Chapter 107 Sour Food
Gu Yechen first dropped He Xinyan off at the He mansion before going to his house to finish off the work he put aside.
He Xinyan entered the house and changed into slippers before walking in. She wasn't wet at all because Gu Yechen had done a great job in covering her entire body with the umbrella.
However, she noticed that half of Gu Yechen's body was wet from the rain.
When she walked in, she was surprised to see that Bai Jiawei was home already. He was sitting on the couch next to Li Huiran.
"Do you want to eat spicy or sour food?" He Xinyan heard Bai Jiawei ask eagerly.
Li Huiran gulped before responding, "Sour. . ."
Bai Jiawei's face brightened into a smile and he clapped his hands together, "Great! Great! I'll go tell the chef to make sour food tonight for dinner!"
He stood up from the couch and walked out of the living room, smiling when he saw He Xinyan.
"Yanyan, you're back! We will be eating sour food for dinner tonight because your Auntie Li said she likes sour food! Hahaha!" Bai Jiawei laughed cheerfully as he walked into the kitchen to tell the chef.
He Xinyan stepped forward and looked at Li Huiran, who was still sitting on the couch with one hand over her stomach.
Sour. . .
Of course she knew why Bai Jiawei was so happy. There was an old saying that if the pregnant woman liked to eat sour food, the baby was going to be a boy. If the pregnant woman liked spicy food, it was going to be a girl.
He Xinyan raised one eyebrow as she looked down at Li Huiran's flat stomach.
The baby inside was a boy?

After taking a shower, He Xinyan sat down on her bed to dry her hair.
When she finished, she walked downstairs, perfectly on time for dinner.
She was the first to sit down, and then Bai Jiawei came with Li Huiran and helped her into her seat. Li Yuyan and Su Zhiming also came to the He mansion tonight to eat dinner.
At the sight of all the sour food, Li Yuyan scrunched her face up slightly.
"Why are the dishes sour today?"
Bai Jiawei smiled when he heard that, "Your mom says she wants to eat sour food!"
Li Yuyan raised one eyebrow, "Sour boy, spicy girl! Does that mean my mom has a baby boy inside her stomach?"
Bai Jiawei laughed heartily, "Yes, yes! I hope so!"
Li Huiran also smiled as she stared at the table filled with sour dishes.
"It seems like I will have a little brother soon!" Li Yuyan smiled, trying to make Bai Jiawei happy.
She succeeded, and Bai Jiawei was in a very good mood as he began eating dinner.
However, He Xinyan wasn't so happy as she stared at the sweet and sour chicken in front of her. She slowly picked up a piece of chicken and ate a bite.
The sour taste in the chicken was very strong, and she guessed that the chef had probably added more vinegar on purpose to make it more sour.
She looked up and saw Li Huiran biting into a pickled vegetable. She slightly furrowed her eyebrows when she swallowed but quickly returned to her normal expression.
"The fish fillet with pickled vegetables is very good!" Li Huiran said as she took another bite of the vegetable.
Bai Jiawei took a sip of water, "Oh, really! Eat more! You need to eat more to give my baby son the nutrients he needs!"
He Xinyan grinned. The doctor didn't even say it was son yet, and Bai Jiawei was already so sure that the child inside was a son because Li Huiran liked to eat sour food.
What if Li Huiran was lying?
He Xinyan grabbed the large spoon inside the bowl of fish fillet with pickled vegetables and scooped up a large spoonful of pickled vegetables.
"Auntie Li, my dad is right. Eat more." He Xinyan stood up and dumped the pickled vegetables onto Li Huiran's plate, who stiffened a bit when she saw what He Xinyan had put.
"Uh. . . Thank you." Li Huiran squeezed out a smile and looked up at Bai Jiawei, who seemed pleased by He Xinyan's action.
After dinner, all Li Huiran could taste inside her mouth was the sourness of the picked vegetables, and it made her feel sick.
She glared at He Xinyan when she walked past her, but He Xinyan didn't seem to care.
It was still raining at night, and although He Xinyan wanted to stay up to wait for Gu Yechen, she quickly fell asleep.
Maybe it was because of the soft and rhythmic tapping of raindrops landing on her roof, but it was almost as if she was under a sleeping potion.
She had only crawled onto her bed for five minutes, and she was already asleep.
About an hour later, the balcony door opened and Gu Yechen walked in. His black silk pajamas were dripping wet and his hair was also soaked with rain water.
He quickly closed the door to avoid waking He Xinyan up, and he stepped in, the water on him falling down onto the carpet floor.
Gu Yechen quietly walked over to the restroom and opened the door cautiously, not making any noise. He walked in and grabbed a towel to try his hair before walking out of the restroom with the towel still in his hand.
He stopped next to the bed and dropped the towel onto the table.
The next second, Gu Yechen was taking off his shirt!
---
The next morning, He Xinyan woke up very late since she didn't have any filming today. The rain had stopped and the sunlight shone in through the windows and the balcony door.
He Xinyan slowly blinked her eyes open and froze for a few seconds when she saw a wall of bare skin in front of her.
Maybe it was because she had just woken up, but her brain wasn't functioning really fast. It took several seconds before she let out a shriek.
"Why aren't you wearing clothes?!" He Xinyan sat up and covered her body with the blanket. She nervously looked down and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that all of her clothes were still in place.
Gu Yechen woke up from the noise and yawned slowly.
"Why aren't you wearing clothes?!" He Xinyan tried not to look at Gu Yechen's bare upper body, but it was very hard. Her eyes trailed down from his face and landed on his strong chest muscles and defined abs. It was a relief when she saw that his black pants were still on.
Ah!! He Xinyan pressed her lips together as she folded her hands together. If she didn't, she couldn't promise that her hands wouldn't "accidentally" touch Gu Yechen's muscles.
After all, she was still a normal woman, and men's bodies were still quite appealing to her. Especially muscular and strong bodies. . . like Gu Yechen!
He Xinyan swore that if she snapped a photo of Gu Yechen's upper body and posted it onto social media, it would definitely blow up!
As He Xinyan was deep inside her fangirling thoughts, Gu Yechen watched her with an amused expression.
He lifted his bare arms up his pillow and rested his head on his muscular arms.
He licked his lips and looked into He Xinyan's eyes, which were looking at his chest. It seems like all of his workouts didn't go to waste.
"Do you want to touch it?" Gu Yechen asked with a smile.
"Ye - I! No!" He Xinyan snapped out of her stupor and quickly looked away.
"But I want you to touch it!" Gu Yechen lifted one arm up from the bottom of his head and grabbed onto He Xinyan's hand pulling it onto his stomach.
He Xinyan sucked a breath in and closed her eyes so her excitement wouldn't be too evident.
However, of course, Gu Yechen still noticed it.
He tilted his head to one side and let go of her hand, "You know you can look, right? Baby, you're my girlfriend. My body is yours."
He Xinyan pressed her lips together and pushed her chin down as a blush spread across her face. How can anyone possibly hold up to his flirting?
He Xinyan opened one eye and then the other. He was her boyfriend. . . Why couldn't she look?
He Xinyan turned around and first saw Gu Yechen's amused expression. She cleared her throat before shamelessly looking down at his defined muscles.
She bit her lip and smiled excitedly. This was so much better than the videos from social media!
He Xinyan ran her hands down Gu Yechen's abs, tracing the muscles around each six-pack. She was so immersed in the beautiful sight in front of her, she didn't notice the change in Gu Yechen's expression.
Suddenly, he furrowed his eyebrows and grabbed onto He Xinyan's hand pulling her towards himself.
"Baby, you know that you are playing with fire, right? Why only touch my body, you can play with it too!"
