Strawberry Pop Pop Pop chapter 31

Due to Han Yang’s recent hectic work schedule, Lao Liang was worried he might be overworked, so he personally approved a two-day leave for Han Yang. He also promised that from now on, he would grant Han Yang two days off every two months.

That’s why Han Yang agreed to Xia Fei’s invitation to “have a drink.” Who could have expected that he would be tipsy after just a few drinks? That night, he slept very comfortably and even dreamt of a particularly sweet and tender Gu Nuan. In his dream, he touched Gu Nuan’s cheek.

This made Han Yang reluctant to wake up.

However, when he did wake up and found Gu Nuan sleeping in his embrace, he was utterly confused.

Could it be that he was still in a dream?

But just as he was thinking this, Gu Nuan in his arms made a soft “mm” sound and hugged him even tighter. Not only that, one of Gu Nuan’s feet was inserted between Han Yang’s legs. His sleeping position wasn’t particularly good or bad, but it was undeniably intimate.

Han Yang hesitated for a moment, then got up and lifted the blanket.

Gu Nuan woke up because of the cold and instinctively rubbed his eyes as he crawled onto Han Yang, saying, “I’m cold…”

“Gu Nuan!”

Half an hour later, Gu Nuan sat on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, while Han Yang was packing up the mattress and blanket from the floor.

Gu Nuan called softly, “Brother…”

Han Yang wore a stern expression and didn’t respond to Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan pointed to the mattress and blanket in his hand, saying, “I started sleeping on the floor, but I don’t know how I ended up in your bed! It’s really strange, isn’t it?”

Gu Nuan had a habit of crawling into bed covers since he was a child, and it was hard to change. When they were younger, Han Yang used to indulge him, but as they got a bit older, Han Yang didn’t allow him to do it anymore. After all, they were an Alpha and an Omega without any blood relation, and it wouldn’t be appropriate if they did something wrong due to pheromones.

Because of this, Han Yang had always been very cautious.

This time, when Gu Nuan crawled into his bed, he had violated Han Yang’s major taboo.

Gu Nuan knew that Han Yang would be angry and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry.”

Han Yang remained silent.

Gu Nuan tugged at his clothes, saying, “It wasn’t intentional; the floor was too cold. I don’t know how I ended up on your bed.”

Han Yang packed up without saying a word and noticed the takeout containers on the table.

Since the weather was cold, Gu Nuan’s packed food was fine to eat overnight. He could just microwave it to warm it up. Gu Nuan saw Han Yang’s gaze on the food and hurriedly said, “This is the food I bought for you yesterday. The fried chicken might not be as good, but the shrimp dumplings are delicious. I’ll heat them up for you.”

Gu Nuan was about to get out of bed.

“Stay seated.”

“Okay.” Gu Nuan was obedient; he had always listened to Han Yang since he was a child.

“I’ll prepare breakfast.” Han Yang checked the time; it was already past ten, so it couldn’t really be considered breakfast.

Seeing that Gu Nuan wasn’t wearing a jacket, he turned on the space heater before heading to the kitchen to reheat the food. He also made some congee and fried two eggs, placing everything on the table.

Gu Nuan sat down, lowered his head, and began to eat the congee that Han Yang had served him. He used his toes to gently tap Han Yang’s leg.

Han Yang ate a shrimp dumpling and said, “You’re not allowed to do this again next time.”

Gu Nuan felt wronged; this had happened before, and because of this issue, Han Yang would ignore him for a whole day when he got angry.

Han Yang picked up an egg and placed it in Gu Nuan’s bowl. “Even though you don’t have pheromones, you’ve grown up, and you can’t sleep in the same bed as me.”

Gu Nuan’s ears had become calloused from hearing this phrase so often.

Gu Nuan changed the topic, “Brother, don’t you have work today?”

Han Yang agreed to the change in topic, “I have a couple of days off.”

These days coincided with the days when Gu Nuan had to go to the hospital. Han Yang had deliberately taken leave and adjusted his schedule according to that.

Gu Nuan’s eyes lit up, “That’s great; I don’t have many classes these two days.”

Han Yang responded, “Hmm.”

Gu Nuan scratched his head, “Do you have any plans?”

“No, I plan to rest at home.”

Reading, sleeping, exercising.

Han Yang was an Alpha with a mundane life.

Gu Nuan brightened up, “That’s good, that’s good.” He happily scooped a shrimp dumpling into Han Yang’s bowl, and the plate of shrimp dumplings was quickly emptied.

“Are the shrimp dumplings delicious?”

“They’re really good.”

“Do you like them?”

“Yes.”

Han Yang didn’t dislike anything that Gu Nuan had bought.

“All the shrimp dumplings at this shop are freshly made on the same day, and the shrimp is also fresh on the same day. Once they’re sold out, they’re gone.” Gu Nuan enthusiastically praised the shrimp dumplings, laying the foundation for himself on the path of delivering shrimp dumplings. “Dad also likes them, so he immediately got a membership card. I use his membership card, so I don’t have to wait in line to buy this. If you like them, should I come to bring you shrimp dumplings these next two days?”

“No need.”

“Just give it a try.”

Han Yang didn’t want to refuse Gu Nuan, but he also felt that he had to refuse him. “It’s too troublesome.”

“It’s not troublesome at all. This shop isn’t far from the dormitory. Plus, I like them too.” No matter what rope Han Yang threw, Gu Nuan could always tie it around his waist and climb up.

Su Li had said to him that when pursuing someone, you had to be shameless, just like Senior Yu Yi who was pursuing him. The living example was right in front of him, and he wouldn’t miss out on learning.

Han Yang had no choice. He couldn’t argue with Gu Nuan.

“Brother, can I borrow your charger?” Gu Nuan suddenly realized that his phone was out of battery.

Han Yang took a bite of a shrimp dumpling. “It’s on the bedside table.”

Gu Nuan rushed to charge his phone without putting on his shoes, so Han Yang handed him a pair of slippers. Gu Nuan glanced at the working air conditioner and then at the socks on his feet. “I’m not cold.”

“Rented apartments don’t have underfloor heating.” Han Yang insisted that he put on the slippers.

Gu Nuan obediently put them on and found that the slippers fit well. They weren’t the size an Alpha living alone would buy.

These slippers were obviously a pair that Han Yang couldn’t fit into.

Gu Nuan was excited in his heart: My brother must be hoping for me to come over often! He even prepared slippers in such a small size!

Thinking back to Xia Fei’s words last night, Gu Nuan’s heart was pounding like a deer. “Did you prepare slippers in such a small size? These slippers are really cute.”

“Uncle Ji bought them when he visited before.”

“…”

“What’s wrong?”

Gu Nuan cleared his throat. “Nothing.”

They hadn’t finished their breakfast when a call from Ji Mu came.

“Xiao Nuan, your father and I are heading to Country W to see your grandfather. We’re already at the airport.”

“What happened to Grandpa?” Gu Nuan became worried, and even Han Yang, who was beside him, stopped what he was doing.

“It’s nothing serious, just a little fall while gardening in the backyard. He’ll be discharged from the hospital later today.” Ji Mu said, “He didn’t want us to come, but your father and I are worried, so we want to go see him as soon as possible.”

Gu Nuan was still worried and wanted to go with them.

But Ji Mu said, “Don’t forget that you have a follow-up appointment tomorrow; this can’t be delayed. Your grandfather has us there.”

Moreover, Gu Nuan’s grandfather had already returned home from the hospital. However, due to his age, he was delighted when his children and grandchildren showed concern by coming to visit.

Before hanging up, Ji Mu mentioned, “Tomorrow, I’ll have Aunt Xu accompany you to the hospital.”

Gu Nuan grumbled, “Aunt Xu doesn’t understand these things. Her presence won’t be of much help. I can go by myself.”

“You can’t go for injections alone; I’m worried.” Ji Mu had already talked to Aunt Xu about it.

Gu Nuan had experienced Han Yang’s soothing pheromones last time and was still savoring it. He couldn’t argue with Ji Mu, so he said, “Then I’ll ask my brother to accompany me; he has a few days off these days.” With that, Gu Nuan smiled and looked at Han Yang, forming the word “okay” with his mouth. Is that alright?

Of course, Han Yang agreed.

On the other end of the phone, Ji Mu paused and then said, “Xiao Nuan.”

“Hmm?”

“Han Yang finally has a few days off; give him some peace.” Ji Mu didn’t know that Gu Nuan was currently with Han Yang, but he hesitated after speaking, unsure of how to continue.

Gu Nuan didn’t quite understand.

Ji Mu continued, “Han Yang is already twenty-two years old. There are probably many Omega or Beta who like him around him. If you keep bothering him, he won’t have time for a relationship. You’ve both grown up, not children anymore, and you need your own space.” He deliberately brought up the topic of Han Yang dating, secretly giving Gu Nuan some caution.

He was worried that Gu Nuan would become completely absorbed in it and couldn’t extricate himself.

Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, Gu Nuan’s heart tightened. So, he was thinking about dating someone else?

That made it even more important not to let Han Yang be idle.

Gu Nuan hung up the phone, lowered his head to gather his emotions.

Anxiously, Han Yang asked, “Is something wrong with grandfather?” He walked over and, without waiting for Gu Nuan to speak, said, “Don’t worry, when we come back from the hospital tomorrow, I’ll book a flight to Country W to see him right away.”

Gu Nuan raised his head and grabbed Han Yang’s clothes, wiping his eyes with no tears in them. “Grandpa is fine; it’s me who is not doing good.”

“?”

Gu Nuan’s acting was so poor that it was bewildering.

He sniffled. “You finally have a few days off, and I’m still making you accompany me to the hospital. Am I being too inconsiderate?”

Han Yang chuckled. It turned out Gu Nuan was worried about this.

“Going to the hospital won’t take much time, and it won’t affect my rest.”

Moreover, he couldn’t let Gu Nuan go to the hospital alone. Even if Gu Nuan didn’t want him to accompany him, he would insist on going to that extent.

Gu Nuan took the opportunity to act. He turned and was about to fall into Han Yang’s arms. “Brother, you’re the best!”

But before he succeeded, Han Yang “lifted” him back to his seat. “Your breakfast is getting cold; eat quickly. After you finish, I’ll take you back to school.”

“Okay.”

His emotions were withdrawn in an instant.

The ruthless Han Yang, the cold-blooded Alpha.
