Pheromone Pairing Anomaly

Coming soon next door: An ABO school romance, "A Pheromone Mishap":

A cold, sharp-tongued, quiet family-heir top student who fiercely takes his partner's side x a carefree but stubborn, silly, talkative, gifted violin student. Please add it to your collection!

Here is the blurb for this story:

A taciturn, restrained, secretly passionate lawyer (top) x a sensitive, lively crime-fiction writer who helps others heal (bottom)

Lan An first met Lu Shihuai during the New Year holiday in eighth grade. He had just finished a part-time shift, and his parents took him to visit relatives.

They unexpectedly added each other on WeChat at the dinner table.

That person was aloof, but he joked with Lan An, telling him he was funny. He often pressed his lips together and didn't say much. In short, he treated Lan An very well.

Lan An came from a troubled family. He had parents, an older sister, and a younger brother, and from the outside, his family looked like the model family everyone envied.

But things were still bad for him. He was a defective omega, his family didn't like him, and his personality even got him ostracized by his friends.

But unexpectedly, he discovered that Lu Shihuai seemed somewhat downtrodden.

In what way?

Just like Lan An, except he had been orphaned as a child and left to live on the streets. After a kind family took him in, a fire left his adoptive father disfigured and killed his adoptive mother, leaving him with only a younger sister, four years his junior.

Later, he failed the judicial exam and nearly fell into depression.

So whenever Lan An cried, Lu Shihuai's heart softened, and he patiently comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry. I had it so much worse back then, and I didn't cry."

Because he'd been caught in the rain, he wanted to hold an umbrella over someone else.

From then on, he was the only lifeline Lan An could hold on to.

Lan An typed in the chat box: [I think you're very gentle]

Lu Shihuai: [I'm not gentle]

He gave all his tenderness to Lan An, and Lan An pulled him out of the mire, giving him the last bit of sunshine he had left.

Lan An has found his Shihuai bird.

It was a grand, romantic fairy tale filled with splendor and hope.

(The blurb has been screenshotted. Please don't steal my idea just because I haven't signed a contract yet.)

"Is gin good?" Lan An asks, looking curious.

Lu Shihuai, busy typing at his computer, frowns. "Trying to get pregnant?"

Lan An: !!! QAQ

Blurb Two:

Lu Shihuai thought he would die the year he graduated from college.

Then he met that little brat.

The little brat always liked to keep his troubles to himself and was way too proud for his own good. He constantly pestered Lu Shihuai on WeChat, sometimes about KPL matches, sometimes about trivial things in his own circle. All Lu Shihuai could say was: "So noisy."

But watching the boy curl up in his arms, shaking as he cried, somehow softened his heart before he even realized it...

He always saw his younger self in the boy.

"Lu Shihuai?"

"Yeah, I'm here."

"Lu Yihuai?"

"I'm here."

He answered every call. From then on, wherever the boy called for him, he would be there.

Top's pheromone: Gin

Bottom's pheromone: White peach yogurt

[Reading Guide]

* A setting where same-sex marriage is legal.

1. ABO. The top dated someone in college, but they only held hands.

2. Both leads are virgins, and they are adults when they get together. Happy ending.

3. A slow burn. The top is very restrained. They are not related by blood, and the top is eight years older than the bottom.

4. The bottom cries easily when underage. This is a coming-of-age story, and he becomes ill later on. There is half a chapter depicting an episode.

5. The author is a compulsive reviser, and the writing is messy. Please go easy on me if you can't get into the story!

Theme: Pursuing your dreams is more than just a flutter of the heart
