Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 56

Shen Yunxing was running ahead with his gun, while Lu Bai and the others followed behind. Fu Tingzhou silently followed for a while, then turned and ran in the opposite direction. Before long, he emerged from the poison circle, weaving through the terrain on a motorcycle.

“Get in the car.” He brought the vehicle to where the character controlled by the young man was and readily offered the driver’s seat.

Shen Yunxing’s heart warmed. He opened the interaction bar and sent a “hug” to Mr. Fu’s newbie character.

As they interacted, Fu Tingzhou asked with a smile, “Don’t you have any colorful hearts?”

Shen Yunxing bit his lip, his ears turning red as he pulled out the only colorful heart from his backpack and handed it to “Mr. Fu.”

Fu Tingzhou accepted it, and the next second, the colorful heart exploded around them with a bang. The effect lasted for five seconds, turning them into moving targets, attracting more than half of the remaining thirty people on the map.

“Bro, can you two show off your affection in a more appropriate place? How about a vacant building or a remote area? Showing off under an airdrop? You’re the best at playing, bro!” Lu Bai, controlling his character, gave them a thumbs up.

Su Yin scattered flowers as she ran: “How romantic.”

Lu Bai: “Romantic? You’re about to be shot to pieces and you still think it’s romantic? Dying together isn’t romantic, it’s foolish!”

Su Yin ignored him, ran into the safe zone, and found a small toilet to hide in.

With the big boss and the wealthy benefactor being lovey-dovey, Lu Bai took on the responsibility of protecting the only girl in the team. He grabbed his gun and hurried after them.

Meanwhile, Shen Yunxing quickly assessed the situation when he heard the footsteps of more than ten people around them.

“Mr. Fu, do you trust me?” He turned off the team voice chat and asked Fu Tingzhou.

Seeing the man nod, he took off his level-three helmet and armor and handed them to Mr. Fu.

“When I tell you to enter a building, just go in and keep running with your gun holstered. Don’t look back or throw smoke grenades, just leave everything to me.”

“Got it.”

Seeing Mr. Fu cooperate so well, Shen Yunxing couldn’t help but lean in and give the man a quick kiss on the cheek. Sitting back up, he cleared his throat, his ears slightly red, and gave the first command: “The first house on the left, run!”

“Dammit, bro, are you trying to kill your spouse?” Lu Bai’s heart leaped to his throat when Mr. Fu suddenly ran out of the small toilet.

Shen Yunxing frowned: “Don’t talk. I can’t hear the footsteps clearly.”

Lu Bai: “…” *covers mouth.jpg*

Ten seconds later, Fu Tingzhou, with half of his level-three armor destroyed, safely jumped into the building.

At the same time, two gunshots rang out as Shen Yunxing wiped out the nearest enemy team.

“Damn, nice job, bro!”

“Number Four, great job!” Su Yin couldn’t help but praise.

“Shh, enemies are coming. Little Lu, you and Number Three stay hidden. I’ll handle this side and come to rescue you.”

The overconfident Lu Bai: “Got it, bro!”

Su Yin, dazzled by Shen Yunxing’s skills: “Stay safe!”

Shen Yunxing: “Mr. Fu, go into the second toilet ahead and don’t move. Wait for me to find you!”

“Understood.”

Fu Tingzhou, again serving as bait under a hail of bullets, managed to reach safety with only a sliver of health left.

Seeing that Mr. Fu hadn’t “died,” Shen Yunxing aimed his gun at a certain direction and said solemnly, “I’ve found you.”

He stared intently at the enemy’s sniper position. Three seconds later, the enemy finally peeked out. Shen Yunxing’s eyes lit up as his fingers swiftly operated the controls, using a four-times scope to eliminate the enemy. Timing it perfectly, he took down three enemies in one go, leaving the last one to die without any help.

A full team was wiped out in under a minute.

Fu Tingzhou, watching the young man’s serious profile, shook his head and laughed, “You look very cool with a gun.”

Shen Yunxing straightened his chest, feeling like he was on top of the world!

“Bro, stop showing off and get over here before we get killed and our bodies desecrated!” Lu Bai cried out.

“Wait.”

Looking very cool, Shen Yunxing tossed two medical kits to Mr. Fu, then turned and ran back into the battlefield, leaving Mr. Fu with a striking and resolute back view.

Cool, right? There’s even more coolness to come. He used to be able to single-handedly take on an entire map!

He was controlling his character, and the thought of his growing impressive image in Mr. Fu’s eyes made him unconsciously smile.

Three minutes later, Lu Bai and Su Yin, who were finally saved, sat in the backseat of a commandeered jeep, still coming down from the thrill of the recent battle.

“Number Four, you’re amazing. Are you a professional player?” Su Yin asked with a hidden purpose.

Shen Yunxing: “No.”

“Not a pro? But your shooting skills are precise. Some professional players can’t shoot as well as you!”

“Exactly. If you ever stop acting, you could become a professional player. You’re at the perfect age for their recruitment; you could definitely bring home a championship for our country!” Lu Bai said excitedly.

Su Yin: Oh, new info—he’s a relatively young actor.

Shen Yunxing: “No, I prefer acting.”

“Looks like we can’t get through ahead. Let’s get off and take a boat,” he told them.

Lu Bai: “Are you sure, bro? It’s just a forest ahead. Since we’re already out of the map, we definitely can’t get through.”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

Since this place was almost identical to the Dream Island Mr. Fu had given him, and no one had found the attraction in the open map, it had to be hidden in an undeveloped area.

Two minutes later, Lu Bai watched in shock as the four of them disappeared from the map. His jaw nearly dropped.

“What kind of designer hides an attraction outside the map? It’s impossible to find unless you’re a ghost!”

“Mr. Fu, are you not worried that this attraction might be abandoned if no one finds it?” Shen Yunxing asked after turning off the voice chat, since only he and Mr. Fu knew about it.

“It won’t be abandoned. If no one finds it within three days, the game’s main control will intentionally create a bug to allow players to access it,” Fu Tingzhou said.

“Then it’s not really a surprise,” Shen Yunxing said, looking at the familiar scene on the screen and the two statues standing by the sea, feeling both moved and surprised.

“With the sea and fireworks, the designer of this attraction might have been proposing,” Lu Bai said, circling the statues and, in a Sherlock Holmes-like manner, added, “Looks like these statues are of the designer and their partner, right?”

“That makes sense!” Su Yin also started circling the statues.

After spinning around for a while, they still couldn’t figure out who the statues were of.

Because they were so ugly!

Lu Bai: “This designer is so careless. The statues are so ugly and they have the nerve to place them right in the center of the attraction?”

“Well, they do look a bit rough,” Su Yin couldn’t help but agree.

Fu Tingzhou, who had spent a lot of effort and money to get the game planners to agree to this design, tilted his head and asked the young man, “Is it really that bad?”

Shen Yunxing’s eyes widened: “They’re wrong. It’s actually very beautiful.”

In his eyes, Mr. Fu was capable of anything, so how could his design not be good? It must be a problem with the modelers!

Seeing the young man so earnestly defending him, Fu Tingzhou smiled and shook his head. He knew that his design style was different from everyone’s aesthetic standards but also knew that no matter how it turned out, the young man would like it. That’s why he spared no expense to make sure the plan was approved.

“Do you like it?” he asked.

Shen Yunxing nodded, so excited that his eyes were rimmed with red.

“Not just like it, but why are you crying?” Fu Tingzhou said, wiping the tears from the corner of the young man’s eye with his fingertip and pulling him into an embrace.

“I’m not crying; I’m just so happy.” Shen Yunxing rubbed his head against Mr. Fu’s chest, tilted his head to kiss the man’s Adam’s apple, and said softly with flushed cheeks, “I like Mr. Fu the most.”

“Even after the baby is born, do you like me the most?” Fu Tingzhou asked with a smile.

“Yes, the most.”

After saying this, he touched his stomach and silently thought: Baby, be good. Daddy is comforting your other daddy.

Seeing through the young man’s thoughts, Fu Tingzhou shook his head with a smile and leaned down to kiss Shen Yunxing’s forehead.

Just as Shen Yunxing looked up and their lips were about to meet, Lu Bai shouted loudly.

“Bro! Daddy Fu! Where are you guys? The limited-edition outfits are being distributed! Come back and wear the new clothes!”

“Shut up, it’s the middle of the night. You’re going to wake up the ghosts under the bed,” Shen Yunxing said, sitting up with some dissatisfaction.

“Bro, don’t scare me! You know I’m most afraid of that!” Lu Bai’s voice trembled with fear.

Unable to truly scare the child who had been calling him ‘bro’ for months, Shen Yunxing softened his tone to reassure him.

“Okay, I was just joking. We need to wear the new clothes, so let’s finish this round first.”

“Why not just self-destruct?” Lu Bai sniffed.

“When have you ever seen me self-destruct? A real man either wins or dies in battle. Self-destructing is something only weaklings do; I would never do it.”

Lu Bai: “…Bro, why do you even bring call-backs into your gaming?”

Su Yin: “Pfft~”

 

Before the group could even leave the attraction, they saw that the remaining people on the map had all arrived by boat.

 

“Bro, no shooting allowed here. If any of you are in a hurry, self-destruct quickly. This round is a life-and-death match with my girlfriend. If I win, she’ll agree to my proposal; if I lose, I’ll have to marry someone else with the baby in her belly!” A full-voice player said, tears streaming down his face.

 

“Damn, is it really that tragic? Let him win this round then.”

 

“Using a game’s uncertain outcome as a bet? Bro, such a woman isn’t worth keeping around.”

 

“Not sure if it’s true, but I’m out of here. Good luck, bro!”

 

……

 

The crowd chatted animatedly.

 

Lu Bai checked the time and said, “Bro, I only have one hour of game time, and there are five minutes left. I’m going to self-destruct first; I want to save time to check out the new battle gear!”

 

Shen Yunxing: “Okay.”

 

“Number Three, let’s add each other as friends and team up for future matches?” Lu Bai casually asked before self-destructing.

 

Su Yin: “Sure.”

 

The two who probably couldn’t agree to add friends, he decided to start with this little kid!

 

“OK, I’m out!”

 

Five minutes later, only four people were left on the map.

 

Shen Yunxing, Fu Tingzhou, the guy who was doing the life-and-death match with his girlfriend, and bystander Su Yin.

 

“Don’t mind me; I’m just a bystander,” Su Yin said, hiding behind a statue.

 

The life-and-death match guy turned his character’s explosive hair and black face toward the other two.

 

“Bro, help me out. I really can’t lose.”

 

Shen Yunxing: “No, I promised my partner I’d win this match for him.”

 

“This is a scam. You’re not sincere at all and keep wandering around the map. You don’t seem like someone being forced into a life-and-death match by a girlfriend.” He switched to team voice chat.

 

Realizing it just now, Su Yin: Oh, I was so focused on shipping the couple that, as a veteran actor, I didn’t notice this sooner.

 

“Bro? Hello? Are you still there?”

 

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, the other person jumped in front of him like a monkey and even punched him twice.

 

Shen Yunxing: “Either self-destruct or I’ll win this match. It’s one or the other.”

 

Su Yin: So cool, little brother.

 

Fu Tingzhou, protected by the young man, had a small smile on his lips.

 

“Sniping contest? Bro, you can’t match my skills.” The guy glanced at the sniper Fu Tingzhou was holding in his arms.

 

“You haven’t tried yet, how do you know you can’t match?” Shen Yunxing looked at Mr. Fu beside him, and seriously said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely win this match for you.”

 

“Okay.” Fu Tingzhou smiled and nodded.

 

A guy?

 

The life-and-death match guy was momentarily stunned.

 

Wait, he might have heard it wrong.

 

“Alright, let’s do the sniping contest. From your voice, you sound pretty young. Don’t cry if you lose,” he teased.

 

However, five minutes later—

 

The life-and-death match guy, who got headshot with a single shot, was stunned.

 

“Damn, I didn’t even get to shoot a single bullet, and I’m already out??!”

 

“Chicken.” Shen Yunxing, who never looted corpses, sprayed bullets at the body on the ground with his new gun.

 

After being mocked twice in one day for being young, he was almost fed up.

 

“Winner winner!” As the champion crate dropped, he tugged at the man’s sleeve, urging, “Hurry up and hold up the trophy, Mr. Fu!”

 

Su Yin, who guessed that Mr. Fu wouldn’t do that: “Break the crate, then get close to the trophy to lift it.”

 

“Thanks.”

 

Shen Yunxing, who successfully led Mr. Fu to victory, stood behind him, hiding his achievements and fame (？).

 

……

 

The next day.

 

Shen Yunxing had dreamed all night of riding a motorcycle and racing with Mr. Fu in the game. When he woke up in the morning, still a bit dazed, and heard Mr. Fu ask what he wanted for breakfast, he reflexively replied, “Let’s eat chicken.”

 

Seeing the smiling eyes of the man, he suddenly woke up.

 

“No, I meant ‘eat chicken’…”

 

Ah, the more he tried to clarify, the worse it got!

 

Author’s Note:

 

The term “call back” refers to a concept from stand-up comedy and cross-talk. Here, it means Shen Yunxing intentionally mentioned Lu Bai’s previous comment about being weak.

 

Lu Bai: Bro, you’re just one step away from writing “praise me” on your face. And still hiding your achievements?

 

Shen Yunxing: Under the bed…

 

Lu Bai: Bro, I’m sorry QAQ!
