Ji Mian came from a distinguished family and was handsome in an elegant, refined way. Countless As wanted to pursue him, but he ignored every one of them.
But not because he was aloof. It was because... he had severe rhinitis!
No matter how potent and alluring a pursuer's Alpha pheromones were, they had no appeal to him, because he couldn't smell pheromones at all.
To be honest, this was convenient. He was a high-ranking Omega who wasn't controlled by pheromones and would never lose his reason.
Still, Ji Mian found it a little frustrating. Life was rather dull when you couldn't taste anything.
Then one day, he met He Wensheng, S University's universally acknowledged top Alpha heartthrob.
The man was handsome, with an aloof air that kept others at a distance. His pheromones smelled of sharp, powerfully aggressive mint.
The instant Ji Mian met his eyes... his nose suddenly cleared.
Ji Mian: "!!!"
For the first time, Ji Mian experienced how wonderful a world with a keen sense of smell could be. For the sake of his mental health and his appetite, he decided to be friends with He Wensheng!
To be the best of bros, with a bond higher than heaven!

He Wensheng felt nothing about the approach of S University's popular, aloof Omega beauty.
Born a favored son of heaven, He Wensheng was used to the many people who liked him.
But to be honest, Ji Mian wasn't an ideal romantic partner, because their pheromone compatibility was low.
Yet this aloof beauty, rumored to have a terrible temper, seemed unable to understand his coldness and circled around him every day.
A pretty little face tilted up to gaze at him. His sweet words came with a warm invitation to eat together.
Whenever He Wensheng was in a bad mood and didn't want to eat, Ji Mian worried more than anyone, watching over him with concern and coaxing him until he polished off three bowls every day.
Knowing their pheromone compatibility was low, Ji Mian kept making sly inquiries about the type He Wensheng liked and tried to convince him to stay single. "Bro, being on your own is pretty great, really. A wise man doesn't fall in love. Dating is such a hassle. A lovesick idiot will cling to you and get in the way of your career!"
He Wensheng lowered his eyes to glance at Ji Mian pressed close to him and replied calmly, "Oh. I'm not dating."
They had agreed not to date, but then Ji Mian immediately turned around and started flirting with him. "Bro, you smell so good."
His pretty face flushed, his eyes moist. "Bro, you're a real bodhisattva."
He Wensheng: "..."
The little Omega was sweet and clingy. He Wensheng's ears turned red as he wondered who had ever called Ji Mian chaste and desireless.
Ji Mian was far too obvious about pursuing him.
*
After getting a taste of the good life, Ji Mian kept urging He Wensheng to live on campus so he could stick to his pocket-sized peppermint-oil bro around the clock.
At last, during his rut, He Wensheng couldn't take it anymore. He pinned Ji Mian to the bed, licking and biting him over and over.
The little Omega's frightened expression made He Wensheng's heart race. He lowered his head.
Ji Mian stared in shock, covered his mouth, and pushed him away. "Wait, bro..."
He Wensheng looked down at him, unable to hold back. "?"
*
Later, when He Wensheng learned that Ji Mian had only approached him to clear his nose, he was so upset that the usually proud and elegant man curled up under the blankets and cried for two nights.
He cried so much that his nose got blocked, too.
Ji Mian, feeling guilty, came to visit him, only to be pulled straight into the room.
His once-cold roommate had dark circles beneath reddened eyelids. He looked miserable, and his voice was gloomy and chilling. "Your nose cleared up. Feel good?"
Ji Mian nodded timidly. "...Pretty good. Thanks, bro."
He Wensheng sneered, pressing his icy knuckles against Ji Mian's waist. "Want to see if something even better feels good?"
