Chapter 96: The Promise

The silent room remained still, with nothing happening.

A handsome man was sitting on the bed, while another was standing quietly by the window.

The sky was dotted with stars, and the crescent moon hung brightly in the sky like a silver sickle.

"If you truly think you can do it, then so be it. I'll be with you," Shen Yu said coldly in the darkness.

In fact, he wasn't a heartless man. Besides, if it was with Yi Pin, he would feel happy even if they had to take care of many children.

He was just sometimes afraid that Yi Pin was still young and impulsive. Maybe the decision he made now wouldn't last long and needed further consideration.

But when he said it so firmly today, it gave people an undeniable feeling.

Yi Pin's eyes lit up. He turned around.

But his expression dimmed instantly. "Actually, you don't have to force yourself. I don't need your approval either. I just think... some things..."

"Come on, stop being so hesitant. I, Shen Yu, always keep my word. I'm just afraid you won't be able to keep your promise. So I want you to think it through first. Don't give up halfway and make the child even sadder..."

Yi Pin ran over with a smile, hugged Shen Yu, and said with a laugh, "A promise is a promise. You've promised to take care of Zi Qi with me!"

"Got it, got it. You're really moody. You change your face faster than turning a page. I thought you were going to come over and punch me a few times just now when you were keeping a straight face!"

Shen Yu pursed his lips and smiled.

Yi Pin was obviously very happy. He didn't care about Shen Yu's teasing at all and didn't take the words to heart.

He smiled as innocently as a child.

For some reason, this matter didn't really need Shen Yu's approval. But there was a voice in his heart telling him that he wanted Shen Yu to agree or hoped that Shen Yu would share the responsibility with him. In this way, there would be a bond between them. It was out of selfishness, but more out of the desire to take care of Zi Qi, who had missed out on a lot of childhood fun.

"I'm so hungry," Yi Pin suddenly said with a smile on his lips.

He had been busy thinking just now. When he was thinking about many things or feeling irritated, he always forgot about some daily trivial matters.

"No need. You can just stand there and drink the northwest wind. You'll be full. Why bother eating?" Shen Yu said with a smile, teasing him.

"Are you even human? Do you have a conscience? Just ask yourself. Isn't it all because I've been worrying so much about you?"

Yi Pin said with a bright smile on his face.

Most of the time, Yi Pin was like this. A simple word could make him happy for a long time, and an innocent remark could also make him turn angry suddenly.

Such a temper would surely be unbearable for ordinary people, but Shen Yu found it very interesting.

"I'm not taking the blame for this. You're clearly just worrying about yourself. Are you afraid you won't be able to handle things on your own without someone to help you?"

Shen Yu smiled.

The atmosphere between them instantly became warmer.

"How about we sneak out and eat some street food?" Yi Pin said with a smile, raising his eyebrows and looking at Shen Yu in front of him.

"Not allowed!"

Shen Yu said coldly and continued to look down at his book.

"Why not?"

"Not allowed is not allowed."

"Brother Yu, bro, just this once, okay? Really, just this once."

Yi Pin frowned with a look of grievance on his face and stared at Shen Yu in front of him eagerly.

"Don't try this on me. It won't work," Shen Yu said coldly, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up with a hint of a smile.

Yi Pin turned his face away, feeling irritated.

Looking at the exasperated Yi Pin, Shen Yu shook his head helplessly.

"Call me brother again!"

Shen Yu smiled.

"Brother, Brother Yu, Brother Yuuu!"

Yi Pin said with a smile and a sly look on his face as he stared at Shen Yu.

"What about your integrity? Your integrity is all over the place," Shen Yu said with a smile, shaking his head as he looked at Yi Pin in front of him.

"What integrity? Eating is the most important thing. Food is above everything else. Only food and dreams should not be let down," Yi Pin said confidently with a smile on his lips.

"I really can't do anything about you," Shen Yu said, shaking his head helplessly.

"Do you think we should take Zi Qi with us?"

Yi Pin said with a smile.

"Not allowed. Never let the child eat this kind of junk food in the future!"

Shen Yu coldly vetoed it.

"Damn it. You said you were reluctant, but now you're doing such a great job in the role of a father. People who don't know would definitely think he's really your child. Not bad, not bad!"

Yi Pin said with a smile and a hint of amusement on his face.

"If I'm the father, then does that mean you're the mother?" Shen Yu said with a smile and a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Hearing this, Yi Pin's face instantly turned red all the way to his ears.

This sentence sounded ambiguous.

"I thought you had a thick skin and didn't even care about your integrity. Why do you always blush when I say a few words?"

Shen Yu said with a smile as he ruffled Yi Pin's hair.

Looking at the blushing Yi Pin, he couldn't help but lean over and kiss him.

"What are you doing? It's in public. How improper!"

Yi Pin covered his face. His whole face was instantly red, just like a red apple, and his ears turned bright red.

"I can't help it. I'm learning your attitude of being free and easy," Shen Yu said with a smile.

Looking at Yi Pin beside him, he couldn't help but feel fond of him. Even just looking at him quietly like this, he could do it for a very long time without getting bored.

They came to a crowded street food stall. Yi Pin ordered a whole bunch of things.

Shen Yu watched quietly. "Can you finish all of this? I just agreed to come here with you, but I didn't say you could eat so much..."

So, Shen Yu just sat there quietly watching him eat.

Yi Pin unceremoniously ordered a lot of food.

After they were full, they returned to the hospital.

After staying in the hospital for a few days, they were already used to it. Neither of them had gone back home.

It seemed that this place had become their new home. Even the hospital bed seemed so cute.

In fact, most of the time, it wasn't about the kind of house you lived in or the living environment you had. It was about whether the person beside you was someone you liked, whether doing things with him was interesting, or whether the two of you were planning your future together.

In all of Shen Yu's future plans, Yi Pin was there.

"Hurry up and take a shower!"

Shen Yu said coldly.

"Okay!"

Yi Pin nodded. He was already used to Shen Yu's cleanliness obsession.

So he went into the bathroom. After he took off his clothes, Shen Yu walked in.

"What are you doing?"

Yi Pin looked at Shen Yu in front of him in shock, not knowing what to say.

"Help me take a shower. I'm a disabled person. Look, I can't even move my hand," Shen Yu shrugged.
