Sorry, I Have a Boyfriend

After finally following his idol's footsteps and getting into the same university, Lu Qingnan hadn't even had a chance to confess when, just like in high school, scandals and rumors about his sexuality came out.

After finally getting close to the junior he'd secretly loved for years and sparking a little something between them, Qin Ran hadn't even had a chance to confess when, just like before, he heard him turn down a pursuer: "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend."

Lu Qingnan, whose unrequited love had made him insecure: No, I can't let my senior misunderstand me again.

Qin Ran, so timid it was exasperating: No, I have to figure out who his boyfriend is.

Lu Qingnan liked Qin Ran. He collected Qin Ran's things and thought everything about his idol was wonderful.

He'd thought he'd never have a chance, but gradually realized that Qin Ran had been quietly protecting him for a long time.

Qin Ran had lots of requirements for his ideal type. They had to be fresh-faced and clean, with two dimples when they smiled. They had to know how to dance and have a thin layer of muscle on their stomach. They should look a little melancholy when quiet and obedient, and when they cried, tears should cling to their eyes before falling one by one, clear and sparkling.

In truth, he didn't have any requirements at all. He was just describing Lu Qingnan.

After Qin Ran had fought his way through obstacle after obstacle and defeated one potential rival after another, he still couldn't find the person he was jealous of.

It turned out he'd been jealous of himself all along. Lu Qingnan had always considered him his one and only boyfriend.

The pursuer spoils the receiving lead, absolutely doting on him.

Please add my next story, "He Came Back with Superpowers", to your reading list~ Here's the blurb~

As a person without superpowers, Lu Chen was a pillar of the research department in the Alliance military.

During an anti-Alliance raid, the entire Pal Star, home to Alliance military headquarters, was devastated, with countless dead and wounded, and reduced to nothing. Lu Chen disappeared in the attack.

Everyone said Professor Lu had been reduced to dust, but Mu Huan never stopped searching for him.

Twenty years later, the Alliance faced another crisis. A distress signal opened a frozen chamber on a distant planet.

Lu Chen took down one of the five key leaders of the anti-Alliance forces in three punches and two kicks, then coldly pushed away Mu Huan's embrace. He pointed to the leader at his feet, burned until he was crisp on the outside and tender within. "See that? That's what happens to the last person who harassed me."

Mu Huan: "Oh, you can do the same to me. It's not like you could bring yourself to hit me."

Lu Chen: "Who are you? Why don't you introduce yourself first?"

Mu Huan lifted Lu Chen's shirt. The skin where a tattoo of their vows of eternal love had once been was now smooth.

His former lover didn't recognize him anymore. The Major General Mu, holder of the two strongest superpowers, a war hero who could destroy heaven and earth, had finally gone completely mad.

Later, Lu Chen discovered that he could handle every kind of superpower, but he couldn't handle this clingy mad dog.

The reason was that he had spoiled the mad dog himself. He'd bought his clothes, taught him, given him a battleship and a house, and even tricked him into his first kiss...

When Mu Huan's family arranged a political marriage for him, Lu Chen even wiped out the other party's entire family business...

No wonder that while Lu Chen was missing, Mu Huan used an identity ID Lu Chen had authorized to register their marriage...

After waking up from a long sleep, Lu Chen found himself with a husband and a sixth wedding anniversary to celebrate. Looking at his husband's peerless beauty, Professor Lu thought: I really do have great taste.

What could he do? Keep spoiling him, of course. Anyone whose name he'd tattooed on himself was his property.

"I... I heard Professor Lu has amnesia and doesn't recognize the Major General anymore!"

Then everyone in the military watched Professor Lu take control of every aircraft in sight and point them at Alliance headquarters. "You can bully me if you like, but don't bully Mu Huan."

"Did you hear? This morning, Major General Mu was once again driven here in a flying sports car by Professor Lu himself."

"That female lieutenant colonel who kept trying to cling to the Major General has been sent to prison by Professor Lu."

"So Professor Lu did have superpowers before. He just hid them for the Major General... I'm sobbing."
