Proud, sharp-tongued top x aloof, deranged bottom
*
Su Feng was a well-known beta at Jiang University. His looks, his reputation, and even his gender were all topics of conversation.
His name was linked to different alphas, betas, and omegas in all sorts of romantic scandals.
Some said he was after money; others said he just wanted a thrill. He accepted it all and continued doing as he pleased.
Xie Chen was a top alpha, from a good family, handsome, and decent. From the day he started school, he was one of the university's most prominent students.
He was never short of admirers, either.
Upright and proper, Xie Chen couldn't stand people like Su Feng, who mixed in the world of pleasure.
They should never have crossed paths.

On a sunny afternoon, the classroom at Jiang University was dead quiet. Su Feng held the attendance sheet and put an X next to Xie Chen's name.
A boy carrying a basketball leaned against the classroom's front door and lazily called out, "Permission to come in."
Sunlight passed through his hair, and Su Feng couldn't help staring.
After that, a rumor began circulating at Jiang University: the notorious Su Feng had fallen for Xie Chen, the dazzling junior from the business administration department, and accompanied him to class every day, rain or shine.
As Xie Chen's roommate walked along, he teased him, congratulating his friend on their "ill-fated romance." Xie Chen only said calmly, "I don't like him."
At his roommate's pointed look, Xie Chen turned his head and saw Su Feng holding his textbooks for class.
His heart clenched. Flustered, he opened his mouth to say something to make up for it, but Su Feng only glanced at him and said lightly, "I understand."
His roommate bumped Xie Chen's shoulder. "So what if he heard? Maybe that'll make him back off and stop getting in the way of your true love."
"Or is it that you don't want him to back off?"

Su Feng gave Xie Chen no chance to explain. He vanished from everyone's sight.
Xie Chen asked everyone he could about where he had gone, then drove 1,400 kilometers just to give him an explanation.
After they got together, Xie Chen would occasionally enjoy the privilege of being loved, until it made his teeth ache.
Wherever Su Feng went, his little shadow, Xie Chen, was always right behind him.
When their friends teased them, Xie Chen slipped his fingers between Su Feng's and asserted his claim.

Just when their relationship was at its sweetest, Xie Chen learned that Su Feng had pursued him only to fulfill his dying stepbrother's wish: to find a healthy, high-quality alpha to marry.
He was merely the choice Su Feng had settled on after weighing his options. Su Feng had never loved him. In this absurd romance, he was the only one who had fallen too deep.
Unable to accept it, Xie Chen broke up with him and threw away their rings while driving.
Su Feng opened the door to retrieve them, then hit his head on the roadside guardrail.
Outside the intensive care unit, Xie Chen leaned his head against the wall and opened his left hand. The ring lay there, unharmed, in his palm.
Xie Chen wanted to ask him: If you didn't care, why did you go back to get it?
When Su Feng woke up, he had forgotten everything.
He forgot his stepbrother, and he forgot Xie Chen.
Xie Chen's question would never be answered.
