Reborn into a Hamster for 233 Days

Chapter 202 - THE FINAL WEEK



CHAPTER 202: THE FINAL WEEK

Time flew by at the Four Seasons Manor. Xiao Yu didn’t feel like he had adequate time to enjoy living like a king before the time was almost over.

Of course, his workaholic tendency was one of the reasons.

Yan Jin complained about this even more than Xiao Yu did. He’d worked so hard to bring Xiao Yu out for a honeymoon, and in the end, Xiao Yu spent day and night on his computer. If he didn’t know better, he would have thought Xiao Yu had married his computer.

So, with one week left in the honeymoon, Yan Jin began to get angry.

It was already too late by the time Xiao Yu discovered something wrong with his lover.

As always, he finished up his design and came out of the room. Then, he saw Yan Jin lying on the bed.

Lying on the bed wasn’t a problem. The problem was that it was only 7 PM. It had been less than two hours since they had finished dinner.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Xiao Yu poked Yan Jin in the back.

Yan Jin didn’t move, as if he was already asleep.

“If you sleep this early, you won’t be able to fall asleep at night.” Xiao Yu switched to pushing Yan Jin.

Yan Jin still didn’t move.

“Why are you sleeping so early? The night is still young. Want to have some fun?”

Though Xiao Yu was already being quite explicit, the person on the bed still didn’t move.

Xiao Yu pushed and pulled at him for a while longer but saw that Yan Jin wasn’t going to respond. In the end, he huffily gave up and got off the bed.

There was a saying that nothing could wake up someone who was pretending to sleep.

Xiao Yu now experienced the latest version of this.

Although the bed was very large, Yan Jin was facing the wall and was very close to it. Xiao Yu had no way of seeing Yan Jin’s expression.

With no other option left, Xiao Yu sat helplessly on the bedside for a while. But, he wasn’t thinking about how to coax Yan Jin. He was thinking that Chairman Yan was cute when he was angry.

Perhaps no one could have expected that Yan Jin could throw such a childish tantrum.

Xiao Yu waited a for a while longer without any movement from Yan Jin, so he turned and left.

The weight on the bed suddenly lessened, and everything was silent.

Yan Jin, who had been feigning sleep this whole time, stealthily opened his eyes. He adjusted the position of his phone’s camera to check behind him.

Nobody was there.

He left just like that?

Chairman Yan didn’t throw many tantrums, but now he was really unhappy.

If he went to find Xiao Yu now, wouldn’t his previous efforts be wasted?

No way! He had to force Xiao Yu to recognize his own mistakes.

Feeling a great sense of injustice, Yan Jin tossed his phone aside and was really prepared to go to sleep.

Just as he was about to fall asleep in his sadness, he suddenly felt something very fluffy and itchy on his face.

At the same time, he heard a very familiar sound from next to his ear.

“*Squeak*.” You really were going to sleep? Are you feeling ill?

Yan Jin opened his eyes blearily, then grabbed the pudgy ash-grey hamster.

“Fishy.” Yan Jin’s voice sounded a little hoarse.

“*Squeak*.” Yep, that’s me.

Right, that was Xiao Yu’s plan to dissipate Yan Jin’s anger. He had changed into a hamster and was going to act cute.

Acting cute to seek forgiveness was more fitting as a hamster.

Xiao Yu wiggled his way forward, loosening Yan Jin’s grip on his waist so he could put his paws on Yan Jin’s forehead.

“*Squeak*.” It feels a little warm. Do you want any medicine?

“I’m completely fine. It’s your paws that are too cold.” Yan Jin lightly pinched Xiao Yu’s paws. “You took off your clothes too early.”

When he used the red secret drug, Xiao Yu took around fifteen minutes to change from human to hamster. Because his clothes would fall on him when he changed, Xiao Yu would take off his clothes before the change whenever possible. From touching Xiao Yu’s ice-cold paws, Yan Jin knew that Xiao Yu had been naked in the air conditioning for too long.

“*Squeak*… *Achoo*!” Just when Xiao Yu wanted to defend himself, his mouth gave himself away with a sneeze.

“*Squeak*” It’s not what it looks like…

Yan Jin didn’t give him any further opportunities to explain and directly stuffed Xiao Yu into the blankets.

In truth, Xiao Yu had gotten a little cold. After being thrown into the warm environment, he sneezed three more times. In the end, he curled up tighter into Yan Jin’s palm.

“*Squeak*.” It’s probably not a cold.

Yan Jin grunted in response.

The hamster and human preserved their extreme proximity in silence for a while.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu poked his head out from the blankets and squeaked at Yan Jin.

“Hmm?”

“*Squeak*.” I neglected you for a while. I’m very sorry.

“Mmm.” Yan Jin grunted casually. His expression was unclear.

“*Squeak*.” I’ll play with you over the next few days, okay? Xiao Yu said sincerely.

The expression in Yan Jin’s eyes flickered.

Xiao Yu persistently rubbed against Yan Jin’s palm. He even flipped himself over to reveal his soft white stomach.

Finally, Yan Jin could resist no longer. He grabbed a hold of Xiao Yu’s waist from behind with one hand and used his other hand to start tickling and tormenting him.

“*Squeak squeak squeeaak*!!”

Xiao Yu quickly came to the point of absolute surrender. He gasped for air, and tears spun in his eyes. He’d finally won Yan Jin’s forgiveness using this piteous form.

“I’ll let you off this one time. However, in the future…”

Halfway through, Yan Jin suddenly realized that there probably wouldn’t be a second honeymoon. The clouds that Xiao Yu had spent so much effort clearing began to quickly re-form under his very eyes.

“*Squeak squeak*!” There’s still a week! Let’s enjoy the remaining time together!

I spent so much effort to fix Yan Jin’s mood! I can’t let it all go to waste like this! Xiao Yu’s brain screeched.

“There’s only a week left.” Yan Jin’s tone was heavy and full of complaints.

“*Squeak squeak squeak*…” Then, then, wait for a while and I’ll repay you! Going abroad or wherever is fine! But, the Autumn Conference is coming, and SI is also advancing…

“Those are your words.”

“*Squeak squeak*.” Xiao Yu nodded quickly.

“Alright, let’s… sleep then.” Yan Jin properly covered Xiao Yu in the blankets.

?? Xiao Yu looked at Yan Jin blankly.

“You were cold for a bit. Any more messing around and you’ll really get sick.”

Yan Jin felt the temperature of Xiao Yu’s forehead just like Xiao Yu had done with him earlier. Then, he softly said next to Xiao Yu’s ear, “Close your eyes and sleep. I’ll stay with you.”

Xiao Yu felt somewhat reluctant, but in the end, he still closed his eyes.

After a while, Yan Jin softly said, “Fishy.”

There was no response. The steady expansion and contraction of Xiao Yu’s stomach indicated he was already in dreamland.

Yan Jin suddenly had a bad premonition.

……

As it turned out, Murphy’s Law didn’t overlook them.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yu reverted to his human form and had a high fever.

Xiao Yu was sick, not Yan Jin.

Because they had gone to sleep so early, Yan Jin was idly waiting for sunrise and quickly discovered Xiao Yu’s condition. He picked up Xiao Yu and rushed out.

Fortunately, Four Seasons Manor had its own fully-equipped infirmary. Getting a fever from a cold wasn’t a complex sickness, so the doctor was able to quickly control the fever.

Muddleheaded, Xiao Yu climbed back into bed in the very early hours. Yan Jin couldn’t sleep, so he instead leaned against the headboard and watched Xiao Yu’s sleeping expression.

Yan Jin didn’t know how long he watched for. Only when the early morning rays finally hit Xiao Yu’s face through the windows did Yan Jin realize his eyes were aching.

He leaned over and put his own forehead against Xiao Yu’s to check his temperature. Then, he climbed into the blankets, wrapped Xiao Yu in his embrace, and closed his eyes.

“I forgive you, you dummy.”

……

For sicknesses like the common cold, medical science had an interesting saying: “If you take medicine, you’ll recover in a week. If you don’t, then you’ll recover in seven days.”

Thus, the rest of their honeymoon ended with Xiao Yu recovering from his cold.

This time, Xiao Yu was the depressed one, not Yan Jin.

From just this little cold, not only were all of Xiao Yu’s outdoor activities canceled, but even his diet was carefully controlled. The air conditioner was set no lower than 25° C (77° F), and he could forget about consuming the secret hamster-changing drug whose main ingredient was alcohol.

On the return trip, Xiao Yu was deeply sighing the entire time.

Yan Jin couldn’t bear it any longer and gave Xiao Yu a solid smack.

“Ow! What are you doing?!”

“I should be the one saying that. Do you look like someone who came back from a honeymoon? People in the company are going to laugh at you.”

“I don’t care if they laugh at me. I’m just… feeling regretful.” Xiao Yu gloomily leaned over and gave Yan Jin a kiss. In a low voice, he said, “We didn’t even do that very much.”

“Are you that thirsty? I’ll satisfy you however much you want when we get home,” Yan Jin mocked.

“… Hmph.”

Xiao Yu had wanted to complain but had second thoughts when he thought back to what had happened. The best times had been squandered by him, and the last week had passed with him recovering from his cold. He couldn’t really voice his complaints justifiably.

In the end, Yan Jin had suffered the most…

Xiao Yu guiltily looked at Yan Jin.

“Stop thinking so much. You were never that smart to begin with.” Yan Jin knocked on Xiao Yu’s head with a knuckle. “Finish everything you need to finish, then we can go on however many honeymoons we want.”

“Mmm, well, that’s true.” After being convinced by Yan Jin’s words, Xiao Yu leaned his head on Yan Jin’s shoulder with a guilty heart. He intimately covered Yan Jin’s hand with his own and began to suggestively pinch it.

The corners of Yan Jin’s lips rose.

……

After sacrificing his honeymoon to work, Xiao Yu’s performance at this year’s Autumn Conference was unrivaled. YL’s entire design department performed as never before under Xiao Yu’s lead. At the same time, SI, which had been enthusiastically promoted by the media, finally was fully exposed at the year’s largest competition.

While YL showed that their entire team had taken another large step forward under the mystery designer’s lead, SI demonstrated just how shameful of a showing their lack of cohesion could lead to.
