What Should I Do About My Clingy Younger Brother? [Female Alpha, Male Omega]

Years ago, Chen Yuejin broke ties with her adoptive parents, who were unrelated to her by blood, and left for a life abroad. She gave up everything that came with being the daughter of a wealthy family, and also left behind Tang Zhuguang, the adoptive younger brother she'd lived with for years.

Later, she returned to China to make her own way. When she opened the door to her apartment, she found a young man with tattoos, piercings, and dyed blond hair. He stared at her for a moment, then raised an unfriendly brow. "Why is it you?"

Chen Yuejin: ...

Who is this? And why does he look so much like her sweet, well-behaved adoptive younger brother?

After all these years, Tang Zhuguang had become a completely different person. He dyed his hair, got tattoos, skipped classes, and played video games. Around her, he bristled with hostility, rebellious and prickly.

Tang Zhuguang provoked her again and again, but Chen Yuejin never took it to heart. Then one time, after he'd been drinking, the boy wrapped his arms around her waist and burst into tears. "Sis, don't go. Don't leave me behind again..."

Chen Yuejin gradually realized that deep down, he was still the same boy who used to cling to her side. He'd never changed.

Excerpts from Tang Zhuguang's diary:

"Sis, you promised you'd always watch over me. When are you coming back?"

"Sis, did I do something wrong? Why did you leave me?"

"You promised me. You really did promise..."

"Sis, don't you want me anymore?"

To Tang Zhuguang, Chen Yuejin had always held an irresistible, inexplicable allure. It was true years ago, and it was still true when they reunited. He despised himself for feeling this way and feared being abandoned again, but could only watch helplessly as he fell for her all over again.
