—”Yes, the tombstone design for my deceased beta lover and me is ready. I’m going to sign it.”

Rong Qiu’s words were just a reasonable excuse for not having time for him.

He didn’t need to get too tangled up with Qin Muye repeatedly on the matter of bedmates. He wasn’t willing to be in the submissive position, and Qin Muye wouldn’t bend over for him either. The issue of position was the biggest obstacle that kept them from being together from the beginning. 

Since that’s the case, there’s no need for compromise in the future. 

Seeing Qin Muye silent, Rong Qiu glanced at his watch again. “I have to be at the cemetery by eight thirty. If Commander Qin has nothing else, I’ll leave first.” 

“I’ll accompany you.” 

“What?” 

Rong Qiu’s half-step out paused in the air. 

“I said I’ll accompany you.” 

With that, the man took a half-step forward, indicating that he would follow Rong Qiu. 

He did follow Rong Qiu, maintaining a half-step distance behind, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake it off. It wasn’t until Qin Muye sat in the passenger seat, calmly fastening his seatbelt, that Rong Qiu came back to his senses. 

His hand twisted the car key, just before starting the ignition, Rong Qiu asked again. 

“I’m going to visit the grave of my deceased beta lover. It’s a double grave.” 

Rong Qiu emphasized the last few words. 

Qin Muye’s dark eyes flickered with a hint of pain, but it quickly disappeared.

“Let’s go.”

Qin Muye insisted on going, so Rong Qiu let him. Today, he would let this alpha see, let him see the effort he put into the tombstone for his beta lover, the unwavering love for his beta lover.

The two of them didn’t speak on the way.

The cemetery was a bit far from Rong Qiu’s villa. He pressed the speed to the maximum, barely arriving at the cemetery at half-past eight.

The tombstone designer had been pre-selected by Rong Qiu and was introduced to the office by the receptionist. The beta designer professionally presented several newly designed drawings in front of Rong Qiu.

“Currently, we have designed these five options. Mr. Rong, if you find any of them suitable, you can choose one for a pre-sculpting on the tombstone.”

If it were an ordinary client, the designer wouldn’t be so meticulous. It was just that Rong Qiu had been too generous when buying the tomb, so the designer, even if he were bald, wanted to ensure the client’s satisfaction.

Rong Qiu was quite satisfied, feeling that all these designs were excellent. However, being too satisfied made the decision a bit tricky for him. 

He had a mild fear of making choices. When faced with only one option, he could be decisive, but when there were more than two, he started to hesitate. He needed someone to give him a push to make a choice. Now, facing the tombstone designs, Rong Qiu felt that every design was good. But since he and Ah Ye’s double tomb only needed one tombstone, Rong Qiu found himself in a dilemma.

He looked left and right, unable to make a decision. 

Then he remembered that he had brought a tool along with him today. 

Rong Qiu decisively pushed the blueprint towards Qin Muye beside him.

“Commander Qin, give me a suggestion.”

It wasn’t anything else; he simply couldn’t make a decision. 

Qin Muye also couldn’t make a decision.

Not only couldn’t he decide, but the entire alpha was struck by a thunderbolt.

What’s going on?

How come his name is on the tombstone?

Rong Qiu x Qin Ye

The moment Rong Qiu saw this name, it was like an old monk entering a deep state of meditation.

Qin Muye had never imagined that he would be paired with Rong Qiu using this name. In these five years, no one had mentioned this name, not even Su Ran before they broke off contact.

The name “Qin Ye” died with the appearance of “Qin Muye.” It was evidence of a certain period of his life; it wasn’t the complete him. A dead person occupied his position, appearing in the partner column for Rong Qiu. A thorough sense of absurdity occupied the sharp mind of the alpha, and the man’s normally quick logic completely collapsed.

“Commander Qin?”

Rong Qiu looked at Qin Muye with a pair of clear eyes, his face calm, but waves of doubt were already rolling in his heart.

What’s wrong with Qin Muye?

He seemed normal when he came forward just now, but now, letting him choose a tombstone, his expression has changed like this.

He couldn’t understand this alpha at all.

Rong Qiu’s long eyelashes covered the confusion in his eyes.

The designer in front didn’t dare to speak either. 

If it were just Mr. Rong negotiating with him, he might be more relaxed. However, with Mr. Rong, there was also this cold and ruthless alpha. Although he couldn’t perceive the alpha’s so-called pheromone intensity, the aura this person gave him felt very unpleasant, giving him chills. Especially when he took out the design drafts, the alpha’s eyes were fixed tightly on the papers in his hands.

Usually, clients who spend a large sum on a tomb and request a designed tombstone often provide their preferences, some leaning towards yang energy, others favoring the five elements. But Mr. Rong, who came with this alpha, originally only had one request: to design according to the given template.

He did just that, but did he unintentionally violate the taboo of this alpha?

The three people remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Rong Qiu took back the design draft in front of Qin Muye. “Forget it, I’ll choose it myself.”

Rong Qiu randomly picked one of the five drafts.

Coincidentally, the sentence “I love Aye, and I only hope to be together in the next life” blatantly appeared on the paper.

This was much more difficult than competing with a stranger beta. He didn’t know what effect the hypnosis had on Rong Qiu, turning the beta Ah Ye he had spent a year with into a lifelong partner.

But if it was true, Qin Muye finally clarified his thoughts.

No wonder he couldn’t find any information about the dead beta partner around Rong Qiu. Since he changed from Qin Ye to Qin Muye, the identity of the former had been completely erased by him. Whether it was his experiences at A University in the past or the time spent with Rong Qiu during his missions later, every bit related to Qin Ye was destroyed by him.

He, who created the image of a beta orphan A University command department student with no family background, should have been Ah Ye buried under the tomb, but Rong Qiu no longer recognized him.

“I love Ah Ye.” Qin Muye’s heart was once again deeply pierced.

What Rong Qiu should love is clearly him.

But the previous him completely replaced the current him, leaving an indelible mark in Rong Qiu’s heart. Rong Qiu was even willing to enter the double tomb with beta Ah Ye, and in the next life, he would still walk hand in hand with beta Ah Ye as a partner.

Qin Ye was Qin Muye.

But Qin Muye knew that everything was different now.

What he had destroyed was precisely what Rong Qiu genuinely loved.

***

It took some time to actually carve on the tombstone after choosing the design. Only when the finished product was ready will Rong Qiu pay the remaining amount. The designer respectfully escorted the two of them out.

Rong Qiu planned to take a walk in his cemetery.

That’s right; he did it on purpose.

He wasn’t the beta that Qin Muye could coax with just a few words.

What he wanted to tell Qin Muye now was that there was a loved one in his heart. Loving Ah Ye had become a habit in his life, and currently, he didn’t need, nor did he want, to change his life status.

He admitted that Qin Muye’s appearance did indeed cause ripples in his heart.

Qin Muye and his beta lover had the same appearance, the same voice, and even the same perfume preferences. Even wearing more casual and youthful clothes, just like now, he could completely replace Ah Ye. But this kind of disturbance Qin Muye brought to him was not enough to drive him to choose a more adventurous, more unstable, and more dangerous life.

How long can a beta and an alpha stay together?

The success of big brother was just a coincidence. Among the countless people in the Federation, the actual number of AB pairs who can be together is very few.

The two walked silently on a tree-lined path.

The rain last night made the leaves exceptionally green this morning. The air was filled with the scent of soil and grass, with a faint hint of some unfamiliar floral fragrance. Birds chirped and fluttered among the trees, creating a lively atmosphere. If not for the fact that this was a cemetery, one might mistake it for a beautiful park.

“We’re here.”

Rong Qiu chose a great location for the tomb.

That’s why he bid such a high price initially. 

He didn’t believe in things like Yin-Yang-Feng-Shui; he purely felt that this location was good, with mountains behind and water in front. Having traversed through mechs and artillery in his lifetime, he naturally wanted to rest peacefully after death.

Looking at the environment, Rong Qiu couldn’t help but feel satisfied. 

If the tombstone is as excellently designed as the draft, it will serve as proof of him and his beloved Ah Ye’s existence.

Rong Qiu’s face softened, and the sunlight filtering through the leaves cast a warm glow on his porcelain-white face, revealing faint traces of dim light. It was at moments like these that he appeared gentle.

“Commander Qin, are you surprised today?” 

Qin Muye being gazed at by Rong Qiu under the dappled sunlight nodded slightly, “A bit.”

Rong Qiu’s fingers stroked the young trees beside him, not even knee-high. “Are you surprised that my beta lover’s name is so similar to yours?”

Qin Muye stared at Rong Qiu, appearing somewhat numb.

Of course it was similar.

The name was casually altered by Qin Muye back then.

Rong Qiu tilted his head slightly and continued, “Not only is the name similar. Your appearance and voice are almost identical to my beta lover’s. So, when I first met Commander Qin, I was surprised. Seeing Commander Qin was like seeing my beta lover.”

Qin Muye had long been in a trance.

He stared fixedly at the beta’s head, his chest heaving violently.

Similar appearance and nearly identical voices.

They were the same person; naturally, they were identical.

Rong Qiu’s words were dull but continuously pricked at Qin Muye’s heart. The alpha’s pale lips parted, and the veins on the back of his hand looked ferocious. The gray-blue veins even trembled, and ultimately, he couldn’t utter a word.

As Rong Qiu turned to look at the alpha’s handsome face, he did so with sincerity, without any desire, just admiration.

Similar, very similar.

But how could a person come back to life after death?

Rong Qiu’s tenderness faded slightly, and the azure pupils returned to clarity.

“But soon I knew that you two are not the same person. Commander Qin is an S-class alpha from the prestigious Qin family, while my Ah Ye is just a beta and an orphan. How could there be any connection between you?”
