After the Love Scammer Crashed and Burned Again

*Pretty beauty, love cheat shou x sunny college guy who turns into a brooding, obsessive ghost of a gong

Luan Qing assumes another name and approaches his friend's business rival's younger brother to help his friend.

He only means to gather information, but somehow ends up dating him.

It's not like he meant to, but the college guy is so obedient, full of youthful energy, great at sweet-talking, and has a nice body. So it doesn't matter if he's bad in bed. He'll learn with a little coaching.

Once the job is done, Luan Qing is troubled by how clingy the Alpha has become and wants to break up.

But the other guy discovers the truth first and confronts him: "Baby, your name was fake, your identity was fake. And saying you'd always love me was a lie too, right?"

Luan Qing looks at him innocently. "This is my first relationship too. That's only fair."

It isn't until the Alpha cuffs him to the headboard with a cold expression that Luan Qing belatedly realizes something is wrong.

Wait, he means it?

.

For the entire next month, Luan Qing doesn't leave Qi Yanzhi's place.

The Alpha's pheromones fill the bedroom, and he keeps leaning in for more kisses. Flushed and weak, Luan Qing turns his head away. "Get lost."

He thinks he'll be kept prisoner for the rest of his life. But soon, Qi Yanzhi gets into a minor car accident and, along with it, loses his memories of the past few months.

After he's rescued, Luan Qing has only one request in response to his parents' apologies and concern: "Don't tell him I exist."

.

After leaving the hospital, Qi Yanzhi goes out to clear his head and happens to stop someone from harassing an Omega.

Under the lights, the Omega is pale and looks badly shaken, as beautiful as fragile crystal.

Qi Yanzhi's heart pounds like a drum. He tries to sound calm as he asks softly, "Are you okay? Do you want me to take you home?"

The other person studies his expression for a while, then murmurs, "Sure."

.

Qi Yanzhi soon learns that the other person is two years older than him, is a painter, and has been hurt in love before. There's even a bite mark on his gland left by his ex.

Their relationship heats up quickly. Qi Yanzhi strokes the scabbed-over wound on the back of his neck and asks carefully, "What kind of person was he?"

"...A real brute," Luan Qing answers vaguely, dodging his hand. "So you need to treat me better."

The Alpha is naturally heartbroken and pulls him into his arms. "Forget him, gege. Let me take care of you from now on."

.

Luan Qing never expected Qi Yanzhi to come back into his life. After testing him repeatedly and confirming that he really remembers nothing, he can't help indulging his mischievous streak again.

After all, college guys... really are so obedient.

What he doesn't know is that Qi Yanzhi accidentally finds a video file on his computer.

In the video, Luan Qing looks utterly pitiful, nothing like his usual spoiled self in front of Qi Yanzhi. He keeps begging, "No, hubby... I'm sorry, hubby..."

The pretty red mole between his legs appears and disappears with every movement.

Qi Yanzhi is confused and furious, still unable to make sense of what's going on. The camera pans up to show the man said to have treated Luan Qing so badly. His expression is cold, veins bulging on his forehead as he gets off.

It's his own face.

Gong: What, you're saying gege tricked me twice? That just proves I'm capable. Otherwise, why wouldn't he trick someone else? ^^

Notes:

1. Readers with strong ship preferences, don't enter. Reading means you accept this warning.

2. Younger gong, fixed pairing, 1v1, both chaste. The shou is actually a love-struck fool, bad at this but loves to flirt, then doesn't take responsibility. The gong switches back and forth between sunny college guy and brooding, obsessive ghost.
