Part 2
The sky gradually darkened, and Yu Li received a call from Yan Shiting, who said he still had some things to do and would be back late tonight.
Yu Li developed a strange feeling in his heart.
He tried to grasp it, but couldn't no matter how he tried.
He touched his earlobe and murmured "Hmm" in a gloomy manner.
The call had not yet been hung up, when Yan Shiting on the other end fell silent for a while, then suddenly called his name: "Yu Li."
Yu Li: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Yan Shiting fell silent again.
Yu Li did not hang up, nor did he urge him, just waiting quietly.
After a long while, Yan Shiting said in a deep voice, "Nothing, go to bed early."
The call was disconnected.
Yu Li stared at the phone screen, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the strange feeling he had just now.
Yu Li shook his head, took a shower and got ready to sleep.
The dark environment seemed to amplify one's feelings and emotions.
Yu Li's thoughts went back to noon.
He admitted that he had been avoiding thinking about it these past few days, and was unwilling to carefully consider whether or not to keep this child.
He had even wanted to leave the decision to Yan Shiting last night, but when he thought about Yan Shiting not wanting the child either, he was at a loss.
But now, Yu Li wanted to face this problem himself.
When he knew about his sexual orientation, Yu Li had already prepared himself mentally that he would not have children.
However, due to an accident, he now had his own child.
Although he was initially shocked and resistant to the fact that he could get pregnant, Yu Li himself actually did not dislike this child.
This child might make him suffer from others' strange gazes, but this is the only chance he will have in his lifetime.
Yu Li took a deep breath.
He wants to keep this child, even if Yan Shiting doesn't want it, he will keep it.
This is his child, and he will raise it well.
However…
Yu Li grabbed the pillow and thought about it after biting his lip.
It would be better to ask Yan Shiting first if he wants it or not, after all, he is the other father of the child.
Although he slept for a long time in the afternoon, Yu Li still quickly felt sleepy.
He hugged the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.
Around 1 o'clock at night, Yan Shiting unlocked the door and walked into the foyer, but found the house was a little different from usual.
He looked up and saw that the wall lamp near the foyer was on, lighting up a small stretch from the foyer to the light switch.
The soft light dispelled the darkness in the living room, and seemed to bring a sense of warmth.
Yan Shiting was slightly taken aback.
He himself didn't know that the lighting in the living room could give people a sense of warmth.
He didn't often return to the villa, this set of property was where he usually lived.
Previously, the small stretch at night would be dark when he came back.
Realizing that this was the light Yu Li had left for him, Yan Shiting stood in the foyer, hesitating to move.
...
Early the next morning.
Yu Li got up and went to the living room, seeing Yan Shiting sitting on the sofa in a bathrobe, looking at a contract.
The gold-rimmed glasses were placed on the armrest, and there were some dark circles under Yan Shiting's eyes, indicating he had stayed up late.
Catching a glimpse of Yu Li waking up, Yan Shiting glanced over and said, "Breakfast is on the dining table."
The same words as yesterday morning.
Yu Li found it somewhat amusing, without even realizing that the corners of his mouth had curved upwards.
But he hesitated for a while, and did not go to the dining table, but sat down on the sofa next to Yan Shiting.
"Big Brother Yan, are you busy today?"
Hearing his form of address, Yan Shiting's body stiffened for a moment.
He closed the contract and looked at Yu Li.
The young man had just woken up, his soft hair sticking up in a strand, and the collar of his pajamas was a bit crooked, revealing a prominent collarbone.
Yan Shiting calmly averted his gaze and said, "No, not busy."
Yu Li clenched his fists in his heart, silently getting a little angry.
He said, "I have something I want to talk to you about."
Yan Shiting: "Hmm."
Yu Li looked down at his own belly, took a deep breath, and asked, "I want to ask you, do you want me to keep this child?"
Yan Shiting was taken aback, and the hand gripping the contract gradually tightened.
He turned his head to look at Yu Li, "Why are you asking me."
Yu Li looked at Yan Shiting.
Perhaps it was because he was wearing a bathrobe, or maybe because he wasn't wearing glasses, Yan Shiting didn't have that ruthless aura, giving Yu Li the courage to speak:
"Because you are the other father of this child, so I want to know your thoughts."
The identity of the other father of the child had never been discussed between the two.
Once this was brought up, it was inevitable to think about that night at the party, and the argument before school started.
But after Yu Li said it, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
These were things he needed to face himself, and constantly avoiding them would not solve the problem.
After the words fell, the living room fell silent for a while.
Yan Shiting quietly looked at Yu Li and said in a deep voice, "Yu Li."
He swallowed hard and said, "You are the one who is pregnant, whether to keep it or not, is only for you to decide."
Yu Li was stunned.
Yan Shiting put down the contract in his hand and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, seemingly casually asking, "Do you want to keep this child?"
Yu Li came to his senses.
He nodded and tentatively looked at Yan Shiting, saying, "I want to."
Yan Shiting's mouth tightened.
He turned his head back and saw the uneasy look in Yu Li's eyes.
He was still worried that Yan Shiting didn't want it?
Yan Shiting suddenly remembered last night's lights.
He lowered his gaze, concealing the expression in his eyes, and said as calmly as possible:
"Then, perhaps we need to get married."
