Blurb:
Yu Qiu, a washed-up nobody from the fringes of showbiz, has recently been pestered by a little kid.
The kid says his name is Yu Jiujiu, that he comes from the future, and that his two dads are Yu Qiu and He Hongyi, Yu Qiu's lifelong nemesis.
Yu Qiu raises an eyebrow. Is He Hongyi itching for a beating again? Is he using this kid to mess with me?
But when the DNA test results come back, Yu Qiu really is Yu Jiujiu's biological father.
Just as Yu Jiujiu keeps chattering about wanting to see his other dad, He Hongyi,
Yu Qiu tears up the DNA report without changing expression. "From now on, I'm your only dad."
-
To save up for Yu Jiujiu's formula, Yu Qiu, who's hated by the entire internet, takes the kid onto a variety show about parenting.
When the news breaks, the internet erupts. Hashtags like #YuQiuAbusesChildren, #YuQiuGetOffTheParentingShow, and #KidRun spread across the trending topics.
Once the show starts,
the other guests are either running themselves ragged trying to take care of their kids or being driven to the brink by them.
Yu Qiu takes Yu Jiujiu up trees to pick peaches, down to the river to catch fish, sneaks out for late-night snacks, and throws tantrums to fight the show's unfair rules.
Yu Jiujiu doesn't cry or fuss. Even when he's covered in mud and his mouth is greasy, he clings to Yu Qiu, eyes sparkling as he blinks nonstop. "Dad, you're so amazing! I love you mostest, mostest, mostest, mostest!"
Viewers: Who wouldn't envy a childhood like that?!
Suddenly, the whole internet wants a big-brother-type dad like Yu Qiu and a sweet little kid like Yu Jiujiu!
-
Meanwhile, explosive rumors appear online, claiming Yu Qiu is a scumbag who got an innocent girl pregnant and stole her child, all to drum up publicity for the parenting show.
Then, during the next livestream, He Hongyi, the platform's CEO, appears as a special guest. Yu Jiujiu grabs He Hongyi by the sleeve and drags him right over to Yu Qiu, practically bursting with excitement. "Dad, look! My big dad came back from the dead!"
The whole internet goes wild!!!
The scumbag dad is suddenly a long-suffering single mom!
The runaway-pregnant-guy trope is happening right before my eyes!
After the truth comes out, Yu Qiu hides in a corner, drawing circles.
He Hongyi stands behind him with a faint smile. "I hear you got pregnant with our kid behind my back, then went around telling everyone I was dead?"
-
+Additional notes and warnings:
1. Both leads are each other's first and only partners, and the kid is their biological child. A no-brains, feel-good story, mostly about raising a kid, with romance as a side plot. Set in a fictional entertainment industry, with livestream comments.
2. Carefree young master bottom x scheming, mature CEO top x adorably clueless, sweet kid.
3. If you like variety shows, start at Chapter 9. The parenting show begins in Chapter 9.

Coming soon: Raising a Kid with a Tough Guy, Just Stay Alive. A healing slice-of-life story, top-focused.
Rugged CEO top x homemaker bottom like a snail girl x adorable mini little top
Yao Bai is a textbook domineering CEO.
A born workaholic and overtime fanatic, when the company gets busy, he rolls up his sleeves and joins the staff.
His life is a straight line between the gym and the office. No one has ever seen him smile, and his subordinates privately call him the Living King of Hell.
One early morning, Yao Bai opens the door before heading out for a run.
A little boy is crouched outside, head bowed as he counts ants. He's wearing a checked shirt and overalls, and has tiny arms and legs, with a baby bottle tucked under one arm.
Even worse, the kid has exactly the same face Yao Bai had as a child.
Isn't that Yao Bai when he was three years old?!
Little Yao Bai tilts his head and speaks with a tiny hiccup and a quiver in his voice, his chubby cheeks rosy and soft.
"W-who are you? Why are you at my house?"
Yao Bai slams the door.
Impossible. There is no way he was this stupid as a kid.
-
To keep his younger self from ending up on the streets,
Yao Bai eventually takes Little Yao Bai in.
Little Yao Bai is fussy and vain.
He wants warm milk in the morning.
He won't go to kindergarten unless he's wearing nice clothes.
And he expects a balanced dinner with meat and vegetables.
Yao Bai carelessly mixes formula with cold water.
He puts Little Yao Bai's thermal undershirt on over his clothes, uses long johns as a scarf, then styles his hair with wet hands.
He cooks a steak until it's done twenty times over, then hands it to Little Yao Bai with a cold expression. "There, now there are no germs. You can eat it without worry."
With bedhead and puffed-out cheeks, Little Yao Bai chews the steak with all his might.
His little face scrunches up like a steamed bun. He sighs.
"Yao Bai, what kind of life did you live before I came along?"
Wanting to help Big Yao Bai live a normal life,
Little Yao Bai looks around and decides that Yao Bai's secretary, Tao Tao, seems dependable.
He clutches Tao Tao's clothes and looks up at him. "Big brother, could you please take care of Yao Bai from now on?"
Tao Tao: ?!
Could it be that Little Yao Bai has already figured out he's been secretly in love with Yao Bai for decades?
-
Word spreads through their social circle that Yao Bai is married and has a child, but not a single photo ever gets out.
The most sought-after bachelor in their circle has been snatched away, and rumors run rampant.
Some say Yao Bai's wife is ugly and can't be shown in public.
Others say that though Yao Bai built himself up from nothing, he married into his wife's family, who are powerful and wealthy and must look down on him.
Some even start attacking the child's looks.
Then one day, a parenting show produced by Yao Bai's company begins airing.
Yao Bai and his family appear on camera as special guests.
Tao Tao is holding Little Yao Bai, and when he turns to look at Yao Bai, his gaze is practically dripping with affection.
[You call that look on Tao Tao's face a troubled relationship?]
[Little Yao Bai looks exactly like CEO Yao. CEO Yao ranked 13th on last year's list of the world's 100 most handsome men. And you're calling this kid ugly? Excuse me?]
[Wait, is it just me, or does Tao Tao's belly look kind of unusually big...?]
[Whoa... CEO Yao really has it all.]
[My CEO Yao really has it all!]
[Whoa... forget everything else. I'm dreaming about CEO Yao tonight! (gently closes eyes)]

Warnings:
Top-focused! The story revolves around Yao Bai.
A slice-of-life story about raising a kid and falling in love. The bottom has a crush on the top.
The bottom gazes at the top, and the top spoils the bottom.
It's basically a story about three family members healing one another. A little everyday sweetness, hehe.
