Straight Beta, But Carrying Octuplets

Blurb: [Brooding, inhuman, fragmented gong x honest, simple-minded straight shou]

Zhi Xia is an ordinary beta in an ABO world. He doesn't have a genius brain that can defy fate. Not only did he become unemployed right after graduating, he was also saddled with astronomical medical bills and exorbitant rent, and somehow lost seven days of his memories.

Just when Zhi Xia thought his luck couldn't get any worse, he saw a popular livestreamer on the Star Network and immediately jumped into this business, despite having no experience at all. This time, fate finally smiled on him: he earned a few hundred star coins on his very first day streaming.

But why did the viewers in his livestream always say such strange things?

.

l: Xia Xia, stick out your tongue and let me see if you've bitten it until it broke the skin.

Zhi Xia knew this viewer was worried about him, so he happily stuck out his little tongue. Worried the viewer couldn't see clearly, he leaned in very close. "It hurts a tiny bit, but it should be better after a night's sleep." The small, brightly colored tip of his tongue showed as he spoke, while white saliva slid from the corner of his mouth.

The monsters lurking in the shadows stared with wide, blood-red eyes, fighting among themselves for the chance to go help that bright red little tongue heal its wound that night.

.

There were always very few people in the livestream, and his earnings soon evaporated. Zhi Xia was worried he'd never make any money again. Sensing his distress, a viewer asked him about it and offered a suggestion.

l: Xia Xia, you could try dressing up. Transformation videos have been really popular lately.

Zhi Xia: "But I don't have money to buy costumes."

l: Xia Xia, I do. Can I send some to you? I won't charge you. I just want to see how you look wearing them.

Zhi Xia had no money at all, but he didn't mind. He cheerfully sent the viewer his address and patiently waited for the clothes to arrive.

To his surprise, what showed up was a pile of unbelievably beautiful women's clothes.

Unable to put on the women's clothes by himself, Zhi Xia had no choice but to ask his roommate, who shared the rental with him, for help. He stood naked and asked them to help him. But he kept feeling their fingertips glide over his skin, leaving a sticky, damp sensation. Puzzled, he spoke up.

His roommate said, "Sorry, this is my first time helping someone get dressed."

Zhi Xia was instantly mortified. He could only endure it and obediently act like a doll so they could help him faster.

But he didn't know that his roommate's eyes had turned entirely blood-red. Their lips split slightly, revealing terrifying, sharp fangs, and a thick tongue crept out to lick the nape of his pale neck. Zhi Xia could clearly feel their hands helping him get dressed, but the strange sensation at his neck made his whole body tremble. As if sensing something was wrong, he stiffly turned around.

.

Ever since Zhi Xia started livestreaming in women's clothes, his earnings had skyrocketed. After a month, he had already made nearly a hundred thousand star coins, enough to pay off his astronomical medical bills and exorbitant rent.

For this stream, he was wearing women's clothes again, but only an ordinary crop top.

l: Xia Xia's tummy has been looking a little round lately. So cute.

Zhi Xia looked down and saw that his stomach really was a little round. He hurriedly said, embarrassed, "Maybe I've been eating way too much lately, so I've put on a little weight."

But as a beta, he had no idea that he was already giving off an incredibly alluring, sweet scent, like a delicate, delicious little cake. The monsters hiding in the dark corners desperately wanted to come over and tear him open and devour him.

Only when his belly kept growing, and he began to feel something moving and turning inside it from time to time, did even the slow-witted Zhi Xia realize something was wrong. He hurried to the hospital for an examination.

The kind doctor handed the medical report to the man before him. "Zhi Xia, you're pregnant. Eight babies in one litter."

Zhi Xia froze in place, his voice trembling. "Me? Pregnant? One pregnancy? Eight babies???"

The kind doctor stood up and drew the completely bewildered new expectant mother into his arms. The hand on his back could no longer keep up the pretense: it had become the tentacle of an indescribable monster, yet it still gently patted the man's back. "Zhi Xia, whose child are you carrying?"

The enraged monster and the inhuman beings secretly spying on him fought fiercely, each demanding to know who had touched his Xia Xia.
