Cold, arrogant, troublesome, sharp-tongued, and prejudiced against others, including being severely homophobic. That was Tao Xiaoman's first impression of his three college roommates.
But he really got to know Gu Linyan one spring night, amid chirping insects, fluttering birds, and restless cats.
The usually aloof, chaste man was sitting there with his legs brazenly spread, taking care of certain things by himself.
When he saw Tao Xiaoman, there was no embarrassment or panic in his eyes. Instead, he took Tao Xiaoman's hand and gently coaxed him by the ear: "Don't you help Pei Jingfeng take care of things every night?"
"We share a dorm room. Why not help me too?"
Pei Jingfeng was his good friend, just as shameless as the other one. He was the one who had picked on Tao Xiaoman from the first day of school, called him pretty, frail, and unmanly, and told him to stay away.
And he was also the one who'd gone crazy and pinned Tao Xiaoman against the wall, kissing him until his mouth tasted of rust.
Later, he pursued Tao Xiaoman relentlessly and insisted on becoming his husband.
For the sake of a five-figure monthly allowance, Tao Xiaoman reluctantly agreed.
But on many dark, lonely nights, a message would suddenly pop up on his WeChat: [I'll give you six figures to spend tonight with me.]
Later, even Wen Tingxu, the only normal one and the universally beloved, gentle-hearted good guy on campus, cornered him in an empty alley. "I know what's going on between you and those two. If you don't want to be disgraced, you know what to do, don't you?"
He spoke slowly and calmly, but he looked more and more like a bamboo pit viper that had gained human form.
Not a single one of them was any good, Tao Xiaoman thought. What was wrong with taking some money from them? It was compensation for emotional distress!
Then he discovered that there was something growing in his belly, and he had no idea whose it was!
He had no time to investigate this medical miracle of a world. He packed up and fled overnight to his hometown in Northeast China.
As the little life grew bigger by the day, he sat helplessly in a luxurious private maternity suite, playing on his phone, when he came across a short video from Into Science.
But even Into Science couldn't explain to him how a man could give birth to a seven-jin, eight-liang baby boy.
So he simply named his son Xiao Ke.
By the time his three roommates came after him, Xiao Ke could already talk. He grinned at them and shared the cartoon he'd just watched: "Little tadpole, looking for Daddy."
To Tao Xiaoman's horror, the three men's faces turned greener and greener...
