A large, heaping bowl of egg fried rice was completely stuffed down the stomach of the skinny and petite Su Yuyao.
Watching her, Lin Yu felt both surprised and worried.
After what Su Yuyao had said earlier,
Lin Yu was genuinely afraid that she would feel unwell after eating and throw it all up, which would only make her suffer even more.
However, seeing that Su Yuyao showed no signs of nausea or dry heaving at the moment, Lin Yu could only swallow his worry for now and set it aside.
It was already very late.
When Lin Yu returned, he took the private jet prepared by Qing Mo.
But even so,
By the time he arrived here, it was already past nine in the evening.
After bustling about, frying some rice, and eating,
By the time she finished eating just now, it was already past eleven at night.
At this hour, it was about time for most young people to wash up and go to bed.
Let alone a pregnant woman.
Lin Yu wasn't very clear on the physical condition of a pregnant woman.
He didn't know if there were any taboos in their daily life or diet, or if there was anything that needed special attention.
Therefore, Lin Yu could only treat Su Yuyao with the utmost caution, as if she were fragile porcelain.
What she could or couldn't do, what she could or couldn't eat...
None of it could be taken lightly! Better safe than sorry!
Moreover, at this hour, she really ought to hurry up and go to sleep.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu took the empty bowl and chopsticks in front of Su Yuyao, planning to take them to the kitchen to wash. At the same time, he didn't forget to look at her and say,
"Alright.
You're done eating.
Hurry back to your room and rest.
It's getting late."
Actually, while Su Yuyao was eating, Lin Yu had already noticed.
She was already somewhat sleepy. Her long eyelashes drooped slightly heavily, laden with drowsiness.
However, to Lin Yu's surprise, upon hearing these words, Su Yuyao suddenly went wide-eyed.
She hastily stood up, took a step closer to Lin Yu, raised her small hand, and once again grabbed the hem of his shirt.
She looked as if she was terrified that Lin Yu would leave.
"I'm not leaving."
Lin Yu understood the worry and tension in Su Yuyao's eyes, and he comforted her softly,
"I'm just going to take the dishes to the kitchen to rinse them off.
It'll just take a moment.
I'll come find you right after.
Okay?"
Lin Yu coaxed her gently and patiently.
But Su Yuyao wasn't buying it.
She lowered her head slightly, shook it stubbornly, and the small hand gripping his shirt hem tightened even more.
Lin Yu absolutely did not dare to go against this little miss.
Seeing her persistence, Lin Yu could only change his mind and place the dishes back on the table.
"Alright, alright.
We'll go rest right now.
Are you satisfied now?"
Lin Yu's voice was gentle yet helpless.
Su Yuyao raised her small face and glanced at Lin Yu.
She didn't answer him. Instead, she let go of his shirt, opened her arms, and softly hugged Lin Yu, snuggling into his embrace.
A warm, fragrant, and soft body entered his arms.
Lin Yu wasn't exactly thrilled though; rather, he was nervous to death, and his body even grew a bit stiff.
It took him quite a while to react. A beat too slow, he raised his arms and loosely hugged the person in his embrace.
Given Su Yuyao's current physical condition, Lin Yu simply didn't dare to touch her too much.
He knew how heavy-handed he could be.
So even a hug became a cautious affair.
For fear of hurting the mother and child.
Su Yuyao's arms were just holding him softly, not too tight.
But with their bodies pressed together, Lin Yu could clearly feel that unique sensation that even two layers of clothing couldn't block out.
Lin Yu didn't know how to describe that feeling.
He only felt that Su Yuyao's abdomen seemed to be stretched to a very swollen, full state.
So full that one couldn't even feel the natural softness a human body should have.
At the same time, Lin Yu felt the pulse of a new life even more profoundly.
He felt it tangibly and truly.
It was a hundred times more profound than just taking a few passing glances.
"Alright, alright.
Let's go to sleep.
It's getting late."
Lin Yu let go of Su Yuyao and urged her to go to bed.
"Together."
Su Yuyao grabbed Lin Yu's shirt hem again, speaking pitifully yet stubbornly.
"Okay."
Lin Yu nodded and agreed without any hesitation.
After returning to the bedroom with Su Yuyao and carefully helping her lie down on the bed, Lin Yu pulled over a stool and sat by the bed, holding Su Yuyao's hand and keeping her company.
Lin Yu didn't go take a shower; after all, he had just washed up in the late afternoon.
He still smelled nice, so there was absolutely no need to shower again.
However, Lin Yu felt a bit guilty.
After all, the fragrance on him didn't seem to be just the smell of the hotel's body wash.
But thinking that Su Yuyao didn't know anything anyway, Lin Yu felt it didn't matter.
Looking at Su Yuyao's thin face, Lin Yu suddenly noticed her resentful gaze and slightly pouting thin lips, making her look a bit unhappy.
Lin Yu immediately leaned in and considerately asked in a soft voice,
"What's wrong?"
"Are you leaving later?"
Su Yuyao asked quietly, sounding a bit wronged.
"I'm not leaving.
I'll stay with you the whole time."
Lin Yu didn't know why Su Yuyao would suddenly say such a thing, but he immediately made his stance clear.
Su Yuyao's thin lips pouted again, and her long eyelashes were stained with a few wet traces, making her look even more pitiful. She lowered her voice and asked aggrievedly,
"Then why aren't you coming up to sleep with me?"
"I... I'm a restless sleeper.
I'm afraid that if I fall asleep on the bed, I might roll over or kick my leg and accidentally hurt you."
What Lin Yu said wasn't an excuse. He was genuinely worried about this, terrified of inadvertently hurting the mother and child.
The more he cared, the more careful he became.
But this concern was only one part of it.
On the other hand, Lin Yu still couldn't quite let go of his inhibitions.
He could barely remember anything that happened that night after Xu Mingyao left.
Therefore, when it came to Su Yuyao, Lin Yu couldn't just suddenly transition from a state of unfamiliarity to one of deep intimacy.
Lin Yu felt he still needed some time to adapt.
Upon learning that she wasn't being rejected, Su Yuyao's mood improved a bit, but she still asked, slightly unwilling to give up,
"Then where are you sleeping tonight?"
Lin Yu turned his head to look around, then lowered his head before looking back up at Su Yuyao and saying,
"I'll just sleep on the floor right next to your bed.
I'll have someone bring over a set of blankets in a bit.
I'll stay right here with you tonight.
But you need to be careful.
Don't step on me if you get out of bed in the night."
Su Yuyao originally hadn't meant to laugh.
But looking at Lin Yu's deeply tanned face—one she hadn't seen in a long time, whose features hadn't changed much but whose skin had grown darker and darker—she really couldn't hold it back.
Especially when she thought about what would happen after the lights were turned off at night.
With his skin tone, if she wasn't paying attention, she might actually end up stepping on him.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
