Tempting an Alpha

[Top's POV] As a young man, Xiao Zong had a passionate romance that ended with him and his childhood friend going their separate ways. After years of wasted devotion, he finally came to his senses. Taking over the family business, he turned the tables against all odds. Just as his career was taking off, he learned that his childhood friend had returned to the country. At the same time, his family arranged a blind date for him. Xiao Zong was fed up. Every match they introduced was exactly the same: domestic, gentle, and unassuming. He would rather find a partner who could build a career alongside him. A Beta was the best choice. To avoid his childhood friend's persistent advances, Xiao Zong went to meet his blind date. The other man seemed quiet and aloof, with an air of abstinent detachment. But he had heard that their pheromones were exceptionally compatible. “Does being compatible mean we have to get together?” Second Young Master Xiao said. “So pretentious.” (Prepare for him to eat those words.) ** [Bottom's POV] Gu Yin suddenly presented as an Omega and had no choice but to retire from the special forces. As an instructor, before retiring he spent every day surrounded by a bunch of sweaty, rough men. His aesthetic sensibilities had been severely warped. Then he saw a photo of his blind date. Gu Yin: Aaaaaah, I'm so into him! The soldiers: You may be into him, but he won't be into you. Soldier 1: Omegas should act like Omegas, Instructor, you... Never mind, I won't say it. Soldier 2: That young master has such soft, delicate skin. Don't scare him off with your booming voice. Soldier 3: You could learn how other Omegas act. Gu Yin (curious): How? The others bashfully contributed their treasured collection of adult films, gathered over many years. Gu Yin: ? ** And so, on a dark and windy night, the cool, abstinent, and pretentious Omega washed himself until he was sparkling clean... Then nimbly climbed onto Xiao Zong's balcony. Later on One day, Gu Yin came across a street robbery and, without thinking twice, landed a whip punch and a low hook kick, sending the culprit straight to the hospital. Xiao Zong, who happened to see it: Holy crap, that's my wife?! Gu Yin: Holy crap, I'm dead. "When Xiao Zong is around, Gu Yin speaks softly, can't open bottle caps, gets lost when he goes out, and even goes all 'whimper, whimper.' When Xiao Zong isn't around, he carries a hundred-jin electromagnetic cannon, snipes robbers from afar, drives at two hundred kilometers per hour, and flies a plane one-handed."
