Ch91 – Like Always, He Was His Light

The hospital waiting room was quiet.
The rows of cold, metal chairs were all empty and there was no one else inside. 

Yan Qiu just tightened his grip over the thin paper containing the results and said nothing. 

 

 

His expression seemed to have been stuck at the moment he had heard the news. 

He widened his eyes to repeatedly look at the rows of words and numbers printed on the paper that he could not understand. 

He knew every single word on the paper.
But what had him dumbfounded was what they meant, strung together.

 

Even though he did not know any medical lingo, he could read numbers.
The numbers in his results were several times higher than the standard. 

‘Pregnant.

‘What the heck? I’m really pregnant?’

 

This sudden “present” made Yan Qiu feel like the thin paper in his hands weighed tons.
His thin wrists trembled slightly, as if he could no longer hold the paper. 

A second ago he was worried about being severely ill and not being able to live long.
Now, he did not know whether he should laugh or cry. 

Standing in front of him, Ji Xinglan saw how Yan Qiu reacted to the news.
Thinking he was worried, he massaged his shoulder with one hand to comfort him. 

 

The prolonged silence made Yan Qiu think that he should say something, but as of right now, he simply did not know what to say.  

Until last night, he was still eating and drinking happily.
He even jumped around while playing basketball.
At home, he fooled around with Ji Xinglan.

Yan Qiu just could not imagine himself pregnant. 

This had really caught him by surprise. 

Once more, he suddenly found himself about to be a parent.
Yan Qiu’s expressions were complicated. ‘This time, I might really end up a parent.’ 

At that moment, a nurse pushed open the door of the waiting room and came in, breaking the long silence.
Ji Xinglan finally moved from the spot where he stood in front of Yan Qiu. 

From where he stood now, he could not see Yan Qiu’s face.
All he could see was Yan Qiu’s long fingers gripping the test report tightly and his lowered head. 

The window behind him framed the red sun about to sink behind the golden horizon.
The light was incredibly bright.
Its golden hue dyed the entire land in molten gold.
It illuminated Yan Qiu’s thin shoulders and side profile and made his hair blaze golden as well. 

Yan Qiu’s body was now that of an omega and hence smaller than an alpha’s.
Feeling his heart clench in pain, Ji Xinglan reached over and pushed away the hair by his ears as an attempt to study his expression.

“It’s fine.
If you don’t like children, we can abort it.”

The doctor on-duty was not old.
He cast Ji Xinglan a pitying glance and told him earnestly, “Usually, there’s no problem in saying that an omega can only get pregnant when they’re in their estrus period.
But actually, it’s not an entirely accurate statement.
There is a certain chance that an omega can get pregnant when they’re not in their estrus period.
It’s just that the probability is very very small.
In effect, the chances are less than one in a thousand and you can even say that it’s almost the same as 0%.”

“It might be because your compatibility is too high that he managed to get pregnant.”

Ji Xinglan had stood outside the waiting room for a while, unable to resist smoking; something that had not happened to him for a long time.
He had already decided.
He would listen to whatever Yan Qiu says, because Yan Qiu would be the one making the decision.  

Meanwhile, Yan Qiu pursed his lips while holding the test report. 

He felt a little embarrassed. 

Ji Xinglan and he… would have a child now? This happened too suddenly. 

Yan Qiu liked children.
“No” was never in Yan Qiu’s consideration.

In fact, he never contemplated abortion even when he thought that the original Xiao Qiu had a child with Ji Xinglan, so he would consider abortion even less for his and Ji Xinglan’s child. 

In the past, whenever Yan Qiu swept the fields, he would daydream and make plans.
Unbothered by the fact that Ji Xinglan was an alpha as well, he would fantasize that if he and Young Master Ji got married, they would adopt a bunch of children and Ji Xinglan would stay home to take care of them while he went out to earn money and take care of the family. 

Then, when he got home, he would see Ji Xinglan running over in an apron, and the thought alone made him feel happy. 

But fate had other plans for Yan Qiu.
Even though he saw Ji Xinglan wear an apron every day, the current situation seemed to be heading uncontrollably in another direction.  

‘Why? It’s so unfair!

‘Why isn’t Ji Xinglan the one giving birth?!’

When Yan Qiu angrily lifted his head, he saw Ji Xinglan tightly pursing his lips, his eyes full of worry. 

The grave look in his eyes refused to disappear, and as a rarity for him, he also seemed nervous.  

Yan Qiu pouted.
When Ji Xinglan needed to convince Yan Qiu to do whatever he wanted, he would stubbornly use all sorts of reasoning, but now that he suddenly became a father, he became anxious. 

So Yan Qiu reached out and patted his face.
It felt pretty good, so he also pinched it. 

 

“Accidentally got me pregnant? When have you ever been careful before?” Yan Qiu could not resist lecturing him.
“I thought something major happened and all this while, you were worried about this?”

He sounded like he was disappointed.  

Ji Xinglan held Yan Qiu’s hand and placed the warm palm on his own cheek.
When he heard how calm Yan Qiu sounded, his heart finally relaxed a little as well. 

When Yan Qiu saw this, he thought that Ji Xinglan did not want the child.
“Ji Xinglan, do you not like children?”

Ji Xinglan squeezed his hand.
“Why do you ask?”

“You don’t seem happy.” Yan Qiu averted his gaze.  

Ji Xinglan cleared his throat and looked down.
“There’s nothing like that.
I’m ecstatic.”

Yan Qiu looked up in slight surprise.

‘Happy?’

When he heard that Ji Xinglan did not dislike children, he was already thanking his lucky stars.
Why was he happy? 

“But your mom told me that you hate children,” Yan Qiu added, “You hate them so much that you want to hit them when you see them.”

Ji Xinglan answered sincerely, “But I’ll like our child.”

Yan Qiu was stunned by his answer.
He looked at his serious face and could not help but giggle.
“At least you have a sweet mouth.
I’ll also like our child.”

The happiness in Yan Qiu’s eyes caused Ji Xinglan to be a little surprised.
Before this, he thought that Yan Qiu hated children.  

“Do you really like it?”

Ji Xinglan was worried that Yan Qiu said this only for his sake, but his expressions did not seem fake. 

“Yes, I like children.”

He grew up in an orphanage.
Yan Qiu never knew his biological parents, but after he grew up, he liked children a lot.
He also liked all sorts of furry little animals.  

But this acknowledgement caused Ji Xinglan to be puzzled.
“But today when I asked you whether you liked children, you told me that you didn’t.”

“When have I ever said that I don’t like them?” Yan Qiu had forgotten that Ji Xinglan had asked him this question, but then he suddenly remembered.
“Oh, are you talking about Xiao Ming from the physics paper?”

 

‘Dammit! So this is what Ji Xinglan has been trying to ask me.’

Yan Qiu let out a frustrated bark of laughter. ‘Who would like that sort of drawing?’ 

“Honestly, one of the reasons behind why I was angry last time was because you lied to me,” Yan Qiu said with puffed out cheeks.
“I had already accepted the fact that I’m pregnant, but after so long, I discovered that I wasn’t. 

“Our child is going to be fair and soft and have mixed blood.
He’ll be cute!”

He added hopefully, “It’ll be best if he’s an alpha, and when he grows up, he should be as handsome as you.”

Ji Xinglan smiled a little.  

After the entire ruckus, it turned out that they were thinking about the same thing, it is just that they misunderstood each other. 

Since they were on the same page, things would be easier.

While there was no one around, Ji Xinglan chuckled and leaned down to kiss him.
“Alpha babies are too competitive.
Don’t you think that omega babies are more obedient and cuter?”

Yan Qiu nodded when he found what he said to be reasonable.
“Well, it doesn’t matter whether he’s an alpha, an omega, or a beta, but I think the chances of him being a beta is low.” 

He was really curious as to what sort of secondary gender their baby was going to be. 

In any case, he was definitely going to be a cute child.
He felt a little excited every time he thought about it. 

And when he imagined Ji Xinglan in the future taking care of their child as well as changing his diapers, he wanted to laugh. 

“My main worry is that you still have to take your exam.” Ji Xinglan gave his wrist a light squeeze and pulled Yan Qiu up from his chair.  

“That’s not a problem.” Yan Qiu stood up using the momentum and shrugged, unbothered.
“I won’t be affected regardless of whether it’s the written test or interview.
In any case, no matter what happens, I will definitely get in.”

“Okay.” Ji Xinglan kissed his crown with a gentle look.
“We’ll do whatever you want.”

He and Yan Qiu had a similar, bad childhood, but their personalities were completely different, and yet complemented each other. 

Ji Xinglan was like a flower kept in the most valuable purple clay pot and grown in a greenhouse.
He was aloof and had a solitary personality.  

Whereas Yan Qiu was completely different from him.
He was like a weed that grew in the most barren and uncultivated land.
He grew up crooked, but had the most beautiful flower bloom from him. 

They might seem like they were completely different, but they were clearly meant for each other. 

 

In the room lit by the setting sun, Ji Xinglan held Yan Qiu’s hand and walked out of the waiting room. 

While they moved among the crowd, Ji Xinglan cast a deep glance at Yan Qiu, then tightened his hold over their interlaced fingers.  

Like always, he was his light.
