Evil Love Appears chapter 75
Xu Jiale held onto Fu Xiaoyu, feeling like he was holding a little cat in his arms.
He fell silent for a while, then lowered his head and kissed his forehead gently. “Actually… I never thought about it, and that’s perfectly fine.”
Fu Xiaoyu raised his head, seeming a bit puzzled.
“It’s not about being serious or not,” Xu Jiale’s voice sounded a bit dry. He was usually good at communication, but on this topic, he adopted a cautious, tiptoeing approach.
Back when I was in college, a professor once asked us to imagine a concept of a vacuum society, a world with no family values, no economic pressure, no moral burdens, no social responsibilities. If everyone were like a water source, what choices would an Omega make in terms of love and marriage? Would they form families? Would they reproduce?
“Xiaoyu, I’m not an Omega, but I’ve always wondered how a person would choose in a vacuum society—perhaps only then they can truly express their individual will,” he continued.
Fu Xiaoyu didn’t respond immediately. He was a person deeply rooted in practicality, to the point that hypotheticals were somewhat challenging for him.
“But we don’t live in such a world,” he eventually replied.
Xu Jiale affirmed, “That’s right.”
Fu Xiaoyu’s straightforwardness made Xu Jiale smile slightly, and he continued, his voice wavering a bit, “I once thought that, with my background and knowledge, I could create an environment close to a vacuum society, where Jin Chu could make a truly personal choice about reproduction, unaffected by external pressures. But…”
“But how could that be possible?” Fu Xiaoyu asked. “People can’t live in a vacuum. If you create a vacuum for Jin Chu, then you become his environment, his society. Whether you like children or not will directly influence his choice, right?”
Xu Jiale was silent for a moment, and his silence wasn’t about gathering his thoughts, but rather about summoning the courage to continue. “Xiaoyu, I want you to date me.”
These words seemed unrelated to the previous conversation.
But when Fu Xiaoyu looked into his eyes, they suddenly sparkled.
Xu Jiale’s hand gently and slowly stroked Fu Xiaoyu’s flat belly, which was closely pressed against him. “Xiaoyu, I want you to date me deeply. Until one day, this issue is no longer a problem because you won’t have to care about whether or not you want children. Reproduction should be your choice, not your obligation.”
His words were tinged with a touch of scholarly language, almost by habit. But this time, it would likely irritate the strict “President Fu.”
However, Fu Xiaoyu suddenly pounced on him, tightly wrapping his arms around Xu Jiale’s neck. “Xu Jiale, you have to believe that I love you very much. I’m serious about you.”
“I believe you,” Xu Jiale replied, patting Fu Xiaoyu’s back. “Fu Xiaoyu, you’ve pursued me… I have a strong sense of security from you.”
He had never said such a sentence to any other Omega before; he had only said it to Fu Xiaoyu. As a result, he suddenly felt an odd, dizzying sense of happiness.
Xu Jiale paused and nibbled on Fu Xiaoyu’s earlobe. “It’s past midnight. Should we sleep?”
“Yes,” Fu Xiaoyu had no intention of moving and remained hanging around Xu Jiale’s neck.
“Fu Xiaoyu, I’m feeling hot.”
“Uh-huh.”
Xu Jiale had no choice but to lift the corner of the blanket and let his legs dangle out for some cooler air from the air conditioner.
“Xu Jiale,” at this moment, when he thought Fu Xiaoyu was already asleep, Fu Xiaoyu suddenly said with his eyes closed, “I asked someone to buy you a pair of diamond earrings from Italy. They should arrive in a few days, and you can wear them then.”
“Oh?” Xu Jiale raised an eyebrow. He wanted to pull Fu Xiaoyu’s face out to examine it closely, but Fu Xiaoyu had buried his face in Xu Jiale’s shoulder, refusing to come out.
“Xiaoyu, I’ve noticed how good you are to me,” if he had a tail, he probably would have been wagging it in the air, “But what should I give you in return?”
“No need,” Fu Xiaoyu muffledly said, with his face still buried. “You’ve already… given yourself to me.”
Xu Jiale couldn’t help but chuckle at this corny line. “Indeed, the extremely precious Xu Jiale has been given to you, and you’re not at a loss.”
“Let’s sleep,” Fu Xiaoyu finally gave the last instruction. “It’s past midnight.”
…
Fu Xiaoyu and Xu Jiale waited for more than ten days before they found the opportunity to have dinner with Han Jiangque and Wen Ke.
When Wen Ke was discharged from the hospital, they had brought some diapers and children’s books for Han Xue and Wen Nian. However, at that time, Wen Ke was too exhausted, and they hadn’t had the energy to sit down and have a proper conversation.
So they waited for another week before Xu Jiale called Wen Ke again to arrange for dinner. He was on speakerphone, typing messages while speaking. “After work, Xiaoyu and I will come to H City to meet you two. I’ve made a reservation at a Cantonese restaurant, so we don’t have to eat at Han’s place, it might feel uncomfortable. Hello?”
“Yes, having dinner together is not a problem, but…” Wen Ke’s voice came from the other side, so soft that it sounded somewhat strange. It was as if he took a couple of steps while talking, his voice barely audible. “Xu Jiale… Han Jiangque is extremely upset. He found out about you and Fu Xiaoyu being together, and he’s almost gone mad with anger. I was just trying to calm him down.”
“What? How did Han Jiangque find out?” Xu Jiale was surprised. “Did you tell him?”
Fu Xiaoyu widened his eyes, even though he had planned to find the right time to clarify his relationship with Xu Jiale, this sudden revelation surprised him.
“How could I have told him?” Wen Ke’s voice was still gentle, but there was a hint of exasperation. “While it’s true I had a hunch, it wasn’t me who spilled the beans.”
“Then who did?”
“It was Han Jiangque’s older brother,” Wen Ke said. “During lunch this morning when everyone was together, his big brother happened to come back. During our conversation, he casually asked me ‘Hey, Wen Ke, is Fu Xiaoyu dating your Alpha friend?’ Han Jiangque was furious and said, ‘How is that possible?’ And his big brother replied, ‘Why not? I even saw them holding hands affectionately outside the delivery room the other day.'”
The cat’s out of the bag!
