Chi Ren had only been sleeping in a cannibal tribe when he woke to find himself lying in bed, with a handsome man sleeping beside him.
At the scent of food, Chi Ren leaped up and grabbed the man's leg. Just as he was about to bite down, the man spoke:
"Renren, don't be naughty."
Chi Ren was so startled that he missed his mark and bit the man's knee instead.
When he looked up, he met a pair of shadowy eyes, and a hand suddenly tightened around his waist.
"What, are you trying to provoke me?"
"Who was it that said he'd abstain for a few days?"
Chi Ren felt a strange tightness in his lower back and realized he had somehow become afraid of food.
We'll take it slow, like boiling a frog in warm water.
Sure, he was the one who couldn't get out of bed and whose body was aching now, but later, someone else would be the one in pain.
…
When people heard that Chi Ren, the younger beta son of the Chi family, was going to enter a political marriage with You Zhuyu, an Alpha of considerable standing in the Empire, they all scoffed.
They waited for Chi Ren to be rejected, so he would never be able to hold his head up in the Empire again.
Surrounded by everyone, Chi Ren showed no nerves at all. Instead, he leisurely examined his fingers.
One of them had a bite mark.
"A political marriage?"
"He should start praying for himself."
After all, he had no interest in this stranger he'd been matched with. He only wanted to stay with the food at home.
"Renren, you just got better. Why aren't you sitting down to rest?"
Before he could react, someone swiftly wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him into his lap. Warm lips brushed his cheek.
Chi Ren shut out all the noise and focused on kissing him.
But as they kissed, he heard a crowd of people letting out piercing screams, repeatedly exclaiming, "Mr. You!" and "I can't believe Mr. You is being so forward!"
Chi Ren: Had his food turned into his political marriage partner?
You Zhuyu patted his lower back. "Your husband is here, Renren. Good boy."
…
You Zhuyu had a strange condition: whenever anyone came within a hundred meters of him, he instinctively recoiled and wanted to erase them completely.
You Zhuyu had thought he was beyond help, until the moment he met Chi Ren. His whole body clamored to take Chi Ren home…
To possess him completely, do whatever he pleased, and never let him leave.
So he signed an agreement and became Chi Ren's exclusive bed companion.
But as he kept him company, he realized…
Chi Ren seemed to have even more secrets than he did.
Hmm.
He was also a heartless little liar who ran off as soon as he was full and liked to bite people.
…
The day Chi Ren's identity was exposed was also the first day the Empire's Coexistence Act for Non-Native Species went into effect.
Thousands of cameras pointed at Chi Ren, waiting for him to explain himself.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt someone wrap their arms around him from behind, a palm pressed against his slightly rounded belly.
"He's pregnant. You've frightened him."
But Chi Ren, the person in question, nearly fainted. Trembling, he pointed at You Zhuyu. "I'm a cannibal… Can I really get pregnant with food's baby?"
①
After turning into a human, Chi Ren found it hard to adjust. Whenever he saw someone, he wanted to go over and cuddle up to them, and even felt like biting them outright.
So after Chi Ren spent the day seeing his friends, You Zhuyu gave him a thorough scolding that night.
Looking at his disheveled reflection, Chi Ren opened his mouth to curse, but the person behind him pressed close, a scorching kiss landing on his earlobe.
"Renren, baby…"
"Comfort me…"
Chi Ren: …Fine. He'd be magnanimous and let his little food person off the hook.
