Chapter 141: Extra 7

Tang Bai dull for a full ten seconds, before spitting out a string of "......" in confusion. How did omega light come to be a maid in my house? This plot development is completely unscientific!

Xie Ruhang stood in front of Tang Bai with his head slightly bowed in a humble posture, his lowered eyebrows covering the sharpness in his eyes, looking no different from the servants who used to come to the Tang family to apply for jobs, the only difference might be that he was extraordinarily good looking.

"Young master, let me help you change." The slender hands were wrapped in white gloves, from the fingertips to the cufflinks they exuded an aura of asceticism.

"Rat" is fast and accurate in combat, never fights unprepared battles, and is extremely strict with herself in her daily training, both as an underground racer and as a servant. Having practiced dressing in front of mannequins many times, Xie Ruhang's movements are crisp and clean, yet gentle and slow as she undoes her first button, revealing the snow-white skin at her collarbones. Xie Ruhang unbuttoned the first button, revealing the snow-white skin at the collarbone.

The neck was as long as a swan's, and the slender collarbone had a delicate fragility.

The young master rolled the knots of his throat, and his freshly awakened eyes looked up at him in ignorance and moisture, as if he were a pure white lamb.

"I can do it myself ...... You go ahead and get out." The voice was incredibly soft.

The sunlight shone on Xie Ruhang's reddish ears, and the young waiter respectfully retired after placing the clothes on the bedside, leaving Tang Bai to collapse on the bed with an empty brain.

He unconsciously gnawed on his fingers like a child who has made a mistake, biting until his fingertips were red and his brow was furrowed.

What went wrong? Why did Xie Ruhang come to the Tang family to work as a servant? If Xie Ruhang only works as a maid from now on, then there will be no more omega light in this world. ......

*

"How did you get out of your room so quickly?" A maid asked.

"Young master doesn't need my help to change." Xie Ruhang replied.

"It must be your clumsiness and lack of weight, I really don't know how someone as inexperienced as you could be recruited to take care of the young master." The maid lifted the hem of her skirt and walked up the stairs, then turned back to instruct Xie Ruhang: "In another fifteen minutes the young master will be coming down to dine, the hot congee in the pot can be served ahead of time, as well as other snacks ......"

Xie Ruhang watched as the maid disappeared around the corner of the stairs, and he looked down at his fingertips, the hands that had just touched the buttons of the young master's pajamas.

Until the old man had approached him, he had never imagined that he would ever meet Tang Bai again, see the young nobleman who had smiled so brightly at him when he was a young boy.

The upturn in his life was inextricably linked to that young master, whether it was the sudden increase in his father's income or the various games that kept appearing in his optical brain, games that could not be searched for on the astro-network and whose protagonists bore an uncanny resemblance to that young master in appearance.

He had seen the young master from a distance in the slums, the young master was keen on public welfare, free to help the poor, many people had been benefited by him, everyone said that if there were angels in the world, then the angel should be the young master's likeness.

With Xie Ruhang's authority, he was unable to search for any information about this young master on the Star Network until the old man named Tang Rong found him, first asking him if he wanted to be a tester for the Weapons Research Institute, and then arranging for him to be a servant for the Tang family to secretly protect Tang Bai.

He hadn't wanted to agree.

Though the occupation of servant was one that had been close to his mother's heart once upon a time, he had been educated by the mysterious man, and the future he imagined was by no means confined to that.

Then he saw the picture of the young master.

He was fourteen years old when he secondly differentiated into an omega, his true gender known to His Excellency Tang Rong, and because of his gender, he possessed the opportunity to protect Tang Bai intimately.

His Excellency Tang Rong paid him with a letter of recommendation for arranging for him to attend the Federation Academy of Ceremonies, in addition to a generous amount of star money.

Xie Ruhang's thoughts were distracted from the chaos of thoughts as he served breakfast at the table and stood quietly waiting.

The sound of footsteps approached, and Xie Ruhang saw the ankle-slim legs first.

As a servant, it's best not to look her employer in the face, and Xie Ruhang looks down to see slippers hooked to her feet on the brick-red carpet.

White openwork lace socks wrapped around jade-like feet, with a faint pink color vaguely visible on the heels.

A very pretty color, a light peachy color.

"Have you eaten?"

Xie Ruhang looked up and saw Tang Bai holding a cup in both hands and inclining his head to question him, his attitude not like that of a master and servant, but rather that of a friend making small talk.

Xie Ruhang subconsciously looked around, and after confirming that he was the only one standing in front of Tang Bai, he nodded slightly.

Tang Bai picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, taking a few bites and waving Xie Ruhang over, "I really like the little milk cakes, try some."

Xie Ruhang took the pastry, he was afraid of crumbs falling to the ground, with a hand on the jaw to continue, a mouthful of milk cake, rich and sweet milk flavor in the lips and teeth melted, and is not greasy, let a person to recall the memory.

"Is it good?" Amber eyes gazed up at him brightly, like congealed honey.

Xie Ruhang froze for a moment and nodded.

Tang Bai took a long breath and patted the chair beside him, "You sit here."

"I ......" Xie Ruhang looks slightly hesitant.

"I'm not used to looking up at others, it's so tiring to chat like this." Tang Bai took a big gulp of milk from the cup, his upper lip was stained with a circle of milk stains, he looked at Xie Ruhang unnoticed, his tone was so soft that even the words of command had a petulant meaning: "Sit down."

Xie Ruhang took the chair beside Tang Bai, sitting only on the front third of the chair's surface and looking down at the steaming dim sum on the table.

He could feel Tang Bai's gaze, which made him feel constrained even as he sat upright.

"You look about my age." Tang Bai scooped a spoonful of sweet porridge and asked knowingly, "How old are you?"

"Fourteen." Xie Ruhang whispered.

"What a coincidence, we're the same age ...... Why don't you go to school at your age?" Tang Bai remembers that Xie Ruhang's family had every money to go to school.

"Your grandfather asked me to keep you close and take care of your well-being, and as payment, he can recommend me to the best school in the Federation." Xie Ruhang replied.

Tang Bai: "!!!" Is Grandpa planning to send Xie Ruhang to the Federal Military Academy?

Tang Bai suddenly realized.

Tang Bai can't help himself.

He was worried that he had changed the plot line before, but now the main plot was still going according to the book, and the omega light was still the omega light!

"Here, this pastry is also delicious, try it!" Tang Bai pushed another pastry in front of Xie Ruhang, "Are you thirsty? Would you like some milk tea?

Xie Ruhang turned his head to look at the enthusiastic Tang Bai, he hesitated for a moment, carefully took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the milk stains from the corner of the other's lips under Tang Bai's bewildered gaze.

Tang Bai licked the corner of his mouth a little embarrassed, "But what should you do about the gender issue if you're going to the Federal Military Academy?"

This time it was Xie Ruhang's turn to show a blank stare.

"...... Federal Military Academy?"

"His Excellency Tang Rong arranged for me to be admitted to the Commonwealth Academy of Ceremonies, the best omega school."

A plate full of pastries was knocked to the ground by Tang Bai's carelessness, spilling crumbs all over the place.

Tang Bai has a loose schedule for the day, which is spent taking only one dance class.

While Tang Bai and the dance teacher teach, Xie Ruhang stands alone in the corner and watches silently.

It was the Basso Dance, a dance in which the wide sleeve robes swayed slightly as they danced, as if a swan were spreading its wings.

As soon as the dance instruction was over and the teacher left, Tang Bai collapsed onto the blanket without a trace, his fluffy curls spreading out as he looked at Xie Ruhang and said limply, "Help me up."

A young master in fine and expensive clothes lying on the dusty carpet, which makes Xie Ruhang feel very bad, like seeing a piece of bean curd dropped on the ground, he wanted to help each other up, but worried that he could not control the force to hurt Tang Bai.

"Hiss--" Tang Bai's huff made Xie Ruhang stiffen, and he looked cautiously at Tang Bai.

Half a palm away, he saw Tang Bai's thick lashes fluttering like butterfly wings, "Help me take it off."

"The corset is really too tight."

The aristocrat's clothes were cumbersome and elaborate, and Xie Ruhang thought of the dolls he had seen on the windows, and of the dolls in a cupboard in the young master's room, and thought that if the young master were to be made as small as the dolls were, there could not be found in the world a more exquisite doll than the young master's brand of dolls.

As he removed the corset, Tang Bai let out a sigh of contentment before turning to Xie Ruhang, "I just saw that you've been looking at me very intently-"

Xie Ruhang's pupils instantly dilated.

"--Dancing, do you want to learn to dance?"

The phoenix eyes blinked, "...... Hmm."

"I can teach you..." Tang Bai had already figured out that since Xie Ruhang was going to enter the Academy of Ceremonies, his previous teaching of Xie Ruhang had all clicked on the wrong skill tree, and that he should teach Xie Ruhang other skills suitable for omegas, so he should teach Xie Ruhang something else.

Tang Bai takes Xie Ruhang's hand and pulls the stunned Xie Ruhang towards his checkroom.

"First we need to change into our clothes." Tang Bai's fingertips brushed over a series of plain white tops, finally coming to rest on the largest sized one.

"This should fit you." Tang Bai hands Xie Ruhang the shirt with its hanger, then he turns back to his search for leggings.

Xie Ruhang is a bit taller than him, and the biggest pants Tang Bai could find would leave Xie Ruhang's ankles exposed.

"These aren't a big deal, it's the shoes that I don't know if there are any that will fit you." Tang Bai pickpocketed and found a fine shoebox containing a brand new pair of high-heeled dancing shoes.

"Found it! This is ......" Tang Bai paused, "Someone gave it to me, I just got the wrong size, try it on~"

"And gloves, rings, um, you don't have pierced ears, let me look for ear clips ......"

When Xie Ruhang came out of the fitting room in her new outfit, Tang Bai exclaimed with great admiration, circling Xie Ruhang brightly and saying, "It's so pretty! By the way, do the shoes fit?"

"It's a little big." Xie Ruhang replied.

"Then we won't practice today, we'll practice again when I get you shoes that fit, but ......" Tang Bai mysteriously took out the girdle, "I have to put this on for you!"

"Wow! Your waist is so thin!"

"You actually have abs eh, can I touch them?"

"Breathe in breathe out breathe in, eh eh eh your abs are getting hard ......"

After all that, Tang Bai took pictures of Xie Ruhang with a video camera and interviewed him about his experience.

The handsome dark-haired, dark-eyed omega in the camera whispered, "It's delicate and flashy, but it's full of bondage."

"I prefer the feeling of being free and uninhibited."

Tang Bai's eyes blinked several times as he tried to squeeze out a smile.

When Gu Tunan comes to visit the Tang family, he learns that Tang Bai is out doing charity work again.

"Young master won't be back until about evening, what a coincidence." The maid lamented.

Gu Tunan looks a bit surprised, he is not surprised by Tang Bai's outing, in fact, Gu Tunan specially asked Tang Bai to go to the slums for charity today, that's why he came here today, so that he can go with Tang Bai in the name of protecting Tang Bai.

"Is anyone going out with Tang Bai?" Gu Tunan asked.

"The new attendant accompanied the young master out." The maid respectfully said.

Waiter?

Gu Tunan frowned and handed the gift to the maid, he had given Tang Bai a pair of high heeled dancing shoes last time, but Mrs. Wang had accidentally mixed up the shoes he was going to give to his little father, this time he had brought the correct size shoes with him, he hoped Tang Bai would like his gift.

"I think it's better to wear flat shoes, high heels are beautiful but not very convenient on muddy paths like in the slums." Tang Bai says to Xie Ruhang, who is helping him with his umbrella.

They are going to see a family that lives on a hill today.

"There was a kid in that house who was very cute, I saw him picking up garbage to eat on the side of the road earlier, so I took him to the store to buy snacks, the shopkeeper probably took me for a fat sheep and specially quoted the price high." Tang Bai laughed a little, "That kid originally bought several items, suddenly put everything back, said he wasn't eating anymore, pulled me out, then secretly told me that the shopkeeper had a bad heart, and pulled me to another one."

"I bought him grilled chicken wings, and he put the chicken bones in his pocket and said he wanted to bring them home for the dog." Tang Bai's eyes lit up as he gestured to Xie Ruhang: "They have this little white dog at home, very humane, he understands everything he says as if he's too skinny, so I specially bought him dog food this time."

Xie Ruhang carries a bag of valuable dog food and listens to Tang Bai bounce around as he says, "I'm going to give that dog dog food every month from now on, and he's going to be kept strong!"

But sadly, that bag of dog food didn't get delivered.

The little white dog couldn't be found, the odds were that it had been stolen and eaten by the slumlords, and they all knew very well that the little white dog was in a bad way.

Xie Ruhang saw Tang Bai squatting down to comfort that child, "Xiaobai probably went to Planet Woof first, and it's also very sad to leave you, so if there's a chance to come back here from Planet Woof again, it will come back to you."

"Then let it not come to me again." The child said, "It has to go to a master who will feed him."

"Dog food is so good." The kid put one in his mouth, "And he didn't get a bite."

All the way back, Tang Bai was not in high spirits.

"I heard that people turn into Xing Xing when they die, I think dogs are the same." Xie Ruhang lifted his head and pointed to the bright starry sky above his head, "Young Master, look at that Xing Xing does it look like that puppy."

"That's a puppy's tail there, and that's a puppy's paw."

Tang Bai tilted his head, he couldn't really see where the dog star was that Xie Ruhang was talking about, but he knew that Xie Ruhang was clumsily reassuring him.

"I'm fine." Tang Bai puts his hands behind his back as he slowly walks under the stars and whispers, "We always lose a lot of things in our lives, and everyone has a way of opening themselves up, and my way-"

Tang Bai looks back to Xie Ruhang, "It's a secret."

"But today I can share that secret with you."

It's Xie Ruhang's first foray into Tang Bai's secret base, when a cabinet full of Palulu dolls is pushed open to reveal a pile of black-market materials.

Xie Ruhang thought Tang Bai's self-explanation might be cooking food, buying beautiful clothes or other forms of entertainment, but he didn't expect the scene in front of him--

The pink suitcase opened, and a thick pile of mech designs lay within.

Tang Bai sweeps the accessories off the vanity table as he sits in his high chair, tapping on the drawing mode with the characteristic passion of a creator, his upper body working at his desk, yet his legs are not restless, one leg flexed with its heel on the soft floral cushion, the other rocking slowly in mid-air.

The drooping Xing Xing lamps create a layer of soft light for his feet, the halo goes all the way up, and in those amber eyes you can seem to find bright stars.

Xie Ruhang stood quietly beside Tang Bai, watching him sketching out the shape of the mech within ten minutes, the whole time without a pause. He knew the knowledge of mech making from his education in those games, so he could better know how talented Tang Bai's creations really were.

"This mech will be called the Woof Woof for now." Tang Bai stretched comfortably like a cat as he leaned back in his chair and tilted his head to look at Xie Ruhang, "Do you have anything you want to say?"

-Yes.

--Young master, you look as if you could glow.

"Are these all your works?" Xie Ruhang asked softly.

Tang Bai nodded.

"Are we the only two who know the secret?"

Tang Bai continues to nod.

Xie Ruhang's heart was suddenly filled with a secret joy, and the distance between him and Tang Bai seemed to have been brought closer by this secret.

"Why don't you publicize these excellent works?"

"Because there is no omega in this world to be a mecha maker ah, everyone thinks that omega should obediently get married and have children, grandpa forbade me to touch these things ......"

The joy in Xie Ruhang's heart was suddenly clouded with a layer of sadness and heartache, a heartache similar to but different from seeing Tang Bai lying on the dusty carpet.

It was as if he saw his little young master in the glow being swallowed up silently by the endless darkness.

He wanted to go and change that, but he was also in the darkness and couldn't give the youngest any light.

"But I believe the future will change one day." Tang Bai looks to Xie Ruhang, he wants to tell Xie Ruhang everything he saw from the magic silver, but reason stops him.

It was a question he had been thinking about since Xie Ruhang arrived.

He prevented most of the tragedy in Xie Ruhang's life, who now has living parents, hasn't been orphaned, and doesn't have as strong a desire to overthrow the existing system.

So can Xie Ruhang actually turn into omega light now?

If you can't ......

Instead, it's a happier ending for Xie Ruhang.

That Xie Ruhang in the book has lived a life so miserable that mediocrity but happiness is a good choice, isn't it?

The Tang and Gu families are interested in setting up Tang Bai and Gu Tunan, news that Xie Ruhang overheard during a servant's gossip.

I heard that Gu Tunan likes Tang Bai a lot.

I heard that these two are a good match, A talent and O appearance.

Upon hearing these discussions, Xie Ruhang felt a sudden surge of vile jealousy, as if a shadowy rat were gnawing at his insides with sharp teeth.

He sees that Gu Tunan often comes to Tang Bai and gives him all kinds of expensive gifts, and Tang Bai cooks delicious food in return.

He should have blessed the young master, but he always felt that the young master was so good, kind, beautiful and lovely ....... All the good adjectives can be put on the young master, compared with the young master, Gu Tunan looks inferior.

And Gu Tunan never really understood the young master, he knew that what the young master really cared about was the omega protection society that he created with His Excellency Bai Zhi, the mecha manufacturing that was hidden behind Palulu, and the bright future that he didn't know when it would come.

Instead of the dancing shoes and paints that Gu Tunan gave me.

Perhaps because of the jealousy in his eyes, Tang Bai, who was sent back by Gu Tunan with a red face, suddenly asked him, "Do you not want me and Gu Tunan to be together?"

He was pruning a flower branch at the time and nearly cut the branch with a shaky hand.

"Don't worry, I don't like him and he doesn't like me." Tang Bai took his arm affectionately and said softly as if he were a good friend, "He is taking me as his rival and always trying to outshine me."

"When I was a kid, I interviewed for the Central Elementary School attached to the Federal Military Academy and came in first place, edging him out, so he was always defiant, and once he even had to drag me into a physical fitness and basic fighting competition."

Xie Ruhang frowned, "Fighting arts?"

Tang Bai softly hmmm, "Although I don't want to admit it, the physical difference between alpha and omega is really big, he overpowered me at once, I couldn't beat him, so I had to use my weapon to numb him down ......"

Tang Bai, who was in the middle of his thoughts, was suddenly tackled by a strong body, and the world spun around for a moment as Xie Ruhang rolled him over and pinned him to the ground.

The floor was thickly carpeted, and there was a broad palm firmly protecting the back of his head, so Tang Bai didn't feel much pain.

"Is that how he overwhelmed you?" A raspy voice in the throes of mutism rang in his ears.

Tang Bai raised his eyes and met a pair of dark eyes that were indifferent and detached, but mixed with what seemed to be the rolling heat of desire, causing Tang Bai's heartstrings to be tickled unexpectedly, "...... Uh-huh."

"Has he ever touched you like that?" Xie Ruhang inquired seriously as he adjusted a few positions where he could take advantage of the situation.

When the fingertips rubbed over the skin, it brought a tingling itch, as if like an electric current running through the brain, Tang Bai for a moment completely unable to think about the things that happened so long ago, and said randomly, "It seems like there is it."

Xie Ruhang cursed fiercely in his heart.

The way Gu Tunan looked at the young master was undisguised love, only the young master, the little fool, was too slow to feel anything, saying something about just being a rival, this kind of bullshit was probably Gu Tunan swindling the young master so that the young master would let his guard down.

No, no, no, no, a character as simple as the young master's could have been taken advantage of by Gu Tunan, all thinking it was simply a friendly sparring match.

"Young master, if anyone touches you like that in the future, unless they are your husband, other than that please give them a lesson they will never forget." Xie Ruhang removed his hand on Tang Bai's thigh and solemnly said.

Her amber eyes were slightly watery and her cheeks stayed flushed, while a light milky pheromone emanated from Tang Bai.

"It's so strange, just now when I was with Gu Tunan I felt like I had no strength, now my body is so hot ......" Tang Bai's breathing quickened and a fine bead of sweat broke out on his forehead.

The first differentiation of the omega is usually at six years of age, and the first estrus comes at fourteen to sixteen.

Xie Ruhang's heart drummed along with him as he looked at the teenager lying on the snow-white carpet, panting low from the torment of his rutting period, "Young master, your rutting period has arrived, I'll go and get the inhibitor for you."

He helped Tang Bai into the bedroom and took out the suppressant to beat it down for Tang Bai.

Tang Bai was curled up in a ball, not feeling well. Xie Ruhang was worried that Tang Bai, who was injected with inhibitors for the first time, might have a rejection reaction, and eagerly asked Tang Bai how he felt, and saw that Tang Bai was agitated and unable to speak for half a day, with the tip of his nose and his cheeks reddened in a sorry state.

Xie Ruhang looked to Tang Bai where he hadn't been soothed, and as it dawned on him, a thought popped into his head.

Bold beyond belief, even a little below the belt.

Perhaps Tang Bai's pheromones were so sweetly scented that they paralyzed reason, or perhaps it was a longing that had been suppressed to the extreme, Xie Ruhang whispered with the greatest courage of his life, "I can make young master feel better if he needs it."

It just doesn't seem right.

But again, nothing wrong with that.

After all, it was the duty of servants to help their masters share their worries.

Xie Ruhang's expression was so focused, his words so righteous, as if it was as natural as Tang Bai lying on the sofa after eating too much and being gently rubbed and kneaded by Xie Ruhang's hand, only this time the hand was in a different place.

The soft sound of water resounded in the quiet bedroom.

The young master's ankles were slim, his toes curled, his taut insteps incredibly beautiful, and Xie Ruhang's throat knots rolled as he looked into Tang Bai's face, his slightly furrowed brow, the shell teeth biting down on his lower lip, the pure white paper colored by him.

This realization gave his inner mouse a sense of satisfaction at last.

He also finally recognized his feelings for the young master.

He liked the young master, not just as a friend, he wanted the young master to live the life he wanted, without having to marry someone he didn't like, without having to bury his weapons making talents.

His young master shouldn't be afraid of the world's eyes, let alone be imprisoned in a flashy cage and lose his freedom, but it's not the young master's timidity that's at fault, it's the world.

His young master was too good to change. Change was always painful, more painful than dancing in high-heeled shoes, walking on the point of a knife every step of the way, and his young master should take the smooth path, the path whose thorns he would remove-

After all, helping the master to share his worries was originally the duty that servants should fulfill.
