Deliberate Mark

Editor: KarateChopMonkey, dreaming of a smoke

Obviously, it was a gesture of begging, but it had a certain taste of victory. Gu Ang was softened by this baby, his face reddening more. He stammered for a few moments, not knowing how to react. After a few seconds, he kicked Ye Fei with the back of his bare foot, “What are you calling out of nowhere?”

“Aren’t you my baby?” Ye Fei’s arm tightened, urging him, “Hurry up, you haven’t agreed to my proposal yet.”

“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll tie the knot.” Gu Ang lowered his eyes and muttered in a low voice, “It’s a done deal.”

The marriage contract was agreed upon a long time ago, and in order to proceed on time, they even pretended to break up to speed up the revenge process. It was just that hearing about marriage from Ye Fei’s mouth was still heartwarming.

They were finally coming back to the way they were in the beginning. As long as they continue along this path, it will be a grand and happy ending. Gu Ang rolled over and hugged him, “Big brother, what day of the month is it scheduled for?”

“The middle of the month, the weather is better, not too hot and not too cold.” Ye Fei replied.

“Yeah, okay.” Gu Ang lowered his head and rubbed against the person, feeling like he had turned into a clingy cat, and his whole body wanted to roll on Ye Fei. The two of them are naked and shirtless, a little bit of rubbing, there was a tendency of gunfire.

Ye Fei reached out to control his shoulders and said in a hoarse voice, “Stop moving around, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”

When he just gave Gu Ang a bath, it seemed to be a little swollen so he couldn’t afford to toss and turn.

Gu Ang: “…”

The second thing he understood. The words were the same, but it had a little show-off meaning. Gu Ang was in a bad position, but he still said, “I’m very strong.”

“Then let’s do it again?” Ye Fei made a gesture to hold the person, not letting him leave.

“Forget it, give me a break.” The slightly bulging stomach pressed against Ye Fei’s belly, Gu Ang grunted and hurriedly rolled over to get down. He couldn’t afford to mess with him, but could avoid him.

When his stomach moved again, Gu Ang patted it impatiently, “When will this guy come out?”

“It should be another two months, right? Are you in a hurry?” Ye Fei reached out and rubbed slowly, pressing twice in bad taste. The skin under the palm felt excellent, like good sheep’s fat. It was soft and smooth.

“I hope he comes out sooner, I don’t dare to move too much now.” Gu Ang thought of the two of them making out in front of the mirror just now, afraid of pressing the baby, he was holding the mirror concave waist, exhausting himself half dead. If there was no child in his belly, he could probably be a little more crazy.

Ye Fei said, “It’s been hard on you.”

Gu Ang closed his eyes, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, “Big brother, I’m going to sleep, I’m so tired.”

Ye Fei ruffled the strands of hair in front of his forehead and bent down to touch it gently. What was different from the ruthless plundering just now was the infinite warmth before sleep, “Go to sleep, good night.”

Gu Ang was drowsy, and with the strenuous exercise just now, he fell into sleep quickly. Just as he entered into a deep sleep, he had a rather bizarre dream. He dreamed of the birth of his baby, walking along the road, when it suddenly fell out of his stomach with a clang.

Gu Ang reached out in horror and grabbed the half-fallen baby, gasped twice, and dropped his eyes to look at his face. The top half was Ye Fei’s eyebrows, nose and mouth were similar to his own. The combination of the two looked familiar.

Gu Ang was shocked, wasn’t this the look of the mystery man who fucking marked him? Staring at that face, he felt his glands ache. The child with a mature face looked at him blankly and suddenly smiled at him with a giggle at the corner of his lips.

Gu Ang’s eyelids fluttered, his body shook violently, rolled over and sat up, waking up from his sleep. Within seconds, a cold sweat broke out. Damn, the psychological shadow was too heavy.

The loud movement beside him woke up Ye Fei, who quickly opened his eyes and checked the person next to him. Under the moonlight, he saw Gu Ang’s face was so white that it seemed bloodless. Ye Fei pinched the back of his neck and asked in a low voice, “Did you have a nightmare?”

Gu Ang hammered him in a good-natured way, pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

“What’s the point of hitting me?” Ye Fei’s face was black with aggression. He was disturbed by the sleep and had no place to complain.

Gu Ang glared at him, “It’s all your fault.”

Ye Fei also sat up and looked at him, asking good-naturedly, “What exactly did you dream about?”

Gu Ang rubbed his swollen eyes and muttered, “I dreamed that the baby came out and grew into your disguised form. Fuck, I was scared to death.”

Ye Fei: “…” He thought about it, it seemed that could be a possibility. When he first disguised himself, he thought if he had a child, he might look like that. But now, he looked at the face full of fright from the young man, and could no longer scare him. And he didn’t dare to expect to grow into that perfect and delicate face.

Ye Fei stroked his back, like a cat’s, “No, there’s no such thing as a coincidence.”

“It better be.” Gu Ang rubbed his brow, completely unable to sleep. He strangled Ye Fei’s neck, “You’re not allowed to sleep, stay with me.”

The tone of his voice was cloying, with a bit of threat. Ye Fei gave a dumbfounded smile, embracing him, in the middle of the night, sitting with him like two statues.

The second half of the night Gu Ang couldn’t easily fall asleep, Ye Fei afraid that he would continue to dream, stayed awake, and just held him from behind. He was continuously patting and soothing him, like he was coaxing a child.

Being gently held, feeling safe, Gu Ang in the end had a good, refreshing sleep.

Ye Fei stayed up all night, the bags under his eyes turning a faintly dark blue, he didn’t have much spirit.

When they went to school in the morning, Bai SiNing was propped up in front of his desk, whispering to Gu Ang, “Yesterday on God Ye’s birthday, did you give him the gift?”

Gu Ang blushed a little and gave an unnatural hmm.

“Is it the kind we discussed before?” Bai SiNing lowered his voice and squeezed his eyebrows, with a gossipy face.

Gu Ang glared at him and broke the jar, “Yeah, can’t I?”

“But why does God Ye look so low on energy, like he’s been drained?” Bai SiNing gave Ye Fei a sideways glance with a fierce, listless expression.

Gu Ang twitched his lips and couldn’t hold back his laughter. He opened his mouth to babble, “Ye Fei’s physical strength isn’t good, so he looks weak.”

As soon as he said that, he received a warning, knife-like look.

Bai SiNing sucked in a breath of cold air, and countless expletives floated through his heart. His brother Ang became an Omega and he was still so fierce, compared to an Alpha, he was even fiercer!

Ye Fei took another look at Gu Ang and spoke quietly, “Are you sure you want to say that?”

“I’m just kidding.” Gu Ang licked the corner of his lips and explained to Bai SiNing, “He had insomnia last night.”

Bai SiNing let out a sigh of relief, “What kind of tricks did you play that God Ye was so excited to lose sleep all night?”

Gu Ang thought of the floor mirror and his eyes flashed, “Bai SiNing, why do you care about people’s personal matters all day long?”

“Okay, okay, I won’t ask, just be happy.”

Bai SiNing’s eyes fell on the silver ring on his ring finger, and he shouted, “A wedding ring?”

“A pair.” Gu Ang stretched out his hand and touched Ye Fei’s, showing off generously. He was not ashamed of the fact that they were going to get married, and they were spreading dog food.

Bai SiNing was so taken by the love show that he wanted to quit the Luminous support group chat on the spot. He held his chin and showed some longing, “I also want to have a sweet relationship”.

“There are ready-made boyfriends who you don’t want.” Gu Ang snickered.

Bai SiNing’s finger sliding screen, was ready to retort, but uncharacteristically lowered his voice, “Brother Ang, look at the news! The evidence that brother Lin turned in earlier has finally come to fruition.”

He spat out the words “borther Lin”, he slightly froze for a moment. Ready-made boyfriend… was Gu Ang talking about Lin XiuYong?

“What’s wrong again?” Gu Ang opened his legs and lazily clicked on his communicator.

After reading the news push, his pupils widened slightly and his expression became serious. The overwhelming news exploded almost simultaneously, all saying the same thing. Lu Yan was imprisoned for complete evidence of treason and was immediately executed, and Gu Shen was involved and held pending the verdict. The news spread so fast that everyone was chatting about gossip between classes, and it was easy to hear about it all over.

The eyes of the other students in the class turned in unison, finally realizing what Gu Ang meant when he said, “I have nothing to do with him now”.

It turned out that he already knew the inside story and cleared it all up. Everyone was whispering, but those words still easily reached their ears.

“So he colluded with the Federation.”

“Gu Ang is also too miserable to have such a father.”

“No wonder I disliked Lu ChangJing so much. If they really married, Gu Ang would also be finished.”

“Yes, now go back and watch the interview and see a lot of things.”

Gu Ang rubbed his ears and looked up at Ye Fei, “The results of the old thing are out.”

“For the treason, he’ll get the death penalty. He can’t run away.” Ye Fei twisted his palm, “Want to go see him one last time?”

He knew that Gu Ang was usually hard-hearted but soft-hearted in the end, but when it came to this point, it was still hard to bear. Gu Ang looked blankly out the window, his vision shaken into a white blur by the sunlight, “I don’t know, let’s talk about it later.” 

—

The wedding was prepared quickly, with Ye Fei controlling the pace of the entire process, requiring little concern on his part. From the venue layout, to the dress and flowers, everything was complete and thoughtful. Soon, Ye Fei sorted out the invitation list and printed the invitations to send them one by one. In addition to Ye HongFeng and Qin LeHe’s friends, there were some schoolmates and the crossed over gang.

Gu Ang thought it was a low-key wedding but with more invitations sent, the more complex and high-profile it became. Gu Ang ended up printing an extra copy of the invitation, and handwritten Gu Shen’s name in the invitee’s position.

He heard that two months before the execution, he asked Ye HongFeng to help arrange an opportunity to visit Gu Shen in prison. With the invitation, Gu Ang went with Ye Fei to the Empire’s A1 prison.

The prison was surrounded by the highest level of security, with short cannons. The deep black fence was like a huge birdcage, making it difficult for criminals to fly.

Ye Fei sent him to the door, but stopped in place, “I will not go in, you two talk alone.”

“Okay, you wait for me at the door.” Gu Ang nodded slightly and walked straight inside.

Today he was wearing a black formal dress and tie, and was sitting in the visiting room waiting in a serious manner. The procedures for visiting a prison were complicated, especially for a prisoner of Gu Shen’s caliber. After a long time, the iron door next to him opened, and he saw Gu Shen wearing a striped prison uniform, trembling.

But half a month without seeing him, this man seemed to have aged 20 years. His head was full of white hair, he had haggard eyebrows, and had long lost his old demeanor.

Gu Ang opened his mouth and called out “Dad”, but his voice went cold again, “Probably, this is the last time I will call you that.”

“Little Ang, I didn’t expect that you would still come to see me.” Gu Shen wiped his face and reached out to grab his hand, which was dodged by Gu Ang.

Gu Ang took out the invitation from his pocket and handed it over, “Ye Fei and I will get married soon, and it’s impossible for you to attend the wedding, so I’ll leave you a souvenir.”

He still held on to the last trace of absurdity, hoping to get Gu Shen’s blessing. Gu Shen reached out to take it, rubbing the handwriting on it, his lips trembling. He stumbled and slid off the stool and fell to his knees, his handcuffed hand reaching for Gu Ang’s coat, “You’re willing to come to me to deliver the invitation, so you still have some residual affection for me, right? I know it, you’re a good boy with a soft heart, so you came to help me.”

Gu Ang raised his eyes slightly and shifted his stool back, putting distance between them, “Do you regret coming this far?”

If he said he regretted it, Gu Ang might find a way to give him another chance.

“The only thing I regret is that I didn’t do these things stealthily enough and was caught in the act. Gu Ang, save me or get your husband Ye Fei to help.” Gu Shen shamelessly mentioned Ye Fei’s name, anyone who could save him.

Gu Ang didn’t say anything and looked at him quietly. He brought the invitation over, and the last vestiges of affection that remained were shattered. He should’ve understood, Gu Shen was always selfish, didn’t know right from wrong and wasn’t reflective, always thinking of himself only.

Gu Shen impatiently pleaded, “I’ll be brief, I read your previous interview, I know you have a grudge against me, but we’ll always be family. Now that Dad is in trouble, you can’t just ignore me. I’m innocent, I was set up by a traitor.”

“Innocent? Traitor?” Gu Ang raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, his voice was soft, “Dad, you don’t know that the evidence was handed over by me, right?”

“You!” Gu Shen froze, his face showing disbelief. It was hard to understand, his own son, handed over the evidence that sent him to jail? He opened his mouth, but his throat was tight and he couldn’t make any sound.

Gu Ang pulled his tie and added, “Why else do you think I agreed to those plans of yours? I came here today, not to save you, but to say goodbye to you. The last time I blacked out communication wasn’t very formal, this time, I solemnly say goodbye to you.”

“How could you bear to send your father to prison? I have raised you for almost 20 years!” Gu Shen got anxious and slapped the ground, gasping for breath.

Gu Ang knocked on the table, his eyes cold as he counted off, “Then when you used me and my mother as pawns, did you ever consider our feelings? When you cheated, schemed, used, and stepped on us to climb up the ladder, did you ever think about the feelings of so many years?”

He thought, Today, I came to settle the score. To make his father clearly understand all his sins before he died. Then with endless remorse, he would step into hell.

“You’re still young, everyone lives for himself.”

Gu Shen’s eyes were red and swollen as he looked at him, his tone full of supplication, “Son, I don’t want to die, save me!”

The moment he put on the shackles, all his glory and wealth, all zeroed out. And now, the only straw to save his life, he must grab. However, Gu Ang froze his heart into stone and didn’t allow himself to lose a single bit, “I’m dressed like this today to give you an early send-off. The invitation is just a companion gift, so take care of yourself.”

He didn’t get a blessing, he was just disgusted by Gu Shen once again. Dead on arrival, unrepentant.

Gu Shen bowed his back, like a mourning dog thrown out of the door by his master, pitiful and hateful. His voice was hoarse, “You… How did you become so cold and heartless? Can you bear to see me die?”

“Dad, I’ve changed a long time ago, you’re just finding out now.” Gu Ang pushed his hand away, “It’s almost time for your visit, have a good trip.”

He didn’t expect that Gu Shen would still think of using him until the last moment. Gu Shen had no love, he would always only love himself.

Gu Shen raised his eyes, trying to find a trace of pity from the face that looked like his own. After a long time, he dropped his hands on the ground and finally gave up. Gu Ang was really dead hearted and indifferent towards him.

“I heard that you’re pregnant. The execution is still some time away, after the birth, can you bring him to see me?” Gu Shen changed his mind and played the emotion card to the hilt, “After all, I’m the baby’s grandfather, and before I die, I have just one wish.”

He thought that as long as they could meet again, he would be able to get Gu Ang to soften sooner or later. And Gu Ang just stood up coldly and walked to the door. He looked back at Gu Shen, who was kneeling on the floor in snotty tears, and dropped the word, “No.”

The iron door opened and closed with a bang, and Gu Ang and Gu Shen were separated into two worlds. This time, they wouldn’t see each other again.

Gu Ang knew Gu Shen was looking at him, he straightened his back and walked towards the outside of the prison, all the way to the gate. He saw Ye Fei leaning against the door before he quickly walked over and hugged the person. His strength instantly collapsed, his tough indifference was just a disguise.

In front of this person, he could finally release his real emotions. He felt sick again. After all, he had called him “Dad” for more than 20 years. At this moment, he still felt his heart was full of knives. It was really a sad thing to be hurt by the person you loved.

Gu Ang buried his head deeply in Ye Fei’s neck, lost his strength, choked and said, “Big brother, I don’t have a father anymore.”

Ye Fei just raised his hand to embrace him, surrounded the whole person in his arms, giving him the most complete sense of security, “But you still have me.”
