I Found Myself Pregnant After Becoming An Omega 12

Chapter 12: Is He Zhou really the father?

 

When Ji Yu woke up, it was already bright outside.

 

He was still not fully awake, lying on the bed in a daze. After a while, he exhaled, and reached out to get his phone by side of the bed. However, before he could reach the phone, his hand was hugged by something.

 

Looking down, it was little Yu Zhou.

 

The small lump nestled next to him, with fleshy cheeks bulging with light puffs, and small hands and feet that were all wrapped around Ji Yu’s hand, as if he were afraid that Ji Yu would run away,

 

So cute.

 

Ji Yu's expression softened, and he raised a hand and poked the plump face, though he didn't intend to disturb little Yu Zhou.

 

Long eyelashes quivered, and little Yu Zhou opened his eyes to see Ji Yu. His small mouth frown, and misty water droplet soon gathered in grape-like eyes, as he arched his small head into Ji Yu's arms particularly aggrieved.

 

Ji Yu smiled and touched his little head: "Daddy woke you up, are you angry?"

 

"Ma~" Little Yu Zhou pouted pitifully. He still remembered that his father left without hugging him last night and felt wronged.

 

Ji Yu's hand stopped, his expression stiff on his face.

 

An overwhelming torrent of information that had been deliberately pushed to the back of his mind, suddenly came rushing forth.

 

With his free hand, Ji Yu touched his heart. Just now, his own son had landed a critical blow right there.

 

Why did he wake up early in the morning to be reminded of the fact that he has changed from a man to a ‘mother?’

 

He was too miserable.

 

Xie Yu Xing opened the door and saw Ji Yu collapsed on the bed with a dispirited face.

 

He originally wanted to just come up and carry little Yu Zhou to breakfast, but found that both parent and child were awake. Being awake is also for the best, after all, he still has something to say to Ji Yu.

 

"Wake up. Aren’t you getting up yet? I have already asked the school for leave on your behalf, and the nanny has also made breakfast. Get up and wash your face and brush your teeth. We will have a good chat after eating.”

 

Ji Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I don't want to move. My brain is tired, my heart is tired, my body is tired, everything is tired."

 

"Well, it's normal to be uncomfortable after getting marked twice in a short period of time." Xie Yu Xing walked into the bedroom, "Then I will carry little Yu Zhou out first, and you can continue to sleep. We'll talk about it when you get up." ¹

 

Ji Yu closed his eyes tiredly and nodded: "Sure."

 

Little Yu Zhou was reluctant to leave Ji Yu, but he seemed to know that his mother was uncomfortable, so he could only puff out his cheeks. After a bit of humming from Ji Yu, he became happy again, and was carried away by Xie Yu Xing obediently. ²

 

When the others have left, Ji Yu opened his eyes again, and lay on the bed in a daze.

 

He doesn't really want to sleep, and his mind is actually very clear. However, he doesn't want to move, nor do anything, and just feel like laying boringly on the bed and waste away his life.

 

At 11:30 am, Xie Yu Xing knocked on the door again: "Won’t you at least eat lunch?"

 

Ji Yu finally moved, and looked at the door: "How about a drink?"

 

Xie Yu Xing was taken aback: "Huh?"

 

Ji Yu sat up and waved his hand: "Let’s go out. I’m inviting you for a drink and eat lobster to celebrate my success in defending my chastity." ³

 

It's not in his character to be depressed all the time. If there’s a block in his heart, he has to clear it.

 

Besides, it’s too boring to eat quietly at home.

 

In the summertime, it’s best to have a big cup of ice-cold beer with some spicy crawfish. The two of them would eat and chat, soaked in sweat from the heat and mouths glistening with oil. ⁴

 

How truly refreshing and ventilating.

 

Xie Yu Xing snorted ⁵ and chuckled: "You ought to celebrate."

 

Ji Yu's neck hurts, and he feels uncomfortable from all the lying down.

 

He stood up, exercised his limbs for a bit, then took his clothes and went into the bathroom to change. After he came out, he asked, "Can I drink alcohol after being marked?"

 

Xie Yu Xing was still laughing, he nodded: "That doesn’t matter. Where should we go to eat?"

 

The nanny’s food is excellent, but she cares about too much nutrition and health, and does not cook with heavy oil or salt. In the summer, people generally have a lack of appetite. A table of healthy dishes is not as tasty as a pot of spicy crawfish in a street stall on the side of the road.

 

Ji Yu put the phone in his pocket and moved downstairs in a natural manner: "Let’s talk about it after we go out." ⁶

 

When they went down, the nanny was sitting on the living room floor with little Yu Zhou, playing with toy building blocks.

 

Ji Yu gave Xie Yu Xing a gesture, and Xie Yu Xing nodded in understanding. The two ran tiptoed to the front door like thieves, open and exited, before quietly closing the door and putting on their shoes. They did it all in one go, without disturbing the people inside.

 

As soon as he came out, Ji Yu took a deep breath and stretched exaggeratedly: "It's so comfortable."

 

"So, are we taking a taxi or what?"

 

"Taking a taxi."

 

===

 

In the end, with no definite destination, the taxi driver recommended a delicious crawfish shop in a street food area of the nearby university town, and drove them there.

 

When they arrived, they saw that the restaurant was packed.

 

They asked for a private box, and soon pots of steaming crawfish were brought out. The scent of chili, garlic, and other spices swept the nasal cavity. The crawfish were all big and fat, which made people brimming with anticipation.

 

After clinking their beer glasses, Xie Yu Xing spoke first: "How did you sleep last night?"

 

Xie Yu Xing, himself, did not fall asleep the whole night last night.

 

His head was filled with what Ji Yu had said over the phone: [He’s probably gone].

 

With mixed feelings, he recalled the whole night again, and cried heavily into the quilt. Twice.

 

In the morning, he went to Ji Yu's house before it even turned light. However, when the bedroom door was opened and he saw the person sleeping in the bed, he had nothing to say.

 

Ji Yu dipped the crawfish meat into the sauce: "It was okay. Actually, I wasn’t particularly uncomfortable. So I kissed He Zhou, that’s nothing. Oh, and I was also bitten. But it's not a big deal for a man to be kissed or bitten in my world. Aside from that, how can I put it, the truly unbearable thing for me is becoming an Omega."

 

Looking back at last night, Ji Yu wasn't particularly scared. On the contrary, he was angry, thinking that He Zhou's dirty tricks were too hateful.

 

Perhaps Ji Yu still hadn’t fully embraced his current life, and a lot of his fundamental understanding still reflect that of his original world. He felt that, as a boy, it was nothing to be kissed. It was as if he was just bitten by a dog. Until the moment when something serious really happen, he would probably never know the real meaning of fear.

 

After all, it was the first time that he has to experience the feeling of being in a disadvantaged group.

 

His sense of immersion in this new world is still not very strong.

 

"What kind of ‘man’ is there where you came from?" Xie Yu Xing asked.

 

Ji Yu thought about his father: "Strong physique, can’t get pregnant, the pillar of the family, responsible for work and earning money, raising the family, and also teaching me to study. Overall, an exceptionally a great man."

 

"Isn't that an Alpha?"

 

Ji Yu added another sentence: "Doesn’t bite, doesn’t emit pheromone, and doesn’t mark."

 

Xie Yu Xing: "...Could you not talk about an Alpha like a dog."

 

Ji Yu: "Now that you mentioned it, the resemblance is striking."

 

Ji Yu licked his lips. This body doesn’t seem to like spicy food very much, and after only a few bites, his lips had already felt like they were about to burn. "So, what's the relationship between Ji Yu and He Zhou? What's the matter between the two of them?"

 

Xie Yu Xing put down the things in his hand, and after thinking for a while, he began to narrate:

 

"The two of them met in a bar.

 

In the beginning, the conditions in Ji Yu's family were not very good, so he wanted to pursue a career as a famous actor and find a good mate.⁷

 

At that time, a talent agency just happened to held an audition at his school, and he was selected. The photographer of that agency liked him very much and invited him to a bar, and said that he would help him, but… Tsk, you know, just because Ji Yu looks good and has no background, that bastard actually wanted to sleep with him for nothing."

 

"Scum." Ji Yu said disgustedly, "What then? Did your friend actually go?"

 

"Ah, he went."

 

Ji Yu widened his eyes: "...Is he stupid? Is it not clear that he was a little white rabbit who was about to be cheated?"

 

"It's quite silly." Xie Yu Xing raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yu seriously, "But he can't help it. Have you any idea how difficult Ji Yu's living conditions were at that time? I have known him for so many years and only saw him struggling alone. He was so poor that he couldn’t even afford a pheromone inhibitor."

 

"That year, he was about to turn eighteen, and on his birthday, his first estrus would arrive. He must either find a partner or take a suppressant. A suppressant cost 3,000 yuan, and the effect only lasts for one month."

 

Ji Yu: "Can't he just borrow money or work?"

 

"He only has one friend." Xie Yu Xing pointed to himself, "And I have no money to give him. Three thousand yuan a month was too expensive. Getting a part-time job was also not an option because no place would hire an underage Omega."

 

Ji Yu grabbed his beer glass and said nothing.

 

Xie Yu Xing continued: "So he went and wanted to take a gamble.

 

As a result, the photographer was a beast. That bastard actually asked him to engage in a gangbang with multiple people. Of course, Ji Yu refused and wanted to run, but where could he run to? In the end, he was given an aphrodisiac injection, which forced his estrus to come early. Those so-called ‘rich people’ just stood there, watching him rolling on floor in agony like some circus monkey. How ridiculous."

 

Xie Yu Xing sneered and shook his head, and then took out a cigarette, "I'm a little annoyed, I want to have a smoke. Do you want one?"

 

"No, you smoke, I don't need it."

 

"Ok."

 

The cigarette was lit, and Xie Yu Xing inhaled sharply before exhaling a smoke ring.

 

"It just so happened that there was a group activity in He Zhou's basketball club that day, and he was also at the bar. Being a destined pair, with a pheromone matching rate as high as 100%, He Zhou naturally could feel Ji Yu’s existence.

 

In that moment, Ji Yu was saved by He Zhou, and then, as you know, he became pregnant with little Yu Zhou.

 

The He family is a distinguished family, and He Zhou is their best son. For them, Ji Yu is naturally unworthy. However, with such a high degree of matching and a child on the way, they had to give in and terminate He Zhou’s previous marriage contract. They also arranged for Ji Yu to go to school, and said that when the child is born, they will give Ji Yu everything he needs."

 

"Ji Yu didn't care whether He Zhou like him, nor did he like the He family. He just wanted to get his foot in the door of the He family and wanted to have a formal title as their son-in-law. Everything was going well. Until..."

 

Ji Yu asked: "Until?"

 

Xie Yu Xing looked at Ji Yu: "Until, when he was only five months pregnant, he gave birth to little Yu Zhou. The child did not seem to be born prematurely. In fact, the child had developed very well and was born as grown as a normal child."

 

Ji Yu said in surprise: "Then, is He Zhou really the father?"

 

Xie Yu Xing did not say yes or no, only: "Ji Yu said that the child is He Zhou's, and I also believed him because only He Zhou has marked him. How could the child not belong to He Zhou? But after two paternity tests, the results showed that little Yu Zhou is not He Zhou's child.

 

You know the rest of the story. Ji Yu and little Yu Zhou were sent away, and the He family gave Ji Yu the house and some money as compensation, which is already considered very kind of them. From then on, there was no more contact."

 

Ji Yu thought for a while and said, "Did someone purposely caused trouble?"

 

"The whole paternity testing process was monitored, and no problems were detected. Since Ji Yu asked them to do it a second time, he personally monitored the second test. There was no problem in any of the processes, but the result was still that little Yu Zhou has no blood relationship with He Zhou."

 

Ji Yu has nothing to say: "...Must be magic."

 

"Who knows.”

 

“Speaking of which, I haven't actually contacted Ji Yu during the entirety of summer vacation. He called me the morning you transmigrated over and said that he wanted to go to school with me."

 

Ji Yu: "He asked you to come to collect his body."

 

"You speak so direct." Xie Yu Xing smiled, "But you are right."

 

After that, both of them were silent, only the light-gray smoke was still lingering in the air.

 

Ji Yu took a sip of beer in silence.

 

In this story, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong.

 

Originally, He Zhou and Ji Yu have nothing in common. They are only forcibly pulled together because of their pheromone. The original Ji Yu maybe in the right, and He Zhou may also be in the right, but it is little Yu Zhou that is the most innocent.

 

However, it’s a fact that little Yu Zhou was born in just five months, and it was verified that he did not share He Zhou's genetics.

 

The original Ji Yu felt that there was no problem with himself, no problem with He Zhou, and no problem with the testing process, so the problem could only lies with little Yu Zhou.

 

"He Zhou certainly wouldn’t want to see little Yu Zhou, but the original Ji Yu also didn't like him either, did he?" Ji Yu asked.

 

"En, it’s seemed that it was He Zhou who first held little Yu Zhou when he was born."

 

Ji Yu sighed.

 

No wonder little Yu Zhou is always quiet, without crying or making trouble.

 

No wonder little Yu Zhou shouted so happily when he called out to his father, but he never called out to his mother. After crying out for so long with no answer from his mother, he finally went silent.

 

"I don't want to eat anymore." Ji Yu took off the disposable gloves and threw them onto the table.

 

He suddenly became a little angry. What’s with all these things, ah?!

 

Xie Yu Xing: "Yet you still ordered so much." ⁸

 

Ji Yu looked up at him: "We are considered people on the same side now, right? You won’t spread my business around, right?"

 

"Of course not." Xie Yu Xing became aware of something, and put down the cup in his hand. "What do you want to do?"

 

"Little Yu Zhou has a pheromone deficiency, and desperately needs He Zhou's pheromone. So, I have to get He Zhou's clothes first."

 

Ji Yu suddenly twisted his eyebrows, looking puzzled, "Wait, that’s not right. The thing little Yu Zhou lacks is his father's pheromone. If He Zhou isn't his father, how could he react so much to He Zhou's pheromone?"

 

Ji Yu pointed to his neck, "Little Yu Zhou called out Dad several times at the place where I was marked."

2)      哼 (heng) could mean either a snort or a hum. 

3)      走 (go) is a directive/command for ‘let’s go out.’ Also, 守身 means to defend one’s chastity/integrity/virginity.

4)      麻小 (ma xiao) is a spicy crayfish dish made with 13 different Sichuan spices. Funnily enough, 麻 (ma) alone means cannabis. Almost had a mini heart attack there for a sec.

5)      噗嗤 (pu chi): an internet term, usually a sound, made after hearing something happy and funny or to express a laugh or chuckle. Snigger/snort

Lyrus: "I don't want to move…everything is tired." Ji Yu is such a mood. Also, sneaking off to day-drinking and pig out on street food. Something tells me Ji Yu isn’t the perfect motherly role-model lol. Ah, the first secret is out, it’s time for drama. Poor little Yu Zhou, don’t worry baby, I’ll always believe in you.
