Chapter 81: If I Don’t Get a Vasectomy, You Might Get Pregnant Again
After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner, Chi Wang received a red envelope from Xie Sicheng. When he touched it, it was thin but hard. Without a doubt, it was a bank card.
He gladly accepted it and took out the red envelope he had prepared for Xie. Not too much, not too little—just five hundred yuan in cash.
Chi Wang didn’t have the habit of watching the Spring Festival Gala, and neither did Xie, so they both tacitly skipped the program.
As the night wore on, Chi Wang’s phone kept buzzing. When he took a look, it was from the family groups that Luo Lianyun and Shu Tingyu had pulled him into; they had started sending red envelopes. The two of them were frantically cueing him in a small group to come grab red envelopes.
Chi Wang quickly entered the group to snatch red envelopes, clicking on every one he could see. Haha, just as he expected, each was only a few cents or a few yuan. If not the last place, he was at least in the bottom three every time.
In the small group, Shu Tingyu said, [Mayo1, your luck is too bad. I got 199 yuan, and you only got 6 yuan??]
Luo Lianyun chimed in, [Poor thing, let me send you a big one.]
After saying that, he sent a 200-yuan red envelope.
Chi Wang happily accepted it. [You’re so generous, boss! Thank you, boss!]
Not to be outdone, Shu Tingyu also sent a big red envelope. [I’ll send one too; let’s share the good fortune.]
Chi Wang accepted it as well. [Thank you, Xiaoyu!]
Luo Lianyun grumbled, [You call him Xiaoyu but use my full name. The favoritism is too obvious.]
Chi Wang: “…”
He couldn’t help but laugh and quickly changed the subject by sending a large red envelope in the group.
Shu Tingyu was quick and grabbed it first. After opening it, he was stunned. “Whoa, 689 yuan? So big??”
Luo Lianyun also got one. “1250 yuan??? Did you strike it rich?”
Chi Wang looked at the 61 yuan he had grabbed and fell silent.
After a while, he said, [I have a bit of money now. I recognized an older brother who shared some with me.]
Chi Wang hadn’t told Luo Lianyun and Shu Tingyu about his family situation. Although they had some guesses about his background, they were far behind the current reality. For something like this, Chi Wang was tight-lipped; months had passed without him revealing a hint.
Now, hearing this, both Luo and Shu found it quite dramatic. [Really? Wow, it’s like a TV drama.]
Chi Wang felt the same.
It was all thanks to Xiao Fu’s craziness. If he hadn’t acted out, Chi Wang might never have known. After all, he didn’t resemble Xiao Fu. If you insisted on similarities, it was only that they both had a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
Under normal circumstances, any last chance of recognition would have been blocked. Who would have thought that Xiao Fu could go so far as to think he was his mother’s reincarnation?
It was a real stroke of luck.
If it happened to someone else, Chi Wang would find it too bizarre—something out of a wildly fabricated story.
Although he felt very close to his friends, Chi Wang didn’t go into details. After all, his nature wasn’t flamboyant. He just hinted that he wasn’t so poor anymore and that he wouldn’t forget his friends if he became rich—he’d help them get wealthy too (jokingly).
He was chatting enthusiastically in the group, and Xie passed by several times without catching his attention.
Finally, Xie, having showered early, sat down beside him, his hand casually playing with the slightly longer ends of Chi Wang’s hair.
Chi Wang: “…”
He ignored it and continued chatting with his two roommates.
They talked about how one of their family dogs had given birth to a litter of puppies, all chubby and strong, and they sent photos to Chi Wang.
He opened them and, sure enough, they were very plump and looked adorable.
Chi Wang loved dogs.
A long time ago, the Chi Kangnian family had a big yellow dog. Although the people were terrible, the dog was truly smart and spirited. At that time, Qiao Yuzhen had already given birth to Chi Cheng, and Chi Wang’s treatment had plummeted. He could only eat two meals a day, both cold, with just a little rice and a bit of vegetables—not enough to fill him up.
The family’s big yellow dog would find food for him—sometimes a piece of cooked sweet corn, sometimes a boiled sweet potato. Chi Wang would share the food with it.
Later, it could even bring back grass carp, river mussels, wild pheasants, and hares.
It obviously added to the family’s meals—a remarkably clever dog. But it didn’t meet a good end; Chi Kangnian sold it to dog traders for 150 yuan. By then, it had given birth, and each puppy was particularly fat. When Chi Wang went to see it, he could see many animal bones in its nest. It was very attentive in raising the puppies. But as soon as they were weaned, the puppies were sold off; Chi Kangnian sold them for 10 yuan each.
Thinking of this made Chi Wang feel sad. He asked, “Does anyone want these puppies?”
Luo Lianyun said, “Not yet. Local dog puppies aren’t worth much. My grandma plans to sell them at the market once they’re weaned.”
Chi Wang finally looked up at Xie. “Do you think any of your friends might want to adopt a dog? Genuine Chinese rural dogs—they’re smarter than Xiaomi.”
Xie: “…”
Well, he’s not adopting one; having Xiaomi is already enough.
Xie said, “I’ll ask around.”
Chi Wang became chatty and told Xie about the big yellow dog from his childhood.
Chi Wang rarely talked about himself, let alone his childhood.
Xie always felt he knew Chi Wang well, but actually, he didn’t know him that deeply. Since Chi Wang was willing to talk, Xie listened attentively.
Such moments were rare.
Although Chi Wang was always cheerful and seemed carefree, people like him often had the strongest defenses.
Apart from friends from his hometown, almost no one knew about his family situation. Even after spending day and night with his two roommates in college, they didn’t know about his background. They only inferred that things might not be good based on his relentless part-time jobs.
Even if someone deliberately asked, Chi Wang wouldn’t say, showing how guarded he was.
But as long as he was willing to talk, it meant that person held a special place in his heart.
Chi Wang himself wasn’t aware of this. He just felt he could talk about it now and naturally shared it with Xie.
He spoke about how wonderful the big yellow dog was—how it helped him herd ducks, bouncing around to assist him. How smart was that?
As Chi Wang spoke excitedly, his eyes sparkled.
Xie was a very qualified listener, quietly absorbing every word, vaguely sensing Chi Wang’s longing.
Xie remained silent for a moment before saying, “You can raise another one.”
Chi Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled. “No need. I do love rural dogs, but I already have Xiaomi.”
Balancing between Xie and Xiao Fu was already exhausting; how could he dare to raise another dog and make two dogs silently suffer? Dogs couldn’t even speak.
Thinking this, Chi Wang naturally voiced his thoughts. “Not just dogs; in the future, I only want one child. I won’t consider having a second one.”
Xie: “…”
Xie’s eyes darkened slightly. Suppressing the upward curve of his lips, he said in a cold, somewhat hoarse voice, “Alright, I’ll go get a vasectomy.”
Chi Wang: “…”
He suddenly realized, his face flushing red. He wanted to explain but didn’t know how, because subconsciously, that’s indeed what he thought.
He fell silent and after a while, awkwardly asked, “…You really want to get a vasectomy?”
Xie was just in his early twenties. A vasectomy meant sterilization—would he really do it?
Xie said, “You don’t want a second child, so of course I should get a vasectomy. After all, condoms aren’t 100% effective.”
Chi Wang: “…”
Don’t say it so… suggestively!!!
This made it sound like Chi Wang was consenting to let Xie put his thing into his backside!
If he didn’t refute, next time Xie might really put it in!
Chi Wang held back for a long time before saying, “You can’t put it in.”
Chi Wang: “…”
Chi Wang’s mind buzzed.
What was he saying!???
Oh my god!
Chi Wang’s face turned even redder, stammering, “No, I mean, you can’t use condoms.”
Chi Wang: “…”
He seemed to have lost his ability to speak, not knowing how to express his thoughts to Xie.
His brain felt like it was in a microwave, overheating all at once.
Xie’s frosty brows and eyes softened considerably. His voice was cold and indifferent, yet carried a hint of hoarse desire that was subtly sensual. “You mean don’t wear condoms? Then I really need to get a vasectomy, or else you’ll get pregnant again.”
Chi Wang: “…”
He was dumbfounded for quite a while before he barely regained his speech. “No, I mean your thing is not allowed to go into my backside!”
Yes, that’s what he meant from the beginning! He couldn’t open this door!
Xie: “…”
Such crude words.
But Xie couldn’t help the corners of his mouth from lifting. He looked deeply at Chi Wang, his cold voice offering a bit of protective coloring. “If I don’t put it into your backside, how did you get pregnant?”
Chi Wang: “…”
With a serious expression, Xie requested, “Since that can’t go in, then can I use my fingers?”
Chi Wang: “…”
Chi Wang was stunned, his mind blank like Patrick Star’s dumbfounded expression.2
Xie, what strange switch have you flipped!?
Chi Wang finally couldn’t hold back and shouted, “None of it is allowed!!! Nothing can go in! The backside is for sitting, not for putting things in!”
Xie softly chuckled, “Pfft.”
Chi Wang: “?”
Chi Wang: “Ahhhhhhh!”
So bad! Xie is too mischievous!!
