I'm hoping to reach 100 saves before starting this story. If I can't, I'll write 100,000 words ahead before launching it.
Self-described as nasty and calculating, but actually sweet, obedient, and starved for affection: a tenacious little omega.
Appears refined and gentle, but is actually cunning and obsessive: an alpha born to greatness.
In the first seventeen years of Chi Yu's life, there was only one thing he could call luck:
He had secondarily differentiated from a beta into an omega.
Although he was only an ordinary omega, and his pheromones were nothing special, just peach-scented, Chi Yu was content.
He had been poor for far too long. Being an omega gave him far more chances than a beta to change his fate, and he was determined to seize this opportunity.
Because of his omega status, Chi Yu transferred to the best high school.
He cut the hair that had hidden his delicate face, wore a clean, inexpensive white shirt, and on the day he introduced himself, gave every alpha from a wealthy family below the podium the timid smile he had practiced countless times.
He said, "Hello, everyone. My name is Chi Yu. You can call me Little Fish."
The teenage alphas grew restless at the sight of a beautiful, unfamiliar omega, their gazes converging on him. Chi Yu shyly lowered his head, but in truth he was checking the logos on everyone's sneakers. He had memorized the prices of every luxury brand from fashion magazines.
Chi Yu spotted the most expensive pair. They were a limited edition, marked in the magazine's cover story as not available for sale.
He composed himself, looked up, and met a pair of beautiful, sharp amber eyes devoid of emotion.
At first glance, Chi Yu knew that Gu Yixing, a top-tier alpha, could never be interested in an ordinary person like him.
But Chi Yu was greedy. He wanted the best.
In PE class, Chi Yu deliberately fell in front of Gu Yixing. Having only recently differentiated, he wasn't yet good at keeping his omega glands covered, and the fresh, sweet scent of peaches "accidentally" escaped.
The prodigy who always topped the grade rankings saw through Chi Yu's clumsy ploy with ease, but didn't expose him. He simply handed Chi Yu a full bottle of the most expensive pheromone blocker on the market.
The alpha's politeness was like a thorn driven straight into Chi Yu's self-loathing heart. Gu Yixing said:
"Sorry, it's not that I have anything against you. I'm allergic to peaches."
The alphas left with Gu Yixing at their center. Chi Yu heard someone ask him how he could stay composed when an omega had practically thrown himself at him.
Gu Yixing didn't answer. His friend replied for him:
"You think everyone's in a hurry to start dating in high school? He's rich and doesn't lack love. Of course he'll wait until he's an adult, find an omega from a family on his level, and marry his first love!"
Does he have so much love?
That was the only thing Chi Yu heard.
Watching the handsome, aloof profile of the boy, Chi Yu felt his bitterness rising. He was like a rotten peach soaked in seawater.
If he doesn't lack love,
why can't he give a little of it to me?
After becoming the prodigy’s first love, Chi Yu was the one who started the relationship and then abandoned him. He never imagined he would see Gu Yixing again one day.
Five years was neither a long nor a short time, but it was enough for the once-gentle, sunny boy to transform into a ruthless rising star in the business world. As the suited-up alpha advanced toward him step by step, Chi Yu could barely recognize him.
The alpha's intense pheromones wove into an airtight net, binding a certain disobedient little fish.
The crinkle of a pill's foil packaging sounded. Chi Yu's whole body tensed reflexively. He looked at Gu Yixing in alarm as the alpha swallowed a freshly unwrapped allergy pill under his gaze.
"I thought that after abandoning me for all these years, you'd have completely forgotten me."
Gu Yixing caught the sweet, heady scent of peaches drifting from the omega. The gloom in his eyes eased slightly as he drawled,
"Now it seems your pheromones at least remember what I'm going to do next."
How could he ever forget?
In high school, Gu Yixing, who was allergic to peaches, had taken countless allergy pills just to get close to Chi Yu. They had kissed so many times behind the classroom curtains that even the crinkle of the pill foil had become a signal for Chi Yu to release his pheromones.
