Rejected by My Crush, Now I'm Pampered by an Alien Boyfriend

All Ling Yunhua ever wanted… was him—her childhood friend, her first love. After years of silently carrying her feelings for Tang Shixiu, Yunhua finally finds the courage to confess. But after all the mixed signals and lingering hope, he rejects her—coldly, without hesitation—shattering the only dream she ever held close. Devastated and on the edge of giving up on everything… that’s when he appears—like an angel fallen from the stars. A man from beyond the galaxy crosses paths with Yunhua at her lowest point. From a race that erased emotions long ago, he begins to feel something foreign… something human. Something like love. But danger closes in fast. The research organization Yunhua works for—and the government—are secretly hunting him down after discovering that his alien DNA holds the power to cure any disease. Determined to protect him, Yunhua makes a dangerous choice: she hides him under the lie of being her boyfriend. Now they live together. A clueless, awkward alien learning to feel… and a girl torn between duty and the growing storm in her heart. How long can she keep him hidden in a world desperate to dissect him? And when the time comes for him to return to the stars… will she be able to let him go? **** Excerpt~ {Research Center} “We need that creature. Dead or alive—I don’t care! I want that alien DNA, no matter what!” I said firmly, my voice echoing through the sterile walls, leaving no room for doubt among the researchers. “Am I clear?” I shouted, eyes sharp. “Yes, ma’am!” they all responded in unison. I stepped closer, voice louder. “Am I clear?!” “YES, MA’AM!!” The entire research floor echoed with obedience. “Good. Don’t leave a single inch of land, water, or sky unchecked. Find that alien!” ---- {At Home} I opened the door with my key and stepped in, quickly locking it behind me. And there he was—standing in the kitchen, wearing an cute apron, his two small antennae glowing on his forehead. His silver-white eyes sparkle when he saw me. He walked out, tall and warm, holding a spoon in one hand and smiling softly. So cute! “Welcome home. How was your day, love?” he asked in his playful but caring tone, wrapping his arms around me. I leaned into his chest, letting out a tired sigh. “Mmm… It was rough. I gave this whole scary speech at work—told them to find you dead or alive, take your DNA, blah blah… I’m so tired…” He laughed softly, resting his chin on my head. “You’re a scary Earth girl… sending people after me like that? I’m shaking.” I looked up at him, still in his arms, and gave a small pout. “Good. You better be scared of me… or I’ll take your DNA myself!” “Hmph.” I was supposed to turn him in… not fall in love. **** Additional Tags: #slowburn #sci-fi #funny #manipulation #betrayal
