Rum and cherries go well together, too.
Qiao Xingming spent his twentieth birthday at a bar with Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng said, "Isn't it a funny coincidence? Your birthday is November 9, and mine is September 11. And it's not just our birthdays that line up. Our compatibility is 100 percent, a perfect match. It really must be fate." Xu Cheng chuckled. "Let's spend every day and every birthday together from now on."
Qiao Xingming seemed to be avoiding the subject, or perhaps deliberately teasing him. "Brother Cheng, you've said all that, but where's my birthday present?"
As he spoke, Xu Cheng took a small box from his pocket. Inside was a pair of exquisite bracelets, each adorned with a little bunch of cherries and a bottle of rum. "As soon as we graduate, we'll go to the marriage bureau and get married. For now, I'll use these bracelets, made just for us, to keep you by my side and stop anyone else from coveting you."
Qiao Xingming joked, "Don't you hate every omega in the world?"
Xu Cheng ruffled Qiao Xingming's hair. "What does my hating omegas have to do with my liking you?"
"But aren't I an omega too?"
"You're different. To me, the person I love is you. You are what matters, not what kind of person you are. I only love you. Even without pheromones and such an expensive compatibility score, I would still choose you and fall in love with you without hesitation."
"If... I'm just saying if... if you didn't feel disgusted or repulsed by any omega, and you were 100 percent compatible with an omega you'd never met, would you still choose me?"
"I would." Xu Cheng answered quickly and firmly. "Besides, there aren't that many 'ifs.' No matter how compatible I might be with another omega, you'll be the only omega for me. I only love you."
"All right, then I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you to come and marry me." Qiao Xingming smiled, his smile dazzling. The dimples in his cheeks made him look even more handsome. There was something slightly out of place about a young man in such a setting, yet he was utterly alluring.
Beneath the flashing colored lights and the noisy singing, they kissed. To anyone who happened to look their way, everything around them seemed utterly quiet. At that moment, the two young men shone so brightly.
