Su Yun’s birthday was at the end of the year. As it happened, the end of the year was always the busiest time, so Su Yun hadn’t mentioned it to Lu Yuan.
But on the morning of his birthday, Su Yun woke up to find a bouquet of fiery red roses waiting for him.
President Lu, dressed in a perfectly tailored dark gray suit and holding the flowers, rolled in on a brightly colored—
No, there was no rainbow cloud. Instead, President Lu rolled in on a gaudy rainbow-colored hoverboard, waving at Su Yun with a flashy grin: “Hi, wife!”
Lu Yuan: “Good morning, wife! Did you sleep well, my dear wife?”
He was so focused on waving that he didn’t notice the edge of the doorframe and nearly stumbled off the hoverboard.
Su Yun, startled, was suddenly wide awake.
As President Lu got closer, Su Yun couldn’t help but notice the “rainbow cloud.”
The hoverboard was decorated with some kind of strange doodles, presumably done by Lu Yuan himself. Su Yun stared at the odd shapes for a long time, unable to figure out what they were supposed to be. Was it supposed to be a cloud? He wasn’t sure, but at least it was colorful—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. He counted; there were exactly seven colors.
The alpha handed Su Yun the bouquet.
Lu Yuan: “Wife, guess how many flowers there are?”
Su Yun: “Hmm?”
Su Yun looked at the bouquet, puzzled. Roses… They should symbolize love, right? So the Omega hesitantly guessed: “Ninety-nine?”
President Lu gave him a look that said, *How could you think that?* Then he proudly announced: “Exactly one hundred!”
Su Yun: “One hundred?”
Lu Yuan: “Yes! Symbolizing a long and prosperous life!”
Lu Yuan: “But when I ordered the flowers yesterday, my partner suggested ninety-nine!”
President Lu wore a smug expression that clearly said, *My partner is so stingy, but not me. Wife, you should pay more attention to me,* as he boasted, “Luckily, I was quick to change it to one hundred!”
Lu Yuan: “Hehe, wife, may you have happiness as vast as the ocean and live as long as the mountains! May you celebrate this day every year and live as long as the heavens!”
Su Yun: ???
Lu Yuan: “Wife, aren’t you happy?”
Su Yun smiled, answering tactfully: “If I weren’t just turning twenty-five, I think I’d be happier.”
At noon, they had lunch with friends, and by evening, President Lu was mysteriously asking Su Yun to close his eyes, saying there was another surprise.
Since they were going out, Su Yun put on a down jacket. But just as he opened the door, Lu Yuan pulled him back and carefully wrapped a scarf around him. The closeness made Su Yun a little uncomfortable, so he asked quietly, “Are we going out for dinner? I don’t need anything fancy.”
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, his expression serious: “How can it be just anything?”
President Lu: “This isn’t just any birthday! It’s an annual birthday!”
Su Yun: ???
Su Yun asked in confusion: “But… isn’t everyone’s birthday annual?”
Lu Yuan thought about it and realized that was true.
But that wasn’t important.
He took Su Yun’s hand and led him forward.
The villa’s yard had been transformed. Blue and white balloons hung from the branches, and a string of warm yellow lights led to the center of the yard. There, two cartoonish snowmen stood. Though not perfectly made, anyone who looked closely could see that the snowmen bore a clear resemblance to Su Yun and Lu Yuan.
The two snowmen were holding hands, with one holding a heart in its free hand.
“Ta-da!”
President Lu led Su Yun to the snowmen, let go of his hand, and told him to open his eyes.
Su Yun looked at the snowmen, then back at Lu Yuan: “You made these?”
Lu Yuan: “Yup!”
Su Yun: “Weren’t you cold?”
Lu Yuan didn’t answer, instead casually showing his hand, which was still red from the cold: “I’m fine.”
Lu Yuan: “As long as you’re happy, wife!”
The next second, President Lu’s hand was taken by Su Yun, who couldn’t help but feel a little heartache. Su Yun used his warm palm to cover the alpha’s cold hand.
After warming it for a while, President Lu used his other hand to take the heart from the snowman and, under Su Yun’s puzzled gaze, placed the snow heart in Su Yun’s hand.
Su Yun’s palm was warm, and the snow began to melt. Water trickled through his fingers, revealing a ring that sparkled like starlight.
President Lu knelt on one knee, looked into Su Yun’s eyes, and asked earnestly: “Su Su, will you be my Omega?”
“Not the Lu family’s, not just by marriage, but truly mine—Lu Yuan’s.”
President Lu had hidden so many travel-sized toiletries and used up an entire pack of sticky notes, all in hopes that Su Yun would become more attached to him, that he wouldn’t leave, that he wouldn’t treat this as just an arranged marriage, that he wouldn’t be just a passerby.
For once, President Lu was serious. He said, “Su Su, I really like you.”
Su Yun’s fingers curled slightly, his heart pounding so fast and hard it felt like it might leap out of his chest. But in reality, this feeling wasn’t new—every time he was with Lu Yuan, he felt the same.
Su Yun’s lips moved, as if asking himself, “Like?”
But Lu Yuan gave him a definite answer: “Yes, like.”
Lu Yuan: “I like you.”
Not just an arranged marriage—it’s love.
Su Yun extended his hand, and the snow had already melted in his palm. But in such warmth, how could it not melt?
Su Yun looked up, and the carefully arranged lights in the yard looked like a field of stars. The starlight reflected in his eyes, and a warm yellow glow lit up his gaze.
Lu Yuan waited for Su Yun’s answer, and Su Yun saw the same warm yellow light in the alpha’s eyes, along with… determination and certainty.
So, the Omega clasped the ring in his hand.
“I will,” Su Yun said.
Su Yun added, “So it’s love, huh.”
