After Breaking Up, I Got Together with My Ex's Uncle

Fu Zhaoxue is an odd one out.

In a society that constantly promotes the traditional values of strong Alphas and weak Omegas, with Alphas working outside the home and Omegas managing the household, Zhaoxue is an Alpha whose pheromones are not Alpha-like at all. They smell like fresh green tea. He's fair and delicate, and spends all day fussing over pots and pans. He's a disgrace to Alphas everywhere!

Zhaoxue doesn't think there's anything wrong with that.

He has an Omega boyfriend he grew up with. His boyfriend has a bit of a temper, but they've been together for years, and Zhaoxue is used to it. He thought they would stay together forever, but one day, his boyfriend suddenly asked to break up. Everything had been fine the day before. His boyfriend remembered to bring him breakfast in the morning and prepare gifts for birthdays and holidays. But then he said he needed some space, stopped answering calls, and ignored his messages.

The anonymous forum that had already been laughing at him outright said Zhaoxue had been dumped. After all, his boyfriend came from a prominent family, while Zhaoxue was merely a poor student sponsored by his boyfriend's family. Obviously, his boyfriend had only been with him for his pretty face and his meek, rabbit-like nature.

See? He got tired of him after all.

It was the first time Fu Zhaoxue had ever been in love. At a loss, he got drunk one night and called his boyfriend. After being blocked several times, his final call actually went through.

He pleaded with the person on the other end of the phone.

Can we not break up? Can you please not leave me?

Because he'd been drinking, he rambled incoherently, with no logic at all. One moment he said he felt dizzy and awful, the next he asked why his boyfriend wanted to break up.

"...You have the wrong number."

The drunk Zhaoxue couldn't hear him. He just kept repeating himself, and before long he was crying too. He couldn't remember what he'd said at all. The other person didn't hang up. Who knows how much of his drunken rambling he listened to? The call only ended when Zhaoxue's phone ran out of battery and shut off.

The next morning, Fu Zhaoxue woke up, saw a text from an unfamiliar number on his phone, and fell into deep thought.

[Call me back when you wake up.]

Later, after finding out his boyfriend had cheated on him, Zhaoxue broke up with him immediately.

Even more coincidentally, Zhaoxue's new boyfriend turned out to be his ex's... uncle. They ran into each other unexpectedly at a family banquet, and his ex clenched his back teeth so hard he nearly ground them to dust.

He couldn't accept it. "Are you with him just to get back at me?" He explained that he'd only been pretending to want a breakup, thinking Zhaoxue would forgive and put up with him as usual.

Zhaoxue wasn't angry. He simply gave his usual gentle smile. "Of course not. It's fate... Oh, and you shouldn't be so rude to your elders. You should be calling me Auntie now."

It was your first meeting, but my long-planned scheme.
