PE Ch56: Active Xiao Pan

Pan Yueshan: “Huh?”

At this moment, the expressions of father and son were identical.

“Is there such a thing?” Huai Yu completely didn’t remember.

But he knew Wang Xiu had been an experimenter in Central City, so it was probably related to that time.

With something to talk about, everyone’s state naturally eased a lot.

Wang Xiu raised her hand to pour a cup of tea, saying as she did, “For Mr. Huai, it’s a small matter. It’s normal not to remember.” She pushed the cup of tea towards Huai Yu.

Pan Yinchuan opened his mouth, “… Mom, don’t you think this scene is really strange?”

Huai Yu grasped the cup, took a sip, then immediately said, “Let me handle this.”

Alpha thus took control of the tea pot and poured a cup for both Pan Yueshan and Wang Xiu, presenting them with both hands.

The emphasis was on mutual respect without conflict.

Pan Yueshan swallowed and, with a sip of tea clearing his mind, finally nervously asked his wife, “Mr. Huai saved you? What happened at that time? Was it dangerous? Neither Yinchuan nor I knew…”

But it was Huai Yu who replied next, “It was probably during a city unrest.” He looked at Wang Xiu, “Actually, you don’t need to bring up this matter specially. I genuinely love Pan Yinchuan and won’t leverage past favors to seek your approval.”

Pan Yueshan’s initial reaction was disbelief… can we accept this?

While Wang Xiu’s gaze flickered, her emotions much more complex.

Mr. Huai… helped her cover up her experiences in Central City.

“Since Mr. Huai put it that way, I don’t mind sharing. At the time, the genetic editing experiments in Central City were halted, and my classmate, also my good friend, graduated with me from Hosens Ocean University…” Wang Xiu began.

Huai Yu timely complimented, “This is the top institution in the field of bioengineering.”

“Mr. Huai, you overpraise us. My friend was involved in the third round of experiments, and she once revealed to me that because a large number of experiment personnel went missing during the first and second rounds, the higher-ups might implement a silencing action when closing the lab.”

“I was a researcher in the first round of experiments, so how could I watch my friend die for such a reason? During that time, Old Pan was troubled by office politics and had to take Yin Chuan to tutoring every day. I found an excuse related to teaching and research to secretly return to Central City.”

“I didn’t expect the silencing to come so quickly. We almost suffocated in the lab.”

“It was then that someone blew the door open and came in. I never saw the leader’s face, but I saw the pattern embroidered on his pant leg, identical to the badge you gave Yin Chuan.”

“I still remember when someone asked him if everyone was killed, and he said to let us go because it was useless to him. He even knew I had settled in Jiuhe City, so he dispatched a plane to send me away. Other researchers also returned home safely.”

“Was it you?” Wang Xiu asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you were also the one who advocated for the lab’s closure.”

Huai Yu was slightly surprised.

“Yes, I remember leading the team to control the lab.”

After all, he had only dealt with the lab in Central City.

But as for those terrified researchers at the time… he had no impression of them.

He never would have thought one of them was Pan Yinchuan’s mother.

Now, he could only feel a chill spreading from his fingertips as he realized it.

“They initially planned to make it look like the researchers accidentally released neurotoxin, causing mass death. I had someone close the ventilation valve, cutting off the release pathway, and then we blasted open the passage,” Huai Yu said quietly.

Wang Xiu finally showed a relaxed smile. “I knew it. How could they be so kind? Just closing the ventilation valve to suffocate us? They planned to use neurotoxin.”

Pan Yinchuan, listening on the side, felt a chill throughout his body.

It was really that close… to losing his mother.

No wonder his mother trusted Yu Jia’an’s father, genuinely believing he had the means to get her out of the chaos in Nantashi.

Because they were researchers from the same lab, although from different batches, they knew each other’s capabilities.

No one expected that, being “fugitives from the same disaster,” the other would be so twisted and ambitious.

On the other end, Pan Yue suddenly got up excitedly and knelt in front of Huai Yu, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Huai, thank you for saving my wife.”

Huai Yu’s eyelid twitched heavily, and he quickly helped Pan Yue up. “Uncle, you’re too polite.”

The two almost ended up kneeling to each other.

Pan Yinchuan watched and rubbed his forehead.

But the cold fear inside him was instantly dispelled.

“I have some words to say to Yin Chuan’s father. Yin Chuan probably also has things to say to Mr. Huai…” Wang Xiu said.

Huai Yu stood up, courteous, “Please.”

Wang Xiu nodded, pulling Pan Yue into the bedroom.

Pan Yinchuan sat on the sofa in a daze for a while.

Is it over just like that?

Meeting the parents of others seemed different. No, it was very different!

Pan Yinchuan looked up at Huai Yu. “Did you already know my mother was a researcher in Central City?”

“I guessed she didn’t want you to know, so I didn’t tell you,” Huai Yu sat down next to Pan Yinchuan, “Are you angry?”

“Mom didn’t want us to get involved in the lab matters.” Although because of Yu Jia’an going mad, he ended up getting involved, and even directly involved with Huai Yu’s deeper whirlpool.

“And Mr. Huai, you didn’t take this opportunity to blackmail me.” Pan Yinchuan yawned, “So who should I be angry at?”

“Then can I sleep in your bed?” Mr. Huai cared more about this.

Pan Yinchuan looked at him, a myriad of complex emotions surging up. “…You can.”

Huai Yu saved him, saved his mother.

Part of the peaceful life he wanted was actually given by Huai Yu.

Now the high and mighty Alpha had also voluntarily lowered his head to him.

Being with Huai Yu was quite interesting, more interesting than being with Yu Tong. He didn’t even know if this counted as love.

Oh, and having sex wasn’t painful anymore, it was even a bit… pleasurable.

Pan Yinchuan’s thoughts swirled, and he almost impulsively said let’s get married.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but yawn again.

His biological clock timely suppressed his impulsive thought.

He was very sure that once he said those words, Huai Yu, afraid he would regret it, would immediately pack him back to Central City to register their marriage.

He couldn’t take it, couldn’t take it…

Pan Yinchuan got up and walked to his bedroom door, finally inviting Huai Yu once: “Let’s sleep.”

The last time Huai Yu came here, he was filled with anger.

Pan Yinchuan was ravaged on the bed until he was nearly dead.

This time, the sleep was much “plainer.”

Pan Yinchuan was in a good mood. He didn’t even know why, maybe because he knew his mother had survived a life-and-death situation and wouldn’t be in danger anymore?

He wore pajamas and restlessly tossed and turned in bed twice.

The second time he turned over, he was firmly held by Huai Yu, one leg resting on Huai Yu, unable to be retracted.

“Don’t move around, want to do something else?” Huai Yu’s voice came.

Pan Yinchuan immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep in that position.

Huai Yu: “…”

Maybe it was a different mindset.

When Pan Yinchuan woke up in Huai Yu’s arms, he was very relaxed.

The Alpha’s pheromones didn’t put any particular pressure on him.

But the two were too close, and after completely relaxing, he unconsciously rubbed against Huai Yu twice, pushing Huai Yu’s pant leg up a bit.

The prosthetic limb was cool to the touch.

When it made contact with his skin, it gave him a sudden shiver.

Huai Yu sat up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Pan Yinchuan didn’t speak.

Huai Yu, already understanding, subtly moved that leg a bit farther away.

For some reason, Pan Yinchuan felt a lump in his throat.

He also sat up and pressed his hand on Huai Yu’s leg, pressing twice, and casually said, “It’s very hard.”

Huai Yu’s expression softened, and he seriously said, “There’s another place that’s also very hard.”

Pan Yinchuan: “…”

Pan Yinchuan climbed over him, got out of bed, and started changing clothes, asking, “I remember the first time I saw you, you were using a cane…”

“Yes, my old injury flared up during that time.”

“Old injury…” Pan Yinchuan thought about what he had learned in nursing books, “Does your leg hurt on rainy days?”

“Yes, and during the new material adjustment period, it also hurts.”

Pan Yinchuan felt that lump in his throat again.

But soon, he remembered another question, “Even with an old injury flaring up, it didn’t stop you from getting into bed with me.”

Huai Yu, of course, knew no shame.

He calmly nodded, “To override the constant pain, you need a more intense way of release.”

So that’s why you’re especially violent and ruthless in bed?

Pan Yinchuan let out a breath.

Huai Yu had been in pain recently too.

But he had held back more forcefully.

Halfway through putting on his clothes, Pan Yinchuan suddenly walked back to Huai Yu, pressed his hand on Huai Yu’s thigh, and then slowly moved it to another place.

Huai Yu wasn’t lying.

He was hard.

“Pan Yinchuan?” Huai Yu grabbed his wrist and stared at him intently.

Pan Yinchuan also put on a serious face and said, “Last time you were here, you told me to keep quiet. Can Mr. Huai keep quiet today?”

Then he pulled down Huai Yu’s pants.

Huai Yu’s eyebrows twitched, and he lowered his voice, but his tone was even more intense, “Pan Yinchuan!”

When Pan Yinchuan actually went down, he regretted it a bit.

Because he had always been passive.

Taking the initiative all of a sudden, how… how was he supposed to do it?

His movements were clumsy, touching briefly before pulling away.

Huai Yu’s neck veins bulged, unable to bear it any longer, he pulled Pan Yinchuan back onto the bed.

As the world spun, Pan Yinchuan found himself pressed against the headboard.

The Alpha pressed down on him but didn’t strip off his freshly worn clothes, just used Pan Yinchuan’s hand to roughly continue.

“I won’t make a sound,” Huai Yu said in a low voice and gently bit Pan Yinchuan’s neck.

…

By the time they finished, Pan Yinchuan’s clothes were worn in vain.

Luckily, the wardrobe was in the room. He stumbled off the bed and picked out a new set to wear.

The dressing mirror clearly reflected his appearance.

Even without further actions, Pan Yinchuan’s entire face was flushed.

The Alpha also changed into something new and got out of bed, raising his hand to open the window.

Pan Yinchuan heard the creaking sound and instinctively turned to ask, “What are you doing?”

Huai Yu said, “Letting the air out.”

Pan Yinchuan’s neck instantly turned red.

He said fiercely, “We’ll go out later.”

Huai Yu nodded and sat on the edge of the bed, “Alright.”

Originally, Pan Yinchuan thought it would be awkward and boring to sit there dryly.

But Huai Yu seriously examined the room, “Is that from your high school days?”

Pan Yinchuan turned to look, seeing the periodic table of chemical elements posted on the wall, and nodded, adding, “I couldn’t memorize it back then, too hard.”

He then asked Huai Yu, “You studied economics at a top university, right?”

“Yes. When did you start paying attention to my past records?” Huai Yu said this with a slight smile. He certainly liked Pan Yinchuan showing interest in him.

“My mom told me.”

Huai Yu wasn’t disappointed and said, “Thanks to my mother-in-law.”

Pan Yinchuan almost choked on his saliva.

“You were very diligent in your studies.” Huai Yu hooked his finger around the old calendar hanging by the desk.

“How do you know?”

“Your schedule is all about studying.” Huai Yu pointed to the other side of the wall where there were traces of incomplete tearing, “You even pinned your mistake book to the wall.”

Pan Yinchuan sincerely sighed, “Even though I studied hard, I didn’t get into those top universities, and I didn’t choose the right major, so I ended up in Nanta City studying nursing.”

And Huai Yu… setting aside his fierce demeanor in bed and his deep scheming off it, Huai Yu was undoubtedly an outstanding person.

“Being serious is already cute enough.” Huai Yu paused, “What’s the use of having a pretty resume?”

Pan Yinchuan thought that was a very provocative statement.

By conventional standards… “A pretty resume can get you a better job, can…” have a better life.

Pan Yinchuan hadn’t finished speaking when Huai Yu said, “Would you marry me because of my pretty resume?”

Pan Yinchuan: “…………?”

Huai Yu regretted, “See, it’s of no use at all.”

Pan Yinchuan opened the door, “Let’s go!”

“To get married?”

“To have breakfast!”

Pan Yinchuan walked out and found that Wang Xiu had already gone to work, leaving Pan Yue, who was peeling corn at the dining table with droopy eyes.

Pan Yinchuan first looked up at the clock on the wall.

It was almost ten in the morning, no wonder his mother left first.

“Dad, don’t you have to go to work today?” Pan Yinchuan asked.

Pan Yue got startled, stood up, and first greeted Huai Yu politely, “Mr. Huai.”

“Good morning, Uncle.”

“Good morning, good morning.”

Pan Yinchuan sighed and whispered to Huai Yu, “Mr. Huai had strictly ordered that my family mustn’t find out about our relationship before…”

Huai Yu quickly said, “My apologies.”

Pan Yinchuan shook his head. “No, I wanted to tell you, seeing this situation, it’s quite strange. My dad doesn’t know how to act. So I didn’t want to bring you home.”

Huai Yu: “…”

He glanced over to see Pan Yueshan flipping through the phone book, muttering, “Should I order breakfast for you guys? Ah, where’s the number for Lao Sun’s breakfast place? Can’t seem to find it.”

Then, Pan Yueshan stopped abruptly. “Mr. Huai shouldn’t eat these, right? Yinchuan, why don’t you take Mr. Huai out to a fancy restaurant? Though we don’t have any high-end breakfast places around here…”

Huai Yu turned his gaze back, lowering his voice. “Is your dad getting flustered because of me?”

Pan Yinchuan hesitated. “Is it… because of Mom?”

Huai Yu patted his back lightly. “Go ask him.”

Pan Yinchuan wondered if he was too accepting. After hearing about Mom’s “secret,” he didn’t feel like it was a big deal.

He walked up to his dad, tugging at his sleeve and quietly asking, “Dad, did you argue with Mom last night?”

“Argue? Why would we argue?” Pan Yueshan put down his phone in confusion, then sighed heavily, looking troubled as he whispered to Pan Yinchuan, “It’s just a sense of crisis.”

“A sense of crisis?”

“I feel like I can’t live up to your mom…”

Pan Yinchuan: “Pfft.”

So it’s all about this?

Pan Yueshan glanced at the time, his mind elsewhere. He kept saying, “You guys have fun with Mr. Huai. I need to go shopping; your mom gave me a list…”

Pan Yueshan left in a hurry.

In the evening, Wang Xiu called to say that she and Pan Yueshan were eating out and they’d handle it themselves.

Pan Yinchuan: “…”

It’s really nothing like what I imagined meeting the parents would be like!!!

Do my parents really not worry about him overpowering Huai Yu?

Huai Yu emerged from the kitchen holding a ladle.

“You said you didn’t want the neighbors to see me, so let’s not go out.” Alpha was eager to try. “I’ll cook instead.”

A domesticated Alpha will surely win the parents’ favor, right?

Pan Yinchuan rushed over and grabbed him. “You can be seen. Let’s still go out to eat; I don’t want my parents to come home and find the kitchen burnt down.”

Huai Yu let him pull him out, calmly saying, “I’ve made field rations before.”

Pan Yinchuan: ?

Can that really be the same?

As they opened the door, they bumped into their neighbors who were cooling off outside.

“Oh, Xiao Pan, this must be your partner who didn’t run away?” the old man exclaimed excitedly.

“Wow, so tall!” this was an exclamation from the auntie, “And… could he possibly be your husband?”

Huai Yu nodded slightly, immaculately dressed, his voice melodious, “Thank you, I am.”

It wasn’t clear if he meant partner or husband.

The neighbors stared in disbelief as they watched them walk away.

“That partner looks just like Mr. Huai on TV.”

“That’s impossible. Mr. Huai with a ladle in his hand? Doesn’t that sound ridiculous?”

“Yeah! I saw the news; Mr. Huai was seriously ill, maybe even in the ICU!”
