The Flower Of The High Mountain Is Pregnant With The Son Of The Sand Sculpture Ceo Chapter 27

Jian Guo blinked at him with an extremely innocent and harmless expression. After realizing what he had just heard, his lips unconsciously pouted.

His eyes were round and watery, and combined with his feminine and cute appearance, the expression he made looked like he had suffered a great grievance.

Lu Shangyan only glanced at him before immediately asking, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Seeing Jian Guo’s appearance, Pei Yumin was starting to feel soft-hearted, but the moment Lu Shangyan showed concern for him, the sour taste of jealousy immediately rose again.

He leaned half his body across the table, positioning himself between Lu Shangyan and Jian Guo, preventing Jian Guo from feigning distress to attract Lu Shangyan’s attention again.

Seeing the confusion etched on Lu Shangyan’s brow, he decided to go all the way. He mimicked Jian Guo’s pouting expression, trying to attract all of Lu Shangyan’s attention to himself. He whined softly, “My body feels so uncomfortable.”

Then he turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Jian Guo threateningly. “So, could I trouble this classmate to move? I want Lu Shangyan to properly examine me. Otherwise, with a table between us, I’m afraid he won’t be able to see clearly.”

Jian Guo looked at him sideways. “Lu Shangyan studies stomatology. I think you’re the one with a brain illness. Wrong specialty.”

Pei Yumin’s “thank you” was choked back by Jian Guo’s words. He bared his teeth and glared at Jian Guo, yet used an even more aggrieved voice to say, “I really am sick. I feel like my head hurts, my heart hurts, and my back and legs hurt.”

“Hurry up and move aside. Let Classmate Lu listen to my heartbeat first. I feel like my heart is thumping too fast right now. I can barely breathe. We can’t delay any longer.”

Jian Guo looked speechless, understanding his intention, but he remained seated, unmoving. Lu Shangyan watched them deadlock, attracting the attention of the surrounding students, but he thought for a long time and didn’t know what to do.

In the end, it was Xia Li who couldn’t stand Lu Shangyan’s distress and offered, “How about you switch seats with me?”

Pei Yumin kept holding Lu Shangyan’s wrist and didn’t let go until he was seated beside him. In front of Jian Guo, he even placed Lu Shangyan’s hand over his chest and rubbed it several times. “Feel carefully, isn’t my heart beating fast?”

Lu Shangyan frowned, his face filled with worry, and his breathing became erratic. Seeing him like this, Pei Yumin suddenly felt terrible and quickly said, “Doctor Lu is truly a miracle worker. I was feeling so uncomfortable just now, almost fainting, but after you touched me a few times, I instantly felt better. I don’t feel uncomfortable at all now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shangyan tilted his head, unsure how to respond. Pei Yumin, afraid he might figure things out, took his textbook, opened it, and placed it in front of him. “Aren’t you supposed to be reviewing? Hurry up and study. Don’t worry about me, I’m really fine now.”

He wore the seductive look of a thoughtful fox spirit, which almost made Jian Guo gag. “Shangyan, where were we discussing just now?”

Lu Shangyan might not understand many things, but when it came to studying, he needed clarity. Hearing the question, he immediately looked over.

Pei Yumin placed his hand on the book. “I’ll look too.” Then he forcefully squeezed himself between the two again, disrupting not only their corner but also half the people in the library from studying.

Xia Li was afraid that the four of them would end up on the campus confession wall the next day, being ridiculed by thousands of people online, so before they started another round of infighting, he spoke up. “It’s getting late now. Why don’t we go eat first? We have exams soon anyway, and proper rest is important too.”

Pei Yumin, who couldn’t understand the specialized textbooks, immediately agreed to the suggestion to save face.

Lu Shangyan saw him blinking his starry eyes at him and couldn’t refuse, so he nodded in agreement. Jian Guo saw him start packing his bag and quickly stuffed his own things into his backpack. “I’m going too.”

Pei Yumin paused while reaching for Lu Shangyan’s bag. “Why are you going? I don’t know you.”

Jian Guo smiled at him. “You really don’t know me?”

That threatening feeling returned. Pei Yumin hated it, but before he could subtly retort, Jian Guo moved closer to Lu Shangyan, raising his chin as if reporting something. “I’ve seen you several times at the bar before.”

Pei Yumin gritted his teeth. “So what if you have? I’m an adult, and I haven’t done anything improper.”

He was subtly implying that Jian Guo was improper.

Jian Guo glared at him and chased after Lu Shangyan to continue talking. Pei Yumin naturally refused to be outdone and followed suit. The two desperately tried to find topics to chat about with Lu Shangyan along the way, causing the latter immense annoyance.

There were fewer people once they reached the school gate. Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace to walk closer to them.

Lu Shangyan smiled wryly. The moment he looked up, his eyes met another pair.

The person was wearing a black and white suit dress, her hair casually draped behind her. The moment their eyes met, she raised her hand and took a drag from a cigarette. As the smoke rose, she narrowed her eyes and smiled at Lu Shangyan, seemingly intentionally.

Lu Shangyan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly averted his gaze. When he looked back a few steps later, the woman was gone, and the car parked by the roadside was also missing.

Pei Yumin noticed his change in mood. “What’s wrong?”

Lu Shangyan shook his head gently. “Nothing. Let’s walk faster, I’m a bit hungry.”

How could Pei Yumin let him starve? He wished he could carry him to the dining table, but once they arrived at the restaurant, he refused to move.

This was the place where Lu Shangyan first said he would treat him to meals for a lifetime! It was their first “lifetime”!

And now Lu Shangyan had brought two other irrelevant people along!

He tugged at Lu Shangyan’s sleeve, shaking it, his face full of hurt. “I thought you only brought me here. This place is incredibly significant to me.”

Jian Guo deliberately bumped his shoulder. “I’ve been here with Lu Shangyan several times before.”

Then he walked into the restaurant with familiarity, chatting warmly with the owner, clearly a regular customer.

Pei Yumin grew even more jealous. He sat there for a long time without saying a word. Even when his bowl was served, he just poked at it with his chopsticks, not taking a single bite.

Even if Lu Shangyan was slow, he knew Pei Yumin was upset, but he couldn’t figure out the exact reason, so he tried to coax him in other ways. “Is it not to your taste?”

“Of course not!” Pei Yumin sat up straight, afraid that Lu Shangyan would only bring Jian Guo next time and not him.

Lu Shangyan softened his voice. “Do you want to go eat something else later, see if you can eat that?”

Pei Yumin felt cared for, and his mood improved. He looked at Jian Guo triumphantly and deliberately said, “My appetite is good now. I really want the cherry tomatoes in your bowl.”

Lu Shangyan didn’t hesitate, picking out all three of the only cherry tomatoes and placing them in Pei Yumin’s bowl. Lu Shangyan usually liked spicy food, but he hadn’t added spice for his own stomach’s sake. Pei Yumin lowered his head and swallowed all three in one go.

Jian Guo scoffed, rolling his eyes dramatically at him. He didn’t give Pei Yumin a pleasant look again until after dinner was over and they parted ways. However, once he got into the car, he frequently checked his phone screen again.

In fact, ever since Pei Yumin appeared at school, he had been looking for opportunities to check his phone, but Tang Suichen still hadn’t sent him a single message.

He pursed his lips, thinking that he had been acting up for so long, yet Tang Suichen still hadn’t reacted. He even suspected that his performance wasn’t dramatic enough and hadn’t thoroughly angered Pei Yumin.

But the reality was completely different from what he imagined.

Pei Yumin had threatened Tang Suichen many times, making his life miserable for several days.

[m: Why are you so useless!]

Tang Suichen saw the message as soon as he opened his eyes, felt dizzy, and wanted to go back to sleep, but Song Yuxin already knew he was awake and pushed the door open. “President Tang, there’s a meeting at three this afternoon. You can’t be late again.”

Tang Suichen opened his eyes and saw Song Yuxin’s meticulous appearance, couldn’t help but laugh, and deliberately asked, “Do you think Little Guoguo and I are a good match? If we are, I’ll go chase him back. That way, I can save Pei Yumin some worry and hear fewer of his curses.”

Song Yuxin didn’t say a word for a long time, only managing to squeeze out, “I don’t know.”

Tang Suichen chuckled at his “troubled” expression. “Alright, help me pick out a suit. Today, I’ll wear the tie you gave me last year.”

–

Early on the morning of the last day of exams, Lu Shangyan received a call from his eldest aunt the moment he arrived at school.

As soon as he answered the phone, before he could even say “Hello, Auntie,” she started scolding him relentlessly. Some of the words were so vulgar that Lu Shangyan didn’t dare listen closely. However, he had heard it so many times since childhood that he was used to it, and his expression didn’t change even after she finished her tirade.

When Lu Shangyan reached the upper floor, the aunt finally finished scolding and stated the purpose of her call. “Are you not planning to come back? You ungrateful wretch, do you know what day it is today! Where’s the money! Why haven’t I seen the money yet? Or did you give all the money to that damned family when Lu Lin went to see you recently!”

She hadn’t called Lu Shangyan on her own initiative in the past six months. If she had called this time and not mentioned money, Lu Shangyan would have found it strange. “No, I plan to go back this summer vacation. I thought I’d give you the money directly then.”

The eldest aunt said impatiently, “There’s no place for you to stay at home. Just transfer the money directly.”

Lu Shangyan took a deep breath. “I’ll stay in the old house. I will definitely bring the money back. Don’t worry.”

The eldest aunt was still reluctant, but fortunately, she couldn’t rush to the school immediately. She cursed for a while longer before hanging up fiercely. “You must give an extra two thousand this time, or I won’t let you off!”

Lu Shangyan felt mentally exhausted, but thankfully it didn’t affect his exam, which made him sigh in relief.

When he came out after the exam, he noticed a new message on his phone. The profile picture was a blurry little flower. The sender asked him:

[Do you still take running errands? I can pay extra.]

With exams approaching, many people didn’t have time for their campus runs. Lu Shangyan finished his exams the earliest and usually took a few orders in previous years. Not only did he earn good money at this time, but it was also good exercise.

He had planned not to accept this time, thinking he had a hospital check-up tomorrow, but the memory of his eldest aunt’s scolding that morning faintly returned, along with the extra two thousand yuan.

If she wanted an extra two thousand, the other two aunts would also demand an extra two thousand. That added up to six thousand. Even if he threw in the money saved for his medical check-up, it might not fill the hole.

He regretted not transferring the money directly to their cards, but then he thought, if he had given it to them first, he probably wouldn’t even have the chance to see a doctor.

Lu Shangyan felt a headache coming on, but ultimately agreed:

[Send me the account and password. Transfer the money first.]

The other party knew it was hard to find someone at this time and immediately transferred one hundred and fifty yuan.

The distance for the run wasn’t too long. Lu Shangyan calculated that if he worked hard today, he could almost finish it, and then he would refund fifty yuan later.

But after running for about ten minutes according to the map on his phone, he started feeling unwell. His steps were unusually heavy, and he kept breaking out in cold sweats. Especially his lower abdomen, which felt constantly bloated.

At first, he thought it was because he hadn’t exercised for too long while busy studying, so he was just unaccustomed. He forced himself to run a bit further.

Now the bloating in his stomach stopped, replaced by a heavy, dragging pain. He took a deep breath to try and ease it, but his stomach felt like it was being pricked by needles. He pressed his abdomen, his vision went black, and he uncontrollably collapsed into a flower bed.

Pei Yumin knew what time Lu Shangyan finished his exam and planned to pick him up early to treat him to something delicious, hoping to ease his mood before the hospital visit tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered and looked around, he saw Lu Shangyan collapsed on the ground. He instantly panicked, rushing over and calling Lu Shangyan’s name several times, but there was no response. He wanted to carry him to the hospital, but he was terrifyingly weak and couldn’t exert any strength.

He could only ask a passing student for help. They carried Lu Shangyan onto the car, and then, afraid of causing an accident while driving, he had to wait in the car for an ambulance.

Once they arrived at the hospital, he immediately described Lu Shangyan’s recent physical condition to the doctor.

Lu Shangyan was unconscious and couldn’t cooperate with many tests. They could only draw blood first and then push him in for an ultrasound for a preliminary check.

Fifteen minutes later, the doctor sat in the chair with a serious expression. Pei Yumin’s face was frighteningly pale, and he didn’t dare ask what illness Lu Shangyan had for a long time.

He stared at the ultrasound screen for a moment and said with a trembling voice, “Doctor, is that in his stomach cancer cells? Why is it so big? It’s already metastasized and spread. No wonder he’s in so much pain.”

The doctor gasped. He was also a bit confused, but he managed to say with difficulty, “Those are not cancer cells. What’s in his stomach is a basically formed fetus. And that’s not metastasis and spreading; those are the initial differentiations of limbs.”
