There was not a day in Shen Jui's life that he did not worry for his younger twin brother, Shen Yuan. Unlike him who was hardened and cunning from their harsh life, Shen Yuan was rather frail and naive. He was too kind for his own good that Shen Jui often worries that there would come a day that he would be tricked by those despicable adults.

As soon as he became aware of things around them he made it his life goal to protect his little brother. After all, to Shen Jui, Shen Yuan was the only thing that was good in the rotten world that they live in. They were orphaned and helpless, they wandered without anyone to rely on. Without him there for his younger brother, Shen Jui could only fear for the worst for his dear brother. His gentle brother whose existence was like the bright sun for him and everyone around them.

The other children in the slums where they lived in learned early on to never mess with the twins especially Shen Yuan. Never touch him if they didn't want to be beaten to death by Shen Jui. The older Shen was akin to a ferocious dragon that wouldn't hesitate to wreak havoc everywhere when it comes to Shen Yuan's well-being and safety.

No one was surprised when Shen Jui had presented as an alpha but they were never so wrong to underestimate his over protectiveness. When they thought they've seen Shen Jui's worse before it wouldn't even compare until the younger Shen had presented to be as an omega. Being in their presence was almost unbearable when Shen Jui would literally terrorize and glare daggers at anyone who even looked at Shen Yuan. Other than their Qi-Ge, whom Shen Jui trusted the most despite also being an alpha, no one was allowed to even approach Shen Yuan within a li after he presented. It was too much of an over-kill in his over protectiveness but to Shen Jui's defense it was all for a good reason.

Thankfully after a few weeks of whining from Shen Yuan, Shen Jui finally conceded and allowed his younger twin some freedom while he and Qi-Ge went out to earn money.

"Don't talk to strangers while were not around." Shen Jui repeated for the umpteenth time. Shen Yuan obediently nodded again.

"If strange men come-"

"I understand Jiu-ge. I'll go run and find you and Qi-ge." Shen Yuan cut him off with a pout. Exasperated at his brother's over protectiveness. They have this conversation every time.

"Stop being cheeky." Shen Jui chided, pinching his cheek in annoyance but without heat.

"I'm sorry Jiu-ge!" Shen Yuan cried "Please let go!"

Shen Jui finally took mercy on him and let go. Fighting a chuckle from escaping his lips from his brother's cuteness as Shen Yuan rubbed his red cheek with his hand. Instead, he gave him a pat in the head.

"Make sure to behave." He warned one last time.

"I will Jiu-ge!" Shen Yuan giggled. Without fail, it always made Shen Yuan preen at the simple affection that his strict brother gave him.

Shen Jui gave his brother and the younger children one last glance before leaving with Yue Qi along with some children.

"They'll be alright." Yue Qi assured him when he sense his anxiousness. "We don't need to go further away if you want."

"There's no need!" Shen Jui snapped and began to pick his pace towards the crowded street.

The only great thing with Shen Yuan's unconditional (stupid) kindness and fragile-like appearance was that everyone was fond of him. Shen Jui didn't know if it's because of his brother's dynamic survival instinct or just Shen Yuan himself but he make people around him want to protect him. It was something that Shen Jui was still conflicted about.
