Good Kid, Being a Single-Parent Family Is Great

Jiang Wen had been saved by Song Huisheng many times.

In the bathtub, on the rooftop, in his own room...

From the age of sixteen to eighteen, he had managed to keep going only because Song Huisheng kept pulling him back.

After they started dating in college, Jiang Wen's unusual behavior grew more and more severe, until Song Huisheng had to pull him back every single day.

When Jiang Wen was twenty, they slept together one last time. Then he heard Song Huisheng say, his voice heavy with exhaustion, "Let's break up."

Song Huisheng said, "I can't save you. I'm tired, too."

Song Huisheng, who had always seemed energetic, as if he possessed endless vitality, said he was tired.

Jiang Wen stared at the ceiling and said nothing.

The next day, he received his diploma and left the school, and Song Huisheng's life, without looking back.

He had planned to travel carefree for a few months, then find somewhere with warm weather and blooming flowers, and leave this exhausting world behind.

But two months later, a doctor told him he was pregnant.

A vibrant little life was growing inside him. Jiang Wen sat motionless in his hotel room for a long while, then abandoned his plan.

Years later, a parenting reality show suddenly became a hit. The ones bringing in viewers were Jiang Wen, a sickly dad who was always smiling, and his well-behaved little boy, unusually mature for his age, who cheered Dad up and reminded him to take his medicine every day.

Father and son were inseparable. Jiang Wen always found the little joys in life and pointed them out to his son.

Viewers were moved to tears: "Sob, this is so sweet. I'm so jealous of Jiang Wen, someone who loves life so much. And that sweet little boy! Do you need a mom/dad?"

The show became a sensation across every platform, and nearly everyone was talking about Jiang Wen and his son.

In a high-end office building in the capital, two executive assistants were chatting privately when their boss, Song Huisheng, who cared about nothing outside of work, suddenly looked up. "Who did you say?"

After Jiang Wen left, Song Huisheng often dreamed that they were living in a novel, where Jiang Wen was destined to leave him for good in his twenties.

Day and night, he was consumed by regret, regretting letting Jiang Wen go and hating that he couldn't find him.

At last, the hit parenting show gave him a chance.

Viewers competing to be the little boy's parents suddenly noticed a diamond bachelor making a surprise appearance on the show, claiming to be the boy's other dad?

Viewers: "Hey, you're handsome, but you can't cut in line."

The little boy, earnestly: "Thank you, Uncle, but Dad and I are doing just fine. We don't need anyone else to join us."

Song Huisheng looked at the little boy, who looked so much like him, and patiently coaxed him. "Good boy, I'm here to help take care of your dad."
