The Childhood Friend Male Side Character Ran Away

Everyone said Song Youjing couldn't live without me. I believed them, but later, he found another Omega.

*

Shen Ye was always told by his mother that when they were little, Young Master Song would cry hysterically whenever he couldn't see Shen Ye. If Shen Ye was away from Song Youjing for too long, he'd get sick, too. You two were meant to be together from birth.

Madam Song told him, "A Jing never listens to anyone, but he'll listen if you talk to him. That boy A Jing probably won't be able to live without you for the rest of his life."

His friends would say, "Go rein in your little tyrant. He's fighting with someone again, and we can't pull them apart. You're the only one who can handle him."

Shen Ye found it strange. Although his differentiation test said he would become an Omega, he had always thought he was ordinary. He wasn't smart or good-looking, and he didn't speak softly. It seemed that being Song Youjing's childhood friend was the only thing that made him special.

It wasn't until he differentiated into a Beta at eighteen that he finally understood.

This world was a novel. Song Youjing was the male lead, a rare top-tier Alpha. With no compatible Omega to relieve the buildup of his pheromones, he was often in a state of agitation, until the male lead's love interest differentiated into a top-tier Omega and ended his suffering.

And Shen Ye was the male supporting character, the male lead's childhood friend who had a secret crush on him. As a Beta, he was helpless when the male lead suffered through his rut, making him a crucial tool for the male lead to realize the importance of pheromone compatibility.

He was a foil to the male lead's love interest, destined to exit the story in disgrace.

But Shen Ye had grown up with Song Youjing. Even if they couldn't be lovers, they were still the best of friends. He couldn't bear to see Song Youjing suffer, so he went to find the male lead's love interest and introduced him to Song Youjing.

After the two got together, Shen Ye left.

He didn't know that Song Youjing was searching for him all over the world like a madman.

When they met again, Song Youjing looked haggard. He quietly asked Shen Ye for help. "Things have been a little rough between him and me lately. You're the only one who can help."

Shen Ye was silent for a long time, then sighed helplessly. "What do you want me to do?"

Song Youjing's lips curved into a slight smile. "Come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau and pretend we're getting married. Let him see us register our marriage. I'll take care of the rest."

Shen Ye mocked himself. He'd already left the protagonists behind, yet he still couldn't escape his fate as a tool.

At the Civil Affairs Bureau, their pretend marriage accidentally became real. Song Youjing carefully put away their marriage certificates, then turned to apologize and said they'd come back to get divorced the next day.

The Civil Affairs Bureau was closed the next day. On the third day, Song Youjing went on a business trip...

Before Shen Ye could bring it up a third time, he suddenly underwent a second differentiation. His intense heat cycle made it impossible to suppress his feelings any longer, and he was consumed by pain and desire.

Through the haze, he saw Song Youjing holding back until his eyes were red, bowing his head to lick the back of Shen Ye's neck. His movements were forceful, yet he pleaded with painstaking care:

"Please don't leave me again."

"I'm going crazy."

"I love you."
