Chapter 22: CH 71

After this test, Gu Yixin found a huge problem.

Lu Mingshi covered his face with his hands, striving to pretend that nothing had happened. And mouthed The Three Character Classic1Three Character Classic, 13th-century reading primer consisting of Confucian tenets in lines of 3 characters, The Thousand Character Classic2Thousand Character Classic, 6th-century poem used as a traditional reading primer, and The Book of Family Names3The Book of Family Names, anonymous Song dynasty reading primer listing 438 surnames to divert his attention.

Gu Yixin raised his head in horror.

Lu Mingshi tried his best to organize his mood and forced himself to calm down.

“How, how was it?”

Gu Yixin frowned.

“Bitter.”

……

Lu Mingshi sluggishly looked at Gu Yixin for a long time.

Actual practice is the sole criterion for judging truth4item from Deng Xiaoping theory, from 1978.

This sentence was Gu Yixin’s standard of action. Over a long time, Lu Mingshi has also been deeply influenced by this.

So Lu Mingshi himself decided to give it a try5Guys, are you sure you can do this????.

……

Gu Yixin tentatively looked at Lu Mingshi, “How was it?”

Lu Mingshi couldn’t help but let out “bah6pah! / bah! / pooh! / to spit (in contempt)” and his face wrinkled into a ball.

It was really bitter ah.

The two of them turned to look at the baby who was happily drinking milk.

“Our son must be very smart. At such a young age, he knows not to drink bitter things.”

Sure enough, he had proven himself to be born by Lu Mingshi himself. He exactly had the same dread of bitterness.

Lu Mingshi murmured, “Yeah, when I was a kid, they gave me Chinese goldthread7rhizome used in medicine to drink and I vomited it out.”

For a while, the two quietly admired Lu Jiujin’s act of drinking milk, and a kind expression appeared on their faces at the same time.

Look at his little mouth, how powerful he sucks.

Look at his calf, how energetic it was.

Look at his little plump hand. It was shaking left and right in the air as if he was asking for another bottle.

……

After a long time of loving and peaceful appreciation, both of them breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time.

He is really worthy of being my son!

Comrade Lu Jiujin burped his milk. Lu Mingshi wiped the milk foam from his mouth with a paper towel. After watching for a while, Gu Yixin finally remembered that their focus was wrong.

“So why is it bitter?”

Lu Mingshi’s movements stagnated.

Yeah, that was a good question.

As soon as Lu Mingshi wanted to say something, he saw that Gu Yixin’s line of sight fell on his chest.

Gu Yixin pondered, “As they say, bitter medicine cures the disease.”

“Maybe, it has the effect of clearing or decreasing internal heat?”

“……”

Lu Mingshi looked at him with a helpless look.

Books are the stepping stones to the improvement of humans. Gu Yixin quickly thought of a way. He climbed upstairs and took down The Pregnant Husband’s Guide from the bedside.

“First of all, it depends on the taste of the food that you eat…..”

Gu Yixin paused. This was obviously impossible. Because Lu Mingshi had never eaten anything bitter.

“In addition to that, it also has to do with the state of mind…..”

Gu Yixin doubtfully glanced at Lu Mingshi. He was sitting on the big sofa by the window, tilting the leg that he placed over the other, and leisurely enjoying a pot of tea.

It didn’t look like he was hiding something.

His acting skills were very good.

Lu Mingshi put on an act of looking at the scenery outside the window. Gu Yixin walked over quietly and showed him the contents of the book.

Lu Mingshi was a little speechless.

Gu Yixin asked patiently, “Why do you wanna pretend to be very happy?”

Lu Mingshi became speechless for a long time after looking at his serious eyes and then he finally sighed silently.

“When I was a kid……”

Lu Mingshi’s melancholy tone was accompanied by the evening breeze that blew in. It gave Gu Yixin an illusion as if the mini version of the little Lu Mingshi was in front of him and he could touch his head as soon as he reached out his hand.

“When I was a kid, my father used to always be very busy.” Lu Mingshi softly said, “Most of the time he just didn’t have time to accompany us. But there was one or two years……”

At that time, the family’s economy came across a real crisis and his father’s swift and decisive style of behavior made many enemies. Everyone was waiting for them to be a joke and for the elegant and graceful head of the Lu household to lose all his grace and to taste the pain.

“But my father carried them all on his shoulders. In front of the public or in the past, there isn’t a slight difference. The Lu family has never lost its face in front of anyone.”

But father Lu really couldn’t manage his household at that time.

“I’ve seen him collapse many times. At that time, I was young and didn’t understand his hardships. So I had a huge fight with him.” Lu Mingshi chuckled, with a little regret, “I even hated him for a long time.”

Gu Yixin stretched out his hand and gently touched the top of Lu Mingshi’s hair.

His movements were very light. If Lu Mingshi was not looking at him and watching him gently put his hand on his head, he would not be able to perceive the weight.

Lu Mingshi looked at him in surprise. So much so that he even paused, forgetting what he was going to say.

“……if you touch me like this, you will make me think that you are touching the piggy.”

Piggy was their nickname for Xiao Jiujin. Who made the baby be born in the year of the pig8The Pig or sometimes translated as the Boar is the twelfth of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac, in relation to the Chinese calendar and system of horology, and paralleling the system of ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches.?

Gu Yixin solemnly said, “That can’t be. Baby is baby and you are you.”

But this way of touching was clearly the way in which he touched the baby. Lu Mingshi thought about it but did not expose him.

“……When I graduated from the world’s No. 1 university, my father said that he had spent too little time with my mother over the years, and I needed to train myself too. So he took my mother to travel abroad and left the company to me.”

When saying this part, Lu Mingshi still had some resentment in his heart.

His expression unconsciously became very resentful too.

Gu Yixin secretly glanced at his chest. He didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but he totally felt that the bitterness in the air had become a bit stronger.

Lu Mingshi murmured, “That, I am also very upset. Why don’t they think that I also wanna interact with them?”

“I just graduated from college at that time and was very stubborn. I didn’t say anything even though I was unhappy. I held back my annoyance and thought about surpassing my father and proving myself.”

Unexpectedly, he proved himself too much, and Father Lu became very happy. Now he didn’t even need to go home to help clean up the mess, and he happily lived a two-person world with Mother Lu9romantic couple’s world.

“Actually, I just want to say that I don’t want to bring the bad mood from the company into my home.”

“That’s pretty unfair. Moreover, I think I can handle it. Back then, my dad could do it, and I am better than him. So I can solve these things well.”

Comrade Lu Jiujin yawned greatly during his father’s rare heartfelt action and obediently closed his eyes to fall asleep.

“……” Lu Mingshi tried to weep, but failed to shed a tear, “Baby, are my words very hypnotic?”

Gu Yixin comforted him, “It is not hypnotic, it is not hypnotic. I’m excited now.”

As soon as he said this, he felt that his wording was a bit inappropriate. So he changed his words and said, “I’m clear-headed.”

After Lu Mingshi, whose inner emotions returned back to normal after the complaining, looked at the sleeping baby, he looked at the open neckline of Gu Yixin and the lines of the vest underneath, which easily gave birth to an idea.

But unexpectedly, Gu Yixin held down his hands.

Gu Yixin thought to himself that when Lu Mingshi encountered such a big thing, was precisely the time when he needed to preserve and nurture his spirit10honing his strength for the big push. It was better to not divert and consume his energy.

Therefore, he did a rare evasion, “It’s not so good.”

Lu Mingshi looked at the slightly embarrassed expression of Gu Yixin that was visible, and ten thousand horses started stampeding in his mind instantly.

When your significant other suddenly stops asking for your body, you think it will be……

Rubbish. Of course, I would think that he has someone outside!

Maybe, he has been coming home so late every day lately because he had been out with other people —

Lu Mingshi’s face collapsed.

No. Maybe there is another possibility.

Perhaps Gu Yixin was overworked because of the intensity of his work so much so that he suddenly developed a dysfunction and hid the sickness for fear of treatment11hiding a sickness for fear of treatment (idiom); fig. concealing a fault to avoid criticism / to keep one’s shortcomings secret / to refuse to listen to advice……？

This is not okay!

The more Lu Mingshi thought about it, the worse it got.

“Honey, if it doesn’t function, you have to see a doctor!” Lu Ming said sincerely, with a trace of sympathy in his voice, “I know that for men this is really……”

As Lu Mingshi said this, he very naturally stretched out his hand to check it out.

In the end, it was naturally full of life and exuberant.

Lu Mingshi breathed a sigh of relief and was really glad, “Fortunately.”

Gu Yixin took out his mobile phone and glanced at the weather forecast.

“It will rain tomorrow.”

Gu Yixin said.

Lu Mingshi nodded, “Remember to carry an umbrella.”

Gu Yixin looked at Lu Mingshi tenderly.

“I mean, anyway, it will rain tomorrow. So why don’t we just not go out?”

So in the midst of Lu Mingshi’s eyes gradually turning frightened and the sensation of the sky spinning – he was carried up and thrown on the bed – the next day came.

After the passion, the two people sat on the head of the bed, each with a bottle of after-the-event milk12Why did my thoughts turn dirty while translating this?.

As the saying goes, a cigarette after the event makes you happy like an immortal. However, these two comrades had good living habits and never smoked. Instead, they insisted on exercising and drinking more milk. So they changed the smoking after the event to milk after the event.

It’s just that in addition to the smell of the milk, there was still a bit of bitterness left in the air.

That was like a bitter tea that was mixed with tangerine peel, with a slight aroma of coffee beans and dark chocolate, which was very unique.

Although it wasn’t dense, it would come out from time to time to disturb people’s moods.

Gu Yixin felt a little craving for chocolate.

Lu Mingshi twitched his nose and sniffed the bitterness in the air.

He was a little worried.

This is great. With this function, I won’t be able to lie at all in the future.

While Gu Yixin was drinking milk, he was also thinking about a load in his mind.

Originally, he also wanted to confess about being attacked by the hitmen. But after a second thought, with Lu Mingshi’s caution, if he knew about it, he might hire a few S-level mercenaries to be his bodyguards.

The problem was that now, he was not only not afraid of these wave after wave of hitmen sent to his door, but he also had a trace of expectation.

It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Anyway, Gu Yixin thought that it would be good to have more efficient employees on the construction site

But Gu Yixin’s way of thinking changed quickly.

The two new employees were not bad and the new hitman was as useless as he thought they would be13Because of those hobbies..

Hitman C shouted, “I will never listen to you beep like them”, very resolutely and got the true meaning of resolving the problem. However, he made a huge mistake.

He chose to fight hand-to-hand with Gu Yixin.

Hitman C pawned.

Hitman D cleverly chose the safest method. He set up a sniper rifle remotely and decided to blast the target to slag.

However, this most efficient method did not work too.

Because his scope automatically shattered into slag after aiming at Gu Yixin.

Hitman D pawned.

Hitman E’s personal strength was relatively unique. He generally used hypnosis to make the target sleep peacefully in his dreamland. So he found Gu Yixin and asked him if he needed free psychological counseling.

“I’m usually very expensive. But today it’s free for you.”

Hitman E frantically hinted.

Gu Yixin looked at this good-looking man who appeared out of nowhere and naturally misunderstood14This hitman E (kind of) has the qualities to be a danmei MC..

Gu Yixin frowned and solemnly said, “I’m sorry, I already have a wife, and I can’t do anything wrong with him.”

Hitman E felt a sense of urgency. he looked at Gu Yixin’s rear view and frantically asked, “All men have troubles. Don’t you have any troubles?”

Gu Yixin thought for a long time.

It was getting late. The sun was setting in the west, and the street lights were turned on one by one. It looked like he was going to be late for going home today.

Gu Yixin was finally sure.

“There is really no such thing.”

Hitman E was pawned.
