5. Decide to Confess

Translator: Antonia

Mu Yunshen didn’t wake up until the next morning. Waking up after a good night’s sleep, he had no idea how worried his parents had been since last night.

When he opened the door, he didn’t see his parents. Instead, he heard a voice from the kitchen, probably from his parents’ cooking.

Mu Yunshen took some clothes and went to take a shower.

Afterwards, as he stood in front of the mirror, he looked down at his bulging belly and frowned, “No, I have to strengthen my exercise. My stomach seems to be a little bigger than before. If this continues, I’ll become slower, let alone my skills. I have to lose weight.”

Mu Yunshen also felt that things were strange. If it was fat, why wasn’t the rest of his body getting rounder? All of the weight went to his belly. Besides, no one in his family had a beer belly before and both his parents were well-built, so there was no reason for him to be an exception.

Shaking his head, he wiped the water off his hair, put on casual clothes, and walked out.

Once the door opened, the fragrance of the dishes filled the room. This smell was so familiar. For Mu Yunshen, it was the smell of home.

“Dad, mom, morning,” he walked to the dining table and saw the sumptuous breakfast, a little surprised, “Such a sumptuous meal in the morning. Looks like I’m lucky.”

“It’s because you are home, Shenshen. I knew you must have missed my cooking, so I made these for you.” Yun Yanshi said as she handed a bowl to him.

“Mom, I was thinking about your cooking every day. I haven’t eaten the food you made for several years.” Mu Yunshen picked up a pair of chopsticks and started gorging on the food.

“Here, have some chicken soup,” Yun Yanshi handed another bowl to her son.

The moment Mu Yunshen saw the soup, his expression stiffened and his stomach started to churn again.

“Mom, you and Dad have some too. I can’t drink soup a lot. I want to lose weight,” Mu Yunshen said. However, he didn’t touch the bowl of soup.

“Losing weight?” Yun Yanshi and Mu Chifeng were stunned.

“Mmm, I can’t eat like this anymore. My stomach is coming out. If this continues, I’ll become fat.” Mu Yunshen said without even lifting his head as he ate a steamed dumpling.

Yun Yanshi and Mu Chifeng looked at each other with worried eyes.

It seemed that Shenshen didn’t know his situation.

Yun Yanshi kept picking vegetables for Mu Yunshen. “Losing weight? You aren’t fat at all. No matter what, you are always a handsome guy.”

“I just need to get rid of my beer belly.”

Mu Yunshen’s word frightened the two. That could not happen. What if something went wrong with the baby?

“Uhh…Shenshen, there’s no need. It’s good just like that,” Yun Yanshi quickly comforted him.

Mu Yunshen put down his chopsticks, stood up, and lifted his outfit to reveal his belly. The belly was still tight, but the abs were gone with a visible curve. He patted it, “Look, I have to get rid of it. Also, I need to eat less.”

Yun Yanshi saw her son slapping on his belly. She was so frightened that she jumped up from her chair. “Shenshen, Shenshen…”

Mu Yunshen saw her nervous expression and turned to his father who was all serious. He was confused, “What’s wrong?”

Yun Yanshi glanced at Mu Chifeng. Both felt that they couldn’t hide the fact from their son. If this continued, he wouldn’t even know it if he had lost the baby in his belly. Even if he really didn’t want the child, he had to abort it at a hospital. Anything could happen if he still acted like this without knowing the existence of the baby.

When receiving the look from Yun Yanshi, Mu Chifeng knew what his wife was going to do. She wanted to tell him the truth.

Although Mu Chifeng didn’t think that was appropriate, he knew Mu Yunshen was no longer a child and he should know what was of priority.

“Shenshen, I want to tell you something. You have to promise me not to worry about it. Listen to me till I finish.” Yun Yanshi gave her son a heads up.

Mu Yunshen’s expression became serious too. He sat upright, “Yes, I promise.”

Yun Yanshi was also a little embarrassed. Mu Yunshen was not a girl after all. If he had been a girl, given Yun Yanshi’s personality, she wouldn’t have hesitated at all before saying it. It was exactly because it was her son that she felt it difficult to open her mouth.

However, she had never been a procrastinator. After a moment of awkwardness, she went straight to the point, “Shenshen, your stomach is big not because you are fat or a beer belly… you may be pregnant.”

Mu Yunshen looked at her seriously, not understanding what she was saying.

‘…Pregnant? Who is pregnant?’

He chewed on her words. His eyes suddenly widened and his expression froze.

After Yun Yanshi finished speaking, she stared at her son nervously, worried that he could not accept it and would take extreme actions. Mu Yunshen was indeed shocked, but he did not do anything and he just regained calmness.

“Mom, I’m a man,” Mu Yunshen reminded her, afraid that his mother might forget his gender.

When Yun Yanshi heard that, her eyes started to turn red again. “Son, there is nothing impossible in this world. There is a kind of person whose body is special. Even a man of this kind can get pregnant. Your belly is so big now. I think you should be five-month pregnant. You should have felt the baby already, haven’t you?”

By now, Mu Yunshen had understood everything. He was convinced that there was nothing impossible in this world. For example, he still had the memory of his previous life. What reason did he have not to believe his mother?

However, he never noticed any movement of the baby. But the time…

Mu Yunshen fell into silence. He was calm and did not react as fiercely as Yun Yanshi expected.

“Not five months, I should be six-month pregnant,” Mu Yunshen suddenly said after a long silence.

“What?” Yun Yanshi couldn’t sit still when she heard this.

“If it’s really six months, isn’t the baby going to be born next month?” Yun Yanshi anxiously circled the room, while the two men was staring at her.

When she saw how calm they were, she hurriedly said, “Why aren’t you in a hurry? A male pregnancy only lasts seven months. What is the time now? Why do you still have time staring at me?”

As soon as Mu Chifeng heard that, he became anxious. The only reason that he was so calm a moment ago was because he thought that there was another four months before his son would give birth. Wasn’t his wife pregnant for ten months before she gave birth to Mu Yunshen? What was there to worry about?

But who could have thought that Mu Yunshen would give them a grandson or a granddaughter next month, and they were not prepared yet? How could he not be anxious?
