Synopsis

(Please add my next novels, "Pheromone Hunger" and "The Top Student and I Are Both Reborn" to your reading lists QAQ)

#Carefree, spoiled beauty bottom x clingy green-tea top who's both sweet and wolfish#

After an accident, Tong Shen has to raise someone else's younger cousin.

His new little brother is handsome, gets good grades, is disciplined and sensible, and rarely causes trouble. The only thing is, his gaze is razor-sharp, like a little wolf cub.

Tu Jiazhi always thought Tong Shen and his own cousin were a couple.

The first time he saw Tong Shen kissing a man, Tu Jiazhi scolded him. "Does my brother know you do this?"

Tong Shen knew he had the wrong idea, but couldn't explain the truth, so he let him believe it.

Who knew that from then on, the little brat would keep causing trouble for him?

The bar was in full swing when Tu Jiazhi showed up in his school uniform. Tong Shen immediately set down his drink. "Sorry, everyone, I have to go home and make dinner."

His friends: "???"

Things were heating up with his boyfriend when a phone call came in. Tong Shen's expression instantly turned cold. "Sorry, I have to go to the school."

His boyfriend: "...Let's break up."

Day after day, Tong Shen diligently raised the kid, but gradually realized that the little wolf cub's feelings seemed a bit off.

Until one day, his little brother pinned him against the wall and kissed him, then asked, "Does my brother know we're doing this?"

-

Tong Shen fled, and stayed away for six years.

It took him a while to realize that he hadn't really been able to let go. For six years, he'd secretly kept tabs on the other man's life, never daring to make it too obvious. He could only pretend to ask casually, "How's Tu Jiazhi doing lately?"

They met again at a banquet. Tu Jiazhi was dressed to the nines, his gaze hidden behind his glasses. He was polished and refined as he talked with people.

But the moment he turned around, he cornered Tong Shen. His sharp gaze and forceful manner were just like before, but his voice sounded aggrieved:

"Tu Jiazhi isn't doing too well lately."

"He misses you."

"So much it hurts."

[Important Content Warnings]:

1. The top is a virgin; the bottom is not (he used to be a top).

2. Younger man/older man, with a six-year age gap.

3. They don't have sex before the top comes of age, and the bottom only sees him as a younger brother.

4. The first half takes place at school, the second half in the city. The romance is a little slow to develop at first.

Blurb for "Pheromone Hunger":

Xie Zhou has a condition called "Pheromone Hunger" and needs to find an Alpha with a 100% match to save his life.

He enters a hibernation pod and waits for years. When he wakes, the Federation's most powerful general has become his "medicine."

Officials come to congratulate them on their marriage, the Star Network floods with well-wishes for them to have a child soon, a famous luxury brand sponsors them, and starships line up to sound a salute...

The whole world is trying to force them into marriage.

But when Xie Zhou visits the general for the first time, he's turned away.

-

Liang Jichuan receives a genetic compatibility report. It says there's an Omega who is a 100% match for him.

Liang Jichuan scoffs: A new kind of scam cooked up by the Federation to pressure people into marriage.

A beautiful, cool-tempered Omega stands at the door.

Liang Jichuan stares at the video for three seconds, then coldly hangs up. A seduction tactic. Not interested.

-

Not long after, Xie Zhou's condition flares up, and he has no choice but to ask for help again.

The flushed Omega trembles slightly as their pheromones quickly mingle in the air.

Liang Jichuan pulls him into his arms and leans down to ask, "What's in it for me?"

"I'm the only one in the world who can bear you." Xie Zhou obediently lowers his head. "You can... take whatever you want from me."

Usually aloof and chaste, the Omega becomes impossibly pliant when his condition strikes.

"Remember what you said." Sharp teeth press against the back of his long, pale neck. "Don't act helpless only when you're having an episode."

"..."

"I like it when you seduce me like this."

As expected, he gets the lowest score on the first exam of the school year.

Wu Bei: Help! I lost my memories after the college entrance exams! Now I'm just an ordinary illiterate! How am I supposed to get into the university I went to before?!

-

Wu Bei wasn't close to Qi Nan when they were in school. Because of their names, their classmates always teased them, and as a self-proclaimed straight guy, Wu Bei naturally wanted to steer clear of the "rumors."

But after he's reborn, the gap in his grades is so huge that the homeroom teacher seats him with Qi Nan, the perennial top student, and when the school rearranges the dorms for senior year, the two become roommates.

Wu Bei suddenly discovers that having the top student's help is great →_→
