His hobby is to repair things, and has developed quite a good skill towards it. One day, while going to his “secret” scrapyard to gather some spare parts, he saw a girl playing an abandoned piano there. Somehow, the music had caused the junks to resonate, creating an illusion of a junkyard symphony. He was mesmerized by the familiar sounding melody, but he could not remember the tune. Just then, the girl noticed him, and called him a pe*vert/stalker. She then requested him to forget about the incident.

The boy group “D·A” was famously marketed as an all-Alpha team. With five members, each showcasing unique styles, their career had been smooth sailing since debut, racking up awards effortlessly. But one day, the most popular and notoriously hot-tempered leader woke up to discover he had turned into an Omega. The sky practically fell. Their manager had a meltdown on the spot. The teammates broke down sobbing, declaring they’d rather believe they were Omegas themselves than accept that their leader had become one. The hospital hallway echoed with wails of despair. In the end, each of them earned a flick to the forehead from the leader. “What are you crying about?” Xia Yan growled menacingly at the group. “It’s not that big of a deal. If you cry again, I’ll throw you all into the river.” The group reluctantly held their tongues, fuming silently. ….. The company’s final decision was to keep the news under wraps. After all, the group’s selling point was its all-Alpha lineup. How could they possibly maintain their image with an Omega working alongside the other Alphas?

He spoke softly, “Whether you’re an Alpha or an Omega makes no difference to me.” At the time, Xia Yan didn’t grasp the meaning behind those words, only feeling that Xu Cong was a true brother. It wasn’t until much later, when Xia Yan woke up in Xu Cong’s room, that he gritted his teeth and cursed, “You bastard.” Dynamic: Loyal younger puppy × Fiery beauty.
