Chapter 98: Is Baby Getting Shy?

Chapter 98: Is Baby Shy?

Du Yang couldn't bring himself to call her "Mom"; the title was unfamiliar and awkward for him.

"Auntie, can I call you Auntie?" Du Yang felt a bit embarrassed but honestly expressed his thoughts.

Chi Xinya was easy to talk to. If he didn't call her now, he would later on—play the long game to reel in the big fish.

"Of course, no problem. Call me whatever you like." The more Chi Xinya looked at Du Yang, the more she liked him. She joked, "I wouldn't mind if you called me 'big sister'."

Startled, Du Yang said, "Auntie, that won't do. It would mess up the family hierarchy."

"You're such a funny kid. Auntie won't tease you anymore."

Chi Xinya's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled. No wonder her son liked him so much—he was so adorable that even she liked him.

Entering the cafeteria, following Chi Xinya, Du Yang saw the "gift" she had mentioned and just wanted to black out and escape the cringe.

"Yangyang and Xiao Yan's Love Food"

Chi Xinya had rented these food stalls from the principal and decorated them very... flashily, almost luxuriously.

The cafeteria was large enough; Chi Xinya had someone set up a special booth for "Yangyang and Xiao Yan's Love Food" overnight, and also a private room reserved just for Du Yang.

The booth was plastered with photos of him and Fu Yan: Fu Yan hugging him yesterday, Fu Yan picking him up from school, the two of them sharing an umbrella, and even a photo from yesterday morning of Fu Yan standing by the car sending him off to school.

These photos overlapped heavily with those on the forum, leading Du Yang to wonder if Ms. Chi Xinya was secretly the biggest CP fan lurking on the forum.

The chef hired was from a five-star hotel, so the dishes naturally were top-notch among the cafeterias at A University.

Due to the fame of Du Yang and Fu Yan, the booth was packed, and the dishes all sold out in half an hour. Fortunately, they could still order stir-fry dishes.

Du Yang and Chi Xinya ate in the private room. The food tasted great, and Du Yang ate a lot.

Although it felt mortifying, the feeling of being cherished and taken care of was still very sweet.

Du Yang knew that Chi Xinya had taken over the cafeteria windows not to make money, but to ensure he could eat well at school.

It was just... too high-profile. Du Yang felt mortified, so he used a bathroom break to send a distress signal to Fu Yan.

In the end, after both Du Yang and Fu Yan insisted, Ms. Chi Xinya agreed to put all the photos in one small display area instead of spreading them everywhere, but the name couldn't be changed.

After finishing the meal, Du Yang said goodbye to Chi Xinya and returned to the classroom to study.

As soon as he left, the stern-faced Fu Xing slipped in.

"Is Du Yang satisfied?"

"I can tell Du Yang really likes it." Chi Xinya gracefully held a cup of milk tea; she and Du Yang each had one.

"Wife, next time let me join too."

Fu Xing tried to butter her up by massaging her shoulders, but she flat-out refused him.

"You'd just keep a straight face and scare Du Yang away," Chi Xinya analyzed seriously. "Xiao Yan finally succeeded in confessing at his age. Don't hold him back. When they get married, I'll bring you along."

While the parents were discussing Fu Yan's confession, Grandpa Fu was happily sharing the video of Fu Yan's confession with Grandma Lu on his phone.

"See that? My grandson finally made something of himself! He dared to confess in front of so many people!"

"My eldest grandson has a partner now, but yours is still single!"

Grandma Lu was originally watching the video of Fu Yan confessing to Du Yang with a grin from ear to ear, when she saw that annoying old buddy bring up his eldest grandson again.

What a pain.

Grandma Lu stopped typing and sent a voice message directly.

"What are you showing off about! Your eldest grandson confessed to my youngest grandson."

"Xiao Yan did so well yesterday! Grandma is really pleased! Extremely pleased with the future grandson-in-law!"

Grandpa Fu sat in his rocking chair, staring at his phone screen with the classic "old man on the subway looking at phone" expression.

He listened to it over and over again.

Finally, he asked uncertainly, "Have you already accepted Du Yang as your grandson?"

Du Yang returned to the classroom to continue studying. At noon, there were only a few classmates in the room.

He Lin quietly slipped into the classroom and sat next to Du Yang. Du Yang glanced at him, expressionless, and looked away.

The image of He Lin's smug face from his dream resurfaced, and Du Yang felt a wave of nausea.

Seeing that Du Yang didn't react, He Lin took the initiative to whisper, "Du Yang, are you really with Fu Yan? What Fu Yan did yesterday, wasn't it a delaying tactic, a scheme to save face for the Fu family?"

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Du Yang looked at He Lin mockingly. "Don't talk to me. I'm just a streamer, making you lose face."

He Lin was taken aback. He did think Du Yang's livestreaming was shameful, but he couldn't help liking Du Yang.

"The Fu family is good at PR; it's all just for show. Don't take it too seriously, or one day when Fu Yan dumps you, you'll be crying."

"You might as well just be with me. At least I'm sincere with you and want to have a proper relationship with you."

He Lin propped his head on one hand, looking at Du Yang with infatuation. "Besides, I'm younger than Fu Yan."

The young man looked up, his beautiful eyes held a hint of mocking amusement. His voice was low but every word was clear.

"I'm not worthy of hanging out with Young Master He. Young Master Lu Yu of the Lu family is the one worthy of playing with you. You two are childhood sweethearts. Why are you clinging to me?"

"Du Yang! You!" He Lin's expression changed, then as if suddenly realizing something, he took a deep breath. "Who's childhood sweethearts with him? Your enemy is my enemy too. Du Yang, just wait. I'll make him pay for this!"

Watching He Lin's hurried retreating figure, Du Yang turned away and went back to studying.

In his past life, He Lin had probably said the same kind of thing to Lu Yu.

After school in the afternoon, Du Yang left the teaching building with his backpack.

Fu Yan was standing by the Maybach waiting for him, wearing a well-tailored suit that showed off his great physique—broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and a striking presence.

One look was enough to make Du Yang blush. Seeing the man walk toward him, he sped up.

The young man's flushed face and shy expression were obvious to Fu Yan. He calmly took the backpack and reached out to take the young man's hand, wanting to lace their fingers together—even for just a few steps.

But the kid

"Baby, are you shy?" Fu Yan fastened his seatbelt and started the car, a joyful smile dancing in his eyes.

Seeing the kid blush and tacitly agree, there was laughter in Fu Yan's voice. "Shall we go to Yangyang and Xiao Yan's Beloved Eats for dinner?"

"No way!" The young man grimaced, his voice soft and sweet. "If you go, there'll probably be a new hot post on the forum tomorrow."

Watching the young man's shy, slightly ruffled demeanor, Fu Yan's heart felt both sweet and tender, his voice full of affection. "Alright, then I'll take Yangyang out to eat somewhere else."

So cute it kills me. I want to kiss him.

Fu Yan acted on his impulse. Before the car left the campus, at an intersection, he turned onto a quiet side road, parked, unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, clasped the young man's neck, and kissed him deeply.

Du Yang blinked in shock, his lashes fluttering wildly a few times before he instinctively closed his eyes, responding to Fu Yan's movements and gripping the fabric of his suit jacket tightly.

The car was parked by the roadside, with occasional passersby nearby. Someone coming from the front might inadvertently see what was happening inside, but Fu Yan didn't care. They were an open couple—he couldn't wait for the whole world to know that Du Yang was his.

After a while, the young man's lips were slightly swollen, his breath light and uneven, his eyes misty. He pressed close to Fu Yan's ear and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother, let's do it tonight."
