After Marking Commander O, I was Forced to a Flash Marriage

—I can’t be without you…

Upon hearing this, Ren Qingqiu felt a rush of heat in her ears.

She realized she had never encountered such words before.

Widening her eyes, she lifted her head from Bai Yuxi’s shoulder.

“My life turned upside down because of you. I not only craved your pheromones, but everything about you disturbed me. I couldn’t bear to be apart from you now; my values shifted because of you…”

Bai Yuxi looked at the tear mole beneath Ren Qingqiu’s left eye, feeling a sense of irritation as she pressed her hand to her forehead.

She knew that encountering someone so fundamentally different from herself remained rare.

Ren Qingqiu offered more than just her stunning beauty and delightful honeysuckle scent; she brimmed with thoughts and interests entirely distinct from Bai Yuxi’s own.

—It felt as if she excelled with firearms while I was skilled with knives. I had a serious temperament, while she embodied a carefree spirit. We represented entirely different individuals with divergent preferences. Yet she seemed to possess everything I lacked—regardless of whether I liked it or not.

Even the things Bai Yuxi found annoying gained value when associated with Ren Qingqiu, rendering them far less bothersome to her.

This wasn’t a good tendency, but she accepted it with a calm demeanor.

With her eyelashes lowered, her expression appeared quite unhappy as she muttered, “Ren Qingqiu, you really were so annoying.”

Bai Yuxi complained in a low voice.

Ren Qingqiu observed her expression and offered a faint smile.

She felt as though she understood how Bai Yuxi cared for her.

A wave of emotion surged within her.

Though Bai Yuxi rarely uttered sweet words or performed gentle acts, everything she did seemed driven by intent rather than emotion. Even so, she gradually offered Ren Qingqiu the good things she found.

Bai Yuxi secretly bought gifts for Ren Qingqiu, quietly watched her own recordings, and shed tears over things that saddened her.

In this world, Bai Yuxi became the first person who treated her so well.

Bai Yuxi remained more aware than Ren Qingqiu that their personalities clashed. Under normal circumstances, Bai Yuxi would have found Ren Qingqiu intolerable. They differed in every conceivable way, possessing entirely distinct qualities.

However, the large feline genuinely seemed to care for her. Although it remained subtle, Bai Yuxi always appeared to hoard things she loved—like food—afraid that even a little would be discovered.

Whenever Ren Qingqiu inquired about it, Bai Yuxi asserted that it represented food essential for her survival.

Reflecting on this, Ren Qingqiu couldn’t help but pull Bai Yuxi into a tight embrace.

“Commander, did you just want me to be a bit more cautious?”

Bai Yuxi, held in such a way, fell silent for a moment. After a long pause, she replied earnestly, “Don’t die.”

Ren Qingqiu felt a flush of embarrassment and bit her lip. She buried her head in Bai Yuxi’s shoulder and replied, “That might be a bit difficult, commander.”

“…No wonder others said you were useless,” Bai Yuxi grumbled, her tone tinged with displeasure.

“I thought that was beyond what a human could manage; promising it would be a lie,” Ren Qingqiu laughed softly with a sigh.
