“Per…Permanent memory loss?” Bai Tang’s face revealed an unmistakable expression of surprise. He looked at Lin Baizhou with unwavering intensity.
Bai Tang’s gland reexamination was scheduled for today. Those accompanying patients were not permitted to enter the CT scan room. Lin Baizhou casually mentioned this to Bai Tang as he exited the CT machine.
Just as his feet were touching the ground, they suddenly stiffened. Bai Tang sat upright, as if he couldn’t understand what he just mentioned. He needed some time to think about everything. He leaned forward, hands on the table, gaze roving. He asked anxiously, “Really? You’re not lying?”
The omega’s beautiful face suddenly zoomed close before him. Lin Baizhou, a single alpha, was caught off guard. His body was faster than his mind. He leaned back, almost sliding off his chair.
“S-Sorry!” Bai Tang panicked, quickly stepped back, and waved his hands a little embarrassedly. “I didn’t mean to…!”
“….It’s okay.” Lin Baizhou moved his chair back and then expressed a little surprise with his poor acting skills. “You didn’t know?”
If Bai Tang wasn’t in such a state of shock, he would undoubtedly find Lin Baizhou’s made-up expression. But at this very moment, his mind was shaken by the heavy news. He felt a little numb. “Is permanent amnesia w-what I think it is? He’ll never remember the past, certainly, definitely will not remember. Is that what it means?”
“Yes.” The current Bai Tang looked entirely different from the docile look he had when they first met. Lin Baizhou had never heard him speak that fast before. “He’ll certainly, definitely not remember the past.”
Bai Tang took a few steps back, his heels pressed against the chair, and his back was ramrod straight.
Dead air surrounded the CT scan room. Bai Tang forced his overloaded brain to calm down. “Doctor, can you take responsibility for what you just said?”
“I can.” Lin Baizhou paused and then added, “Usually, the judgement of amnesia is the responsibility of a psychiatrist. It was your alpha’s result yesterday.”
Bai Tang already calmed down. His long life treading on thin ice made him sensitive and sharp. He felt something was strange and asked, “Why did you tell me, doctor?”

Doctors won’t lie, right? His reason also made sense. Bai Tang pursed his lips, and seemed to have been persuaded. “…Mhm. Thank you, doctor.”
Lin Baizhou, who was writing and drawing on the medical record, was relieved to hear that.
“You are aware that he was declared brain dead, right? Every hospital has very precise criteria for determining a brain death. There must be more than two senior professors who share the same viewpoint. It has to go through layers of steps and to suddenly recover…” Lin Baizhou prolonged the final thought. He seemed to be nonchalant, implying, “Science, I believe, cannot explain it. Something beyond rationality should have occurred.”
Bai Tang was unfamiliar with the hospital’s procedures. He had no idea the process of determining brain death was so meticulous. He, too, was perplexed. “Then… Then why did he suddenly get better?”
“No idea.” Lin Baizhou spoke boldly, “It’s impossible to explain scientifically. You are the closest person to him, Bai Tang. Maybe you can tell the difference between him before the amnesia and him now.”
Bai Tang murmured, “What the difference…is?”
There were too many differences. On the bright side, his sense of taste became very bland. He no longer liked to eat sweets, his expressions of disgust and arrogance never appeared again, and his gentle tone of speech was something he’d never heard before.
But apart from this, there were many details that Jiang Yunsu would never do even when Jiang Yunsu was in love with him.
Keeping a dog.
On their first day of cohabitation, Bai Tang nestled in Jiang Yunsu’s arms, and told him their beautiful future he envisioned, “We can have a pet! Dogs or cats. We can take it for a walk in the morning! How about we go together? Small animals are super cute…”
Before he could finish talking, Jiang Yunsu interrupted him with a smile, “Sorry baobei, I don’t like furry animals.”
“Eh?” Bai Tang visibly slumped down. “You don’t like it? Then I’ll raise a little hamster! I’ve also seen golden hamsters before! Silver gray is so cute!”
“Baobei,” Jiang Yunsu voiced out, “Even those staying in a small cage are very annoying. Doesn’t living together mean tolerating each other?”
“Hmph…” Bai Tang puffed out his and was a little disappointed, but the alpha didn’t like it so he stopped bringing it up. The alpha was more important. “Okay.”
And he also donated to Fengqi University.
Jiang Yunsu fully embodied an alpha’s pride and dignity from top to bottom. He scoffed at Fengqi in contempt, thinking that omegas were overestimating their abilities, and at the same time he couldn’t tolerate the slightest possibility of weak defiance.
Not long after they got their marriage certificate, before Jiang Yunsu revealed his true nature, Bai Tang was free to use gadgets. Once, he turned on the computer, clicked on the second largest social networking site, and found that Jiang Yunsu had not logged out of his account after the last time he used it.
Bai Tang’s account was friends with Jiang Yunsu. He would usually see the alpha sharing some scenery and moods, but not long after scrolling down, he suddenly saw a vote that only he could not see.
Do you support the abolition of Fengqi Omega Academy?
The number of people who supported it was 21,789, and the number of people who didn’t support it was 326.
Jiang Yunsu chose to support, and the date showed April 6, when Bai Tang had yet to graduate.

A lot of cars were passing by today. Somehow, he felt that he had to wait longer than usual at the traffic lights. Jiang Yunshu glanced at the unusually quiet Bai Tang from time to time through the rearview mirror of the car, feeling somewhat depressed.
It was quite the misfortune. It was one red light over another. At the fifth red light in a row, Jiang Yunshu stroked the steering wheel and opened up, “Hey, what’s wrong?”
Bai Tang’s soul was wandering in the sky. The frightened omega suddenly returned to his body.
“Sorry,” Jiang Yunshu stepped on the accelerator and the car slowly moved forward. “Did something happen in the hospital?”
Bai Tang slightly raised his eyes. His gaze moved from his shoes to the wide road. He clenched his fists and asked the alpha, “Sir, do you…have permanent memory loss?”
The car was a cramped, constricted space. The proximity between the driver’s seat and the co-pilot was too close for comfort, especially when a person was with someone one was terrified of.
That’s why, for the past two months, whenever he was in the car, Bai Tang would shrink himself to the farthest side, his body taut so that he could adopt a position that could protect himself at any time. And he never raised his head or neck, let alone looked directly at Jiang Yunshu.
And the way he addressed him changed from a polite you to a casual you. This was Bai Tang’s test, but the alpha seemed indifferent. He mustered up his courage and turned his head to look at the alpha’s side face. “Is it true?”
Another red light. Jiang Yunshu also turned his head, and the two stared at each other. He saw Bai Tang’s pupils trembling violently, and knew that the omega was afraid. “It’s true, I went to the psychiatrist for a test. The results proving it is at home, I’ll show it to you when we go back.”
Bai Tang couldn’t take it any longer and lowered his neck. It was as though the drowning man had recovered consciousness and exhaled a few gasps of air. He had pinched the back of his hand deep vermillion, and half of his body was already numb. In just a few seconds of staring at the alpha, his brain made an explosion-like warning sound, and he was almost afraid enough to scream and flee.
It turned out…that he was already afraid of Jiang Yunsu to such an extent?
Jiang Yunshu observed that Bai Tang’s fingers that rested on his knees were trembling erratically. In silence, he turned around and turned up the car’s temperature by one degree.

Been a bit busy lately, but I will still update!
Every time I see a bunch of messages like “Waiting for an update”, “Is there an update today”, “hungry for food”, I… feel guilty (bowing, sliding and kneeling to apologise)
thank you for the translation!!
Thank you for the update!
Oh sweetie! You can keep us hungry. We are happy that you give us when you give. Nothing is worse than tl who is burnt out. So keep yourself healthy and happy. We or at least most of us can wait 😘
Though heads up is nice if you wanna take a break or change schedule
Don’t feel guilty. We’re just being a whiny kids.
That meme though… lol.. thanks for the chapter!
Thank You for the new chapter (•‾⌣‾•)و ̑̑♡
It should be good news for Bai Tang but it’s still something new he has to take in. I wonder if it would help if Jiang Yunshu wore a wig, funny glasses and a fake mustache for a while 😆. He probably wouldn’t look like Jiang Yunsu so much once his personality has more time to reflect in his face, so he just needs it out of sight for a bit lol.
You’ve spoiled us with the regular release of these chapters 😌.
And may we never see the og scum again. BT, it’ll be a long road, but your new hubby will walk it with you. <3
”doctors won’t lie”: some most certainly do. Last week, I was almost harrassed by one who told me that their employer wanted to do a certain check up (that went ahead of my boundaries of privacy by a mile), and that he would get in trouble with his employers if he didn’t do it. I was in contact with his employer, and they let me know that they had never given him any instructions to do the check up
Thanks for the translation ❤️
