You've Got Mail: Cautionary Tale (YGMCT)

Chapter 61 - The Various Emotions of Life, And So It Goes

Marry a wife and have a child? Stunned, Wu Xingzi stared at Guan Shanjin’s foreboding, dark expression, and shook his head stupidly.

Why would he marry a wife? Why would he have a child? What he liked were big pengornises! Even if he wanted to find someone to spend the rest of his life with, he would only seek out a pengornis that appealed to him!

He dared not even touch a finger of any females. In his life, the only females that Wu Xingzi ever had physical contact with were his mother and Auntie Liu.

Looking at Wu Xingzi’s dazed expression, Guan Shanjin registered that he had vent his anger on someone innocent. Scrubbing his face, he sighed deeply, and his voice was apologetic. “I was wrong, don’t be angry with me.”

Right, Wu Xingzi and Lu Zezhi were different. Right from their first meeting, it had been evident that Wu Xingzi cared for the pengornis and not the man. Could an old fellow like this even marry a wife and have a child? It was more probable that he had never even thought about it.

“What’s wrong?” Naturally, Wu Xingzi would not be angry with Guan Shanjin. He was only curious. Logically speaking, Guan Shanjin and Mr. Lu had finally confirmed their affections for each other, and so he should be happy! Yet why was he… a little weary?

Wu Xingzi’s heart ached a little. Pulling at Guan Shanjin, he sat up, then after a moment of thought, he carefully pressed Guan Shanjin’s head into his chest, patting that satin-like hair gently.

“Tell me about it?”

Guan Shanjin’s eyes fell half-lidded, leaning into Wu Xingzi’s arms comfortably. The old fellow was thin, and his chest barely had any muscles on it. However, it still felt very warm, and the scent was mild and enchanting. Taking in a few breaths, the stifling in Guan Shanjin’s chest dissipated.

He reached out, wrapping his arms around Wu Xingzi’s slender waist, enjoying the rare warmth. Thinking about it, it was rather funny. When the two of them were together, they were always either eating or having sex. Among the desires of life, they neglected neither food nor sex, but both did not confide much in each other. Guan Shanjin had yet to even be aware of what exactly Wu Xingzi’s ancestors used to do. He only had a vague idea that Wu Xingzi’s father should not be just a simple scholar. Ignoring how a scholar from a tiny, rural place could play the qin and write poetry, as though there was nothing he could not do, it was impossible that people like him who were the cream of the crop would just remain at a provincial level, willingly staying in his hometown and becoming a teacher, while raising a family on the bare minimum.

In the past, Guan Shanjin had no interest in knowing. Now, he had lost the opportunity to ask after him.

It was just as well. In his life, Guan Shanjin had met with countless dilemmas, and this was nothing big. He could plan slowly, and once things in the capital were settled, he would have lots of time to spend with Wu Xingzi.

Still, there was something that he had to find out right now.

“Are you the only descendant left of the Wu family? Do you still have any other relatives?” It was rather amusing if he thought about it. Whether it was Guan Shanjin, Lu Zezhi, or Wu Xingzi, all three of them were the last one in their family. Yet for them to come together in such a situation, it could only be said that the heavens were making a fool of everyone.
