Shen Yuxiu moved, lightly tapping the corner of Yan Chi's eye with the knuckle of his index finger, and pulled the quilt that fell to Yan Chi's waist with a wry smile.
"Xiuzhu, please stop losing your temper. You also know that my mother has that kind of temper. Just listen to what she says, not take it to your heart. I will definitely treat you..."
"Did you two sleep together last night?"
Yan Chi turned his head and looked at the complicated patterns on the bed curtains. His Adam's apple rolled hard and the corners of his mouth tightened.
"We..." Shen Yuxiu was a little flustered, his hand stopped in mid-air and he didn't know where to put it.
Too many things have happened in the past few days. Even Shen Yuxiu's body has visibly lost a lot of weight after surviving the past few days.
A few days ago, Yan Chi had an unexpected health slide, and the family was in chaos. Before Shen Yuxiu had time to grieve, his mother had already begun discussing letting him marry his distant cousin to celebrate the occasion.
Mother Shen desperately wanted to have a grandson. When she said this, she never thought about forcing Yan Chi. She glanced at Yan Chi several times unhappy and said with disdain: "You have to marry a proper wife. Look, Xiu'er, hurry up and marry your cousin into the house. If he gives birth to a healthy boy in the future, let him be your co-wife. The child can't live without a mother. "
Shen Yuxiu pulled his mother out of the door and almost broke his teeth.
"Mom, what do you mean by saying these words in front of Xiuzhu?"
Shen Yuxiu has been obedient since childhood, but after he married Yan Chi, many things went against her will, inevitably making his mother uncomfortable.
"I just want you to marry your sister quickly and give me a grandson." Yan Chi tripped one day, and Shen's mother grew a few more white hairs on her temples. "I didn't want you to marry him in the first place. His cinnabar looked like he couldn't have a baby. When he finally got pregnant and fell again. "
Mother Shen felt a headache when she mentioned it, and pointed to the closed door, "Did you hear what the doctor said? He can't conceive another child in his body! No matter how rich the Yan family is, they can't compare to mine. Grandson is important!"
Shen Yuxiu finally persuaded his mother to go back.
Who knew that when he returned to the room at night, his cousin was lying naked on his bed, and when he turned around, the door was locked from the outside
The mother patted the door, her voice filled with joy, "Be good, Xiu'er. Let me have a grandson as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you don't want a wife. I asked your sister if she is willing to be your concubine."
The doors and windows were sealed from the outside by his mother. Shen Yuxiu had no choice but to sleep with his cousin for one night in his clothes.
But when this sentence came out of Yan Chi's mouth, Shen Yuxiu felt guilty for no reason.
"We didn't do anything else. If you don't believe Xiuzhu, I can ask her to come over and show you the gonggong sand on her hand."
Shen Yuxiu said that he was about to tell his subordinates to call for others, but Yan Chi raised his hand to stop him, "No, don't bother them."
After Yan Chi had gone through so much trouble, his body was as thin as a piece of paper. The corners of his eyes were turned crimson due to the coughing, and when he glanced over coldly, he looked unfamiliar.
Shen Yuxiu was stunned. He had never seen such an expression on Yan Chi's face. Yan Chi always smiled at him, with tenderness and warmth in his eyes, as if he would never leave him no matter what happened.
"Xiuzhu, if you don't want me to marry her, then I won't marry her, okay?" Shen Yuxiu stretched out his hand to hold Yan Chi into his arms, but saw a tear falling from the corner of Yan Chi's eye, sliding down his pale cheek and hanging on his chin superior.
As soon as he made a move, the tears swayed and fell on the quilt, leaving a dark patch.
"Shen Yuxiu, let's not make it so embarrassing, okay?"
Yan Chi's almost pleading tone stung Shen Yuxiu. It was not like he had never heard Yan Chi begging him like this before.
He has always liked Dou Yan Chi and often likes to hear Yan Chi beg him with a soft voice and his head raised. He used to find it amusing to see Yan Chi like this.
But not this Yan Chi, like he is now.
He still had a look that he liked, but the words that came out of his mouth could nail him to the spot.
"You know your mother has never approved of me," Yan Chi suppressed himself from crying and swallowed his sobs back into his stomach before continuing, "If I hadn't been pregnant with your child, what do you think? Will she be good to me?"
Shen Yuxiu wanted to explain something to his mother but found that he had no way to speak. He could not find any reason to defend his mother.
Not only Yan Chi, but occasionally when he went to the kitchen to bring medicine for Yan Chi, he could hear the maids talking about Yan Chi behind his back, saying that he should leave the young master but insisting on attaching himself to be the childbirth mother, whom no one would love.
Every time Shen Yuxiu hears these words, he feels sorry for Yan Chi, but he has no way to solve it. He can only be a coward and think about living one day at a time.
But he didn't expect that Yan Chi wouldn't be able to stand it any longer.
"If you feel bored staying in the Shen Mansion, I will take you back to the Yan Mansion and I won't let my mother bother you anymore, okay?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Chi sat upright from his bed and pushed Shen Yuxiu back several steps.
But after he finished pushing him, he realized that he was helpless and speechless. Sometimes Shen Yuxiu was as innocent as a child who didn't care about the world, and he would always say so many things that he couldn't handle.
He forced himself to stand up from his bed, and the clothes that were originally close-fitting now had enough space to fit one more person in it.
"We are not calm now, ... cough cough cough... I will go home and stay there until you think about it." Yan Chi walked around Shen Yuxiu and walked to the door, "Once you finish thinking about it, just send a letter and ask your servant to come to Yan Mansion."
Shen Yuxiu held his hand from behind, almost half-kneeling in front of him, burying his face in his hand, crying with tears, and uttering words of condolences.
Yan Chi couldn't break away and let him hold his hand. He no longer stroked Shen Yuxiu's hair as gently as usual.
Instead, he waited until Shen Yuxiu had finished venting his emotions, and then added calmly, "Shen Yuxiu, you are no longer a child. There is no reason for us to love anymore. Loving you like this is too tiring."
Shen Yuxiu suddenly let go of his hand and knelt on the ground in despair, watching Yan Chi walk out of the courtyard without looking back.
Yan Chi's body had not recovered at all, and he had already reached his limit when he walked out of Shen's mansion. The early winter wind blew on his body piercing like a knife. Yan Chi stood at the door and looked up at the gloomy sky, which he felt was still a bit dazzling. The sun peeked out from the clouds, making him dizzy.
Before he could take a step further, his body swayed and fell straight to one side.
Before losing consciousness, he felt like he was falling into someone's warm embrace.
