Xie Wang waited until midnight but still didn't receive the so-called "forcing marriage" phone call.
To make sure his dad wasn't too busy and missed any news, he even called home.
"What is it?" his dad asked.
"Has anyone looked for me to get married?" Xie Wang asked.
"No. Now go to bed," his dad replied. "Didn't you say earlier there wasn't a single omega you wanted to sleep with? How can I find someone to marry you in the middle of the night?"
Xie Wang: "..."
Huh? This is stolen from https://chipoholictranslations.blogspot.com/p/homepage.html
Based on Lin Jianlu's extremely traditional and rigid thinking, after sleeping together, the next step is to get married!
He looked through Lin Jianlu's Moments, but there were no updates.
I'll just wait a bit longer. No need to rush.
The Lins must be discussing a marriage plan.
By tomorrow at the latest, their marriage should be in the works.
Three days passed.
Still no forced marriage. Xie Wang packed up and went home, attending a business circle banquet with his brother.
The Lins were also present.
At the banquet, Lin Ming received a phone call, and his expression suddenly darkened. He downed three glasses of red wine, set down his glass, and looked around as if locking on to Xie Wang's direction, then started walking toward him.
It's finally happening.
Come on!
Xie Wang clenched his fists.
The word "Dad" was on the tip of his tongue, ready to burst out at any moment.
Xie Wang: "D..."
Lin Ming stormed over toward him... straight to the restroom behind him. With a loud retch, he vomited, then staggered off in a drunken daze without even glancing at Xie Wang.
Xie Wang: "..."
Something's not right.
All the signs pointed to one thing—
Lin Jianlu didn't rat him out.
But that shouldn't be the case. Isn't this exactly how things played out before his rebirth?
Stick to the process!
The next day, Xie Wang returned to the film set, where the shooting of "Hidden Blade" was still in progress.
Lin Jianlu had arrived early in the morning. The omega was sitting in the sun, holding a page of the script, discussing something with the director.
"...You'll sing the song, and as for the music video, you can shoot it with Da Wang. Handling it in-house will save us money," the director said.
"What are you discussing?" Xie Wang asked, stopping in his tracks.
"We're talking about the customization of the end-credits song," the director explained. "You've recorded six episodes of Seeking Sound, right? I have a hunch that in the next few years, Lin Jianlu is going to dominate the OSTs of all major dramas and movies."
Your hunch is correct.
Xie Wang said inwardly.
"Since you're also in this film, you should have some ideas for the end-credits song," the director continued. "The music video will be a microfilm, and it's up to Da Wang to design the storyline."
Lin Jianlu: "Sounds good."
Xie Wang: "Sure, so are we focusing on the plot or the relationship?"
"We'll go for the emotional angle," the director said. "It's the end of the movie, so we want something warm and sentimental."
"Alright, it's settled then," the director said as he stood up. "Check out the script for the coming scenes, and if there's anything you don't understand, ask Da Wang or Chen Yimo right away."
The director left.
Now, in the small makeshift tent they were using for a break, only Xie Wang and Lin Jianlu were left.
Suddenly, the space felt much smaller.
Xie Wang sat down across from Lin Jianlu, staring at him intently.
Hurry up and push for marriage, I want to marry you.
Xie Wang said to himself.
The look Lin Jianlu gave him was impossible to describe.
Xie Wang: "?"
Today, he was determined to figure out what exactly was going on in this person's head.
Having a temporary mark felt unlike anything else.
Sitting there, he couldn't shake the thought that the omega in front of him was his, and he wanted to pull him into his arms and pet him.
The omega should be feeling the effects of the temporary mark even more strongly than he was.
Before he was reborn, Xie Wang had often reinforced the temporary mark on the back of Lin Jianlu's neck.
But when it came to comforting him with his pheromones, he had almost never done that.
Only when he had Lin Jianlu pinned beneath him, pushed to the brink of collapse, with the omega's sweaty, flushed cheeks and half-open, tearful eyes gazing up at him, would Xie Wang offer a small amount of pheromone comfort.
So this time when they got married again, he vowed to treat Lin Jianlu exceptionally well.
So for heavens' sake, set the trap already.
"Senior," Lin Jianlu spoke up, drawing a line on the script. "How should I act in this part?"
Xie Wang: "?" He's seriously focused on the script?
"Let me see," Xie Wang said, reaching out for the script. "Ah, this part… we'll need to use wires. I'll talk to them about it in a bit."
The script described a scene where the sicko criminal suspends the omega by his wrists with thin wires. Obviously, they couldn't film this directly—it would hurt Lin Jianlu.
"Oh," Lin Jianlu replied, lowering his gaze to his wrists.
Just two days ago, faint bruises and red marks still lingered on those wrists.
The alpha was very strong. Even when he tried to be gentle, there was no hiding the natural instincts coded in his genes.
When it hurt, Lin Jianlu tried to push him away, but Xie Wang gripped his wrists and pinned them on the pillow.
In a husky, low voice, close to his ear, Xie Wang asked, "Satisfied?"
Very satisfied.
It feels so good.
The alpha he fancied was indeed the best.
At least for this week, he didn't want any more sex.
Xie Wang did him twice that night, so he probably…shouldn't want it for now either, right?
Xie Wang observed his family's Lin Jianlu for a long time.
The omega stared at his wrists for about thirty seconds before his face flushed slightly.
Then Lin Jianlu glanced at him, and for a brief moment, a hint of…satisfaction flashed in those clear, cold eyes.

Lin Jianlu then stopped looking at him and focused on the script again.
"YoYo," Xie Wang couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you forgotten to do something?"
Come on, come get married already!
Lin Jianlu thought for a moment: "Yeah."
Xie Wang's eyes lit up.
Lin Jianlu: "I forgot to change into my costume."
Xie Wang: "…"
No problem, Lin Jianlu can't wear that wedding dress well anyway.
Go on, say it; cast your hook.
Next, Lin Jianlu should say something like "Such a hassle" or "How do I do this?" and then Xie Wang could smoothly step in and get intimate.
But instead, Lin Jianlu took the wedding dress off the mannequin, held it in his arms, and headed to the nanny car to change.
His movements were quick and efficient, no hesitation, and he left without even a single interjection.
Xie Wang: "???"
Inside the nanny car, Lin Jianlu quietly and carefully put on the wedding dress, which was being used as a costume.
The textbooks were right—an omega who has been temporarily marked develops emotional dependence on the alpha who marked them.
He wanted to be hugged, he wanted to be touched, and he also wanted to be... mercilessly f*cked.
To avoid accidentally shooting the gun, he chose to dress himself.
Without anyone's help, it took him quite a while to finally get the dress on, but he managed.
"Are you ready, little brother?" the makeup artist asked from outside the car. "If you're done changing, I'll come in and do your makeup."
"Ready," Lin Jianlu replied as he opened the van door.
Xie Wang and Chen Yimo were standing outside the nanny car. As soon as Chen Yimo caught sight of him from a distance, he cursed under his breath, "Holy shit!"
"This wedding dress cost 6 million?" Chen Yimo rattled off a string of expletives. "Does Lin Jianlu know?"
"Nope," Xie Wang replied casually.
There was no need to bother Lin Jianlu with such trivial details.
"So how am I supposed to act later?" Chen Yimo asked. "I love this scene, I've already thought about how to nail it."
"You're crazy," Xie Wang scoffed. "You can't bring yourself to touch a 6 million wedding dress, but you can bear to manhandle such a beautiful omega?"
"Haha," Chen Yimo chuckled. "You also think Lin Jianlu is beautiful."
That's my fucking wife, of course he's beautiful.
Xie Wang said inwardly.
"I thought people like you prefer meek and clingy little sweet Os," Chen Yimo said. "Lin Jianlu is the typical cool beauty with an elegantly indifferent personality."
No, you don't understand.
When he's clingy, he digs so many traps for me in a day that I can't even avoid all of them.
"Don't worry about it, just focus on filming." After a while, Xie Wang added, "The clothing brand covered half the cost as a sponsor of the movie."
Lin Jianlu in a wedding dress today gave Xie Wang a different feeling than he did the other day.
With wound makeup on the corners of his mouth and eyes in line with his usually cold facial features, the director couldn't stop praising him.
"This is exactly the effect I wanted," the director said. "I feel the clash between extreme beauty and destructive desire."
"You're good to go now, little brother," the makeup artist said to Lin Jianlu after finishing the final touches. "You can head to the set. They should have everything ready by now."
Lin Jianlu stood up, holding the heavy and intricate layers of the dress, and started walking slowly toward the filming spot.
The dress was so heavy that each step was a struggle, his pace slow and labored.
On the way to the set, a group of fans trying to take candid photos crowded around him.
"Wife! Is this your new look for the movie?" one fan called out enthusiastically.
"Get out of the way! Lin Jianlu's dog is here!" Another alpha fan squeezed through, holding up his phone to take pictures.
"Wife, you're too skinny, eat more!" someone else shouted.
"Move aside," Xie Wang said as he wedged himself into the crowd. "Where's security? Get these people back."
Lin Jianlu stood there in a daze, now shielded behind the alpha. Xie Wang turned to smile at him, and in a sudden motion, bent down and lifted him in a princess carry. The long white train of the wedding dress spread out over the alpha's strong arms, flowing like a stream of white light.
"Hey pervert, come help hold the train," Xie Wang shouted.
"Coming." Chen Yimo trotted over.
As his body lost balance unexpectedly, a flicker of panic flashed in Lin Jianlu's eyes and his right hand instinctively grabbed the alpha's collar.
But thinking better of it, he held onto Xie Wang's sleeve instead.
Despite the weight of the dress and accessories, Xie Wang's face remained relaxed, effortlessly carrying him to the set before gently lowering him down.
"Your fans are quite crazy," Xie Wang sneered, "Fighting to be your dog."
"Senior, thanks for your trouble," Lin Jianlu said earnestly.
"Why so formal?" Xie Wang said.
He just finally carried his bride.
The props master brought over the thin wires and ropes for the scene, carefully wrapping them around Lin Jianlu's wrists bit by bit.

Lin Jianlu glanced at them briefly but stayed silent, looking very well behaved.
"The suspension wire you'll be using is simple," Xie Wang explained. "It'll only lift your toes slightly off the ground, taking the pressure off your wrists to make sure you don't get hurt."
Lin Jianlu: "Mm."
The thin silvery wires were wrapped around the omega's slender, pale wrists. Even though Xie Wang knew it was just a prop and wouldn't actually cause harm, the sight still made him sickened.
"Wow, you look amazing," Chen Yimo came over. "I'll be sure to give my best performance later."
Xie Wang shot a glare at the fool.
The set was still being prepared, and the suspension wire lifted Lin Jianlu just enough for his feet to barely leave the ground. The props master secured his wrists, suspending him in place.
With his head slightly lowered, the omega's thin shoulders and back seemed even thinner, his black hair falling messily over his face.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Xie Wang asked, still a bit worried.
Lin Jianlu: "Not bad."
"Have you forgotten anything important recently?" Xie Wang asked.
For example, complain to your dad that some a*shole alpha bullied you, took advantage of you being "drunk" and slept with you.
Brand new alpha, slightly flawed, good looks, bad temper, but that can be fixed, cheap, waiting for forced marriage online, comes with a lot of perks. Hurry up and grab him!
Lin Jianlu thought for a moment.
Lin Jianlu said tentatively: "I think I left my student ID card by your pillow."
"And what else? Think harder," Xie Wang urged.
Ah, so there's even a student ID by my pillow, huh?
Lin Jianlu thought about it again, and asked hesitantly: "...I think I left a box of blockers in your car."
Xie Wang: "…"
Shit! If he hadn't asked, he would never have known Lin Cheese had laid so many traps around him.
But none of that mattered at the moment.
"And what else?" Xie Wang pressed anxiously. He reached out and hooked the diamond chain on the wedding dress's bodice. "Hurry up and tell me."
Lin Jianlu flinched: "......?"
"Da Wang, get out of here! We're in a rush to start filming." The director, who had been waiting with the camera crew for a while, finally shouted. "What's so important that it can't wait!!! Do you want to play the pervert or something?"
