The human body is a representation of the world, controlled by internal desires. Desire is driven by will. The will communicates desires through the body and governs our world.

When your world becomes dazzling and shining like never before because of the arrival of a person, you should be alert. That is the collapse of will.

Alpha x Alpha

Lu Heyang x Xu Ze

Xu Ze had thought hard about it, and the only thing he and Lu Heyang had in common was that they were both alphas with the highest pheromone level in the Union Preparatory School.

Apart from that, the two of them had no resemblance or relation whatsoever.

—

Seven years ago, every time they parted, Lu Heyang would say “See you again” to Xu Ze. However, when they actually saw each other again, he did not recognize Xu Ze.

Xu Ze thought this was reasonable; he had never told Lu Heyang his name, and after years of separation, his appearance had changed. It was inevitable that he would be forgotten and unknown.

It was just that not seeing Lu Heyang for the last time during their childhood left a feeling of regret, making that memory even more profound.

While he was explaining the questions to me, I always admired the view of his side profile, seeing how the sunlight would hit his fluttering eyelashes, casting faint shadows just beneath his irises.

Every time I was entranced by his good looks, I would marvel at whether his biological parents were fools, because how could a normal person abandon such a handsome and healthy boy.

From then on, I believed the deep affection I couldn’t push aside for him was just the attachment I felt for an older brother, a dependency born from the lack of a father figure in my life.

Until the appearance of Qi Yang.

Yang Lei turned around. The moment he turned, with the sound of the wind, a brick smashed onto Yang Lei’s head. Yang Lei wasn’t even aware of when someone had gotten close from behind.

Fresh blood flowed down from his forehead, blurring his eyes. Through the spray of blood, Yang Lei saw a person. A tall and thin, clean man, expressionlessly smashing a second brick onto Yang Lei’s face.

A long time later Yang Lei recalled, what had left the deepest impression in his mind was that white dress shirt on the other person’s body. That white dress shirt was dazzling, white as snow, spotlessly clean; very few fighters dressed so cleanly. That white dress shirt was quickly dyed red with blood, Yang Lei’s blood.

They were gold class fighters, number one warriors of two crime bosses. They had experienced countless fierce battles, establishing their status in Jianghu. From rivals to friends, to brothers who would live together and die together.
