Qin Shimei could never forget the handsome younger boy he met while confined to a small island in Sabah.
The kid had a head of golden-brown curls, blue-gray eyes that sparkled, and followed him around like a little shadow, calling him "big brother" over and over.
That was the bleakest, most humiliating, and most painful time in Qin Shimei's life.
On top of that, his glands had nearly stopped developing, and were even deteriorating into a pathological condition that could put his life at risk.
God had shut the door on him, then boarded up the windows too.
And then that kid, like Santa Claus, came tumbling down the chimney into a house with all its doors and windows shut tight. He latched onto Qin Shimei and refused to leave.
Qin Shimei called him "Little Sea Bunny" because whenever he saw him, the boy was dressed in bright colors, with a face as soft and tender as a peach.
Later, Qin Shimei was transferred away from the island. Afraid of disrupting Little Sea Bunny's life, he left behind only a letter and a box of assorted soft candies.

Yu Tangshuang was the Yu family's illegitimate child. He grew up with an old servant who had retired to Sabah.
The old servant was a stingy old man who often skimmed the living expenses sent by the family.
Yu Tangshuang had known since childhood that he was an abandoned child. Whenever the local kids bullied him, all he could do was silently endure it.
Once, they shoved him onto a beach strewn with broken glass, and a group of mean-looking kids surrounded him.
He was terrified, but could only close his eyes.
Before the punches and kicks could land, the kids suddenly began to scream.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that one of them had sea urchins stuck all over his head.
Then a big brother came charging over like a god of slaughter, holding a slipper in each hand.
The brats scattered like frightened birds and beasts.
After that, wherever this big brother went, Yu Tangshuang's little feet followed.
One day, he followed him to his door. The door to his home was ajar.
Curious, he crept up to take a look and saw his big brother writhing in pain on the floor.
He moved closer to get a better look, but a deeply pungent scent stung him.
He ran away at once and crouched in the stairwell, blushing, his heart pounding, sweat soaking his back.
His big brother was an Alpha?!

Qin Shimei never imagined something like this would happen to him.
The boss he'd spent his youth serving had gone too far, insisting that he marry his son.
Out of gratitude for having been recognized and given a chance, Qin Shimei agreed. He figured the kid was an S-Alpha, so surely he couldn't be an idiot.
But the kid agreed to it too.
And on their wedding night, he kept doing strange things that left Qin Shimei completely baffled.
Wedding night
Qin Shimei: "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Yu Tangshuang: "…"
Qin Shimei: "Go to sleep. Stop staring at me. You should've thought of that before, when you were so eager to obey your dad."
But Yu Tangshuang said, "Why don't you want me? Am I not good-looking?"
As he spoke, he lined up a whole pillow's worth of condoms like he was setting up an array and told Qin Shimei to pick one.
Qin Shimei scrambled upright in fright. "What the hell?!" Who wanted who???
Yu Tangshuang released his S-Alpha pheromones and said lazily, "I smell really good."
Qin Shimei's whole body prickled with pain. He threw off the covers and darted into the wardrobe like the wind.
Alarm bells blared in his head: "I'm an Omega, damn it!!!! Are you trying to kill me?!?!"
