Humanity's Strongest Is a Hopeless Romantic [Infinite]

Jiang Shixu is an ordinary coffee shop owner.

He is kind, gentle, and strikingly beautiful, and he treats everyone warmly. In many people's eyes, he's practically like a bright moon in the night sky.

If he has to be said to have a flaw, it might be

...that he talks about his husband way too much.

When someone compliments his clothes:

"Thanks, you have great taste. But how did you know my husband picked these out for me?"

When people discuss what to eat for dinner:

"My husband says I've been eating too much spicy food lately, so I need to eat something mild for the next couple of days."

He's practically a walking husband-praise machine.

At first, the people around him aren't quite used to it, but after hearing Jiang Shixu talk about his husband so often, they get over it.

Oh well, there's no point holding it against a hopeless romantic.

Besides, Jiang Shixu's husband really is handsome, so it's no wonder he's so smitten.

Just as Jiang Shixu thinks he'll go on being this happy forever,

a horror game called Disorder descends upon the real world.

*

When the horror game Disorder first arrives in reality, it drags many people into instances and forces them to clear them. Unfortunately, Jiang Shixu is one of them.

Since Jiang Shixu looks frail and weak, the others in his team don't consider him a suitable teammate and isolate him as soon as the instance begins.

They even shove him out as a human shield when a monster spots them while they're searching for clues.

But Jiang Shixu, who looks incapable of hurting a fly, isn't even left with a speck of dirt on his clothes after being attacked. He even gives them a gentle smile.

Before anyone can breathe a sigh of relief, a flash of cold light streaks through the air.

In an instant, the monster's head is severed from its body. Its fish-eyed head rolls into the crowd, its bloodshot eyes fixed on them.

The group erupts in screams. At last, the bravest among them steps forward and demands an explanation from Jiang Shixu.

"Who are you, really? How could a newbie possibly be this strong?"

Jiang Shixu raises an eyebrow, and the weakness he'd been pretending to show disappears.

He sounds faintly amused, as if he's heard something funny.

"A newbie? Did I ever say I was a newbie?"

After clearing the instance, Jiang Shixu hasn't even had a chance to recover when his husband pulls him into a tight embrace.

Then he hears Shen Xuchuan murmur in his ear, his voice full of someone returned from the dead: "I'll protect you."

Jiang Shixu chuckles softly and hugs Shen Xuchuan back.

"All right, darling."

"Then you have to make sure you protect me properly."

*

Before Shen Xuchuan forced him into instances to train his abilities, Jiang Shixu never imagined that the legendary leader of the combat team was his own husband.

After all, whenever Jiang Shixu asked what he did for a living, Shen Xuchuan would brush him off. So after a year together, all Jiang Shixu knew was that Shen Xuchuan worked for the government.

And if he remembered correctly, the two of them had a little "history" with each other in an instance once.

All he'd done was steal Jiang Shixu's item needed to clear the instance just before it ended, then send over thirty assassins after him.

Jiang Shixu: That's not... such a big deal, right?

Shen Xuchuan, who was nearly killed after his own wife set him up: Mm, not a big deal.
