The Fairy Fox: Shen Yan and Lu Yin

Chapter 3

Not hearing anything from Xiao Mo for a long time he finally turned around and looked at him. Xiao Mo was frozen in place, probably due to shock. Lu Bai waited patiently for the other male to process this news.

"He's a man, it's impossible." Lu Bai chuckled a bit, albeit sarcastically hearing what Xiao Mo said.

"We are celestials, even though we came down to the mortal realm we are not exactly bound by the laws. Even when we take the appearances of mortals to blend in our true essence remains that of a celestial so how could the law that only women can conceive be applied to us?"

Looking confused Xiao Mo continued looking at Lu Bai with a questioning gaze. It was clear he had lots of questions, but he was lost as to where to begin.

"Wait, does this mean you can also get pregnant?"

Lu Bai spotted a genuine smile this time, "Our case is different but if we wanted children, yes, it's possible to conceive. Even in Ge's case there are certain conditions that needed to happen for conception to take place, we might not be bound by mortal laws, but certain events still need to happen to be able to conceive."

Looking even more confused Xiao Mo continued asking, "What conditions? If so, how was brother still able to conceive then?"

"One of the events is that both parties need to be willing, like really willing amongst other things, but you and I don't need to worry about these things, especially now." Finished with his coffee at last, he wanted to start making his way downstairs so he could continue the rest of the day.

Xiao Mo held his hand holding him back, "Where are you going? You need to explain clearly! You and I have been having sex practically every day! What if...oh God could I be...?" Xiao Mo started panicking a little, "But wait, I'm human and not a celestial so it's still impossible." Turning to the other male for reassurance, "Right?"

Lu Bai suddenly had a mischievous idea to tease his boyfriend. "Well, it's not exactly impossible...you and I do share a special bond which might change things up bit."

Panicking, "WHAT?!" Xiao Mo started pacing around touching his stomach, "I've been tired lately, sleeping a lot...I crave chicken which foxes like to eat..."

Lu Bai started laughing so hard droplets of tears gathered at the corner of his eyes, wiping them away, he couldn't stop himself Xiao Mo was just so cute right now. Hearing his laughter, Xiao Mo was not amused, he turned sharply and glared at his so-called boyfriend who didn't seem phased by all of this.

Deciding to finally put him out of his misery, he placed his hands on Xiao Mo's shoulders to stop him from pacing and turned him around so that they were facing each other.

"You're not pregnant."

"You said it was possible between us even if..." blushing a little he persevered and continued on, "Even if you're not the bottom...I could get pregnant..." Xiao Mo could finally not continue, he was blushing so hard his whole self was red.

"Trust me if you ever fall pregnant you will know. Right now, you're definitely not and you won't be any time soon."

Rolling his eyes a bit he could not help but pinch Lu Bai's arm a bit realising he's just been played. The relief came suddenly, and he deflated a bit. It was good news but there was a little disappointment he could not help but feel. He couldn't help it, he also didn't understand why. He quickly shook himself and decided to just concentrate on the relief.

Now that he thinks about it, Lu Bai didn't say it was impossible either. So, they could conceive? He felt a flicker on his head.

"Stop thinking so much."

"Isn't it because of you?" Xiao Mo countered half rolling his eyes again, then he realised that Lu Bai was so close their bodies were nearly touching. Lu Bai was leaning down to him a bit which meant they were now face to face looking into each other's eyes. He started losing himself in those eyes. Lu Bai's eyes were not unique in anyway, he had black eyes which were very common but when he looked at you, they were mesmerising. Maybe it's due because of the whole celestial aura thing. Lu Bai's features individually were not unique but when put together they created a master piece, which was how when he saved me from the near car crash when we met, I stayed in his embrace until people started whispering about us. He was handsome and taller than me, I only could only reach his neck when standing next to each other. Perhaps what made him so captivating was his grace and gentleness, combined with his good looks which were further heightened by his celestial aura, he was simply gorgeous.

Not to put myself down but I wasn't near as good looking as him nor did I possess any of his sensibilities as a gentleman. It's true that I could not hold a candle to him in the looks department plus I had self-esteem issues, I do however have traits that work in my favour. Being with him was building my confidence, well I guess being with someone like him who had everything but still looked and treated you as his greatest treasure could boost anyone's confidence, I guess.

Feeling another flicker on my forehead I came back from whatever trance I had fallen into. Those eyes are dangerous and he's not even doing anything. Feeling a little angry at myself for still falling for those eyes even after all this time I made to move away from the circle of his arms.

"Shen Yan needs to take responsibility, it's his child too."

Slightly frowning, "How did you know it was Shen Yan's?"

Xiao Mo turned around and gave him a look, "Seriously? With ge's prickly no-nonsense personality, the fact that he doesn't like people and stays away from them and that his only friends can be counted on one hand, it's not exactly rocket science to figure out who is responsible. Besides, Shen Yan loved ge from the moment he set eyes on him, pursued him for a very long time and they live well... lived together, even an idiot can put two and two together in this situation."

Xiao Mo indicated break time was over and it's time to go down, "Let's go, we don't want to be late for the next class. The lecturer is covering an important concept today." Lu Bai joined Xiao Mo and they both made their way down side by side.

"From what I've observed, I don't think ge wants Shen Yan to know. I also want to interfere, but it isn't exactly my place to do so, this is their problem. I just want to support ge as much as possible with this whole thing, but he's not willing to share so I'm guessing he already has his own plans."

"I think you may be right, with ge's personality he probably already knows what he wants to do. Shen Yan that idiot! I want to blame him and yet at the same time I can't help but understand where he's coming from with this whole thing. One is family while the other is a close friend. What a headache inducing situation!"

Lu Bai reached out his hand and held Xiao Mo's while they make their way downstairs. He could feel the frustration coming from the other male. He felt it too.

"We can only help when both ask for it, until then, let's just be supportive. We need to stick together for this upcoming war. Contention between us will give the enemy an advantage. Lu Cang takes pleasure in using our loved ones to hurt us, he sadistically understands that there's no greater pain than the one inflicted by a loved one. You, jie and Shen Yan are very dear to my brother and I. He still has not discovered Shen Yan's importance to us but it's only a matter of time, so we need to stick closer to each other."

"You're right, let's forget it. We'll do as you say. When they come to us for help then we will help."

Hand in hand they continued making their way downstairs in silence as they thought of this muddy situation that's making them feel helpless and that's getting even more complicated.
