Chapter 68: Chapter 68

"...... Hello, my name is Tang Bai, thank you for saving me." Tang Bai looked up at him, his amber eyes sparkling with light.

Looking into those beautiful eyes, his body stiffened, he didn't even know where to put his hands, and finally he said with a dry voice, "Xiao Cheng."

It's a pseudonym, and Shaw is his mother's last name.

Now that he's under the identity of Mouse, taking off the mask for the first time might cause Tang Bai some problems.

An aristocrat like Tang Bai should look down on a racer in an underground arena.

Together with Tang Bai, he takes the assailant to the police station. Neither of them speaks on the way, but his sharp intuition makes him realize that Tang Bai has been spying on him.

But so does he, and he looks over at Tang Bai as she stares out the window.

He was born good-looking, so he rarely thought to others, "This person is really good-looking".

But Tang Bai is a real looker, delicate and beautiful, with a face as clear as an angel's, and a cat-like slyness between her eyebrows.

He was like a passerby looking over the fence at a well-tended rose in the garden, wanting to pick it and steal it to look at every day, but in his heart of hearts he knew that letting the rose continue to bloom in the garden would be the best ending.

All he could do was look away, but that was fine.

"I actually want to visit the underground arena and black market this time, can you accompany me?" Tang Bai said to him with reddened ears.

He accompanied Tang Bai to the underground arena, where they had to pick out masks first. Tang Bai chose a white feathered mask and helped him pick out a matching black feathered mask.

The match in the underground arena made Tang Bai uncomfortable, and when he saw that Tang Bai's expression was not quite right, he reached out and covered Tang Bai's eyes.

All around him were people cheering and roaring, and he was so close to Tang Bai that he could hear his shallow breathing.

Thick lashes fluttered across his palm, like a butterfly flapping its wings in his palm.

"I don't understand, what is the point of the existence of the underground arena?" Tang Bai asked him.

For the contestants, he said, the underground arena should exist for survival, to survive, for the slim one-in-a-million chance enough to get better.

Becoming an underground arena star may be the only way for a slum kid to get ahead.

When Tang Bai heard this, he said seriously that reading should be the ladder for every one of us to rise.

Tang Bai says he wants to reach out to people who can help the slums, he says he wants to build schools here, and he says everyone deserves a bright future.

He loosens the hand that covers Tang Bai's eyes, and sees the eyes behind the mask wavering in the light of the fire that is burning in the underground arena.

So his heart trembled slightly at the tip.

"Wearing this mask it seems like we're at a masquerade ball, by the way, do you know how to dance?" His amber eyes lit up at him and knowing that he didn't know how, Tang Bai smiled, "Then can I teach you how to dance next time?"

So they had their next meeting.

In the square where the pigeons are flying, Tang Bai teaches him the Mo Ka with great enthusiasm.

"When inviting someone to dance, say, this gentleman, may I ask you to dance." Tang Bai held out his hand to him in a decent manner.

So he followed Tang Bai's example, putting one hand behind his back and one reaching out to the person in front of him, lowering his head slightly, "This young master, may I ask you to dance?"

Tang Bai nodded proudly and condescendingly, placing the hand with the rose ring in his palm.

Gorgeous music flowed from the rose-style light brain ring, like magnificent petals floating on gurgling water.

At first they were dancing Mo Ka, but then Tang Bai said that the music of the square dance was really too brainwashing, and with that he suddenly took his hand and led him into the huge dance floor.

The fountain changed its shape to the music, and Tang Bai held his hand and laughed as he danced. He used to think of this music as noisy, but at this moment he felt what Tang Bai called the charm of music.

He always felt that everything was beautiful in Tang Bai's eyes, whether it was the street stalls, the square dance, the dirty children or even the person of "Xiao Cheng" ...... Everything is beautiful.

The first time I heard Tang Bai's comments about "Xiao Cheng" was at the Mechanical Coffin.

At that time, he didn't know that the mech builder was Tang Bai, and Tang Bai didn't know that "X" was Xiao Cheng, they shared their lives like normal close netizens.

Tang Bai said to him, "I seem to like someone.

That man lived in a crazy, sinful, chaotic place, but he was sober, kind, and grew wild.

He was a very different being from me; I was tamed and docile by this society, but he kept his bones austere and free.

When he covered my eyes, it was like I heard the sound of the rivers flowing and the sea whistling in his body, and it made me want to go to his world and have adventures with him ......

Tang Bai talks about the man so well, so well, that it never even occurs to him that the man is himself in the first place.

He asked Tang Bai, does that guy like you?

Tang Bai says, like, he likes me, and his gaze that falls on me when I look away is gentle.

He said to Tang Bai, "You've talked about so many pros, so what are the cons of the other side?

Tang Bai said, "The downside is that he's too slow, I guess. He doesn't even know to kiss me when I close my eyes.

So he suggested to Tang Bai that if he really liked it and was sure that the other person's character was secure, then take the initiative to kiss up next time.

Tang Bai said to him in an embarrassed manner, but I haven't kissed anyone yet, what if I kiss him and he just dodges?

Then he said, if you really want to kiss, should you spray some kind of kissing spray in advance, how about a fruity one ......

It's good to be in love.

He saw Tang Bai's screen full of shattered thoughts and couldn't help but let out this sentiment in his heart.

Such a beautiful thing was like a luxury to him, and injected with the camouflage potion he had less than forty years to live.

In the average interstellar lifespan of two hundred years, he could only give his beloved a fleeting love if he did fall in love.

This love is selfish and mean.

Hiding the issue of longevity and leaving your lover with long suffering just to enjoy a short pleasure.

So he'd never expected love, but he'd also never met an alpha that made his heart sing, so he wasn't sorry to think about it.

At the end of the conversation, he pre-orders the Sunflower Energy Gun from Tang Bai, which he wants to give to Tang Bai for protection.

It was a full and wonderful time. Although the pressure of running for chief was great, he was able to go out and meet Tang Bai often, and talk to his friends at the Mechanical Coffin in the evenings.

At the time he thought he had two best friends at once.

At that time, he saw that the slums were getting better little by little, Tang Bai somehow got Bai Zhi to mobilize people to pay attention to education in the slums, he got the Mo Ka taught by Tang Bai on the etiquette exam, and everything started to change for the better.

He thought everything was getting better.

Until he and Tang Bai met again when he gave Tang Bai the sunflower energy gun.

"You're 'X'?!" Tang Bai exclaimed.

Turns out that seller is Tang Bai.

He was reveling in the coincidence of the event when he heard Tang Bai's cautious test, "So you ...... Then you know all about it?"

Know what?

He looks blankly at Tang Bai.

Tang Bai Oops, looked at him with a "I knew it was like this" look of hatred, and then ah ......

Then Tang Bai stood on tiptoe and kissed him with a red face.

It's strawberry flavored.

-- "If you really want to kiss, do you have to spray some kind of kissing spray beforehand, how about a fruity one?"

-- "The downside, I guess, is that it's so slow, he doesn't even know he's going to kiss me when I close my eyes."

-- "When he covered my eyes, it was like I heard the sound of the rivers flowing and the ocean whistling in his body, and it made me want to go to his world and have adventures with him ......"

It turns out that when they were watching the fireworks together that time, Tang Bai suddenly closed his eyes and was asking him to kiss him.

It turned out that the day he removed his hand, between the four eyes, to see the amber eyes of the flame-like light, is called "love".

It turns out that he will lose him forever while he understands it all.

How can he be with Tang Bai? He's an omega who won't live long. Tang Bai with him is a laughing stock.

He took a step back, Tang Bai stared at him blankly, and all he could do was apologize, "I'm sorry, I have to go."

"Don't go away, okay." Tang Bai's face was still red, and his eyes were bright with his favorite light when he confessed, "I like you."

"Young master, you don't even know my real identity, how could you like me?" He had told Tang Bai that Xiao Cheng was his false identity.

Tang Bai looked at him with bright and determined eyes, with the righteousness of love across the mountains and the sea, but the mountains and the sea can be leveled, he said: "Although I don't know who you are, but I really, really like you, let's be together, okay?"

Yeah.

How he wanted to say that.

"I can't be with you, I'd be harming you. All I can offer you is a brief stay in this false identity."

He saw that the thin layer of red that had originally remained on Tang Bai's face had faded cleanly with the passage, and the face was as white as a sheet of paper.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

The amber colored eyes were filled with tears, washing those eyes brighter and brighter, Tang Bai seemed like he was about to cry out at any moment, "Xiao Cheng, you son of a bitch!"

Don't cry, my young master. I'm not worth crying over.

"You don't think you saved me, you don't think you stayed with me as 'X', you don't think I really had to have you after what you did!"

Yes, that's it, you don't have to have me, you can have a wonderful life, you'll marry a good husband who loves you, he'll be with you till the end of your days, you'll have children and grandchildren, you'll be happy forever.

He turned and headed out the door, and he wasn't sure where he was going.

"If you leave, I'm going on a blind date, I'm going to find another alpha to be with, and I'm never going to ignore you again!"

"Xiao Cheng!"

"Don't you go, okay!"

"You're not allowed to leave."

"Don't Go ......"

He didn't turn around because he was afraid to.

He walked further and further away, stopping after he could no longer hear the call of the person behind him.

He found himself with a terrible pain in his chest, where the left atrium was, smothering him to the point that he was a little breathless, so oppressive and so painful that it throbbed with every heartbeat.

Loss always brings pain, he had only been with his young master for such a short time, they had only had such a short time of pleasure, and it hurt so much when such a little pleasure was taken away from them, what if they had been together longer?

What if it's been so long that Tang Bai has become indispensable to him, but is doomed to a death that can't be undone?

Would Tang Bai be more upset than he is now?

Xie Ruhang covered his mouth as he coughed up a large mouthful of blood, which flowed in his hands, but he wiped the blood from his lips away with the back of his hand without much care.

The message tone sounded, it was a message from Tang Bai on the Mechanical Coffin, Tang Bai asked him if he still wanted the rabbit mech.

He said no.

Tang Bai asked why not.

Xie Ruhang closed his eyes, he thought he should say something desperate at this time, the more desperate the better, the better to break Tang Bai's heart, so that Tang Bai hurt enough, will not like him, will not waste time on him.

So he says, I just think of you as a friend, and I don't like your love, which makes me feel a little sick.

Sure enough, Tang Bai never contacted him again.

He didn't use the bunny mech.

He also didn't have time to find a new suitable mech.

He ended up with the long night.

The night is long, the night is long, he has been suffering in the long night for too long, thinking that he has finally found the star that belongs to him, but Xing Xing hangs so high and so far, how can he pick it?

In the mecha duel of the chief exam, he used "Long Night" to narrowly defeat Gu Tunan, the price of victory is "Rat" identity exposure, so everyone suddenly accused him of the game's tactics are too venomous and cold-blooded without mercy, that Gu Tunan lost because he is too kind, that he is not worthy of being chief. They said that Gu Tunan lost because he was too kind, and that a ruthless person like him doesn't deserve to be the chief. ......

He won.

Winning the overwhelming accusations and prejudice.

The exertion of the chief exam was a little too much for him, and led to the unexpected advancement of his estrus.

The wolf in heat happens to be bumped into by Gu Tunan, who learns his secret and begins to change his attitude towards him, only he didn't realize it at that time.

He couldn't sleep all night long during that period of time, once he closed his eyes, he would think of Tang Bai, once he thought of Tang Bai, his left chest would hurt, some times he didn't want to think of Tang Bai, but his chest would still hurt, he couldn't even begin to tell if thinking of Tang Bai would make his chest hurt, or if his chest hurt made him think of Tang Bai.

He remembered the dessert Tang Bai had made for him, he remembered the dance Tang Bai had taught him, he remembered the kiss Tang Bai had given him.

It's strawberry flavored, tart and sweet.

He likes Tang Bai.

Especially like Tang Bai.

From the first moment he met Tang Bai, he fell in love with him.

Why is that? Was it love at first sight? Why did Tang Bai have to like him? If Tang Bai didn't like him, he might never understand his feelings, then they could be good friends, then they could see each other every day.

Why is it a tragedy that it happened to him that the person he likes happens to like him too?

Then later was the day when an omega handed him a love letter, and the omega thought he was an alpha and red-faced handed him a love letter.

For a moment, he seemed to see Tang Bai's face, also red-faced and hesitant, the light in his eyes beautiful and clear.

Gu Tunan confessed to him after he saw him holding the love letter, only later did Gu Tunan tell him that he confessed in haste that day because of the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at that omega that day, Gu Tunan said that he had never seen him look at someone with such tender eyes.

At that moment, Gu Tunan's sense of crisis was so strong that he didn't prepare for anything, but only thought that he couldn't let anyone beat him to it, and then he hurriedly declared his heart.

Gu Tunan likes him.

That's something he didn't expect.

In fact, many times he felt that he did not deserve to be liked by others; he was of low birth, gloomy, and short-lived.

Gu Tunan praised him, saying that he was independent, enterprising, idealistic and powerful, very different from those delicate doddering flowers, a tree that could grow alongside him.

Gu Tunan said he would cancel his engagement with Tang Bai for him. Gu Tunan said he would help him hide his identity. Gu Tunan said a lot.

He frowned a little.

He doesn't like to hear Gu Tunan describe Tang Bai as a vase, Tang Bai is not the sniveling waste of beauty that Gu Tunan described, on the contrary, Tang Bai is very strong and can always show a bright and warm smile, Tang Bai has his own lofty ideals, he has always been studying mechanics in the dark, and has never given up.

What Tang Bai needed was an opportunity, an environment where he could truly express himself.

He justified Tang Bai a lot in his mind, but he didn't say a single word about it, because it was a favorite that he hid, a favorite that he didn't want to share with anyone.

Xie Ruhang quietly listens to Gu Tunan expressing his love for him, but in his heart he is thinking of Tang Bai.

It's good that Gu Tunan and Tang Bai canceled their engagement, Gu Tunan doesn't like Tang Bai, he doesn't respect Tang Bai, and people like that won't be nice to Tang Bai in the future.

Tang Bai will meet a more suitable alpha and Tang Bai will live a happy life.

He thought Tang Bai might have already known that Xiao Cheng was Xie Ruhang, because in the Chief Examiner's Exam, he had used "Long Night" to reveal his identity as a "rat".

Although the image of the "rat" is not circulated on the Star Network, with the Tang family's power, if Tang Bai wants to find out, he will certainly be able to do so.

Although only a few people such as Gu Tunan know that he is an omega now, if one day his identity as an omega is revealed and his injection of the camouflage potion is revealed, will Tang Bai realize that he said those desperate words because of his longevity.

Will Tang Bai be sad when he realizes? According to Tang Bai's kind character, Tang Bai should feel very guilty and he doesn't want Tang Bai to be sad for him.

If Tang Bai learns that he loves Gu Tunan, and he rejects Tang Bai because of Gu Tunan, wouldn't he be less upset if that's what Tang Bai knows?

Thinking of this, he looked to Gu Tunan and whispered, "I won't live long enough for this to happen and you'll still like me?"

Gu Tunan froze and nodded at him instead of asking him why.

"Will you like me even if I don't like you?"

In fact, at this moment he felt very cruel, but he was not such a noble person in the first place, after seeing Gu Tunan nodding his head without hesitation, Xie Ruhang smiled.

"Can I ask you for one thing? If it ever comes out that I'm omega, before I die, I want to tell people that I like you, and you like me, and that the two of us have loved each other, is that okay?"

It was a strange request, and Gu Tunan hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

So the matter was settled.

Xie Ruhang likes Gu Tunan.

Everyone will know, including Tang Bai.

And Xie Ruhang likes Tang Bai, something Xie Ruhang only needs to know about himself.

Much, much more happened later, as he cut his glands, went to war, made his mark, and in triumph stabbed to death a nobleman who had defiled his subordinates.

That nobleman was a member of the Cheng family, or a member of the council, he was ultimately impulsive, and many people came to see him during the time he was imprisoned.

Someone told him that Tang Bai, one of the heads of the omega protection society, was also running for the civilian omega who was raped, saying that Tang Bai was so busy over the matter that he even forgot to eat.

Gu Tunan brings him a bento, saying that the whole federation must know that he has a stomach problem, and that Auntie Tang is a fan of his, and that Auntie Tang made this bento especially for him, asking Gu Tunan to help bring it here.

He picked up the bento, opened it, and saw the omelette in the shape of a love heart.

He finished his bento in one bite and ate it clean.

It still tasted the same as he remembered, in fact he instantly recognized who the real owner of the bento was who made it.

He wondered, he and Tang Bai, how did they get to this point? Obviously they had been close once, when they would talk all night long, walk hand in hand under the starry sky, and think about the future together.

-- "If I were to develop the curriculum in the future, these messy things are changed into elective courses, everyone who wants to learn etiquette will go to learn, want to learn self-defense also go to choose their own, like what to go to learn what! The federal military academy also does not need to test such things as etiquette, all is red tape, should have been thrown away ......."

-- "I... I also want all the kids in the slums to go to school, I want everyone to have enough to eat and new clothes ...... I also want to contract all the omega inhibitors and find them a normal job, not the mining kind, the kind that's so exploitative ......"

-- "I really hope that every omega can go and do what they want to do."

......

These are the kind of futures Tang Bai wants, and he will do his best to give Tang Bai a new one.

Tang Bai should not be a bird in a cage, he should be a phoenix soaring in the sky.

But he couldn't let Tang Bai go on that uncertain path, so he let him go alone.

With the help of many, he was acquitted of all charges and returned to the battlefield, where in one battle he led his combat squad to a narrow victory at the cost of nearly leaving his life on the battlefield.

The ministry took the dying man to the military doctor just as the camouflage potion wore off and his true gender was revealed, and all the stars were in an uproar as they demanded that the military department take back his rank and put him back on the right path as a deviant omega.

Even if he has cut his glands and won't go into heat to affect others.

He had not recovered from his serious injuries, but with a fierce determination he announced to everyone that he would take off his uniform as soon as an alpha could defeat him.

Blood flowed all over the cockpit, but the mech he was maneuvering majestically defeated all his opponents.

After winning the battle, he was admitted to the ward again, many people came to see him, many people wanted to interview him, Bai Zhi was talking to him about a partnership, and at the end of the day ......

Tang Bai is here too.

Tang Bai sat in front of his hospital bed for a long time and said to him, is it because I am omega and Gu Tunan is alpha that you don't like me and prefer Gu Tunan.

He said yes. He said he only thinks of Tang Bai as a friend.

Tang Bai remained silent for longer and said, "That's so.

Then Tang Bai raised a smile and said to him, Actually it is not bad now, you are my omega light Oh, wish you happiness.

Yes, it was good now, Tang Bai was still good looking, proud, reserved, still the young master he remembered, and those beautiful eyes still sparkled when he said, "You're the light of my omega".

It was the light he had always wanted to guard.

He said to Tang Bai, "Good luck to you, too.

Things went the way he wanted them to, Bai Zhi used his influence to successfully implement various bills, the slum people's lives were getting better and better, and Tang Bai was ready to participate in the mecha building competition.

The rabbit mech that he didn't give away back then, Tang Bai gave it to him this time, and he gave Tang Bai a book in return.

If Tang Bai had looked through the book, he might have found a dried rose petal on one of the pages where he had recorded this favorite passage:

"I've come to give you the gift that out of all the Xing Xing, I will continue to live in one of them, and I will continue to laugh in that Xing Xing.

That way, when you look up at the stars, you'll feel as if all the Xing Xing are laughing.

It's time to say goodbye.

You know, it's too far to go home, I can't take my physical body with me, it's just a useless shell, there's no point in grieving over a useless shell."

It is said that a person will become a star after death. Xie Ruhang thought that the star he became should be distant, small, and out of place, trapped in the dark clouds, just as his life was deviant and maverick, trapped in many impossibilities.

At that thought, those dark phoenix eyes finally lost their last ray of light, and he faced the starry sky, remaining forever on the eve of dawn.
