Qin Hui's omega lover is an orphan, with no one to rely on.
Sometimes he can't tell whether what moves him is Lin Yuan's face, so similar to Chu Yuan's, or Lin Yuan's pitiful, touching expression.
So, at a gathering, Qin Hui can't bear to leave Lin Yuan alone and goes looking for him. But he sees Lin Yuan standing in the shadows beside an alpha from the Yu family, as if they know each other well.
Only then does he remember that the Yu family has an unloved adopted son with the surname Lin.
Still, even when the omega is at his most passionate, Qin Hui has never seen such a teasing, unspoken invitation in Lin Yuan's eyes.
.
Lin Yuan doesn't mind playing Chu Yuan's imitation in front of Qin Hui. After all, he has an entirely different agenda.
Besides, he loves to toy with people's feelings. Watching the scales in Qin Hui's heart gradually tip in his favor is its own kind of fun.
But he never expected Yu Wei to come to the Northern District, too.
His stepbrother has grown more lenient with him over the years, and rarely acts this strict.
"Stop pretending to be good," Yu Wei's voice is as oppressive as his pheromones. "I'm not as easy to fool as Qin Hui."
Lin Yuan takes his time, feigning innocence:
"Then what should I do? Teach me, big brother."
