The Flower Of The High Mountain Is Pregnant With The Son Of The Sand Sculpture Ceo Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Confession Amidst Chaos—We Might Be Getting Married…

Lu Shangyan still didn’t have a suitable answer to that question. He looked down at the quilt resting on his legs for a long time, finally shaking his head.

“After I’m discharged, I want to go back and take a look first. Maybe then I’ll have the answer to that question.”

He had originally planned to work for another month during the summer break before going back, but now the situation was special, and many planned things couldn’t proceed smoothly.

Pei Yumin watched his expression and realized he was starting to think negative thoughts again, likely to sigh secretly when alone.

So, before Lu Shangyan could frown, Pei Yumin said in an undeniable tone, “I’m coming too.”

Lu Shangyan’s attention was instantly diverted: “How will you go?”

Pei Yumin didn’t bat an eye: “However you go, I’ll go.”

Lu Shangyan belatedly realized he had asked a pointless question, and added, “I mean, you can’t go. My aunt doesn’t even have a room for me there, let alone you.”

Hearing this, Pei Yumin immediately wanted to tell him not to go back either, but he didn’t want to deny any of Lu Shangyan’s decisions at this crucial moment.

So he negotiated, “It’s fine, I can stay in a hotel. You can stay in a hotel too. The lack of space at home is one thing, but your current physical condition is special; you can’t handle the hassle.”

Lu Shangyan pursed his lips: “But I won’t stay in the city the whole time. This time I want to go back to my own home. There are no hotels nearby there.”

Pei Yumin couldn’t imagine what a “home” without nearby hotels looked like, but a voice in his heart told him that this place definitely wouldn’t be very good, so he absolutely had to follow him.

So he grinned and leaned closer: “Your own home makes it even easier. I can sleep on the floor, as long as you let me in the door.”

Lu Shangyan felt a little awkward and tentatively asked, “What if there isn’t even a door?”

Pei Yumin froze for a few seconds, even less able to picture this so-called home, but he still pretended to be calm and said, “Then I’ll sleep by the entrance to protect you.” He shrugged: “See, I have double-door shoulders—a ready-made entrance.”

Lu Shangyan was amused by his words, and the subtle anxiety he felt earlier was dispersed. He was afraid of his true poverty being completely exposed to Pei Yumin. He was afraid of seeing a look of disdain on Pei Yumin’s face, even an unintentional, uncontrolled expression.

Since childhood, he seemed only afraid of exposing his true poverty in front of Pei Yumin. He wanted to maintain his remaining self-respect, but at the same time, he also wanted to know how far Pei Yumin could walk with him, and how special he could be.

Seeing Lu Shangyan soften, Pei Yumin quickly added, “Please, Lord Shangyan, let me go and protect you. I really don’t feel safe letting you go to that leech nest alone. I’m also afraid that after you go home alone, someone might steal you in the middle of the night. You’re so good-looking; there must be many people who want to snatch you away.”

Lu Shangyan opened his mouth, just about to say something, when Pei Yumin playfully burrowed into his arms, burying his head in his chest and wrapping his arms around his waist: “Lord Shangyan, I can’t live without you. Please let this humble servant accompany you.” Lu Shangyan didn’t push him away—Plan A successful. Pei Yumin took the opportunity to rub against his chest subtly: “Please, I really like you so much, so I absolutely cannot leave you. You must take me back with you.”

A confession amidst chaos, and Lu Shangyan still didn’t push him away—Plan B also successful!

This way, he could frequently test Lu Shangyan’s attitude, saying “I like you” a thousand, ten thousand times, making Lu Shangyan accustomed to his affection. Then, he would naturally present an engagement ring.

He smiled wickedly and adorably. Lu Shangyan saw it when he lowered his eyes, and of course, he heard the declaration of affection clearly. He didn’t react simply because he was startled, completely stunned by the words.

He hadn’t quite understood the relationship between him and Pei Yumin. He only felt it was special; Pei Yumin was excessively good to him. He had originally thought this was the sincere brotherhood of someone willing to go through fire and water for a good friend.

After all, he truly didn’t have a single good friend besides him.

So he had always treated the other person as a lifelong good brother.

He just hadn’t expected this path to suddenly curve in a way he hadn’t anticipated. For a moment, he didn’t know how to handle these feelings. To say he didn’t like Pei Yumin wasn’t true—he didn’t dislike him. To say he liked him—he wasn’t sure.

He had spent a long time thinking about how far Pei Yumin could walk with him, and now even that thought felt strange. All his plans were disrupted. Lu Shangyan began to suspect that perhaps deep down, he also…

As the thought surfaced, he shivered, and a sense of strangeness gradually rose in his heart. Finally, he decided that since he couldn’t figure it out, he would just continue down this curved path for now. Maybe after circling around, he would return to the path he had originally planned.

So Lu Shangyan turned his head away, trying hard to control the awkwardness in his voice: “Fine.”

Pei Yumin was completely unaware of the collapse and reconstruction of Lu Shangyan’s worldview in that short time, and still felt that his actions were flawless: “I knew you’d agree to me. You’re the softest on me. I really like you more and more.” He spoke quickly, and before Lu Shangyan could react, he appropriately changed the subject: “Should we bring more things when we go back? Your house hasn’t been lived in for so long; it must be missing a lot of stuff.”

Lu Shangyan couldn’t hear anything clearly now, yet he could precisely capture the word “like.” He took a silent deep breath: “Let’s talk about it when we confirm the discharge date. I want to rest for a bit now.”

Pei Yumin immediately got up and helped him lie down: “Alright then. Later, when the sun goes down and it cools off, I’ll take you out for a walk and we can eat out. I see you eating cooped up in the hospital room every day, and your appetite isn’t good.”

The relationship between good buddies had turned into the concern of “wanting to be his boyfriend.” Lu Shangyan felt Pei Yumin’s gaze was a few degrees hotter. After lying down, he turned his back. What used to be the most normal concern was now crashing around in his head, making him dizzy.

Pei Yumin sat on the sofa, seeing that he was motionless, assumed he was asleep, and picked up his phone to report his progress.

[m: Buddy, I just confessed directly to Shangyan. Pretty manly, right? And this time he didn’t push me away!]

[m: Little Shark Evil Smile.jpg]

[m: Not pushing me away means he has feelings for me. Having feelings means he likes me too. Liking me too means he’s willing to marry me, and marrying me means spending the rest of our lives together!]

[m: Buddy, I’m ready. I’ll taste the wine of marriage first. Wish me luck.]

[m: Little Shark Celebration.jpg]

[m: However, given your chaotic dating history, I can’t ask you to be my best man. If you really want to be involved, I can let you be the usher.]

Tang Suichen: …

[A Sour Lime: Bad luck!]

[A Sour Lime: Can you stop fantasizing? You might not get married before me.]

[m: I know you’re jealous of me, but there’s no need to compete with me. Marrying just anyone means you’ll never experience happiness like mine.]

[A Sour Lime: I have someone I like now, and this time it’s serious.]

[m: That sounds familiar. I think I’ve heard it many times.]

Tang Suichen couldn’t continue the chat. He dimmed the screen and tossed the phone aside, looking at the person showering in the semi-transparent bathroom.

He narrowed his eyes and called out, “Song Yuxin, why aren’t you done yet? Don’t you know we have a very important banquet to attend together soon?”

“My dad asked you to accompany me to help me, not to cause me trouble.”

Song Yuxin didn’t want this either. He was on a business trip with Tang Suichen. He was usually in charge of booking flights and hotels, but this time, Tang Suichen, for some reason, insisted on choosing himself. The result was that after they arrived at the hotel, Tang Suichen said he had only booked one room.

Song Yuxin wanted to book another king room, but no matter what he said, the front desk insisted there were no vacancies. So, the kind-hearted Tang Suichen invited him to share the room.

Sharing wasn’t a big deal; the suite was large enough, and he could sleep on the sofa. But unexpectedly, just a few minutes after entering, Tang Suichen insisted on making coffee, and then insisted on bringing it to him. Even though he held the cup steady, the coffee still spilled all over him. Fortunately, the water wasn’t too hot, or he would have blisters from his chin to his inner thigh.

“Aren’t you done yet? We have less than half an hour!”

Song Yuxin gritted his teeth, quickly dried himself, and put on a bathrobe. All his clothes were in his suitcase. When he went to grab his clothes, he found that the sofa, which had only been splashed with a few drops of coffee earlier, was now a complete mess.

Tang Suichen said slowly behind him, “Oh, I was thinking you’d be sleeping on it tonight, so I wanted to tidy it up beforehand. I didn’t expect to mess it up instead.”

Mess it up instead? Song Yuxin felt he was being deliberate, trying to drive him away.

Song Yuxin sighed, his tone flat: “After the banquet, I’ll ask the front desk again. If there really are no empty rooms, I can sleep on the floor. In any case, I will not leave you here alone. CEO Tang said I must keep an eye on you at all times this trip.”

Tang Suichen realized he had misunderstood, but didn’t explain, only saying, “Keep an eye on me at all times? Then why don’t you just sleep with me?”

A crack appeared on Song Yuxin’s usually calm face for the first time. Tang Suichen had never used such a disgusting method to try and drive him away before.

He lowered his head, grabbed his clothes, and quickly retreated to the bathroom. While changing, he figured it out. When they returned, he would ask CEO Tang to assign a few more personal assistants to Tang Suichen. That should help.

Pei Yumin also reported the good news to Yuan Qingyu, who was so excited she immediately knocked down a sandbag.

[Green Green Little Grassland: Son, marriage is a big deal, you must handle it well! If you really can’t manage, let Mom do it. I’ve been married; I have experience.]

Pei Yumin’s passion was ignited.

[m: Mom, does our family have any heirloom treasures? When Shangyan serves you tea, you must give them all to him.]

As soon as he sent this message, Lu Shangyan on the bed stirred. Pei Yumin gasped.

He endured it for a while, but finally couldn’t take it anymore and whispered, “Pei Yumin, can you call the doctor for me? My chest feels a little strange.”
