Part 2
His hand slipped inside, caressing Tang Yue’s abdomen through the clothes.
Teacher Evening, whose traffic was skyrocketing, had a slender frame. His waist was so thin Jiang Shulu feared he might snap it if he used a bit of force. The ruthlessness he showed when dragging him close was all superficial.
But Jiang Shulu’s superficial ruthlessness was fatally intertwined with Tang Yue. Under the pink-tinted lighting, Tang Yue involuntarily reached out to trace Jiang Shulu’s face.
From the brow bone to the bridge of the nose, then to the lips, finally landing on the chin. He whispered, “It does.”
“I heard the probability is higher if you’re on top. I don’t know about other ways.”
The carpet was soft, and the floor-to-ceiling window was veiled with a layer of gauze. Outside was the parasol tree Tang Yue liked, which Jiang Shulu had specially transplanted here.
Jiang Shulu grabbed Tang Yue’s hand and kissed his palm. “Then why do you look so certain? Even the little alien isn’t sure.”
Tang Yue made a sound of agreement and whispered in Jiang Shulu’s ear, “That time, the day before the show ended, we used them all up. We…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Shulu sighed with regret.
Tang Yue laughed, holding Jiang Shulu’s hand. “Right? I still have that much common sense. Even if it was outside, it’s still possible.”
Jiang Shulu covered his eyes. “That was my fault.”
Tang Yue wrapped his legs around Jiang Shulu. “I did it on purpose.”
Jiang Shulu: “Hm?”
Tang Yue: “See? You like me too. You like me so much you want to go again and again, don’t you?”
Jiang Shulu: “Yes, yes, yes, our Teacher Tang is too charming.”
Tang Yue hummed twice, playing with Jiang Shulu’s fingers as he spoke. “So let’s split the difference, fifty-fifty.”
Jiang Shulu: “I still reserve my opinion. It’s hard to empathize one hundred percent with something like this. No matter how good I am to you, it’s hard to…”
Tang Yue bit Jiang Shulu’s chin lightly. “Brother Shulu calls me timid, but you’re the one who is. What are you actually afraid of?”
Tang Yue: “I’m willing. Can you respect my opinion?”
His bangs scattered to the sides as he lay back, revealing eyes as clear blue as an ocean one could drown in, even in the dim light.
Tang Yue: “Having Xiao Mie didn’t stop me from writing songs.”
He was quite confident. “Even if I don’t stand on stage for five years, I can still make people remember my work.”
“I don’t feel any regret.”
Tang Yue was sometimes easy to coax, but sometimes incredibly stubborn.
Jiang Shulu knew he couldn’t persuade Tang Yue.
He could only collapse onto the beanbag with him and ask, “Then how about we treat this as a gamble?”
Tang Yue: “What?”
Tang Yue nestled in Jiang Shulu’s arms, the other man’s hand resting over his on his abdomen.
Having kissed that scar on Tang Yue countless times, it felt as if the texture of the skin was carved into Jiang Shulu’s heart. He closed his eyes briefly and said, “If there is one, we have it. If not, then there isn’t. Let’s not deliberately try for one anymore, okay?”
Tang Yue: “Okay.”
He agreed too quickly. Jiang Shulu narrowed his eyes and pinched Tang Yue’s waist. “You didn’t cheat, did you?”
Tang Yue rolled over, practically smashing onto Jiang Shulu. “Of course not! It’s useless if I work hard alone on this kind of thing!”
He huffed twice. “Let’s see if Heaven is willing to give me this chance.”
Jiang Shulu: “It’s always very hard work. Aren’t you afraid?”
Tang Yue: “With you by my side, I have nothing to be afraid of.”
Jiang Shulu: “Then I’m still going to get the surgery.”
Tang Yue: “Shall I go with you?”
Jiang Shulu: “Sure.”
Tang Yue: “Will it hurt?”
He paused. “I saw some people saying it hurts.”
Jiang Shulu kissed him. “That’s because they don’t know how painful it is to give birth to a child.”
Tang Yue: “Is that doctor good? Should we look for a better one?”
Jiang Shulu: “Your brother-in-law said he did his there too.”
Tang Yue: “Xiujun tells me every few days that he wants to have a baby himself. He’s so funny.”
Jiang Shulu: “I’m not as good as him.”
Tang Yue covered his mouth. “You are the best in my heart. You’re not allowed to talk nonsense.”
Jiang Shulu took Tang Yue’s hand in his mouth gently. “Then does Xiao Yue love me?”
Tang Yue: “That’s so embarrassing to say.”
Jiang Shulu mimicked Tang Yue’s tone. “I’m so disappointed~”
Tang Yue rubbed against the hollow of his shoulder—
“Of course, I love you very, very much.”
Recently, the headlines had been basically dominated by Sheng Cangyun.
Especially after the paparazzi broke the news that his child was biologically his, Sheng Cangyun himself confirmed the fact on his long-silent Weibo.
And he announced an explosive piece of news—
The other father of his child had passed away. It was the director Liang Qingshi, the man who had thoroughly launched sixteen-year-old Sheng Cangyun into the film industry.
This gossip was a bit hard to swallow.
Just the day before, netizens were still guessing who had slept with this powerhouse movie emperor. Everyone who had ever collaborated with Sheng Cangyun had been dragged through the mud.
Countless netizens had tried to prove the biological father was someone else, citing reasons like “they were hot and heavy at that awards ceremony, there must have been an affair.”
It forced quite a few people to livestream clarifications, stating they weren’t gay, or that Sheng Cangyun wouldn’t be interested in them, etc.
Tang Yue had been recording songs in the studio for several days. From the receptionist girl to the studio staff, basically everyone was following the drama.
Originally, this news was extremely outrageous, and few people believed it, treating it purely as entertainment.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Cangyun not only admitted it but also threw out photos of him and Liang Qingshi kissing, as well as surgical records.
Suddenly, “Bad Ending” (BE) literature sprang up everywhere, filled with laments about how fate doesn’t spare anyone.
But there were still fans who refused to accept that Sheng Cangyun’s partner was Liang Qingshi.
Liang Qingshi had clearly died in a car accident on his way to see another star.
Previously, when searching for Liang Qingshi, the name associated with him wasn’t Sheng Cangyun, but the rising film star Xuan Yue.
— I’ve gradually accepted the male pregnancy thing. Even my mom knows now that male stars who go on the Spring Festival Gala can have kids. Not all of them, though.
— Boohoo, my tears are worthless. Looking at the old photos Sheng Cangyun posted makes me want to cry. When did he get together with Liang Qingshi! And when did they break up? Did he secretly have the child overseas after the breakup?
— Sheng Cangyun has done so many movies, but his flavor was most unique only in Liang Qingshi’s lens.
— I remember Liang Qingshi had amnesia before, right? He seemed to stop making movies and left the industry, then high-profile announced he was pursuing Xuan Yue.
— Announcing the child belongs to a dead man… what is Sheng Cangyun trying to do? But who said his looks declined? He looks even better than before. Some people are forever in their prime.
— @Evening_TangYue, stop hiding it, I believe Xiao Mie was born by you!!
This series of events caused Tang Yue’s fans to once again suspect Tang Mian’s origins.
Especially since someone anonymously posted Tang Yue’s exit records from the year Away disbanded.
Private channels, heading to the exact city overseas where Sheng Cangyun had settled.
— Could Tang Yue’s vanishing act back then be because someone was covering it up?
— My brain is full of “Run Away With the Ball” tropes.
— Combining this with #JiangShulu AndrologyClinic, I think the evidence is solid. Otherwise, why would he get a vasectomy for no reason? Are gay men afraid of getting pregnant?!
— Wasn’t Tang Yue photographed accompanying Jiang Shulu to the Andrology department last week!! They wouldn’t go do it together, right?
— Ah, if Tang Yue can give birth, then indeed some measures need to be taken. The Captain is really rigorous.
— Wait! How have you all accepted this setting so naturally again?
— Big movie emperors can give birth, big writers can too, ordinary citizens have genetic defects… so what if Tang Yue has it?
Tang Yue sat to the side during his break. His assistant, Zhenzhen, was Jiang Shulu’s former assistant from Away; the assistant sister originally assigned to Tang Yue had changed careers.
“Xiao Yue, I found the information you asked for.”
Tang Yue gave an “Oh,” shifting his gaze away from the discussion about Sheng Cangyun on his phone.
“Thanks, Zhenzhen-jie. I have to go pick up Xiao Mie later, so I won’t come back this afternoon.”
