The Flower Of The High Mountain Is Pregnant With The Son Of The Sand Sculpture Ceo Chapter 52
byChapter 52 Licking It Will Make the Swelling Go Down
Pei Yumin felt a rush of heat to his nose upon hearing that. He immediately raised his hand to touch it, relieved that it was still dry and he hadn’t gotten a nosebleed in front of so many people.
Lu Shangyan didn’t know what he was thinking, but seeing him not respond, and being thin-skinned, he couldn’t stand the awkwardness and said, “Let’s forget it. We can talk about it when we get back.”
He took a step forward, intending to continue helping, but as he passed Pei Yumin, the latter grabbed his hand and quickly rubbed the swollen area with his finger.
Lu Shangyan gasped, bending his back even more severely. He nervously looked around, and only after confirming that no one had noticed did he shoot Pei Yumin an angry look, questioning why he had done that.
Pei Yumin said, “It looks like the skin is about to break. If we don’t deal with it quickly, it might get worse.”
Lu Shangyan frowned, “Look? You saw it?”
“Your collar is very loose,” Pei Yumin explained, then started to feel annoyed again. “You’ve been working for so long. Did anyone see anything when you bent over?”
Lu Shangyan actually thought back and shook his head, “No.”
Pei Yumin tentatively believed him, then looked around. “There’s an academic building over there. Let’s go find an empty classroom, and I’ll take a look.”
Lu Shangyan was being pulled by the hand but refused to move from the spot. Pei Yumin looked at him in confusion, and the moment their eyes met, Lu Shangyan’s face flushed even deeper.
He remembered the last sports day when he and Pei Yumin had kissed in an empty classroom. They had stayed inside for a long time before coming out, and it had been quite awkward, as both of them had gotten aroused.
Now, seeing any deserted classroom on campus made him feel a little stressed. He always hurried past them. If they went into one again today, he was afraid he would get aroused again, and then things would spiral out of control in the classroom…
How would he ever attend classes at school again? He would probably be filled with dirty thoughts while listening to lectures. This was absolutely unacceptable for an excellent student like him!
Pei Yumin watched him purse his lips, his expression shifting from shy and helpless to determined. It was a strange transformation. Just as Pei Yumin was about to ask, he heard Lu Shangyan say, “No classroom.”
Pei Yumin sighed in relief. “I thought it was something serious.”
He grabbed Lu Shangyan’s hand and walked toward the parking lot. “No classroom, then we’ll go to my car. It’s parked right here in your school’s parking lot.”
Every time he came to Lu Shangyan’s school with such smooth access, he sincerely felt that the money he had donated was well spent.
Lu Shangyan relaxed and followed him without hesitation, because he was genuinely uncomfortable right now. Even if he just had to lift his shirt for a bit, it would be better than dragging this out. He felt like he was going to bleed from his chest in public!
That would be too embarrassing; he couldn’t let that happen!
However, he completely failed to realize that going to the car was worse than going to an empty classroom. In an empty classroom, Pei Yumin would still be afraid of someone coming, which would make him restrain himself.
But the car was Pei Yumin’s car. Once the windows were up, it was his kingdom of “mischief.”
As soon as they got into the car, before Lu Shangyan was even settled, Pei Yumin’s mouth came close. He half-leaned on him, abruptly lifted his shirt, and kissed his chest several times.
Lu Shangyan couldn’t handle this kind of stimulation. He immediately pushed Pei Yumin’s head away. “What are you doing?”
He instinctively shielded his chest with both hands, but less than two seconds later, he felt the posture was inappropriate and lowered his hands to his lap.
Pei Yumin hadn’t even kissed the spot he wanted to yet. Being suddenly pushed away left him stunned, his mouth still slightly open. He regretted not going straight for the target the first time!
Seeing Lu Shangyan’s eyes darting around, looking a little panicked, he temporarily suppressed the lust in his heart and resigned himself. “Should we go to the hospital, or should I call Uncle Wu directly for advice?”
Lu Shangyan shook his head. “No need. I already asked the doctor last time when you went to get the test results.”
Pei Yumin chuckled and leaned closer to him. “You’re not being good, hiding such a private matter from your husband.”
“Don’t use such strange terms,” Lu Shangyan was a little flustered, starting to stutter. “The doctor said this is a normal phenomenon caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy.”
Pei Yumin drew out a stiff “Oh,” then asked him, “Did the doctor tell you how to treat it?”
Lu Shangyan answered truthfully, “He prescribed an ointment. It’s in the bedside drawer in my room.”
Pei Yumin sat up straight. “Do you remember the name of the medicine? I’ll go buy you another box.”
Lu Shangyan gritted his teeth. “Just buy bandages. Applying the ointment now will just rub off on my clothes quickly.”
“I usually wear bandages when I go out, so it doesn’t hurt this much from friction. But because I was sweating while moving things today, the bandage lost its stickiness and fell off, which is why it’s like this now.”
Pei Yumin covered his face, then peeked at Lu Shangyan through his fingers. After a long time, he slowly let out a breath. “Lu Shangyan, I really don’t know what to say about you. You always manage to say things that…” He mentally added: “infinitely provoke my desire.”
Lu Shangyan asked, confused, “What?”
“Nothing.” Pei Yumin quickly got out of the car to cool down in the breeze. If he stayed any longer, something was definitely going to happen!
He spotted cartoon bandages on the shelf. The one in the center had a goofy-looking pufferfish. Without hesitation, he grabbed three boxes.
As he handed them to Lu Shangyan, he made another bid for himself. “I bought these. If you need to use them, only I can put them on for you.”
Lu Shangyan didn’t snatch them away, so he had no choice but to lift his shirt in front of him, pulling it up to his chest. He looked down; it was more swollen than before, and turned redder upon contact with the air.
Pei Yumin’s breathing stopped. His rationality was almost flying out the window. If Lu Shangyan were lying in bed and lifted his shirt like that, he guaranteed Lu Shangyan wouldn’t be able to get out of bed for days.
But, this was just his beautiful fantasy.
He quickly applied the bandages to Lu Shangyan, then kissed each of the little pufferfish, announcing without room for refusal, “When we get back tonight, I’ll lick them for you, to comfort the two little injured guys.”
Lu Shangyan opened his mouth, about to say no, but Pei Yumin got out of the car first. He had to chase after him and say, “You can’t lick them. It will make the swelling worse.”
Pei Yumin smiled brightly. “Just once. I promise I’ll be gentle.”
Lu Shangyan was about to speak again but was cut off by Jian Guo, who had found them.
Jian Guo’s face was flushed from the heat. “I’ve been looking for you two for ages. Hiding here to slack off, are we?”
Lu Shangyan said, “No, I sent a message to Xia Li.” He then pulled out his phone and saw that he had only typed the message but hadn’t sent it yet. He had forgotten because Pei Yumin had kissed him so quickly.
He lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed. Jian Guo keenly sensed something. Based on his past experience, he immediately drew a conclusion: “You two were doing something naughty in the car?”
Clearly, the “naughty thing” he and Lu Shangyan were thinking of were not the same, but Pei Yumin’s intention to lick him was already too much for Lu Shangyan. So, he buried his head even lower. Jian Guo became even more certain that they had been passionately engaging in some stimulating activity in the car.
Pei Yumin curled his lips and raised an eyebrow.
Jian Guo scoffed and told him, “Stop showing off.” Then he pulled Lu Shangyan away. Once they were far from Pei Yumin, he started sharing his experience with Lu Shangyan—how sex in the car was actually quite uncomfortable, you might enjoy it but you’d be sore all over the next day; how you must pay attention to hygiene, and prioritize your own comfort, not letting the other person lead you around; and also, how important it was to wear protection for safety…
Lu Shangyan seemed very innocent in this regard, and Jian Guo knew Pei Yumin was Tang Suichen’s friend. He was afraid Pei Yumin might be deceptive like Tang Suichen, and that Lu Shangyan might be tricked and hurt. So, he rattled on and on.
Lu Shangyan sighed, then remembered something and agreed wholeheartedly, “We really need to take good protective measures.”
He touched his stomach, then thought that maybe not taking measures wasn’t so bad either.
But Jian Guo’s eyes welled up with tears because of that sentence. Like an old father, he patted Lu Shangyan’s shoulder. “My boy has grown up.”
Lu Shangyan was startled and quickly covered his stomach, almost thinking his secret had been discovered.
However, this scene took on a different meaning in Jian Guo’s eyes. “I knew that scumbag only cared about himself and completely ignored you! Does your stomach hurt now?!”
“The dorm should be empty now. I’ll take you to shower and clean up, or it will get worse later.”
Lu Shangyan was very troubled. He found Jian Guo’s comments too strange, and he was a little shy. “No need. It doesn’t hurt.”
Jian Guo glared fiercely back at Pei Yumin, who was still smiling wickedly at Lu Shangyan’s retreating back. “I’m done with you.”
–
By the time everything was set up, the sky had darkened.
Xia Li decided to treat them to dinner to thank them for their help. Jian Guo was still angry and kept his distance from Lu Shangyan, but his eyes were fixed on Pei Yumin, afraid that this “scumbag” would do something naughty under his nose again.
Zhao Jian ate quickly. Seeing that Jian Guo had only picked at his rice, he leaned over and asked, “Are you going to eat this? If not, I’ll finish it for you.”
Jian Guo pushed the bowl over without looking. “Shut up.”
Finally full, Zhao Jian realized something was wrong. He leaned in and whispered, “Do you like Pei Yumin?”
“I’m telling you, you can’t have those thoughts! You shouldn’t steal a friend’s husband!”
Jian Guo widened his eyes. “How could I possibly like him!”
Zhao Jian looked back at him, their two delicate faces twisting and turning. Xia Li laughed. “Are you two going to pull each other’s hair out after eating?”
Hearing this, Jian Guo immediately snatched the strawberry hair clip from Zhao Jian’s head, pulling his wig askew.
Zhao Jian was furious. This wig was a new gift from Shi Yuxin, and he loved it dearly. He immediately sought revenge and shouted at Lu Shangyan, “Watch out for Jian Guo! This guy is malicious!”
Jian Guo put his hands on his hips, exasperated. “Don’t slander me! Lu Shangyan and I are good friends.”
Zhao Jian pulled out his phone. “Nonsense. Lu Shangyan, Xia Li, and I have a small group chat. The code name is Jian Li Bao (Healthy Chestnut Treasure). My Jian, Xia Li’s Li, and Lu Shangyan is the Bao (Treasure). Why aren’t you in it?”
Jian Guo looked at Lu Shangyan with a mournful expression. Lu Shangyan stiffly looked at Xia Li, who was staring down, not daring to say a word.
He had no choice but to take action himself and add Jian Guo to the group. As soon as Jian Guo joined, he changed the group name to “Jian Li Guo Bao” (Healthy Chestnut Fruit Treasure), then smugly raised his chin at Zhao Jian.
Lu Shangyan finally had a moment of peace. Just as he lowered his head to eat a bite of food, a mournful voice came from beside him: “Why am I not in your group?”
Lu Shangyan nearly bit his tongue. His brain spun rapidly. He whispered, “The group is for friends. You are not.”
Pei Yumin’s mood instantly lifted. He deliberately asked, “Then what am I?”
Lu Shangyan said, “Boyfriend.”
Pei Yumin let out a loud “Aww!” and then a whoop. After making sure he had everyone’s attention, he pretended to say to Lu Shangyan, “So I’m not a friend, I’m a boyfriend.”
Lu Shangyan, the person involved, regretted everything. Whether friend or boyfriend, their “love” was simply too intense. He, who had never experienced true friendship or love, was completely overwhelmed.
When he finally managed to escape the restaurant and return home, he faced an even more difficult challenge.
Pei Yumin took a picture of his ointment and sent it to Uncle Wu, explaining Lu Shangyan’s situation today and asking if he should continue using this medicine or switch to a new one.
By the time Lu Shangyan came out of the shower, Pei Yumin had memorized all the precautions.
He took Lu Shangyan’s usual towel and soaked it in hot water. “Lie down. I’ll give you a hot compress. The medicine will work better afterward.”
Pei Yumin often helped him with hot compresses before, and he had slowly gotten used to it. But today, when Pei Yumin approached him with the towel, he felt inexplicably awkward again. He tugged at his pajamas, trying several times but failing to pull them open.
Pei Yumin squatted in front of him, frowning in confusion. “What’s wrong? Is it worse?” He then added seriously, “You can’t avoid seeing a doctor. You promised me before; you can’t go back on your word. Hurry up and lift it so I can see.”
Lu Shangyan was nervous. Seeing Pei Yumin’s hand reach out, his heart pounded even faster. “You can’t lick it.”
Pei Yumin’s hand paused. He had forgotten about that. He hadn’t expected Lu Shangyan to remember, and he burst out laughing. “Why can’t I lick it?”
Lu Shangyan thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a suitable excuse. In the end, he could only tell the truth. “I’m a little scared.”
Pei Yumin pressed him down onto the bed, supporting himself with one hand and half-leaning over Lu Shangyan. He placed the hot towel on him with the other hand, causing Lu Shangyan to tremble. Pei Yumin didn’t move his hand, keeping it on the towel and gently massaging the area.
Lu Shangyan let out a soft moan and asked innocently, “Why are you rubbing it? It hurts a little.”
Pei Yumin’s breathing became ragged, and his heart raced, but the movement of his hand intensified. Only when Lu Shangyan was shaking almost to the point of fainting did he ask, “Scared of what?”
Lu Shangyan moved his legs, clamping them tightly together, then felt uncomfortable and simply bent his left leg, twisting his body to press down on his right leg.
Pei Yumin glanced at his legs, then at his embarrassed expression, and knew exactly what he was thinking.
So, he leaned in closer. “Did you only ask the doctor how to deal with chest pain?”
Lu Shangyan thought he was referring to the baby and immediately countered, “Do I need to ask him about other things?”
Pei Yumin mischievously kissed the corner of his mouth, then whispered close to his earlobe, “Didn’t you ask him why your body is acting strange, or why certain ‘sensations’ in your body are intensifying?”
Given Lu Shangyan’s personality, he naturally wouldn’t ask such questions. Pei Yumin was doing this on purpose!
When Lu Shangyan pursed his lips and remained silent, Pei Yumin leaned in again and whispered, “This is normal. It’s because your body’s hormones have changed.”
“You should have heard the doctor mention it.” He rubbed Lu Shangyan’s chest again. “Because of pregnancy hormones, even though it’s uncertain if you’ll produce milk in the future, this area will change.”
Lu Shangyan had thought there was something wrong with his body. He secretly sighed in relief when Pei Yumin explained this. “Really?”
Pei Yumin nodded. “Really.”
If that was the case, Lu Shangyan wasn’t afraid anymore. Since it was a normal phenomenon, he should face it directly. Next time he went to the hospital, he would carefully ask the doctor about all the precautions during pregnancy.
Pei Yumin bit his ear to bring him back to attention. “We’re dating. I’m your boyfriend. You should have told me about this sooner. I can help you relieve it.”
Lu Shangyan knew exactly how he would “relieve” it.
He saw Pei Yumin prop himself up again, inching closer. Lu Shangyan raised his hands to place them between them, but ultimately didn’t push Pei Yumin away. Instead, he let them fall back to his sides, uncontrollably gripping the bedsheets.
But the next second, his phone rang.
Pei Yumin was instantly annoyed. When the ringing stopped, he softened his voice and said, “Ignore it.”
Just as they were about to kiss, it rang again.
Pei Yumin gritted his teeth, picked up the phone, and saw it was Tang Suichen!
Ruining his good time again!
Tang Suichen couldn’t handle his own wife, so he was turning around and causing trouble for him!
Tang Suichen was feeling down. As soon as the call connected, he said, “Are you done with all the work? Can you come keep your good brother company? I’m really miserable right now.”
Pei Yumin snapped, “I’m not done! I haven’t even started anything yet! Stop calling me!”
Tang Suichen was startled, too shocked to be depressed. When he realized what happened, he checked his phone and saw the call had already been hung up. When he tried to call back to ask what was going on, he found he had been blocked.
Well, failure in both friendship and love.
Tang Suichen was utterly depressed. Two minutes later, the bedroom door opened, and Song Yuxin entered, looking helpless. He took the wine glass from Tang Suichen’s hand and asked, “I already agreed not to bring up divorce. Why do you insist on having a wedding?”
He had just received a call from Pei Yumin, who had mournfully complained and told him to control Tang Suichen. He truly hadn’t expected their private matters to affect others.
—
When Pei Yumin finished dealing with the matter and turned back, Lu Shangyan had already removed the cold towel and pulled his shirt down.
He frantically beat his own head in frustration: What a perfect opportunity to take things further! He actually missed it!
Forget it, he resigned himself.
He glared fiercely at his own uncooperative lower body, then walked stiffly to reheat the towel in hot water and handed it back to Lu Shangyan. “Apply this and rub it. It will feel better once it’s massaged, and then I’ll apply the medicine for you.”
He didn’t dare to rub it anymore, afraid of being consumed by lust. Lu Shangyan clearly had no intention of doing that kind of thing with him right now. He could flirt and take small verbal advantages, but he couldn’t possibly…
He sighed, picked up the ointment, and turned around, only to find that Lu Shangyan had actually taken off his shirt. He held the towel over his chest with one hand, looking at Pei Yumin with red ears.
Pei Yumin stumbled back several steps. “You’ll cause trouble if you don’t wear clothes!”
Lu Shangyan asked him, “Can you bring me the small night light I gave you?”
Pei Yumin quickly ran out, washed his face with cold water, and then dared to go back in.
Lu Shangyan turned on the night light and then ordered, “Turn off the main light. It’s a bit harsh.”
Pei Yumin shielded the switch. “I can’t turn it off. I’m losing my mind.”
Lu Shangyan glanced at him. “It’s a bit harsh. It’s uncomfortable.”
Pei Yumin sighed and had no choice but to turn it off. “We can’t sleep together tonight. I’m afraid I really won’t be able to hold…”
Before he finished speaking, he heard Lu Shangyan whisper, “We haven’t applied the medicine yet. You still have time to do whatever you want.”
Pei Yumin’s body went rigid. When he turned around, he was completely stunned. Lu Shangyan had said something like that—why bother with rationality!
He pounced, reaching out to rub Lu Shangyan’s waist, and lowered his head to kiss him cautiously.
Lu Shangyan bit his tongue to stay clear-headed. “You can’t… go all the way. I need to ask the doctor first.”
Pei Yumin’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times. He couldn’t swallow the endless craving. “I’ll use my mouth, and you use your hand. Is that okay?”
In the dim light of the small night lamp, Pei Yumin saw him nod slightly.
Lu Shangyan found that the situation with his chest had worsened.
It was even painful to wear bandages now. Fortunately, he didn’t have class the next morning, so he could stay home and rest.
After overcoming the hurdle of being naked together while sober, Lu Shangyan’s mental burden wasn’t as heavy as before. He could now wander around the house bare-chested.
Pei Yumin originally didn’t want to go to work. He was incredibly excited and just wanted more intimacy at home. Even though it had been a long time since they had helped each other out, the scent had long dissipated, and the used items were already in the trash downstairs, he still wanted to cling to Lu Shangyan.
Lu Shangyan had to trick him into going to the company by promising him another chance this week. Only then could he take off his shirt at home to feel more comfortable.
With nothing else to do, he went out onto the balcony to water the plants. During a break in his meeting, Pei Yumin checked his phone and saw a picture of Lu Shangyan bending over, facing the flower pots.
He started spinning his pen furiously, thinking that when he got back today, he would turn the camera to face the window and just listen to the sounds in the future. Otherwise, if Lu Shangyan kept doing things like this, he would go insane.
Lu Shangyan was oblivious to all this. After watering the plants, he took a photo and sent it to Pei Yumin.
[S: You forgot to water them. Several leaves have turned yellow.]
[M: Little shark crying.jpg]
[M: Thank you, darling, for taking care of them. I’m just like them; I wither without you.]
Lu Shangyan’s face flushed. When he came back to his senses, he realized his face was stiff from smiling.
He rubbed his face and asked Pei Yumin.
[S: Did you find a bigger house like I asked last time?]
