I Want to Get Married Today, Too

After a car accident, Lu Heyi lost his memories of the years between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-five.

During those four missing years, he had gone from being a student to a wildly successful star. He was swamped with advertising deals, decked out in fashion titles, and so beautiful he could get away with anything. He had fame and fortune. What a winner in life.

A winner in life? Not if he'd inexplicably broken up with Rong Shen!

It was raining the day he lost his memories. Lu Heyi hurried home and found the alpha he loved most. There was no gentle comfort, no tender embrace. Rong Shen looked at him as if he were a ghost, shoved him away, and told him to get out. Afraid of being nagged at, Lu Heyi had taken care to hold his umbrella properly all the way home, not getting a drop of rain on him. Yet he felt cold all over.

Rong Shen slammed the door and left. Lu Heyi fell into an endless abyss.

He wasn't a winner in life at all. Without Rong Shen, his happiness vanished like smoke, and Lu Heyi had lost his whole world.

Why had they broken up three years ago?

Lu Heyi knew just how much he loved Rong Shen. Every year, his birthday wish had been to marry him. How could they have broken up?

And the claim that he'd abandoned Rong Shen? He didn't believe it. It was even more absurd than a tall tale.

Every night before bed, he made a sincere wish: All you gods and celestial lords, I don't want the effortless six-pack anymore. Please give Rong Shen back to me. Thank you, thank you.

At twenty-one, the age when he'd come closest to happiness, Lu Heyi would brave every obstacle to win Rong Shen back.

He never expected that even with a 95% compatibility rating, winning him back would be so hard.

"Lu Heyi, once you make a move, there's no taking it back. You'll never understand."

The four years Lu Heyi couldn't remember had also been four lonely years for Rong Shen.

He had changed so much. The tech company he'd founded had grown bigger and bigger and was about to go public. He'd grown more and more silent, a block of ice wrapped in a black shirt.

But some things hadn't changed. For instance, when Lu Heyi acted spoiled, he could still get a little sweetness out of Rong Shen.

And they both still loved and hated with all their hearts. Lu Heyi had once drowned in his love for Rong Shen. Now, the hatred born from that love was nearly drowning him, too.

He was almost drowning, but he never thought of giving up.

Lu Heyi happened to discover that pheromones from a highly compatible partner could stimulate the recovery of memories.

He joined a variety show funded by Rong Shen's company, stayed by his side day and night, and took every opportunity to get close to him.

This close, that close, close in every way.

The alpha fastened his wristband. "That's enough for today."

Lu Heyi was still unsatisfied. "Brother Rong, just one more minute. You're the best."

The man let the omega reach for his hand and glanced at the door, which had long since been locked. Their pheromones mingled and spread once more.

He let Lu Heyi hold his hand, let their fingers interlace, let the moment stretch to ten minutes, then let himself be swept into a dizzying kiss.

He couldn't help asking, "Do you remember now?"

Lu Heyi was busy. "Almost, almost."

Later, Lu Heyi remembered everything and fled in the middle of the night.

He couldn't face Brother Rong ever again!

But Rong Shen cornered him at the airport, among the crowds, pinning him between his arms. Looking haggard, he asked in a sorrowful voice, "How long are you going to run away this time? Three years, or five?"

Ashamed, Lu Heyi couldn't bring himself to hug him, and stayed silent for a long time.

The alpha softened his voice, a rare gentleness in his coaxing. "One last chance. You said you wanted to marry me. So, Lu Heyi, are you still going to chase me?"

Lu Heyi lowered his head and asked himself, too: "I still want to marry Rong Shen today. But should I keep chasing him?"

Could he really still chase him?
