After Marrying My Silly Childhood Sweetheart
Description
When Duan Baisui was six, he carelessly promised, “When you grow up, we’ll get married.”
At twenty‑five, he returns from overseas to find that the “little fool” he left behind has taken that promise, and a cheap plastic ring, and waited eight long years.
Everyone calls Zuo Nian stupid—slow to react, easy to bully, always losing things.
Only Duan Baisui knows that this orphaned Omega has been quietly saving his sweetest candy, his warmest soup, and his entire youth for one person.
Facing an unwanted government match, Duan Baisui “takes responsibility” and marries the childhood friend who never stopped waiting.
He thinks he’s just honoring a childish vow… until the night he finds Zuo Nian hiding in the bathroom, trembling through his first true heat, biting back sobs rather than call his Alpha for help.
In that moment, he realizes that the one bound for life by that offhand promise was never Zuo Nian—it was him.
From a misunderstood marriage to a hard‑won confession,
from a scandal‑ridden “pleasure island” to an orphanage rebuilt in the light,
from the scars on a gland to the shine of a wedding band—
through all their years, he slowly learns how to love the boy who loved him first.
“I’ve been waiting for you since I was five.”
“And all the years after that, I was learning how to love you back.”
