A Gorgeous Man Takes His Son to the City to Work 57

Chapter 57

Bai Qingyu showered quickly. They were standing under the tea tree earlier when He Renyuan asked him if he wanted to transform, but Bai Qingyu didn’t.

Most of the blood was on his clothes, some seeped into the soil. Bai Qingyu dug a hole and buried the bloodstained soil.

He went upstairs to He Renyuan’s room and tried the doorknob, it was locked.

Bai Qingyu frowned. This was strange.

The person inside heard the noise and hurried to open the door.

He Renyuan was dressed impeccably in a smoky gray shirt and had even sprayed some perfume.

Bai Qingyu, “Why did you lock the door? You didn’t lock it before when you called me a bully housekeeper.”

Bully housekeeper… he had actually called his wife that? He Renyuan’s face was filled with shame, “This moment is significant, I wanted to be presentable when I saw you again.”

Bai Qingyu glanced at his styled hair, his earlobes heating up. He was looking at He Renyuan differently now.

He noticed He Renyuan’s fingers, muscles, and hair, not just his face and mouth.

Bai Qingyu believed him and picked up the clothes He Renyuan had left on the floor.

So much blood, he couldn’t wash it clean himself, and throwing it in the trash might lead to a police report.

He Renyuan was about to say “I’ll wash it myself” when he saw Bai Qingyu raise his hands, and the clothes disappeared, probably thrown into the divine realm.

The divine realm was indeed suitable for destroying evidence of heartless men.

He Renyuan asked, trying to avoid repeating his mistakes, “Why did I lose my memory?”

Bai Qingyu said, “Because I brought you into the divine realm. The only connection between you and the divine realm was my will. When I lost my memory, the connection was broken, and you were ejected, your memory confiscated.”

Luckily, it was after He Renyuan recovered. Bai Qingyu was a little scared. It would have been bad if he had gotten pregnant easily.

The divine realm probably didn’t expect a mortal to enter and never leave, completing love and childbirth on the spot. Parental arrangements and matchmakers, that was the normal process in the ancient tea deity’s mind. If he had gone out to meet the parents, it wouldn’t have been a secret.

He Renyuan smiled, touching his forehead against Bai Qingyu’s, “So you telling me to get lost before was all fake, you didn’t mean it.”

“I didn’t…” Bai Qingyu reacted and said angrily, “Are you being a rogue?”

He Renyuan, “If you’re angry, I’ll drag myself to the divine realm and beat myself up, I won’t remember anyway.”

Bai Qingyu whispered, “Next time I take you to the divine realm, I won’t let you lose your memory.”

He Renyuan, originally afraid that Bai Qingyu would notice the blood on his wound, had sprayed perfume and didn’t dare to hug him. He finally couldn’t resist and hugged Bai Qingyu tightly, his throat tightening, “Thank you for forgiving my freeloading behavior.”

Bai Qingyu had forgotten all about criticizing freeloaders with Old Man Deng, “How were you freeloading? You’re the person I picked up, you’re mine, I can raise you however I want.”

It was him who didn’t let He Renyuan work. His, the tea deity’s, man didn’t need to work.

If it weren’t for raising He Renyuan as practice, how could he have easily raised Cha Bao so well?

He Renyuan agreed to be treated like a pet, he didn’t really want to be human anyway. He nuzzled Bai Qingyu’s hair, kissed him, and said, “Can you grow your hair long? I want to put the hairpin in your hair.”

Bai Qingyu obediently let his dark green hair grow.

He Renyuan picked up a few strands, wrapped them around, and used the jade hairpin to tie a small bun, “Accepting my hairpin means accepting my pursuit.”

Bai Qingyu didn’t say anything, his fair neck slightly bent.

He Renyuan pushed his luck, “If you hadn’t recovered your memory, would you have accepted my hairpin?”

Struggle and hesitation appeared in Bai Qingyu’s eyes.

He Renyuan, unsure who he was competing with, said sourly, “How am I not as good as that freeloader?”

Bai Qingyu, “Are you scolding yourself?”

He Renyuan looked at him.

Bai Qingyu then remembered that He Renyuan’s memory wasn’t complete, he had only recovered half of it. The memories of him forcing him to study, forcing him to develop resistance to sugar-coated bullets, teaching him negotiation strategies, were still in his hands.

He Renyuan was very capable and wouldn’t be soft. After the initial hunger strike, he found new methods. The first thing he did after tricking his wife was to build high walls to keep others out. This wall was ingrained in the tea deity’s mind, even after amnesia, it still played a defensive role, especially effective against He Renyuan himself, who built the wall with his blood.

To guard against wolves, you first had to guard against wolves like yourself.

Bai Qingyu stammered, “Because you taught me, I can’t be easily swayed.”

Whenever his heart raced for He Renyuan, there was always a rebellious voice urging him to resist. Bai Qingyu trusted He Renyuan to be a good person and unconditionally believed his intuition.

He Renyuan suddenly realized that he had done more than just freeload, it made sense. With his habit of writing in his diary when he suspected amnesia, how could he not have prepared for the future with a wife like Bai Qingyu?

He Renyuan coaxed softly, “What else did I teach you?”

Bai Qingyu, “Law, common sense, how to reject advances…”

It included broad civil law and details like not adding strangers on WeChat.

He Renyuan despised himself again. Bai Qingyu’s unyielding nature was him earnestly carrying out his love. He built the walls himself and then tried to tear them down, feeling wronged and going crazy when it didn’t work, it was completely unreasonable!

When he called Bai Qingyu a blockhead, he never thought that if it weren’t for the tea deity’s stubbornness, he would have changed partners long ago.

He Renyuan pleaded, “Did you find the rest of my memory fragments? I want to see them.”

Bai Qingyu, “I found—”

“Dad, I’m back!” Cha Bao’s voice came from downstairs. Bai Qingyu rushed to the window and looked at the fruit of his and He Renyuan’s love.

He had black hair, not because of human food, but because he took after He Renyuan.

He Renyuan followed and saw his parents had also arrived, “Change your hair back.”

Bai Qingyu removed the hairpin, “Oh.”

Perhaps the mango pudding at the wedding banquet was too delicious, He Wangzhong and Shu Mei were completely doting grandparents. They even took some leftovers, each holding a bowl of mango pudding, afraid of spilling it.

Bai Qingyu paused. Cha Bao loved mangoes so much, and the father and son had the same taste, so He Renyuan should also like them.

Because he was hit by a car while picking mangoes for him, He Renyuan no longer liked mangoes.

He Renyuan didn’t seem to remember the reason yet, maybe he could learn to like mangoes again. Bai Qingyu’s eyes flickered, he decided to selectively return He Renyuan’s memories.

He wouldn’t give him the embarrassing memories of the tea deity being hit by a car and “bullied.” In the first half of their relationship, the tea deity was in a superior position, He Renyuan was paralyzed and weak, he had the initiative. As for the second half… he hated having to input while his mind was blank.

Bai Qingyu mentioned, “Mango…”

He Renyuan, “What about mango?”

Bai Qingyu smiled, “Green tea mango is delicious, it was your favorite in the divine realm.”

He Renyuan frowned, “Really?” Had he eaten too much and gotten tired of it? Impossible, he would never get tired of anything combined with the tea deity’s essence.

“Then my memory?”

Bai Qingyu, “I found a little, I’ll give it to you tonight. Cha Bao is waiting for us downstairs.”

He Renyuan, “Okay.”

Bai Qingyu turned away from the window and suddenly smelled something strange on He Renyuan, “There’s still blood?”

He Renyuan, “A simple shower couldn’t wash away the smell, and the doctor told me not to shower for too long, so I sprayed some perfume.”

Bai Qingyu, “It’s okay, mortals can’t smell it, you don’t have to spray perfume.”

He Renyuan, “Okay.”

They went downstairs and heard Shu Mei looking at the floor, puzzled, “Why is there blood?”

He Renyuan, “I just killed a chicken.”

Shu Mei exclaimed and mopped it up. Cha Bao liked to run around barefoot, it would be too dirty if he stepped on chicken blood.

Bai Qingyu hugged Cha Bao, whom he hadn’t seen for two hours, “Baby, Dad loves you.”

He remembered the first time he saw Cha Bao, the feeling was different from discovering he had a child after amnesia. The joy of the former included sharing. He wanted to tell He Renyuan immediately, but the restriction didn’t give him a chance.

Because he had just remembered it, as if it were just a second ago, the desire to share hadn’t faded yet.

Bai Qingyu held Cha Bao, his eyes filled with a bright smile, “Lawyer He, this is our baby!”

The tiny Cha Bao dangled in the air, curling his toes, looking even smaller.

He Renyuan finally waited for the day Bai Qingyu admitted it himself. He couldn’t help but smile as he took Cha Bao and held him in his arms.

Bai Qingyu taught Cha Bao generously, “Uncle Boss is also your dad, Baby, change your address.”

Bai Xiaocha, “Dad Uncle?”

Bai Qingyu, “No, it’s Dad.”

Bai Xiaocha, “Boss Dad?”

It sounded like a worker addressing a capitalist. He Renyuan said, “Uncle wants to hear a two-syllable word.”

Bai Xiaocha shouted, “Uncle.”

He Renyuan: “…”

He Wangzhong was almost dying of anxiety. He didn’t even notice Bai Qingyu’s words, only that his grandson was just now acknowledging his father, he was used to calling him uncle, see, now he couldn’t even say “Dad.”

Bai Qingyu said to Cha Bao, “Baby has black hair, Uncle is a black-haired dad.”

Bai Xiaocha: Hmm?

He Renyuan said gently, “It’s okay, take your time.”

Bai Xiaocha sat in He Renyuan’s arms, his head resting against He Renyuan’s wound, pressing on it and causing some bleeding. He Renyuan didn’t change his expression.

Bai Xiaocha sniffed, his face puzzled, “Dad?”

Bai Qingyu gave He Renyuan a look, telling him to respond.

He Renyuan understood that his wife had let him be called Dad, his heart warmed, “Hmm? Cha Bao, what do you want to say?”

Bai Xiaocha turned around in his new dad’s arms. His hand was very small, much smaller than the distance between the two buttons on his shirt. He accidentally pulled it open, “Dad’s bleeding!”

He Renyuan froze: “…” This “Dad” came at a price.

Everyone’s faces changed, except for He Wangzhong, who was oblivious. Bai Qingyu and Shu Mei rushed over, one taking the little one away, the other rolling up He Renyuan’s shirt sleeve, tearing off the loose bandage, and seeing a sharp cut.

The wound wasn’t bleeding much, but the surrounding area was red, it might be infected.

He Wangzhong clenched his fists. This was clearly a stab wound. The He family did honest business, who injured his son?!

“What happened?”

He Renyuan, “I wasn’t careful when peeling an apple.”

He Wangzhong, “Do you think your dad is stupid—”

“Don’t talk.” Shu Mei stopped her agitated husband, placed her hand on He Renyuan’s forehead, felt that he was about to have a fever, “To the hospital.”

Bai Qingyu held the little one and glared at He Renyuan. He Renyuan had dodged his divine power again just now, as if he had anticipated it, which made him even more despicable.

He Renyuan squeezed his fingers, not daring to look at him, partly because he felt guilty, partly because he was afraid his parents would realize it was related to Bai Qingyu.

“I’m fine.”

Bai Qingyu followed them to the hospital. This was his first time at a human hospital. He Renyuan had avoided hospitalization because of him, but he still ended up here.

The doctor in the white coat immediately determined that He Renyuan had recently lost blood, but He Renyuan refused a transfusion, “Just treat the wound.”

“We need to stitch it, with anesthesia.”

Bai Qingyu said coldly, “He can endure it, don’t use anesthesia.”

He hadn’t made a sound since being injured, he was really tough. If Cha Bao hadn’t discovered it, how long would he have endured it? Was it because he blocked He Renyuan’s pain in the divine realm, making him think the external injury wasn’t serious?

He Renyuan went along with it, forcing a smile, “No anesthesia.”

Bai Qingyu, “Hmph.”

Shu Mei exchanged a look with the doctor. The doctor understood and stitched the wound with absorbable sutures.

Shu Mei winced, “Doctor, he needs to be hospitalized for a week, right?”

The doctor cooperated, “Yes.”

Shu Mei, “Admit him for a week, let him stay here until the wound scabs over. Qingyu, what do you think?”

Bai Qingyu watched He Renyuan being changed into a hospital gown, helpless but unable to resist, lying on the bed with a wristband and a monitor.

Bai Qingyu suddenly felt that human hospitals weren’t bad and nodded, “This is very good.”

The doctor said, “Mr. He is in good health, he’ll recover easily, just needs more nutritious food recently, no big problem.”

He Wangzhong was about to volunteer when Bai Qingyu took on the task.

Shu Mei understood something in the flash of Cha Bao acknowledging his father and grabbed He Wangzhong, “You rest, give the young couple a chance.”

He Wangzhong was confused, “What young couple…”

Bai Qingyu put Cha Bao on He Renyuan’s quilt, holding him down so He Renyuan couldn’t lift it, “Baby, watch him and don’t let him get out of bed, Dad will go make food.”

Bai Xiaocha, “Okay!”

He Renyuan had a bad premonition.

Bai Qingyu returned to the He family home and started making liquid food. It seemed He Renyuan hadn’t had enough and could still eat more.

But the He family didn’t have the stone trough he was used to in the divine realm. He considered taking it out.

The housekeeper saw Bai Qingyu at a loss in the kitchen. Hearing about his difficulty, he smiled, “You need a blender, it can even blend fish bones into fish soup.”

Bai Qingyu’s eyes lit up, “There’s such a good thing?”

An hour later, He Renyuan looked at the bowl of soup with complex ingredients and color and said happily, “It smells good, wife, I can drink it even without an appetite.”

Bai Xiaocha repeated, “It smells good!”

Bai Qingyu raised an eyebrow, “He Renyuan, finish it.” The soup from the blender was very fine, suitable for patients without an appetite to drink like water. Humans were really smart. The blender could do in three minutes what he couldn’t do in half a day in the divine realm.

When Bai Qingyu went to the bathroom to wring out a towel for him, He Renyuan immediately coaxed the child, “Cha Bao, secretly help Dad drink some, Dad will buy you ice cream.”

Bai Xiaocha, “Okay!”

He Renyuan understood the saying “raise children to provide for old age” at this moment.

The filial son helped his new dad finish half a bowl in one go, wiped his mouth, and couldn’t help but tell the truth, “It doesn’t smell very good.”

He Renyuan, “Shh.”
