Rebirth of a Movie Star

Chapter 27 - Long Time Friend

When Qiu Qian came home that night, he placed the keys in the lock, opened the door and found that there wasn't any of the usual sounds of noisy cartoons coming from the TV. He took off his shoes and poked his head into the living room.

He saw Bai Lang hugging Qiu XiaoHai on his lap. The two people's heads were pressed together, as though they were talking about something in secret. They were so focused they didn't even hear him come in.

Qiu Qian raised his eyebrow and walked in. He asked, "What are you two doing?"

Qiu Qian's voice made the two people turn their heads at the same time.

Bai Lang's expression was slightly complicated. Qiu XiaoHai's eyes were both very red.

Qiu Qian was surprised, "Eh eh, who's been bullying our little piggy?"

Qiu XiaoHai turned his head around and refused to answer. He also pouted and buried his head into Bai Lang's chest.

Bai Lang also didn't answer Qiu Qian. He only held Qiu XiaoHai and continued to kiss and hug him. "Okay, don't cry anymore. We've already agreed and even made a pinky promise, right?"

Qiu Qian parked himself next to Bai Lang. He asked, "What happened?"

Bai Lang only gave him an expression that was halfway between helplessness and concern. At this time Qiu XiaoHai said in a pitiful voice:

"...Why does mommy have to a girl ah. I want Ah Bai to be my mommy oh."

Bai Lang held Qiu XiaoHai tightly and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if Ah Bai isn't your mommy, I can still make lots of yummy food for Xiao Hai."

Qiu Qian's eyebrow climbed even higher. He approximately understood what was happening.

"But Chen ZhenZhen said mommys are just like Ah Bai ah." Qiu XiaoHai's voice was both muffled and pitiful.

Bai Lang stroked Qiu XiaoHai's hair. "So no matter if I'm your mom or not, I will always accompany Xiao Hai."

"Ah Bai will you always be here?"

"Until Xiao Hai doesn't want Ah Bai anymore, Ah Bai will always be here." Bai Lang said gently.

Qiu XiaoHai heard this and burrowed himself even deeper into Bai Lang's chest. "I won't ever not want Ah Bai oh. I, I, want Ah Bai to be my mommy ah."

"So Xiao Hai will always have Ah Bai. It's the same."

{T/N: It's BL talking. He's referring to himself by name.}

"Then if it's the same thing then why can't I call Ah Bai my mommy?"

"Because Ah Bai isn't a girl, mommys have to be girls."

Bai Lang's voice was still very gentle. His face was extremely patient as though he intended to continue dragging this talk on with Qiu XiaoHai.

"Why ah? I don't like girls. Why does mommy have to be a girl?"

Qiu XiaoHai was as obstinate as mule.

After he heard this, Qiu Qian realized how many times Bai Lang and Qiu XiaoHai had been going over this again and again.

Also this was the first time he had seen Bai Lang being this resolute in refusing Qiu XiaoHai. He refused to even give one inch. Previously his treatment of Xiao Hai had really made Qiu Qian feel jealous so he wasn't at all surprised that his son would kick up a fuss and want Bai Lang to be his "mommy". So actually Qiu Qian didn't mind to watch them go on like this for a bit longer but it was only that if he did that then Bai Lang probably wouldn't forgive him.
