[Synopsis]
Jiang Qingheng, an outstanding graduate of A University's Class of 2020 acting department. Gentle as a central air conditioner and an actor with flawless technique, he gave up acting after graduation, took over the family business, and left show business for good.
Lu Zhuo, an outstanding graduate of A University's Class of 2020 acting department. As aloof as a pine tree in the snow and with a voice like the moon setting over crows, he was a child star and the campus heartthrob. His career soared after graduation, and he was crowned Best Actor at just 25.
These two were famous for not getting along back in college. Whenever one of them worked harder, the other worked even harder, both determined to claim first or second place on the comprehensive evaluation rankings. After graduation, they became like two kings who never crossed paths, with no contact whatsoever.
But on the night Jiang Qingheng got engaged to the eldest son of the wealthy Chen family, Lu Zhuo and Jiang Qingheng appeared together. Not only that, they immediately got into a spectacular fight.
Halfway through the fight, the two leads said something shocking
Lu Zhuo tore off the top button he always kept fastened at his collar. His tie was loose, he looked disheveled, and he cursed through red eyes and ragged breaths: “Jiang Qingheng, how dare you...”
“How dare you cheat on me!!”
“You literally just gave birth to my child yesterday!!”
Jiang Qingheng, meanwhile, grabbed Lu Zhuo by the back of the neck, one step at a time. He leaned in until their noses were almost touching and ground out through clenched teeth:
“Lu Zhuo, are you out of your mind! I told you I don't like men, and I don't like you. Are you deaf, or do you just not understand!”
Just then, a cute little boy appeared from nowhere at the center of the storm. He glanced at the two men, sweaty and bruised from their fight, and his little mouth turned down as he began to cry.
“Papa, Daddy, didn't you say you'd take Tuantuan to the amusement park?”
The two who had just been at each other's throats immediately stood down. The next moment, one picked him up while the other offered him candy, and together they soothed the child.
Their movements were so natural and fluid, so completely unconcerned with anyone else, as if this were perfectly ordinary.
Everyone's worldview shattered as they stared in shock: When on earth did the two of you secretly have a kid!
