A Straight Beta Falls into His Childhood Friend's Trap

[Completed. Wishing everyone happiness every day]

[Sunny, easygoing, sociable, straightforward beta, handsome bottom × outwardly cold but privately coaxing, gloomy, possessive alpha with a bit of an inferiority complex, handsome dad-type top]

Ji Yanchi lost his memory.

The good news: He'd only lost one year.

The bad news: Five days before losing his memory, he'd started an online relationship with an Omega girlfriend.

With no memory of meeting her or getting together, he could only carry on the embarrassingly sappy relationship in a state of anxious trepidation, afraid she'd find him out.

Just as he started developing feelings for this unfamiliar girlfriend and was getting ready to meet her in person...

His memories came back. There had been no online relationship at all. The Omega on the other end didn't even exist!

And there was only one person who knew the passwords to all his electronic devices, including his games

His Alpha childhood friend, Lu Congxiao.

Ji Yanchi had always trusted Lu Congxiao, but now he had no choice but to confront him, eyes red with anger.

The Lu Congxiao before him felt like a stranger, sending a chill through him. He felt Lu Congxiao lift his chin and say, one word at a time, in a low voice

"Because I like you. I have ever since the day I became an Alpha."

After being deceived for three whole months, Ji Yanchi punched Lu Congxiao hard and, in a fit of anger, went abroad.

*

The year Lu Congxiao's parents died and he moved in with Ji Yanchi's family, he presented as an Alpha and acquired a secret.

He had fallen for his childhood friend, Ji Yanchi.

When Ji Yanchi told him that he wanted to date an Omega, then unexpectedly lost his memory, jealousy drove Lu Congxiao to fabricate an illusion.

Lu Congxiao had long been prepared for the truth to come out. He had planned to replace Ji Yanchi's glands and make him officially his Omega.

But Ji Yanchi ran away, just before Lu Congxiao could put his plan into action.

On the verge of losing control, Lu Congxiao calculated the timing and prepared to bring Ji Yanchi back.

One rainy afternoon, Ji Yanchi, who had been avoiding him ever since his confession, returned early from abroad. With a cool expression, he handed Lu Congxiao an umbrella.

"The forecast said ages ago that there'd be a downpour today. You still didn't bring an umbrella. If you get soaked and end up in the hospital with a fever, who do you think you'll be inconveniencing? You don't have to return it."

Lu Congxiao silently watched that slender figure disappear into the rain.

That night, he burned his "plan" to ashes.

*

One day after they got together, Ji Yanchi accidentally discovered Lu Congxiao's secret.

The dark, sealed experimental reports revealed Lu Congxiao's shameful obsession.

Lu Congxiao waited for judgment, prepared for Ji Yanchi to be disgusted, leave, and abandon him.

But Ji Yanchi only stared at the data in silence for a long time before saying, "I can let you do all those things you wanted to do to me."

Lu Congxiao's voice trembled. "Why are you okay with all of it?"

Ji Yanchi's gaze was sincere. "Because I know you never really had the heart to hurt me."

Reader advisory:

1. Amnesia from the very beginning. Older top with strong possessiveness and a dad-type vibe. The bottom is straight, but perceptive, not completely oblivious.

2. The leads are each other's one and only, physically and emotionally. Strictly monogamous, both each other's first love. Extreme one-couple-only fans, beware.

3. College campus setting. The bottom starts out genuinely straight and never becomes an Omega. No children.

4. The top is a little crazy, but not that crazy. If you can't handle a gloomy character, please don't read.

5. On the cover, the handsome silver-and-purple-haired guy is the bottom, and the handsome black-haired guy is the top.

6. Bittersweet and sweet. Please add it to your favorites. I'll add anything else I think of later.

[The next book is The Daughter Kingdom King Syndrome, a lighthearted, funny, sweet, feel-good story. Please add it to your favorites!]

Yu Zhiyi, an out-of-fashion, washed-up idol, has a rare condition known in psychology as "Daughter Kingdom King Syndrome."

He has to find his own special "Tang Monk's flesh" and ease his symptoms by sucking and licking the other person's skin.

Just as Yu Zhiyi was at a loss, unable to find his "Tang Monk's flesh," and his symptoms were worsening to the point of insomnia, his agent dragged him onto a short-drama actor selection show called The Leading Role Showdown.

One of the show's mentors was the famous three-time Golden Award-winning Best Actor, Yan Fu.

Known as the strictest father in the film industry, he was dubbed "Strict Dad."

Yu Zhiyi was excellent at singing and dancing but astonishingly bad at acting. Just as Yan Fu, famously strict with actors, was about to deliver a scathing critique, he noticed the person onstage staring at him, licking his lips and swallowing.

Yan Fu stopped short, frowning despite himself. "Do you have chapped lips? Or have you not eaten?"

Yu Zhiyi kept swallowing and nodded with a cold expression.

After filming the first round of the show, Yu Zhiyi steeled himself and knocked on the door of Yan Fu's lounge.

Seeing him, Yan Fu felt pleased, thinking he had come to ask for acting advice. Yan Fu was always happy to share what he knew.

The room fell silent for three seconds.

Yu Zhiyi's face turned red. He bowed and said, "Teacher Yan, could I suck on a bit of your flesh? Just one bite."

Yan Fu: ?

Yan Fu: "First of all, I don't sleep with people for favors."

Yan Fu: "Second, I'm straight."

Yan Fu: "Wait, where do you want to suck?"

*

Honestly, Yan Fu had never met anyone who came right up to him asking to sleep with him for favors.

But Yu Zhiyi begged, saying that if Yan Fu let him suck a few times, he would work like a horse for him. Looking at that beautiful, cool face flushed with embarrassment, Yan Fu inexplicably agreed for free, letting him suck him until the final episode of the show.

Yu Zhiyi sucked all over his hands, arms, neck, ears, and even his face, everywhere except his mouth.

Then he sucked him straight.

Great. Yan Fu faced the fact that his sexuality had curled into a literal spring and prepared to confess.

But Yu Zhiyi said he'd had enough and ran away.

*

Thanks to Yu Zhiyi and Yan Fu's interactions on The Leading Role Showdown and the short film they made together for the finale, the two attracted a huge wave of shippers, all clamoring for a second collaboration.

Just then, Yu Zhiyi received an invitation to a new travel variety show, Celebrity Holiday Getaway Plan.

It wasn't until the first day of filming that he found out Yan Fu, his Tang Monk's flesh, was also a guest!

Out of gratitude, Yu Zhiyi decided to work like a horse for Yan Fu during the trip.

But Yan Fu didn't ask him to do anything. Instead, he fanned him when he got hot, cooked for him when he was hungry, and let him rest his head on him when he was tired...

Yu Zhiyi didn't understand, but he realized that his Daughter Kingdom King Syndrome seemed to be coming back. The longer the trip went on, the worse it became.

One day, Yan Fu saw Yu Zhiyi licking his lips and swallowing as he looked at him, for the first time in a long while.

He pulled him into a field of rapeseed flowers and asked, "Do you want to suck on me?"

Yu Zhiyi nodded.

Yan Fu curled his lips into a smile. "Then marry me, and I'll let you suck on me until the end of time. How about that?"

Yu Zhiyi's thoughts got tangled up. "But Teacher Yan, I'm straight."

Yan Fu laughed in exasperation. "Then I'll be your wife. You can still suck on me. How about that?"
