Chapter 21 - Admitted
Jiang Mian has never interlocked his hands with anyone in his life, the fingers were mutually close to his palm. He slowly clasps it back, wanting to hold tighter but hesitating and not daring to use too much strength. The two hands were still mid air, not moving.
The wind blowing across the lake was cold and humid, blowing over the temperature of Jiang Mian’s face, even the wind became a little warmer.
No one spoke, eyes still facing forward, Jiang Mian’s heartbeat gradually stabilised. The lake sparkled under the setting sun, staring for a long time made one’s eyes dizzy.
There were old men fishing in the distance and Jiang Mian suddenly asked: “Will there be fish in this lake?”
Gong Xun Zhong gave an ‘en’: “Have ba.”
It was only after a while that Jiang Mian realised he had said something nonsensical, who would come here to fish if there were no fishes. He turned his head, pursed his lips and snickered, Gong Xun Zhong glanced at him and hooked the corners of his mouth.
Before the sun completely disappeared into the horizon, Gong Xun Zhong drove Jiang Mian to settle down in the guesthouse. The nearby guesthouse is not as high-end and luxurious as a star rated hotel, a small house with only three or four floors, but it was very popular, by the time they arrived, only a large bedroom was left.
Gong Xun Zhong and Jiang Mian were caught in a subtle awkwardness, the receptionist looked at their clasped hands with some confusion: “You two aren’t a couple?”
“No, we are, thanks.”
Jiang Mian suddenly looked at him, his lips moved without retorting, and as Gong Xun Zhong took the room card and led him upstairs, he was still wondering what Gong Xun Zhong meant when he said they were a couple.
The room was not big, after a bed and a wardrobe, there was not much space, but the bed was wide enough. Jiang Mian sat on the edge of the bed and surveyed the environment, Gong Xun Zhong had already found slippers and placed them in front of Jiang Mian, squatting down to change his shoes.
Jiang Mian was taken aback when Gong Xun Zhong held his ankle not accepting refusal and took off his shoes and socks: “You’ve been walking all day, does your legs hurt, I’ll give you a massage later?”
There were only the two of them in the narrow, closed room and Jiang Mian pressed his hand against the bed with force, inexplicably a little nervous.
“Don’t you mind that my feet stink.”
His toes opened up like a flower and Gong Xun Zhong gently patted them to put on his slippers: “It doesn’t stink.”
Love makes people blind, Jiang Mian thought, and even Gong Xun Zhong could not escape.
The blind Gong Xun Zhong was washing his socks in the bathroom and Jiang Mian dragged a pillow over to lie down, so the two of them would have to sleep in the same bed tonight.
Although nothing can happen between them with his current state, Jiang Mian has never slept with any Alpha, even on that night, he did it and left after he was done.
Jiang Mian laid down and watched Gong Xun Zhong walking around, their eyes occasionally met and separated. Jiang Mian felt sleepy when he was lying down. When Gong Xun Zhong came out of the shower, Jiang Mian was dazed with sleep.
Gong Xun Zhong shook his shoulders: “Mian Mian, get up and take a shower, go back to sleep after showering.”
Jiang Mian frowned and didn’t open his eyes, muttering in a dumb voice: “What did you call me?”
“……Mian Mian.”
He seemed to have fallen asleep again, Gong Xun Zhong did not call him again, wetting a towel to wipe his face and feet, Jiang Mian suddenly called him again: “Gong Xun Zhong.”
“En.”
“Let me tell you a secret.”
Gong Xun Zhong’s hands didn’t stop moving, but he already had a premonition: “Okay, I’ll definitely keep it a secret for you.”
One of Jiang Mian’s hands gripped the sheets: “The cub in my belly, his Alpha father, you definitely can’t guess who it is.”
Gong Xun Zhong cooperated with his question: “Who is it?”
“It’s Gong Xun Zhong.”
To say it out was actually quite simple. The moment Jiang Mian said it, he felt incredibly relieved, floating like he had a dream of flying up to the sky, but Gong Xun Zhong didn’t answer and he floated back again.
Why he didn’t say anything, whether he didn’t believe or was he angry, Jiang Mian couldn’t guess.
He listened to Gong Xun Zhong’s footsteps as he entered the bathroom, the tap rinsing his hands, then he walked back in, the bed sinking and shaking slightly, Jiang Mian’s hand was gently pried open by Gong Xun Zhong, his voice ringing out overhead: “I know.”
It was indeed a big secret that Jiang Mian had been hiding, carrying the pressure from everyone for six months, as heavy as his belly.
“And that night, the Omega you were looking for, it was also me. I was the one who secretly slept with you and ran away, but I didn’t expect to get pregnant, I didn’t even enter the birth**, I don’t know how I got pregnant, then I couldn’t bear to let it go, I also didn’t want you to know, so I ran away, and surprisingly I couldn’t escape, maybe this is fate.”
Jiang Mian took a long breath of relief: “There is one thing to say, it’s also to get pregnant like this, you are also quite good, you just live too rottenly.”
He giggled to himself, but Gong Xun Zhong didn’t laugh and gently pressed his back: “Jiang Mian, don’t cry.”
