While Jiang Shan was taking a bath, Fu Qiyuan was holding Jiang Huai, who had just been washed clean, and eating a midnight snack at three in the morning.
He fed Jiang Huai sporadically, but his eyes were fixed on the movements behind the screen.
"Shan'er, is the water too cold? Do you want some hot water?"
"……Need not."
After a while.
"San'er, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
"……good."
A cup of honey water was handed over from behind the screen.
Jiang Shan drank half of it and then handed it over.
A while later.
"Shan'er, are you hungry? I'll make you some seafood rice, would you like some?"
There was silence for a long time without any response.
Fu Qiyuan was anxiously about to go over and check on Jiang Shan when Jiang Shan lazily stood up from the bathtub.
A moment later, Jiang Shan's soft, coquettish voice, tinged with a hint of languor, came through: "Can't you just let me take a bath in peace? What are you doing feeding me seafood rice in the middle of the night? Jiang Huai is asleep and you're still feeding him?"
Fu Qiyuan glanced down at his sleeping son, quickly wiped his mouth, and tucked him back into bed.
"I...I'll help you dry your hair."
Jiang Shan took the cloth from Fu Qiyuan and sat down next to him.
As she turned her head to wipe the water from her hair, she asked, "What are you worried about?"
Fu Qiyuan pursed his lips and remained silent.
Jiang Shan sighed softly, got up and walked to Fu Qiyuan, sat on his lap, and hugged his neck.
In the dim candlelight, two figures were entangled in an ambiguous way, each within the other.
Jiang Shan lowered his head and gently kissed Fu Qiyuan's forehead, whispering, "Don't worry, I'll always be here!"
Fu Qiyuan hugged Jiang Shan's slender waist tightly, inhaling her sweet fragrance, and said in a hoarse voice, "I know! Even if you're gone, I will still come to find you!"
Jiang Shan rested her head on Fu Qiyuan's shoulder, her gaze passing through the flickering candlelight. "Let me tell you a story!"
Fu Qiyuan froze, then hugged Jiangshan even tighter.
"Once upon a time, there was a country called China. It was a completely free, equal, and democratic country. People there traveled by four-wheeled cars, which could travel thousands of miles a day. They could also fly in the sky by airplane, traveling tens of thousands of miles a day. There was wireless network signal there. You could make calls and video chats even if you were thousands or tens of thousands of miles away with just a mobile phone. Well, I'm going to tell you a story about a girl..."
Jiang Shan recounted her past in a story.
"The waves at the beach were too big, and a big wave knocked her into the sea. Her fate should have ended there, but when she opened her eyes, she was already in another unfamiliar world..."
"This world was not kind to her at first, but she gradually gained family, friendship and love amidst the hardships, and she hasn't thought about her original world for a long time!"
Jiang Shan's gaze was ethereal, and his words carried a hint of melancholy. Fu Qiyuan saw this and felt his heart ache as if it were bleeding.
"Shan'er, it's my fault for not protecting you and taking good care of you. I'm sorry that you and the child have suffered so much!" Fu Qiyuan gently kissed Jiang Shan's cheek, his eyes concealing his unreleased panic and worry.
Jiang Shan chuckled softly, "I guess I've been abandoned by my original world and can't find my way back. My fate in this life is now inextricably linked with yours! So, Fu Qiyuan, I'm willing to give each other a chance, a chance to build happiness together."
Fu Qiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, but he suppressed a faint tension and anticipation in his heart.
"I told her that I would protect the people she cares about and treat everything she likes well. Whether you are Erlang or Fu Qiyuan, I like you! I don't want to say 'I love you' easily because I don't know if this is love, but I know that I will never like another man like I like you!"
Fu Qiyuan was overjoyed!
But he dared not get too carried away. He stared intently at Jiang Shan's slightly flushed face and tentatively asked, "Then, Shan'er, you won't go back to the original world, will you? You won't leave again, will you?"
Jiang Shan did not see the joy that Fu Qiyuan should have, and thought to herself, "So he is still worried that she will leave this world."
With a sigh, Jiang Shan said softly, "Who knows? What if one day you treat me badly, take a concubine, fall in love with someone else, or even despise me for being an old hag? Do you expect me to leave while you're telling me to kick me out? Don't I have any dignity?"
"No, no! That day will never come!" Fu Qiyuan hurriedly declared. "I only want you in this life, and I will never take a concubine! We can also only have Huai'er as our child. I can't bear to let you suffer anymore!"
Jiang Shan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Fu Qiyuan's bloodshot yet still bright eyes. He gently twisted his waist, extended a finger and lightly ran it across Fu Qiyuan's neck, feeling his Adam's apple swallow and roll. In an instant, lust arose from his heart.
"Erlang...!" Jiang Shan murmured, clearly feeling Fu Qiyuan's whole body stiffen.
"Didn't you say you liked me? Look at you, you're like a block of wood...!" With three parts coquettishness and seven parts reproach, Jiang Shan was so surprised by her own words that she got goosebumps.
Fu Qiyuan swallowed hard, then pushed the person in his arms away with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice, "Shan'er, don't make a fuss. If you can't sleep, we can talk... um, that airplane..."
Airplane...what a disappointment!
Jiang Shan suddenly remembered a joke. When she first started doing food live streams, a scoundrel kept harassing her and eventually even made a suggestive joke pop up on the public screen.
Then, she told the joke to Fu Qiyuan.
Fu Qiyuan tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked in confusion, "What is sperm, and what is an egg?"
Jiang Shan suppressed the urge to burst out laughing and instead gave him a lecture on modern science.
Fu Qiyuan suddenly realized, paused for a moment, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What is masturbation?"
With a gentle smile, Jiang Shan reached out and mischievously fiddled with the object a few times, saying, "This is called masturbating."
Fu Qiyuan rolled over, and the two switched positions on the bed.
"Shan'er, you're stirring up trouble!" Fu Qiyuan's voice was hoarse beyond belief, and his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, shining brightly.
Jiang Shan felt a little uneasy, but he said defiantly, "What are you afraid of? I'll help you wipe them out...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Qiyuan cut him off completely.
After a struggle, just one step away from victory, Fu Qiyuan suddenly stopped.
In the dim candlelight, Jiang Shan could see his suppressed desires.
"No, Shan'er, I haven't given you a formal title yet. It has to wait until we get married... I was being presumptuous...!"
Before Jiang Shan could react, Fu Qiyuan had already pulled up the blanket and wrapped Jiang Shan's half-exposed upper body tightly, while he himself got out of bed and went straight to the bathtub behind the screen.
All that could be heard was a "splash" of water.
Ten thousand alpacas galloped through Jiangshan's heart.
Is it her or him who's incompetent?
