Chapter 33 Today's theme is matching couple underwear!
Lu Shangyan closed his eyes and lay on the bed. He regretted it now and just wanted to pretend that he didn't know Pei Yumin, but it was too late.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Pei Yumin walked briskly into the room, closed the door behind him, and was already extremely excited. He rushed to the bedside in a few steps, and taking advantage of Lu Shangyan's closed eyes and inability to see him, he grabbed his hand first, pressed his forehead against the back of his hand, and said repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a father, thank you."
He looked just like a child had just been born, and he was kneeling beside his unconscious wife on the hospital bed, overcome with emotion and tears streaming down his face.
Lu Shangyan's fist hardened at the sound of this, and he secretly tried to pull his hand back, but Pei Yumin was clearly prepared: "Don't move around, or you won't be able to see the baby."
"I regret it now." Lu Shangyan slowly opened his eyes, but his gaze did not fall on him. He just stared blankly at the ceiling: "I shouldn't have let you in."
Pei Yumin is now the best at playing dumb, automatically blocking out what he doesn't want to hear: "Don't move, let me check on the baby."
Lu Shangyan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the doctor next to him wearing a mask. He just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. He sincerely felt that this was a mistake he made because he was too soft-hearted. He shouldn't have let Pei Yumin in to take a look just because Pei Yumin said that the child was half of him.
Pei Yumin knew when to stop, and didn't watch for too long. As usual, she recorded a video at the end for her collection. Afterward, she quickly took some toilet paper and wiped the gel off Lu Shangyan's lower abdomen.
Lu Shangyan sat up halfway and glared at him, his hand half-covering his lower abdomen as if trying to stop him, but the result was predictable. When it came to cheating, he was no match for Pei Yumin.
He watched as Pei Yumin threw the tissue into the trash can, and in the end, he didn't even have a chance to pull up his pants.
But the next second, Pei Yumin took advantage of the moment he stood up and whispered in his ear, "You're wearing the underwear I gave you."
Lu Shangyan's heart skipped a beat. Pei Yumin, like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish, couldn't stop smiling triumphantly: "I saw it when I was putting your pants on just now. There was a little pufferfish."
Lu Shangyan pursed his lips. Fortunately, the doctor didn't look this way, otherwise he would have exploded on the spot.
Pei Yumin, however, wanted to add fuel to the fire: "I happen to be wearing a shark costume today, do you want to see it?"
As she was saying this, she actually tried to pull down his pants right in front of him.
Lu Shangyan lowered his voice to stop him: "That's enough!"
Pei Yumin was temporarily obedient, but his whole being was filled with resentment. He was almost able to show off his and Lu Shangyan's matching underwear.
Lu Shangyan waved his hand away, took back his phone, and found that there were many missed calls, but the most recent one was answered.
He turned to look at Pei Yumin, who quickly said, "She told you to go back, but I said you were sick and needed to wait a few days. She then told you to go back as soon as you were better."
Lu Shangyan glanced at the call duration and knew he was definitely hiding something: "She asked you for money, didn't she?"
Pei Yumin couldn't hide it any longer, so he could only nod: "But before we could talk for long, you called me in."
Lu Shangyan no longer regrets calling him in.
But keeping things a secret isn't a solution, especially since Pei Yumin is going back with him this time. There are many things that can't be hidden even if he wants to. Besides, he had recently decided to see how far they could go.
So after returning to the ward, he took the initiative to say, "If she asks you for money, you can't give her a single penny."
Lu Shangyan had said this once before when he was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, and Pei Yumin remembered it very clearly. Even when Lu Shangyan was in such a bad mood, he didn't think about breaking ties with these people.
Remembering the woman's indiscriminate curses at Lu Shangyan, he felt a pang of sympathy for Lu Shangyan, and his nose stung with tears: "Actually, I think the way they treat you is because they don't consider you family at all."
"You've given them a lot of money over the years, haven't you? You've already paid back what they gave you. You don't need to let them control you anymore. This way you can relax a lot and won't have to work yourself to the bone to make money."
If someone had advised him like that before, he would probably have turned around and left, thinking that the other person didn't understand anything, didn't understand his predicament, and was just standing aside making sarcastic remarks and telling him what to do.
But now the person talking to him about these things is Pei Yumin. Even if he doesn't understand anything, Lu Shangyan knows that Pei Yumin won't just talk the talk; Pei Yumin will help him.
Lu Shangyan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I understand. I will have a good talk with them when I get back."
Pei Yumin swallowed her disgust at those people, her mind filled with nothing but Lu Shangyan's current appearance, so adorable: "Can I take a bite?"
He poured out his heart, but under Lu Shangyan's astonished gaze, he remained unrepentant. He found Lu Shangyan even more adorable this way!
Lu Shangyan was at a loss for what to do, because Pei Yumin was really slowly approaching him, and he felt like he was about to be bitten.
Just as he was hesitating whether to get angry and push him away, his phone vibrated a few more times.
When he was first admitted to the hospital, Xia Li and Zhao Jian kept calling and texting him. In the end, Pei Yumin answered and said that he was fine and needed to rest more before they stopped. After that, there were no more messages on his phone. Xia Li would occasionally say that she wanted to come to the hospital to see him, but because of his special condition, he was afraid that Xia Li would find out something was wrong, so he refused every time. After a while, Xia Li stopped bringing up the topic.
But today was quite lively; all sorts of people came to see him.
Even Dong Shufan, who hadn't heard from him for a long time, took the initiative to send him a message.
After An Yun's visit last time, he had been thinking about resigning. Even though he knew that he and Dong Shufan were innocent, he couldn't go back to work and didn't know how to face Dong Shufan. But he kept putting it off and couldn't find a suitable opportunity to bring it up, since it was indeed a rather awkward situation.
Unexpectedly, Dong Shufan, who had been silent until now, spoke first: "[I'm divorced, but I made a mistake, so I can't keep the hospital. I'll give you all the money you still owe, and you don't need to work part-time anymore.]"
He had given Lu Shangyan too much money in the transfer, and Lu Shangyan hesitated whether to accept it or ask him to send it again, or accept it and then return part of it to him.
Pei Yumin quickly tapped the screen twice to collect it for him.
Lu Shangyan said, "He gave too much."
Pei Yumin said matter-of-factly, "Consider it compensation for your emotional distress. I think he didn't give you enough!"
As she spoke, she took his phone and completely blocked Dong Shufan: "A person like him who lies all the time doesn't deserve any sympathy. Who knows if he's taking advantage of your soft heart to do something bad! Now that he's divorced, he doesn't need to hide his sexuality anymore, making it easier for him to do whatever he wants!"
Lu Shangyan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time. In the end, he laughed at himself: "Why are you so agitated? Didn't you block him? He had no chance to do anything."
Pei Yumin declared righteously, "I get angry just thinking about what he wanted to do before! I'm still angry even if he didn't succeed!"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he slammed the phone onto the bed. Afterwards, seeing Lu Shangyan's strange expression, he realized that it was Lu Shangyan's phone that was about to fall apart, and he quickly said in a humble voice, "I'll get you a new one."
Lu Shangyan picked it up and looked at it. It could still be turned on and off, and the screen could be touched: "No need."
Seeing how much he treasured it, Pei Yumin couldn't help but ask, "Are you reluctant to part with the films stored inside?"
Lu Shangyan didn't realize what he was talking about for a moment. He stared at him for a long time, watching Pei Yumin's meaningful wicked smile deepen until his brows furrowed so tightly that he suddenly realized what Pei Yumin was saying.
He braced himself on the bed with both hands, shifted his buttocks back a little, and blushed with embarrassment. No, he looked like a bright red shrimp, wanting to curl up immediately.
Pei Yumin teased him intentionally, "How much did you learn from him?"
Lu Shangyan glared at him: "That's enough!"
Pei Yumin lowered his head: "I'd like to learn too, can you send it to me?"
Lu Shangyan turned his face away: "I've deleted them all!"
He wanted to change the subject, so he picked up his phone to look at train tickets. He planned to buy a ticket for five days from now. During his checkup earlier, the doctor said he was in good health and, apart from needing to eat more and rest more, there was nothing seriously wrong. He could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
Pei Yumin was afraid that Lu Shangyan wouldn't take him back, so he started to frequently try to win him over: "Mom said he'll be able to bring the food over in about ten minutes."
Lu Shangyan pretended not to hear, and Pei Yumin asked again, "What else would you like to eat? We can have her bring it over on the way."
"You must need a lot of things when you go back, right? Tell me, and I'll go buy them for you."
He rambled on for a while, then Lu Shangyan suddenly remembered something and belatedly turned his head: "After An Yun left last time, she never contacted me again. So what method did she use to make Dong Shufan willing to divorce her? And according to what Dong Shufan just said, he should have agreed to An Yun's wish and chosen to leave with nothing."
Pei Yumin seized the opportunity and quickly said, "I've said it before, I'm rich and powerful, she's afraid of me, that's why she doesn't dare to come to you again. Besides, I was her target from the beginning, she just wanted me to help her."
Lu Shangyan responded and then began searching online for Dong Shufan, An Yun, and his own name. Apart from a few news reports about An Yun and Dong Shufan's long-term relationship breaking down and choosing to divorce, there was nothing else. Even these reports were brief and didn't reveal much.
Pei Yumin was sweating profusely with anxiety: "You still don't believe me? I really am amazing! I really am amazing! I'm not lying to you!"
Lu Shangyan narrowed his eyes, he had his own judgment on this matter: "Give me your phone, I want to use it for a bit."
