I Accidentally Got My Straight Childhood Friend Pregnant

The biggest surprise of Shen Jiali's life was accidentally ending up in bed with his childhood friend, Pei Yan.

Pei Yan is the guy who appears most often on the school's confession wall. More guys than girls have confessed to him, but unfortunately, he's a straight-as-an-arrow homophobe, and none of the guys who confess to him meet a good end.

Shen Jiali flees back to school in the middle of the night. The good news is, Pei Yan doesn't seem to remember that they slept together last night.

The next day, they meet as usual. Pei Yan still buys him breakfast and takes care of him, and the two are still childhood friends who can talk about anything.

Then strange symptoms begin appearing one after another: morning sickness, drowsiness, and a steadily growing waistline...

The moment he gets his test results, Shen Jiali questions his entire existence.

He's a man. He's pregnant?

He's actually carrying Pei Yan's child!

Shen Jiali doesn't dare tell Pei Yan the truth, much less admit what happened that night.

He can only hide it as best he can: wearing oversized clothes to cover his growing belly, hiding in the bathroom when he gets morning sickness, deliberately avoiding physical intimacy, and carefully maintaining the same friendship they've had for years.

Pei Yan has felt strange lately. Ever since that night, his childhood friend keeps appearing in his dreams.

In bed, in the bathroom, in front of the window, his childhood friend is trapped beneath him, the corners of his eyes flushed with a warm, damp red, his lashes quivering, a hot blush spreading from his ears to his collarbones...

For several days in a row, Pei Yan can't bring himself to look his childhood friend in the face.

Soon, he realizes his childhood friend is acting very strangely, too.

He's frequently nauseated, has no appetite, and looks haggard. Every time Pei Yan sees Shen Jiali's pale face, his heart aches. He tells him to go to the hospital for a checkup, but Shen Jiali keeps finding excuses to put it off.

Until one day, Pei Yan accidentally finds the pregnancy test results tucked beneath the bed slats.

At that moment, Pei Yan's reason crumbles. The precious little cabbage he's lovingly cared for since childhood has been trampled by someone else, and that person is a heartless jerk who ran off after having his way!

It doesn't matter if his childhood friend doesn't want to tell him. He can wait for him to explain what happened in his own words.

Pei Yan waits several days.

The day he can bear it no longer, Pei Yan corners his childhood friend in the room and kisses the person in his arms until he's trembling and weak. He gently strokes his brows and eyes with his fingertips.

"Baby, did he kiss you like this, too? Did he *do that* to you? Why can he do it, but I can't?"

"Have the baby. I'll raise it."

"I won't let you go looking for him, unless I'm dead."

Falling for someone else's wife is certainly hateful.

But if the wife I raised with my own hands is carrying someone else's baby, am I not pitiful, too?

Later, when Pei Yan learns the truth, he gets down on his knees.

[I'm jealous of myself, and I'm my own mistress]

Little bonus scene:

Ever since they were children, Pei Yan has taken care of almost everything in Shen Jiali's life, from his meals to his daily routine.

After the pregnancy comes to light, Pei Yan's old habits kick in again. He keeps an even closer eye on Shen Jiali, personally handling everything from food and clothes to travel, and almost wishes he could be pregnant in his place.

Once, Pei Yan tells him to wear warm socks. Shen Jiali gets too hot and refuses, annoyed by his nagging. In a fit of pique, he kicks the instigator in the chest. "You're such a nag. This is your fault anyway."

Pei Yan cups his foot in his big hand. Before he can say anything, his eyes turn red. "Baby, I'm sorry for making you go through all this."

Pre-order: The Boss of the Good-Natured Family

A sweet little beauty with a cream-filled, yellow-center heart, and her husband, a high-energy, hardworking man who won't soothe her unless she begs for it~

Sharp-tongued, pampered beauty of a bottom × taciturn, hardworking, rugged top

At twenty-seven, Ming Zhao is framed. Overnight, he goes from an enviable young heir of a wealthy family to a debt-ridden outcast hated by everyone.

He Yan lends him a hand, paying for his parents' medical care and helping him take back the company and rise to power. The two are happily together for ten years. Ming Zhao often teases him for being old-fashioned and dull.

But on the day He Yan dies, this man with only an elementary-school education writes him a ten-thousand-word love letter, leaves him most of his estate, and arranges the rest of his life for him.

When he wakes up, Ming Zhao has returned to twenty years earlier. He's eighteen, his family hasn't gone bankrupt yet, and He Yan is still called He Erniu.

Ming Zhao gets himself ready and goes to find his husband. But when he finally sees He Yan,

Ming Zhao knew that He Yan had grown up poor and struggling, but he never imagined it was this bad. His father is gravely ill, his mother is blind, and he has a younger brother to raise. All around them are relatives waiting for his father to die so they can seize the family's land.

Ming Zhao rolls up his sleeves and gets to work. Does anyone think they can bully his husband without asking him first?

But his husband is like a stone right now, cold and hard. On the first day they meet, he pins Ming Zhao against a door, pats his tender, pale cheek, and snarls at him to get lost.

Ming Zhao: So manly! So exciting! What do I do? I love him even more!
