Chapter 45: A YeYe on the Verge of Tears

Chapter 45: YeYe on the Verge of Tears

Shen Yu stepped forward and picked up Bai Yeye. "You okay from that fall?"

"Pain's temporary, but embarrassment's forever." Bai Yeye closed his eyes peacefully in Shen Yu's arms.

Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh. "How was it embarrassing?"

"I didn't know he was your dad, and I shot my mouth off with a bunch of crap, wuwu." Blame his big mouth—why did he have to talk so much?

Shen Yu squeezed his little paw. "Seriously, it's fine. I know you were joking."

Bai Yeye felt even more dizzy. "He told you about it?"

Shen Yu nodded, holding back a smile. Bai Yeye turned his head, stuck out his tongue, and said, "I'm dead. Don't even talk to me."

Now not only Shen Cun—Shen Yu's gonna think he's a weirdo too.

Shen Yu took out Bai Yeye's favorite snack from his pocket, unwrapped it and popped it into his mouth. "Seriously, it's fine. I know you were joking."

"I'm not eating. Just let me starve." But even as he said that, Bai Yeye instinctively opened his mouth and bit down.

"Don't sweat it. My dad likes to joke around too, so he won't take your words seriously."

Bai Yeye covered his eyes with his paws. "He straight-up lied to me, saying he was single. I almost introduced my cousin to him."

"He wasn't lying. He really is single."

"Huh? Then what about your other dad..."

"They're divorced."

Bai Yeye was speechless, about to console Shen Yu, when he heard him add.

"But they're about to get remarried for the 198th time now."

"..." The what? How many times?!

Shen Yu was amused by his shocked expression and explained his family situation. "They both have fiery tempers and often quarrel over the smallest things. After my brother and I grew up, they started to divorce. The first few times, we tried to mediate, but after the third time, we just let them be. Sometimes they'd divorce 31 times in a 30-day month—it was impossible to reason with them."

That's why he didn't mention his other father when talking with Shen Cun earlier. If Shen Cun didn't bring it up, he wouldn't either, or else Shen Cun would get angry. Once Shen Cun calmed down, he'd shamelessly beg his partner to come back, and then the "epic war" would begin, filling the gap of the days they were apart.

Rather than divorce, it was more like a little couple's game.

They loved the tenderness after a fiery argument—Shen Yu calls it twisted pleasure.

Bai Yeye sighed, "I didn't expect the level of perverted love between your dads to be just as twisted as my dads'."

Long Shen doesn't divorce his wife, but they still argue over small things.

Fight in the morning, cool off by noon, then serve her in bed at night.

Bai Yeye always thought they were weird—why couldn't they just talk things out nicely? But as he grew up, he realized that the fiercer the fight, the fiercer the makeup sex.

This pure, innocent YeYe had ultimately been corrupted by society.

"Is your other dad coming over in the next few days too?" Bai Yeye was a bit nervous. He'd already pissed off one dad—he couldn't afford to piss off the other.

"Yes, they never go more than three days apart."

"Then let me see a picture of him, and your brother too."

Shen Yu pulled up some family photos and showed him. After looking, Bai Yeye went quiet.

In the photo, the family of four stood together. Shen Yu and Shen Cun, both alphas, were loaded with bags like bodyguards, while the two omegas in the middle were delicate and lovely, like they were cut from the same mold.

Bai Yeye's doggy body jolted. "Xie Shihua is your dad?!"

"Mm-hmm."

Xie Shihua was an interstellar superstar. At the height of his fame, his posters were plastered across the whole galaxy. Emperors from dozens of planets brawled just to meet him, causing chaos.

When he announced publicly that he was retiring to get married, heartbroken alphas and omegas lined the bridges. He had to put out a statement begging everyone not to do anything stupid before they calmed down.

But that's not the important part. The important part is...

He'd actually hit Xie Shihua! Aaah!

The thing was, Xie Shihua and Bai Ningxin were frenemies since forever. Whenever they met, they'd argue, but deep down, they cared about each other.

Bai Ningxin was one of the very few who knew Xie Shihua was Shen Yu's father. Because of Xie Shihua's identity, he promised to keep his mouth shut, so Bai Yeye and the others had no idea.

After Shen Yu publicly rejected Bai Ruoshui, Xie Shihua came to apologize in person. Although it wasn't Shen Yu's fault, turning him down publicly totally embarrassed Bai Ruoshui and could lead to gossip.

Xie Shihua's rare humble moment didn't earn Bai Ningxin's forgiveness. Instead, Bai Ningxin mocked him.

"Ohh, finally admit you were wrong! You've got a long list of screw-ups!"

Xie Shihua, with his temper, couldn't hold back. They started going at it right there, almost blew up Bai Ningxin's bedroom.

At the time, Long Shen and Long Rui were in a meeting, and Bai Ruoshui wasn't in Romar. When Bai Yeye found out someone had come to fight his dad, he charged in and landed two punches.

He got so excited his mask fell off, and Xie Shihua saw his face.

Bai Ningxin lied and said he was some distant cousin, and kept Xie Shihua from discovering his true identity.

Xie Shihua didn't even care about the two punches at first—he just cursed at him verbally.

But young and hot-headed Bai Yeye wasn't afraid. He cursed back for half an hour.

Now it was over. Xie Shihua told him to watch out: if he ever got his hands on him, he'd beat Bai Yeye into a pancake.

Bai Yeye shot back that he'd turn him into a Samsung foldable first.

"YeYe? YeYe, what's wrong?" Shen Yu felt the warm body in his arms gradually turning cold. He quickly pulled out another pack of snacks to feed him.

This time, Bai Yeye even lost all survival instinct. He struggled to stand up, trying to grab the rope from earlier.

"Don't stop me. Just let me die. Please, don't stop me."

He thought he'd already hit rock bottom by running his mouth to Shen Yu's dad, but now there was something even worse!

Shen Yu kicked the flimsy rope aside and asked, half amused, half puzzled, "What's the matter? Do you know my dad?"

"It's just... I..." Bai Yeye didn't know how to say it. It's not like he could say he'd once punched your dad.

Seeing that Bai Yeye's eyes were red, Shen Yu didn't press further. He ruffled his hair. "It's okay. Take a minute and tell me later."

Bai Yeye really wanted to cry. His fragile love life, wuwu.

When Long Rui opened the door and saw Shen Yu holding his frail younger brother and groping him all over, his anger surged.

"Shen Yu! Get your dirty hands off him!!"

Shen Yu, already in a bad mood, said to him, "If you don't want to get hit, get out. This is YeYe's room."

Of course Long Rui knew this was Bai Yeye's room—that was exactly why he had come looking for him.

"You made my YeYe cry? Get out here! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Bai Yeye wanted to cry but couldn't. How could it be that he had beaten Shen Yu's father, and now Shen Yu was coming after his brother?
