Don’t Wait for Your Boyfriend in the Crematorium

 

Gu Weici suddenly laughed, “Jiang Qingyue, you don’t doubt it, you just don’t want to believe it?”

 

Jiang Qingyue patiently repeated: “I believe it, I said I already knew about those words he said.”

 

Gu Weici paused for two seconds, then suddenly became hysterical, “Why are you still pretending with me? What I can’t stand the most is your self-righteous attitude! Do you dare to say you don’t care about what Ren Shuhan said? Do you think I believe that? You’re simply avoiding it!”

 

Jiang Qingyue sighed, feeling troubled because he had never dealt with someone like this before.

 

“I said I know, and I truly know. Otherwise, I can repeat what you just said. Would you like to hear it?”

 

In the nearby corridor, Ren Shuhan stopped in his tracks.

 

Just one turn and a few steps away, and he would be by his beloved’s side. But he suddenly felt a headache, not because of the rush of memories flooding back but because he didn’t want to listen.

 

Stop talking.

 

Please don’t say it again.

 

“He said,” Jiang Qingyue repeated lightly, “I regretted it. After you left, I realized how important you were to me.”

 

The night before Ren Shuhan bound the system, under the influence of a little bit of intoxication, he knocked on Gu Weici’s door. After some false pleasantries and receiving a cold reception, he impulsively confessed his true feelings.

 

The memories rewound in chronological order, and this recent past was the last part in the progress bar. Whether it was a coincidence or a setting by the system, it happened to play out just as Gu Weici had said it. Ren Shuhan had only just fully remembered it.

 

“He said,” Jiang Qingyue sat down at the table and kept on, “I know what love feels like for the first time in my life. And the person I fell in love with is you.”

 

Such a confession only made Gu Weici feel bored, but Ren Shuhan, deeply affected by the aura of the protagonist’s halo, couldn’t extricate himself. So after being rejected and driven away, Ren Shuhan went to a random bar to get drunk.

 

The next day, the system informed him that Jiang Qingyue, who had just returned to the country, couldn’t contact him. Jiang Qingyue searched for him from one place to another, running through half the city, until he found him and brought him back home.

 

“He said,” Jiang Qingyue picked up a glass of water and took a sip before continuing “I used to think I liked Jiang Qingyue, but I was wrong. The feelings I had for him were not love. Regardless of whether he comes back or not, I won’t have any relationship with him. Weici, can you forgive me? Will you give me another chance?”

 

That night, Jiang Qingyue took good care of the drunken Ren Shuhan. But Ren Shuhan mistook him as Gu Weici, and he held him and kept repeating all these stupid words.

 

Ren Shuhan no longer had the strength to blame the system for not giving him any prompts or asking why the original plot wasn’t written clearly.

 

He simply took one more step toward Jiang Qingyue’s room, seemingly using up all his strength.

 

“I knew all of this because I heard him say it himself. That night, he was drunk and mistook me for you and repeated everything.” Jing Qingyue put the cup on the table and got up, taking two steps forward. “But I don’t care. If that’s all you had to say, then you can leave.”

 

Gu Weici wasn’t as tall as him. When he approached him, he subconsciously took a step back. Jiang Qingyue wasn’t making any move, and his expression was still mild, yet his temperament was frightening.

 

In the original plot, Jiang Qingyue’s role as a white moonlight ended up after that fateful night. There was no appearance in a show later on, and obviously no wedding such as now. He should’ve played a supporting role with no lines!

 

“He…” Gu Weici took a deep breath and trembled as he spoke, “He doesn’t love you at all, and yet, you still force yourself to be with him. Have you ever thought that maybe he’s just trying to make me jealous or, or…”

 

He couldn’t continue.

 

He couldn’t find any other reasons himself because if he tried to think from a normal person’s perspective, he wouldn’t believe that Ren Shuhan would do all this for such a disturbing reason.

 

But Jiang Qingyue actually found another reason for him: “Or he has amnesia and forgot his feelings for you, right?”

 

Gu Weici paused for a moment before saying, “Yes, yes! Don’t you think it’s despicable to bind him like this?!”

 

As Ren Shuhan walked towards the door, he paused upon hearing Jiang Qingyue’s words.

 

“I’ve already said it. I don’t care. As long as Young Master wants to be with me now, I don’t care about who he loves.” Jiang Qingyue gestured with a “please” motion. “You can take a gamble. If you don’t leave now, I’ll call security, and can you guess who Young Master will ask to leave?”

 

Gu Weici found it difficult to breathe, gasping for air as he asked, “Jiang Qingyue, you pretend to be non-competitive and non-aggressive, but behind the scenes, you’re a completely different person. Does he know? What do you think he would do if he knew?”

 

Jiang Qingyue frowned and grabbed his collar, pressing him against the door: “Are you threatening me?”

 

Seeing his slender figure, Gu Weici didn’t expect him to be so strong. He couldn’t break free and became even more terrified at the moment.

 

But before he could scare himself into saying something he shouldn’t, Ren Shuhan suddenly came into the room, pushing the door open.

 

Ren Shuhan couldn’t stand anyone insulting his baby, but he only heard the voices and couldn’t see what was happening inside the room. In his impulse, he pushed the door, causing Gu Weici, who was pressed against it, to fall into Jiang Qingyue’s embrace. The three of them instantly felt extremely awkward.

 

Jiang Qingyue: “?”

 

Gu Weici: “!”

 

Ren Shuhan reacted the fastest. He pulled Gu Weici away and punched him directly in the face. “Touching my wife?”

 

Seeking death?

 

Jiang Qingyue: “???”

 

“Get out of here!” Ren Shuhan pointed to the corridor. “If you bother us again, I’ll make the whole internet know about your affair with a certain director.”

 

Gu Weici covered his face, looking at him in shock and panic. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he questioned in a high-pitched voice, “Impossible! How do you know? No… What are you saying? I’m not!”

 

Ren Shuhan no longer wasted words with him. He spoke to the two bodyguards in the corridor, saying, “Take him away. And go warn Yan Huan. Tell him to forget about what I said this time, but if he causes trouble again, send him away without mercy.”

 

Gu Weici looked at Ren Shuhan and suddenly remembered Yan Huan’s expression when he looked at him. It seemed so similar to Ren Shuhan’s.

 

He was being dragged away to the other side of the corridor. As they turned a corner, they passed by a group of men dressed as groomsmen, chatting. Unfortunately, he recognized all of them. Among them was Shen Xinghe, the supporting Gong who was supposed to fall in love with him.

 

“Eh,” he looked at Gu Weici being dragged away and asked the person next to him, “How can Brother Han let you go?”

 

“Why wouldn’t he let me go?”

 

The answer came from Yan Huan, the villain who should love him obsessively, to the point of imprisoning him in a basement that only belonged to him. At this moment, Yan Huan only glanced at himself with contemptuous laughter…

 

“It’s just playing around with him. Who told him to go back so early yesterday, prioritizing love over friendship? I just thought that in a wedding, there should be someone to say ‘I object.’ It would be more interesting that way.”

 

Gu Weici realized that Ren Shuhan must have learned about it from Yan Huan, and Yan Huan’s polite yet non-ambiguous attitude towards him must be because he knew about the deal between himself and that director…

 

They both knew, the most shameful thing about himself.

 

“Jokes aren’t meant to be like this,” the person who didn’t even spare him a glance was Gu Qingmeng. He was supposed to be rejected by Shen Xinghe and be insanely jealous of him but powerless. Now, he only wrinkled his brow in disdain, as if something dirty had passed by him. “The newlyweds should be enjoying their sweet moments, and he had to ruin it. How disgusting.”

 

Someone who didn’t know what had happened just walked over, it was Qu Chong. He was supposed to silently protect him throughout, willing to give everything for him, but now he was just watching the spectacle. “Hmm? Isn’t that Gu Weici? Why is he being carried away by bodyguards? What happened?”

 

Shen Xinghe pointed with his finger.

 

Qu Chong: “?”

 

“Something’s wrong with his brain,” Yan Huan laughed coldly, “He’s just a despicable dog. Now that you’ve seen enough, everyone disperse and help prepare for the wedding.”

 

Those were the last words Gu Weici heard before he was dragged out of that floor. During the entire walk to the wedding venue’s entrance, countless passing guests whispered, either scornful or mocking, but he was powerless.

 

He finally realized that all his fantasies were built on the foundation that Ren Shuhan and other outstanding men loved him. But now that the fantasy was shattered, he became an ordinary person, the kind he used to look down upon.

 

For the rest of his life, he never saw Ren Shuhan and Jiang Qingyue again.

 

After closing the door to the room, Ren Shuhan had the system block Gu Weici himself, along with any news about him. A madman isn’t scary, but a madman who knows one’s dark history is terrifying.

 

He locked eyes with Jiang Qingyue, and after a long moment, they both spoke at the same time.

 

Ren Shuhan: “I have only loved one person…”

 

Jiang Qingyue: “Looks very nice…”

 

The two fell silent simultaneously. After staring at him for a while, Ren Shuhan asked, with his forehead against Jiang Qingyue’s, “What looks nice?”

 

Jiang Qingyue’s gaze wandered, several times landing on the flower-shaped brooch on his chest.

 

“The suit?” Ren Shuhan approached him, pressing against him, and asked, “You’re praising my suit at a time like this?”

 

Ren Shuhan rarely wore white. Today, he was dressed in a gorgeous white tuxedo, similar to Jiang Qingyue’s outfit as a couple, but it had a different effect due to his broad shoulders and chest, which Jiang Qingyue hadn’t seen during the fitting.

 

Jiang Qingyue tilted his head and blinked his eyes. “What’s the matter? What did you say earlier?”

 

Ren Shuhan cupped his face with his right hand, his forehead against Jiang Qingyue’s.

 

“I said I have only loved one person in my life, and that’s you.”

 

Jiang Qingyue slowly widened his eyes. “You heard it?”

 

His lips trembled slightly, and Ren Shuhan pressed them gently with his left thumb, stroking his lower lip.

 

“I heard it, and I remembered,” Ren Shuhan’s right hand held his jaw with some force, reprimanding him sternly, “Why didn’t you tell me? If I hadn’t remembered, would you never have said it? Because you thought I would leave you if I knew?”

 

Jiang Qingyue hurriedly shook his head, completely losing the strength he had when facing Gu Weici earlier.

 

If it weren’t for the current situation, Ren Shuhan felt that he would never utter such cheesy words in his lifetime. Still, he said it with a gnashing tone, “Don’t you know that I feel distressed when you’re hurting?”

 

Jiang Qingyue’s eyes misted over, resembling a child feeling wronged.

 

In Ren Shuhan’s complete memories of all these years, except for when they were in bed, Jiang Qingyue had never shown this expression since he entered elementary school. The first time was when he said he wanted to cut his hair at school, and now was the second time.

 

Even on that night when he was confused and confessed to Gu Weici while holding Jiang Qingyue, he didn’t cry. Instead, he gently comforted him like a doting parent would comfort a child.

 

However, Ren Shuhan’s temper still hadn’t subsided. He bit Jiang Qingyue’s upper lip and pressed him for an answer, “Why didn’t you ask me for an explanation? Don’t you trust me?”

 

Jiang Qingyue shook his head, “I do trust you. I believe whatever you say, but if you remember…”

 

He didn’t finish his sentence, but that look in his eyes made Ren Shuhan want to devour him.

 

“I remember. I don’t love you anymore, and I’m leaving,” Ren Shuhan let go of him, took a few steps forward, then turned around to interrogate him, “So can you accept that? Have you anticipated this day for a long time?”

 

Jiang Qingyue’s lip trembled, appearing both pitiful and adorable. He spoke with a tearful voice and reached out to grab the hem of Ren Shuhan’s clothes.

 

“Don’t go, Young Master…”

 

Ren Shuhan was filled with heartache by his actions and pulled him into his embrace, gripping his wrist tightly. “Does it hurt? Then why didn’t you say qnything when I confessed, or when I proposed?”

 

“I couldn’t…,” tears streamed down Jiang Qingyue’s face, “I just like you, Young Master. I don’t want to give you up.”

 

Even if you might not like me, I couldn’t refuse being with you.

 

Even if you might be using me, there is no way I’d reject you.

 

Even if you might leave me, even if it’s just one more day together, Jiang Qingyue thought, just like before.

 

Ren Shuhan opened his mouth, but it took him a while to speak, his voice particularly hoarse. “How can you so foolish?”

 

He felt like he had become foolish too, gently kissing away the tears at the corner of Jiang Qingyue’s eyes, his own eyes becoming moist as well.

 

“I don’t know how to explain it to you, but I don’t want to hide it from you anymore,” Ren Shuhan held his shoulders, looking into his eyes and said, “But I’ll say it, you mustn’t laugh at me.”

 

Jiang Qingyue shook his head in confusion, his face still marked with tear stains.

 

“I have super powers,” Ren Shuhan spoke rapidly, as if trying to conceal his embarrassment, “I got them the day after I got drunk. Gu Weici has them too. During the period when I had amnesia, he was controlling me. But now I’m much stronger than him, so I’ve gradually been recovering.”

 

Jiang Qingyue’s expression didn’t change much, but his gaze was clearly vacant.

 

“It’s true, I know it sounds stupid. His superpower is to manipulate and make me fall in love with him…” Ah, this line is too embarrassing! Ren Shuhan didn’t want to continue and quickly changed the topic, “What do you want? Just tell me now, I’ll prove it to you immediately.”

 

He was most afraid of the sudden silence…

 

Jiang Qingyue thoughtfully mentioned something simple, “I want to drink some water.”

 

Ren Shuhan handed him the glass that he had just finished drinking from, still containing some water. Jiang Qingyue obediently took a sip and thanked him, “Thank you, Young Master.”

 

Ren Shuhan said, “…You have to believe me!”

 

I’m not crazy!

 

Helplessly, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. Outside the window behind him, fireworks suddenly bloomed, surprising the guests in the courtyard who exclaimed in delight.

 

It was twilight, and Ren Shuhan’s figure was silhouetted against the light, forming a golden outline amidst the fireworks. Jiang Qingyue was stunned.

 

“Thank you… Young Master, it’s beautiful,” he murmured, “I really like it.”

 

“Darling,” Ren Shuhan helplessly held his hand, facing him, and took a step back, bringing him forward two steps, “It wasn’t pre-arranged, it’s real.”

 

As they took the second step, the floor beneath their feet suddenly transformed into a soft beach.

 

In an instant, the two found themselves by the seaside at dusk, with fireworks bursting behind Ren Shuhan, blooming in the crowded and lively manner of Jiang Qingyue’s dreams.

 

“Now, do you believe it?” Ren Shuhan looked at him with gentle eyes that could squeeze out water, “Superpowers are real, and it’s true that I will forever love only you.”

 

Jiang Qingyue remained stunned for a long time, even as Ren Shuhan waved his hand in front of him, he didn’t react.

 

It was over, it won’t scare my baby, will it?

 

Why did I suddenly blurt it out like this? Normal people would be frightened, right! I’m not a normal person, how could I treat my baby as an abnormal person too? I was too careless… Ren Shuhan scolded himself inwardly, worriedly taking two steps toward the sea, wanting Jiang Qingyue to calm down on his own.

 

“Do you want to take a walk and feel it? These are not illusions, although it’s my first time using teleportation. But I’ve accepted this reality a long time ago. Are you scared….”

 

Before Ren Shuhan could finish his sentence, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t move because his baby was still gripping his clothes tightly.

 

And not long after, Jiang Qingyue regained some clarity, pulling at his clothes and pouncing on him, hugging him tightly.

 

“It’s great, Young Master…” Jiang Qingyue sobbed, burying his face in his chest and speaking loudly but unclearly, “All these years, I thought you had changed… but you’ve come back… I missed you so much!”

 

Ren Shuhan took a step back from the impact, but then he hugged him back, tears shimmering at the corners of his eyes.

 

His baby’s attention was not on the superpowers at all. He only cared that after uncovering the truth, the person he loved the most from his memories, his childhood sweetheart, had returned.

 

“Now, do you believe?” Ren Shuhan asked with a smile, “Want to make another wish?”

 

“Can I wish for anything?” Jiang Qingyue asked.

 

“Of course.”

 

“Can I make many wishes?”

 

“Any number is fine.”

 

Jiang Qingyue, tears streaming down his face, said: “I don’t like such a big house. It’s full of mosquitoes in the summer and too cold in the winter. I don’t like having so many workers around. I want it to be just the two of us. I don’t like you acting, and I don’t want so many people coveting you…”

 

Ren Shuhan felt a pang in his heart and nodded, saying, “Granted, all of it. Everything has been fulfilled now.”

 

He finally relaxed because he had finally found his Young Master. Everything would revolve around him, following his desires, forever loving the man he loved.

 

“I really missed you,” Jiang Qingyue nuzzled against him, sobbing, “You have no idea how much I missed you!”

 

But Ren Shuhan did understand.

 

It’s just that his frozen memories were slowly melting, and his longing for Jiang Qingyue had gradually been brought back over the past few months. His love was evenly dispersed into each day, so he wasn’t as excited as Jiang Qingyue was at the moment. Instead, his attention was focused on other matters…

 

The little beauty in his arms was so excited for the first time, crying and acting spoiled. As a result, his mind was now filled with lascivious thoughts.

 

Jiang Qingyue remained fearless, still straightforwardly expressing himself, “This is the real you! I’ve been waiting for you all along, and you’ve finally come back. This is the best gift you’ve given me. I love you so much.”

 

Unable to hold back any longer, Ren Shuhan held the back of his neck, kissing him deeply, and pulled him close, leaning backward.

 

The beach and the fireworks instantly disappeared as they tumbled onto a soft sofa.

 

A few minutes later, a knocking sound came from the door, urging the groom to come out quickly. Ren Shuhan released Jiang Qingyue, sat up, and straightened his clothes, smoothing out every crease with his fingers.

 

Ren Shuhan, upholding his perfectionist attitude, ran his hands over every inch of Jiang Qingyue’s body. In the end, the two of them had to calm down inside the room for a while.

 

“Let’s go,” Ren Shuhan held his hand, kissing the back of it, “We can take the oath now, with no reservations from me.”

 

Originally, he had planned to wait for some future day when they would be leisurely sitting in chairs, admiring the scenery, before revealing this secret. His baby might have thought he was joking. He would have embraced him, fulfilling countless wishes one by one.

 

This was the correct usage of the system in Ren Shuhan’s mind.

 

But now, this was fine too. Resolving the misunderstanding was the most important thing, and there was no need to hide this matter during the wedding vows.

 

Jiang Qingyue followed him outside, silently watching his back, and suddenly said, “Young Master, do you remember our first meeting?”

 

It had been such a long time that Ren Shuhan couldn’t recall it, but the system could help him remember.

 

“Let me think about it.”

 

Jiang Qingyue smiled, lowering his head. “I cried that day, and I looked ugly. My Young Master took care of me for a long time.”

 

The first time Ren Shuhan saw little Jiang Qingyue, his hair was a bit long, all messy, and his clothes were dirty. He was hiding in the small kitchen of the Jiang family to steal things.

 

“You’re surnamed Jiang. Doesn’t the Jiang family take care of you?” Little Ren Shuhan asked.

 

Jiang Qingyue shook his head.

 

Ren Shuhan reached out his hand to him. “Then come with me. I’ll take care of you from now on.”

 

Jiang Qingyue rubbed his dark little hand against his stomach, before extending it to him. Ren Shuhan held his hand and led him home.

 

The adults in the Ren family thought Ren Shuhan had picked up a little beggar, like picking up a little cat or dog, and didn’t pay much attention. They let Ren Shuhan bathe him, change his clothes, and comb his hair. After he was cleaned up and taken out for a look, they felt a sense of familiarity: Wasn’t this the little illegitimate child of the Jiang family?

 

“Why is his hair so long?”

 

“He’s covered in injuries…”

 

“We need to contact the Jiang family quickly.”

 

Little Jiang Qingyue secretly hid behind Ren Shuhan, gripping the hem of his clothes with one hand and tugging at his own hair with the other, looking downcast.

 

“Don’t be sad,” Ren Shuhan patted his head, took him to find a hairband, and tied his hair into a high ponytail, saying with satisfaction, “I think it looks good.”

 

“The first time I saw you, you bathed me and combed my hair. I always remembered that,” Jiang Qingyue smiled, “So, when you got drunk that night, I didn’t feel uncomfortable. Really, before I came back, I had heard about Gu Weici, and Wen Xin told me about your situation. I’ve gotten used to it over these years. I didn’t expect to be able to take care of you again and bathe you.”

 

“So, don’t feel bad for me,” Jiang Qingyue tiptoed and gently kissed him, “If I could make just one wish, I hope to keep you happy forever.”

 

Ren Shuhan squeezed his hand and remained silent.

 

His wish was to turn back time and make up for all the lost time. Unfortunately, that was the one thing the system couldn’t do. He could only cherish the present.

 

Under the arch made of flowers and trees, they made a vow to spend their lives together.

 

After the two grooms exchanged vows, the photo of their kiss quickly spread online. Along with the release of their movie and intimate behind-the-scenes footage, fans exclaimed about their divine relationship but also felt a great sense of regret…

 

“Ah, as soon as Ice God gets married, he retires from the entertainment industry to be a good man a take care of his family.”

 

“Childhood sweethearts, a long time love. He doesn’t want to work because he wants to accompany his wife. It’s hard not to support that.”

 

“This beautiful love story makes me feel bittersweet. I can’t imagine anyone else coming between them. What was Gu Weici thinking to try to ride on Ice God’s popularity? Is he stupid?”

 

“Who is Gu Weici? I don’t recognize him.”

 

“To be honest, Gu Weici has the talent for acting, singing, and good looks. If he didn’t engage in these weird things, he could have steadily climbed to the C or B list in a couple of years. But it’s proven that if your character is flawed, you just can’t make it no matter where you start. Ice God was kind enough to give him a hand, and this is how he repays him. No one else will dare to mentor him now.”

 

“Ah, this couple is so genuine. I don’t know what to say. I just wish my idol and his wife an early blessing of children, QAQ.”

 

……

 

More than ten years later, one day, when Ren Shuhan woke up, the room was filled with the smell of wine and mangoes.

 

He rarely drank because… right, because during the time he was influenced by the protagonist’s halo, he got drunk and said hurtful things to Jiang Qingyue.

 

Wait, where’s Qingyue? They went to bed early last night, so he shouldn’t be waking up this late. And wait, this isn’t their home; it’s… a sports equipment room?

 

Ren Shuhan propped himself up, his head spinning, and noticed a unfamiliar teenager curled up in the corner, wearing the same school uniform as himself, emitting a strong mango scent that gave him a headache.

 

“System prompt: Congratulations, host. The first book has been successfully published. Now detecting the presence of another system in the second world. It is recommended to immediately upgrade the firewall and load the latest patch to block the protagonist’s halo.”

 

Yes… Wait! Wait? You come out!

 

“System prompt: the AI functions are temporarily disabled during the upgrade and maintenance period. The host can browse the original book and the system store, and manually search for character settings and goods to buy.”

 

Ren Shuhan could only look at the face of this teenager and searched his information based on his face:

 

Song Xici, Omega, the protagonist and the biological son of the Song family’s couple. He was sent to the countryside and lived there for fourteen years before being brought back to the Song family recently…

 

Okay, Ren Shuhan took a brief look and stopped reading. So, he’s the love interest? Probably not Qingyue. For now, he should think of a way to save himself. Ren Shuhan felt his headache intensifying, as if he had taken some sort of aphrodisiac.

 

Fortunately, he had read quite a few fanfiction stories about himself and Jiang Qingyue, so he knew that “Omega” referred to the ABO world. He promptly searched for an “inhibitor” in the system store and obtained two bottles of spray.

 

Ren Shuhan sprayed a generous amount from the Alpha bottle into his mouth, feeling relieved. Then he tossed the Omega bottle next to Song Xici, pushed the door, only to find that the equipment room was locked from the outside. He had to kick it open and ran to the playground to breathe some fresh air. He manually searched for Jiang Qingyue’s name in the system, but to his surprise, it didn’t exist!

 

After that, Ren Shuhan panicked. He had lost his baby.

 

Meanwhile, lying in the sports equipment room, Song Xici was completely bewildered, and he angrily poked at his system: What the f*ck is going on?

 

The protagonist, the lead Gong, should have forgotten to bring the inhibitor!!!

 

 

 

Okay, first of all, I was FLOORED when he just went and spoke about the system/powers ???? And JQY didn’t even care lol??

Also, Ren Shuhan’s parents sure are weird… not even batting an eyelid when their son randomly brought a kid home…. No wonder they didn’t get invited to the wedding…tho I think it’s sad Ningning didn’t appear either. 

Anyways, there we go, we finished the entertainement arc and we’re now going with Omegaverse ! (ﾉ>ω
