I'm the Kid in a Chasing-Your-Wife-to-the-Crematorium Novel

[Main text in third person, focused on the kid, with the parents' romance woven in]

My name is Wen Congjian. I grew up with my dad in a small town.

The town is small, but the people here are all kind.

I've lived here for many years and made lots of friends. Unlike them, I grew up in a single-parent family. But no one ever made fun of me for it. If anything, they envied me, because my dad was so beautiful that he was famous throughout the town.

So many people liked my dad. There was Brother Lou upstairs, who always brought us food and bought me snacks. There was my math teacher, who was always asking me about Dad. And there was the doctor who came to our home when I was sick...

I always thought my dad would eventually choose one of them to be with. Then one day, a car that looked completely out of place in our little town stopped outside our building.

A man just as beautiful as my dad stepped out.

He seemed so out of place in this town that I thought he had to be a tourist.

But to my surprise, he came over to me. After looking at me for a long time, he crouched down, trembling slightly, and spoke to me for the first time. "Do you know who I am? I'm your dad."

The candy in my hand dropped to the ground. I was furious, spun around, and ran upstairs, shouting, "Dad, some shameless creep is trying to take advantage of me! Come yell at him!"

At the time, I had no idea this would be the last normal day of my life.

After that, my world came crashing down.

The man who had tried to take advantage of me moved in across the hall. Every day, he'd show up at our place before dawn to bother us, then mysteriously pop up wherever we went.

Dad seemed to hate him. He took me away from the town, and from then on, we ran while he chased us.

Every day after that, I had to watch the two of them go through the same melodramatic routine: You love me, I love you, do you even love me? I really do love you.

After years of this, Dad finally forgave him.

Only then did I learn that I was living in a novel about a domineering CEO winning back his wife, and that my two fathers were the main characters.

Looking at the two men downstairs, one with a cold expression and the other clinging to him, I couldn't help sighing after learning the truth. "No wonder there were so many melodramatic plot twists."

Dad and Father finally made up, and the story reached its happy ending. I thought everything was over.

But many years later, when I was in my second year of high school, a transfer student joined our class.

He was amazing. He took the top spot in our grade as soon as he arrived. I was furious and chased after him day and night, but I still couldn't take first place back.

From then on, he became the person I hated most in class. No contest.

But at a class reunion after graduation, I got completely drunk. When I woke up, I found myself in a strange room, with the male classmate I hated most lying beside me.

This...

Dad and Father's story was about a domineering CEO winning back his wife.

What about me?

Was this a school romance about accidentally sleeping with my nemesis?

Well... I wouldn't be opposed to that.

The year Yan Guanzhao turned twenty, a paternity test report turned his life upside down.

He wasn't a member of the Yan family. He had been switched at birth.

His adoptive parents said they would still treat him as their child, but Yan Guanzhao knew something had changed.

So he promptly packed his things, moved out, and returned everything he had received over the years.

He moved from a luxury apartment in the city center to an old residential complex, started working to support himself, and began living a life he had never imagined before.

The sudden weight of responsibility left him with no time to feel sad.

But when he came home from work one day, he unexpectedly found his former older brother standing outside his door.

The eldest son of the Yan family, Yan Guannan.

The light in the stairwell was broken, but the moonlight still showed his expensive suit, completely out of place in the shabby surroundings.

Yan Guanzhao couldn't make out his face. He could only see the half-smoked cigarette between his fingers glowing in the dark.

Yan Guanzhao instinctively wanted to call him Brother, but quickly realized he no longer had the right to.

So he pointedly left out the title and asked, "What are you doing here?"

As soon as he spoke, the man stubbed out his cigarette and turned to him. His voice gave nothing away as he asked him, as casually as ever, "What, you don't want your brother anymore?"
