Baking Pottery
As time passed, Shu Jintians stomach grew. Not even ten days later, his stomach became a circle larger than an inflating balloon. It was stretched taut, and Shu Jintian decided to just not touch or look at it. He could still feel it just from the tightness of his belly.
Shu Jintian also became increasingly uneasy. His imagination would run wild whenever he had a moment of carelessness, and he couldnt control it at all, especially at night. To shift his attention, Shu Jintian constantly looked for things to do all day, so that his sleep at night could become good.
During the past few days, Shu Jintian took great pains to figure out a good way to build a kitchen. The kitchen was built against a tree, three meters long and four meters wide, and the roof was triangular.
After he made the kitchen, Shu Jintian began making charcoal. Shu Hanyu was responsible for gathering wooden sticks of uniform thickness and finer pieces of wood. Shu Jintian then tended the bonfires wood, put them into the mud stove he had built up in advance, and sealed it tight.
Shu Jintian didnt know how long it took for charcoal to be done, so he left all of them overnight. One stove wasnt enough for this, and so Shu Jintian built up five stoves to be used alternatingly.
Making charcoal sort of wasted fire, so Shu Jintian thought of using these fires to bake porcelain.
Shu Jintian dug out some mud by the river, which came in varied colours. There was brown, gray, earthy yellow, and some yellowish-red, and even black.
The colours were different, and the muds density and texture were different as well. Some easily came apart when in clay form, and some were easier to mold into the form Shu Jintian wanted.
Actually, the black mud had the most delicate texture, thick enough that he could pull it and it wouldnt come apart, but it was also a little sticky, and so the form he molded out was a little warped.
Shu Jintian didnt know the pros and cons of each colour, so he just molded out a few of the shapes he wanted with each colour. The large ones were a semicircle the size of the pomelo, and the small ones were a water cup the size of the fist. The wares he molded were placed at a ventilated place to dry.
Shu Jintian molded a lot of mud pitchers in one go, but among the wares that were baked after they were dried, nine out of ten were failures. Some had been directly smashed to pieces, while others couldnt be used even after being baked. The ashy yellow jars had the highest success rate, but the surface was a little ashy, and was like it wasnt baked.
The most unfortunate one was a red little bowl Shu Jintian had molded very prettily. It was just about to succeed when at the end, a tiny crack appeared, and so it failed at the final step.
Only one black, square-shaped jar that had a warped form and was irregular and barbed because of it sticking to his hand was still intact after it was baked. But because Shu Jintian wasnt optimistic about it at the beginning, the black jar wasnt made attentively, and it was only fist-sized.
Although the only success was a jar that wasnt very aesthetic, Shu Jintian still felt very accomplished. He had only been groundlessly experimenting and had unexpectedly succeeded.
Because it wasnt glazed, the jar wasnt as smooth as porcelain, but it only became harder, and its surface did not fall off.
Shu Jintian thought that it was probably due to the temperature not being high enough after he had taken away a few of the better firewood to make charcoal, so the fire wasnt intense enough sometimes. In the future he could try baking it in a sealed stove; perhaps there would be unexpected results.
But for some reason, he still could not reach the same level of that day he succeeded. Shu Jintian touched his growing stomach and lowered his lashes to hide the loneliness and sadness in his eyes.
Shu Jintian took a bath with the water boiled in the seashell and his trembling body was carried into bed by Shu Hanyu, covering himself up in the blankets and shrinking into a ball.
There was a new ornament on the bed, which was the little jar he had baked during the day. Because the baked jar was too small in volume, it couldnt really be filled, so Shu Jintian was now using it as the night pearls base.
Shu Jintian felt a little uneasy in his heart, because his stomach seemed strange. Ever since the afternoon, there was a slight dropping feeling, as well as a faint, dull pain.
Shu Hanyu closed the door of the bed and brought Shu Jintian and the covers into his embrace.
Ever since the weather got colder, Shu Hanyu no longer entered the females quilt, because he felt that his body temperature would be too low for Shu Jintian, and pressing against the female would only make him even colder.
Is Tiantian very cold? Do you want another animal hide?
Shu Hanyu held Shu Jintian in his embrace and Shu Jintian poked his head out from under the covers.
Nope, I was just a little cold since I just took a bath. Im not cold anymore. At some point in time, Shu Jintian began to feel especially safe when pressed against Shu Hanyus body. Perhaps it was because he was sick! Shu Jintian secretly thought this.
Thats good. Shu Hanyu sighed in relief. It wasnt even the coldest period now. If Tiantian was unable to endure it now, then he would definitely be in danger during the cold season.
Shu Jintian shifted in Shu Hanyus embrace, adjusting his posture to one where he wouldnt press his stomach before lying down peacefully in Shu Hanyus hold. Shu Hanyu hugged him tightly like always, just like when he was in his snake form. In the past, Shu Jintian loathed such intimacy, but unknowingly, it had gradually turned into a sense of security.
Hanyu, its been a long time since weve done it. Lets do it once ba! The discomfort in his belly caused Shu Jintian to feel more and more uneasy, and merely resting in Shu Hanyus embrace was already no longer able to give him enough of a sense of security.
Shu Hanyu was stunned and looked at the females face in disbelief. Because of his pregnancy, the females face was slightly rounded but was still just as handsome. The purple halo gently spilled over his face, giving off a hazy sense of ambiguity.
Shu Hanyus heartstrings quivered. Tiantian had never taken the initiative to proposition him. Although he knew that the current weather wasnt the mating season, Shu Hanyu still couldnt quite resist.
Okay! Shu Hanyus voice was already a little husky.
Then hurry up and come into the covers. Im not going to come out. With his posture of lying against Shu Hanyus body, Shu Jintian pulled the blankets open and covered Shu Hanyu in it.
The instant he pressed against Shu Hanyu, Shu Jintian shivered from his slightly cold skin.
Is Tiantian still okay? Is it cold? Shu Hanyu held Shu Jintian, the warm little person causing him to be unable to let go. But the female in his embrace appeared to be shivering; was Tiantian cold?
Im fine. With the blanket over his head, he crawled onto Shu Hanyus body. But due to his overly large stomach, he could only sit on Shu Hanyus legs.
Alright, lets do it ba.
Seeing that Shu Jintian was cold, Shu Hanyu was afraid of freezing him and felt distressed. But it was rare for the female to want to mate this much, so he couldnt bear to refuse either, so he had no choice but to cooperate.
NSFWShu Hanyu reached out and probed the females hole. It was unexpectedly already wet, and the already prepped hole easily accepted two of Shu Hanyus fingers. It seemed that Tiantian really wanted it.
Shu Jintian gently rocked his somewhat swollen waist and urged, No need, just come in ba.
After saying that, without waiting for Shu Hanyu to respond, he grasped Shu Hanyus two vital parts with one hand, raised his butt, aimed it accurately, and unhesitatingly sat down.
Wu! Shu Jintian immediately let out an enduring, stifled moan. Although it was already lubed, it had been a long time since it had accommodated such large objects. Now that it was suddenly penetrated, his rear was slightly unable to adapt.
But Shu Jintian didnt hate such rough entry, because the discomfort in his hole allowed him to forget the indistinct, dull pain in his abdomen.
Tiantian! Shu Hanyu was provoked into being unable to restrain his desire from the females abrupt movement. Upon complete entry, he let out a satisfied groan. Forgetting about Shu Jintians current condition, he couldnt help but support Shu Jintians waist and firmly thrust up.
Ah~~ Shu Jintian immediately cried out, pressing against Shu Hanyus chest in a futile attempt to stop Shu Hanyus entry. With quivering lips, he said, Youre pressing against my stomach!
Only then did Shu Hanyu sober up with a start and abruptly paused, looking at Shu Jintian worriedly.
His stomach had only lightly bumped against Shu Hanyus stomach. It didnt hurt, but the sensation in his stomach made Shu Jintian feel a little strange.
You dont have to stop, Im fine. Just be gentler. As Shu Jintian spoke, he sat forward with his large stomach, inciting Shu Hanyu into taking a deep gasp.
Shu Hanyu gentled his strength this time, doing his best to advance more gently.
The purple night light was pushed over and rolled to the side, casting constantly surging shadows at the bed wall.
Not long after, Shu Jintian came, and Shu Hanyu efficiently took his member out.
Shu Jintian asked, puzzled, Youre not continuing? You havent come yet.
Shu Hanyu was panting and he softly kissed the females gasping, red lips before tenderly saying, Not today. Well do it again after Tiantian finishes laying the eggs. Im worried the current you cant bear it.
Ah? So its like this!
Shu Jintians originally stimulated blood instantly froze, and his heart that had relaxed slightly due to desire sank rock bottom as he sat motionlessly on Shu Hanyus body.
Worried that his body would be cold for Shu Jintian, Shu Hanyu hurried to bundle him out, then went out to fetch a dried grass ball used for showering to help Shu Jintian wipe off the liquid on his body.
Shu Jintian allowed Shu Hanyu to toss him around, not moving a muscle as his heart was extremely complicated for some time. He clearly knew that the big snake could not be able to reach such a day, but he didnt have the heart or perhaps, he didnt have the courage to tell the big snake the truth.
Shu Jintian admitted that he was cowardly, and did not dare to see Shu Hanyu being sad over him.
Tiantian should sleep ba, its very late already. After Shu Hanyu sorted everything out, he laid back down by Shu Jintians side and brought him into his embrace.
Mn! Shu Jintian quietly responded, his face pressed against Shu Hanyus body with the thin partition of the animal hide, and obediently closed his eyes.
The manual labour he did during the day caused Shu Jintians body to become very weary, and it wasnt long before he fell asleep after closing his eyes. When Shu Hanyu saw that the female was deep asleep, he placed the purple night pearl he really disliked outside the bed before holding the female and dozing off with his eyes closed.
In fact, Shu Jintians daily routine was very different from Shu Hanyus, but Shu Hanyu had always lived according to the females rhythm. So when Shu Jintian ate, he would occasionally eat tidbits as well, and when Shu Jintian slept, he would have a nap as well. Tonight was also the same.
The night was silent and tranquil as time quietly passed. At the time when it was the darkest before dawn, a whine like a mosquitos cry suddenly rang out within the pitch-black cavern.
Shu Jintian frowned, his shut eyelashes fluttering slightly. His red lips were slightly parted and his expression was pained as his mouth produced fragmented moans.
Shu Hanyu immediately opened his eyes. A lustrous green light emitted from his glossy eyes in the night, both strange and dangerous.
But the pair of dangerous eyes were reflecting nervousness and panic. Shu Hanyu hugged Shu Jintian who was tightly wrapped up in the blankets and worriedly said, Tiantian! Whats wrong?
Shu Hanyu gently shook Shu Jintian, his soft tone divulging evident anxiety.
