After Losing His Memory, He Married His Ex-boyfriend’s Father

Without changing his expression, Huo Chengyuan skillfully buttoned up his shirt and looked down at the burn on the back of the boy’s hand. He spoke gently, “Go to sleep. The wound will heal slower if it gets wet.”

Jiang Nian touched the gauze on his head and looked down at the small blister on the back of his hand. Regretful and unwilling, he nodded his chin.

“Okay, then. I’ll wait for you in the room,” he said with a shy smile and red cheeks.

Back in the bedroom, Jiang Nian lay on the bed and worked on his drafts while waiting for his husband to finish showering. However, the medication kicked in and within half an hour he was asleep, his eyes closed as he lay on his arm.

At one o’clock in the morning, Jiang Nian woke up from a nightmare, calling out “husband,” only to find himself alone in bed. There was not even a crease on the other pillow, no sign that anyone had slept there.

His eyes grew red and he pouted, almost crying.

“Tick-tock, tick-tock…”

The sound of the clock seemed louder than usual in the quiet and dark bedroom. Having just woken up from a nightmare, Jiang Nian couldn’t help but think of the horror movie he had watched earlier, which also had similar ticking sounds.

Suddenly, he stiffened and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, his hands gripping the corners, leaving only his teary eyes exposed. He stared warily and anxiously in the direction of the sound.

Could the sound of the clock be that loud?

What if it wasn’t the sound of the clock?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He dove into the blanket and covered himself completely, not even showing a single strand of hair.

There was no night light in his husband’s bedroom, and the bedside lamp was too high for him to reach while lying down. He was too scared to leave the bed, so he could only shiver under the pale moonlight that was almost suffocating.

On the other side of the guest room in the study, Huo Chengyuan closed his eyes but had not yet fallen asleep. He was used to hotel beds, and it usually took him until two or three in the morning to fall asleep.

“Tic-toc, tic-toc…”

A sound of nails scratching the door came from outside, sharp and piercing, instantly dissipating any trace of sleepiness that Huo Chengyuan had managed to muster.

“Darling, are you asleep?”

The boy scratched at the door panel, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

Huo Chengyuan had originally planned to ignore it. If he didn’t respond, the boy might leave after a while. However, the grating “scratch” sound showed no signs of stopping. The boy tenaciously scratched at the door panel, stubbornly calling out “Darling.”

Huo Chengyuan sighed silently, then sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.

Outside the bedroom, Jiang Nian held a pillow and tapped on the pattern on the door.

As he tapped, the door opened.

He raised his hand, stunned for three seconds, and then tears began to flow as he looked at the man in front of him.

“Darling…”

The boy’s eyes were red, his curly hair in disarray, and his shirt several sizes too big, with one corner tucked haphazardly into his pajama pants. He hadn’t even bothered to put on his slippers. His pitiful appearance as he called out “Darling” made Huo Chengyuan furrow his brow.

“Why didn’t you put on your slippers before coming over?”

“I forgot…” Jiang Nian pursed his lips and then opened his arms to the man in front of him, saying with a pitiful expression, “Darling, hug me.”

The boy’s face was a little pale, and his red eyes showed that he had been frightened by a nightmare.

Before Huo Chengyuan could react, the boy had already pounced on him and hugged him tightly.

Jiang Nian stood on his tiptoes, one hand holding a pillow, and the other hooking around his husband’s neck.

It was so warm in his husband’s embrace, and there was a very pleasant grapefruit scent. The moment he snuggled up, he felt a wave of peace, and the nervous and scared emotions from before disappeared in an instant.

“Darling, I’m scared, will you sleep with me?”

Jiang Nian rubbed his cheek against the man’s neck and spoke in a coaxing tone.

He had noticed that his husband’s attitude towards him had changed since he lost his memory. His husband used to love sleeping with him and often kissed and hugged him. But today, not only did he not kiss or hug him, he didn’t even hold hands. Even when he made a request, his husband would hesitate for a long time before finally agreeing, and it was always him who took the initiative.

Husband, are you tired of me? Jiang Nian felt a little sad.

“Husband, wait a little longer, I will grow more!” he said firmly while hugging the man’s neck.
His butt wasn’t very perky, but he was only eighteen years old. Once he ate more and gained some weight, his body would become fuller and his butt would become rounder and perkier.

“So please wait for me, husband. I will definitely grow into the type you like!”

Jiang Nian wanted to stay in her husband’s arms for a while longer, but soon the man pushed him away by grabbing his shoulder.

“Husband…” he looked at the man with a hurt and incredulous expression.

Huo Chengyuan didn’t understand what the boy was saying and didn’t intend to ask, because he was only temporarily taking care of the boy for his son and didn’t need to know too much.

“Let Ningning accompany you to sleep.”

His tone was still gentle, but it made Jiang Nian’s eyes turn red.

“Let Ningning take you to take a bath, let Ningning accompany you to watch TV, let Ningning accompany you to sleep.”

Jiang Nian had heard these words all day long. Why did his husband always try to push him away?

“No.” Jiang Nian pulled the man’s clothes and became angry. “I don’t want to sleep with anyone else. You are my husband!”

The boy’s emotions were a bit out of control, and Huo Chengyuan looked at the bandage on the boy’s head, which was faintly stained with blood. He was worried that this would affect his recovery, so he no longer tried to correct the boy and gently touched the top of his head while avoiding the wound.
“Don’t be angry anymore. Can I apologize to you?”

Jiang Nian pouted and hummed, “You can’t push me to someone else again. If you promise me, I will forgive you.”

Huo Chengyuan hesitated for a moment, but seeing the boy’s eyes turn red as if he was about to cry, he had to nod and promise.

Jiang Nian immediately smiled, even his eyes were filled with a thick smile.

“I forgive you,” he said, pulling the man’s arm and smiling happily.

“I’m so tired, husband. Let’s go back to our room and sleep.” He rubbed his eyes and said.

“Okay,” Huo Chengyuan replied.

He had wanted to keep his distance from the boy, but in the end, they both slept on the same bed.

After the boy fell asleep, Huo Chengyuan withdrew his right hand, which had been holding the boy in his arms all along, and gave all the blankets to the boy, while he covered himself with a small blanket and closed his eyes to sleep on one side of the bed.

The bed was really big, and it was as if there was a great divide between them, and neither of them could touch each other.

When Jiang Nian woke up in the morning, the spot next to him was empty. He looked at the empty room for a while, then grabbed his husband’s pillow and gently rubbed it against his cheek as if it were his husband’s face.

“Mmm, it smells exactly like my husband.” He sniffed the faint grapefruit scent on the top and his lips curled up slightly.

Today, he had to go back to school to pack his belongings and take a few days off. Jiang Nian got up from the bed and had already finished getting ready by almost 8 o’clock.

However, Huo Nianning woke up even later than him, yawning and coming downstairs at half-past eight.

“Good morning,” he greeted the two of them.

“Morning.” Jiang Nian didn’t even lift his head, swallowing the custard bun in his mouth. His eyes lit up.

“This custard bun is so delicious, you should try one too,” he said, picking up a bun and handing it to his husband.

Under the boy’s expectant gaze, Huo Chengyuan picked up the bun and took a bite. In the next second, a strong aroma of egg and milk filled his mouth, the sweet and fragrant taste satisfying and addictive.

“Not bad, it’s delicious,” he smiled.

Huo Nianning: “…”

They hadn’t even had breakfast and he had already eaten a big bowl of dog food.

After breakfast, Jiang Nian sat in his husband’s car and went back to school to pack his belongings, with Huo Nianning sitting in the back seat.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Nan City University.

Huo Nianning remembered his friend and his dad’s close relationship, a little worried that their relationship would be exposed. After all, the people in the dormitory had seen his dad. If his friend couldn’t help but ask for a hug or kiss from his dad, it would be too embarrassing. He and his future step-mom could pack up their things and prepare to move to Mars.

When the car reached the dormitory building, Jiang Nian was stopped by Huo Nianning. After listening to his concerns, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

He had amnesia, not stupidity. He knew that his relationship with his husband needed to be kept confidential, and in front of outsiders, he called him “uncle.”

“Huo Uncle, Nianning and I live on the third floor of the dormitory.”

Jiang Nian smiled sweetly, relaying the information he got from Huo Nianning.

Hearing the boy’s change in address, Huo Chengyuan’s footsteps paused.

“Let’s go.” He closed the car door and said calmly.

Jiang Niandong didn’t have a lot of belongings, and he planned to come back to continue classes after he had recovered from his injuries, so he didn’t pack too much. He managed to fit everything into a 20-inch suitcase.

After a moment, Jiang Niandong walked over to the man with his suitcase and said, “Uncle Huo, let’s go.”

Huo Nianning stopped packing his backpack and looked over at his friend.

Why does he sound so awkward when he calls me “uncle”? It feels like he’s flirting…

“Dad, I have a class later, so I won’t go to the dean’s office with you. Do you remember where the office building is?” He put on his backpack and saw his dad nod, then said, “Okay, I’ll go to class now.”

“Hold on, Nianning. Goodbye, Niannian and Uncle Huo, we’re going to class!” After saying goodbye to his two roommates, he followed his dad.

Huo Chengyuan didn’t go to work yesterday, and today representatives from the new elite group came to talk about cooperation, so he helped his son get a day off, sent him home, and then drove back to the company.

After the man left, Jiang Nian dragged his suitcase to the master bedroom, cleared out half of the closet space, and hung up the few sets of clothes he brought one by one.

There weren’t many clothes, and he finished organizing them in less than ten minutes.

He stepped back and looked at his clothes and his husband’s clothes hanging tightly together, and smiled happily.

The boss’s draft wasn’t finished yet, so after packing his things, he went back to the living room with his tablet to continue editing the draft.The time spent painting always goes by quickly, and before realizing it, over an hour had passed. Jiang Nian’s stomach grumbled, reminding him that it was already time for a meal. With his husband not at home, he didn’t feel like cooking and planned to order takeout while holding his phone. Before he could open the app, he received a WeChat message from his husband.

【Husband】: I ordered takeout for you, it should be arriving soon. Remember to take your medicine after eating.

Jiang Nian lay on the sofa, kicked up his legs, and happily swayed back and forth.

【Always remembering】: [Cat nods] Remember to eat on time too~

【Always remembering】: [Cat heart]

There was no response from his phone, so he pouted and waited for a while. Less than half a minute later, his husband replied with a simple “okay”. Even though it was just one word, Jiang Nian held his phone with delight, feeling as if he had just tasted honey.

At twelve-fifty, the doorbell rang. Jiang Nian, wearing bunny slippers, rushed to the door and peered through the peephole to see the delivery guy before opening the door. After receiving the food and thanking the delivery guy, he opened the takeout and found that it was all his favorite dishes. His mood instantly improved.

The food his husband ordered was always delicious, and he accidentally ate too much. He leaned back in his chair, rubbed his stomach, and remembered his husband’s words to take his medicine. He obediently went to the coffee table to take his medicine.

After cleaning up the table, Jiang Nian yawned and thought about revising his manuscript before going to sleep. However, he fell asleep on the sofa with his tablet in his hands. When he woke up again, it was already past three in the afternoon.

His tablet was still on, but the battery was almost dead. Jiang Nian quickly saved his work before the screen went black. He breathed a sigh of relief and began charging his tablet.

While eating an apple and scrolling through his phone for inspiration, he watched several cute pet videos posted by bloggers. Then, he saw a gossip news article about “husbands being seduced by mistresses while their wives were away”, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

Thinking about how his husband likes a perky butt, and also thinking about his husband’s ambiguous attitude towards him after his amnesia, Jiang Nian feels terrible.

He’s currently sick and unable to fulfill his husband’s physical needs, and he is afraid that his husband might be seduced by some outside temptress.

He’s restless, biting his fingers and pacing back and forth in the living room. After much thought, Jiang Nian decides to do something to keep his husband.

He pulls out his notebook and carefully reads through “10 secret fetishes of his husband” before deciding to buy a set of erotic clothing online.

Jiang Nian browses through Taobao for about ten minutes, and his cheeks turn from their original fair complexion to a bright red color.

This is too explicit.

He stares at a set of erotic lingerie that reveals the front of the chest and the back, blushing at the thought of having to wear such a revealing piece of clothing in front of his husband. Even his toes curl up with embarrassment.

After much hesitation, he picks out two items that aren’t as revealing and places an order. But it’s already afternoon, and even if it’s from the same city, it won’t be delivered until the next morning.

Jiang Nian can’t wait, so he grabs her backpack and navigates to a remote sex toy shop.

The shop owner is a young man in his early thirties, wearing glasses, with a mild and enthusiastic temperament. He doesn’t find it strange that Jiang Nian is wearing sunglasses and a mask, and asks if he can help with anything.

Jiang Nian rubs his fingers together, feeling more courageous with his face covered.

“Um, I just want to take a look around,” he whispers.

“No problem.” The shop owner smiles and says, “Is this your first time here?”

Embarrassed, Jiang Nian nods his head.

The shop owner notices his embarrassment and kindly reassures his, “Don’t be shy, you’ll get used to it after a few times.”

Get used to it?

Jiang Nian looks at the lace lingerie and various massage tools on display in broad daylight, blushing under his mask.

No matter how many times he comes here, he’ll still feel embarrassed.

The shop owner smiled and asked, “May I ask if you’re buying it for your girlfriend or boyfriend?”

Jiang Nian gripped his school bag strap tightly, feeling so embarrassed that he almost felt like he was going to burst into smoke.

He whispered to the shop owner, “My… my boyfriend.”

“I see,” said the shop owner, who had a keen eye. He pushed his glasses up and said, “These ones outside may not be suitable for you. Come and have a look inside.”

Jiang Nian followed the shop owner as he walked behind the display shelves and approached a wooden door.

Curious, Jiang Nian followed the owner inside and was amazed by what he saw.

“Wow, this is beautiful!” he exclaimed, looking at a pink maid outfit with a heart-shaped cutout on the chest.

“I’m glad to have found someone who knows their stuff,” said the shop owner. “Sexy isn’t the only option for lingerie. Cute and pretty can be just as good.”

“This outfit might be more suitable for you compared to the ones outside,” said the shop owner, smiling at the young man in front of him. “Although you’re wearing glasses and a mask, I’m sure my judgment won’t be wrong.”

As the shop owner guessed that the clothes were for Jiang Nian, he blushed so hard that he felt like his face was on fire. He hung his head down and felt like he wanted to find a hole to hide in.

“You’re quite slim, so this outfit should be perfect for you,” said the shop owner as he pulled out a new maid outfit. “There’s a fitting room over there. Would you like to try it on?”

“Is anyone there? Is the boss here?”

Jiang Nian hesitated for a moment, but then a customer came in and started calling out for the boss. Jiang Nian finally had a chance to catch his breath.

Phew, the shop owner was a bit too enthusiastic, but the clothes really were beautiful.

He held the outfit tightly and couldn’t resist going to the fitting room to try it on before the shop owner came in.
