I'm an Alpha, I Just Pretend

[Flirtatious, selfish painter Omega x gentle, teasing doctor Beta]

Bai Luxing was a notorious playboy Omega in the capital.

People came and went, but no one stayed by his side for even a month.

Shen Linzhou, however, was the exception. Their relationship lasted for over half a year.

But everyone thought that, with the young master of the Bai family, it was only a matter of time before he got bored.

And then, finally, the day came.

Shen Linzhou had come home early. He hadn't even reached the bedroom when a question stopped him in his tracks.

"What does that Shen Linzhou have going for him? You're not seriously in love, are you?"

"When have I ever not been serious?"

Laughter followed. Amid the mockery, Shen Linzhou pushed open the door and walked in.

The room fell silent.

"We're breaking up."

*

After the breakup,

Shen Linzhou still thought of Bai Luxing from time to time.

Bai Luxing's voice had a slight lilt at the end, sounding utterly carefree.

It was the side of him Shen Linzhou had loved most.

Shen Linzhou had loved seeing Bai Luxing sitting on the sofa, his amorous peach-blossom eyes narrowed, smiling with a raised brow.

What a shame...

As Shen Linzhou reminisced about the past,

Bai Luxing appeared before him.

"Shen Linzhou, I'm in heat. Could you..."

*

In heat, Bai Luxing rejected every Alpha who tried to approach him and stubbornly sought out Shen Linzhou, hoping to lure him back with his pheromones.

But Shen Linzhou only pushed the warm Omega away from his arms with an impassive expression, then slowly closed the door.

"Xiao Bai, I'm sorry. I can't help you."

"I'm a Beta."

His voice was as gentle as ever, but his refusal was firm.

Bai Luxing felt as though he'd been plunged into an icy abyss.

*

Later,

people heard that the young master of the Bai family, the capital's most famous social butterfly Omega, had rejected every Alpha who pursued him and now followed a Beta around every day.

"Shen Linzhou... Look at me..."

"Please love me..."

[Reader's Guide]

1. The bottom is a scumbag, so don't judge him by normal standards. They are not both virgins: the top is a virgin, the bottom is not.

2. The characters' values do not represent the author's.

3. This is a melodramatic angst story, a self-indulgent work. The top suffers early on, and the bottom suffers later. Read for fun, and stop if it makes you uncomfortable.
