Did My Ex Recognize Our Kid Today?

(Preorder: “I Really Can't Eat Another Bite, Daddy!!” Feel free to add it to your favorites~) [A sickly beauty bottom who lies through his teeth and knows how to play hard to get × a cold-faced, underwear-washing, obsessive abandoned-dog top] 1. He ran away from his wedding eight years ago. His child is seven. Dragging his sick body along, Pei Yin sneaks into the Empire of Ao An to rescue his tentacle baby, contaminated by an evil god. Instead, he runs straight into his deadbeat ex-husband, Elmo. Once a gentle prince, he has become sinister and violent, a completely different person. While Pei Yin is still reminiscing about how his baby fat has vanished, their child is already winding its tentacles around the man's finger. Elmo stares at the wriggling blob. “Where did that come from?” Pei Yin raises the corner of his eye. “I gave birth to it.” “When?” “November, eight years ago. Want me to work out the exact day I got pregnant for you?” Count back ten months, and it was their wedding night. Surely he gets it now? But Elmo's eyes turn red, and he grabs Pei Yin by the wrist. “You got into someone else's bed as soon as you ran away from our wedding?” Pei Yin: “...?” Is there something wrong with your head? 2. Running away from the wedding turned Elmo into a laughingstock across the empire. When they reunite eight years later, he stares at the bastard in Pei Yin's arms and vows to make the traitor pay. In the bedchamber, the prisoner lounges on the sofa like he owns the place. Elmo glances at his bare feet, frowns, and bends down. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees the bastard using all eight tentacles to peel grapes for Pei Yin. He lets out a cold snort. “You spoil him rotten, but the child you raised is good for nothing but serving people.” “Can't be helped.” Pei Yin tilts his head and smiles at the man kneeling on one knee to put on his socks. “He takes after his other dad.” Elmo's fingers go rigid. Oh, so the homewrecker is a total simp. Thinking that with disdain, he carefully smooths the edge of Pei Yin's sock and orders him coldly, “The other foot.” 3. Later, the truth comes to light: The little tentacle creature wasn't contaminated by an evil god. It was the child of a true evil god. Everyone demands to know the evil god's identity, but Pei Yin refuses to say a word. “You'd rather die than protect him?” Elmo's eyes are bloodshot, his voice crumbling from fury into a desperate plea. “Tell me the truth. After that... I'll treat you and the child well.” Pei Yin only looks at him and smiles. “The person I love is worth protecting with my life.” 4. After that person dies, Elmo sits alone in the empty bedchamber until dawn. Only when the morning light becomes blinding does he get up in a daze to make breakfast for the bastard. But he searches every corner and can't find the sticky little creature. When he turns around, a boy of seven or eight stands behind him, tear tracks still on his face, his eyes full of hatred. His face is exactly like Elmo's. [Bonus Scene] When he first became an evil god, Elmo struggled to accept his bizarre true form. Until his lover's fingertips brushed over each tentacle “Your Highness... you promised we'd share the rain and dew equally.” “Today... which one is it?” Only then did he realize... Being an evil god wasn't so bad after all. Reader's Guide: 1. New chapter every night at 9 p.m., without fail 2. One-on-one, both leads have only been with each other, happy ending, pregnancy, melodramatic angst, faked death and chasing the wife Preorder: “I Really Can't Eat Another Bite, Daddy!!” Spoiled, fiery brat × nurturing Daddy-type lover 1. Qiao Man could make a living off his looks, but instead he chose the bizarre competitive eating livestream scene. One day, he saw a fitness streamer call him out by name and pass judgment: “Keep eating like that, and you'll pay for it sooner or later.” The man's name was Qin Wenchu. A Chinese American with broad shoulders, long legs, and muscles all over, his account featured nothing but weightlifting and eating boiled chicken breast. In the comments, fans howled “Daddy!” at his biceps. Qiao Man sneered. What Daddy? He's just a poser using me to get his account off the ground. Just then, his roommate complained that he'd gained thirty pounds since getting into a relationship. Qiao Man had a brainwave: he'd trick Qin Wenchu into dating him, drag him out for food and drink, and cling to him around the clock until the man had no time to work out. He refused to believe anyone could escape the curse of relationship weight! So he steeled himself against his disgust at homosexuality and confessed to Qin Wenchu. He put on a shy act, laughing to himself inside: Say goodbye to your abs, you poser Daddy! 2. The plan went smoothly, until Qin Wenchu announced their relationship during a livestream watched by a hundred thousand people. His public image collapsed overnight, and he was saddled with an enormous breach-of-contract penalty. Qiao Man only wanted to ruin his abs, not his life. Just as he was feeling guilty, Qin Wenchu told him he had two options for changing career tracks, and that he'd need Qiao Man's help. First, they could film videos of their daily life as a couple. Qiao Man's scalp prickled. No way, he's homophobic!! So he decisively chose the second option: filming a complete beginner's fitness journey. Working out was exhausting, but it had to be better than kissing and cuddling with a man... right? One day, Qin Wenchu lifted him off the pillow by the waist, tears soaking half his face. “Your core strength still isn't enough,” the man said in a businesslike tone, his lips against Qiao Man's ear. “Rest for ten seconds, then we'll go again, Xiao Man.” With his back pressed against the man's solid chest, Qiao Man finally realized something was wrong: How were the two options the same thing?! 3. Qin Wenchu had a first love he never forgot. On his first day back in China, he heard that man say gay men were disgusting, so he decided to bury his feelings. Then the man came right up to him, ears red, and stammered, “I-I really like you...” “...I want to go eat mochi, turkey noodles with extra sauce, and a molten-layer cake with you.” Of course he knew Qiao Man was lying to him. But seeing the young man's pale, unhealthy complexion and obviously untrained physique, he still said, “Okay.” His first love had been taking such poor care of himself. From now on, Qin Wenchu would have to take care of him himself. [Bonus Scene] Years later, the “Goodbye Abs Plan” unexpectedly fell into Qin Wenchu's hands. “Didn't you say you'd tear away the facade of my self-discipline?” His palm caressed the thin layer of muscle on the young man's stomach, every inch of it built up by his own hands. “Xiao Man, you did a great job.” “I can't eat anymore...” Qiao Man's voice tightened, his fingertips curling around Qin Wenchu's wrist as he begged for mercy. “I really can't eat another bite, Daddy.” Theme: Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving.
