Like an elderly person who just got a new phone, Bo Ge hadn’t fully mastered the use of the Light Brain. When he saw a red dot indicating a new message in the Light Brain information reception area, Bo Ge tapped it, and a new notification automatically popped up.
“Dear Alliance Citizen:
Congratulations on your successful match. After the screening of the marriage matching system, the assigned results are as follows.
Matched Partner: Lie Beishuang
Gender: Male
Race: Beastman (?)
Age: 36
Occupation: ***
Income: ***
Personality: ***
Compatibility: 99.9%
Light Brain ID: 0037
Please contact your matched partner as soon as possible to start the three-month adaptation period. If the adaptation fails, after three months, you can apply for dissolution and be reassigned.”
Partner?
Originally thought it was just some subsidy, Bo Ge was a bit dumbfounded.
In just one day, he not only got an apartment but also a partner.
The orange cat had mentioned that humans usually matched with beastmen. Bo Ge had mentally prepared himself, but the one he matched with… was there a gender issue?
As for the age, when Bo Ge passed away in his previous life, he had just entered the university he liked a few months ago, only being an adult for a few months. Adding up the ages of the two lifetimes, it was roughly the same as this beastman.
And the other conditions…
Bo Ge stared at the three asterisks in deep thought.
In his previous life, the elders used to jokingly ask the young Bo Ge about his requirements for a future partner when he was in the third grade of elementary school. Bo Ge answered seriously, “Female and human.”
This answer made the elders laugh for a long time, and they would bring it up on festive occasions. Now looking back, Bo Ge realized that his requirements back then were indeed too high!
Reading the notice again, Bo Ge found a question mark next to the beastman. He clicked on it, and inside was a detailed description.
“Mammalian placental suborder, carnivorous order, felidae family, pantherinae subfamily.”
Bo Ge’s eyes lit up, and his heart thumped. Pantherinae subfamily? Was it a big leopard?
Big leopard!
Who among the cat lovers didn’t have the grand aspiration of having a big cat!?
In his previous life, Bo Ge had watched many videos of big cats. Among lions, tigers, and leopards, Bo Ge especially liked big leopards!
Not to mention the leopard’s well-proportioned and smooth body, superlative agility; what Bo Ge loved the most were the two black tear lines on both sides of a leopard’s face, a divine gift that added a touch of beauty to big cats.
Bo Ge had also heard that leopards were a kind of aloof and dignified animal, very dignified. They only ate prey they caught themselves and never stole or robbed; they only ate fresh meat, not even eating carrion if starving.
Such a beautiful and elegant big cat that lived by its legs and didn’t like to cause trouble, it truly hit Bo Ge’s soft spot.
Bo Ge was somewhat excited. Even if this big cat had no job, no income, as long as it allowed him to pet it, Bo Ge was willing to be its owner and raise it, petting other fluffy things while raising it!
Excited, Bo Ge quickly logged out, got up in the sleep pod, took off his helmet, joyfully went to the washroom, washed his face, and eagerly prepared to contact the big leopard.

“Chief’s office, a golden floating ball emitted a crisp sound as it flew towards the man engrossed in signing documents.
“You have a new notification from the Marriage Matching System.”
The man’s fingertips paused on the perception board, and Lie Beishuang raised his head, his gaze indifferent.
“It’s not a plea for mercy.” The floating ball quickly stopped in front of Lie Beishuang, projecting the notification content.
“Dear Alliance Citizen,
Congratulations on a successful match. After the screening by the Marriage Matching System, the allocation results are as follows:
Matched Partner: Bo Ge
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 18
Occupation: None
Income: 300 credits/month (Alliance Rare Species Subsidy)
Personality: Cheerful
Compatibility: 99.9%
Light Brain ID: 1277
Please contact your matched partner as soon as possible and begin a three-month adjustment period. If the adjustment fails, you can apply for dissolution and reallocation after three months.”
“Read and delete.” Faced with the notification that arrived after eighteen years of waiting, a decision already made but now resurfaced, Lie Beishuang remained calm as water, his golden eyes showing no ripples.
The golden floating ball reluctantly retracted the notification. “Give it some more thought. You’ve waited for so many years, and now there’s finally a result. Look at how high the compatibility is with this kid, 99.9%, one in a million odds!”
“I don’t want to repeat myself.” Lie Beishuang lowered his gaze, continuing the unfinished task.
The golden floating ball couldn’t bear it and deleted the notification. The entire ball seemed to lose its momentum, sadly falling on the desk.
As the wand controlling all intelligence in the Alliance, possessing the most advanced emotional system, it could even empathize with its owner. It had witnessed the youngest chief of the Alliance and also witnessed his misfortune.
Just last month, after bringing a full moon gift for his nephew’s twin cubs, he returned to see the man, already in the grandfather’s generation, sitting alone on the cold terrace, silently gazing at the blue moon, lonely to an unbearable extent.
Lie Beishuang hadn’t participated in such family activities for a long time. When everyone had someone to accompany them, he didn’t need pity from others.
Like a lonely primal leopard, day after day, patrolling his territory, running, hunting, solitary and alone, year after year, repeating a life without any surprises until the end of his life.
The wand rolled on the table, and the atmosphere in the office, nearly frozen, felt so heavy that even Lie Beishuang felt uncomfortable.
“Buzzing.” The small ball vibrated on the table, and Lie Beishuang skimmed through the previous document, his brow slightly furrowed.
“Buzz, buzz.” The ball uncontrollably bounced on the table. The next second, the man slowly raised his eyes, eyes like burning liquid gold. With the contact point on the perception board as the center, a spiderweb-like crack spread, and the long-suppressed beastly nature was about to burst forth.
“Not me, it’s ID1277!” The wand quickly brought up a page. “1277 requests a call!”
Lie Beishuang remained silent for a moment. In that instant, he wanted to see, to see what kind of human it was that required eighteen years of waiting, who fearlessly appeared when he was in despair.
Just a thought, and the wand had already connected the video call.
Bo Ge didn’t know what he accidentally touched. He intended to send a message, but instead, a 3D projection opened. The other side quickly answered, revealing the appearance of a man.
As the projection became clearer, Bo Ge’s eyes gradually lit up.
The man sat straight at the desk, exuding an air of stern nobility. His eyebrows, like swords, swept into his temples. His nose was high, and thin lips had a slightly sharp contour.
What shocked Bo Ge the most was the man’s golden eyes, dazzling and dazzling, as if they could burn together with the sunlight, never extinguishing.
“Uncle, hello.” Bo Ge was stunned by this splendid beauty, taking a while to recover, and his thoughts of wanting to raise a big cat became even more active.
Lie Beishuang had never seen a human like this.
Like a small white flower, fair and translucent, seemingly very fragile, yet possessing astonishing vitality. No matter what difficulties came, it couldn’t make him lose hope. Forever facing towards the sunlight, sincere and enthusiastic.
Bo Ge sat at the desk, one hand supporting his chin, his eyes shining like there were stars inside. “Uncle, I heard that your original form is a leopard. Can you transform?”
Lie Beishuang’s attention was swiftly brought back by the young man. He saw the somewhat slender neck of the youth in the projection and inadvertently revealed a small but beautiful collarbone.
Something long accumulated in his heart instantly erupted, and Lie Beishuang uncontrollably exposed his tail.
Fluffy and very long.
Bo Ge saw something fluffy. It flashed behind the man, but upon closer inspection, it was gone. He could only rub his eyes in confusion.
“Uncle?” Bo Ge said several sentences, but the man remained silent, and his expression remained as cold as ever.
Bo Ge felt a bit sad. It seemed that the big cat didn’t like him.
Well, a big cat that looked so good, there must be many people who liked him. Or perhaps… did he already have someone he liked?
“Uncle…” Bo Ge unwillingly tried, “Do you prefer matched marriage or free love?”
Lie Beishuang, one hand tightly holding down his tail, tried to maintain a calm expression. “The latter.”
The voice of the big cat was low and pleasant, but the answer he gave made Bo Ge a little disheartened.
He didn’t like matched marriage, which subtly implied that he didn’t like the self that was matched to him.
Gugu was rejected, but Gugu’s pride wouldn’t allow him to show his sadness.
Bo Ge bravely raised a smile. “I also like free love. I read a book before, ‘Marriage and Freedom,’ it’s written really well.”
Lie Beishuang’s eyelids twitched, sensing an ominous premonition.
“I just came of age and haven’t had a relationship yet. I also want to experience free love. Since the marriage matching system is going to be abolished, we can apply for dissolution after three months.”
Lie Beishuang stared at the young man in shock, and his heart seemed to be ruthlessly dug out of a piece.
“Uncle, goodbye.” Bo Ge confidently pressed the end button. After the projection disappeared, Gugu’s courage, once high-spirited, was instantly drained. He slumped over the desk, brows pressed low in disappointment.
“Young master?” Xiao Du walked over with concern. “Are you okay?”
“Not good.” Bo Ge puffed his cheeks. “The big cat the Alliance matched me with doesn’t like me.”
“Then he’s truly a beastman without vision.” Xiao Du gently patted the young man’s back. “The majority of beastmen go their whole lives without being matched with rare humans. If the marriage matching system is completely abolished, there will be many, many beastmen who like the young master, waiting for the young master to choose.”
Bo Ge thought seriously for a moment. “Yeah, there must be more than one leopard here. There will always be a leopard that I like, and he likes me too!”
“Yes.” Xiao Du nodded, displaying an emoji with heart eyes and drooling. “Xiao Du really likes the young master a lot.”
Bo Ge looked at the comical expression on the screen and couldn’t help but smile, turning around to tightly hug Xiao Du.
“Xiao Du, help me search for something.” Bo Ge’s eyes ignited with determination. “How to win over a leopard that likes humans. I will use my extraordinary skills to conquer the big cat I have my eyes on!”
“Okay.” Xiao Du displayed hundreds of results on the screen. Bo Ge opened the light brain, found a notepad, and began to earnestly study the techniques for winning over a big cat.
In the chief’s office, the man stared motionless at the final projection of the young man. Slowly, a pair of rounded, fluffy black leopard ears emerged from the top of his head.
