Mimi, Come Here

[Yu Feng, Alpha vs. Li Xingyi, Omega]

[Possessive, cat-loving big shot vs. Sunny, outgoing, lucky-to-a-fault big tiger who wears himself out]

[Teng Snake vs. Adorable Tiger]

Being born into a good family is a matter of luck, and Li Xingyi was clearly blessed by fate: a wealthy Alpha father and a beautiful Omega dad. It was only natural that he grew up to be a handsome rich kid.

In a world where people judge you by your looks and your money, what could someone like him possibly have to worry about?

Plenty, brother. Plenty.

Li Xingyi looked at yet another muscular Alpha who claimed to adore him, only to faint on the spot when Li Xingyi turned back into his true form. Heartbroken, he wrapped his arms around his enormous self.

That’s right. Li Xingyi was an Omega whose true form was a mighty white tiger with striking eyes and a white forehead. The beautiful AO romance he’d imagined had melted away like butter.

How annoying.

When would he finally be able to post one of those seemingly emo, actually bragging, public relationship announcements on his feed? “I don’t need lots and lots of money. I just want lots and lots of love.”

Unable to sleep after stuffing himself with a late-night snack, Li Xingyi gazed at his phone and sighed gloomily.

But now! All of that! Was in the past!

Li Xingyi was napping in a recliner in his brother’s office when he opened his eyes and saw a handsome stranger.

The handsome stranger saw him wake up, smiled warmly, and beckoned. “Mimi, come here.”

Huh? Li Xingyi looked down at himself in confusion. Oh, he must have been so comfortable that he’d accidentally changed back into his true form.

Huh?!!!

A handsome Alpha was looking at his true form and calling him “Mimi,” instead of “Oh my god, that’s a huge tiger, someone save me”???

Li Xingyi was shocked. Li Xingyi was overjoyed. Li Xingyi was deeply moved. Carefully, he climbed down from the recliner he’d crushed flat and asked the brave handsome stranger, “I’m Mimi? Handsome, are you extremely nearsighted?”

The handsome Alpha smiled again. As Li Xingyi stared in disbelief, he calmly reached out and rubbed the tiger’s head. “Aren’t you Mimi? Hmm… You feel nice. So fluffy and soft.”

Good heavens, what a fearless Alpha, a true Wu Song. Li Xingyi was lost in admiration. Enough, don’t say another word. Mimi it is. I hereby declare you my first love, young master’s first love. Hurry up and take a picture with me so I can post it.

Li Xingyi later found out that his first love was named Yu Feng, a domineering CEO even richer than his dad. But this tall, long-legged Alpha’s true form was an unremarkable little black snake, the kind Li Xingyi could flatten with a single paw.

Oh well, nobody’s perfect, Li Xingyi thought. It was already impressive that he’d managed to get into a relationship. A little black snake it is. Look, this little snake even has a pair of tiny wings on its back. How cute.

To keep his hard-won boyfriend from running away, Li Xingyi did his best to play the easygoing big cat who let himself be petted and cuddled. He not only let the little snake sleep on his soft belly, he even gave in to temptation and let it touch his tiger bell…

This is great, Li Xingyi thought. Dating really is fun.

Once Li Xingyi had gotten his fill of romance and played Mimi long enough, he was ready to pull on his pants and deny everything. He briskly asked for a breakup, but the usually easygoing Alpha refused, with uncharacteristic firmness.

Li Xingyi got angry and changed back into his true form, letting out a tiger’s roar.

You think I’m just a cute kitty because I haven’t shown you my fangs? If you like Mimi so much, go get yourself a cat!

After roaring, Li Xingyi turned away with confidence, ready to leave, only to find his path blocked by an enormous creature that had suddenly appeared.

Oh my god, that’s a huge snake, someone save me!!!

Before Li Xingyi could scream, the sinister giant snake coiled around him. “Darling, can I keep being your boyfriend and keep calling you Mimi?”

Li Xingyi: …

Li Xingyi: “Meow. Meow, meow.”

Happy ending.

"The Koala Is Hungry"

[Jiang Zhijian, Alpha vs. Jiang Qili, Omega]

[Jealous schemer with a serious face vs. lazy, adorable dummy who starves without eucalyptus leaves and turns silly after eating them]

[The blue gum tree koalas love most vs. a slow-moving koala through and through]

Young Mr. Jiang Zhijian has had a rough run of luck. After falling for his wicked stepmother’s scheme, his biased father “temporarily” kicked him out of the family business and sent him to “lay low” in a beautiful village with fresh air.

Standing in the mud of a remote, impoverished county in the middle of nowhere, Jiang Zhijian let out a cold laugh.

The young master had barely begun adjusting to his fall from grace when a scrawny little beggar latched onto him.

The little beggar clung to Jiang Zhijian and wouldn’t let go. “Hungry… food… food.”

Jiang Zhijian: ?

Jiang Zhijian donated money and tried both kind words and harsh ones, but the boy kept following him. Running out of patience, Jiang Zhijian released a thin thread of his Alpha pheromones, hoping to force the little beggar to leave.

Along with his pheromones came leaves from his true form. When the beggar boy saw the eucalyptus leaves, his hungry, vacant eyes lit up like high-powered bulbs.

Jiang Zhijian watched as the little beggar excitedly, but very slowly, picked up his poisonous leaves and put them in his mouth. Then he watched the boy slowly climb onto his back, using both hands and feet. He began to have a bad feeling.

Jiang Zhijian shook the already-dizzy little beggar on his back and gritted his teeth.

There’s a koala in this godforsaken backwater?!

*

Jiang Qili’s true form was a koala.

He knew nothing about his parents or where he came from. All he knew was that he needed a eucalyptus tree of his own, a place to live and a source of energy to keep him alive.

There were nearly a thousand kinds of eucalyptus trees in the world, but only a handful were edible to koalas. In this little village, he could find neither edible eucalyptus nor a eucalyptus beastfolk.

By then, the low-energy koala Jiang Qili was living in Jiang Zhijian’s grand mansion in the capital. Hugging a cushion, he tried to work through the logic above and concluded that he was incredibly lucky to have found Jiang Zhijian, a blue gum tree.

So Jiang Qili slowly put down the cushion, slowly kissed Jiang Zhijian, who was cracking walnuts for him, and slowly said, “Thank you. Your tree is really nice.”

Jiang Zhijian: “What’s so nice about it?”

Jiang Qili racked his nearly devolved brain for a long time. “You… you let me climb your tree.”

Jiang Zhijian put down the walnuts and sighed. “This variety isn’t good. I’ll buy you another kind.” After eating so many, he still hadn’t grown a single koala brain cell.

Jiang Qili didn’t understand at all. “I… I think they’re fine.” They still weren’t as tasty as eucalyptus leaves.

Jiang Zhijian smiled and picked up his koala, whispering in his ear, “Silly Qili, I mean you on top of the tree.”
