Honey, You Still Say You Don't Love Me

#From Cold Childhood Friend to Devoted, Dotingly Attentive Husband

Jiang Keyu has a boyfriend who loves him very much.

Bai Yue is a top-tier Enigma, and Jiang Keyu is his fated mate, with a 100% pheromone match.

Bai Yue does his laundry and cooks for him when he's busy. He even feeds him by hand, clips his nails, massages him when he's tired, peels shrimp and cuts fruit for him, and patiently explains difficult concepts in his field...

But all of that changed after Jiang Keyu had a minor accident!

Bai Yue not only gives him the cold shoulder and says nasty things to him, but also makes him bathe by himself.

He'd even agreed to start trying for a baby, but now Bai Yue won't sleep with him!

Jiang Keyu has no idea what he did wrong. He cries as he stays up all night talking to Teacher Doubao.

Teacher Doubao says: I'll tell you in the most direct, objective, no-nonsense way possible: you're too demanding!

A healthy romantic relationship requires both people to make an effort. If only one person keeps giving, your partner is bound to grow weary and discouraged over time.

Jiang Keyu wipes his tears. So his husband is emotionally exhausted.

That's okay. Now it's his turn to win him back. They're fated mates, after all. How could they drift apart so easily?

He tries doing chores, but when he picks up his boyfriend's suit jacket, he catches the scent of an unfamiliar omega.

Jiang Keyu's world collapses.

That bastard Bai Yue would rather cheat on him than be with an omega as perfect as him!

Jiang Keyu bursts into tears and slaps Bai Yue's handsome face hard, demanding an explanation.

Jiang Keyu: "Tell me! Who's the homewrecker?!"

Bai Yue: "?"

Jiang Keyu breaks down: "Stop pretending! I can smell another omega's pheromones on you!"

Bai Yue: "...That's a new cologne I tried."

Jiang Keyu is heartbroken. That bastard still refuses to tell the truth, even when he's caught red-handed. He even says Jiang Keyu's brain is broken and that he should see a doctor.

He cries again. "Then why do you say you're tired every night and pretend to be asleep? Why won't you have a baby with me?"

A vein pops at Bai Yue's temple. "...You're both men. How are we supposed to have a baby?"

Jiang Keyu refuses to listen. "Don't lie to me. If you've fallen out of love, just say so! There's no such thing as an omega who can't get pregnant, only husbands who don't go deep enough!"

Bai Yue laughs in disbelief.

Bai Yue and his childhood friend Jiang Keyu are sworn enemies.

From childhood to adulthood, this lazy bum made him do his laundry, write his homework, feed him, and take the blame for him. For twenty years, they've been locked in a battle against each other.

But fate saddled them with an annoying arranged marriage.

The Bai and Jiang families are longtime friends, and the two of them were betrothed before they were even born.

After Jiang Keyu protests vehemently, his mother finally relents.

She agrees that if he really doesn't want to marry Bai Yue, they'll announce the broken engagement to the public at his twentieth birthday party. After that, they'll just be brothers.

But just before Jiang Keyu's twentieth birthday, he gets into a minor car accident.

The birthday party is put on hold, and Bai Yue goes to visit him.

His childhood friend, whose mouth is usually as sharp as a weapon, suddenly changes completely. The moment he sees Bai Yue, his eyes turn red and he calls him "hubby" in a sweet, coquettish voice.

He even says he's Bai Yue's omega.

To avoid upsetting Jiang Keyu, and under pressure from both the Bai and Jiang families, Bai Yue has no choice but to move in with him for the time being and play along with his roleplay.

Jiang Keyu is dressed in skimpy clothes, his long, pale legs crossed, cheeks flushed. "Hubby, come over and massage my legs."

Bai Yue: "..."

They say it's hard to keep a straight face when someone you know acts all high and mighty. Watching his childhood friend run a fever is even harder.

He pretends not to get the hint, makes an excuse about being tired from work, then goes into the spare bedroom and pretends to sleep.

But in the middle of the night, Jiang Keyu climbs on top of him. When Bai Yue won't give in, he cries, sobbing that he married the wrong person and is doomed to become a young widower.

Bai Yue: "..."

Bai Yue endures the indignity and loses his virginity.

He gives him kisses, cuddles, sex, and money to spend, but this pampered, demanding little thing still won't quit. He even barges into Bai Yue's company to accuse him of cheating, saying he has someone on the side and that he can't get pregnant because Bai Yue doesn't try hard enough and is always halfhearted.

Bai Yue laughs in anger and nods coldly. "Fine. You want a baby, right?"

That night.

Jiang Keyu hugs a pillow and cries as if his world is ending, his beautiful, almond-shaped eyes unfocused. His chattering mouth can no longer find fault with anything, and all he can do is call out pitifully for his hubby.

Bai Yue chuckles, his voice hoarse. "Is that deep enough now, baby?"

#My Childhood Friend Can't Possibly Be This Needy

★ Reader's guide:

① Both leads are virgins. An uncomplicated, sweet two-person comedy.

② A sharp-tongued, mean, cold childhood friend who later turns into a devoted, wife-obsessed daddy-type top × a bottom who is dependent on his childhood friend/hubby whether or not he's lost his memory, going from a hot-tempered young master to a pampered wife.

③ No ABO setting. After losing his memory, the bottom makes everything up in his own head and believes it wholeheartedly. This is not an erotica fantasy.

④ Character dynamics may be adjusted slightly as the story develops.

⑤ Written purely for personal tastes. It's been three years since I last wrote a pampered-wife bottom. The bottom is a pampered wife, and the top is a total simp. My tastes are extremely old-fashioned and conservative. If this isn't your thing, please don't yell at me, qaq.
