I Do

**Regarding Cohabitation**

During military training, freshmen at S University were not permitted to live off-campus. Although Gui Yue greatly anticipated living with his Omega, he wouldn't go so far as to disregard the rules. He planned to dutifully stay in the dormitory for a while, waiting until military training concluded before looking for a house.

On the first day of school, the crowds of parents bringing their children to enroll were immense, encompassing all walks of life. Some Omegas in their rooms were surrounded by their entire families, with parents arranging their belongings. Some chatted with their parents while tidying up themselves. It was rare for an Omega to come to school alone.

The Finance Department of S University's School of Economics and Management was a top major, and its dormitory building was also the best constructed. Each room had four single bedrooms, accommodating four people, with a shared bathroom and toilet, much like a rented apartment.

Room 366, facing the sun, was Jiang You's residence during military training.

Gui Yue helped his Omega carry luggage upstairs.

Gui Yue's parents also came along. They knew it was the first day of school but Jiang You's parents couldn't make it, so they had discussed with Gui Yue about helping Jiang You settle in.

"An Omega's living space can't be haphazard," Gui Yue's mother shared her experience with Jiang You. "Later, we'll go to the supermarket to see what else is needed and get everything settled today."

Gui Yue carried the items, following behind his Omega, nodding in agreement: "Yes, we'll see what Jiang You still needs later."

Two people had already arrived in Room 366. When they entered, the two were chatting animatedly. Jiang You wasn't good at socializing with strangers, so he just nodded to them as a greeting.

The two Omegas nodded back, curiosity sparkling in their eyes.

Gui Yue was an Alpha; although he wanted to ask Jiang You's Omega roommates to look after him, it wasn't appropriate to say so now. He could only signal his mother to go and introduce herself.

Gui Yue and his father carried the items into the Omega's room.

Jiang You wiped the chairs clean for the two to rest, while he began arranging his bed and other belongings. Seeing this, Gui Yue also started helping with the tidying.

By the time Gui Yue's mother finished her inquiries and entered the room, Jiang You and the others had almost finished tidying up.

"Let's go, time to eat." Gui Yue's father waved his hand. He had found out about a popular family restaurant nearby and thought it would be a good chance to try it.

Gui Yue held his Omega's hand, sitting with him on one side of the dining table, facing Gui Yue's parents.

The restaurant was packed, but luckily they arrived early and only had to queue for a short while. Otherwise, they wouldn't know how long they'd have to wait for lunch.

In the afternoon, after tidying up Gui Yue's room, Gui Yue's parents took the two to the supermarket to buy daily necessities.

Gui Yue was in Finance Class 2 and had a class meeting that evening. After seeing Gui Yue's parents off in their car, Jiang You carried his belongings back to the dormitory.

In the dorm, three roommates were chatting in the living room. Jiang You smiled at them. When he placed his items in the bedroom and came out, the three looked at him curiously.

"My name is Su Yuan, from D Province." A round-faced Omega proactively introduced herself.

"That's Li Ting, and the smallest one is Zhang Hong Hong."

Su Yuan and Li Ting were the two Omegas Jiang You had seen when he first entered.

Jiang You hummed in acknowledgment and told them his name.

Su Yuan was a lively Omega. After holding it in all afternoon, she finally asked the person directly: "Is the Alpha who brought you today your brother? He's so handsome."

Jiang You glanced at Su Yuan, shook his head: "He's my boyfriend."

The three in the room were slightly stunned. They were able to pass the S University entrance exam not just because they were smart, but also because they studied diligently; dating was too distant a concept for them.

They hadn't expected their new roommate to already have a boyfriend.

Since they had just met and weren't close yet, the three didn't tease Jiang You. A few days later, when they became closer, they learned that Jiang You's boyfriend was a student in the adjacent Class 2. However, this matter was only known within the dorm and didn't spread outside.

As for Gui Yue having a girlfriend, and that girlfriend being Jiang You – the one dubbed the "aloof flower" in the neighboring class – this news spread from Gui Yue's dormitory.

Alpha dorms were much livelier than Omega ones, with all sorts of chatter, but Gui Yue usually didn't participate. Every day he was busy dating his Omega, and the rest of his time he focused on making money, having no energy to fool around with them.

After military training concluded, Gui Yue and Jiang You found a house off-campus. Since the landlord wanted to move abroad, they sold it cheaply. Gui Yue borrowed some money from his father to buy it upfront.

On moving day, Gui Yue invited both his dorm and the Omega dorm out for a meal.

Eight people boisterously headed to the restaurant.

The result was both dorms witnessing an overwhelming display of "dog food."

At the dining table, the Alpha barely paid attention to his own bowl of rice, only busy serving food to Jiang You, occasionally whispering something into his ear, chatting and laughing, looking incredibly happy.

Aside from being stuffed with "dog food," the gathering between the two dorms went smoothly. That evening, Gui Yue returned to his dorm to collect his belongings. His and Jiang You's things had been moved that afternoon, but a few items were still left. After tidying up, Gui Yue was about to leave when he saw Li Xing Feng from the opposite room sneaking over.

"What's wrong?" Gui Yue found it unsightly to see such a large Alpha acting so furtively.

Li Xing Feng stammered for a long time before Gui Yue finally understood. He liked the round-faced Omega in Jiang You's dorm.

He wanted to ask Jiang You for contact information to pursue his roommate.

Gui Yue wasn't sure if he would succeed, but he was looking forward to it. Li Xing Feng wasn't a bad person, very enthusiastic. However, Gui Yue couldn't be certain, only saying: "I'll go back and ask."

After encouraging the Alpha a few times, Gui Yue quietly went to find his Omega to go home.

When Gui Yue arrived at the Omega's dorm, Jiang You hadn't come down yet. He looked around and finally stood under a tree. This was the most secluded spot; passersby would hardly notice him if they weren't paying attention.

Gui Yue leaned against the tree, looking down at the hug-request emoji his Omega sent, the corners of his lips unconsciously curving upwards.

【JY: No rush, I'll wait for you.】

When Gui Yue sent the message, Jiang You was tidying up his books. Jiang Qi's belongings weren't many, all small items. Jiang You's own things were originally few, but if you included the books in the dorm, it became a lot.

Gui Yue waited for a long time, finally seeing his Omega emerge, carrying a large backpack.

"What are you carrying?" Gui Yue took the backpack.

"Books," Jiang You replied seriously.

Already in university and still working so hard?

Gui Yue deeply admired his Omega's studious spirit.

The house had three bedrooms and one living room. Gui Yue and his Omega slept separately, and the third room was converted by Gui Yue into a study for his Omega. If he had work, he would also handle it there.

Gui Yue placed Jiang You's schoolbag in the study. Seeing it was late, he ruffled Jiang You's hair: "It's late, go to bed, dear."

Jiang You looked up at Gui Yue, saying nothing.

Gui Yue paused, meeting Jiang You's gaze. He gently kissed the Omega's cheek: "A goodnight kiss."

Jiang You pursed his lips, hummed, then turned and went back to his room.

Gui Yue watched the Omega's retreating back, always feeling as if he was a little angry.

The Omega closed his door, slumped to the floor, covering his face with his hands. Through his fingers, his ears could be seen flushed red, his skin slightly warm. He was truly both embarrassed and annoyed.

【Jiang Qi: You can't do it, let me.】

And so, that night, Gui Yue, deep in sleep, suddenly felt a burning sensation on his back. Annoyed, he turned over, only to touch something soft.

Before he could react, Gui Yue squeezed it, and a soft moan seemed to echo in his ear.

His nasal cavity was filled with the Omega's sweet, refreshing scent, incredibly invigorating on a hot summer night.

Huh?

Gui Yue abruptly opened his eyes, seeing the Omega lying in his arms. He immediately sat up: "Jiang Qi?"

"Mm." The Omega nodded, completely unashamed.

"Why are you here?" Gui Yue turned on the bedside lamp, finding Jiang Qi so calm that he was utterly bewildered.

Jiang Qi looked up, moving closer to Gui Yue, the distance between them almost zero. His warm breath fanned Gui Yue's lips, his amber eyes unblinking as he stared directly at Gui Yue: "Brother Gui, I want you to mark me."

Gui Yue's entire body burned. He instinctively recoiled, fearing what he might do otherwise.

Jiang Qi noticed Gui Yue's intention. He directly wrapped his arms around Gui Yue's neck and kissed him, repeating again: "Brother Gui, mark me."

Gui Yue panted, trying to restrain himself as he looked at the Omega: "It's the first day, I didn't think..."

"I did." Jiang Qi gazed intently into Gui Yue's eyes, deep dark eyes concealing suppressed desire. Jiang Qi couldn't help but run a hand along the corner of Gui Yue's eye: "Brother Gui, I want you."

If he held back now, he wouldn't be an Alpha anymore!

Gui Yue's eyes darkened. He held the Omega's nape, forcefully kissing Jiang Qi's lips. Jiang Qi didn't back down, immersing himself in Gui Yue's kiss, his slender hands tracing from Gui Yue's cheek down his back, leaving a few suggestive wrinkles on his shirt.

The bedside lamp cast a soft glow, leaving red marks on the Omega's body. As the Omega's unrestrained gasps echoed, Gui Yue tilted his head, gently licking and kissing his nape to comfort him, his hand pressing into his waist...

The room was filled with warmth, thick pheromones enveloping them, tender and lingering. The night was still long...

The next morning, Jiang You was awakened by Gui Yue's kiss.

Opening his eyes groggily, Jiang You yawned, then lowered his head to rub his slightly sore waist, suddenly noticing the red marks on his body. After a moment, he realized his current situation, his face instantly flushing crimson.

Gui Yue said nothing, mischievously looking at his Omega. Just as he was about to tease him, he saw the red-faced Omega look up at him, then slowly burrow into his arms.

"I'm yours." Jiang You's voice carried a serious tone.

Gui Yue felt his heart melt. He hugged his Omega tightly: "You're mine, and I'm yours."

I need to put marriage on the agenda quickly, Gui Yue thought to himself.

**Regarding Friends**

Ever since the two marked each other, the atmosphere around them seemed unable to accommodate a third person.

X, as their matchmaker, had to endure a ton of "dog food" every time he came to report work to Jiang You, truly suffering.

Every time he finished work, X would go find Meng Si Zhe for a comforting hug, satisfyingly taking a little advantage before reverting to his mysterious, vibrant self.

Meng Si Zhe completely failed to realize X was using him. In his heart, X was still pining for Brother You, truly pitiful for a Beta who hadn't yet escaped the pain of a broken heart.

Of course, which Beta was more pitiful was up to interpretation.

When Meng Si Zhe was "caught" by X and carefully recalled past events, his mood was truly bittersweet and indescribable. How could he have been so blind?

Not only X found it unbearable, Lan Yun Jie and the others also felt a little uncomfortable with the clinginess of this couple.

Gu Bai Qing had gone to study abroad, leaving only Lan Yun Jie and Jiang He to endure this hardship.

Jiang He was shining in S University's Mathematics Department, trying to avoid seeing the couple at school. Even when they occasionally went out to eat together, he had to drag Lan Yun Jie along.

Otherwise, he feared his eyes would be poked out.

"Is Li Yue Hang still bothering you lately?" Gui Yue asked his cousin opposite him, while peeling shrimp for his Omega.

Although Lan Yun Jie studied at a neighboring university, he knew Jiang He's situation like the back of his hand. He snorted: "Li Yue Hang isn't bothering my Jiang He anymore, seems he knows his place."

Jiang He pursed his lips and smiled lightly. His bangs had been cut short when he entered university; although he still wore black-rimmed glasses, he no longer looked as gloomy as before. "I showed him I'm an Alpha, so he doesn't bother me anymore."

How he showed him, Jiang He didn't say.

Lan Yun Jie pouted, leaning close to Jiang He: "Little He, you have to be careful of Alphas, Omegas, and Betas with bad intentions, they're all wicked."

Gui Yue: ...

Seeing Lan Yun Jie's fear of Jiang He being snatched away by someone else, Gui Yue didn't know what to say: "Why don't you just take my Jiang He, then you won't have to worry about him being snatched."

Even though it was a joke, Gui Yue remembered that his cousin Jiang He was an Alpha. Even if Lan Yun Jie liked Jiang He, he would be the one marrying in!

Jiang You chuckled, looking at Lan Yun Jie, then at Jiang He.

The two opposite were stunned, seemingly never having been teased like that before.

Gui Yue only spoke in jest. After saying it, he immediately dismissed it from his mind, picking a boneless piece of fish for Jiang You: "The food's getting cold, eat up, this fish is delicious."

Jiang You hummed, obediently ate, then also served food to Gui Yue, looking very intimate.

The other two remained silent, only they knew what they were thinking.

Later, when Gui Yue learned that X and Meng Si Zhe were together, he sighed to Jiang You: "X really is the 'silent but deadly' type."

The next day, Gui Yue saw Jiang He and Lan Yun Jie hugging each other.

Gui Yue: ...

Is there a trend of getting out of singledom recently?

But in his heart, Gui Yue still breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Gui family didn't demand Jiang He's return now, Jiang He was still alone. With Lan Yun Jie looking after him, Gui Yue felt more at ease.

**Regarding the Future**

Graduation season was also separation season.

But for Gui Yue, graduation season meant he was about to get married!

The two had been in love since eleventh grade through university, from the school grounds to the wedding aisle.

While studying at university in S City, Gui Yue tried starting a company. Perhaps because he chose the right direction, his performance was excellent. The technology product developed in collaboration with Jiang You's company helped them both earn a significant amount of money, and then the company expanded to A City.

Although their two companies weren't yet on par with the Jiang family and Gui family, with Gui Yue's father's backing and guidance, they were strong enough to establish themselves in A City.

And confident enough to get married in A City.

Jiang You's parents originally didn't want Jiang You to be with Gui Yue, but seeing that Gui Yue also had some influence, they reluctantly accepted, agreeing to their marriage.

On the day of discussing the marriage, Jiang You spoke frankly with his parents for the first time.

"I'm sorry, Father, Mother, I have a psychological illness and can never become the obedient heir you wish for."

Jiang You's parents were stunned. It was the first time they saw Jiang You bristling with thorns, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.

"I will fulfill my duties and responsibilities, and I also hope you won't interfere too much in my life. After all, you both have your own families outside, and now I have my own partner."

Jiang You had grown up, no longer a child craving his parents' affection.

Jiang You's parents looked at each other in silence.

In truth, their only demand for Jiang You was to become a qualified heir. Regarding marriage, they could reluctantly accept it. As for what Jiang You had just said, they couldn't deny that it stirred something within them, but that was all. If he said no interference, then no interference it would be.

Jiang You finished speaking indifferently, not expecting any response from them, and walked straight out.

Outside the door, Gui Yue was looking at him anxiously.

Jiang You's eyes softened. He walked over and hugged Gui Yue.

"Shall we go home?" Gui Yue tenderly kissed his Omega.

"Mm."

"Tomorrow, let's go take wedding photos. You look beautiful in a white suit." Gui Yue held his Omega's hand.

Jiang You hummed, then hesitated for a moment before saying: "Jiang Qi said he wants to wear black."

"I've prepared a few sets, we can choose together then."

"Okay."

The two walked down the street, their long shadows intertwining intimately. Every gesture was filled with love for each other.

Night gradually fell, the golden streetlights shining on them, carrying an indescribable warmth.

"Do you agree to marry the Alpha beside you? To love and be faithful to him, in poverty or in wealth, in sickness or in health..."

"I do."

"Then, Alpha, do you agree to marry the Omega beside you? To love and be faithful to him, in poverty or in wealth, in sickness or in health..."

"I do."

A kiss sealed a lifelong vow. From here on, the road ahead was long, but they would always have each other.
