Chapter 99 - Extra [Er Zhu VS Yu Hua]
It had been several days since Er Zhu had woken up, but his wound had not healed.
He felt dizzy and pulled at Shan Yu, saying, “Take me out of here…”
Shan Yu sighed softly: “It’s not difficult to leave, but what about Yu Hua?”
“Didn’t matter.”
“What about the child?”
“No more.”
Shan Yu was silent for a moment before asking, “Then why did you provoke him in the first place?”
“He was the one who provoked me first. I saved his life, but he repaid me with insistence that I marry him. His cousin even threatened me. He deserves this.”
“Having said that, if you didn’t like him, you could have just ignored him. Why did you let him get pregnant?”
“I…” Er Zhu dodged his eyes, “We slept on the same bed every day. There’s nothing wrong with it.”
“You can’t control yourself, and you still don’t want to take responsibility?”
“How can I be responsible? Look at his crazy behaviour. He doesn’t want me to be responsible; he wants my life!”
“You don’t want to be responsible. Why did you disagree when he said he didn’t want child in the first place? Now the fetus is so big. If you leave, whether the child is born or not, it will be a sin.”
“Why have I done something evil? He gets angry with me at every turn, even gets violent, and almost bit me to death. I’ve endured it all for the sake of my child, but my life is still important, and I don’t want to endure it any longer.” Er Zhu tightened his grip on Shan Yu’s hand: “Take me quickly. Let’s go back to modern times together!”
Shan Yu saw that Er Zhu had made up his mind and stopped trying to persuade him, “Decided?”
“Yes.” Er Zhu didn’t want to stay there any longer and said hurriedly: “Let’s go now.” As soon as he moved, the gauze around his neck was stained with blood again, and Er Zhu gasped in pain.
“Don’t move; your wound hasn’t healed yet. If you want to leave, you need to wait until you feel better.”
“Then I stay here, what if he kills me?”
“Are you suffering from paranoia?”
“I want to leave…”
“I told you not to move!” Shan Yu saw Er Zhu moving around and had no choice but to give him a shot. Then he called to the person behind the screen: “Come out.”
Yu Hua walked out slowly and looked at Er Zhu, who was sleeping on the bed with red eyes, and said nothing.
“Did you hear what he just said?” Shan Yu treated Er Zhu’s neck wound and said to Yu Hua without looking up: “If you want to keep him, just soften your attitude. Er Zhu is not patient, so I suggest you be gentle.”
Yu Hua didn’t say anything. After Shan Yu left, he sat down on the edge of the bed, holding his stomach.
Er Zhu was sleeping under the quilt with pale lips. His face was thin and his cheeks were abnormally flushed. Yu Hua reached out, checked his temperature, and discovered that he had started to have a fever again.
Yu Hua took a handkerchief and wiped Er Zhu’s face, listening to the sleeping man murmuring, “Lian Zhou…”
“You can’t forget him so much?” Yu Hua sniffed and smiled, tears falling like broken beads. “I also want to be gentler with you, but look at yourself. Even if you fall asleep, it’s hard for me to like you.”
Er Zhu’s fingers were wrapped around Yu Hua’s sleeves, and there was thick sweat on his forehead. He seemed to be having a nightmare. After shouting Lian Zhou’s name, there were countless screams of madness.
“Crazy…”
“Crazy…”
“Crazy…”
Yu Hua wanted to leave, but Er Zhu was gripping tightly. Unable to break free, Yu Hua decided to follow Er Zhu’s words and asked, “Who’s crazy? Lian Zhou?”
The man under the quilt shook his head and said, “Yu… it’s Yu…”
Yu Hua asked, “What about Yu?”
There was more sweat on Er Zhu’s forehead. He frowned, opened and closed his lips many times, and finally uttered a complete sentence, “Yu Hua… Yu Hua is crazy…”
Yu Hua raised his eyebrows and continued to follow Er Zhu’s words, “Well, Yu Hua is crazy, and he was driven crazy by you.”
“Crazy…”
“Crazy…”
“It’s not crazy,” Yu Hua slowly leaned over and whispered to the man who was talking in his sleep, “It’s Yu Hua, Yu Hua.”
Later, Er Zhu accepted the hint and called for Yu Hua for two days and two nights. When he woke up, his voice was hoarse and he could not speak. It was strange to see that the maids serving in the room were all smiling at him.
“The young master is handling official business in the study. Do you want to see him?”
Er Zhu shook his head hurriedly and heard the maid smile and say, “Master, don’t be embarrassed. In the past two days, you have been calling the young master’s name all the time. Just wait; I will call the young master over now.”
Er Zhu: “?”
Yu Hua arrived very quickly. After not seeing each other for a few days, his belly had become bigger and he looked more haggard.
“Are you awake?” Yu Hua asked Er Zhu with his panda eyes, “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Er Zhu shook his head. He didn’t really want to talk to Yu Hua, and he didn’t have the energy to speak. He drank the medicine and fell asleep. After sleeping enough, he asked someone to invite Shan Yu.
Yu Hua knew what Er Zhu was thinking, so he took his hand and touched his belly, saying in a cold voice, “The baby is almost five months old, and the fetal movements are becoming more and more frequent. Sometimes he kicks me when I am a little unhappy.”
Er Zhu was slightly startled when he heard this. Sure enough, he felt the belly move under his palm and couldn’t help but ask, “Does it hurt?”
Yu Hua shook his head and lowered his eyebrows, saying, “He was not very strong, as if he was trying to comfort me.”
Er Zhu nodded, not knowing what to say. After an awkward silence for a long time, he pulled his hand back and heard Yu Hua say again, “These days when you were sleeping, the child didn’t feel good, maybe he feels that his father isn’t around.”
Er Zhu was stunned for a moment, remembering that in the past few months he had to touch Yu Hua’s belly countless times every day and hold Yu Hua’s belly every night to sleep. Hearing what Yu Hua said, he put his hand back and touched it gently: “It’s a lot bigger.”
“Um.”
“…”
The two chatted awkwardly for a long time, and Yu Hua said that he had to go out for something. Er Zhu originally wanted to say that Yu Hua shouldn’t run around when his belly was so big, and it didn’t matter if he made less money. He also thought that if he opened his mouth, there would probably be another quarrel, so he refrained from speaking.
Later, Yu Hua didn’t come back until sunset.
Er Zhu’s eyelids were twitching fiercely. After thinking about it, he still couldn’t feel relieved. He put on his clothes and led his servants out to look for him. He happened to encounter Yu Hua being pestered by a fat man with a fleshy face.
Er Zhu was already feeling anxious because of the pain in his wound. Seeing Yu Hua’s belly being touched was even more infuriating. Without saying a word, he led his men to charge forward and beat the fat man severely.
“Damn you, fat man! Who are you taking advantage of?”
Er Zhu had never been so angry in his life. A few hours ago, he didn’t even want to say a word to Yu Hua. A few hours later, the stick in his hand rained down on the fat man rolling on the ground. He wanted to beat him to death.
Er Zhu’s movements were as fierce as a tiger’s. Yu Hua and the servants who saw the fat man’s appearance were stunned. They were stunned for a long time before they stepped forward to pull him.
“Husband! He is my uncle! Stop it!”
“Uncle?” Er Zhu’s eyes were red with anger. “I thought he was a gangster! I didn’t expect him to be a beast! What the hell, he even dares to molest his married nephew! Today I will do justice for God! I will beat him to death!”
