C126 — Kill That Big Star(24)
by UntamedSThere was only one big bed in this house.
Shao Ge looked at the bed and said, “I’ll go sleep on the sofa.”
Although they had shared a bed before, after all, they hadn’t seen each other in months, and hadn’t shared a bed in over six months.
Shen Jue had just come back, and he thought maybe it would be better to give some space.
But before he could go to the wardrobe to grab the quilt, he heard the person in the bed say, “If you don’t mind me getting up to go to the toilet easily at night, let’s sleep together.”
Shao Ge’s footsteps stopped, he was silent for half a second before he responded, “I don’t mind, remember to call me when you get up at night, the lamp is at the door, the room is very dark at night and it’ll be easy to fall.”
The two of them slept in the same bed that night, Shen Jue was indeed not sleeping very soundly at night now, he woke up easily, and although Shao Ge wasn’t as alert as Ji Yao, he also woke up when Shen Jue sat up.
“Want to go to the bathroom?” There was still some sleepiness in Shao Ge’s voice, he lifted the covers and got out of bed first, walking in the dark to the door and switching on the light before going round to Shen Jue’s side, “I’ll lead you there.”
He took Shen Jue’s hand.
The feel of the two hands pressed together made Shen Jue freeze for a moment.
Shao Ge sent Shen Jue into the bathroom, then stood outside the door waiting for him to come out before he led him back to their room.
After he brought him back to his room, he made another trip to the kitchen, and when he returned, he had an extra cup of warm water in his hand.
“I’ll go buy a thermos cup tomorrow, so you can drink warm water anytime, anywhere.” Shao Ge said.
Shen Jue took the cup of water and took a big sip. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. How did the other party know that he was thirsty now?
Only after Shen Jue finished drinking the water did the two of them fall back to sleep.
Shao Ge checked on him sleepily, and when he realised that Shen Jue was already asleep, he couldn’t help but smile.
……
Shen Jue stayed here with Shao Ge like this. Shao Ge had to go out during the day, so he left a room card for Shen Jue but told him to be careful and not to open the door if a stranger knocked.
“I’ll take care of Ji Yao’s business as quickly as possible; don’t worry.” Shao Ge said.
Hearing this, Shen Jue couldn’t help but ask, “How are you going to handle it?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Shao Ge avoided the question.
But Ji Yao disappeared, he must have disappeared in the base.
Shao Ge went to the residence of Ji Yao yesterday to look for him, but he didn’t find anyone, and after a few days, Shao Ge saw that a new person moved into that residence.
“Is it hard to believe that he left?” Shao Ge frowned and urged Shen Jue again, “But it’s better to be careful.”
Because he was worried, when Shen Jue wanted to go out, Shao Ge would always accompany him and would also bring a bottle of thermos with him so that Shen Jue could drink water.
As time went on, people who knew Shao Ge noticed Shen Jue and then further noticed Shen Jue’s stomach. Some of them also recognised Shen Jue as Shao Ge’s teammate.
One day, a cute-looking girl suddenly rushed up to the two of them, her voice stuttering, “Excuse me, Shao Ge, are you with Shen Jue? Is that your child in his belly?”
This was actually a very offensive question, as Shao Ge and Shen Jue didn’t have to answer her question, but Shao Ge did.
“Yes.”
The girl sucked in a breath, then actually bounced in place a few times. “Oh my god, I actually got a real CP; back then they all said I was a cultist, that you two were the most mismatched, hahaha.”
The girl laughed heartily and walked away, leaving behind a bewildered Shen Jue and a somewhat stifled Shao Ge.
“A cult?” Shen Jue looked to Shao Ge and asked, “Are there still cults now?”
In his impression, there shouldn’t be cults in this realm.
Shao Ge couldn’t help but let out a laugh, patiently explaining to Shen Jue, “This cult isn’t the one described in martial arts novels; it generally refers to the two people who are least likely to be together being paired up.”
“Oh.” Shen Jue frowned. “Why do you know that and I don’t?”
When he was in heaven, Shen Jue was often praised for his erudition, but he didn’t expect that when he arrived in the realm, he would have knowledge that he didn’t know, and the person next to him still knew it.
“Well, maybe I was too close to fan life.” Shao Ge could only explain it this way.
But Shen Jue didn’t understand even more and then got angry.
Shao Ge: “……”
……
It got closer and closer to the day of the birth; during this time, it was as if Ji Yao had disappeared. Shao Ge tried to look for him, but there were no clues.
He didn’t have a photo of Ji Yao in his hand, and the base of M City was very large; if Ji Yao really wanted to hide, he couldn’t find him.
Little by little, time passed just like this. Shen Jue’s belly was getting bigger and bigger. Shao Ge sometimes just put his hand on Shen Jue’s belly, and he’d immediately feel a strong and powerful kick.
Shao Ge would usually let out an oh of surprise and then say, “The baby is so lively, it looks like it could go on to play women’s volleyball in the future.”
Shen Jue: “……”
After all, Shen Jue was a man, and men were born with narrower pelvises than women, so he had to have a caesarean section.
There was no warning on the day of birth. Shen Jue was just sitting at the table eating a poached egg when he felt his stomach start to ache—a burst of pain—a familiar pain that made him react instantly.
He was going into labour.
So Shen Jue reached out and grabbed Shao Ge, who was still shelling the egg, and said calmly, “Take me to the hospital.”
Shao Ge froze for a moment, his eyes blinking before he reacted. He quickly put down the egg in his hand, and as soon as he picked up Shen Jue, he rushed outside.
Their place wasn’t too far from the hospital, a five-minute drive away.
Shao Ge sent Shen Jue all the way to the maternity ward before leaning against the wall with a big sigh of relief. Just now the lift was congested, so he carried him straight up the stairs. Now he was both tired and feeling nervous.
He’d never been so nervous, not even during his first stage appearance.
Before he went on stage for the first time, his manager told them that this was one of the biggest things in life because this stage would change their lives.
But Shao Ge suddenly felt that this moment right now was the biggest thing in his life; he was about to turn from an ordinary man into a father, and someone with the same blo-od as him was about to be born into the world.
Before this, Shao Ge had never realised that this child was so important, and it wasn’t until this moment that he realised what Shen Jue had brought to him.
A new life, a new life with the same blood that flowed through him.
Through his choice, Shen Jue had brought this child to him.
Shao Ge couldn’t go in, but just stood outside the operating theatre looking at a sign that said ‘In Surgery’. He let out a few long breaths before walking over to the bench and sitting down. Time passed bit by bit, and he only felt more and more nervous.
Suddenly, the surgery door opened.
Shao Ge immediately stood up, but the medical staff who came out had a serious expression, “Mr Shao, the patient’s condition isn’t particularly good, the bleeding is a bit severe, we are now trying our best to keep both the father and son safe, but there is a possibility that we won’t be able to do so, so we want you to be prepared for certain outcomes.”
Shao Ge was stunned for a while before he said, “Are you saying that his life might be in danger?”
The paramedic nodded, “Compared to a woman giving birth, a man giving birth is overly dangerous, although a man’s body is a bit stronger, other aspects of the conditions are not as good as a woman; our paramedics originally delivered women’s babies, and we haven’t delivered men’s babies more than 20 times, so our experience is limited, so please be more understanding.”
Shao Ge’s expression became much more grave, “I can understand, please make sure you do your best, no matter what, you must keep the adult.”
After waiting for the paramedics to go in, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in Shao Ge’s heart.
As for Shen Jue on the operating table, he was actually quite calm, he just still felt ashamed, even after several experiences, when lying on the operating table again, watching with his eyes open as several people moved against his stomach, he still felt ashamed.
He was only semi-anesthetised, so his brain was very clear and he could hear the medical staff’s conversations.
In his previous lives, he had the same severe bleeding when he gave birth and had a blo-od transfusion later, but it all worked out, so he wasn’t nervous this time.
“Has the blo-od bag not been delivered yet?” He heard one of the doctors say, in a somewhat anxious tone, “What’s the haematology department up to?”
“I’ll get it, never mind.” One man said back.
It just didn’t take long for the one who had left to come back, “Here it is, here it is, the blo-od bag is here. Change the saline and get on the blo-od bag.”
Shen Jue couldn’t move his body much, but he could turn his head, so he turned his head slightly to look at the blo-od bag above his right side, but caught a glimpse of a familiar pair of fox-like eyes.
The man was wearing a green sterile mask, and his body was wrapped tightly in a sterile gown, the only thing exposed were those foxy eyes.
Shen Jue had spent months with the owner of those eyes and couldn’t be mistaken.
It was Ji Yao.
Why was he here?
The man seemed to see the surprise in Shen Jue’s eyes, and even curved his fox-like eyes before turning to the person who’d spoken earlier and saying, “The blo-od bag has been changed.”
Shen Jue heard the voice and was already completely sure that this person was Ji Yao’s, and although he didn’t know how Ji Yao had managed to blend into the operating theatre, he couldn’t let Ji Yao stay here.
“Doctor!” Shen Jue shouted with some anxiety, “Let this person leave!”
The lead surgeon heard this and froze for a moment before looking at this fellow haematologist, “I’m sorry, he seems to be a bit shy and doesn’t want so many people watching here, why don’t you go back first.”
Surprisingly, Ji Yao obediently exited the operating theatre.
But Shen Jue had already been shocked by Ji Yao’s sudden appearance, and the operation took three hours to complete. Shen Jue was relieved when he heard the baby’s cries, and then the midwife carried the baby next to Shen Jue, “Give him a kiss daddy, it’s the little one’s first time in the human world.”
Shen Jue turned his head slightly sideways, and saw the wrinkled red monkey-looking baby next to him, who was wailing and crying, and couldn’t even open his eyes yet.
He remembered why he’d nicknamed this child Silence in previous lifetimes, it was because the child had been so noisy when it was first born, crying and crying and crying, so much so that his ears hurt.
“Is it a girl?” Shen Jue said softly.
The midwife shook her head, “It’s a little handsome boy.”
It seemed to be the same extra noisy little cub.
Even though the pregnancy was different, it was still him that he gave birth to.
The baby was carried out before Shen Jue, who still had to do the surgery and stitching on his side, then he was wheeled to the waking area to wait for the anaesthesia to wear off before he could be wheeled downstairs to the ward.
There was only one nurse on guard in the waking area, and after just a moment, she was called away.
Shen Jue was lying on the hospital bed, physically and mentally exhausted, but he suddenly heard footsteps. He was clearly exhausted to the core, but the footsteps were clearly audible, step after step, getting closer and closer.
The man walked over to the hospital bed and reached out to touch Shen Jue’s face, “It’s been a tough day, dear.”
Omg omg !! I became a aunt !! Must protect my nephew!! Jue jue , how dare you call him noisy 😾 .
And it’s so surprising that a fujoshi survived in a post apocalyptic world 🤣 . ( Guess then we’ll survive too)
