Strawberry Pop Pop Pop - Chap 76

Chap 76
Around two o’clock in the afternoon, Gu Nuan sat on the bed, clutching a blanket and
hungrily eating the pine nut porridge that Han Yang was feeding him, unable to eat it fast
enough.
“Be careful, it’s hot,” Han Yang insisted on blowing on it before offering it to Gu Nuan’s
mouth.
Gu Nuan was starving and couldn’t wait to eat, staring at the spoon in Han Yang’s hand
impatiently, “Brother, stop blowing, just give it to me already!”
“It might burn you.”
“A few burns won’t hurt.” Gu Nuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as his stomach rumbled.
Fortunately, Aunt Xu was considerate. She cut some fresh peaches and brought them up,
along with a strawberry pudding that Gu Nuan loved, which temporarily eased his hunger
for the porridge he couldn’t wait to eat.
Aunt Xu, being a Beta, couldn’t detect the overwhelming pheromone scent that filled the
room.
She smiled and said, “I’ll go downstairs to pick some vegetables. I’ll make some of your
favorite stir-fries for dinner.” Not only that, but she also cooked red bean rice, happily
reporting the progress and situation to Ji Mu, who in turn informed Gu Yuanchen.
On that day, Gu Yuanchen sent out red envelope bonuses to the entire company, explaining
that there was good news at home, and he was in a good mood.
…
Once Aunt Xu closed the door, Gu Nuan eagerly tore open the pudding packaging and
devoured it in a few bites.
During these past few hours, Gu Nuan had suffered quite a bit. Now, although he was
enjoying his meal, his entire body ached. The mark on the back of his neck had not scabbed
over yet and was throbbing even more now.

Although Han Yang had applied medicine to it, it wouldn’t heal right away.
Seeing Gu Nuan eating peaches, Han Yang decided to slowly cool down the porridge by
stirring it with a spoon.
Gu Nuan stuffed himself with a mouthful of peaches, looking like a little hamster munching
away. His messy hair was smoothed by Han Yang.
“Eat more slowly,” Han Yang said helplessly.
Gu Nuan agreed and munched on the peaches. In no time, there was only one piece left on
the plate, which he gave to Han Yang. He contentedly patted his stomach and waited for the
bowl of porridge that Han Yang held.
Gu Nuan eagerly leaned over to help him blow on it. After a few moments, Gu Nuan planted
a soft kiss on Han Yang’s lips
With a mouthful of sweet peach flavor, Gu Nuan used his nose to nudge Han Yang’s nose.
Finally, he pulled away, his fingers playing with the hem of Han Yang’s shirt. The Gu Nuan
before him looked normal, just like usual. Only Han Yang had witnessed the crying and
fussing Gu Nuan from earlier during their intimate encounter.
The old doctor had been right; after being marked, Gu Nuan had become extremely clingy.

He couldn’t leave Han Yang for more than fifteen minutes. Even when Han Yang went to
take a shower, Gu Nuan would stand outside the door, calling for him.
Even though Han Yang had released enough soothing pheromones for him, Gu Nuan still
easily felt insecure. The information from the hospital explained that this was due to the
Omega’s glands needing a constant supply of strong Alpha pheromones during the recovery
period. Until Gu Nuan fully recovered, he would maintain this state.
It could last from a minimum of a month to as long as a year.
Han Yang gently touched Gu Nuan’s slightly warm earlobe, rolling it between his fingertips,
and said in a low voice, “It feels like I’m dreaming.”
Gu Nuan hugged Han Yang without hesitation, kissed him fiercely, and said shamelessly,
“You even made my butt hurt, how can this feel like a dream?” He buried his face in Han
Yang’s chest. He had never dared to imagine that such a day would come. Gu Nuan took a
deep breath, feeling touched. “Brother, when will my butt stop hurting, tomorrow?”
Han Yang’s arm stiffened for a moment.
Gu Nuan thought Han Yang’s hand had gone numb and tried to massage it and kiss it again.
With a full expression of remorse, Han Yang said, “Let me apply some more ointment for
you.”
That evening, Gu Nuan was very grateful for the greatness of modern medicine. At noon, he
couldn’t get out of bed due to the pain in his butt, but now he was happily going downstairs
to have dinner. Of course, he couldn’t jump or exert too much force; he could only move
around gently.
Aunt Xu had already left, and the table had just been set with a variety of hot dishes. Since
Gu Nuan had his lunch late, Aunt Xu had also cooked the rice later than usual.

It was now around eight or nine in the evening.
Han Yang served Gu Nuan food and repeatedly cautioned, “Absolutely no more than one
bowl of rice.” However, when he opened the electric rice cooker, Aunt Xu had made a whole
pot of red bean rice, and the sweet aroma wafted into Gu Nuan’s nose.
Han Yang turned around to find Gu Nuan biting his rice spoon and swallowing saliva.
He thought that perhaps the old doctor had forgotten to mention one more thing: during
the recovery period, an Omega’s appetite could be astonishingly huge…
It had only been a short while since he ate.
Han Yang couldn’t resist Gu Nuan’s pitiful gaze and reluctantly compromised. “You can only
eat one and a half bowls.” He scooped some rice for Gu Nuan and placed it in front of him,
continuously offering vegetables and occasionally a few pieces of meat.
Gu Nuan also served Han Yang some rice, saying, “Brother, this red bean rice is delicious.
You should eat more.”
Han Yang took a few bites of rice and wholeheartedly took care of Gu Nuan while eating.
Suddenly, his phone rang, and it was a call from He Yunchu.
“…” Han Yang couldn’t remember leaving any unfinished work.
He knew that Gu Nuan didn’t particularly like He Yunchu and didn’t want it to interfere
with Gu Nuan’s meal, so Han Yang hung up the phone and replied to He Yunchu via text:
“[Senior, I can’t take calls right now. Is there something you need?]”
He Yunchu sent a photo in which he was wearing a mask and making a “peace” sign. Han
Yang was puzzled and not interested in his inexplicable selfie. Just as he was about to put it
away, he noticed another person in the photo – Yu Yi.
In the picture, Yu Yi was holding several bottles of alcohol, sitting at the dining table in a
disheveled state, crying with snot and tears, completely lacking the image that a college
student should have.
Han Yang: “[I don’t know him.]”
He Yunchu: “[This is a big stall near C University. He’s drunk, and he keeps calling Gu
Nuan’s name. Are you sure you don’t know him?]”

Han Yang: “…”
He then turned to Gu Nuan and said to him, “I need to take a work call.”
Gu Nuan was busy eating and obediently nodded.
Han Yang found a study, closed the door, and called He Yunchu. “Senior, he is Gu Nuan’s
senior. He used to pursue him, but they have no connection now. Could you send me the
specific location?”
“Are you planning to beat him up?”
“No, but he’s causing trouble for Gu Nuan by acting like this,” Han Yang said, “Senior, please
send me the address. I’ll have someone handle it.”
“Long-distance efforts can’t help with an immediate crisis. Why do you always act like a
blockhead when it comes to Gu Nuan’s matters, hiring people to deal with it… How much
money are you earning? You should save some. Why don’t you ask me for help?”
“Alright, will you deal with him for me, senior?.”
He Yunchu kept talking, but in reality, he had already asked his manager to help escort Yu
Yi into his car. He asked Han Yang about Yu Yi’s personal information and address, but
unfortunately, Han Yang didn’t know much about him.
He Yunchu promptly hung up the phone, sat in the back seat of his private car, and looked
disdainfully at the intoxicated Yu Yi beside him.
“You should thank me, or else Han Yang, that little guy, could resort to killing you to silence
you.”
If He Yunchu hadn’t had a sudden craving for late-night snacks and remembered Yu Yi’s
handsome face, he wouldn’t have appeared and found this scene. What was even more
coincidental was that he heard Yu Yi calling Gu Nuan’s name.
He Yunchu thought he might be mistaken but it turned out it was indeed Gu Nuan from Han
Yang’s family. He thought to himself: Well, with Gu Nuan’s handsome face, how could
several Alphas not be tempted? People are all the same!
However, when Han Yang, who had hung up the phone, returned to the dining room, Gu
Nuan was no longer there.
On the dining table, Gu Nuan’s bowl contained half-eaten red bean rice. Han Yang became
anxious, calling Gu Nuan several times, but there was no response from downstairs. He
rushed upstairs and opened the door to the master bedroom but didn’t find Gu Nuan.
“Gu Nuan!”
He called for Gu Nuan as he went room by room, and finally, in a storage room, he found Gu
Nuan crouched among his clothes, trying to steal his underwear.
