We're Bros, What's Wrong with a Hug?

Duan Yubai is a die-hard straight man.

So imagine his shock when he opened his eyes to find himself lying on a king-sized bed, wearing handcuffs and shackles.

He suddenly remembered a novel he'd casually clicked on a few days ago, which had opened the door to the ABO world. It had disgusted him for days. Even watching a whole night's worth of explicit videos hadn't helped him get over it.

He just couldn't understand it. How could a man get pregnant by another man? What would they even use?

That place hurt whenever he had a particularly hard shit!

And now he was kneeling on the bed, his belly so heavy it felt like he'd swallowed a watermelon!

He! Was! Pregnant!

He'd been transmigrated into a cannon-fodder villain with the exact same name, who had shamelessly married Han Mingqian, another villain.

He'd insisted on bearing Han Mingqian's child, only to be tortured to death in the end. The child he'd risked his life to give birth to was thrown onto a trash heap.

It was so tragic that snow could fall in May, not just June.

When Duan Yubai read the book, even he thought Han Mingqian was cruel. Now, the person he feared was sitting right in front of him, a cigar in his mouth and a knife in his hand.

He tried to prove he was dreaming. He closed his eyes, opened them again, but didn't wake up...

He shut his eyes and opened them once more. A cold, impassive face loomed before him. Han Mingqian stared at him without a trace of expression.

He asked, "What trick are you trying to pull this time? You went to my company to seduce me. Are you that desperate to get fucked?"

Duan Yubai scrambled away, looking at Han Mingqian as if he were an alien.

He was terrified the man might come any closer.

Holy crap, bro! Don't do this, I'm completely straight!

After that, Duan Yubai must have acted so stupid that they took off his handcuffs and shackles.

To stay alive, Duan Yubai decided to get the big boss firmly wrapped around his finger. Wearing a blanket, he raced around the room, howling, "Be brothers with Old Han! I'll take a knife in both sides for Old Han!"

He stood on a chair like a monkey, and when he turned around after his impassioned speech, Han Mingqian was right behind him.

The big boss still had his usual dead-fish expression, but the corner of his mouth twitched.

He lifted Duan Yubai down in his arms. "There's no need for you to take a knife in both sides."

Everyone knew Han Mingqian was ruthless. Duan Yubai used to know that, too. Then he didn't anymore.

He thought Han Mingqian was a meddling, old-fashioned busybody.

He liked running around the house barefoot. They were all grown men, so what was there to be afraid of? But Han Mingqian followed him around, insisting on putting socks on his feet.

And he never stopped nagging.

"You'll get sick if you catch a chill."

Duan Yubai pretended to be dead.

Master Han, stop reciting that spell! It's going to kill me!

Han Mingqian really hated it when people tried to play little tricks in front of him, but Duan Yubai was the exception.

His friends all said he'd never find a wife in his life, and he thought so, too.

After Duan Yubai climbed into his bed, he truly, truly wanted to kill him, along with the little brat in his belly.

Just as he was seriously considering it, Duan Yubai suddenly seemed like a different person. He stopped trying to seduce him and ran whenever he saw him. The moment Han Mingqian got too close, he'd say, "Bro, don't do that. We're grown men, sticking together like that is awkward!"

Awkward?

Han Mingqian knew someone else had taken over the body, strange as that was.

But he thought maybe Heaven had finally sent him a wife.

The problem was, his wife was too slow-witted to get the hint.

At a drinking party, a friend asked whether Duan Yubai had been causing trouble again. Han Mingqian downed several cups in a row, his face turning dark.

The poor man with no wife to his name spoke slowly: "What trouble? He thinks of me as a brother."

1v1. The shou is super sunny and adorable, while the gong is a terrifyingly fierce, old-fashioned father figure.

The original host was tricked into climbing into the gong's bed. The shou only falls for him after transmigrating, and only then does the baby in his belly get a chance to see the light of day.
