Short Story
(Stubborn, “timid” Omega x cold, “heartless” Alpha)
After an accidental encounter at the airport, Si Jingbai helped Qi Jiang out of a difficult situation.
Reluctantly, Si Jingbai reminded him, “Kids shouldn't talk to strangers so casually.” He was usually the type to mind his own business, but today he'd made an exception for this kid.
“I wasn't trying to talk to him. I'm not a kid. I'm already twenty-five.” Qi Jiang disliked the accusation hidden in his tone.
Twenty-five? Him? Si Jingbai couldn't hide his surprise as he glanced sideways at him. With his fresh-faced, youthful looks, he didn't seem a day over twenty.
“If you're an adult, then stop dressing so childishly. You look like you could be kidnapped at any moment.”
“I'm not childish!” Qi Jiang retorted instinctively.
“Grown men don't carry stuffed animals around for no reason.”
Si Jingbai frowned at the fluffy toy. “It's not a toy, it's a backpack!” Qi Jiang clarified. He could clearly see the disdain in Si Jingbai's eyes.
“A backpack is supposed to be practical. Yours is obviously just decorative. Only immature children like things like that,” Si Jingbai stated calmly.
“It can hold a lot of stuff,” Qi Jiang insisted.
“Suit yourself.”
Qi Jiang's inner thoughts: What? What's wrong with this guy?!
It's okay! It's pretty! 😁
