[Football] Football Stars Are Eager to Be Dads

♥♥Blurb: Gong Xingzhou is the protagonist of a classic soccer manga. His world really does revolve around him, but Gong Xingzhou always feels that his life is far too boring. And there's a question he's been pondering ever since birth that still hasn't received the right answer: Is this really how you're supposed to play soccer?

Cristiano Ronaldo, who accidentally falls into the manga world: Of course this isn't how you play soccer! The ball doesn't turn into a fireball when you kick it, for crying out loud!

Ronaldo gets a message telling him that the only way to return to the real world is to defeat the manga's protagonist. So he waits outside the school gates to ambush Gong Xingzhou as soon as class lets out.

Gong Xingzhou, who's been a primary school student for a very long time, tilts his head in confusion. "You want to play me?"

Ronaldo: Even if you were a baby, I'd still beat you. I want to go home!

Anyway, after a long back-and-forth, Ronaldo finally "defeats" Gong Xingzhou and leaves the manga world.

Ronaldo jumps for joy. But when he turns around, he sees Gong Xingzhou standing beside him with a schoolbag on his back. Gong Xingzhou is holding an ID card that says they're family.

Ronaldo: ?!

Ronaldo nervously finds Ferguson. "This is my... um, son. He... says he wants to play soccer. He'll go home after the match."

Ferguson: ? You're only twenty, and you're telling me you have a son who looks eighteen??

After coming to the real world, Gong Xingzhou automatically appears to be eighteen to anyone who doesn't know the truth. He gives them a well-behaved smile.

Ferguson was going to refuse, but he finds he can't turn down a player who can stand in front of his own goal and kick the ball into the opposing team's net.

At the end of the season, Gong Xingzhou heads home on his own because he still has final exams to take.

On the day the results come out, Gong Xingzhou plans to reward himself with a trip to the amusement park. But as soon as he leaves school, he spots someone familiar.

Gong Xingzhou tilts his head and walks over, reciting his line with practiced ease: "Kaka, are you here to challenge me too?"

Kaka is stunned. "You know who I am?!"

The new season begins, and now Kaka also has a "son" about the same age as himself.

Ronaldo: ?

Why does your new son look just like my old son? He's obviously my son!

Beckham: You two have it wrong. He's actually my godson.

Neuer: Of course my son is going to be a goalkeeper with me. You lot stop claiming he's good at playing forward. That's nonsense!

Neymar: Please don't be so possessive over other people's children, gentlemen. Thank you.

After yet another season ends, Gong Xingzhou heads home yet again to take his final exams. This time, a six-foot-two, blond, blue-eyed man jumps out to stop him and challenges him to a one-on-one.

He says his name is Haaland, and he really doesn't eat children.

Gong Xingzhou chews his gum and secretly makes a deal with the manga world in his head: This time, could you make me look a little like Haaland's older brother to outsiders? Please.
