Lop-Eared Guard – 33

10th Sep 2022

Xia Jingtian squatted outside Yan Yi’s room and stuck his hand on the door, almost being able to feel Yan Yi’s sad mental state as he trembled close to the door. 

It’s just that he was holding strong in front of Xia Jingtian without losing himself. 

Xia Jingtian sat down with his back pressed against the bedroom door, then pushed Yan Yi’s phone that fell at the lobby in his panic through the crack. He tilted his head and pillowed his hands, looking at the flower-shaped chandelier that attracted a small flying insect, and softly asked the little rabbit in the door:

“Hey, do you like the baby, or do you just like Lu Shangjin’s baby?” 

Leaning against the door, Yan Yi remained silent for a long time. 

Xia Jingtian didn’t receive an answer after waiting for a while. The wooden door against his back loosened a little, and the shadow under the door left. 

He also stood up and sat down on the sofa at the lobby, looking down at his phone screen. The photo on his lock screen was replaced with the three rose stalks of the flowers that Yan Yi had eaten before. 

He opened the map again to see the route to the nearest local obstetric hospital.

In fact, the young master of Jiu’An Hong Ye was not good at taking care of people, but he was self-taught after meeting Yan Yi. 

    ——

Gu Wei was sitting on the swing in the garden on the second floor and looking up at the stars. Through the open glass windows of the bedroom, he saw Yan Yi nestled in bed, hugging the pillow as he lay on his side, and his body was bowed like a thin and weak ball, while a small part of the pillow next to his eye was wet. 

He walked over and poked through the window, drew the curtains, and closed the window for him. Yawning, he then went to bed in his own bedroom. 

“If you don’t fall in love, there’s no such thing as being forced.”

    ——

The next morning, a group of backpackers came into the shop. They came to Nan Qi for a tour and were visiting this bar street. Yan Yi was unable to get away, so he had to wait until tomorrow to go to the hospital. 

On the third day, Gu Wei gave Yan Yi a day off. 

After tidying up his bedroom, Yan Yi wrapped himself up in a grey windbreaker– On this day he received his salary, Yan Yi spent the whole morning on the street alone. The shop assistant lady enthusiastically praised Yan Yi for simply looking like a clothes rack1. How did he look so good in these clothes? 

Yan Yi looked at himself in the mirror, his collarbones that became thin protruding out. Maybe it was because the glandular dormancy injection had not yet worn off its effect, so there was a faint abnormal look on his face. 

“Does this- look good?” Yan Yi asked the shop assistant lady. 

Under the indifferent gaze of the pair of light grey eyes, the melancholy could be transmitted into the heart like temperature. 

The shop assistant lady was stunned for a moment. Due to the habit of carefully observing people’s expressions and words that arose from work, she saw the wedding ring on Yan Yi’s ring finger, its surface polished to a bright shine, so she said with a warm smile, “Of course you look good, your husband will definitely like it.”  

Hearing this, Yan Yi took a photo of himself while facing the fitting room mirror. The melancholy in his eyes suddenly disappeared by half. His eyes and eyebrows curved to look at himself in the mirror. It seemed that he felt comfortable in his heart.
