He Yi persisted for a while, but no matter how much he pleaded or acted spoiled, Shang Jingwu just wouldn’t agree to take him along. So he got upset, his lips pouting so much they could hang an oil bottle, his cheeks puffed up like a little frog, and he said angrily, “Honey, you’re so mean! I’m not playing with you anymore!”
He was seething with anger, so when he went to sleep that night, he deliberately slept on the side away from Shang Jingwu, lying on his side with his back to Shang Jingwu.
Shang Jingwu knew he was sulking, so he moved over to hug him and pulled him a little closer to the middle of the bed, saying with a soft laugh, “You’re sleeping on the edge of the bed now, be careful you don’t fall off if you turn over in the night.”
He Yi snorted, turned his face away angrily, moved back to the edge of the bed, and domineeringly rolled the blankets up to his side, then fell asleep hugging the extra blankets.
Shang Jingwu had no choice but to take another blanket from the cabinet next to him and lie alone on his half of the bed. He couldn’t fall asleep for a long time, feeling a sense of emptiness in his arms.
He suddenly realized that he had gotten used to sleeping with He Yi in his arms, and now he couldn’t fall asleep for a long time if he couldn’t hold him.
He Yi acted very strong-willed before going to sleep, but not long after falling asleep, he still habitually squeezed into Shang Jingwu’s arms, wrapping his arms and legs around the large pillow.
Shang Jingwu smiled silently, then held He Yi and fell asleep.
The next morning, when He Yi woke up, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Shang Jingwu’s beautifully curved chin.
Even from this perspective, Shang Jingwu was still so handsome that it made one’s heart race at first glance. He Yi couldn’t help but lean in and kiss him. Only after kissing him did he remember that he was still angry with Shang Jingwu, so he quickly stepped back, afraid that Shang Jingwu would suddenly wake up and discover the bad thing he had just done.
But when he thought about being separated from Shang Jingwu for a while, and not being able to hug or kiss Shang Jingwu for many days, he felt that it would be a loss if he didn’t kiss him a few more times now. So he moved closer to Shang Jingwu again and kissed him several times in one go.
Seeing Shang Jingwu’s eyelashes tremble slightly, as if he was about to wake up, He Yi was startled and hurriedly lay back down, closing his eyes tightly and pretending that he was still asleep.
Shang Jingwu raised his hand and touched the spot where He Yi had kissed him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
This little guy is really…
He Yi waited anxiously for a while, but when he didn’t hear Shang Jingwu get up, he assumed that Shang Jingwu hadn’t woken up. So he quietly opened his eyes a crack to confirm that Shang Jingwu was still sleeping. He couldn’t help but go over to steal a kiss, but as soon as his lips touched Shang Jingwu’s lips, he was grabbed and kissed passionately.
He Yi stared in surprise, but Shang Jingwu’s kissing skills were so good that he quickly closed his eyes and enjoyed it. After the kiss, he remembered that he was still angry with Shang Jingwu, so he quickly wiped his mouth with his hand, pretended that nothing had happened, and jumped up to run away.
Shang Jingwu stretched out his long arm and pulled the little guy back. He pulled him into his arms and kissed him again. At first, He Yi was concerned about his pride and wanted to refuse, but he still couldn’t resist the comfortable feeling when kissing Shang Jingwu and soon became immersed in it.
After the kiss ended, Shang Jingwu used his thumb to wipe the water from He Yi’s lips, and asked softly with a smile, “Are you still angry?”
Feeling embarrassed, He Yi blushed, grumbled, turned around, jumped off the bed, and ran into the bathroom to wash up.
He had class in the first period of the morning. After breakfast, he rushed into the study, grabbed his schoolbag and was about to run out when Shang Jingwu saw this and called after him, “Wait, you didn’t bring your stationery.”
Upon hearing this, He Yi quickly looked down to check his schoolbag and found that he had indeed forgotten to bring his stationery. He then hurriedly went back to get it.
Shang Jingwu handed him his pencil case and casually remarked, “Why are you always so forgetful?”
There have been many times before when he forgot to bring his textbooks or stationery, but this child doesn’t like others to pack his schoolbag for him, so he asks someone to bring it to school every few days.
For some reason, He Yi suddenly threw a tantrum, snatched the pencil case from Shang Jingwu’s hand, and said fiercely, “Mind your own business!”
This was the first time He Yi had been so fierce to Shang Jingwu, and he was stunned for two seconds. Then he suddenly noticed that He Yi’s eyes were a little red.
This child used to express his emotions freely, whether he wanted to cry or laugh, so the sight of him with red eyes trying hard not to cry was especially heartbreaking.
Seeing He Yi turn to run away again, Shang Jingwu quickly grabbed He Yi’s hand and asked softly, “Are you that reluctant to part with me?”
He Yi was already very reluctant to part with him and was feeling sad. Now, after being asked this question, he finally couldn’t hold back his tears. The warm teardrops fell onto Shang Jingwu’s hand, making Shang Jingwu’s heart tremble slightly.
He Yi struggled against Shang Jingwu’s grip on his hand, tears streaming down his face as he stubbornly insisted, “I’m not reluctant to part with you! If you want to leave, then leave! I’m going to school.”
Shang Jingwu pulled him into his arms, wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and gently coaxed him in a soft voice, “I’ll be back as soon as I finish the surgery. It’ll be quick. If you miss me, you can call me or video chat with me.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bring He Yi along; he was afraid that He Yi would worry about him too much, just like he did during the last fire.
Knowing that He Yi had stayed by his side without eating or sleeping after regaining consciousness, he didn’t want that to happen again.
If there are any complications during the surgery because they are far apart, he can still find a way to fool He Yi. But if He Yi actually goes with him, that won’t work.
He Yi sniffed, knowing that the matter was a done deal. He finally suppressed his temper for the time being and said with a sob in his voice, “Then husband, you have to remember to video chat with me, come back early, don’t abandon me, and think about me every day.”
Shang Jingwu smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll remember that.”
He Yi cuddled with him for a while before reluctantly standing up from his arms. Shang Jingwu saw that he looked so pitiful and glanced at the time, saying, “I’ll take you to school.”
”Will you be late?” He Yi asked.
“No, there’s still time,” Shang Jingwu said.
Then he asked someone to postpone the departure time, and only after sending He Yi to school did he turn around and head to the airport.
After He Yi sat down in the classroom, he couldn’t concentrate on the lesson for the first time. He was distracted for most of the class and finally couldn’t help but take out his phone to send a message to Shang Jingwu to ask if he had boarded the plane.
Shang Jingwu quickly replied: Just arrived, haven’t taken off yet.
He Yi knew that he should put his phone in airplane mode when flying, so he didn’t bother Shang Jingwu to continue chatting. He replied with a nodding emoji and put his phone away to continue listening to the lecture.
Looking at the GIF, Shang Jingwu couldn’t help but imagine what He Yi would look like doing that gesture, and replied with a heart emoji in a very middle-aged and elderly style.
He Yi only saw Shang Jingwu’s reply after class and couldn’t help but complain: “Honey, your expression is so ugly. I’ll send you some nicer ones.”
As soon as Shang Jingwu got off the plane, he was greeted with a ton of kisses and hearts. He immediately called He Yi and asked with a smile, “Have you eaten yet?”
He Yi hadn’t finished chewing when he mumbled, “I’m eating! Eating with Grandpa!”
Shang Jingwu reminded him, “Finish your food first, so you don’t choke.”
He Yi obediently swallowed his food before saying, “I’m finished eating. Honey, have you gotten off the plane yet?”
”Yes, just got off,” Shang Jingwu replied.
”Have you eaten, honey?” He Yi asked again.
”Go to eat in a bit. Did you get into any trouble today?”
Before he left, he had arranged for a team of bodyguards to follow He Yi both openly and secretly, in order to prevent the little fool from being deceived or bullied by anyone again. He also asked Assistant Du to keep a close eye on He Yi. With his grandfather at home helping to take care of him, he should be able to avoid any more trouble, but he was still a little worried.
He Yi immediately replied, “No! I’m a good boy, you can ask Grandpa if you don’t believe me!”
After saying that, he handed the phone to the old man.
The old man chuckled as he took the phone, chatted briefly with Shang Jingwu, and then returned it to He Yi so as not to disturb the young couple’s sweet time together.
Shang Jingwu didn’t talk to He Yi much, just told him not to cause trouble and not to run around at school, and then let him continue eating.
Before Shang Jingwu hung up the phone, He Yi said, “Honey, you should eat well too, eat more!”
Shang Jingwu smiled and agreed. He hadn’t had much of an appetite after sitting on the plane for so long and had originally planned to go straight to sleep. However, because of He Yi’s instructions, he ended up eating something before going to bed.
He Yi couldn’t sleep that night, so he tossed and turned on the big bed. Finally, he got up and went to the study to do some more advanced math problems, staying up until midnight before going back to sleep.
Since there was no Shang Jingwu to hug, he hugged Shang Jingwu’s pillow to his chest, buried his face in it, smelled the lingering scent of Shang Jingwu, and imagined that Shang Jingwu was still by his side. This time, he finally slowly drifted off to sleep.
