Unsaid emotions bloomed between Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan at school, but they were driven apart by animosity rooted in their hearts because of Jiang Zhuocheng.
Ten years later, they find themselves face-to-face once again, the tension between them pal...
Zhan runs faster, toppling over a few trash cans along the way. His heart races, his head pounds, and his lungs beg for air, but he can't stop. If he does, it will be the end for him. Some guys, all seeming like alphas, chase him from the store, releasing their pheromones. He can feel their scent of aggression and dominance behind him, pushing him to run even faster.

When he can't take any more, his legs give out from underneath him. He falls to the ground with an 'oof!' He knows he needs to find a way to lose them, to disappear into the night and escape their grasp, but his body, burning with heat, can't help. It is then that he hears their voices.
He quickly gets up, ignores his pain, and hides behind a corner of an old abandoned building. With one hand on his stomach and the other on his mouth, he tries to make himself small and presses into the wall. If there is a hole, he might be inside it by now.
"You think you can get away from us, don't you, you little bitch?" a voice asks, followed by a sharp, dark chuckle.
The coldness of the voice makes Zhan shiver, his breathing becoming shallow and rapid. He knows he must stay quiet and still, hoping they will pass by without noticing him.
The sound of their footsteps grows louder and closer, and he can feel his heart pounding in his chest. Every fiber of his being screams for him to run, to fight back, but he knows he must stay hidden if he wants to survive.
As the voices draw nearer, he closes his eyes and prays for a miracle, willing himself to become invisible in the darkness of the abandoned building. When does what he wishes to happen then happen now?
A ringing sound from his phone breaks the tense silence, causing him to jump in surprise. He quickly reaches into his pocket and pulls out the device, staring at the caller ID in hope. "Brother!" With trembling hands, he swipes to accept the call, but before he can, his phone is pulled from his hand and thrown into the dark.
"First, you will serve us; then you can move to others," an alpha smirks, looking him up and down with a predatory gaze.
The fear in Zhan's heart grows as he realizes he is now at the mercy of these dangerous alphas. "Please," he cries, pushing away the looming alphas who are closing in on him. But his pleas fall on deaf ears as they grab him and drag him further into the darkness.
"Please leave me." He struggles against their hold, his heart pounding in his chest as he frantically searches for a way to escape. "Please..."
The alpha's grip tightens on his arm, causing him to cry out in pain. His scarf is pulled away and thrown into the air, landing on another alpha, who pulls it from their face and smirks.
