On the downfall of a deeply affectionate A

Di Zhe was an Alpha, the kind of Alpha with broad shoulders, a broad chest, long legs and the sort of striking good looks that made people turn their heads. In their second year of high school, a transfer student arrived in the class. His name was Shen Yandong. He was a Beta, aloof, distant and cold in temperament yet refined and elegant, like jade and orchids growing quietly in a secluded valley. The very first moment Di Zhe saw Shen Yandong, he fell straight into it. Completely and utterly. After that, he launched an aggressive and relentless campaign of pursuit. Or, to be more precise, a shameless campaign of licking boots. His brothers watched him grovel so hard that they could barely stand to look at it. Again and again they tried to persuade him. “Big brother, stop licking already. Don’t you know the saying? A simp is a simp, lick long enough and in the end you’ll be left with absolutely nothing!” Di Zhe stubbornly refused to admit it. “I’m not a simp,” he insisted. “I’m deeply devoted and quietly enduring, get it? Deeply devoted and quietly enduring, that kind of top is very popular these days!” And so he kept at it. —- For two entire years. He licked so thoroughly that students from every nearby school had heard about it. Finally, finally! Shen Yandong was moved by his persistence. After the graduation gathering at the end of high school, Shen Yandong accepted his kiss with helpless resignation… and even kissed him back. Di Zhe was so overwhelmed with happiness that, riding on the buzz of alcohol, he dragged the other man straight into a small roadside hotel… The next day, his brothers happened to run into Di Zhe wandering along the street, his steps drifting as if he were floating on air. Curious, they asked him, “Big brother, how did your confession go yesterday?” Di Zhe quietly clutched his collar tighter, terrified that the dense constellation of bite marks and kiss marks covering his chest might be seen. Putting on a devastated expression, he said in a hollow voice: “The name of regret… is youth.” The group sighed in sympathy. “Sure enough. There’s never a good ending for simps.” —- After returning home, Di Zhe, whose butt hurt terribly, stayed up all night changing his university application. Damn it. He had worked so hard being a shameless simp in order to sleep with someone. Not to be the one getting slept with!!! He was a dignified Alpha and he’d been bent over by a Beta? How humiliating. QAQ He needed to change worlds and start a new life. …… Two months later. After running off abroad for a vacation and circling around the world to clear his head, Di Zhe finally adjusted his mood and went to report for university. When he saw the dormitory, he was delighted. His luck was great. He had been assigned a double room! He wondered who his roommate would be. That evening. His roommate arrived late. “Long time no see, Di Zhe.” Someone spoke to him from the doorway. The voice was cool and calm. Very familiar. Di Zhe had already finished setting up his computer and was sitting there eating snacks while watching a variety show. Hearing the voice, his entire body stiffened as he slowly turned his head. Shen Yandong was standing in the doorway. … Later on, Di Zhe asked around. His classmates told him this: During the period after the graduation banquet, when Di Zhe had seemingly vanished from the world without a trace, the always composed and self possessed Shen Yandong had nearly gone mad trying to find him. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: On the downfall of a deeply affectionate A — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
