"Ah...marriage. Wish you happiness..." Felix said for instinct. But then his brain caught up with Henry's words and finally reacted.
"Huh!? M-marriage? With whom? When?" They only met Smiley some weeks ago, when did those two become so familiar with each other? Fang Yu was also surprised, but he was more calm than the ear rabbit boy. After all, as an Alpha, he understood when another Alpha is chasing an Omega.
"With Smile... I mean, Chester, I guessed. He made his proposal one day after Fang Yu was sent unconscious."
"But you only have him for what? A month? You can marry a man you just met!"
"Actually..."
The story goes like this. It happens that Smiley and Henry had already met four years ago. Back then, Henry's father was still alive. One day, Henry and his father were coming back from a trip when they encountered a younger version of Smiley.
The mischievous cat was only a teenager back then, his clothes were ripped and torn. No one would have thought that the boy came from a noble family. Henry's father was known for being kind-hearted, so he stopped his trip and asked the teenager if he needed any help.
The youngster explained that he was on a journey with his parents when some bandits attacked them and got separated, as a result he got lost in the woods. Then, Henry's father invited him back to Turtle Village and offered that he could stay in his house until his parents went looking for him.
The twelve-year-old Henry was very curious about the new big brother. But as he was from the hamster race, he was a little scared of the blue cat.
During his stay, Smiley and Henry became good friends. It was nice to have a playmate since his parents (Henry's) were always busy with the shop.
One morning, Smiley was eating on the grass on a hill of the first with little Henry. Looking at the tiny, cute hamster, the mischievous cat couldn't help but teased.
"Little thing, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
The young Henry stood up, crossed his tiny arms, put out his chest and said proudly "I'm going to be a big boss! I'm going to be in charge of daddy's shop!"
"Oh? But you're so tiny, how can you be a big boss?"
"I'm going to grow!" Said tiny Henry angrily. His hamster checks that still had some cake were puffing. Very cute.
"Really? You know I am already a big boss."
"You are?!" The tiny mind of the hamster quickly left the topic of his height and became interested in Big Brother's backstory.
"Of course''." Putting a cunning smile, Smiley came near Henry's ear and whispered "This is secret, but I'm going to open a big shop in town, in there everyone would have to listen."
"Amazing!" The eyes of the young were full of admiration and envy. "Our shop is good but is a little small..."
"But you know, if you do a tiny thing, you could also be a big boss."
"What!? What do I need to do? I will do anything!" the hamster happily offered, without thinking about the consequences.
"Really? Anything?"
"Yes! I want to be big and powerful!"
"Well, then. The only thing you need to do is to be my bride. Then all I have will be yours. Of course, you will be the boss."
"Bride? What's that?" asked the hamster innocently. After all, the small child didn't know a lot of words, and the term bride was new for him.
"Oh, it's a very simple thing. It means that you have to be with me and play with me forever." The cat said nonsense with a straight face.
"Mmm... Can my dad and daddy be big bosses too?"
"Sure, they will be under your protection and no one will dare to disturb them. I can also give you anything you want."
"I'll do it!" I'm his mind, there were only benefits and nothing to lose. He could take care of his parents and he also enjoyed playing with his big brother. How nice will it be to always have a playmate? Besides, if he becomes a big boss, he would have a lot of little brothers! "I want a bakery like a turtle shell!" He had seen turtles on the river, and they looked very comfy inside their shell, he wanted to have a shell too!
"Excellent! Then, when you grow older, you will be my bride and I will build you the best bakery... Do you promise?"
"Yesh~Henry promise!"
After that, Smiley's parents finally found him and took him back. Of course, for the hospitality of Henry's parents, they gave them some good money as a thanks. That day, Henry cried as he was separated from the blue cat.
"Don't worry, little thing, I will come back for you." Smiley then gave a kiss on the cheek to Henry and left with his parents.
After that, little Henry waited for the cat to come back, but after a year, he forgot about the promise. Years later, he would occasionally remember a big brother and came to play with for a week, but that was it. He really didn't pay much attention. Until a few weeks ago, Smiley met Felix and Fang Yu in the flower shop. It was really a coincidence that they worked at the same bakery as Henry. He originally came to check on the Turtle Town branch and also to reclaim the promise of back then.
But he didn't expect that his shop was making his little sweetheart's life so hard, so after giving a beating to the fatty pig, he decided to come clean.
"Well, that was about it..." Henry eats were still a little red after telling the story.
"Well, in that case, what do you want to do? Are you going to accept?" if they were childhood sweethearts, it would really be a good story.
"I-I don't know..." Henry himself wasn't sure. All this time, he thought that nobody would be willing to marry him, after all, with his sick father he thought it would be difficult to find a good husband. But who would have thought that not only one came to his door, but it was also someone with so much background!
The uneasiness that he felt was coming from the fact that Chester was the young master of a big family, meanwhile, he was just a normal boy from a provincial town with a small business. Would his family agree? Smiley won't get tired of him? He heard that rich men from the capital had from two to three wives. He didn't want to be in a situation like that.
Felix understood the thoughts of his friend. "Well, if you like him, that's good. If you're not sure, give it a shot? Go on small dates before agreeing to marry him." After all, Smiley didn't look like a bad guy. Besides, if he comes from a good family, Henry's days would get only better!
Fang Yu by his side, was suddenly quiet. His thoughts were unknown to everyone except himself.
...
Felix was worried.
These days, Fang Yu has been acting strange. Ever since he woke up after the fight, he would frequently spacing out or would disappear for a couple of hours every day. He once asked him if everything was okay, but he would only say that nothing was wrong while avoiding eye contact.
Besides, he didn't know if it was the pregnancy, but recently, he had been moodier than usual. He would be happy and then out of nowhere he would be sad and anxious, adding the strange behavior of Fang Yu, his mood didn't improve.
Today, he decided to follow Fang Yu secretly. He asked Henry if he wanted to come, but the other declined, he had been hanging around Smiley these days. The good thing is that the cat usually came to help in the bakery, so he didn't need to worry about the shop.
So this was a one-man mission.
Qiu said angrily.
Yes, this was one man mission, plus one rabbit system.
They followed Fang Yu since the man came out of his house. Then, he followed him to the flower shop, where he bought some beautiful bouquet of flowers. Then he went to the smithy, after that he went inside the woods of the town.
said the rabbit.
Felix didn't understand Fang Yu movements, but he still decided to follow him secretly. They walk for some distance until they arrive at a small river. The crystal water was running down the stream, the fish would jump out of the water occasionally. Beside the shore, some rose petals were spread around the ground. Adding the trees around, the scenery was perfect for a painting.
"Now let's wait for the lover to appear, and then we can kick some butts," Qiu said as he was downloading information on how to fight the mistress from some Korean opera dramas.
"Shhhh, don't say that." Felix remained the system to not speak nonsense, but he was still a little worried inside his heart. Was Fang Yu now tired of him now that he was pregnant?
The head of Felix was still running with all kinds of thoughts when in the center, Fang Yu stayed still, but he said out loud suddenly "Fel, you can come out now."
The super secret agent, Fel, was caught red-handed. With some embarrassment, he came out of his hiding spot. "How did you know I was here?" He was sure that his movements were stealthy like a ninja!
Fang Yu, who had seen the rabbit boy following him from the start, didn't have the heart to break the boy's illusion, so he simply said. "It was my intuition."
Hearing that, Felix felt a little bit better, it was not that he wasn't sneaky enough, it was that Fang Yu's intuition was better.
"Host! Ask him what he was doing! Don't forget why we came!" Qiu reminded his host.
Remembering his original goal, Felix was again dissatisfied, "You have been acting weird these days, so I didn't have any other option."
Fang Yu only let out a little laugh, and approached the boy and gave him a hug as he put his head on his shoulder. "Sorry, I was planning a little surprise, I didn't mean to worry you."
Surprise? Felix only remains silent, waiting for Fang Yu to continue his explanation.
"Well, to tell you the truth, after the fight I have been remembering things from the past, I didn't mean to hide this from you, it was that I wanted to remember everything before telling you."
Felix only grew more uneasy. Did he recover his memory? A lot of scenes were popping out of the boy's head. Fang Yu seeing that his sweat heart grew more worried, he quickly specified. "Don't worry, me recovering my memories doesn't affect my feelings for you, if it does something, it will only make him love you more. And don't worry, after these, I will tell you everything."
Hearing that, Felix's heart was a little more relieved, but he still asked, "Then, why have you been acting strange lately?"
"Like I said, I was preparing a surprise for you."
Then, Fang Yu let Felix body and knelt in front of the boy. From his pocket, a small red box was held in his hand.
Felix's body froze as Fang Yu opened the box and a tiny but beautiful silver ring was exposed.
"After I remembered, I noticed that I was doing things the wrong way. If my grandma knew how our relationship had developed, she would surely hit me with a book." Fang Yu said, while remembering his eyes were full of softness, as the memories he obtained were precious treasures.
"You know, usually one first chases the beauty before expecting a child and planning a life together, but it seems that we skipped a lot of steps before arriving where we are now. We are days away from our wedding, and we are already expecting a child together, but I think I forgot a very important step. "
Felix couldn't speak, he only kept staring right at Fang Yu eyes. That was so full of love that he couldn't move his eyes away.
"You know, before arriving at this place, I never thought that I would find someone so perfect. All love every single part of you. I often heard how my grandfather loved deeply my grandmother who did all kinds of madness for love, but now I understand. Felix, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So I ask you, will you marry me?"
Felix, who had already had tears in his eyes, nodded his head rapidly, "Yes, I do!" He then jumped right into Fang Yu's arms.
He was so happy, his chest was warm, and in the arms of his beloved he got comfortable and safe.
Fang Yu then put the ring on his beloved finger and gave him a sweet kiss.
Qiu, who was a sea ââof ââtears, said as he swept away his tears,
