Cheng Xingxing woke up to the truth: he was a cannon-fodder omega in a melodramatic ABO novel.
He fawned over the protagonist gong, losing his parents and his future in the process, and even falling out with Xie Xun, the alpha childhood friend who had grown up with him.
Then he died at the very moment the protagonist gong fell in love, becoming the eternal white moonlight in the protagonist gong's heart.
Cheng Xingxing: Screw that. Why should I have to put up with it?
In the original story, the protagonist gong had a cruel personality early on. He made Cheng Xingxing kneel to polish his shoes, drop out of school and sleep in a bathtub, and act like a dog and bark.
Controlled by the plot, Cheng Xingxing did it all, hating himself only because he wasn't fawning well enough.
His childhood friend Xie Xun rescued him time and again, standing up for him again and again, eyes red as he told Cheng Xingxing he could give him anything.
But Cheng Xingxing pushed Xie Xun away again and again, shouting at him to get lost.
Their relationship sank to rock bottom.
At the end of the story, several years after his death, Xie Xun reappeared as the biggest villain in the novel, intent on making the protagonist gong and shou pay for Cheng Xingxing's death.
The villain couldn't defeat the protagonists. The protagonist gong and shou got their happy ending, while Xie Xun died in an explosion at sea. And that was the end of the story.
Cheng Xingxing: Damn that protagonist gong. Damn this plot.
As luck would have it, he woke up six months after he'd started fawning over the protagonist gong, and after he and Xie Xun had already fallen out.
Cheng Xingxing: You're my best friend, my best buddy, the most important person in my heart. Xie Xun, can you give me one more chance? Just watch me prove myself.
Xie Xun: Kiss me.
Cheng Xingxing: O.o? Xie Xun, I think I must have misheard. I heard you tell me to kiss you.
Well, they're best friends anyway. What's wrong with one little kiss?
Cheng Xingxing innocently pressed a kiss to Xie Xun's cheek, only for Xie Xun to pull him down and kiss him hard.
Xie Xun: Is there anything else you want to tell me?
Cheng Xingxing, who had just lost his first kiss, looked at Xie Xun with fond exasperation. "Well, a kiss is a kiss. We're the best, best, best of friends anyway."
Xie Xun: …
Xie Xun and Cheng Xingxing grew up together, sharing meals and a home, closer than anyone.
Cheng Xingxing said they were best friends and would stay together for life, but after meeting that scummy A, he told Xie Xun to get lost.
After half a year of cold war, Cheng Xingxing suddenly left the scummy A's home one night and ran to the roadside to call him, pitifully calling him "gege" and begging him to forgive him.
Xie Xun told him to turn around. Cheng Xingxing didn't know that Xie Xun had been following him the whole time.
Cheng Xingxing finally stopped throwing himself at that scummy A.
Cheng Xingxing would softly ask to sleep with him, saying he couldn't fall asleep without him. When his first heat came, he would call Xie Xun immediately, lean close to his glands, and sniff, saying he smelled so good. He would let Xie Xun kiss him, and even become so addicted to it that he would take the initiative and seek out his kisses.
But every time, Cheng Xingxing would only say they were best friends.
Xie Xun bit through his glands and flooded them with all of his alpha pheromones.
"Are we still best friends like this?" Xie Xun asked.
"You're the most important person in my heart," Cheng Xingxing answered dizzily.
Slow-witted little Xingxing, pitiful little Xingxing, Xie Xun's little Xingxing.
"I love you."
If little Xingxing is too slow to catch on, then his mute lover Xie Xun will have to take the initiative and draw closer.
