The Fool Everyone Hated Has Come to His Senses

When he was little, Xu Chao’s fever damaged his brain. From then on, he became the foolish omega of the Xu family in City A, as everyone called him.

His eldest brother said that no one could ever like an idiot like him. If he hadn’t had a high compatibility with Xiao Changyi and been of some use, he would have been kicked out of the Xu family long ago.

After hearing that, Xu Chao cried until his eyes were red and ran to ask his second brother if it was true. His second brother glanced at him and smiled faintly. He said Xu Chao really was an idiot, unable to see even something that obvious.

Xu Chao’s eyes were swollen from crying, like two little peaches. His mother thought he looked awful, so she tried to comfort him. She said Chaochao and Big Brother Xiaoyi had grown up together, and wasn’t Big Brother Xiaoyi very fond of Chaochao?

Xiao Changyi was the only son of the Xiao family. He had grown up with Xu Chao and was the only person who would patiently listen to him.

Xu Chao wasn’t very clever, but over the course of more than ten years, he had gradually realized that his family didn’t really like him.

But that was all right. Xiao Changyi liked him, and that was enough.

Xiao Changyi would secretly give him nice-smelling pheromones behind Uncle and Auntie Xiao’s backs. He would carry him home to the Xu family when he was tired from playing, and ask the Xiao family’s housekeeper to make his favorite apple pie.

Xu Chao liked Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi was the best.

Just as the omega rules, abolished long ago by the equality movement, prescribed, Xu Chao began learning how to be a good wife when he was very young.

Xu Chao always listened to Xiao Changyi.

When Xiao Changyi said that eating candy would ruin his teeth, Xu Chao, who loved candy more than anything, would hold back and not eat a single piece.

When Xiao Changyi forbade him from getting close to other alphas, Xu Chao wouldn’t even let his two older brothers touch him.

When Xiao Changyi wanted to mark him early, Xu Chao obediently bared his pale nape for him to bite.

On the day he was thrown out of the Xiao family, Xu Chao ran into his arms crying, hoping Xiao Changyi would hug him again, just one last time.

It didn’t matter if nobody else liked him. You couldn’t live on love, and Xu Chao knew how to arrange flowers and sell them. He could support himself.

But he loved Xiao Changyi. He wanted to hug him one last time.

Xiao Changyi pushed him away coldly and said he hated being lied to more than anything.

His eldest brother watched Xiao Changyi and sneered. “He’s just a little idiot, anyway. If Young Master Xiao doesn’t want him, then throw him away. There’s nothing to gain from making such a fuss.”

The young master of the Xu family became a stray dog kicked out of his home.

But Xu Chao’s simple mind couldn’t hold many things at once. He didn’t know what breed a stray dog was. All he knew was that opening a flower shop with his good friend made him happy.

He no longer had to follow all the Xu family’s rules, wait hungry for his father and brothers to start eating, or spend every day gauging everyone’s mood. But people still hated him.

Xu Chao arranged flowers quickly and beautifully, and the shop did well every day. Xu Chao was happy.

Xu Chao didn’t need their love anymore.
