I Found Myself Pregnant After Becoming An Omega 22.1
Chapter 22: You Were A Rare Case (1/2)
The next day, Ji Yu, refreshed and
full of energy, took Little Yu Zhou out alone.
This was their
first outing together.
At first, Ji Yu
thought that everything would be simple, but when he looked at the bulging
child-care bag prepared by the nanny, he was dumbfounded.
Upon opening the bag:
Diapers, feeding bottles, thermos bottles filled with hot water,
portable milk powder, paper towels, small jackets, small hats... all kinds of
things were stuffed inside, making it quite heavy.
At first, Ji Yu had wanted to take Little Yu Zhou to stroll around
the public lake park1, opposite
of his residential area, for some fresh air. However, he couldn’t get into the
mood for the lake at all, and decided to head to their destination directly.
“You like cars, right?”
Ji Yu, sitting in the backseat of a cab, was looking out the
window and pointed to the passing scenery to Little Yu Zhou. 2
Little Yu Zhou, however, didn’t seem
to be interested in the scenery outside. Instead, he lowered his head and moved
his fleshy little hands onto everything inside the car. Touching here and
there, digging this and that, his eyes was gleaming with focus.
After a while,
Little Yu Zhou moved to the window. He touched the glass with his fingers and
began aggressively knocking on it with his hands.
“O, yoh?” Little Yu Zhou patted the window and looked up at Ji Yu
in surprise, “Yoh!”
Ji Yu smiled, “What it is?”
Hearing Ji Yu response, Little Yu Zhou
got more excited and his “yoh” got even louder. His hands continue rapping on
the glass window.
Ji Yu quickly grabbed the child’s
hands: “You can’t bang on the car windows. This is very bad, understand?”
Little Yu Zhou looked down at his
hands, then at Ji Yu, and then let out an ignorant “Ah.” 3
Ji Yu took out a bag of wet wipes from
his bag, lowered his head, and begin wiping Little Yu Zhou’s hands.
After a while, one of the two meaty
little paws stained with dust became clean again.
Ji Yu: “Change to the other hand. Do
you know what ‘change to the other hand’ means?”
“Wu?” Little Yu Zhou looked at his hands in confusion.
Ji Yu didn’t immediately answer.
Instead, when Little Yu Zhou looked over, he pressed his lips onto the child’s
remaining hand, implying that the child should stretch it out.
Unexpectedly, an accident happens at
this moment!
The cab driver slammed on the brakes,
and the harsh braking sound rang out into everyone’s ears.
Ji Yu and the child was thrown
forward, but he reacted quickly. He firmly held on to Little Yu Zhou with one
hand, while pushing the front seat with his other hand. He tried his best to
create as much space around Little Yu Zhou as possible to prevent the child
from getting crush.
Fortunately, the accident was minor,
and the car was only scratched up a little.
Ji Yu was not injured, only a little
frightened. His forehead did hit the back of the chair in front of him, which
hurt a little, but didn't break the skin.
Ji Yu didn’t even bothered with
himself, and immediately check to see if Little Yu Zhou was injured.
Little Yu Zhou seemed to be petrified. His little hands tightly
grasped onto Ji Yu's clothes, and his whole person shrunk into Ji Yu’s arms. Mist
had begun gathering in Little Yu Zhou’s eyes, and it seemed that he was about
to cry in the next second.
Ji Yu picked up the child and checked
to make sure he didn’t bump into anything. Then he lowered his head, kissed the
child’s forehead, and patted the child’s back: “It’s alright. It’ll be alright.”
Ji Yu opened the door and got out of
the car. The cab driver was already outside, talking to two young people.
Before he could figure out what
happened, Ji Yu remained silent. He pressed down his anger and approached the
driver to listen to what they were saying. However, when the two young people
saw him, they both looked at him in surprised.
“Ji Yu?”
“Ji Yu?”
Ji Yu blanked out for a second, a bit confused. 4
Who are these two
people? Do they know him? But he doesn’t know them.
…How should he
respond?
Before Ji Yu could react, the cab driver
came over and apologize, “Sorry, sorry. Was your child scared? It was just a
little bump, but I’ll wave the fare for you. You guys need to go to the
hospital for a check-up, right? If you want, I could send you there, free of
charge.”
Ji Yu didn’t answer, but asked, “Whose
fault is the accident?”
A tall young man answered, “It’s my
fault. I misjudged the distance between both cars.”
He took out his
phone and asked for the cab driver’s WeChat account, “Sir, why don’t we go to
the side and settle the matter first. There’s no need to make a big deal. I
admit, I was at fault.” 5
“Alright.” The cab driver nodded, and
then he turned to Ji Yu, “The car is fine, it can still be driven. I’ll take
you there in a bit, wait for me.”
“En.”
The accident was just a few scratches,
no one wants to make a big deal out of things.
The two drivers drove their cars to
the side of the road, and began discussing things among themselves. Ji Yu held
little Yu Zhou and stood on the sidewalk along with the other young man.
Ji Yu didn’t say a word, and neither
did the young man.
Ji Yu felt that the other person was
not very friendly towards him.
Despite knowing Ji Yu, the young man
had a cold and standoffish attitude. He didn’t even greet Ji Yu when they stood
together. From time to time, the young man would glanced at Ji Yu with a hint
of scrutiny, as if he was secretly judging something in his heart.
Was there any
animosity between him and the original Ji Yu?
Or did he
discover something was wrong after meeting Ji Yu just now?
“Ji Yu, long time no see.”
In the end, the young man spoke first.
Ji Yu replied: “Yes, long time no see.”
He raised his eyes to meet the young
man’s light brown eyes.
The young man raised his eyebrows,
“You don’t seem very surprised to see me.”
JI Yu remained silent.
The young man’s eyes became colder,
and, though his voice was soft, it did not sound gentle at all, “You know about
my return to the country? Did he tell you?”
Ji Yu: “…”
What the heck is
this guy talking about? Who is “he”?
Ji Yu didn’t
understand so he chose to remain quiet.
“I knew it.” The young man lowered his eyes, and smiled with
self-deprecation.
Ji Yu: “??”
“Does he treat you well?”
The young man put his hands in his pockets, and stare off into the
traffics in front of him, “I certainly didn’t expect you to be able to hook him
again. Not a bad trick, you poor little wench.”
