"Have you ever loved me?"
When Xi Xiu reveals his body, covered in scars, and takes the initiative to kiss him, Pei Duojia freezes for a moment.
Pei Duojia drops his eyes in dismay, but Xi Xiu asks again.
This powerful S-rank female insect lies prostrate beneath him, looking up at him with a damp, pitiful gaze like a little beast.
"No..."
Pei Duojia can bear it no longer. He pushes open the door and leaves.
#I thought we'd never speak of distant mountains or love#
#Oleanders blooming in midsummer, cherries, and birds destined to die#
This is a poem Pei Duojia wrote fifteen years ago.
Back then, Pei Duojia was a young, unmarried male insect.
He called himself a poet, but nobody ever paid attention to the poems he posted anonymously online.
Until one day, he received a comment.
[Your writing is wonderful! Hugs!]
He had his first reader!
This reader was incredibly loyal. He left a comment on every poem Pei Duojia posted, even though Pei Duojia sometimes thought he misunderstood the poems.
Still, Pei Duojia was happy.
At the end of that summer, they met in person, never expecting their bodies to be so compatible.
Then, naturally, they fell passionately in love.
Their love was as brief as dew, but so beautiful it remained in their memories for years.
Back then, their story still felt like a fairy tale.
Back then, they were both so young...
But the interesting thing about stories is that someone always refuses to let go.
"So, Xiao Jia."
Years later, they kiss in the shadows through the bars of a prison cell.
Xi Xiu lifts his face, his lips slightly moist. He gazes at Pei Duojia's black hair and green eyes.
"Since I've already killed your female spouse, when will you marry me?"
[Little extra]
After being injured, Xi Xiu loses some of his memories. His mind regresses, and his body returns to childhood.
"Tell me, who are you?"
Little Xi Xiu stares sternly at the unfamiliar male insect before him.
Pei Duojia pauses, his throat a little tight.
"I'm your... future husband."
Little Xi Xiu: ?
I'm calling the police and having you arrested.
[Arrogant, carefree noble male husband * Long-suffering, unhinged, low-born military female insect]
The uke did not kill the seme's wife; there's more to the story. Both leads are sexually inexperienced and devoted to each other, one-on-one romance, characters grow, happy ending.
