An omega professor who often loses his memory during heats and struggles to care for himself
&
An alpha bodyguard overflowing with dependability and husbandly charm
Fu Shilü has a rare, bizarre illness. During his heats, he suffers cognitive impairment that triggers amnesia, making him forget everything that happened while he was in heat.
As a result, he tries to avoid contact with people at school and in everyday life during his heats, and keeps his distance the rest of the time as well. Among the many teachers and students, he's earned a reputation as someone best left alone.
One day, an accident leads Fu Shilü to discover someone trespassing in his faculty dorm while he's in heat.
One moment, the Omega is scowling as he interrogates the intruder and threatens to call the police.
The next, he's thrown himself into the man's arms, calling out pitifully, "Honey..."
And so, Shan Keyin discovers another astonishing secret:
Professor Fu, who was clinging to him and cuddling him to sleep just two nights ago, can look right through him the next day in class, his face cold as he brushes past.
Shan Keyin considers himself a capable bodyguard with impeccable professionalism.
When his employer forgets his books, Shan Keyin appears at the door in time to hand them over.
When the seasons change, he thoughtfully packs his employer's clothes and delivers them to the school dorm.
When his employer can't manage a group assignment, he sits in on the class and makes the PowerPoint for him.
When his employer takes a liking to an Omega professor who teaches acupuncture and massage at school, that's no problem. He'll handle it!
A capable bodyguard will take advantage of Professor Fu's weakness to secretly gather information about his preferences, habits, and whereabouts, then bundle it all up and give it to his employer.
Until... one rainy night, Professor Fu stands outside Shan Keyin's apartment complex, umbrella in hand, his eyes damp with tears. "Honey, why did you take so long to come home? I'm hungry."
A capable bodyguard will steal his employer's target right out from under him. A mere professor? He'll win him over on his employer's behalf!
One night during a heat, the employer accidentally enters Shan Keyin's villa and happens to catch him marking Professor Fu's gland.
The heartbroken employer: QAQ "Teacher! Uncle Shan! What in the world is going on?!"
Shan Keyin is speechless, at a loss for an explanation.
Fu Shilü clutches the blanket, his eyes hazy with tears. "Honey, say something!"
A few reading tips:
* No children. The couple are devoted to each other. All medical details are fictional, so please don't scrutinize them.
* The employer has very little screen time. He's just an unlucky college student who moves the plot along.
* A few characters from the author's other work, "Phenethylamine," make an appearance, but this story can be read on its own.
