Chapter 142: Extra 8
Tang Bai was busy with his work at the Weapons Research Institute, and came home early in the morning and stayed late at night. When he came home and lay down on the same bed with Xie Ruhang, he also worked with his small face, and several times Xie Ruhang saw Tang Bai's small head nodding and nodding, and then his eyes were closed, and he fell asleep directly sitting down.
Xie Ruhang puts a thin blanket over Tang Bai, turns up the air conditioning, and gently presses Tang Bai's head against his shoulder.
The house is quiet, it's just the two of them in the marital home, Tang Bai says he would like to have a cat or a dog, but is worried that the two of them are too busy and don't usually have the time or energy to take care of a pet.
Xie Ruhang has a little more time on his hands than Tang Bai, but in half a year Xie Ruhang will be graduating from the Federal Military Academy and taking his own squad to the border, and he won't have time to worry about his little family then.
There will be a war between the Empire and the Federation, and no one can be sure when the war will break out. Even if there is a magic silver that predicts when the war will start in the future, there are many deviations between real life and the plot of the book, and the war may be brought forward or pushed back.
The little head on his shoulder wasn't heavy, but warm, like a little heater against his body.
Xie Ruhang looked at Tang Bai's pure and peaceful sleeping face, white and red with tiny hairs, curly eyelashes casting a small shadow under his eyes, even after four years of being together, he could still be aroused by Tang Bai's sleeping face to be protective at once.
So cute, I want to kiss and bite the tip of his nose, or maybe an earlobe.
Whenever Xie Ruhang does this, Tang Bai whines in a candy-melting voice, "Are you a dog?"
Xie Ruhang gently took off Tang Bai's light brain ring, and helped Tang Bai's light brain to recharge. Tang Bai's hands were very beautiful, with a light pink color at the joints, like pink-white begonias. When the gods created these hands, they gave them both the ability to make weapons, and the appearance of a work of art.
There are many people who are fans of Tang Bai's hands on the Star Network, and when Tang Bai recorded the video explaining the making of the weapon, that group of fans wouldn't be able to understand anything, but they would wail at the image of Tang Bai's slender white hands intertwined with cold, hard, and sharp metal.
But these are hands that only he can touch like that.
Xie Ruhang's palm wrapped around Tang Bai's small hand, and after holding it for a while, Xie Ruhang turned on his own light brain, checking if there were any problems with the security system in the house, and looking at tomorrow's weather forecast, and after taking care of all sorts of trivialities, Xie Ruhang sensed the small head on his shoulder move.
"Hmm?" Tang Bai opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Xie Ruhang in the halo of light, and the work he was struggling halfway through, "...... How did I fall asleep again?"
"Have you been overworked recently?" Xie Ruhang pinched Tang Bai's rosy cheeks, "Look at you, all ......" He was going to say that Tang Bai was all tired and thin, but Tang Bai seemed to have mellowed out a bit lately, and the feel of his hands when he hugged him at night was even more comfortable.
"Don't even know to take care of yourself." Xie Ruhang changed her words in an uncharacteristically natural way.
Tang Bai let out a long snort and hugged Xie Ruhang's arm and rubbed himself in Xie Ruhang's arms as he muttered, "No, I've taken good care of myself, I've eaten well and slept quite well for a while."
"You know what? I was eating in the cafeteria at our weapons institute today, and an alpha sat at a table with me and didn't eat nearly as much as I did, and she people watched in awe."
"It always feels like I'm getting hungry fast these days, they say you get sleepy in the spring and the fall, and the weather is so good for sleeping right now, and I get sleepy as soon as the sun warms me up after I've eaten enough."
"I slept two hours yesterday at lunch, and we went to bed last night at eleven, I think, and got up at eight in the morning, so I get eleven hours of sleep a day! You definitely didn't sleep as much as me!" Tang Bai's proud expression suddenly froze in the middle of his sentence.
Wait, is there anything to be proud of about this kind of thing?
Doesn't eating more and sleeping more make you fatter?
"No, no, no, I'm going to work out tomorrow, I'm not looking for eight-pack abs, but I can't have a small belly either!" After Tang Bai finished his plan with a passion, a wave of sleepiness came up, he yawned again, the moisture wet his eyelashes, Tang Bai lost his spirit like an eggplant that has been hit by frost, he poked Xie Ruhang's arm, and said softly, "Brother Xie, I don't want to move by myself now, you can carry me to the bathroom~ carry me to the bathroom~"
As Xie Ruhang carries Tang Bai to the bathroom, Tang Bai grunts, "It's such a nice evening, if only I could ......."
"A barbecue would be great." Xie Ruhang helped Tang Bai add the second half of the sentence.
Tang Bai gave Xie Ruhang an embarrassed thumbs up.
"Don't order takeout today, okay? I'll make it for you." Xie Ruhang coaxed, "You've been eating barbecue for two days in a row, the barbecue is a bit cold when it's brought in, we won't let it get cold if we make it ourselves."
Tang Bai blinked innocently, he didn't know why he wanted to eat take-out barbecue, even though he knew it was greasy, he just wanted to eat it.
"One more last day?" Tang Bai looked pitifully at Xie Ruhang and gave him a kiss on the chin under Xie Ruhang's forced cold stare.
Xie Ruhang said helplessly, "Last day."
"Uh-huh! Tomorrow, I'll give up late-night snacking and go for a run!" Tang Bai was instantly energized as he opened his optical brain to order food, "I definitely want two servings of cauliflower, stinky tofu, baby vegetables, potatoes, mushrooms ...... The vegetarian dishes are almost done, let me see the meat dishes ......"
Tang Bai couldn't stop gulping when he got into the bathtub, probably because the bubble massage in the bathtub was too comfortable, Tang Bai's body felt more tired and he wanted to fall back to sleep in a daze.
Steaming water, long eyelashes misted with water, Tang Bai's eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them, and he wanted to sleep again.
It was the lure of the midnight snack that supported Tang Bai's climb up, and when he came out of the bathroom smelling good and saw the barbecue set up on the table, the groggy Tang Bai was instantly energized, and he gleefully picked up his own perverted and spicy skewer, and ate it with his mouth full of grease and happiness.
Seeing Tang Bai's behavior, Xie Ruhang contemplates the possibility of putting a skewer of barbecue next to Tang Bai's nose tomorrow and telling him to get up.
"Hooo~bared~hiss~~" Tang Bai bites a few bites tears came out at once, not only the eyes are red, the tip of the nose is also stained with red, even good spicy can't say, immediately pick up the milk next to it gulp a big mouthful of it.
Xie Ruhang is worried that Tang Bai's eating method will cause fire, decided to make some pear soup or honeysuckle tea for Tang Bai to drink more at work tomorrow morning.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Xie Ruhang helped Tang Bai add a glass of milk, "Why do you suddenly like spicy food so much lately?"
Strangely enough, Tang Bai used to not eat much spicy food, but lately he not only orders kebabs with spices, but also eats in the cafeteria with hot sauce, and even his snacks have been replaced with various kinds of spicy strips.
Tang Bai licked his red lips, "Suddenly I want to eat it so much that I can't seem to taste anything else on my mouth."
The barbecue aroused Tang Bai's spirit, Tang Bai ate kebabs while crackling work, and after completing the day's tasks, the stomach that had eaten too much was almost digested, Tang Bai took a packet of chili fries and chewed on it while reading the information about the target recipients of the omega youth education program, Starburst.
The chosen children are all pathetic in their own way, and Tang Bai is being extra sentimental today for some reason.
Fine white like onion tube fingers grasping a spicy noodles, thick eyelashes hanging down, flooded with a little water color, Bei teeth biting the spicy noodles, tears followed falling from the eyes, Tang Bai choked, "Everyone is so hard oooooh, all in order to change their destiny at all costs to work hard ......"
Xie Ruhang's phoenix eyes widened as he watched Tang Bai insist on munching on the chili fries even though she couldn't catch her breath from crying, and for a moment, he actually didn't know whether to get a paper towel to wipe Tang Bai's tears or wipe her mouth.
So Xie Ruhang, who was already a mature adult, drew two tissues, hugged Tang Bai in his arms, wiped his tears with one hand and the corners of his mouth with the other, and softly asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it a good thing that everyone is working hard?"
Tang Bai looked gloomy and said in a trembling voice, "I ...... I don't have the ability to help everyone, the Starburst program can only help a portion of the children, in the corners I can't see, there are more people suffering, and I can't do anything about it ......"
"Have you forgotten why you named this program 'Starfire' in the first place?"
Tang Bai lifted up his face, his snow-white face was crisscrossed with tears, his nose and eyes were red, and he looked at Xie Ruhang in an aggravated and bewildered manner.
"Only a little light can't illuminate the darkness of this world, it needs more people to illuminate the darkness of this world, even if each person is just an insignificant spark, but one day, the star fire will start a prairie fire."
Xie Ruhang cupped Tang Bai's face and gently kissed his forehead, "You've let the starfire pass on, you've done a great job, it's going to get better and better from now on, we're going to have to work together."
The headlights in the master bedroom had been turned off, leaving only a couple of nightlights surrounding the bed emitting glowing light, and these glowed in their locked eyes.
The amber eyes have the clarity of a teenager, with the brightness after the rain, Tang Bai broke down into a smile, he reached out and wrapped his arms around Xie Ruhang's strong, thin and sturdy waist, burying his face in Xie Ruhang's embrace, rubbing against him like a kitten.
The next morning, Tang Bai looked at the sandwiches Xie Ruhang had made earlier in the morning, and for some reason a wave of revulsion washed over him, and he clenched his teeth to keep from making a gagging sound.
What's going on?
This meat smells so greasy ......
No, no, no, no, don't ever show it, Brother Xie will be devastated!!!!
"Brother Xie, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do this morning, I can't take my time to eat breakfast, I'll bring breakfast to the car." Tang Bai hotly packed the sandwich into his bento and fled like he was leaving the house to get into the hovercar.
Xie Ruhang : "?" He looked at the honeysuckle tea he hadn't yet gotten Tang Bai to bring and shook his head helplessly.
It was only when Tang Bai got on the hovercar that he realized the real test of his ability to endure vomiting had arrived.
Even though he'd picked away at the bacon and chicken, the nausea from the double blast of vertigo from the hovercar ride and the residual meat flavor still blasted his stomach as he took his first bite of the love sandwich.
"Uh-oh ......"
For the first time in his life, Tang Bai, who can fly a spaceship with no problem, experiences motion sickness.
He found it very unscientific.
He's going to go and beat the unknown with science.
Shortly afterward, Tang Bai, who came out of the hospital holding the pregnancy test slip, looked blankly at the dazzling sun in the sky, with the doctor's congratulatory voice still ringing in his ears, "Congratulations, you're going to be a baby daddy."
He stood dumbfounded in the sun without much realism, and he and Xie Ruhang usually took safety precautions, just that once ......
On their wedding night a month ago, they didn't take safety precautions.
Although scientific studies have shown that the higher the match, the higher the chance of winning the lottery for an AO partner, one win was too much for Tang Bai to handle.
Why didn't he and Xie Ruhang take precautions that day?
Tang Bai remembered the day Xie Ruhang was poured a lot of wine, he was worried that Xie Ruhang did not even have the strength to wash himself, and then realized that Xie Ruhang could not only wash himself, but also him, not only washed but also can be repeatedly fried.
Xie Ruhang was already very delirious, forgetting to take a condom, but did not forget to say sweet words, every time he entered him, he had to say I love you, deep eyebrows and eyes with bone-deep tenderness, the strong smell of wine left between the lips and teeth, making Tang Bai also a big drunk.
For a while it was hard to tell whether to say that the wine was a mistake or the beauty was a mistake ......
"So this is the time you were craving for spicy food?" Tang Bai finally cracked the case as he rubbed his stomach and muttered to himself.
They say that children choose their moms and dads in heaven. Is it possible that there were an unusually large number of children who wanted to get into their home, so this child seized a fleeting opportunity to catch the bus in a hurry?
Mixed thoughts swirled around Tang Bai's little head as he crouched at the hospital gate and typed a message to Xie Ruhang.
"What's wrong, suddenly calling me?" Xie Ruhang's calm and collected voice rang by his ear.
Tang Bai could imagine Xie Ruhang's expression at this moment, that handsome face must be very gentle, because Xie Ruhang was always so gentle and patient when facing him.
At this moment, Tang Bai, who originally had a blank expression, suddenly reddened his eyes, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise as he huffed, "Brother Xie, Brother Xie I ......"
Xie Ruhang immediately became serious, his phoenix eyes cold, "Uh, I am."
"I, I ......"
"I'm pregnant."
After five long seconds of silence, Tang Bai heard Xie Ruhang's calm voice, "That's a good thing, no wonder you've been eating spicy food and being sleepy lately, you need to get some rest, if you're tired take a vacation and go home, don't tire yourself."
After chatting for a few moments, Xie Ruhang hung up the communication, he sat in his seat with a sullen face, and an unknowing Qiu Yan walked up to Xie Ruhang and said with trepidation, "Brother Xie, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Ruhang looked at Qiu Yan and calmly said, "I'm going to be a father."
Qiu Yan : "Oh ...... Oh?!?!?!"
Qiu Yan was shocked, "Sister-in-law is pregnant?!"
Xie Ruhang nodded steadily. Seeing Xie Ruhang's unchanged aura in front of a crumbling mountain, Qiu Yan couldn't help but feel in his heart that my Brother Xie is my Brother Xie, this mental ability, this is the person who does great things.
Then Qiu Yan watched as Xie Ruhang spent two hours telling his friends and family that he was going to be a father.
"I'm going to be a father." Xie Ruhang, who had harassed everyone he could, once again said to Qiu Yan with no expression on his face.
Qiu Yan : "...... Congratulations."

Tang Bai's social media platforms posted a video.
The video is titled "Told my husband about my pregnancy and he actually ......"
A pale hand clicked on the video, which began with the pretty little omega with two red eyes pinching a pregnancy test and the handsome alpha's ear, gritting her teeth, "Y'all don't know how much Xie Ruhang, this alpha, can pretend!!!"
"I told Brother Xie I was pregnant and Brother Xie acted super calm you know? So calm that my heart went cold and I almost cried right there in front of the hospital."
Xie Ruhang raised his hands in a surrender position, his phoenix eyes looking at Tang Bai with overflowing tenderness, "I was wrong, I was too happy to know what to say."
Tang Bai huffed, "What's even more outrageous is that Brother Xie went ahead of me and told everyone about it!!!"
"I sent out a message to our family group and people said Brother Xie had already private-chatted them one by one with the good news, and by the time I informed everyone, my grandfather and father were already drunk on tipples." Tang Bai grumbled.
"I hadn't even informed my best friends yet, and one by one they came over to congratulate me first!" Tang Bai poked Xie Ruhang's chest viciously, "causing me to completely miss everyone's surprised reactions."
"This is the same guy that just went too far and notified me and all of his friends that people were putting Xie Ruhang over the top on the public screen!"
[Xie Ruhang Too much!!!]
"Dog abuse is too much.
"Please put Tang Bai's dog abuse on the public screen.
[Ahhhhhhhh congratulations to Sugar Baby on becoming a baby daddy! Congratulations God Xie is going to be a daddy!
[Baby's face must be superb!]
You must be happy!
Grandpa Tang finished watching the entire video, he picked up an aged pocket watch and looked at the picture of his late wife on the watch, his cloudy eyes glistening with tears, "What a pity, Ruiqiu, such good news but I can't share it with you."
"We have a great-grandson, you know?"
"While my old bones can still move, I'm going to make a lot of toys for this kid and help him design games, not just mechanical toys ......"
His pale hand gently rubbing the old photo, Grandpa Tang softly said, "I won't interfere with the child this time, let him make his own choice."
