Jiang Yujin went back and sent a long list of food requests, telling Liang Dongmo to choose which ones to cook for him the next day.

The boss is a very busy person, and it took him several hours to reply with an "OK".

Jiang Yujin felt puzzled. Didn't she like him? Shouldn't she have a lot to say to the person she liked?

Is it because you're embarrassed?

Then he tentatively sent a "1", and this time the other party replied instantly: "?"

Question mark? What does that mean? Saying you like someone is just a lie!

Jiang Yujin tossed aside his phone and angrily punched the pillow next to him.

My heart was in turmoil. I picked up my phone and sent another message: "I was just testing single deletion, no need to reply."

There's been no further movement; it's really gone.

This time, I'm not going back at all.

For several days in a row, let alone liking him, Liang Dongmo showed no intention of pursuing him. He would leave after cooking, leaving the cleaning up to the housekeeper. Jiang Yujin got up late and rarely saw him.

Jiang Yujin made up her mind and didn't go drinking. She went to bed early the night before, woke up at noon, and spent the afternoon watching a melodramatic family drama recommended by Lu Anshi in the living room.

While watching, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion. I never imagined that a few years later, he and his annoying deskmate would become best buddies who could talk about anything.

"Why don't you stay and have dinner before you leave?" Jiang Yujin called out to the mysterious snail chef he had finally met.

She couldn't just leave like that, otherwise all his efforts in getting up so early would have been for nothing.

"No, I have something to do." Liang Dongmo took off his apron and handed it to the aunt, then walked towards the door.

“I’m giving you a chance.” Jiang Yujin said, his pajamas half-open.

That patch of white was so eye-catching; should we say he had no sense of security, or that he was too good at seducing people?

Liang Dongmo forced himself to look away from his probing gaze. "What were you looking at just now?"

The speaker was so loud, it filled the entire living room; she could hear it even when she was cooking in the kitchen.

"The temptation to go home, what's wrong with that? Why do you have to tell me what I'm looking at?" Jiang Yujin put on his slippers, walked up to her, and asked back.

The omega spoke without a trace of shame; he was looking openly and honestly, it wasn't anything shameful.

The cook can go home after finishing cooking and doesn't need to care what the employer is doing.

Of course, the employer's current demand is that she stay.

Liang Dongmo: "".

What was the name? When I searched for it later, I just laughed.

"See, I won't bother you."

Liang Dongmo didn't seem to have anything going on, so he wanted to avoid him.

"You can sit down and watch with me if you want, I'm not a petty boss."

Jiang Yujin isn't a monster; if you like him, why not get closer to him? There's room on the sofa, and the TV screen is large.

Liang Dongmo would finish cooking and leave immediately each time, which made him seem fierce and like he liked to chase people away.

Liang Dongmo stopped and ate with him face to face. Jiang Yujin felt inexplicably awkward and kept his head down, silently eating his rice.

He looked up and saw that someone had placed the fish meat, with the bones removed, on a small plate in front of him.

"For me? Thank you."

You should seize every opportunity to show off.

Jiang Yujin ate the boneless fish, secretly pleased; he might as well consider it.

Jiang Yujin wanted to say a few more words, but his older brother had just finished get off work and picked up his niece and taken her home.

Jiang Rongzhou said he'd take Miaomiao out for dinner today, so we don't need to wait for them. I finished work early and came back after eating.

"Uncle, eat!" Miaomiao took the packaged chicken leg and stuffed it into Jiang Yujin's hand.

"Miaomiao is back from kindergarten? Thank you for bringing me the chicken leg! You still remember your uncle when you go out to play! That's great!" Jiang Yujin put down his chopsticks, his attention completely focused on his little niece.

Jiang Rongzhou entered and saw Liang Dongmo; his expression turned grim. "What's this person doing here?!"

Jiang Yujin explained, "I asked her to come to our house as a cook. Brother, do you know her?"

Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Jiang Yujin began to speculate wildly. Could it be that Liang Dongmo was actually his sister-in-law...?

So he let a wolf into the house? No, how can two alphas have a child?

"Don't make wild guesses, it's a business partner I knew from before," Jiang Rongzhou said casually, realizing his lapse in composure.

We were colleagues at Jiang's company during that time.

"Oh, brother, do you need some private space to catch up?" Jiang Yujin asked, unusually considerate.

While the adults are talking, he can take care of the children without interfering with them.

"No need, I've finished eating. I have things to do at the shop, so I'll head back now." Without waiting for a reply, Liang Dongmo left decisively this time.

Jiang Rongzhou looked at Jiang Yujin, who was engrossed in eating, and felt utterly exhausted.

The reason for keeping it from the amnesiac was to protect him, but the amnesiac himself brought him back. It's impossible to tell directly; it's truly a tragic fate.

"Don't let her come again." Now that the damage has been cut and her memories restored, Jiang Yujin regrets it.

“She looks a bit cold, but she’s a really good cook. Brother, please let her stay. She’s been cooking for the past few days. Didn’t you say she’s good too? Miao Miao is growing and has eaten several extra bowls of rice!” Jiang Yujin’s heart had unknowingly tipped in favor of Liang Dongmo, and he begged his brother to let Liang Dongmo stay as the chef.

After he woke up, everyone would basically fulfill his every request.

Hearing this, Jiang Rongzhou took a deep breath. "Xiao Jin, it's your business if you want to keep her. I'll take Miaomiao to bed." He picked up the sleepy child and went upstairs.

As expected, Jiang Rongzhou tacitly agreed.

-

Jiang Yujin knew that her older brother didn't like Liang Dongmo, so every time he asked her to cook, it was when he was the only one at home.

He stopped going to bars, adjusted his routine, and with no homework, no college entrance exam, and no parental supervision, he was already twenty-four years old. With nothing to do, he planned to binge-watch all the other TV series recommended by Lu Anshi, most of which had melodramatic plots.

Jiang Yujin initially thought the plot was melodramatic and clichéd, and he could roughly guess how the story would unfold. However, he became addicted to it and the more he watched, the more obsessed he became.

He wasn't satisfied with watching it alone; he dragged the housekeeper and Liang Dongmo to watch it together. He even had principles: it wasn't suitable for children to watch, so he gave them his phone to watch cartoons on the side.

“I didn’t know you had this hobby.” Liang Dongmo was clearly not interested; he was just keeping him company.

"What?" Jiang Yujin was focused on the plot and didn't hear the whispers next to him.

"It's nothing. I saw you were engrossed in watching TV and didn't want to disturb you." Liang Dongmo said helplessly. Jiang Yujin was a bit naive and didn't put up with people in life, a trait she had never been able to correct.

The two sat on the sofa, separated by an air gap, maintaining a normal social distance.

When the TV show reached the end credits, the song "Safe Haven" played:

It will make you forget everything from the past.

After the first part finished playing, Jiang Yujin fumbled for the remote control to find the second part to watch, but the remote control was nowhere to be found.

He fumbled around on the sofa, but still found nothing. He pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Liang Dongmo? Was it true that you admitted you liked me before?" He was incredibly nervous.

He's had a lot of dreams these past few days, like fragments of memories rushing towards him and chasing after him.

Jiang Yujin stubbornly kept running in his dream, not wanting those things to catch up with him.

"What did you say?" Liang Dongmo turned to look at him, only to see that his gaze was fixed on the large television screen.

Jiang Yujin had no choice but to muster up his courage and repeat himself, still not daring to look at her: "Did you really mean it when you said you liked me before?"

Liang Dongmo answered without hesitation, "It's true."

"You don't know I'm rich and you're trying to scam me out of my money and run away, do you?" Jiang Yujin was suspicious. If he were to date Liang Dongmo, he would be losing out badly, while Liang Dongmo would be making a fortune.

The idea of ​​a small restaurant owner marrying into a wealthy family is something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But why was Liang Dongmo's attitude so cold? "I won't."

Jiang Yujin's voice trailed off as she asked, "Liang Dongmo, can we date?"

"Why?"

Liang Dongmo suddenly leaned over, startling Jiang Yujin so much that he dropped the remote control he had just touched, making a loud noise.

Why ask why? There aren't that many "whys".

Liang Dongmo is pretending to be stupid!

He even took the initiative to say that he wanted to date her.

When their eyes met, he realized that Liang Dongmo was about to cry. He almost jumped up and bumped into her chin.

"Why?"

Liang Dongmo grabbed his shoulders with both hands and repeated the same sentence as him, trying to confirm whether what he heard was true.

Jiang Yujin isn't deaf; saying it once is enough.

"Because you're pretty, I like you. Don't you like me too? We can date for a month first, and then consider marriage."

He's been bedridden for years and hasn't even had a relationship—how ​​tragic! Now there's a ready-made alpha right in front of him who happens to be able to cook his favorite dishes; it'll be so impressive to talk about him with him.

Jiang Yujin went all out; the long-time, unassuming, high-class chef was finally here.

"If you like money, I happen to have a lot of money. With this money, you won't need to go to the store anymore."

Jiang Yujin was thinking long-term. Since they were getting along well, they decided not to break up and just get married. It wouldn't be troublesome, and in two years their child would be old enough to run errands.

Seeing that Liang Dongmo was silent, he tentatively asked, "You don't have any lingering feelings for your ex, do you?"

You're all alone, but you've forgotten.

That's fine.

"No."

Liang Dongmo responded to every word, as if she could hug the naive omega across from her if she got just a little closer. She did indeed put her idea into practice.

Jiang Yujin was suddenly hugged, her heart skipped a beat, and she silently told herself to calm down.

He had met someone in his dream, and the feeling of being hugged like this was pretty much the same.

"Okay, then let's call this a deal. Now...you kiss me first."

Omega pouted comically, his tightly closed eyes clearly telling the person opposite him that he was very nervous. Liang Dongmo held his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Jiang Yujin, how old are you now?"

"Seventeen, no... it's twenty-four!" Jiang Yujin lied, but he was indeed twenty-four years old.

"Have you dated anyone before?" The alpha mischievously pinched and rubbed his reddened earlobe.

Jiang Yujin shrank back, shifting his legs to the side. Liang Dongmo noticed and, with a scream, easily lifted him onto his lap, fiddling with his legs. "Jiang Yujin, why aren't you answering my questions?"

Jiang Yujin blushed and stammered, "I don't date young."

Wasn't he in a vegetative state for several years?

So he has never been with anyone else.

There was no early romantic relationship either.

"Okay, then let's be together."

fall in love.

Was Jiang Yujin like this at seventeen?

She came into contact with it a little later, and upon careful consideration, that's how it is.

Long time no see, Jiang Yujin.

Jiang Yujin, who can fall in love with her again even after losing his memory, is so foolish.

Liang Dongmo felt fortunate that Jiang Yujin hadn't fallen for anyone else after waking up, so her year-long vigil at the hospital waiting for him to wake up wasn't in vain.

It doesn't matter.

If we can't wait until he regains his memory, we'll create real, undeceptive memories.

...

Jiang Rongzhou opposed their relationship, so Jiang Yujin didn't tell anyone in her family. While a public relationship was important, a secret relationship was obviously more exciting.

Jiang Yujin didn't dare let Liang Dongmo stay overnight. Several times, when they were halfway through their kiss, someone would come back, and Jiang Yujin would anxiously try to hide him.

He shooed people to the kitchen, and when they came out of the kitchen and saw other people, they felt incredibly guilty.

After several days of keeping their affair secret, Jiang Yujin finally remembered that there was a surveillance camera installed in his living room.

The things they've been doing secretly these past few days have all been filmed.

He looked at that corner, which he remembered had been equipped with a surveillance camera, but was now empty.

As Jiang Yujin looked on in confusion, Liang Dongmo appeared behind him. "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Yujin pointed it out to her, "There used to be a surveillance camera in that area of ​​my house, but I don't know when it was removed."

Liang Dongmo seemed to be thinking, "Ajin, wait until your older brother comes back and ask him. I don't know anything about your family."

The day Jiang Yujin discovered the surveillance cameras, all of them were removed.

"Okay. If we get photographed, we're finished."

Jiang Yujin felt sullen at the thought of being forced to separate the lovers.

They've only been dating for less than a month, and their families are separating them.

"It's okay, it won't happen, don't worry."

Liang Dongmo's way of comforting him was very effective; he didn't rely on pheromones, just a hug was enough.

Jiang Yujin felt the warmth in her arms and calmed down a lot.

-

That night, after everyone in the family had gone to sleep, Jiang Yujin secretly made a video call to the person she liked in her room.

During the honeymoon phase of a young couple's relationship, they never seem to have enough time to spend together, day or night.

"Did you take a shower?" Liang Dongmo was still outside at this hour. Under the dim streetlights, her expression was unclear, but her voice was exceptionally clear.

"Hmm, it's late. What are you doing now? Liang Dongmo, are you outside?" Jiang Yujin finished showering and went to bed. He only turned on the bedside lamp. His hair was still a little damp after he blew it out.

"Just wandering around outside, will be back soon." Alpha adjusted his perspective, taking in all the subtle movements on the other side.

“Liang Dongmo, didn’t you say you were going to bring the cat over to play last time? When I was comforting Miaomiao, I said I could let her see the cat if she didn’t cry. I thought she had forgotten after so long, but she suddenly remembered yesterday and kept asking to see the cat. I couldn’t comfort her no matter what I did.”

"My cat doesn't like going into its carrier or moving around." Partly because it eats too much and is too heavy to carry. Partly because Liang Dongmo wants to truly bring it home.

“If Ajin wants to see cats, he can come to my house.”

Liang Dongmo's hints were about to become explicit.

Jiang Yujin's last bit of intelligence was completely exhausted when they first met, as he thought that after dating for two weeks, they already knew each other quite well.

He had no idea what kind of exploitation he would get after he arrived, and readily agreed: "Okay, your cat is quite unique. Liang Dongmo, are there any other people at your house? Isn't it too hasty for me to go there so abruptly?"

If Liang Dongmo's parents were home, would they agree to them being together?

"There's no one else here. I live alone. My parents passed away a long time ago." There's only his so-called biological father in jail, whom Liang Dongmo arranged to be well taken care of. Now, his fate is unknown.

"I'm sorry, Liang Dongmo, you must be scared living alone, right?" Jiang Yujin apologized immediately upon touching on her sore spot. Sometimes, when he slept alone in a quiet room, he would also be scared.

"It's okay, I'm used to being alone. You don't need to apologize to me. If Ajin wants to come to my house to see the cat, he can come anytime. He's always welcome."

Liang Dongmo gave a relaxed smile, though he felt it was rather forced.

“Now you have me, Liang Dongmo.”

"You're not alone anymore, you know?"

Jiang Yujin is so sincere.

"Okay, I understand, Ajin."

Liang Dongmo wanted this kind of relationship to last longer, much longer. Their previous relationship was abnormal, influenced by too many other factors.

"Liang Dongmo, can I come tomorrow?"

"Of course, no problem."

A large truck drove past Liang Dongmo.

It's very noisy.

"Aren't you going home yet, Liang Dongmo?"

"The car will be parked up ahead soon. It's just a short walk away. Are you sleepy, Ajin?"

"Okay, then text me when you get home."

"good."

Jiang Yujin is usually quite resilient, but as he gets older, he can't keep up anymore. He saves the time he spends at bars to spend with Liang Dongmo.

Two hours later, he received a message that Liang Dongmo had arrived home, and only then did he put down his phone and go to sleep.

"It's so well-behaved. I've seen other people's cats that don't like strangers and walk around them, and some of them even meow very loudly."

The cat nestled in Jiang Yujin's arms and rubbed against him incessantly.

"It's our cat."

You don't remember it; you've forgotten it.

The cat was very well-behaved, and Jiang Yujin liked it immensely the moment he picked it up. "Oh, is its name Christmas? Liang Dongmo, I remember you said your profile picture was always this cat." They were dating, and Liang Dongmo's cat was indeed his cat.

"Jealous of a cat? You can even use your picture as your profile picture, wanting me to change mine to your photo?" Liang Dongmo squatted down and laughed.

"No, I was just saying your profile picture is a cat, Liang Dongmo."

Jiang Yujin tried to hide behind the cat to escape: "I'm going home, my older brother and the others are coming back."

"Not staying?" Liang Dongmo could have asked him to stay with her, but she left the choice to Jiang Yujin.

"No, no! Liang Dongmo, I really have to go home."

The omega's attitude was resolute, and his words were decisive.

It's strange that the cat stayed at his boyfriend's house, even if he felt that everything looked familiar, like he'd seen it in a dream.

Liang Dongmo said he would see him off without any expression. Before the two of them even left the house, she pressed the omega, who hadn't had time to react, against the door and kissed him repeatedly, using her actions to tell him that she wanted him to stay.

Jiang Yujin almost couldn't breathe because he hadn't learned how to breathe properly.

-

"Didn't you already watch it last time?"

"It's different. This is the second part, called 'Desire to Go Home,' which is about slapping the scumbag in the face."

The nanny doesn't live at home; she went home at this time.

Jiang Yujin brazenly pounced on her, looking down at the alpha beneath him, leaving her to wait anxiously for his next move.

The omega didn't make any further moves for a long time, so Liang Dongmo boldly picked him up and changed his position. "It seems like you have something to ask me?"

"Have we met before, Liang Dongmo?" Jiang Yujin hooked her neck, leaned forward slightly, and stopped just before their lips touched, still a little distance apart.

The necklace around Liang Dongmo's neck fell off, and Jiang Yujin saw it; he had been keeping an eye on it for the past few days.

"That necklace you're wearing, was it actually a gift from your ex? You wear it every day and can't bear to take it off."

“I don’t have an ex. If you like, you can wear it.” Liang Dongmo put his arm around his waist and bounced him up, waiting for him to kiss him first.

After Liang Dongmo said that, Jiang Yujin felt he could speak up. Looking at the necklace, he felt inexplicably sad.

"It's so tacky, I don't want it." The omega turned his head away to hide his unclear and unnecessary emotions.

"Okay." Liang Dongmo didn't care about this little incident; what she wanted was waiting for her later.

"What is our relationship, um..." It was too close, the omega was so proactive, Liang Dongmo could no longer control himself and kissed the part of his shoulder that was exposed as he leaned back on the sofa.

Unlike usual, the kiss was urgent, like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey. Jiang Yujin couldn't finish her sentence and instead let out a few soft moans.

“We know each other, we’re bed partners, don’t you remember me?” Liang Dongmo kissed one spot enough, and answered whatever he asked.

"Then... are we still going to continue this relationship?" Jiang Yujin stared at her in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Liang Dongmo retorted, "Why not talk about it?" Aren't they dating? Jiang Yujin said they could date, and he could give her money.

Two kinds of pheromones spread unchecked in the living room. Jiang Yujin got a moment to catch her breath and reached out to untie the extra restraints around her neck. "Hurry up... um... mark me."

Liang Dongmo's pheromones smell so good.

"Don't rush, let's go to your room." Liang Dongmo, holding the person in his arms, remained rational and used his free hand to turn on the pheromone purification device in the living room before leading the person upstairs.

Not receiving a mark from the other quickly, the omega started crying impatiently, making Liang Dongmo's movements stiff. He stopped halfway and cupped the omega's face, gently coaxing, "What's wrong, baby? Are you feeling unwell?"

"To be marked..."

Ugh.

I want to mark it, I really want to.

Omega's physiological instincts urged him to quickly obtain the mark unique to alphas.

"Don't cry, we'll take it slowly. I won't let you get hurt again, Jiang Yujin, I'm sorry."

Seeing the omega's tears fall, Liang Dongmo's heart clenched, and he quickly kissed away the tears that were about to fall from his face.

Please, stop crying.

...

"Liang Dongmo, your skills are really bad."

But it's still alright.

Jiang Yujin was stubborn, even though he was too ashamed to come out and see people. But he couldn't take it anymore after just two times, and his face felt even hotter under the covers.

"Yeah?"

The person who was crying like a little kitten just now is too ashamed to come out and face anyone.

Looking at the wriggling figure under the covers, Liang Dongmo felt a little better.

Jiang Yujin regained his senses for a while and recalled the stupid question he had asked at the beginning.

"Do you want to get pregnant with my child here, Jiang Yujin?" The alpha asked, his hand touching Jiang Yujin's thin belly.

If you don't use it, you'll get pregnant with Liang Dongmo's child...

A child clinging tightly to the thread of blood ties between them.

Before he could calm down, he became agitated again, and the alpha took off his shoes, got into bed, and hugged him from behind.

"Don't move, Ajin, let me sleep a little longer. I need to cook dinner when I get up." Liang Dongmo held her tightly, and Jiang Yujin didn't dare to move, afraid of disturbing her rest.

In two hours it will be dinner time.

-

Jiang Yujin held his ID card, looking as nervous as if he were about to elope with Liang Dongmo.

"Let's get married."

It's been a month since I started dating Liang Dongmo.

The next day, Jiang Yujin came to her door with his ID card and said he wanted to get a marriage certificate with her.

The policy has changed; you no longer need a household registration booklet, just an ID card to register for marriage.

"Are you really sure, Ajin?" Liang Dongmo stroked the plain gold ring he had solemnly placed in her hand. She hadn't expected that Jiang Yujin had already planned their future together before the day he decided to be with her.

Did Jiang Yujin think the same way back then? He was just being tricked into being with her.

"Have you thought it through? Do you want to marry me? If so, bring your ID card and come with me to get our marriage certificate now."

After getting their marriage certificate, they would be a legally married couple. Jiang Yujin's thinking was simple: if you like someone and want to be with her, it's irresponsible not to think about the future beforehand.

"Ajin, don't you need to tell your brother? I'm afraid you're acting too rashly and impulsively now, and you'll regret it later." Considering that he has amnesia, Liang Dongmo didn't want to take advantage of him.

Although she had already gone too far, not binding him with marriage was her bottom line.

If there's something being hidden, then they can't be together properly.

But Jiang Yujin remembered that he would probably stay far away from her.

If this relationship had lasted a little longer, Liang Dongmo could have deceived himself a little more.

"Liang Dongmo, what does my marriage have to do with my brother? You don't want to cherish what you've got, do you? You were lying when you said you liked me before, weren't you? Now that you've slept with me, you don't want to take responsibility for me." Jiang Yujin thought she was scared and deliberately provoked her.

"Let me think about it." Liang Dongmo put the ring he gave him on the ring finger of his left hand, and then put his ring on for him.

She should have been the one to propose, but Jiang Yujin beat her to it.

"I need to think about this some more, Liang Dongmo. You don't really like me. You just like my money. I told you before we started dating that if you need money, I happen to have a lot of money. Don't worry about people saying you're a gold digger."

Liang Dongmo chuckled and said, "I genuinely like her."

If I didn't truly love him, how could I get back together with him? The manipulation was real, but so was the genuine affection.

But the genuine feelings that followed, like a bird hatching from its shell, gradually grew from a fledgling into an ambitious falcon, wanting to take everything that had nurtured it.

"You even said that if you didn't want to get married, you should give me back the ring."

The omega got angry and tried to bite her.

He didn't get bitten, but Liang Dongmo pinched his chin and kissed him the moment their eyes met.

"Wait a few days, I need time to think. I won't return the ring to you. I love the baby very much and will never sell it. I have money, I don't need you to give me any, Jiang Yujin."
