After Falling in Love with My Enigma Brother

"Brilliant, cold-faced, fiery top x scheming, sweet, and soft bottom, an EO romance"

At the start of his freshman year, Jiang Xu moves under the same roof as the son of his mother's boyfriend.

Xie Ruzhuo comes from a wealthy family and has a cool, noble bearing. Unlike other stinking Alphas, who release their pheromones at the drop of a hat, he is a perfect, self-disciplined big brother.

That is, if they hadn't accidentally ended up in bed together.

Jiang Xu gets to see another side of Xie Ruzhuo: sensitive, suspicious, endlessly craving hugs and kisses, and needing to know where Jiang Xu is at every moment.

Jiang Xu does his best to satisfy his needs, all so that when the day comes to break up, they can part on good terms.

But Xie Ruzhuo's possessiveness only grows, and he often smiles as he says things that make Jiang Xu's scalp crawl.

“Baby, someone else's pheromones are on you. You're really... being naughty.”

“Listen to your big brother. You need to wash up properly.”

His mother announces that she plans to remarry, and Jiang Xu resolves to study abroad and break up with Xie Ruzhuo.

Leaving proves easier than he expected. Though his relationship with Xie Ruzhuo was absurd, at least it has come to an end.

Jiang Xu sees Xie Ruzhuo again several months later.

At the banquet, the Alpha chats with others, his expression cool and distant, as though Jiang Xu were an insignificant stranger.

Jiang Xu thinks he's moved on. Mindful of his status as an ex, he doesn't try to bother him, never noticing the dark gaze following closely behind him.

When Jiang Xu regains consciousness, he is already on an island somewhere in the South Pacific.

The sea stretches in every direction. The overpowering scent of bitter orange fills the house and leaves his limbs weak. Xie Ruzhuo kisses him with lowered lashes, his expression calm, yet his desire boundless.

“Baby, tell me you won't leave me.”

“You won't say it?”

“Do you know? An Enigma's lifelong mark can't be washed away.”

Jiang Xu finally realizes that Xie Ruzhuo is not only an Enigma, but a complete lunatic.

*1v1, both leads' first time, sweet romance! The bottom's mother does not marry the top's father, and the two leads have never been related by law or blood. The top is very possessive, while the bottom is gentle but has his own principles.
