CH 32

He suddenly froze, holding the syringe as he stood in front of the mirror blankly.

In the past three years, the number of times he slept with Yan Yi could be counted on one’s fingers. During his heats…did he rely on inhibitors and struggled to hold on?

He had never thought about it.

In that quick moment, he recalled the needle holes on Yan Yi’s forearm, the old and new needle holes covering one another. Because of the long-term injections, there were pale blue lumps under the skin of his forearm.

Lu Shangjin gripped the syringe in his hand, gathered up all the inhibitors with carrot sticky notes together and put them back into the bedroom drawer. 

He sat on the bed, his back hunched over like a shrimp as he held his head and scratched his scalp forcibly. 

Did he go too far with his manner towards Yan Yi just now?

Right, it must be because he’s in a rut, he couldn’t get rid of the irritability of his rut and couldn’t control it.

Yan Yi waited for him to hang up the phone. After going back to the lobby, he sat on the high stool and rubbed his temples, “Hurry and say whatever you want to say.”

Xia Jingtian held the cup of mint tea that kept his palms warm, “Do you know that rabbits can have false pregnancies?” 

“False pregnancies?” Yan Yi was stunned.

He didn’t expect that this kid would suddenly talk about this.

“That is, if a rabbit omega is unconsciously touched on the back, there is a probability of false pregnancy. The symptom is a small abdominal bulge within three days, and according to what you told me, three days before you got pregnant, it was the day I went to the hospital to see you.” Xia Jingtian braced himself as he explained, “I really didn’t mean it. I saw that you were in pain, I didn’t know rabbits would have false pregnancies.” 

Yan Yi’s eyes widened, the phone in his hand slipped and fell to the floor with a bang. 

“But, the baby is clearly moving…” Yan Yi covered his stomach with both hands, as if he was afraid that the child would be taken away. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xia Jingtian blankly. 

Xia Jingtian was unable to say a word from Yan Yi’s questioning eyes that were on the verge of collapse. 

“…” Yan Yi jumped off the high stool and turned around to head upstairs. 

“Go for a checkup at the hospital tomorrow. A rabbit’s false pregnancy is very very harmful to the body. If you don’t believe me, go for a checkup okay? Just treat it as a routine physical examination.” XIa Jingtian chased after him, but was stopped by Yan Yi’s alienated gaze when he turned back. 

“You drove for so long, you should rest early. Don’t bother me, I’ll go to the hospital by myself if I want to.”

Yan Yi closed the bedroom door gently and stood against it for a while. 

Feeling that his body had suddenly lost its strength, he slowly slid down against the door and sat on the ground, burying his head in his arms. 

“I clearly did it with Jin ge that day…” Yan Yi’s light grey eyes gradually lost their light, yet holding on to a glimmer of hope to recall carefully. 

Recalling that rough intercourse they had at the dining room, his vision increasingly blurred. 

He bit his lips firmly, biting out a ring of blood marks, and caressed the slight bulge of his tummy. 

“False pregnancy?” Yan Yi buried his head in his arms and silently fell into a daze.

Meanwhile, a slender alpha spider was lying on his back on the brick roof of Ruins bar. With his legs crossed, he was browsing an encrypted file on his phone, and an indistinct photo of Yan Yi was on the upper right corner. 

Shao Wenjing pillowed his hands as he stared at the screen leisurely. His finger scrolled downward, and at the bottom of the document was a section regarding the introduction of the lop-eared rabbit’s A3 glands and its black market value. 

“Look at what good news I’ve overheard.” Shao Wenjing lifted the corner of his lips, a hint of evil in the corner of his peach blossom eyes. 

“Surprisingly, it’s a false pregnancy, poor little bunny, tsk.”
