Arthur is holding the suitcase in his left hand, wandering the streets with his mobile phone in his right hand and turning on the navigation. He has walked back and forth on this road three times, but he still hasn't found the home of his "husband" who will live with him for a year.

Unfortunately, like other Omegas, Arthur identified secondary sexual characteristics during his physical examination at the age of 6.What's even more unfortunate is that in his 23 years of life, he hasn't found a partner who can spend his life with him, let alone an Alpha, and he doesn't even have a Beta, so that he just passed his birthday, and his various bodies The data is imported into the global gene bank, and quickly matched with Alphas who are 20 years old but have no formal marriage contract all over the world, so as to give birth to the next generation earlier and save this human society whose fertility rate has continued to decline for hundreds of years.

Arthur sighed, and finally dialed the number stored in the shortcut key 1.

"beep--"

1 second, 2 seconds... Arthur was thinking silently in his heart, and as expected, at the 5th second, the gentle and rhythmic beeping sound was replaced by a noisy sound.Although they only talked three times, Arthur felt that the other party's "energy" could penetrate the microphone every time.

"Hey, is that Arthur?"

"Yes, I'm near your street now, but I can't locate the exact address no matter what, can you come down and pick me up?"

"It may be that the students of W University are tossing the jammer again, and the signal is not good. Then where are you now? Are there any iconic buildings nearby??"

Arthur looked around, and the buildings that came into view were all of the same style, American-style single-family houses and simple courtyards, except for the puppet cat that had been following his feet, everything else was dull .

"Uh... they all look similar in the neighborhood, except that there is a puppet cat that keeps following me around, maybe this is its territory?" Arthur knelt down and couldn't help but caressed the fluffy puppet cat, "You Do you know where this might be?"

There was a burst of exaggerated laughter from the other side of the microphone, and Arthur quickly moved the phone away in fright, "Just follow it, it will take you away."

When Arthur was still in a state of confusion, the puppet cat slid away from under his hand with a meow, took two steps forward, and then turned back to stare at Arthur who was stunned aside.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Arthur said with a low smile. "Well, I don't know where to go anyway. You can't be the cat of the Jones family, right? It's not recorded in his information that He has cats."

The puppet cat was fed fat, but its movements were not procrastinated at all. It ran to the left and jumped agilely. It first ran to the fence beside it, then turned to look at Arthur, and saw that he was still pulling the box and following him. Behind him, he wagged his tail contentedly and turned into the side alley.

"So there is still a road here." Arthur sighed, he just walked back and forth a few times but didn't find that there was another path beside him.

"Hey, Arthur!" There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the end of the road. Due to the backlight, Arthur could only half-close his eyes, looking at the figure who was getting closer and closer to him.Arthur suddenly had an unreal illusion, feeling that all this is too unreal, just a short day, he will reach a "marriage" with the person who ran over in the next year, although it is a "marriage" under the government Marriage by Agreement".

"You are Arthur Kirkland? I'm Alfred F. Jones. As I said before, you can just call me Al." Alfred rushed to Arthur, not angry Panting, the sun at dusk coated his blond hair with a layer of warm light, and there was a pleasant smell of Alpha pheromone from his body, just like the warm water vapor from the North Atlantic Ocean.

This caused Arthur to be in a trance again, and the surrounding houses and small courtyards disappeared in an instant, leaving only Alfred. Alpha's pheromones came in from all directions, penetrated his clothes, and kept on him. spinning on the body.And Arthur was also exuding his own scent towards Alpha, just like the most primitive instinct, and the two of them involuntarily had an "in-depth communication" that was more direct than any dialogue.

"Yes... yes." Arthur still couldn't react, "Is this your cat?"

"I don't know where the cat came from. It has been wandering around my house, but it just refuses to go in." Alfred glanced at the puppet cat that had been spinning around Arthur's feet, and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket. to it.

Arthur was about to say that cats don't know how to eat chocolate, when he saw the puppet cat grabbing Alfred's hand and licking the chocolate happily, so scared that Arthur put down the suitcase and hugged him. Made a puppet cat.

"Stupid! Cats can't eat chocolate!"

"Really? I saw it eating so happily. I still have potato chips and donuts here. Would you like it?" Alfred dug out another small bag of donuts from his pocket and handed it to the puppet cat. before.

"You can't eat potato chips and donuts either!" Arthur carefully held the cat in his arms. Although this ragdoll cat is a stray cat, its weight doesn't look like it has experienced a difficult life. Could it be because of Alfredo? Has Germany been feeding such high-calorie food all the time?

"Are you going to adopt it? Is this our first child?" Alfred jokingly pulled Arthur's suitcase.

Arthur's hands trembled, his feet staggered, and he almost dropped the puppet cat to the ground.

"It seems that you don't have a sense of humor at all." Alfred said leisurely, he walked to the end of the path first, stopped in front of the small two-story house, and called Arthur to come over.

Arthur hugged the cat and hurried to catch up.In front of the house was a small garden with only lush weeds and no flowers. Arthur couldn't help frowning.

"I live here alone now," Alfred opened the door, held the suitcase in one hand, and took Arthur's wrist with the other, introducing him to the situation of the house, "There is a small room upstairs and sundries Room, uh, I forgot what’s in it, anyway, people from the Omega Association have checked it a few days ago, so don’t worry about it.”

Arthur nodded and did not speak. He is not too picky about the living environment, as long as it is not too dirty and messy. "Then where is the kitchen?"

Alfred opened the door, put Arthur's suitcase away, dragged him downstairs, and quickly ran to the living room to sit on the sofa and turn on the TV, "I almost forgot, did you watch it?" ! "Spider-Man"! Although it has been broadcast several times."

Arthur didn't quite understand his interest, shook his head and sat on the sofa next to him.He saw that the coffee table was full of leftover potato chips and ordinary Coke, and glanced at the wall clock above the refrigerator, clearly pointing to five o'clock, "Is this afternoon tea?"

Alfred leaned against the back of the sofa with a bucket of popcorn in his arms, thought for a while and replied, "This is afternoon tea around the clock."

Well, he shouldn't be tangling with Americans like that, Arthur murmured to himself.

"Hey, you just asked where the kitchen is? Then you should be good at cooking?" Alfred was a little excited, his menu could have options other than burgers and pizza, although he was sure that his favorite food was still burgers .

"I often cook." Arthur was a little guilty, and corrected Alfred's not rigorous statement.

Alfred gave a "I understand" look, and Arthur felt even more guilty. He thought that his cooking skills were of course impeccable, but there were always people who held the opposite opinion, and they still opposed it fiercely, which led to Feeling off balance with himself, Arthur decides to change the subject.

"Let's talk about what's going on in the coming year. Do you have a girlfriend? Or a boyfriend? I don't care at all, at all, at all. You can continue dating. After all, 'contract marriage' is not you. I think What's important, this is just an evil law that violates the free will of human beings!"

"No, if there is, shouldn't one be married to escape the 'marriage by agreement'?"

"That's true." Arthur was a little embarrassed, and subconsciously touched his hot cheeks. The room was filled with Alfred's pheromones, which were much stronger than the outdoors just now. Didn't he learn how to restrain himself from emitting Pheromone skills?

"Arthur, why don't you find an Alpha friend to get married first, and skip the Omega Association to force a partner?" Alfred put down the popcorn bucket in his hand, and picked up the puppet cat that got into the potato chip bag with one hand.

"I haven't found a suitable one." Arthur replied bluntly, his life circle is pitifully small, what if he finds an Alpha to marry at random, and he refuses to divorce in the end.The current society does not allow unilateral divorce. Only the two parties agree to divorce. It is better to follow the "marriage by agreement" of the Omega Association. After all, if the two parties do not want to and have no children, the marriage will be dissolved automatically. Good idea.

Alfred shook the Ragdoll cat lightly, letting the potato chip crumbs off its body, he nodded and said clearly, with a little complacency in his voice, "After all, not all Alphas are as rich as I am. Heroism."

Arthur rubbed his temples, but he couldn't complain about Alfred's egoistic attitude. Alpha's pheromone is getting stronger and stronger. This kind of genetic matching makes the two people more susceptible to each other's influence, "Alfred De, can you control the pheromone?"

"I've been hanging around with Alpha all this time, I almost forgot you're an Omega, sorry." Alfred immediately put down the Ragdoll, and opened all the windows.

"Let's discuss it together now, after all, we still have to live for a year."

Alfred nodded in agreement, "I live on the first floor, and you live on the second floor. It's okay to share everything except the room, right?"

"Yes, I don't make noise. I usually go to bed at [-] o'clock in the evening and get up at [-] o'clock in the morning. I have no problem with pets and will help clean up."

Alfred looked unbelievable, "Sleep at ten o'clock, Arthur, are you really 23 years old? It sounds like the life of 83 years old. I sleep irregularly, usually go to W University to attend classes, and occasionally work part-time and hold parties, you Don't you mind?"

"This is your home." It's useless for me to mind, Arthur didn't say this, "Then we are like tenants and landlords who live together for a year, let's make an agreement in three chapters, and don't disturb each other's life Second, provide help when necessary, and third, pretend to be husband and wife for government inspections?"

"That's it, anyway, it's only a year, and it will pass soon." Alfred stretched out his right hand.

"Yeah, we will return to our original life after one year." Arthur also stretched out his right hand and shook it.

"Alfred F. Jones and Arthur Kirkland are now legal partners."
