Xie Changqing had the kind of devoted boyfriend everyone knew about, the sort who would do absolutely anything for his partner.
They met through a matchmaking service. Once they started dating, his boyfriend was attentive and considerate in every way. As far as Xie Changqing knew, he was just an ordinary restaurant worker, until one day someone told him that his boyfriend was actually the first-generation leader of the strongest S-rank Sentinel Corps, a man who had been living under an assumed identity.
His statue still stood proudly in the center of Peace Lake, where people revered him as the hero of the first generation of bases.
Xie Changqing's first reaction was that it couldn't possibly be true.
His boyfriend's bangs were long enough to hide his eyes, and his straight nose sat beneath a pair of thick, black-rimmed glasses. He looked like an honest, ordinary man, and Xie Changqing was sure he was right.
But when he got home that night, Xie Changqing found someone kneeling at his boyfriend's feet on the balcony, begging him to help with the new wave of mutations that was about to strike.
The tall, broad-shouldered Sentinel wore an apron and held a spatula. He swept a hand through his fringe, the sharp line of his brow visible behind his lenses.
