Chapter 116
It's almost 8:00 p.m. when they come out of the movie theater, Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang walk hand in hand down the street.
I don't see omega's hanging out alone at this hour, Tang Bai used to hang out at this hour either with his father and grandfather, who were the elders, or with Gu Tunan, who was acting as a shield for the blind date, to complete the task.
He thought of the future described in the book, where years later omega could wander around alone without worrying about what they were wearing, without fear of being teased, molested or even raped.
Even if you are walking on the street in the middle of the night, you don't have to be afraid.
"Thinking about what?" Xie Ruhang asked.
Tang Bai shook his head, he pointed to the door of a bar on the side of the street and whispered, "I haven't been here yet."
"Want to go in?" Xie Ruhang asked.
At that exact moment a beta couple pulled open the door to the hidden bar, and for a moment the manic atmosphere spilled out of the door.
It's a place where you can let off some steam and maybe even have a nice encounter with a crowded dance floor.
"I used to." Tang Bai rested his head on Xie Ruhang's shoulder, interlocking his fingers with Xie Ruhang's, "But you've shown me more exciting and better things."
The cheering and dancing, both in the underground arena and throughout the plaza, far exceeded his expectations.
In summer, the temperature difference between day and night is so big that Xie Ruhang was worried that Tang Bai would get cold, so he took off his jacket and draped it over Tang Bai, and together they went to the last destination of today's date process---
Pheromone Museum.
The Pheromone Museum has documented tens of thousands of pheromone flavors, and has thoughtfully designed perfumes that beta's can smell too.
Tang Bai saw a number of comments on the message board, "When will the curator simulate Xie Ruhang's pheromone-scented perfume?" "I'm going to die if I don't smell God Xie's pheromones" "Please give me some dreaming material about God Xie". "I'm going to die if I can't smell God Xie's pheromone" "Please give me a dreaming material about God Xie." ......
Tang Bai unhappily took his pen and wrote, "Xie Ruhang's pheromones can only be smelled by Tang Bai!"
The corners of Xie Ruhang's mouth curved into an arc, and he followed suit by picking up a pen and writing on the back of messages such as "I want to inhale Tang Bai's pheromone" and "Tang Bai is so sweet, the pheromone must be strawberry-flavored": "Tang Bai's pheromone can only be smelled by Xie Ruhang."
The two childish geeks put down their pens and held hands as they sniffed the different flavors of pheromones.
"None of them smell as good as Brother Xie's you." Tang Bai inhaled and commented fairly with a clear conscience.
Xie Ruhang nodded approvingly, he cupped Tang Bai's face, pressed his nose against Tang Bai's cheek, and slowly sniffed Tang Bai's scent.
Tang Bai was a bit tickled by Xie Ruhang's rubbing, he retaliated by scratching Xie Ruhang's itchy flesh, "What are you doing?"
Xie Ruhang pressed Tang Bai's fidgeting hand and said in a serious manner, "Wash your nose."
Tang Bai: "Pfft."
Some people around him looked over, Tang Bai was thin-skinned when it came to this kind of thing, and when he hesitated to push Xie Ruhang away, Xie Ruhang pecked him lightly on the face, a hint of satisfaction in his low voice: "Smells good."
For a moment Tang Bai felt that Xie Ruhang wanted to kiss more than his face, fortunately Xie Ruhang restrained himself, otherwise ......
Tang Bai turned his head to see the staff member walking towards him and heard him ask excitedly, "Hello! Are you Tang Bai? I'm a big fan of yours, I love you so much!"
Tang Bai showed a sweet smile, "Hello."
This staff member glanced at Xie Ruhang, "Would you like a pheromone match test? It's free."
Tang Bai was quite curious about his match with Xie Ruhang, and they were directed by the staff to enter the apparatus.
After waiting for some time, the test results came back.
The staff was amazed, "100% pheromone match!"
"You are destined to be a family!"
A one hundred percent pheromone match means that this alpha and omega are meant to be.
*
Tang Bai was so happy all the way out of the museum that he said he would go back after the pheromone museum, but he couldn't stop and dragged Xie Ruhang along for more.
"We are destined to be together eh!" Tang Bai wondered, "No wonder I especially liked you the first time I saw you!"
"But we didn't smell each other's pheromones at that time either." Tang Bai frowns, "Isn't it true that destined partners are attracted to both sides only when they smell the pheromones?"
Xie Ruhang said softly, "Then we are more fated than fated."
"I still like you even without the pheromone attraction."
Tang Bai was so happy to hear that he didn't care if anyone was watching, he stood on his tiptoes and barfed Xie Ruhang hard, exclaiming, "Me too!"
On a brightly lit night, Tang Bai walks past a long line of hot pot restaurants with a steaming soup skewer, and Xie Ruhang catches a lot of dolls in a crane machine.
There were many pedestrians on the road, and some recognized Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang, but Xie Ruhang's oppressive presence was so strong that passersby who wanted to strike up a conversation hesitated, and then they saw them pass out of sight, seemingly conversing about whose house they were going to for the night.
Fan Passerby: "!!!" Going to the house for what?
"Let's go to my house and watch the video of the Imperial gang's match." Tang Bai realized that Xie Ruhang was holding his hand very tightly, like he was afraid he'd run away.
But when he looked up at Xie Ruhang's side face, he couldn't see anything; Xie Ruhang's expression was calm and restrained, and his gaze down at him was gentle, "Good."
When I brought Xie Ruhang home, there was only Grandpa Tang and his father, and Tang's mother had gone to stay with Li Songyun.
Grandpa Tang is in the weapons research lab, Father Tang is in the study, and Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang are carrying a bunch of dolls to the bedroom.
Placing the new dolls next to a man-sized teddy bear, Tang Bai introduces Xie Ruhang to the dolls he grew up with.
"My favorite thing is to cuddle Jojo in bed." Tang Bai picked up a chubby little Jojo that had faded a bit in the wash and smooched it against the fat Jojo doll.
Xie Ruhang solemnly touched the tips of the little chubby chirp's wings, "It's soft." Not only soft, but filled with Tang Bai's milky candy flavor.
He looked at the small mountain of dolls and suddenly realized that he didn't have to build a nest for his susceptible period to arrive, he just had to get stuck into this pile of dolls and be surrounded by Tang Bai's scent.
"Grandpa made this for me himself." Tang Bai holds out a robot doll.
"This is what Mommy sewed for me." A kitten doll is stroked on the head by Tang Bai.
"Daddy bought this for me." A fine Palulu doll that looks expensive sits on the shelf.
"You caught these for me." Tang Bai gleefully arranges the normal stuffed dolls Xie Ruhang grabbed for him next to Palulu.
"Brother Xie, let me show you my photo albums." Tang Bai brought out three thick albums, he pulled Xie Ruhang to sit down on the thick cashmere carpet, the suspended Xing Xing lamp automatically flew to Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang, the vastness of the light like a river of stars illuminated the open photos.
"Look, this is me at 100 days old." Tang Bai covered that photo of his newborn not to show it to Xie Ruhang.
The full moon photo shows little Tang Bai holding a pacifier, sitting in the center of a red cloth filled with assorted items, his chubby hands grasping super-mini starships and mechs.
"Mom said my grandfather was overjoyed when I was grabbing the starship model and the mech model."
Xie Ruhang looked at the starship's hatred of special metals embedded in all sorts of shiny attractions for toddlers' attention, and he found it understandable that, "You were so cute when you were a kid."
"I'm not going to show you the picture of me when I was born, my mom was born prematurely, I was born very small, my mom took one look at me, and her whole body was bad."
"She thought there would be such an ugly child, and such an ugly Baby was born to her." Tang Bai mimicked Tang's mother's tone of voice and described it to Xie Ruhang in colorful detail.
Xie Ruhang couldn't help but laugh a little.
"But yeah, at the time, my grandpa and my dad were blowing Baby with their eyes closed It was just so cute, what with the eyebrows like grandpa and the eyes like dad."
"My mom thought the kid's eyebrows didn't grow much, so why not say the hair looks like grandpa's? It's bald anyway." Tang Bai covered Xie Ruhang's mouth, "You're laughing too loud!"
"It was only later when I slowly got better looking that the three of them told each other that it turned out they all thought I was too ugly as a newborn, they were just too embarrassed to say so." Tang Bai grunted.
Xie Ruhang is a little curious about what the photo Tang Bai is covering up looks like, but Tang Bai refuses to show it to him.
"This is a picture of me on my first day of kindergarten!" Tang Bai flipped through several pages to the picture of himself wearing a kindergarten uniform and carrying a small school bag as he majestically entered the school gate.
"At that time the whole family was worried that I would cry at my first school, grandpa and dad specially took time off work to accompany me into the kindergarten, I didn't expect that I didn't shed a single tear, I couldn't wait to go in and said that I wanted to see and meet new friends." Tang Bai laughed, "They said they felt the depression of the orphaned elderly in advance."
"I was the favorite child in kindergarten, and I still keep in touch with my kindergarten teacher, who says I'm the sweetest, most obedient and polite child she's ever met!" Tang Bai is proud.
The album flipped from page to page, from Tang Bai's first ride on a pony, "This is a rare account of the early days of human taming of the Sweatblood BMW," to Tang Bai's trip to the farm to jerk a lamb and get overwhelmed by marshmallows, "This one is a tale of human cubs and lambs fighting to the death " ......
From kindergarten to elementary school, elementary school to middle school, middle school to high school, and finally to college, Tang Bai's silhouette in the photo gradually fades into a rounded and childish look, but the light in his eyes never dims.
He will always be the first glowing face that everyone sees in group photos.
Turn to the newest page with two photos on it.
One is an official picture of them with their fingers intertwined and their two rings intertwined.
The other is a screenshot of the game, where they are all wearing the crew uniforms of the Quest, smiling broadly in front of a vast sea of stars.
The photo has a line in Tang Bai's handwriting that reads, "On July 1, 231st year of the astrological calendar, I have found the person who will conquer the starry sea with me~"
Xie Ruhang stared blankly at the group photo.
The first twenty long years of his life that he could not be a part of had finally been turned over, and he would not miss a single important moment of Tang Bai's life.

After reading the Imperial player's tournament materials, Xie Ruhang walked out of Tang Bai's bedroom to see his grandfather and father waiting for him in the living room.
Three alpha's of different ages sat at a table, and this time instead of hot tea, their cups were filled with intoxicating wine.
The three of them drank a lot.
Talked a lot too.
At the end of the day, Grandpa Tang said to Xie Ruhang, "Sugarplum has reached the age when she should get engaged."
"If you win the Mecha Cup this time, take the trophy and get engaged to Sugar."
"The reward for winning the Mecha Cup is a congratulatory gift I have prepared for you both."
