Chapter 74

"..." Meng Yuxiu was a little confused. He stared blankly at Han Shuo.

Han Shuo felt a lump in his throat.

He and Meng Yuxiu had been too busy lately to do it. Taking advantage of his good mood today, and his heightened enthusiasm due to pregnancy, he planned to have a good time tonight and then continue his career tomorrow.

I just never expected that making love would be so frustrating.

He had tolerated Meng Yuxiu's dawdling earlier, but this sudden turn of events was like a bucket of cold water being poured over a blazing fire, making it utterly unbearable.

Han Shuo had never experienced anything so disheartening in his entire life. His feelings at that moment were easily imaginable.

He stared intently at Meng Yuxiu, who was clearly in a daze.

"Are you kidding me?" Han Shuo practically forced these words out through clenched teeth.

"..."

"Young man, do you have premature ejaculation?" Han Shuo asked through gritted teeth.

Meng Yuxiu didn't want it, or rather, he hadn't expected it. But it had already happened. Now, after getting married, the eighteen-year-old boy finally experienced firsthand what it meant to feel ashamed and unable to face his wife.

He's a simple person, unlike other men who would explain things like they're a little tired or haven't done it in a while, or that the first time was a bit fast and the second time would be better.

However, he would never do it a second time, because every time he did it, all he could think about was his father's slaps.

So, faced with Han Shuo's grimacing question, he could only mutter under his breath, "I... I've been doing it for over twenty minutes now..."

Han Shuo had heard that pregnant women are prone to getting angry, but he hadn't felt anything until this month of his pregnancy. Today, he finally understood what it meant to be so angry that your lips trembled.

Especially when he heard Meng Yuxiu, oblivious to his own mortality, trying to save face for him.

"More than twenty minutes..." If he weren't lying in bed, he would have really wanted to grab the shoe on the floor and beat Meng Yuxiu. His chest heaved heavily.

He was so angry that he didn't know how to vent his anger. After thinking for a while, he could only manage to stammer out, "Don't you even know what morality is?! Morality is about everyone being happy, whether you're happy or not!"

"Damn!" Han Shuo was exasperated. Why did he have to be all polite and talk nonsense at a time like this?

He was about to fight Meng Yuxiu. He grabbed Meng Yuxiu's arms with both hands, unsure whether to pinch or punch him to vent his anger.

"Han Shuo, Han Shuo..." Meng Yuxiu pulled his arms away from Han Shuo's two claws, "Don't do this, I didn't mean to... don't be angry..."

"I fucking..." Han Shuo's eyes turned red as he cursed, "Don't you know I haven't done it in ages?! Don't you know I really wanted to do it today?! Are you doing this on purpose?"

Han Shuo had a loud voice, and the two of them were on the bed, one pinching and the other dodging, causing the already shaky wooden bed in the rented room to creak violently.

Afraid that the neighbors would hear this embarrassing incident, Meng Yuxiu could only keep coaxing, "Han Shuo, don't be so loud, someone will hear you..."

"Damn it!" Han Shuo cursed, so angry that he kicked Meng Yuxiu's butt with his foot under the covers.

It would have been fine if the leg hadn't been lifted, but once it was lifted...

The two people who were making a ruckus in bed stopped talking and moving at the same time.

Okay, Han Shuo could have continued to feel a sense of fulfillment.

At this point, Meng Yuxiu uncontrollably withdrew.

“Han Shuo…” Meng Yuxiu looked at Han Shuo’s distorted face with fear. He dared not make a sound. In order to make amends to Han Shuo, he lowered his eyes and looked at himself.

After thinking for two seconds, he resolutely placed his listless little brother in front of Han Shuo.

Han Shuo stared at his movements with eyes as dead as a fish's.

Meng Yuxiu didn't dare to look up. In fact, he never thought he had erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. He always thought he had excellent physical strength. Today was really an accident.

Previously, after he and Han Shuo finished, he only needed to rest for two minutes in between, but today was really difficult. Mainly due to the psychological pressure, coupled with the sense of oppression Han Shuo was exerting at this moment.

Faced with Han Shuo's piercing gaze, Meng Yuxiu lowered his head and quietly swallowed.

"Oh."

Upon suddenly hearing Han Shuo's mocking voice, Meng Yuxiu froze.

Is this interesting?

"..." Meng Yuxiu pursed his lips, his eyes flickering as he looked up. "Wh-what's wrong?"

Han Shuo snorted coldly and said in a chilling tone, "What are you talking about? You're just a piece of junk, half-dead."

"..." Meng Yuxiu awkwardly discussed with him, "Why don't you wait for me for a moment, and I'll start fighting it? Or, can I help you?"

"No!" Han Shuo glared fiercely, grabbed the blanket, turned to the side, and then, as if venting his emotions, kicked Meng Yuxiu hard.

Worried that he would get angry and harm his health, Meng Yuxiu carefully approached him and softly called out, "Han Shuo."

Han Shuo didn't even turn his head, "Get lost!"

"..." Meng Yuxiu propped himself up on the bed and leaned over to look at Han Shuo's face.

Han Shuo's brows furrowed deeply, and although his eyes were tightly closed, he was still breathing heavily through his nose.

Meng Yuxiu thought for a moment and explained to him, "I really didn't mean to... My dad wrote to me today. He said that now that you're more pregnant, the baby can move around. If I can still do this, then I'm really not human..."

“Han Shuo…” Meng Yuxiu gently shook Han Shuo’s shoulder.

"Tsk!" Han Shuo kept his eyes closed, his brows furrowed. He impatiently pushed his shoulder away from Meng Yuxiu's palm.

"..." Meng Yuxiu muttered softly, "I'm afraid it will hurt you and the child..."

Han Shuo closed his eyes and said coldly, "Then don't do it anymore."

"..."

After that night, Han Shuo didn't want to talk to Meng Yuxiu for several days.

However, he still had to go to the tutoring center every day because he needed to rent a place to expand the tutoring center classrooms and receive students and parents who came to consult every day.

That's the troublesome thing about running a family business. No matter how cold he is to Meng Yuxiu in bed, when they get to the tutoring class, they still have to communicate.

Meng Yuxiu found two classmates from Jinhua University. One was a boy who seemed a bit talkative and dull, named Dong Xin, and the other was a cute girl with a round face named Yuanyuan.

Aside from tutoring, Meng Yuxiu didn't talk much to others.

So when he brought Dong Xin and Yuan Yuan over, Han Shuo was the one who received them.

"Don't be too reserved, just call me Han Shuo from now on." Han Shuo pointed to the rows of tables and chairs in the living room. "Xiao Dong, you can tutor in the living room. Yuan Yuan, you go to that small room. Do a good job, and if business is good, you'll get a year-end bonus."

"Okay!" Dong Xin and Yuan Yuan nodded repeatedly.

From the moment they entered, Han Shuo's mouth hadn't stopped. Dong Xin and her classmates knew that Meng Yuxiu had a wife, but they didn't know exactly what kind of person she was.

After meeting Han Shuo today, the two of them were first surprised by his big belly, but then they were impressed by his eloquence, cheerfulness and generosity.

After only a few days in the tutoring class, Dong Xin and Yuan Yuan were already calling each other "Brother Shuo" familiarly.

However, Han Shuo was chatting and laughing with them or other people, even the students in the tutoring class, but when Meng Yuxiu called out to Han Shuo from the side.

Han Shuo's cold gaze silenced Meng Yuxiu.

Even after the tutoring center closed that night, as Meng Yuxiu walked out of the apartment building to get on his bike, he was annoyed to find that Han Shuo no longer had his arm around his waist.

I got back late, and the streets were quiet, but the back of the bicycle was even quieter.

Meng Yuxiu couldn't hold back any longer, "Han Shuo, just grab me..."

Han Shuo remained silent.

Meng Yuxiu thought for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid you'll fall."

Han Shuo finally made a move, but his first words were like a blast of gunpowder: "Grab my ass, it'd be better if you fell!"

"..." Meng Yuxiu's scalp tingled; he didn't know how to coax Han Shuo. It wasn't that he hadn't tried; he would quietly apologize to Han Shuo whenever he had a spare moment.

"I'm sorry about what happened that day. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

But when Han Shuo heard him mention this, he just scoffed coldly: "Heh."

In fact, Meng Yuxiu had been carefully apologizing for several days in a row, and according to Han Shuo's usual temperament, the matter should have passed by now.

But whether it was because his needs were greater during pregnancy or because he hadn't been satisfied that day, he just couldn't calm down. These past few nights, he'd been having a really hard time going to bed.

But after that day, he was still angry and couldn't bring himself to admit it, so he could only toss and turn in bed.

In fact, at times like these, if Meng Yuxiu were willing to take the initiative to have some fun with him, the young couple could make up before they even get out of bed.

However, he overestimated Meng Yuxiu's emotional intelligence. In fact, Han Shuo never thought that Meng Yuxiu, that bastard, had ever had high emotional intelligence.

So after tossing and turning, he could only feel a little better by kicking Meng Yuxiu's leg hard in bed.

Meng Yuxiu groaned as he was kicked awake.

He waited until Han Shuo closed his eyes and fell asleep before turning off the lights before he dared to sleep himself. So when he was kicked, he just assumed Han Shuo was dreaming.

However, even in the pitch-black environment, he still slightly propped up his arm and leaned closer to observe Han Shuo's face for a moment.

Only after hearing Han Shuo's even breathing did he tuck Han Shuo in before lying down to sleep again.

The new classroom was rented today. It's an apartment on the fifth floor of the same building, while the apartment where classes are already being held is on the second floor. The two apartments are only three floors apart, which makes things convenient. Han Shuo and Meng Yuxiu are both quite satisfied.

After paying the rent, Han Shuo took Gao Ze and his roommates upstairs to clean the house and also carried the tables and chairs that had been brought downstairs back upstairs.

When Meng Yuxiu saw Han Shuo about to leave the house, he paused his lecture and hurriedly chased after him up the stairs.

"Han Shuo," he said anxiously, grabbing Han Shuo's arm, "Don't move the tables and chairs, let Gao Ze and the others do it."

"I understand," Han Shuo replied indifferently, and then went up the stairs.

Meng Yuxiu, looking disheveled, continued back to the classroom.

In fact, Meng Yuxiu also knew that the best way to resolve the current cold war between him and Han Shuo was to let Han Shuo have a good meal.

But he really didn't dare.

Back in the 21st century, he would occasionally watch videos to pass the time when he was bored. He happened to come across a historical drama about an emperor who favored a pregnant concubine, but the concubine lost her child.

Then the screen was filled with comments like "white radish in, red radish out".

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

This cold war couldn't go on forever. He couldn't stand being ignored by Han Shuo, but he didn't know who to ask for advice.

Actually, when it comes to seeking advice, the first person that pops into his mind is his father.

But unless he's lost his mind.

After much deliberation, he went to the Xinhua Bookstore in the city the next day when he had no classes.

When he and Han Shuo registered their marriage, they received a book about marital sex, but they didn't bring it to Hecheng. After all, he and Han Shuo both thought they were already experienced, so why would they need that thing?

Meng Yuxiu is now filled with regret.

He spent most of the day browsing before finally finding it on the bookshelf. After paying for it, he put it in his pocket and went back to school.

"What are you looking at?" Dong Xin noticed that Meng Yuxiu had been reading at his seat all afternoon. He glanced at the cover and saw that it was a professional book.

However, when he asked this question, Meng Yuxiu quickly closed the book.

Meng Yuxiu said calmly, "I didn't see anything."

Dong Xin propped herself up on her elbow and asked him, "Don't you and Brother Shuo get along very well?"

Meng Yuxiu frowned slightly. "Why do you ask that?"

Dong Xin didn't notice his displeased tone. He said blankly, "Brother Shuo is quite enthusiastic towards us, but Yuan Yuan and I have been to the tutoring center for so many days, and we feel that he is quite indifferent to you."

Meng Yuxiu: "It's not that I'm being cold, it's just that we've had a little disagreement lately."

He paused, then added, "It'll be fine after tonight."

After reading books on relationships, Meng Yuxiu had completely forgotten about his father's slaps. Now he felt more at ease and bolder.

Because it was a technically sophisticated book printed by a national publishing house, complete with illustrations and explanations. He only regretted not reading it properly at home before his wedding, otherwise he wouldn't have been threatened by his father for months.

At that moment, the thought of confronting his father even crossed his mind.

He desperately wanted to tell his father: "Dad, you're misleading me. Dad, you're delaying my progress."

However, it only flashed through his mind for a moment, because he knew that once he said it, it probably wouldn't be as simple as getting a slap.

When Meng Yuxiu went to pick up Han Shuo after school today, he was in a very relaxed and happy mood. Even though Han Shuo was still indifferent to him the whole way, he didn't mind, because he would give Han Shuo the surprise he wanted that evening.

After returning to his rented room from the tutoring class that evening, Han Shuo washed up and went to bed. On his way back by bike tonight, it had been snowing all the way, so it would most likely snow tomorrow.

After Han Shuo finished washing up and climbed into bed, shivering, Meng Yuxiu quickly filled a hot water bottle and stuffed it into his blankets.

Before the cold war, as soon as Meng Yuxiu got into bed, Han Shuo would wrap his arms and legs around him.

After the cold war, before the bed was warm, Han Shuo would rather have his legs trembling than touch Meng Yuxiu even slightly.

Although Meng Yuxiu would still shamelessly hug him, he would grumble and curse for a while before quieting down.

Now Meng Yuxiu is using his two long legs to clamp Han Shuo's feet.

Han Shuo struggled unhappily, "What's going on?"

Meng Yuxiu hugged him tightly and rubbed his high nose against Han Shuo's neck.

It's the same routine every night, but then you don't do anything else. Han Shuo was speechless. He said sarcastically, "Besides clamping my legs, what else can you do?"

If it had been yesterday, Meng Yuxiu would have been so upset by those words that he would have remained silent.

But today was different. Han Shuo noticed the boy's hand rustling inside the blanket.

"?" He was taken aback. With his keen sexual experience, he immediately noticed that Meng Yuxiu was pulling at his own underwear.

"...What are you doing?" Han Shuo asked knowingly.

Meng Yuxiu buried his nose in Han Shuo's neck and gave him a gentle kiss.

Han Shuo heard his deep, muffled voice: "Han Shuo, shall we do it today?"

Han Shuo raised an eyebrow in surprise, thinking: Huh? Did this kid eat bear bile today?

Although he was very satisfied with Meng Yuxiu's enlightenment, after so many days of cold war, he still couldn't bring himself to do it for the time being.

So he struggled a bit.

"No."

"Do it..."

"I don't want to do it, I'm not in the mood today."

"Let's do it." Meng Yuxiu said, touching Han Shuo's protruding belly and turning him slightly to the side.

Han Shuo feigned impatience, "I already said I'm not in the mood today, what's wrong with you? If you don't want to... go away, go away, hey, what's wrong with you... ah~"

His voice softened a beat because Meng Yuxiu had already raised one of his legs.

Meng Yuxiu held Han Shuo close, burying his face in Han Shuo's shoulder and whispering hoarsely, "I want to do it..."

Han Shuo couldn't stand the sound; his bones went weak at the mere mention of it. He tilted his head back on the pillow and glanced at Meng Yuxiu out of the corner of his eye.

He weakly warned, "If you ejaculate too quickly again, I'll kill you!"
