Chapter 83: Chapter 83

Tang Bai stops massaging his hands, he puts his fingertips under his nose and sniffs as his brain goes blank.

A light, grassy scent, the aroma of green tea, an aroma that instinctively delighted his body.

"Xiao Cheng?"

Xie Ruhang abruptly opened his eyes.

"You are ...... Xiao Cheng?" Tang Bai said incredulously.

Each person's pheromones have subtle differences, just like green tea in real life, which has different flavors depending on the origin, variety and production method, and two people's pheromones are even more unlikely to be exactly the same.

But how is that possible?

One's an alpha, one's an omega, different genders, how can they be the same person?

Xie Ruhang opened his mouth, his phoenix eyes flashed with helplessness and emptiness, and his originally relaxed body instantly tensed up, "I ......"

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I also triggered the time and space characteristic of Magic Silver, and saw that the future me seemed to be terminally ill with a short life expectancy, so I ......" Xie Ruhang uncontrollably surfaced a forlorn look, he sat on the edge of the bed lost, like a large dog abandoned by its master, his phoenix eyes looked at Tang Bai with self-reproach and helplessness.

"I'm sorry." Xie Ruhang honestly admitted.

Those nervous phoenix eyes stared unblinkingly at Tang Bai, the tails of his eyes flushed red as if he'd been crying because of his susceptibility period.

Xie Ruhang thought of many possibilities for his fall from grace, such as Tang Bai feeling cheated and blacking out all of his numbers in one fell swoop.

Another example is Tang Bai's adoration of the large and his love of the small layered together to create a one plus one effect.

Or maybe Tang Bai still likes the small size and has no feelings for the big size and can't accept the reality ......

But Xie Ruhang never thought that Tang Bai would ask in a trembling voice, "Aren't you an omega?"

Xie Ruhang: "????"

Xie Ruhang thought for a moment that he'd misheard him, and with an incredulous look on his face he repeated, "I'm an omega?"

How could he, Xie Ruhang, be omega?

There was no sign of him hitching a ride with an omega, whether it was his looks, his voice, his demeanor, or outside rumors!

It shouldn't!

"What makes you think I'm an omega?" Xie Ruhang frowned, emphasizing to Tang Bai for the record, "I'm the real deal alpha."

Tang Bai thought for a moment that Xie Ruhang was playing a joke on him, like some kind of o-suit bigot joke.

Yet the alpha's intense pheromones hit his nerves over and over again.

...... Could this be the potion of camouflage?

"Did you purposely ask the black market traders to adjust the pheromones disguised by the camouflage potion to the same model as Xiao Cheng?" Tang Bai didn't even quite believe the words that came out of his mouth.

Xie Ruhang: "????"

Xie Ruhang : "What is a camouflage potion?"

"The book says you're an omega, and you get potions that can make omegas disguise as alphas from black market merchants." Tang Bai's head almost exploded in place, "Wasn't it the camouflage potion you bought from the potion merchant with Mo's last name when you first took me to the black market?"

The phoenix eyes flashed with intense confusion.

Xie Ruhang looked at him, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of any camouflage potions, I buy stimulants and healing agents from Mo Lao."

"I suppose if a camouflage potion does exist, even if the omega injected it, it wouldn't be able to perform a temporary tagging like an alpha, would it? I tagged you, and now that I'm releasing pheromones, you should sense something?"

The rich pheromones came pouring through, suggesting a powerful, angry, aggressive alpha that made omega's legs go weak at the smell.

Tang Bai blinked dumbly.

Yeah. Oh.

The camouflage potion isn't hard to alter the internal physiology of an omega, and the one who can mark him must be an alpha, and Xiao ...... Xie Ruhang tagged him.

So Xie Ruhang is not omega.

It's green tea flavored alpha.

It's Xiao Cheng.

My best friend and my favorite alpha are the same person?

My best friend tagged me?

The main character suffers from tagging me a cannon fodder sufferer?

Tang Bai's little brain couldn't handle the huge amount of information, his worldview was shattered in this moment, Tang Bai stumbled, "Don't you like Gu Tunan? Why did you tag me?"

Xie Ruhang sniffed and also condescended, "I don't like Gu Tunan, I only like you."

Tang Bai was even more confused as he stammered a bit, "Wait, you just said you also triggered the temporal properties of the Magic Silver and saw yourself dying in the future, since you are an alpha, how could you be dying?"

Xie Ruhang sincerely said, "The answer to this question, which I would also like to know, is that I will get some incurable disease in the future?"

"It was mentioned in the book that as an omega you were injected with a camouflage potion, the cost of the potion reducing your life." Tang Bai's voice shook so badly he suspected he was reading a homoerotic book.

If that book is false ......

There's no such thing as omega light.

There's no more Xie Ruhang, whom he adores.

The book, the man, doing what he was afraid to do, showing him how powerful an omega could be, showing him that there were other options for the caged bird.

He tries to follow in the footsteps of the Xie Ruhang in the book and tries to break through the shackles that this society puts on omega, he goes to write articles, goes live streaming, goes to mech building competitions, goes to military school ......

He stepped in that man's footsteps and did what he could to follow the other man.

I hope to become as dazzling as that person who can light up others.

Even if he couldn't, it didn't matter, he was already on his way to following the other side and becoming a better version of himself.

It was his star, traveling hundreds of millions of light years through the long darkness, illuminating his entire universe, but now the star had suddenly disappeared.

So Tang Bai's heart was suddenly empty.

"In the book my death was when I injected that camouflage potion, but I haven't injected that potion, which means I probably won't die young?!" The phoenix eyes snapped into a radiant glow.

Tang Bai stared blankly at Xie Ruhang in front of him.

This alpha was not the omega light of his wishful thinking, and would no longer flicker away like the brilliant but fleeting meteor.

He was so young, strong, healthy, a rising sun that would break through all the fog and shine in the new era that was about to dawn.

Yeah, there's no such thing as an omega light Xie Ruhang anymore, but this way, the Xie Ruhang he actually befriended can live in good health.

No need to carry all that stuff.

Without having to endure the physical torture and the accusations of the community, without having to stay forever on the eve of dawn, one dies alone and lonely.

But ......

Why does he want to cry so much?

Amber-colored eyes gazed at Xie Ruhang, and the mist that flooded them coalesced into droplet after droplet, crackling downward.

Rational joy and emotional sadness collided with each other in his chest, bulging into unfamiliar and cutting emotions, as if they could only be vented through tears.

Xie Ruhang panicked, he couldn't find a tissue and carefully used his hand to wipe Tang Bai's tears.

Tang Bai's crying was quiet, he was balled up into a small group, his forehead pressed against Xie Ruhang's chest, his hands gripping Xie Ruhang's clothes, his shoulders twitching slightly.

"Don't cry young master I was wrong."

Young master young master young master young master.

Actually, he should have reacted when Xie Ruhang called him Young Master during the etiquette exam.

No, found Xing Xing button on Xie Ruhang ......

No, he should have found the clue when he smelled Xie Ruhang's smell of Xiao Cheng ......

Is this supposed to say that homoeroticism is harmful?

No! Xie Ruhang does a lot of camouflaging to keep from falling off the horse, too!

Tang Bai's pectoral muscles, which he was now pressing against with his face, were distinctly different from the large pectoral muscles of the previous "Xiao Cheng", and he choked out with reddened eyes, "Why are your pectoral muscles sometimes big and sometimes small?"

Xie Ruhang is silent.

Xie Ruhang is sad.

Xie Ruhang gulped, "I have a fake set of pecs."

Tang Bai: "?" You're a male A wearing fake pectoral muscles is really awesome.

"Then why are your hands often different too?"

Xie Ruhang is weak.

Xie Ruhang was too late for remorse.

Xie Ruhang said stiffly, "I used short-acting scar cream."

Tang Bai rubbed his tears hard on Xie Ruhang's clothes and said fiercely, "Do you know that short-acting scar removal creams irritate the skin? I've sent you so many good ointments, but they can't even compare to the damage done by a short-acting scar removal cream!"

Xie Ruhang slid to his knees on the spot, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have faked it."

"What about your command department major? You always won't let me visit you in the Command Department, is this major also a fake?!" Tang Bai was like a little fake fighter at the moment.

"No, no, no! This one is real!" Xie Ruhang opened his light brain and showed Tang Bai his overnight application for a dual degree.

Tang Bai: "????" Is it true that your motivation to overcome the heavy workload of a dual degree is just to wear Ma Jia for your trumpet?

Xie Ruhang tries to be miserable: "I have to complete double the amount of studying every day, under such an intense training task ......" Xie Ruhang wanted to say that he was exhausted and skinny, but he was eating double portions of love lunches every day, and actually seemed to have gained a little bit of weight.

"It's all about the love for you that keeps it going." Xie Ruhang rephrased.

Tang Bai : "......" It's really hard for you not to fall off the horse.

So far, Xie Ruhang in Tang Bai's heart of the high and cold male image and dream love A image of the total collapse, just the thought of a perfect male god will bring fake pectoral muscles and so on the filter is all broken, okay!

"What about that 'Xiao Cheng' face?" Tang Bai stretched out his hand to tug at this handsome face of Xie Ruhang as he viciously said, "Is that fake face also something you've specially come to bluff me for the sake of trumpet authenticity?!"

The tone of his voice was grumpy to the point of not having the slightest hint of tenderness or smallness!

Never one to enjoy the idol treatment and dream love A's Xie Ruhang : "......"

His cheeks were pinched and twisted by Tang Bai, "No sauce."

Tang Bai grunted, "Don't be cute!"

He let go of the hand that was ravaging Xie Ruhang's face, and saw the slap marks on both sides of Xie Ruhang's cheeks, blinking his phoenix eyes in bewilderment, Xie Ruhang, who had never been evaluated as "adorable" in his entire life, suspected that Tang Bai had been angered by him.

I'm so sinful.

Xie Ruhang confesses.

"My other identity is the 'Rat' of the Underground Arena, Xiao Cheng's human skin mask is actually the disguise of the 'Rat', that day when you were in danger in the slums, I had just come out of the Underground Arena, and the mask hadn't even had time to take it off, so I immediately went to save you."

Xie Ruhang said sincerely, "I didn't think you wouldn't recognize my human mask, since you called me out as 'Rat' straight away when we first met."

Tang Bai froze for a moment, "What I saw in the Magic Silver was a novel, all text descriptions, not pictures." Tang Bai didn't think about investigating the "rat", because the information he read in the novel was definitely more comprehensive than what he investigated, the only thing he didn't know was the "rat's" face, but Tang Bai wasn't interested in the book's "mediocre human skin mask". But Tang Bai is not interested in the book's "plain, uninteresting human skin masks".

Who knew a plain old human skin mask could look so good on Xie Ruhang's face?

"Wait, what about that fake name 'Xiao Cheng'?" Tang Bai said, puzzled, "You could have just told me your real identity, I know you're a 'rat' anyway."

Xie Ruhang was silent for a moment, embarrassed, "Because at that time I thought you were green tea and wanted to stay away from you, so I didn't use my real identity, intending to throw away the Ma Jia of 'Xiao Cheng' when I was done with it."

Tang Bai: "????"

Tang Bai is dumbfounded, "Because I'm running a tea class?"

Xie Ruhang is blushing a little.

Tang Bai: "????" You're blushing like a bubble teapot!

"Because the night before that day's encounter, you told my reader number that you didn't like Xie Ruhang nor Gu Tunan."

Xie Ruhang now recalls his original lesser A heart as shamefully as if he was recalling his black history, he said with difficulty, "At that time, I thought you were ...... every day Seduced me, teased me to the heart and then you were irresponsible, I wanted to stop in time."

Tang Bai: "......"

Tang Bai recalls a series of things he did earlier when he was getting along with Xie Ruhang--

He was so sentimental that he gave Xie Ruhang a love bento, taught Xie Ruhang the OO face salute, touched Xie Ruhang's waist and praised Xie Ruhang for being hot, and told Xie Ruhang that he liked Xiao Cheng ......

Tang Bai's shame level exploded with a bang, his sanity exploded into fireworks in the sky, and he turned red from the tips of his ears to the tips of his toes, like a sweet little apple.

Shark me now.

Tang Bai thought crushingly.
