Chapter 557: Chen Mi’s woes.
Yu Dong left the treehouse, she didn’t think much of Fang Chi’s awkward attitude. Ever since he has gotten pregnant, his attitude has gone even shyer and he would hardly say anything to her lest she forced him to do so, right now however she was in a hurry to hunt some boar and didn’t have the time to wheedle for information from Fang Chi.
Inwardly she was thinking that Fang Chi was once again hesitant to tell her about what he wanted to eat in the night because that’s what he has been asking her these past few days.
The thought of him feeling itchy never came to her head given that he has never been outspoken about his desires to her, it has always been her who bullied him in the bed.
” What’s wrong?” Chen Mi placed a little bun on the small makeshift bed that he has made next to him and turned to look at Fang Chi who looked sullen with his head lowered. Ever since little bun was almost killed by the snake that snuck inside his room, he has been carrying little bun in his arms worried that the stalker will attack his son again. ” Why the long face?”
Fang Chi sighed and shook his head, what was he supposed to tell Chen Mi? That Yu Dong wasn’t paying enough attention to him? She has already given him more than he ever wished for, there was no way he could complain about something so … he didn’t even have a word to say to explain what he was feeling at the moment.
“It’s nothing, I am just tired I guess,” said Fang Chi as he bit his lip but his eyes were still glancing at the door of the treehouse as if Yu Dong will sense his need and come looking for him without him saying anything.
Chen Mi blinked his eyes before he turned his head to the side and then looked at the flush on Fang Chi’s cheeks before realisation dawned on him. ” Don’t tell me you are feeling frisky?”
Since the word needy or h*rny was too much for them to say out loud Yu Dong introduced this word that made them much more comfortable, seeing Fang Chi’s haze-filled look Chen Mi was more than aware of why he was looking like this.
” No!” Fang Chi denied a bit too quickly as he cleared his throat and then shook his head. “It’s nothing like that, I am just a bit tired and nothing more … I am speaking the truth I promise.”
” Hehe,” Chen Mi tucked little bun nicely in the bed and then bumped his shoulder with Fang Chi as he said, ” Don’t be so shy, I have been through this time and I know it better than anyone that a mer would start feeling hot when he crosses the mark of three months. There is nothing wrong with what you are feeling, we as mers get even more dependent on our wives or husband when we get pregnant. This is completely fine, you do not need to feel so awkward speaking about such things with me.”
” Really?” asked Fang Chi, his head a mess.
” Really,” Chen Mi gave him a nod. ” You do not need to be upset with all these feelings that you are feeling at the moment, mers are usually the weakest of all and we need constant support from our spouses when we get pregnant because that is when we are even more vulnerable if you are feeling the need to be with the wife it’s not the time for you to be acting so hesitant or you will only feel even more depressed day by day.”
This was something that Chen Mi was very familiar with, when he was pregnant with little bun, he too wanted to be close to Yu Dong. He knew that she did not care about him and maybe hated him too but he just wanted to be close to her, in his heart he knew that he was being foolish but the more he advanced with his pregnancy the more he wanted to hear some sweet words from his wife and later on the urge of being with her got even more intense but the former Yu Dong …heh.
She was busy chasing that Xiao Hua! Even when the latter did not pay attention to her, she would still go to the town every day and attend his shows. Back then he was like a concubine who has been abandoned after all of her sweetness has been sucked out of him.
Even when he tried to get close to Yu Dong, she scolded him for being too annoying. Saying that he was acting too much, that everyone in the village got pregnant and there was nothing unique about him being pregnant with a child. When he tried to explain what he was feeling, he only received slaps on his face for disturbing her sleep and becoming an obstacle while she was trying to chase Xiao Hua.
The previous Yu Dong even threatened him by saying that if he was to stop her from leaving then she would kill the child in his belly.
For the sake of Xiao Hua, his wife was willing to kill their child. This was one of the reasons why he never got along with Xiao Hua, the mer wasn’t at the fault but everything that he and his brothers suffered earlier on was also linked with Xiao Hua. If not for him then he wouldn’t have to suffer so much and the money in the house wouldn’t have been so tight.
Chen Mi could not get the security that he wanted but that does not mean that Fang Chi too cannot get what he wanted, right?
Fang Chi did not know about Chen Mi’s experience, he simply licked his lips and shook his head in denial. ” I am too shy to ask her…and she seems busy these days. I cannot ask her for more.”
He knew that even if Yu Dong was powerful, constructing such a big tree house storing enough food and everything must have been hard on her. Asking her to spend time with him in such difficult times would be selfish.
“Who says that you have to ask her?”
