The “Tower” has already sent the matching report.

A compatibility of 99%.

Marriage was already a done deal.

Marrying the heir to the Bolton family—such a huge pie falling from the sky—was something his aunt and uncle would not refuse.

Fang Chen sat on the edge of the bed in his room, dazed. Ever since his parents passed away, he had lived with his aunt’s family. Although they weren’t particularly good to him, they had indeed raised him to this age. The matter of marriage was something Fang Chen couldn’t refuse, nor was he in a position to.

But was he really going to marry a stranger?

Seth Bolton.

He silently repeated the name in his heart. It wasn’t that Fang Chen hadn’t looked him up online, but Seth had joined the military right after coming of age, and all his information was top secret. He couldn’t find anything. This was a true blind marriage.

He heard that Seth had only been moved to a non-combat role this time due to a mental rampage and was already preparing to take over the family business. Having been in the military before, his personality was probably very serious. Fang Chen, lying on his bed, had already started searching for tutorials on how to fold blankets into tofu cubes.

A soft, fluffy thing snuggled up next to him. It was Fang Chen’s spirit guide, a small, white, curly-haired sheep.

“Miee,” Fang Chen wrapped an arm around it. “After we move to our new home, you have to get along well with Seth’s spirit guide. Hmm… although I don’t know what it is yet, it should be very fierce, and probably has a bad temper.”

The little sheep rubbed its head against Fang Chen.

---

Three days later, a private reception was held to finalize the marriage. That evening, Fang Chen was packed up and thrown into the villa.

On their wedding night, only Fang Chen was in the villa. Seth had an urgent meeting at his company and hadn’t returned yet. The butler told him to go to bed first. Fang Chen shook his head, feeling it would be impolite. He let the servants rest and sat on the living room sofa to wait. At the very least, he should greet his new spouse.

This morning, he had received a prenuptial agreement sent by Seth’s people. It was written very clearly: Seth would regularly transfer funds to Fang Chen, and Fang Chen only needed to help Seth soothe his mental sea. Other than that, the two could not have any intimate contact. Even at night, Fang Chen was required to sleep in the guest room.

It was a very cold, very humiliating agreement. But Fang Chen read it without a word and just silently signed his name.

He had originally intended to wait on the sofa, but as it got later and later, Fang Chen became too sleepy and couldn’t hold on, dozing off. The little sheep in his arms had long since fallen asleep in a heap.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the door opening was heard.

Fang Chen heard the noise and tried hard to open his eyes, groggily getting up. The first thing he saw was a pair of sharp, tailored trousers. Looking further up, he met the man’s grey-blue eyes.

He said dazedly, “You… hello.”

When Seth first saw someone sleeping on the sofa, he guessed it was his newlywed partner. The man felt annoyed, thinking this person was deliberately putting on such an act. Was he starting this on the very first day?

Until he got closer.

He saw the young man’s dazed appearance. Because he had been sleeping, his soft white cheeks still had red marks on them. His black hair was messy, his lips were so red, opening and closing as if saying something. He was even hugging a soft little sheep. They say a spirit guide and its master are very similar. Seth had initially scoffed at this; he was nothing like that stupid wolf. But at this moment, Seth believed it.

Fang Chen was almost indistinguishable from the little sheep in his arms, just as soft. When he looked up, his eyes were round and bright.

Seth’s mind seemed to go blank for a moment. He had never felt this way before, like being hit in the heart with a bullet. His heart was suddenly full. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and the words that came out were a bit hoarse. “Fang Chen?”

Fang Chen sobered up a little and quickly nodded. “That’s me. I was waiting for you here… um, do you need a mental soothing tonight?” After all, this was his main purpose. And the main purpose of this marriage.

Ever since Seth saw him, his gaze had not left him, as if glued on. He said in a low voice, “No need.”

Fang Chen was relieved and nodded. “Then I’ll go to bed first. Good night.”

Sleep?

“Wait!” Seth immediately called out to stop him. “Where are you going to sleep?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll stay in the guest room.”

That won’t do!

Seth said decisively, “You can’t sleep in the guest room.”

Huh? Fang Chen was confused. But wasn’t that what the agreement said?

The man lied without batting an eye. “The furniture in the guest room is new, and the smell hasn’t dissipated yet. It’s not suitable for anyone to stay in for now.”

Fang Chen stammered, “The butler didn’t tell me.”

“He doesn’t know.”

“Then…” Fang Chen looked around and said softly, “I’ll sleep in the living room tonight.”

Seth’s brows furrowed. “Sleeping in the living room on your wedding night? That’s settled, just sleep in the master bedroom.”

Fang Chen still wanted to say something, but looking at the man’s stern appearance, he obediently shut his mouth and followed Seth to the master bedroom. The little sheep nudged him with its head, so Fang Chen put it on the floor to let it follow.

On the second floor, the room at the very end was the master bedroom. When he arrived at the villa today, the butler had shown him all the rooms, except for the study and the master bedroom.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a black shadow leaped out. Fang Chen was startled, his body frozen in place, not daring to move. But the shadow’s intention was not him. Seth let out a cold command.

The lights in the room came on. It was a Northern Grey Wolf. It was unclear if it had undergone some genetic mutation, but its body was huge. Even when it was slightly hunched, it exuded a sense of pressure. The wolf’s eyes were the same grey-blue as Seth’s, looking very cold.

Fang Chen let out a breath of relief, his heart still pounding. He forced a smile. “Is this your spirit guide? You locked him in the room by himself?”

Seth glanced coldly at the grey wolf. “He’s disobedient.”

Fang Chen looked back at the little sheep hiding behind him. “Miee, go say hello.”

The little sheep hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached. Just as it tentatively got close, the grey wolf immediately stood up straight, lowered its head, and accurately grabbed the back of the little sheep’s neck with its mouth, walking right past the two of them.

Fang Chen was dumbfounded. “He…”

Seth comforted him, “He won’t hurt the little sheep.” Spirit guides and their masters have a spiritual bond. In a sense, they share feelings and can perceive each other’s emotions.

Hearing Seth say this, Fang Chen relaxed. He looked back at the bedroom, feeling a little awkward. There was only one bed. Could two people sleep on it?

In contrast, Seth seemed very natural. Although there was a walk-in closet next to him for changing, he took off his shirt directly in front of Fang Chen. A strong, muscular back was thus exposed. There were several scars on it, probably from the battlefield. Fang Chen glanced at it and then hastily turned his head away.

Seth asked him without a change in expression, “Want to take a shower?”

What did that mean? Together?

Fang Chen felt like his brain couldn’t function anymore. He just shook his head. “No, no, I’ve already showered.”

“Alright then. I’ll go take a shower.” The man’s tone sounded a bit regretful.

While the man was showering, Fang Chen thought for a moment and decided to climb into bed first. That way, when Seth came out, he could pretend to be asleep and avoid the awkwardness. Fang Chen gave himself a thumbs-up for his cleverness.

Seth took the fastest shower of his life. He deeply regretted going to that stupid meeting today. To leave the young man alone at home. No, he should have regretted it even earlier. That stupid agreement should never have been sent over. But it didn’t matter. He would just pretend it never happened. He had a thick skin, anyway. Seth quickly set a preliminary course of action in his mind, rinsed off the foam, and walked out wearing only a towel.

To his disappointment, the young man was already lying down. His back was to him, on a large bed, pressed tightly against the other side, leaving only the back of his head for Seth to see. The man stared at the round back of his head, looking at it with fascination. So round…

On the other side, Fang Chen clutched the blanket in his arms nervously. From the sounds, Seth had already showered and come out. What was he doing now? Why was there no sound? He wasn’t just standing by the bed watching him, was he? Too scary!

Just as Fang Chen’s heart was racing, there was finally a rustling sound beside him. The mattress sank. Fang Chen, afraid of being found out for pretending to be asleep, kept his eyes tightly shut, not daring to breathe.

He was tense at first, pretending to sleep, but he was too tired from the day, and it was very late now. Before long, Fang Chen really did fall asleep.

Hearing the steady breathing beside him, the man quietly moved closer, turned the person over, and pulled him into his arms.

And at this moment, in the living room downstairs, a massive grey wolf was lying lazily on the sofa. Underneath it, a soft little sheep was hidden. The little sheep struggled hard to get out, but the grey wolf’s strength was obviously no match for it. After struggling a few times, it finally gave up and lay down.

A purring sound came from the grey wolf’s throat, as if it was very pleased. He lowered his head slightly, his rough tongue licking the little sheep’s head. After a few licks, its fur was slicked down into the shape of a mango pit. Wuwuwu. Save Miee.

---

When Fang Chen woke up the next day, there was no one beside him. He sat up, his head still a bit foggy, trying hard to remember what happened last night. He… he slept in the same bed with Seth? And he just fell asleep like that? He hoped he had been well-behaved in his sleep. If he had accidentally rolled into the man’s arms, would Seth have been so angry he’d kick him out? He wondered if his aunt and uncle would still take him in.

As his mind was racing with wild thoughts, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a bare-chested man appeared before him. The young man froze. Fair enough. Yesterday he saw the back, today he saw the front. The man had probably just finished exercising. Sweat trickled down the crevices of his chest muscles, and it seemed as if every drop of sweat could flow into Fang Chen’s heart.

Heavens… what a model-like physique. Fang Chen unconsciously swallowed. Drawing little comics was one of his few hobbies. Usually, when drawing that kind of comic strip, Fang Chen could only find pictures of men with abs online. This time, one had actually appeared in front of him, and a super-pecs version at that. The pictures online were garbage compared to this!

Noticing the young man’s gaze glued to his body, the man’s lips quirked up almost imperceptibly. It wasn’t in vain that he had gone out for a steaming hot workout early in the morning, just to show his wife something fresh. The man couldn’t help but want to push his luck. If only Fang Chen would reach out and touch it. If only he could reach out and touch it, Fang Chen thought with regret. He had signed an agreement with Seth; they couldn’t have any physical contact.

Thinking of the agreement, the young man came back to his senses, turned his face away, and unconsciously gripped the blanket, his voice low. “Shouldn’t you go… take a shower?”

Seth hummed in agreement, then gave Fang Chen another deep look before turning and entering the bathroom.

The moment the door closed, Fang Chen immediately shot up like a rabbit. He had intended to go to the walk-in closet to change, but just as he reached the door, he hurriedly ran back and painstakingly folded the blanket into a tofu cube. Marrying into a rich family is so tiring!

When Seth came out, what he saw was an empty room and a neat tofu cube on the bed.

Seth: ??

The man thought for a moment and had a sudden realization. A blanket folded into a tofu cube was equivalent to military-style management, and he had been a soldier. So… Fang Chen was confessing his love to him?

Seth’s lips curled up, and he was in a great mood. So that’s why Fang Chen ran away in such a hurry. It was because he was shy.

In the walk-in closet next door, Fang Chen changed into some light clothes, planning to take his little sheep for a walk in the yard. But when he went out and looked around, he couldn’t find the little sheep. The butler pointed with a smile to the glass door behind him. Fang Chen followed his gaze. Through the glass door, he could see on the lawn of the backyard, the grey wolf was pawing at a ball, playing with the little sheep.

When he saw it yesterday, wasn’t this wolf very fierce? How did his temper get so good? But something seemed off. Looking closer, Fang Chen’s eyes widened. He quickly ran over and pushed open the glass door. “Miee, what happened to your fur?”

The little sheep used to have a beautiful head of small curls, which Fang Chen would groom clean every day. But now, how did it become a mango pit?

Seeing him coming, the little sheep tilted its head and ran over happily. Before it could pounce into Fang Chen’s arms, it was intercepted by the grey wolf. In just one night, the grey wolf’s possessiveness had become astonishingly terrifying. He snatched the little sheep into his own embrace halfway.

Fang Chen: “…”

The little sheep struggled to poke its head out from the grey wolf’s embrace, only to be pressed back down by one of its paws.

“Alien, let go.” A man’s voice, cold and firm, came from behind Fang Chen. Seth had walked over at some point and was standing behind him.

Towards Seth, the grey wolf’s attitude was clearly much worse, even though it had been quite gentle with Fang Chen just now. The grey wolf’s eyes grew even colder, and it let out a threatening growl. The next second, it was nudged by the little sheep’s head from within its embrace. A physical interruption.

The grey wolf thought it had scared the little sheep and quickly lowered its head, licking the little sheep’s head.

Seth sneered, “Pathetic.”

Fang Chen was really afraid the two would fight. He had never seen anyone have such a bad relationship with their own spirit guide. He quickly said, “Forget it, forget it. Let the little sheep play with him. Let’s go have breakfast.”

Seth’s cold expression instantly softened. He softened his voice. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

A hint of irony flashed in the long, narrow wolf eyes. Hah, pathetic.

---

In the dining room, the butler had already set the breakfast. The dishes were rich and varied, covering the entire table. After sitting down, Fang Chen felt a bit constrained. His eyes watched the man, and only after he picked up his fork did he start to eat himself.

His gaze fell on the young man, and his every move did not escape Seth’s eyes. Seth frowned slightly and couldn’t help but speak, “Fang Chen, you know we’re married.”

Hearing Seth speak, Fang Chen, like a good student, instantly put down his glass of milk, sat up straight, and listened attentively.

The man’s tone was gentle. “Treat this place as your home, okay?”

Fang Chen was stunned for a moment. After a while, he asked in a small voice, “Really?”

This look made Seth’s heart melt. He immediately nodded. “Of course.”

Fang Chen smiled shyly, his eyes curving. “Then when can I have my own room?”

Seth’s smile froze on his face. After a few seconds, he spoke through gritted teeth, “Your own… room?”

Fang Chen looked at him innocently.

Seth only felt a throbbing pain in his temples. He took a deep breath. “Fang Chen, do you know what marriage means? We are a family, we are lovers, we are partners. We are meant to live together.”

Fang Chen hesitated for a moment. “But, the agreement said…”

“Don’t mention that stupid agreement!” Seth quickly cut him off, his face not looking good. “The agreement is void.”

“Why?”

Of course, it was because he had fallen in love at first sight. From the very first glance at the young man, he had fallen hopelessly. There was no logic to love.

Seth was silent for a few seconds. “Because my spirit guide licked your little sheep. So I must be responsible for you.”

“…”

Fang Chen’s face was a picture of speechlessness. Are all military men this traditional?

“Actually, you don’t have to.”

Seth said with a serious face, “It’s very necessary. Don’t worry, I will definitely be responsible for you. I will make up for the wedding you’re missing. Later, I will also have a lawyer come to the house to handle the property notarization. You will have half of all the assets under my name.”

Fang Chen was shocked. Seth’s assets? That was an astronomical figure. Not to mention the various honors he had received upon retiring from the military, his status alone was terrifying enough.

Fang Chen quickly waved his hands. “No, no, no, please don’t. I don’t want it…”

It seemed he had scared him. Seth was a bit helpless and said softly, “Let’s eat first.”

Fang Chen didn’t know how the man’s attitude could change so much in just one night. Before the wedding, he had seemed determined to draw a clear line with him. Could it really be because of the grey wolf and the little sheep?

The meal was eaten in a state of unease. In the end, Fang Chen even wanted to help the butler clear the dishes but was stopped. “Don’t trouble yourself, sir. We can do these things.” The butler gave a slight look, indicating for Fang Chen to look at the unpleasant expression on Seth’s face nearby.

Fang Chen realized something. He almost forgot his mission! He quickly wiped his hands, walked quickly to Seth, and asked in a low voice, “How are you feeling today? Do you want me to do a mental soothing for you?”

Seth didn’t actually have this in mind at the moment. His mental landscape was a mess, and he was afraid of scaring Fang Chen. But it seemed there was no other excuse to get close to Fang Chen, so he could only nod slightly.

The two returned to the bedroom. On the way, they encountered the grey wolf and the little sheep coming back from the backyard. The little sheep was riding on the grey wolf’s back, and the wolf stood steadily, afraid the little sheep would fall.

The man and the wolf looked at each other. For a rare moment, they understood each other perfectly.

Haven’t eaten yet? Poser!

Are you a wolf or a dog? Useless.

Their compatibility was very high, so logically, the mental soothing should be very easy. But Fang Chen was too nervous; he had no relevant experience. The first time he tentatively entered Seth’s mental landscape, he was truly shocked. How could someone’s mental landscape be so severely polluted? It was like a stormy night, with lightning and thunder, and what seemed to be thick black ink flowing in between. Fang Chen had almost no idea where to start.

After hesitating for a long time, he could only use the most primitive method. Mental fusion.

He entered bit by bit, like a raindrop merging into the ocean. But the power of this raindrop was immense. It was like a drop of clear water falling into an inkstone, instantly clearing a patch.

Time passed bit by bit. By the time their mental landscapes merged, Fang Chen’s face was a little red, and sweat beaded on his forehead. The feeling was difficult to describe. It was as if, at this moment, he had peeked into Seth’s heart. He subconsciously opened his eyes and looked at Seth. At this moment, the man’s grey-blue eyes were also staring at him intently. What is he thinking…

---

The bedroom door was tightly closed. No one dared to go in at this time. Mental soothing was a very physically demanding task. Fang Chen had already fallen into a deep sleep, his clothes completely soaked. Seth held him, his heart aching as he kissed his forehead. He got a towel to wipe the young man’s body and changed him into another set of clothes. The young man was sound asleep, completely unaware.

Seth stood by the bed and quickly found a reason to reward himself. A guide who had just finished a mental soothing also needed companionship. With his reason set, he quickly got into bed and naturally pulled Fang Chen into his arms. The young man was very obedient when he slept. He didn’t move at all when held, and even actively pressed his body closer to him. Such a good baby.

Seth wasn’t sleepy and had no intention of sleeping. He just kept his eyes down, seriously looking at Fang Chen. In his heart, he silently repeated: Wifey. Baby.

---

Fang Chen was truly exhausted, especially since it was his first time performing a mental soothing. He slept for a whole day. When he woke up, it was already dark outside. He was the only one left in the room.

Fang Chen habitually looked for his little sheep, only remembering after a few seconds that the little sheep was now being held captive by the grey wolf. He groggily got up and walked downstairs. After sleeping for a day, his stomach was very hungry, and he wanted to see if there was anything to eat.

Because he was too sleepy, he went downstairs with one eye open and one eye closed. He didn’t see the step clearly and his body pitched forward, almost falling. Fang Chen subconsciously closed his eyes tightly, already preparing for the pain.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t fall on the hard floor, but instead plunged into a scorching hot chest. The man held him tightly. Because of the position, Fang Chen’s entire face was buried in the man’s chest muscles. Although there was a layer of cloth, because he had just seen it that morning, it was very easy to recall the scenery of that place. This… this is too stimulating.

Fang Chen’s face was squished, pressed against Seth’s chest. After struggling for a few seconds, just as he thought he should lift his head, Seth suddenly reached out and pressed his head back down.

Fang Chen: “???”

The man said in a deep voice, “Don’t look. I’m afraid you’ll cry.”

??? What?

The more Seth said that, the more Fang Chen struggled to lift his head. He looked past Seth and saw the scene behind him.

Fang Chen broke down.

Damn it! How could they lick his little sheep into such a state?
