Does he actually like me?
Is it because of the Child, or is it because of love?
Tu Bai wanted to ask directly. But every time the words reached the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back down.
What if he said, "It's because of the Child"?
What if he says, "You're pregnant, so of course I have to take responsibility"?
Then what should she do?
Tu Bai did not dare to think about it.
He could only cling to him more. Be better. Be more obedient.
As long as he is happy, maybe he will..
Tu Bai himself didn't even know what followed that "then."
He just felt that he couldn't let Gojo Satoru discover that he was unhappy.
He couldn't let him feel that he was a burden.
Otherwise, he would like his even less.

On the afternoon of Day 3, the Mobile Phone rang.
Tu Bai picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Tu Bao.
He answered.
Two faces popped up on the Screen. Tu Bao squeezed into the front, his Pink curly hair messy, his baby face pressed very close. Tu was behind him, his Silver White long curly hair draped over his shoulders, his peach-blossom eyes curved into crescents.
"Er Bao!" Tu Bao shouted.
"Second Brother," Tu called out as well.
Tu Bai propped his mobile phone up on the coffee table and leaned back into the sofa.
What is it?
Let me take a look at you," Tu Bao said. "You haven't spoken properly these past few days.
Tu Bai gave an "mm" in response.
Tu Bao stared at the Screen for a few seconds. Then, he frowned.
Er Bao, are you in a bad mood?
Tu Bai was stunned: "No."
Yes," Tu Bao said. "Every time you are in a bad mood, the corners of your mouth droop.
Tu Bai subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth.
Tu let out a laugh from behind.
“Speak up.” Tu Bao held his Mobile Phone, his expression serious. “What's wrong?”
Tu Bai was silent for a few seconds.
He looked at the two faces on the Screen. One was his Eldest Brother, who had protected him since childhood and worried about everything on his behalf. The other was his Younger Brother, who had been protected by him since childhood and had now grown up.
"As for Senpai," he spoke.
Tu Bao's eyes lit up: "What's wrong with him?"
He confessed his love to me a few days ago.
Wow!" Tu Bao cried out, "Isn't that a good thing?
Tu also raised an eyebrow.
Tu Bai continued, "He said he likes me, that he wants to be together."
And then?
But.." Tu Bai paused, "It's because of the Child.
Tu Bao was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Because I am pregnant," Tu Bai said. "That's why he said it. He doesn't actually like me.
Tu Bao opened his mouth, then closed it again. He looked at Tu, Tu was also looking at him.
Then Tu Bao spoke, his voice loud enough to shake one's ears:
Tu Bai, are you stupid?
Tu Bai shuddered at the shout.
How do you know he did it for the Child?" Tu Bao glared at him. "Did he tell you?
He didn't say, but—
But what?" Tu Bao interrupted him, "Is that what you think?
Tu Bai opened his mouth.
Tu Bao continued to roar, "You've loved overthinking since you were a child! You always assume the worst about everything! When someone is kind to you, you think they have an ulterior motive! When someone tells you they love you, you think it's just for the Child!"
Tu Bai wanted to argue, but he was speechless.
Tu spoke up leisurely from behind:
Second Brother, I have a question for you.
Tu Bai looked at him.
Do you like him?
Tu Bai fell silent for a second, then nodded.
I like him.
Then that's enough," Tu said. "Whether it's for the Child or not, if you like him, go after him.
Tu Bai froze.
Tu continued, "If you catch up to him, he'll be yours. Just ask him clearly when the time comes, alright? What's the use in overthinking things now?"
Tu Bao nodded frantically beside him: "Right, right, right! Tu is right!"
Tu Bai looked at him, then looked at Tu.
Tu tilted his head, his peach-blossom eyes curving as he gave a somewhat sly smile.
Second Brother, do you want me to teach you a few tricks?
Tu Bai looked at him warily: "What kind of way?"
Tu leaned closer to the Screen and spoke a few words in a lowered Voice.
Tu Bai's face turned red in a moment.
You.. what kind of nonsense is this!
It works," Tu said with an innocent expression. "Tsunayoshi falls for that kind of thing.
Tu Bao asked curiously from the side, "What method?"
Tu glanced at him: "You want to learn?"
Tu Bao thought about it, his face flushed slightly.
.. I do.
Tu laughed. He lowered his voice and said a few more words.
Tu Bao's face grew redder and redder, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Tu Bai looked at the two of them, suddenly feeling a sudden urge to laugh.
Three Rabbits, gathered together to research how to seduce men.
Who would believe it if this were told?
After Tu finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at him.
Remembered?
Tu Bai nodded with a flushed face.
Tu added another sentence: "The hair must be wet, the shirt must be his, don't button too many buttons."
Tu Bai's face turned even redder.
Tu Bao raised his hand from the side: "What about me? What about me?"
Tu looked at him: "Your situation is different; I'll speak to you privately later."
Tu Bao nodded, his face full of anticipation.
Tu Bai looked at the two people on the Screen and suddenly felt that his heart wasn't so heavy anymore.
Alright," he said. "I'm hanging up.
Go for it, Er Bao!" Tu Bao shouted, "Get him!
Tu waved his hand: "I'll wait for your good news."
Tu Bai hung up the video call and tossed his Mobile Phone to the side.
He leaned back in the Sofa, staring at the Ceiling.
The words Tu said replayed in his Brain, word by word.
Be proactive. That's how you get a man.
Let him see you. Make him unable to resist.
Tu Bai took a deep breath.
I'll try it tonight.
