A Tight-Lipped Dad, an Ostrich Mom, and a Son Who Can't Keep a Secret

[Showbiz + Pregnancy and Runaway + Raising a Kid]

Cold-faced, taciturn, no-nonsense top × severely antisocial, avoidant bottom = a kid who can't keep a secret

After being reborn, Yin Cixing learns that he's a cannon-fodder supporting character in a showbiz novel. The protagonist bottom keeps targeting him simply because he shares a dorm room with the protagonist top, the all-around ACE Xie Youting.

He moves out in the middle of the night. Before he can even make his bed, Xie Youting storms in, radiating menace.

That night, Yin Cixing discovers for the first time that his aloof roommate can not only talk, but also... talk dirty.

The next day, Xie Youting drags Yin Cixing back to the dorm, leaving him utterly disheveled.

When they live together again, his roommate turns into a total brute, ready to go at it at the drop of a hat. Yin Cixing is furious, but doesn't dare say a word.

As soon as their disbandment concert ends, he hops on a plane overseas.

But as he watches his belly grow day by day, Yin Cixing falls into deep thought...

Xie Youting, who witnessed Yin Cixing die, has also been reborn.

He keeps Yin Cixing in sight at all times, afraid something might happen to him again.

Given a second chance at life, he doesn't want to leave any regrets. He decides to confess to Yin Cixing as soon as their disbandment concert ends.

But he keeps putting it off until Yin Cixing vanishes without a trace.

For four years, Xie Youting searches the whole world like a madman.

At last, he corners the person he's been longing for on a street in a remote town overseas.

But a little dumpling, adorable as a doll, clings to Yin Cixing's leg and stares at him curiously.

Xie Youting's eyes widen in disbelief, and his voice trembles. "Is this... your son?"

Yin Cixing quickly scoops the little dumpling behind him and scratches his head awkwardly. "He's a friend's kid... I'm just looking after him..."

To his surprise, the little dumpling pops out on his own. "Big brother, don't listen to him. All his friends are ordinary men, and they can't have babies."

Xie Youting: ...?

That's a lot to take in.

Afraid Yin Cixing will run away again, Xie Youting decides to keep the kid close and publicly claims he's married with a child, shocking the entire industry.

Everyone can't help asking, eager for gossip: "Zaogao, tell us quietly, who's your mommy?"

The kid blinks. "The prettiest star in the whole world."

Everyone wipes away tears in unison. Poor kid, he lost his mom so young. We're the worst!

The original novel's protagonist bottom tries to win the kid over to get ahead, but gets snubbed too:

"It's hard enough for Dad to win Mommy back. Don't make things harder for him."

Only later, when the family of three is photographed at an amusement park, does everyone finally realize:

Wait... that Star?

[Content Warnings]

* A melodramatic, sweet romance in a world where same-sex marriage is legal. No intersex characters, no ABO, and pregnancy is caused by mysterious powers.

* Not everyone can give birth! Only Star can! The kid doesn't normally call Star "Mom". He only says that in public because he doesn't want people gossiping.
