01
Mei Yisi is an omega. He got married yesterday.
He and the partner arranged by his family went to get a marriage certificate, then came back from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
His mom asked him about the plans for the wedding ceremony later.
He said, ‘What’s the point? I can’t be bothered.’
His mom asked where they would live after getting married.
He said it doesn’t matter, it’s the same everywhere.
His mom asked how his new husband was and why they didn’t come home together.
He said he’s just a human being, and couldn’t make it back because he was busy with something.
His mom got so angry that she scolded him. After making a call to her new son-in-law, she told him to go out and pick up his husband who was working overtime.
He went out looking listless, stood at the bus stop near the house, and waited.
After waiting for quite a while, several buses came, and Mei Yisi looked at the crowd getting off, feeling a bit confused.
What does his husband look like again?
He forgot.
02
Mei Yisi simply didn’t move, waiting for his new husband to come find him.
Just as expected, his husband, upon seeing him, walked over in his direction, even waving to him.
Mei Yisi glanced at his husband a few times.
Just like the people around him, he had two eyes and a nose—nothing special.
His husband came over and took his hand, saying, ‘Thank you for taking the trouble of waiting so long.’
He um-ed.
His husband asked him what’s wrong.
He said ‘nothing’ and kept silent.
What’s there to say? The more you talk about things, the less you actually say.
Boring.
03
He didn’t speak, but his husband vividly described the day’s happenings at the workplace.
His husband seemed to be an office worker; anyway, he went to the office.
What’s there to say about things at work? It’s either this company’s affairs or that company’s affairs, but no matter what, it’s none of my goddamn business.
Mei Yisi found it uninteresting, so he continued to remain silent.
[After dinner today, I’ll help you move. If you don’t say anything, it means you agree!]
[Huh?]
What did I agree to?
Mei Yisi snapped back to reality, looked at his husband who was beaming with joy, thought for a moment, and then shut his mouth.
Forget it, whatever. I can’t be bothered to talk, boring.
04
His mother enthusiastically greeted her son-in-law, bustling around and making arrangements. Mei Yisi grabbed a plate of melon seeds and started munching.
His mother scolded him for being a lazybum. Now that he’s married, how could he still behave this badly?
Mei Yisi snorted.
It’s not like he was the one dying to get married. At worst, they’ll just get a divorce. Anyway, it’ll become more and more annoying as time goes by. Sooner or later, they’ll get a divorce, so might as well end it sooner.
So as to avoid wasting feelings.
Contraraily, his husband was protective of him, saying that he need not do housework in the future as he could take care of it himself.
Mei Yisi snorted again.
Anyone can say nice words. What’s the point?
He didn’t care to be coaxed by anyone.
[I’ll go help Mom.]
His husband was very proactive.
Mei Yisi slowly blinked.

[Yisi, why don’t you come and help? Don’t let Xiao Gu do all the work alone.]
[It’s okay, Dad. I don’t have much to do here. Just let Xiao Si rest.]

He didn’t want to get involved. It was all just insincere courtesy.
06
Mei Yisi’s marriage was too hasty; from getting to know his husband to obtaining the marriage certificate, it was all done in less than a month. His parents also realized this and began to inquire carefully about the situation of their son-in-law’s family during dinner today.
[Yisi is our only child. In the future, everything we have will belong to him. The house you are currently living in, is the property deed in your family…]
His husband responded quickly.
[It’s our marital home, I’ll take Yisi to the notarization office next week to add his name.]
Mei Yisi’s parents nodded in relief.
Mei Yisi lifted his head from his dinner bowl, raising an eyebrow as he looked at his happy, clueless parents.
What’s the use of just adding a name? Who paid for this house? Has the loan been paid off? Is the interior decoration done?
If it was his husband’s parents’ money, when they divorce, he could just throw an IOU at him. Not only will he lose his share of the house but also end up with debts.
You don’t understand a damn thing, so you’re foolishly laughing here.
[What’s wrong, Xiao Si?]
His husband noticed him looking up and asked with concern.
[Nothing.]
He didn’t feel like talking.
07
In the evening, they moved to their new home. Although it was called moving house, Mei Yisi didn’t actually bring much with him, just dragging a suitcase.
His husband said that the things he took along were few so he should buy whatever he needed later. He didn’t say anything. Anyway, dragging a suitcase like this was easy, and it’ll also be convenient to drag it back in the future.
His husband didn’t drive, and Mei Yisi didn’t care to inquire whether his husband had a car or not. Anyway, they just took a taxi and hit the road.
Their new home was in a new neighborhood, with well-developed transportation around, clearly a prime location.
His husband led him into the house and gave him the keys.
[It’s been renovated before and everything has been tidied up. Take a look and let me know if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with. We can make changes.]
It was indeed decorated very thoughtfully.
Mei Yisi took a stroll around, noticing even sweet-scented bath gel specially made for omegas.
What a shame he wasn’t at all fond of these overly sweet and bubbly shower gels.
The new house was adorned with soft fabrics everywhere, the type that was most favored by omegas in the market.
But for Mei Yisi.
It was all the same.
[What do you think? We’ll change anything you don’t like.]
Mei Yisi blinked at the extremely ugly arrow-through-heart cross-stitch hanging on the living room wall.
Forget it, not worth overthinking.
[No need to change anything.]
Just make do living here temporarily until the divorce; he had no intention of redecorating. After all, who would foot the bill for it?
He didn’t want to bother himself.
08
The newlyweds were going to sleep.
However, Mei Yisi and his husband were not very familiar with each other.
He didn’t actually care whether they slept together or not. Anyway, it’s just that. He can sleep if he wants, and if he doesn’t, that is fine too.
Mei Yisi had zero experience, but was very broad-minded. After finishing his bath, he simply got into bed.
After his husband got ready, he entered the bedroom. Mei Yisi looked at him a few times and finally took the trouble to say a few words.
[As long as we don’t have children, you can do anything.]
His husband was stunned, looked at him and smiled, then smoothly slid under the covers.
[As you wish. Let’s enjoy each other’s company.]
Mei Yisi had no expression on his face as he was embraced by the alpha.
Being alone actually didn’t matter, but having a child would complicate getting divorced.
Tormenting himself was too tiring. No thanks.
09
A few days later, Mei Yisi went with his husband to meet his in-laws.
His husband’s mother, a slender omega, looked at Yisi with a somewhat strange expression.
With a kind of scrutiny and reluctance, there was also an air of helplessness.
Mei Yisi offered his mother-in-law tea, silent like her.
[Anyway, now that you’re married, have a good life together.]
Mei Yisi observed the hesitation in his mother-in-law’s eyes, and nodded slowly.
Maybe there were many stories about the past between this family and his husband, but what did this have to do with him?
If they could get along, then great. If not, just part ways.
Mei Yisi remained calm.
However, it seemed that his husband didn’t want his mother to spend too much time with his new wife.
He came over and informed them the meal was ready.
[When are you planning to have a baby?]
Hearing his mother-in-law ask, Mei Yisi glanced at his husband.
His husband said.
[We just got married; no rush.]
[You’re not young anymore. Now that you’re married, don’t delay having a child. In a few years, as you get older, the more difficult it’ll be due to health.] His mother turned to Mei Yisi and said, [Xiao Mei, you have to take care of him in the future.]
[I can’t take care of him.]
Mei Yisi opened his mouth.
[I’m not his mother.]
10
Mei Yisi watched his mother-in-law, whose face alternated between pale and red. She barely held back from scolding him to maintain a semblance of dignity, and just pursed her lips.
Why bother? Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been enemies. Inevitably there will be a day they tear into each other. It makes little difference if they tear early or tear late.
[I’m such a grownup, I can take care of myself. You don’t need to worry about me.]
His husband tried to smooth things over again.
Mei Yisi found that his husband was awfully fond of trying to smooth things over. He tried to smooth things over at his home and also tried to smooth things over when he came to his own home, just like a plasterer.
[Xiao Si, come let’s go to the dining room for dinner.]
At the dinner table, only Mei Yisi’s husband was making an effort to liven up the atmosphere. Mei Yisi couldn’t be bothered to listen to what he was saying; he just mechanically picked up and ate the dishes, one after another.
He wasn’t a picky eater; everything he put in his mouth seemed the same to him. Anyway, it was just a mechanical movement to prevent starvation, nothing else.
If he had to choose, he would definitely prefer various kinds of porridges that he could swallow directly, saving him some trouble.
He only ate the green vegetables dish in front of him and didn’t touch anything else.
His husband thought he might be upset after the exchange with his mother and was now reserved, so he personally served him some meat dishes.
[You gave all the shrimp to your wife; what are you going to eat?]
His mother expressed dissatisfaction.
Mei Yisi pushed all the shrimps in his bowl to his husband.
[For you.]
He was not interested in eating something so troublesome to peel.
Whoever likes it can have it.
11
In fact, many times, if you set your mind not to care about the relationship with your mother-in-law, you will be very relaxed.
Mei Yisi was just like that.
He and his husband’s mother were two strangers, forcibly brought together because of his husband. What kind of meaningful connection could they develop in a day or two? Mei Yisi found it boring to pretend, so he never engaged with his mother-in-law’s conversations. Instead, they got along bizarrely.
However, his husband was quite exhausted.
On one hand, he spoke highly of his mother in front of Mei Yisi, and on the other hand, he tried desperately to make up for Mei Yisi in front of his mother.
So, that night, the two of them went to their bedroom, and his husband took out a large gold chain claiming it was a family heirloom from his mother to her daughter-in-law.
Mei Yisi poured a glass of water for the other party.
For once, he tried to persuade.
[There is no need to pretend in front of me that your mother thinks highly of me.] Mei Yisi was calm as ever, [I know exactly what kind of person I am, and I’m even more clear how others perceive me.]
[Xiao Si, you are actually really good…]
Mei Yisi showed no emotion. He had no interest in hearing such flattering words. As if he wanted to be a so-called good person! He only cared about his own comfort. He was the most selfish omega in the world.
Whether others liked him or hated him, it made no difference to Mei Yisi; they were all equally boring.
Just like his husband, regardless of like or dislike, was desperate to marry an omega like him in the end.
Mei Yisi thought about the soft and delicate decorations in their new home, along with that childish cross-stitch.
See, so what even if you truly love each other? You still have to break up eventually.
12
Mei Yisi accepted the gold chain. After all, his husband’s money was essentially his own.
Perhaps his mother-in-law couldn’t bear to see him too much, so they stayed for three days and then returned home.
[Don’t worry, we won’t be spending much time with my mom. The most important thing is for us to live a good life together.]
Mei Yisi lifted his eyes and glanced at him but didn’t say anything.
But his husband gently touched his temples, appearing considerate.
[From now on, our small family is the top priority, and I will protect you unconditionally.]
[Why?]
Mei Yisi asked.
[Because you’re my omega, the person I want to be with for life.]
[That’s not certain.] Mei Yisi cocked an eyebrow, showing a rare curiosity. [Have you ever loved someone before?]
[I…] His husband got stuck, then recovered. [Of course, I love you.]
Mei Yisi smiled.
His husband was really a bullshitting expert, very skillful in telling lies.
Mei Yisi responded with a wooden face.
[Actually, you can ask for a divorce anytime, anywhere. I don’t mind.]
There’s really no point in pretending.
13
Mei Yisi felt that he might have done bad things to the max in his previous life, which was why he ended up like this in this life.
All the people and things in the world were boring to him.
There was one thing he had never mentioned to anyone.
He could see into everyone’s heart.
When his mother scolded him for messing up the room, it was actually just because she had a tough time at work.
The reason why the teacher targeted him in class was simply because he did not attend the cram school run by the teacher.
The classmates around Mei Yisi, in their interactions, either saw an opportunity to take advantage of him or wanted to showcase their own beauty and kindness by stepping on him.
Even if someone is sincere to him today, there will always come a day when they change their mind.
People, after all, are the most fickle beings.
As he grew up to be unsociable, his parents began to repeatedly express concern about his marriage and having children.
[You can’t be alone forever, especially as an omega. In the end, you need someone to rely on.]
(You can’t expect us to support you for a lifetime. What sin did I commit to give birth to a child like this who is cooped up at home being moody all the time?)
So Mei Yisi went on blind dates.
He met his husband, who was caring, gentle, generous, and kind.
[Xiao Si, will you marry me?]
(Anyway, let’s get married first. This omega seems pretty quiet, not too scheming. I can get by if I make do.)
[Yes.]
Mei Yisi looked at his husband and blinked.
People are all the same, boring.
Hilarious
