Lop-Eared Guard - Chap 80
Edited and Proofread by: cream
Lu Shangjin didn’t allow him to come over. The dignified president of the Flying Eagle group took the vase as he finished venting out his anger; squatting down on the ground and struggling with difficulty to pick up the broken glass. It’s not that he felt bad about the vase, but he was afraid the broken glass might prick his darling’s feet.
He also didn’t want to mention this bunch of flowers and didn’t want other men’s names to appear in this family. He should be the only alpha that the little rabbit has in his heart and keep his territory firmly enclosed.
Yan Yi had picked up the school report card that was thrown on the table with disdain by Lu Lin before, bouncing in front of Lu Shangjin with his little ears flinging around. He held the carefully flattened report card in front of him like a sacred object, his face full of surprise and adoration.
The little rabbit said gege is a xue-ba1, and even quietly stuck the report card in the closet he slept in, using a red pen to draw three small flowers on the horizontal line in the column where parents’ signatures should be.
At that time, Lu Shangjin still had a cold and proud face, but the disdainful look in his eyes was already soft enough to return him to his childish age. He took Yan Yi to eat expensive ice cream, watching the little rabbit who was a head shorter than him squinting his eyes in satisfaction, and wiped the ice cream off the corner of his lips for him, naturally licking it into his mouth.
At that age, he could already see through the flattery or sincerity behind the words of praise. Every time he got a good result, only one person applauded and cheered for him, and Lu Shangjin only needed him as an audience member.
Yan Yi stood a few steps away holding his belly, recalling with a bit of muddledness; what on earth did the innocent baby’s breath flowers do to offend Lu Shangjjin.
A small lion cub appeared in his mind and he had a sudden epiphany. Carrying a shadow of a smile in his gaze, he looked at Lu Shangjin, stunned.
“You really are frighteningly small-minded,” Yan Yi went to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom to rummage for alcohol and gauze, when he saw a tube of used-up inhibitors thrown in the garbage.
The strong inhibitor; the kind he used to use. He didn’t know what mentality Lu Shangjin had to inject this, but he should have learned this painful method of seeking survival and not death this time.
His alpha hadn’t been hunting for pleasure for a long time anymore; it was indeed a rare occurrence for such an indulgent alpha.
Lu Shanjgin was a narcissist who loved his own reflection. He never liked anyone and every omega around him was just to satisfy his instincts, a toy to vent so that he could be more mentally focused on work.
So when he saw his own shadow in Lu Shangjin’s increasingly penetrating eyes, Yan Yi was flustered.
In the past, no matter how much he was pampered, the alpha’s self-confidence and the way he looked at anyone disdainfully could not be suppressed in Yan Yi’s sparkling eyes. But now he has changed even to the point where there was an exceeding amount of cautiousness to right his wrongs when he was in front of Yan Yi.
He took the small garbage can on the coffee table and picked up the glass in Lu Shangjin’s hand, took the broom to collect the rest of the pieces, and flushed Lu Shangjin’s hand with alcohol and wrapped it with gauze.
Lu Shangjin stood dumbfoundedly, looking exactly like a big golden retriever with his paw outstretched waiting for his master to wash him.
Without waiting for Yan Yi to fasten the gauze tightly, he turned his hand and grabbed the other person’s wrist, pressing Yan Yi against the wall, and asked him in an insane state of mind, “Are you going to dump me after giving birth? You still want to leave, you want to take my son and leave together, the both of you don’t want me anymore.”
Yan Yi pushed him and swung his hand away, but the tight grip hurt him. His little ears cowered and hid in his hair, but the more he struggled, the tighter the grip became. The temperament of the alpha in a rut was alarmingly irritable; the strength of his hand could not be accurately controlled to a suitable amount.
Yan Yi suddenly softened and rested his head on Lu Shangjin’s chest.
The furious and irritable falcon was then immediately pacified.
He loosened his sharp claws, opened his wings in a daze, and protected the soft little white rabbit, warm and safe underneath.
Lu Shangjin felt a warm wetness on the skin of his chest through the fabric. A second ago, he was still going crazy, but the next second his whole body melted. His temper had all worn out without a trace. He carefully held Yan Yi’s face and soothed with a soft voice, “You’ve taken my heart away, I can’t live anymore.”
Yan Yi just buried his face in his chest, afraid to look face to face with Lu Shangjin, but also afraid to see the helplessness in the alpha’s eyes.
He silently pointed to the two pots of daffodils on the balcony. Those two pots of flowers are very delicate, you leave them there and not care. Why aren’t they wilting? I water them. Where did the nutrients solution come from? I bought them. Thoughtless and jealous.
After coaxing Yan Yi to go to sleep in the middle of the night, Lu Shangjin calmed down and listened to the gentle and peaceful breathing of the omega in the dark bedroom. Once he confirmed that his beloved omega was still there, he finally settled down.
The weather had turned hot- rabbits were naturally afraid of heat. After spending some time in Southeast Asia, he would often pester Lu Shangjin to get him some ice cubes to chew on. Lu Shangjin couldn’t endure the look of him holding an AK and acting coquettish towards him so he brought him ice cubes in complete obedience.
Now that he was carrying little Lu Yan in his tummy, he couldn’t be arbitrary with the basic necessities of life. He couldn’t turn on the air conditioner before the most intense heat of the month, so he slept tossing and turning, and even woke up from his own tossing at five or six o’clock.
Halfway through sleep, he grabbed the hem of Lu Shangjin’s clothes and gently tugged at him, shaking him awake and saying that it’s hot and he wanted to turn on the air conditioner, turning it on to 29 degrees would be fine.
The sleepy little rabbit mumbled at the tip of his nose and grabbed his hem to mumble about wanting to cool down. It was truly so cute that it made anyone want to kiss him.
Lu Shangjin picked up Yan Yi’s little ears and gently fanned them to dissipate heat. But Yan Yi was still uncomfortably hot and asked him to use a small fan to blow.
Using the fan wasn’t good either. They hadn’t reached the day when it was the most hot and the blowing would cause his joints to hurt.
Lu Shangjin sat up, took a business magazine, and lifted one of Yan Yi’s little ears to give him a gentle fanning.
He didn’t feel that it was laborious serving his pregnant wife but with Yan Yi’s belly getting bigger every day, he became visibly delicate and squeamish.
After the weather got hotter, the little darling wife he held in the palm of his hand started to become a demon.
He started a fight during dinner.
He didn’t want to eat hot meals, so he deliberately dragged on in the bedroom until the rice was almost cold before coming out to eat. As a result, Lu Shangjin reheated the cold rice and served it again.
Yan Yi couldn’t taste the food that was too hot for his mouth, but he couldn’t eat cold food either. Lu Shangjin blew it for him and pushed it over. He was also only willing to eat the congee when it had gone through cold water.
After a consensus was reached on one issue, a new one emerged.
Yan Yi had a preference for vegetarian food. Previously, he was restrained in front of Lu Shangjin, and also ate two small bites of lean meat and spareribs. Now he was high maintenance, like he had become a different person. If he didn’t want to eat, he wouldn’t, and would pick them out from his bowl.
Lu Shangjin laughed angrily. And like a father, he went to buy the finest beef brain and stewed it with tomatoes.
Yan Yi only picked tomatoes from the inside and ate them. How would he be willing to pry open his mouth to pour it in? It made Lu Shangjin so worried that he had a headache from how hard it was to solve this. He hugged Yan Yi and bit his ear, “A stinky kid like you. In a few months, there will be another one just like you,” His mouth was full of complaints, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Having a sense of security while being relied on, he no longer had an extreme fear of Yan Yi leaving.
Deep pockets can be left unattended, while shallow pockets can only be pinned down for fear of losing things.
The trembling fear in the meanwhile was only known by the depth of his pockets.
Yan Yi shook his little ears and secretly smoothed the wrinkles on the hem of Lu Shangjin’s shirt.
His eight months pregnant belly was like carrying a small watermelon. Sitting, lying and walking were a little inconvenient. In the eyes of alpha, it was even more rare. He carried Yan Yi around like a hermit crab would carry a sea anemone.
Yan Yi no longer resisted him touching the baby. He sat on the bed with his alpha as they held his belly together, waiting to touch the baby’s feet kicking.
Suddenly, he heard Yan Yi yelp ‘aiya’ softly. Lu Shangjin looked up at him, but Yan Yi covered his upper body and shooed Lu Shangjin out.
Initially, Lu Shangjin didn’t understand how the little rabbit suddenly flipped out, but then he saw him carefully lifting up the thin quilt and covering his chest.
Lu Shangjin immediately became alert and observed around him like sizing up a prey, coaxing him not to be afraid, while gently pulling off the thin quilt covering Yan Yi’s chest.
The front of the silk nightgown was soaked with two small spots, pointing out the red bean-like shape.
Yan Yi immediately took the quilt and blocked, pretending to be relaxed as he said, it’s been like this the past few days, there’s a little swelling pain, it’s fine.
He then motionlessly raised his little rabbit ears to wrap around his red face into a mummy.
Lu Shangjin called Dr. Zhong who seemed quite busy on the other end. It took several rings to answer.
On the other end of the phone, Dr. Zhong’s voice was a bit hoarse and he said intermittently, then you- help him, r-rub it.
Lu Shangjin frowned and listened. He vaguely heard someone urging Dr. Zhong to hurry up and hang up after he finished.
Xia Pingtian’s lewd red rose pheromones literally rushed out along the phone and hit Lu Shangjin in the face. He calmly hung up as if nothing had happened, regardless of whether it was big Xia or little Xia, hearing the voice of the last name Xia was annoying.
Yan Yi bit his lip and pressed his foot against him to prevent him from approaching, but Lu Shangjin grabbed his ankle and dragged him into his arms, pulling the little rabbit onto his lap and gently rubbing it for him from behind.
The two petite soft breasts could fill the palm of the alpha’s hands. Lu Shangjin rubbed them slowly and with effort, while Yan Yi held his arm and trembled.
Yan Yi’s buttocks rubbed against Lu Shangjin’s leg through his silk pyjama pants, and gradually something squeezed between his thighs.
Lu Shangjin whispered sternly in his ear, “Behave.”
He tried to be as stern as possible, but his hoarse and dry voice still revealed the alpha’s wretchedness at this time. He wouldn’t have dared to touch Yan Yi when he hadn’t been forgiven, let alone when he was approaching the due date. His favourite baobei was carrying his favourite little baobei; he had the heart of a thief but had no guts.
Taking advantage of the recent sunny weather, Lu Shangjin often took Yan Yi out for a walk. They went to the villa where they used to live and pack up their things, preparing to live in their current small duplex apartment. Although it was a little smaller, the taste of home was a bit stronger.
Yan Yi sat on the sofa with his stomach outstretched. He was ordered not to move around to avoid being bumped so he instructed Lu Shangjin to seal everything he liked into a cardboard box to take away.
Lu Shangjin listened to him and pulled out a stack of CDs from the TV cabinet drawer. Yan Yi picked out the one they had seen in the cinema and let him throw the rest away.
The name of the movie on the CD was reflected in Lu Shangjin’s eyes, and his heart warmed up. He took a dust bag to help him seal the CD.
After packing up, Lu Shangjin went to look at the grand piano in the piano room, the only thing he took with him when he moved out from Lu Lin’s place.
A layer of dust fell on the piano. He didn’t touch it and no one dared to take care of it either. Anyone fortunate enough to have seen this piano knew that it was Lu Shangjin’s treasure. It was forbidden to wipe, touch, and more so play.
Yan Yi took a dry rag over and wiped the lid of the piano by hand and asked Lu Shangjin to go to the cabinet to bring the piano cleaner over. After Yan Yi had left, this four million piano was surprisingly left unattended.
