Chapter 273
Wild Dog x Fuan
05
Fu'an was in a bad mood all day and had no interest in making jewelry. He selected seven sets of jewelry he had made before and gave them to Ye Gou, asking him to take them to Yuanbao to see if he could sell them in the store.
Yuanbao's eyes lit up when he saw those sets of jewelry. Although he always dressed like a man now, he used to dress like a boy and had worn women's clothes. He had a very high aesthetic taste for jewelry. He knew that as soon as these sets of jewelry were put out, they would be immediately noticed by people.
"Your husband not only has good taste, but also good craftsmanship. Look at the workmanship. Who would have thought that he only started making jewelry in the past two years? He looks like a master." Yuan Bao couldn't let go of those jewelry sets. When he looked up, he saw that Ye Gou looked worried. He nudged him twice with his elbow, "What's wrong? Are you in trouble at work? I'll ask your brother-in-law to come and give you some advice later."
The wild dog shook his head and said in sign language: It's okay.
"There's nothing wrong with work, but what about life? Emotionally? Did you two have a fight?" Yuanbao felt that with Fu'an's personality, he wouldn't have a fight with Ye Gou. If there was a fight, it was Ye Gou who provoked Fu'an. "You should be nicer to him, he's also a miserable person, don't be so cold and scare him all the time, be nicer to him."
Wild Dog's mind was full of Fu An's tearful look last night, and he was in a very bad mood. He had always treated Fu An as a kitten. Logically, he should be very happy that his kitten liked him, but why was he so bad? It was not entirely because he discovered the other party's feelings for him, but because he saw the other party crying after he explained clearly.
If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't care at all if Fu'an cried as much as he wanted, but when he saw Fu'an crying, his heart was in turmoil.
Yuanbao looked at his expression and knew that he had guessed right, and wanted to comfort him. After all, emotional matters were the most complicated, and no matter how clearly others saw the situation, they would not be able to help the person solve it.
He was about to say something else when the wild dog turned around and walked away silently.
Then Liu Ya came and couldn't let go of the jewelry. She begged him to sell it to her.
Yuanbao didn't bother to chase the wild dog back to ask for clarification, and hurried to collect the jewelry, "This is for opening a store, didn't you just get a set?"
"How can one set be enough? Ever since I put on that set of jewelry, the rest have lost their color. I wish I could change to a new set every day." Liu Ya's eyes were glued to the new jewelry sets. "Just sell them to me. Not all of them, but half of them. I'll take them out to help you promote them."
Yuanbao thought for a moment and said, "One set, but you have to promote our store and attract more customers."
"Okay, okay." Liu Ya was delighted, thinking, is it necessary to attract customers for this jewelry? Won’t people go crazy scrambling for it by then? You can tell a few close friends about the opening time and appearance of the jewelry store in advance, and you can also buy some favors for them.
Fu'an was happy for a while when he learned that his jewelry was selling well, but he soon felt sad again because he couldn't make any jewelry and all the jewelry in the store was sold out. He thought that next time Yuanbao came to ask him to deliver a new model, he didn't know what to deliver.
However, Yuanbao did not rush him. He also told him that there were other jewelry in the store for sale first, and he would put new goods in the store when he finished them. The scarcer the goods, the higher the price. Customers were not afraid of waiting, but they were afraid that the goods would be bad.
During this period, Fuan always hid from the wild dogs and hid in the studio. He would go back very late at night only after the wild dogs fell asleep, or he would sleep in the studio all night.
Wild dogs would come to see him every day, and he would hurry to make jewelry in the store to escape from them.
Sometimes the wild dog would sit beside him and watch him make jewelry. Sometimes, it would wait until he was extremely sleepy, then pick him up and take him back to sleep. The wild dog would still dress him in new clothes and hold him in his arms and touch his hair as it did before.
Fuan thought about Ye Gou’s rejection last time. She clearly didn’t like him, but why did she still want to do such an intimate thing?
Last time, the wild dog told him that the wild dog kissing him and him kissing the wild dog had different meanings. He could not understand the meaning of this sentence. Why were they different?
He became more and more resistant to the wild dog's touch. Once, he even had the courage to shake off the dog's hand, lying that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, and asked the dog not to touch him.
After he finished speaking, he was worried that the wild dog would be angry, and he carefully observed the wild dog's expression. The wild dog did not get angry. He touched his forehead and found the temperature was normal, but seeing that he always looked sick, he covered him with a quilt and asked someone to invite a doctor to come and take Fu'an's pulse.
Fu'an didn't dare to refuse, thinking that maybe the wild dog could see that he was pretending to be sick, and would come to settle the score with him after the doctor said he was not sick.
After the doctor came and examined him, he said that he had a mental illness and was overthinking. He lived in fear and worry all day long, and that being too tense was not good.
The doctor thought the rumors outside were true, that the wild dog always beat Fu'an, and he tried to persuade the wild dog. But when he saw the wild dog's stern face, the doctor became scared. He wrote a prescription and dared not say anything else, and left in a hurry.
While Wild Dog asked someone to get medicine, he sat by the bed, looked at Fu'an, and asked him in sign language: Are you afraid of me?
Fu'an turned his head away and didn't look at him, nor did he dare to make any sound. He was indeed very scared. He had heard rumors about wild dogs before he got married, but he had never thought of leaving. This was his fate, and he had always accepted his fate. Even if he mistakenly thought that he would be beaten to death after getting married, or was beaten every day, he never thought of running away. If he was beaten, he would just endure it silently, just like what he had experienced since he was a child.
Since he followed his father into the princess's mansion as a child, he felt like he was locked in a cage. He could have left the mansion after his father died, but the invisible cage he built for himself locked him up and made him unable to escape.
Just like now, if it were someone else, they might choose to resist or fight back, but no matter how afraid he is of wild dogs, he will regard this home as the safest place. The outside world is even more terrifying to him. If a wild dog beats him, he will just endure the beating alone. If he is asked to leave the safety of his home, he will die immediately.
The wild dog saw that he had his eyes closed but his eyelashes were trembling constantly, and thought that he must be extremely scared to behave like this. He wanted to tell Fu'an not to be afraid of him, but he couldn't speak. When Fu'an closed his eyes, he couldn't convey his true thoughts to the other party.
He could only touch the other person gently, wanting the other person to feel that he would not hurt him.
But the more he did this, the more Fu'an trembled, so he had to withdraw his hand.
These days, Fu'an no longer eats with the wild dogs. When it's time to eat, he goes to find the cook and eats with her.
The cook also noticed that something was wrong with Fu'an. Although Fu'an was worried, his thoughts were written on his face. The cook could tell at a glance what he was worried about.
"Did he have a quarrel with the general?" The cook thought to herself, this is strange. The general can't speak, and Fu'an doesn't like to talk either. How can the two of them get together and actually quarrel?
Fuan shook his head, "We didn't quarrel, but I think he doesn't like me."
The cook was a little worried when she heard this. "Why would he dislike you? Is it because he can't speak that he misunderstood? Didn't you learn sign language? Talk to him and talk it out."
"That's what he said, he doesn't like me." Fu'an pondered over what the wild dog said to him that day for a long time before he realized that the wild dog was rejecting him.
His love for the wild dog is the same love for his husband, while the wild dog loves him as if he were a kitten or a puppy. The two kinds of love are not the same thing.
The cook sighed. After all, the marriage between these two was arranged by the emperor. They had never met each other before the marriage. How could there be any feelings between them?
Although Fu'an is good-looking, he is neither lively nor gentle. He is timid, dumb and can't speak. How could such a person be liked by the general?
"I heard that divorce is possible now. Do you want to divorce him and move out with us?" The cook felt sorry for Fu'an and asked him what he thought.
When Fuan heard about moving out, he turned pale with fear, "No, I can't move out, I want to stay here."
"But since he doesn't like you, he will mention it later if you don't mention it. It's better for you to bring it up first than to be driven out by him, so you don't have to be so passive." The cook advised him, "He has a high status and you don't like to go out. I've heard a lot of rumors outside. Many high-ranking officials want to marry their daughters to him. Although you can't take concubines now, you can keep them outside secretly. Many people want to send their daughters and boys to him as mistresses. He doesn't like you, so he probably likes someone else. It's better to make plans as soon as possible. If you have made plans, I will go out to look for houses. I have saved some money. Even if I can't buy a big house, I can buy a small house in the suburbs."
Fu An quickly shook his head. It was not that he did not want to suffer, but there was no way for him to leave. He was imprisoned by himself. "I want to stay. Is there any way for me to stay?"
The cook frowned and sighed, thinking that with Fu'an's personality, it would be impossible for him to please men, nor would he seduce anyone, so how could he make a wild dog like him?
"If it really doesn't work, you can give birth to a child. The general might not marry someone else for the sake of the child." Although the cook accepted some new ideas, she still had old ideas in her heart. She thought that with a child, the family would be stable. "And with a child, you would have someone to rely on."
"Children..." Fuan had never thought about having children, "How, how to have children?"
He almost bit his tongue when he said this. Although he had no experience with it, he had received training and seen those picture albums before getting married.
Not only had he seen picture albums, but when he was a child, he lived in the princess's mansion and inadvertently saw the princess favoring a male lover. After seeing it only once, he never dared to run around in the princess's mansion again. However, that scene was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit whenever he thought of it.
Is he going to do that kind of thing with wild dogs?
He stood up unsteadily and walked back, thinking about the kiss that day. It was so sweet when the wild dog kissed him first.
He felt disgusted when he saw the princess kissing her male lover, but he didn't feel disgusted when the wild dog kissed him. So, would he not feel disgusted when doing that?
Thinking this, he returned to his room nervously, wondering whether the wild dog would agree.
That day he took the initiative to kiss the wild dog, but was rejected by the dog, let alone anything else.
As he thought about it, he started to cry in anxiety. Nothing worked, and nothing worked. He felt like he had no way out.
Ye Gou was worried about Fu An's illness outside. He didn't know whether he had taken his medicine on time. He was so worried that he couldn't concentrate on his work and left work early to go home.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Fu'an sitting on the bed crying. Fu'an was very beautiful on weekdays, and she looked even more pitiful when she cried.
The wild dog walked up to him with concern and asked him: What feels wrong?
Fuan didn't expect him to come early, and his eyes widened with fear. "No, I'm not feeling unwell."
The wild dog frowned: Is it because someone at home bullied you?
Fuan quickly shook his head again, "No one bullies me, don't make things difficult for others."
The wild dog asked him: In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would make things difficult for others for no reason?
Fu An was stunned. After a while, he shook his head again, "I know you are a good person. You have never hit me, and you have never made things difficult for the servants in Xi's family. It is just that I am timid and always like to scare myself for no reason..."
If he hadn't seen clearly that wild dogs wouldn't hit people, he wouldn't have liked wild dogs. At first he just had a vague urge to kiss them, but later he thought it over and realized that this feeling was due to how good the wild dogs were to him. No one had ever given him a stable life, the best food and clothing, or helped him find gems to make jewelry like the wild dogs did.
He originally thought that all these could prove that the wild dog liked him, but in the end he was rejected. This made him very conflicted. On the one hand, he couldn't help wanting to continue to like the wild dog, but on the other hand, he didn't dare to move forward and was afraid of being abandoned by the wild dog.
Wild Dog raised his hand to wipe the tears off his face, "Since you know I won't hit anyone, don't be afraid of me in the future, and don't scare yourself, okay?"
Fuan nodded, then lowered his head and mustered up the courage to ask him: "There is something I want you to help me with, can you help me?"
The wild dog raised his head and asked him in sign language: What do you want?
Fu An looked at him with red eyes, "This is my only request. If you agree to it, I will never ask for anything else again, okay?"
Seeing that he was still a little afraid of him, Ye Gou wanted to improve their relationship. After all, Fu An had ignored him much during this period, which made him feel uncomfortable. He wanted to return to their previous close relationship.
Wild Dog: Whatever you want, I will get it back for you.
When Fuan heard him say this, he gained some confidence and said, "I want a baby. Can you give birth to one with me?"
Wild Dog didn't expect him to make this request and shook his head: Change your request.
"Why not? Am I still your husband? Why can't I even have a baby?" Fu'an didn't have the courage to say it in the first place. After he finally mustered up the courage, he was poured a bucket of cold water on. This made him feel that everything he had done was particularly shameful.
Fuan staggered out of the room, hid in his studio and never came out again.
The wild dog didn't like him and would marry someone else and drive him away. He had to leave this home where he felt safe and comfortable. This pressure was like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Especially the next morning when he overheard two servants chatting while cleaning, the pressure was even greater.
The two servants said that he was sickly all day long and cried at the slightest provocation. He had been married for several years but still had no children. The general must hate him very much and might divorce him soon and marry another man.
He was already under a lot of pressure, and hearing these words made him feel as if the sky was falling. He felt dizzy and could hardly stand.
He slowly walked back, holding onto the wall, but he felt like he couldn't survive even a second.
He thought of his father. In this world, his father was probably the only person who loved him the most. If his father had taken him with him at that time, he would not have encountered the things that happened later.
When Ye Gou was working outside, all he could think about was Fu'an's eyes from yesterday. His eyes were swollen from crying, and it must have been very painful. He didn't know if he had hidden away and cried secretly by himself last night.
Yesterday, Fuan mentioned having a baby so suddenly that he was not mentally prepared at all...
He was just thinking about it when he heard his men say that someone was coming from the general's mansion, and he became quite anxious.
He went over immediately and saw the servant of the general's mansion.
The servant was very anxious, but still afraid that others would hear him, so he leaned close to the wild dog's ear and said, "The general's wife, she hanged herself."
When the wild dog heard this, his head buzzed and he almost fell down. He picked up the boy, opened his mouth, and let out an unpleasant roar from his throat. At this moment, he forgot that he couldn't speak.
The servant was so scared that cold sweats broke out. "Madam, she is fine. As soon as she was hung with a white silk, the maid at the door heard the noise and went in to rescue her. She is fine now. Nothing happened to her. She is just in a bad mood."
When the wild dog heard that the man was not dead, he hurried back home.
When he got home, Fu'an was sitting on the bed. The cook beside him advised him to take medicine. Fu'an looked ahead with lifeless eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
When the cooks and maids in the room saw him coming back, they all retreated outside the door.
Wild Dog walked over and sat down beside the bed. He hadn't been afraid for a long time, but at this moment, even when he looked at Fu An who was still alive, he was still very scared.
He thought of the grave at the border, where a girl who was very important to him was buried. He didn't want to bury someone who was very important to him with his own hands again.
Fuan noticed him coming back, glanced at him, turned his head away, and tears started to flow again. He thought he couldn't cry anymore after crying so much. "No one has ever treated me as a human being. You are the same. You just keep me at home like a kitten or a puppy. Why doesn't anyone treat me as a living person?"
