The author has something to say:
The girl who said she was borrowing was probably impulsive at the beginning. She later left a private apology, so this topic can be put to an end~
Thank you to the girls who’ve read both novels and provided clarification ~ I have not read that novel, and I was, in fact, a little worried about it, and I was afraid there would be a series of similarities. Since it wasn’t the case, then I can continue to write with peace of mind （＊︿▽︿＊）
.
It’s a new week. Please recommend this novel. o（＊////▽////＊）q
Thank you!
Cheng Jin was sound asleep and didn’t even wake up when Lu Tao helped him put on pajamas. He was very quiet in his sleep; even the sound of his breathing was very light. His thick eyelashes cast a small shadow and lips were still red, looking innocent and obedient.
Not at all like a person who would threaten a man to marry him.
Overly humble and always looking distressed, Lu Tao could guess that he was very cold to him in the past. Today, he went to grandmother’s place and spent a day with the old lady whom he had no memory of but felt close to. She did not mention much about the past, and he did not ask. In fact, he had decided at that time that if his grandmother were to bring up this topic, he would stop her.
Inexplicably, Lu Tao didn’t seem to be eager to learn about the past.
Now, however, he wanted to know.
What kind of past scared him like this?
Lu Tao opened his communicator, found Fei Li’s contact page, and sent a message. Soon he received his approximate itinerary in the past.

And the insects that fed on human blood and flesh were also evolving. In the recent decades, some insects evolved to have a human face and limbs and looked extremely scary. But because humans had advanced technology, insects had been suppressed. However, there was another enemy, the werewolves.
The werewolves lived in a galaxy not far from the human habitat. A long time ago, the two races were living on the same planet, and the werewolves regarded humans as “food” and used to brutally kill humans. The situation was somewhat alleviated when humans invented spacecrafts and migrated out of the original planet. But then the werewolves’ intelligence also began to evolve, and one time they captured a spacecraft invented by humans, and then began the second massacre of humans. That massacre was so tragic that many human beings died and the werewolves were badly hurt, so there was a deep hatred between the two races. At the time the werewolves stole a set of human genetic samples, and developed a drug to assimilate the human mind. When they attacked again, they knew to plant “pawns” among humans in advance.
Lu Tao earned his first promotion by playing a decisive role in a battle with the werewolves. He noticed that a certain officer had been assimilated by werewolves and had mutinied, so he immediately killed “him”, turning the tide of the battle and saving the lives of thousands of soldiers, thus being promoted to Major. Since then, his outstanding abilities had been revealed numerous times. He had thirty-four major and minor outstanding military services, and became an general at the age of twenty-seven. To date, he was the youngest general on the planet. The media also predicted that he would become the youngest general in the future.
After more than a hundred years of research, humans had finally forged a protective wall outside the planet that could effectively prevent the invasion of insects and werewolves. Soldiers who returned from interstellar patrol were also subject to close inspection. The reason why Lu Tao’s battleship had an accident last time might be due to a loophole, likely a man-made one.
Since Lu Tao had lost his memory, Fei Li only briefly mentioned these things; he said, “The military department is investigating this accident closely, and has identified the target. I believe that the spy will be captured soon.”
Lu Tao had no objection to this, as he realized that, based on the information gathered, humankind’s future enemies would no longer be the insects or the werewolves, but humankind itself.
The planets showed varying levels of wealth and environment, but the leadership on the Imperial Planet was still widening this gap, leading to a severe hidden danger for the future.
The itinerary Fei Li had put together was detailed, with everything written down from the time he started going to war to the time of his memory loss. And he probably knew what his boss had in mind, and listed time spent on the Imperial Planet separately.
Seven years, a total of less than twenty trips, his longest stay was less than a month, and during those twenty something days, he even spent twenty days in the military base training for a competition and only seven days as his spare time.
Five months and three days.
How much time was saved for his young wife?
Looking at this number, Lu Tao felt it cold and indifferent, then he suddenly had a thought.
Cheng Jin liked him this much? So much so that he did not file for divorce?
And how did his former self feel about him?
Lu Tao wasn’t sure, but he knew that unless his personality prior to memory loss was completely different, otherwise he wouldn’t maintain a romantic relationship with someone he couldn’t stand.
Not to mention Cheng Jin’s looks were in line with his taste.
The Lord General felt strange, as he tried to recall the Lu Tao before the memory loss but he couldn’t think of anything, as if it was a stranger. His eyes scanned the data back and forth, and finally landed on a certain event.
Imperial Planet, the year of 887, October 22nd, the General’s wife, Cheng Jin, applied for permission to accompany the army, and the senior management approved and sent a private plane to General Lu Tao’s operations office. 38 hours later, Cheng Jin returned on the private plane.
Lu Tao frowned as he stared at this message, he quickly compared the detailed itinerary sent by Fei Li and found that at this point in time, they were clearing the last wave of werewolves. At that time, the werewolves had infiltrated into the human population. They had been screening the population for half a month, and had isolated all the people to locate the spies, and had finally been able to dismiss the alarm. But Lu Tao checked his former self’s usual practice, and with his caution, he would have extended the search time. Because he felt that half a month was not enough to eliminate the danger completely.
So was it possible that the reason why he immediately sent his young wife back was because he was worried about his safety?
Because of the memory loss, even himself had no way of verifying his speculation for why he did what he did in the past.
He suddenly didn’t want to recover his memory.
Lu Tao wasn’t sure how his former self felt about Cheng Jin.
If he really hated him, then how would he explain his feelings now?
Cheng Jin couldn’t remember last night’s craziness after he woke up, and when his husband teased him, he could only blush and whisper, “I don’t even remember anything. You must be lying to me…”
Lu Tao pinched his cheek and deliberately said, “I really regret that I didn’t use the light screen to record what happened yesterday, otherwise you can’t pretend to not remember it!”
Cheng Jin looked at him shyly and timidly while murmuring, “Then record it next time…”
The Lord General raised his eyebrows. “So you want to see it, too?” He pinched his chin again, and said seriously, “Tell me the truth, you really don’t remember?”
Cheng Jin shook his head. “I really don’t remember.”
His expression was sincere, so Lu Tao was a bit annoyed and pressed further, “Where did you buy that kind of stuff? If someone else used it on you, wouldn’t you have been taken advantage of and not even aware of it?” He came closer, “Have you ever used it before?”
Cheng Jin panicked while shaking his head. “No, I-I forgot where I bought it. It may also be a giveaway from the seller.”
“You really have never used it before?”
Cheng Jin shook his head again, and blushed from embarrassment. “Even if I had used it, it would be with you. I-I have never made out with other men…but you….” Cheng Jin pursed his lips. The last two words were so light that they almost didn’t come out of Cheng Jin’s mouth, so Lu Tao did not hear it. While his husband said “you better”, Cheng Jin couldn’t help but think of Lu Tao’s scandals, and that he might have a lover on another planet, which made him feel like his heart was soaked in a jar of vinegar.
Lu Tao was particularly fond of pinching his cheeks, and even couldn’t help but kiss him a few times. After several kisses, he finally refrained himself from leaving teeth marks on it. He suddenly said, “Asher invited me to a party. Do you want to come along?”
Cheng Jin froze for a moment, and his heart twitched inexplicably. He looked at the handsome face up close, and even though they had become very close recently, he was still occasionally reminded of the coldness on Lu Tao’s face in the past. Cheng Jin said, “I’m not going.”
Lu Tao frowned, “You don’t even ask what kind of party it is before declining? And you’re so unwilling to accompany me?”
Cheng Jin was upset, but he tried not to show it. He said, “Your party must involve some athletic activities, and I’m not good at those. It’s not that I’m unwilling to go with you. It-It’s just that I still have work to finish, and I don’t have much time….”
“It is indeed an athletic activity. He asked me to go to the shooting range.” The Lord General felt bad. “You don’t have to work so hard. We can open a joint account. I’ve looked into this, and we can share the fortune once we sign the papers.”
“There‘s no need.” Cheng Jin was getting more panicky, and he shook head vigorously. “We don’t need to open an account. I can manage it for now. Aren’t you already paying for all of our living expenses? You shouldn’t be responsible for my father’s expenses. And he doesn’t need money for surgery now, only the money for medicine. My brother’s and my income are enough to pay for it.”
Lu Tao double checked. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure.” Cheng Jin responded seriously.
Lu Tao did not feel puzzled by this. In fact, on the Imperial Planet, not many couples would open joint bank accounts. After all, this required enough trust and the permission of both parties. It’s just that he didn’t expect Cheng Jin to have such strong self-esteem and pride given his meek looks.
He didn’t know that Cheng Jin couldn’t open up to him.
His family used despicable means to force Lu Tao to marry him back then, and in order to control him, Cheng Jin’s father strongly opposed him opening a joint account.
“Sweet child, he now seeks help from our family. Only if we make him depend on us will he listen to you and treat you well. If you open a joint account with him and he takes all your money and then divorces you, what else can you do to control him?”
Cheng Jin was persuaded by his father and felt he made a good point, and he didn’t raise the matter again.
However, Lu Tao actually never spent his money, nor did he ever want the Cheng family fortune. He relied on his own efforts and risked his life for a successful future, a future that did not need to depend on anyone else.
So when the Cheng family was in trouble, Cheng Jin couldn’t bear to ask him for help.
How could he ask him for help if he had once maliciously speculated about him?

Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
I’m glad it’s back! This story is an emotional indulgence. It’s so interesting that Lu Tao is now looking hard at his past and his feelings, but even he wishes he could stay ignorant to some degree so he doesn’t lose his current affection for Cheng Jin.
Thanks for uploading
