Su Yiran hadn’t kissed enough. He looked at Ting-ge’s lips, and as if enchanted, he kissed them again, tasting carefully: “Sweet.” After saying that, he kissed him again, seeking to taste the sweetness in Ting-ge’s mouth.

Gu Yuanting’s heart was overflowing with sweetness. He enjoyed Ranran’s initiative for a moment, then took the lead and kissed him back.

The two lingered in sweet kisses, and after the kiss, they returned to their daily routine.

Neither of them knew that, at this moment online, especially under Su Yiran’s Weibo post, things had already exploded.

When Su Yiran’s Weibo post was first published, only a few fans refreshed to see it. At first glance, they hadn’t reacted, only knowing that their favorite streamer was going to pause live streams for a while, and they felt very reluctant.

Some who didn’t watch Su Yiran’s live streams but only followed his Weibo updates didn’t care about the live streams. They just glanced over it and started to worry if his Weibo updates would also stop.

It was only after a while that more people started to react:

[Wait, this Weibo post has a massive amount of information…]

Then, more and more people reacted:

[Holy crap, did I see that right? Having a baby???? Having a baby?????]

[Yiyi said he’s going to have a baby, does that mean what I think it means???]

[Shouldn’t be misunderstood… dumbfounded… I’m confused…]

[How can the streamer announce such explosive news in such a calm tone!! And with [pink bunny smile]??????]

As time passed, more and more fans discovered this Weibo post. The comments and reposts quickly exceeded ten thousand. Fans were shocked, bewildered, enraged, and incredulous, among other reactions.

Some also expressed calm:

[You all haven’t seen much. Male pregnancy is no longer rare.]

[Yeah, our hospital had a case last month too.]

Still, many people expressed shock:

[It’s not rare, but… that’s Yiyi! My Yiyi is going to have a baby?? Crying on the ground, when did this happen?!]

[No wonder I noticed Yiyi got a lot rounder in recent streams… I was so silly, I thought it was because Yiyi ate too many sweets…]

As the number of reposts and comments accumulated, the popularity grew. Some even went to Gu Yuanting’s verified Weibo account to ask questions, and “Yiting CP” once again trended on the hot search list.

It was mid-afternoon when Su Yiran was watching a parenting show on TV. His phone suddenly chimed “ding-dong-ding-dong.” WeChat notifications rang several times. He picked up his phone and saw messages from several friends and a few shop employees he was close with, all talking about the hot search and congratulating him on his pregnancy…

Su Yiran couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. Although he had accepted the pregnancy and was prepared, he always felt it was strange to tell others directly that he was pregnant. So, except for his parents, he hadn’t told anyone.

He decided to announce it on Weibo this time because he had been pausing live streams for so long and wanted to give the audience an explanation. He didn’t want to make up excuses or lie, so he told the truth.

Su Yiran replied to his friends and staff one by one. Thinking that they told him he was trending again, he logged onto Weibo to check. Sure enough, he saw himself on the hot search. Clicking in, the top trending post was the Weibo he had just published that morning, announcing his temporary hiatus.

He clicked into the Weibo post and immediately saw the top comment with the most likes:

[Wuwuwuwu oh my god I’m dying, what kind of divine big brother is this!! He can even have a baby! Is there anything Yiyi can’t do? QAQ]

Su Yiran: “…”

Su Yiran cleared his throat. These netizens truly were consistent. No matter what happened, they didn’t change much…

Gu Yuanting finished cutting the fruit in the kitchen and brought it over. Seeing Ranran looking at his phone with a slightly off expression, he quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Su Yiran put down his phone, no longer scrolling through: “It’s just that I posted a Weibo this morning, right? The netizens found out I’m having a baby, and they’re reacting quite strongly… And Zhang Xiaohong and the others also know I’m having a baby and sent messages.”

Gu Yuanting nodded, not surprised. He sat beside Ranran and started feeding him fruit.

Su Yiran suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but smile: “Oh, right, a lot of netizens also went to your Weibo and are asking you to give an explanation.” He smiled as he thought about it again, “The netizens are so funny.”

An explanation? Gu Yuanting’s hand, in the act of feeding, paused. He immediately thought of how the baby came about, and a strong wave of jealousy surged in his heart again. He didn’t speak, outwardly continuing to feed Ranran without a change in expression.

After finishing the fruit, Gu Yuanting took the fruit plate into the kitchen, washed and put it away, then returned to Ranran’s side to watch TV with him.

After watching for a while, he thought of what Ranran had said earlier, and the jealousy in his heart once again uncontrollably surfaced.

Finally, he picked up his phone and logged into his verified Weibo account.

His Weibo page only had one post, the official announcement with Ranran. Now, in the comments under that post, there were many new netizens asking about Ranran’s pregnancy. The top hot comment was prominently displayed:

[President Ting, is Yiyi really going to have a baby? Crying loudly, when did this happen?!]

When did this happen…

Gu Yuanting: “…”

Gu Yuanting took a breath, closed his eyes, and told himself that the baby had nothing to do with the original owner, nothing at all. He was simply Ranran’s baby and also his and Ranran’s baby.

He reposted Ranran’s Weibo from that morning: [Thank you all for your concern. I will take good care of Yiyi and the baby. I hope everyone continues to support @YitingDesserts.]

So, from now on, it would be him, Ranran, and their baby living together as a family of three. It had nothing to do with when Ranran got pregnant, and even less to do with the original owner.

Gu Yuanting calmed himself down, put down his phone, picked up Ranran beside him, and held him in his arms.

Su Yiran was focused on watching TV and didn’t pay attention.

Gu Yuanting looked at Su Yiran, leaned down, and kissed him.

He didn’t have time for such… insignificant jealousy. Gu Yuanting gently stroked Ranran’s abdomen. The bulge in his palm made his heart tremble.

Everything will be fine, Gu Yuanting told himself.

Time quietly approached the end of July. The weather grew increasingly hot.

This day, Papa Su and Mama Su came to City A again.

Their high-speed rail arrival time was past 7 PM. This time, Gu Yuanting wasn’t comfortable with Ranran going out with him to pick up his parents, nor was he comfortable with Ranran being home alone.

He needed to stay home to take care of Ranran, so he didn’t go to the high-speed rail station to pick up Papa Su and Mama Su. Instead, he arranged for someone to drive them over.

Su Yiran’s body was getting heavier, and his movements were becoming more inconvenient. He could no longer walk too much or stand for long periods, otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable.

As soon as Mama Su saw Su Yiran, she quickly went to carefully support him, her eyes reddening with concern: “My child, how do you feel?”

Pap Su stood beside them, also distressed and unsure what to do. Although they had video calls every week, the feeling of seeing each other through video was, of course, different from meeting in person.

Su Yiran smiled and shook his head, patting Mama Su’s hand reassuringly: “I’m fine, Mom. Ting-ge is taking very good care of me.”

Gu Yuanting had been carefully supporting Su Yiran all along. Seeing this, he quickly said, “Dad, Mom, let’s go into the room and settle down first. Ranran needs to walk for a bit now.”

Papa Su and Mama Su quickly agreed, took their luggage into the room they had stayed in last time, and settled in.

Gu Yuanting carefully supported Ranran and walked circles around the living room with him.

These past two days, because the weather was too hot, even in the evening, it was still very warm outside. So, Su Yiran’s walks these two days were conducted in the living room.

After walking a few laps around the living room, Gu Yuanting carefully helped Su Yiran sit on the sofa. Papa Su and Mama Su, who had finished settling in the upstairs guest room, also came out.

Mama Su patted Su Yiran’s hand and asked worriedly, “How have you been recently? Can you eat properly?”

Su Yiran nodded and said with a smile, “Very good. I eat well and sleep soundly. Don’t worry, Mom.”

Mama Su breathed a sigh of relief and then asked them, “The due date is in about half a month, right?”

Gu Yuanting nodded: “Sixteen more days. I’ve already booked a hospital room and will move into the hospital with Ranran a week in advance.”

Mama Su thought for a moment: “That’s good. It saves you from rushing when labor starts. Moving in early is also a good precaution.”

Mama Su discussed the preparations needed before hospitalization with them. Seeing that Gu Yuanting answered meticulously, clearly having everything ready, she finally felt relieved.

Papa Su and Mama Su chatted with them about pregnancy-related matters for a while. Gu Yuanting calculated the time, and when it was Ranran’s rest time, he quickly said, “Dad, Mom, Ranran needs to rest. Shall we talk tomorrow?”

It was almost 9 PM. Recently, because Su Yiran easily felt fatigued, he often got sleepy very early, so they both rested relatively early.

Now, they had even canceled their bedtime ritual of reading stories to the baby together. It was changed to every afternoon, where Gu Yuanting would sit beside Ranran and read to him and the baby.

Papa Su and Mama Su quickly agreed. Mama Su went into the kitchen, pondering how to make some nourishing soup for Su Yiran in advance, and told them to go rest first.

Su Yiran told Mama Su not to be busy too late, then returned to the bedroom to rest with Ting-ge.

Gu Yuanting bathed Ranran, helped him change into his pajamas, took a bath himself, and then gave Ranran his bedtime milk.

Before going to bed, he began to carefully knead and massage Su Yiran’s legs and feet.

As Su Yiran’s body reacted more and more strongly, he sometimes experienced slight swelling in his legs and feet. However, Gu Yuanting would massage him like this every day, so this condition was rare.

Gu Yuanting finished massaging Ranran. Seeing that Ranran’s face was already showing signs of sleepiness, he carefully placed him under the covers, padded his lower back with a soft pillow, and carefully hugged him: “Sleep.”

Su Yiran groggily “mm”-ed and soon fell asleep.

Gu Yuanting held him to sleep, but before midnight, he felt Ranran move in his arms. Moments later, he woke up, slowly trying to sit up.

Gu Yuanting quickly and carefully helped him sit up: “What’s wrong?”

Su Yiran’s mind was still hazy. He mumbled sleepily, “Toilet…”

Gu Yuanting understood. He turned on the light, picked Ranran up, and carried him into the bathroom.
