(👁️👄👁️) "I… Wenlang! It’s not like I’m angry with you or anything! The fact that you don’t hate me and ou… my baby even after knowing the truth is already something I couldn’t have imagined in my dreams before. I know how much you hate omegas, and I also know you had your reasons. Yes, it definitely hurt me when you said those things about omegas, but I understood you. That’s why I stayed with you for so many years, even after all those harsh words toward omegas.

But now... I want you to understand me too. I can’t let my baby face all this. I don’t want him to feel unloved. I love him! And I think it’s better to…"

At that moment, the waiters started bringing the food. So the words Gao Tu wanted to say got stuck in his throat. But he still has to tell Wenlang. He needs to tell Wenlang—everything.

…Tell him what, though!?😮‍💨

[Sorry, I feel like this reply is really bad😭 I’m as flabbergasted as Gao Tu at Wenlang’s sudden confession😅.... The first problem is that Wenlang didn’t really confess the main things—like his feelings for Gao Tu, or that he doesn’t actually want Gao Tu to leave. So reacting as *Gao Tu* not knowing anything, is kinda tricky (But please, don’t rush the main confession for it, do it in the right time!). Secondly, yes, I can imagine Wenlang acting like this, but our poor Gao Tu has suffered so much that I honestly don’t know what his reaction would be if Wenlang truly said these things🫠😭 So feel free to suggest something if you already have an idea; I can even edit this reply based on that😓]

Gao Tu definitely has wanted to talk in private, but like this…!?😅 Something is seriously wrong with Wenlang today, but Gao Tu can't figure out what it is. Wenlang feels unrealistically comforting—even after confessing something that big yesterday! Shouldn’t Wenlang hate him!? Then why is he…!?😮‍💨

No, wait, that’s not even the main problem right now. Even though Gao Tu is a little worried about what Wenlang is going to say, Wenlang's behavior has already made him relax a lot—he’s not fearing the worst anymore.

But the real question is: why is Wenlang still staring at him!? Didn’t Gao Tu already check his face in the car!? Should he go check again in the washroom!?

"Umm... I don’t know what to order. Can you please order for me too?😅 I'm okay with anything😊"

Gao Tu got ready as fast as he could because Wenlang was waiting for him, but when he stepped out of the room, things instantly felt awkward. Wenlang was staring at him. Was there something on his face!? Possibly… He did get ready really quick, so...😓

Wenlang was the first to talk—more like the only one. He said he would be the driver for today and that Gao Tu had no say in it. Well, it’s not like Gao Tu was planning to argue anyway. Didn’t he already agree they would go together!?

But Gao Tu was completely stunned when Wenlang actually helped him with the car door. Gao Tu thanked him and got into the car. The ride was as quiet as the previous day, but something had changed. Something really had changed. But what was it!?

Gao Tu thought they were just going out for a simple breakfast. Even when Wenlang told him he had made a reservation, he didn’t think much of it. But the place Wenlang drove him to was definitely not suitable for a normal, casual breakfast! And on top of that, there was no one else in the restaurant except them and the staff! Gao Tu’s gut was telling him Wenlang had booked the entire place for them, but why!?

“Shen Wenlang! Isn’t this place a little too fancy for just a regular breakfast!? And why is there no one else here except us!?”

[Ah! It's okay, don’t worry. I actually love spoilers. The more spoilers I get, the more excited I become—unless the spoiler is something like: “the ending is actually the worst ending possible”😭 And also I don’t really have plans to read it anytime soon because of my exams! (I’m literally struggling to even watch some of the series lately!🥲)

And yeah! I’m also really excited about their first date, but as a born single, I have zero idea how a date even works. So it’s your duty to guide me through it 😁😅🫣 Let’s go…]

😨😧😐(😮‍💨) Okay! Let's talk after breakfast! Give me 5 minutes to get ready, then you can come with me for breakfast. For now, wait here, okay!?

[I also thought their main deep talk would happen after breakfast—more like after Gao Tu got a little more comfortable with Wenlang after yesterday's big confession. I just thought Wenlang might try to talk since he was really worried about Gao Tu leaving him, and then GT would suddenly get hungry😅 But okay! Let's just let them have their breakfast date first, because I don’t think Wenlang will let Gao Tu stay hungry for long and will talk to him like that!🫠 (No one can think straight when they're hungry, I think🤔—let alone having "their" first heart-to-heart!🫢 Nope! Let them eat first 🫠)

And yeah! Even though I haven’t read Jinx yet, I still know a little about it 😅]

Ah! Umm... no, no, it’s okay! I can go eat by myself, you don’t need to bother with it, really!😅 And I also need some time to freshen up before going. So you can go first if you’re also…

[And here, I thought they’d at least talk a little before going on their breakfast date — that’s why I kept asking😓🥲

Also... thanks!☺️]

[Girl! At least give me some informations so I can keep up with my replies😭 Wenlang is here to talk with Gao Tu about everything, but even after asking him 2–3 times, he still hasn’t really said anything useful😭 And I can’t make Gao Tu ask again — he said "no" right to my face🤧 sorry naa... so...]

Gao Tu still doesn’t understand what Wenlang is actually rambling about or why he was worried about him and their... him—!? 😮‍💨

"Oh! Umm... I’ll go to the company tomorrow. But I think you should go now, you’re already late for the office. Since you now know I’m okay and you don’t have anything else to say... (Gao Tu’s stomach suddenly starts growling)....😓... Umm... Sorry about that... I think I’m a little hungry, I haven’t really eaten anything since yesterday, that’s why, I guess 😅

[Not really! Many people were injured and even died.... now everyone is terrified because the earthquakes kept repeating. And there’s also this talk that there could be a big one anytime soon...😅 Pray for all of us...

And please don’t mind if my replies are a little late because I was already busy with my studies for my exams — and now this! I’m really sorry about it 😓]

Gao Tu followed Wenlang’s gaze toward his belly and then touched it, trying to understand what Wenlang had just meant. Has he started to care about their…!? No, no, wait!

“Yeah, I’m okay. What could possibly have happened to me!? But why did you tell me to text you in the morning!? Do you need something!? What is it!?”

[Oh! That’s a beautiful country! And I’m from Bangladesh (we had a medium-level earthquake yesterday and 2 more small ones today, that’s why I’m a little late.😅 But don’t worry, I’m okay!)

And yeah, I understand — we’ve been creating this mess for almost two months now, so it’s really hard to remember every detail. It’s okay naa! 😊]

I know you came here in your car, but I meant... okay (😮‍💨), fine! But I’ve slept enough, I’m not sleeping again😒 And I also know you have many capable people, so it won’t be a problem for you after I’m gone — but I can’t just let others work more like that because I’m not being responsible enough with my work! Umm... still, thanks for the day off though, since I’m really not feeling that—!😮‍💨 Now tell me, why did you call me so many times, and what were those messages about!? I really haven’t checked them yet... (🤨)

[I know, girl! I know! I was just teasing you about your taste in men (not really, I was just... 😅😁) And yeah, I get that in villages that kind of thing might really happen, but here it’s actually a bit too much — the neighbours aren’t just nosy, they gossip like it’s their lawful right 😅😆
Btw, which country are you from (if you don’t mind telling☺️)?

And about driving Wenlang to his office — I think you misunderstood. I didn’t say Gao Tu meant Wenlang came without his car. He suggested driving Wenlang’s car to take Wenlang to the office, and I thought that was pretty normal! 😓 Gao Tu is his secretary, and their relationship isn’t even that developed yet, so... 😅

Also, girl! We literally made Gao Tu sleep for more than 12 hours, and now you made Wenlang say he hasn’t slept enough!?🫠 I think you might be forgetting our previous replies — Wenlang brought him home before office hours even ended, he went straight to bed without even cleaning up, and now he woke up at 9:30 a.m. the very next day!]

Gao Tu was watching Wenlang speak, trying to process what he had just heard. Did he really say he was worried about him and his... no, their! He said their! No, no, that can’t be true. It must be a misunderstanding. Wenlang is probably very uncomfortable right now about him and his child 😮‍💨 But then... why did Wenlang hug him like that!? Wait—am I still dreaming!?

“Aa...ah! No, I don’t need anything, and it’s okay. I actually should have woken up earlier. It’s already office hour! How did I even forget to set the alarm!? Umm... maybe I was just a little too tired yesterday 😅

By the way, will you wait for me so I can take you there, or are you heading out already? If you’re not in a hurry, then... don’t leave just yet! Give me a few minutes—I’ll get ready really fast, and then we can go together. I need to clear my work before leaving the company, you know! 😅 But if you’re in a hurry, then you can lea—…”

[Haha! Gao Tu just doesn’t want his neighbours knowing anything about his gossipy life, I guess! 🤣🤣🤣 (Okay, as a typical Asian kid, I just can’t let those neighbours snack on my Gao Tu like that! My poor boy has already suffered enough! 🤧)

And my taste in men... is definitely not questionable. That’s exactly why I fell for Gao Tu 🙂‍↔️🤣]

Wenlang suddenly pulled Gao Tu into a hug the moment the door opened—so fast that Gao Tu didn’t even get to finish his sentences. He froze in shock for a few seconds before he finally managed to stammer:

“I—I’m okay! But why are you here!? Shouldn’t you be at the office right now!? Did something happen? Why did you call me so many times? I didn’t see it because I was sleeping and… I forgot to set the alarm! But what actually happened!?
Do you want me to drive you there? Then you’ll have to wait a bit—I literally just woke up from your knocking, so… 😅

But um… when exactly are you planning to let go of me? Everyone is staring!”

Only then does he notice the neighbors peeking from the hallway, watching them still tangled together.

“Do you… want to come inside? Let’s talk inside.”

[Then make our date the most beautiful day of my life and I’ll stop calling you an idiot! 🤧

Girl, you can’t fall for your own character!
(Who said that!? Just fall harder! 🤣)]

Gao Tu was playing with his child when he heard a voice calling his name. The clearer the voice became, the more it sounded like Wenlang. But how could it be Wenlang!? Isn’t he at the office? No, wait... something doesn’t feel right. Shouldn't Wenlang hate him — and his child — after knowing the truth? Then why is he—!?

“Gao Tu! Gao Tu! Gao Tu!”

Ah! Who is calling him!?

Gao Tu opens his eyes — “Wait! Where am I!?” It’s... it’s his bed. “It was a dream!?” No, wait! That voice is still coming from somewhere! Gao Tu sits up in bed. The sound is coming from outside the door. Wenlang is here! But... why!?

Gao Tu grabs his phone to check the time — it’s already 9:30 a.m. He should be at the office, and so should Wenlang! But he somehow forgot to set his alarm today!😮‍💨 [Noh! We turned it off 🫢]

But more importantly, Wenlang has called him many times — and there are lots of messages too, which he can’t check right now or Wenlang will definitely break the door down.

What is Wenlang doing here though!? From the way he’s calling, it sounds like something bad has happened! But if that were the case, shouldn’t he be at the company right now!?

Gao Tu gets out of bed, walks to the door, and takes a deep breath before finally opening it.

Wenlang is standing there with a nervous… or maybe worried expression. Anyone could tell he didn’t sleep well last night, and he clearly rushed here for some reason. What could it be!?

“What are you doing here!? Why do you look like this!? Has something bad happen—!?”

[Haha, I can guess that I probably don’t want to know *anyone’s* mind judging from the thoughts I have! And I also have experience being the only girl in a boys' group, even though I wasn’t close to them — I didn’t even talk to most of them because it was an online tuition class during lockdown. Before and after lockdown, I was in a different batch with the girls. But I did talk to some of them, and two even became my friends, so... 😅

And don’t worry, I love my single life too much 😆 Then I have you — my Wenlang, father of my child — a big idiot but at least cares about me!😂 But where the heck did ChatGPT make his wild-card entry from!?🤣

About the date — they can spend the whole day together, actually! From breakfast to dinner. And then Wenlang can drop him home… unless he wants to take Gao Tu to *his* home already! 🤭]

....😴....

[Okay, now I’m more than happy (because my overthinker a$s thought multiple times that you might already be bored or annoyed with it 🤧🫣). So don’t worry — my room’s ghosts are always ready to turn off alarms. Just tell me if one day Wenlang’s alarm needs to be turned off, I’ll handle that too🤗

And yes! Yes! Yes! Let’s take them on a date🤭 I’m honestly more excited about their first date than my own now (well... maybe because I don’t even have one!?🥲 At this point I might actually earn Achi and Adachi’s mind-reading powers one day🫠 Wait— why the heck am I attacking myself like this!?🤦‍♀️) Anyway, yeah! A date is a good idea. It could be like:

Wenlang comes to talk to Gao Tu at his house, but Gao hasn’t woken up yet. He wakes up only because Wenlang is at his door. They talk for a bit, but then Gao Tu’s stomach starts growling, so Wenlang takes him out for breakfast. (But I can’t think of anything for the dinner date — do you have any ideas yet!?) Then, since Wenlang thinks Gao Tu is still upset about yesterday, he can take GT to a few places to help him relax. And at night, Wenlang can confess his feelings(🙄🤔😮‍💨) or at least say he doesn’t have any problem with Gao Tu being an omega and about Lele… (but will he actually do that though!? 🙂)

If you have better ideas, we can go with those too…]

....😴....

[But can our poor Gao Tu really get any nice dream after everything he went through yesterday!?🫥]

[Okay, I'm personally turning off Gao Tu’s alarm, so don’t worry — he’s not waking up anytime soon😆 Let him sleep, and hurry Wenlang over to GT’s place...

And honestly, I totally relate — I’m such an overthinker too. I, myself, don’t even know how many versions I run through in my head before replying to you🫠 But I’m already enjoying this version, so let’s just stick with this plan of yours]

[Ehm 2... I know Wenlang cared about Gao Tu — he even loved him too. But the problem is, Gao Tu doesn’t know that. Their main issue was *no communication and too much overthinking*. So... I don’t think Gao Tu will reply to Wenlang in the morning 😅 and he’ll probably even try to ignore him at the office. But he’ll definitely go to the company, since he told Wenlang he would. So at most, Wenlang might call someone to ask for Gao Tu to come to his office, since Gao Tu is now working on a different floor after submitting his resignation letter.

“Wenlang bro! calling Gao Tu *yours*... I’m taking that as your character development 🤣”

But you know what!? I felt the same kind of happiness I get when an episode is more than one hour long after seeing this reply of yours!🫠🫣]

Gao Tu watches Wenlang stand there for a few minutes from the window — maybe waiting for an answer, hesitating as if unsure whether he should knock again or just leave. And then… he walks away.

Gao Tu keeps staring at the path Wenlang just took, even long after Wenlang was gone. Only when his chest tightens does he finally let out a quiet sigh.

Then he drags himself to the bedroom and collapses onto the bed like someone who has just survived a long, exhausting battle — no energy left, mind completely blank. But a battle… with whom, exactly—!?

So... should I go to the company tomorrow or not!? Haven’t you said I don't need to—!? Okay, I will. I haven’t finished transferring the work yet. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely handle it before leaving the company, Bye! (Goes inside the house and closes the door in a hurry!)

But, Wenlang... I... You don’t need to... Ahh!😮‍💨 Okay! Let’s go...

[Ohhhh! Okay, I got it (definitely didn’t!🫠 Kidding!😁.... Not really!😬🙄)

Parentnity!? Omeganity!?🤔🫠🤣 Girl!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyway—one thing! In one of my previous replies, I already wrote that Gao Tu opened his house’s door, but you said they are still in front of the building. So... should I try to edit that reply of mine?😅]

Okay... but... but I haven’t finished transferring the work yet. If I don’t go to the company, then—

[No, no, it’s okay, chill! I just said that to let you know — you don’t have to apologize for it. I’m pretty sure I’ve made tons of mistakes before too.😅 But I think we’re mixing up the timeline again. My previous reply was the scene during the ride to Gao Tu’s home and after they arrived, but yours sounds like they’re still at the office, with Wenlang saying he’ll take Gao home but won’t stay.😅🫠

Also, I have a few other questions — when will Wenlang return? How long will the separation last? Who talks first afterward (I feel like Wenlang should — meaning you’ll have to start with that scene)!? Are we going to write anything about their time apart? How will Wenlang reach out to Gao Tu — and why? Will he come just to talk, or after realizing he can’t stay away anymore? And won’t Gao Tu move houses like in the novel and the series? If not, then why?]

(The drive was steeped in quiet — not the peaceful kind, but the kind that presses against your chest. Gao Tu stared out the window, lost somewhere between dread and exhaustion, while Wen Lang’s thoughts drifted in directions even he couldn’t name. When they arrived, Wen Lang walked him up to his door. Gao Tu opened the door with trembling hands and—)

Mr. Shen, do you have to hurry back!? Do you... want to come inside!? (What am I even doing!? I should make him leave, not invite him inside even though!... even though I know he won’t come, he might even never want to see my face again and I...—!?😮‍💨 Goodbye, Wen Lang, goodbye... ten years of my love and the urge to stay by your side might end just like this😞🥺)

[Ahh! No worries! It's not my first language either, that's why I got that confused, I guess. And makes so many mistakes😅 But why does this reply sound like you’re giving a summary of what happens afterward!?🫠 I mean, okay, that's exactly what you did actually! Oh! But please try to keep your words different from the character dialogues or inner thoughts like before, that really helps while reading it!😅]

Umm... I... didn’t mean it like that...😓 I... Okay, fine, you can take me home today (for the very last time, I guess)! But what do you mean by “I’ll get money from this day as if I were here”!?(🤨)

[Well, Wenlang doesn’t even know what he’s doing is actually the most reasonable thing he could do😆 Hua Yong, please lend some brain cells to Wenlang—he really needs them right now🤣(and some to me too🥲) Btw, what did you actually mean when Wenlang said, “you’ll get money from this day as if you were here”? Will Gao Tu get a paid leave for today, or will Wenlang keep paying him even though he’s not at work!?]
