Chapter 12: Chapter 12
The next morning, Tang Bai puts on a floral lace-trimmed apron and the same delicate cuffs and joins Tong Meng for a cooking class.
They learn a new dish each class, and the final exam is a random selection of one of the dishes they have learned, made within a time limit, and graded based on color and flavor.
However, honors students can challenge difficult dishes outside of the scope of the exam and receive a perfect grade in their cooking class once they have successfully prepared them.
The dish the teacher is going to teach today is fish fillet congee.
The rest of the process is fine, but the fish killing is worrying Tong Meng, who looks to Tang Bai.
The redfish was alive on the counter, and as it was about to jump off the counter, a showy hand pressed down on the head, while the other hand held a knife and dryly stunned the fish.
Tang Bai skillfully cuts open the belly and scrapes the scales, slices through the fish from the head to the tail, and removes the fish meat along the bones.
The long fingers are like green onion roots, and the tips of the fingers are lightly powdered, making people worry that these beautiful hands will be cut, and the picture of killing fish made by Tang Bai is a delightful one.
Tong Meng, after seeing a demonstration by the honors student, also held down the redfish, and because of his inexperience, he failed to stun the fish with a single blow, leaving it to struggle in excruciating pain for a long time.
Tang Bai crooked his head and quietly looked around at his omega classmates who were killing fish.
Yesterday, many readers said in the comment section that omega is so delicate how can he kill someone, but at this moment, a thought popped into Tang Bai's mind---
Is there a difference between killing a man and killing a fish?
Hands up and open up.
"Sugar you have great knife skills." Tong Meng couldn't help but praise while cutting the fish.
With wet eyes as innocent and unworldly as a deer's, Tang Bai pursed his lips and smiled as if he was embarrassed to receive a compliment, the dimples on his cheeks appearing shallowly.
It was already eleven o'clock when class ended. Tang Bai packed his congee with sliced fish and carried his lunchbox to Director Huang to approve his leave of absence.
Tang Bai was going to use Gu Tunan as a tool for the last time, and took a leave of absence for the reason of "breaking up with Gu Tunan face to face".
He and Gu Tunan had met both parents after all, and he wanted to formally and politely and decisively make it clear to Gu Tunan, lest the Gu family say behind his back that he had no manners.
"Xiao Tang ah, think again, do you really want to break up with Gu Tunan? Gu Tunan conditions so favorable alpha is not easy to find ......" Director Huang advised bitterly, sucking in his saliva as he spoke, "It smells so good, is this porridge you're giving to that alpha from last night?"
Tang Bai nodded.
"That alpha last night wasn't bad either, although his family isn't as good as Gu Tunan's, he's good in all other aspects, especially his looks." Director Huang patted Tang Bai's shoulder and said with sudden fervor, "Since you've already made your choice, take advantage of it and don't change your mind so easily again! Got it!"
Tang Bai: "......"
Tang Bai: "Teacher, you've got it wrong, Xie Ruhang and I don't have this kind of relationship ......"
Director Huang: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, so his name is Xie Ruhang, ah, quickly love bento to Xie students send over, cold can not be delicious!"
Tang Bai: "......"
Forget it, let it be a misunderstanding, it's easier to take a vacation in the future.
Tang Bai carries a small lunch to the Federal Military Academy, where he decides to find Xie Ruhang first, deliver his lunch, and then talk to Gu Tunan.
The official military training at the Federal Military Academy will not start until tomorrow, so Xie Ruhang should not have anything to do, but Tang Bai stood in the gatehouse for a long time before he saw Xie Ruhang's figure coming with great strides.
"Brother Xie!" Tang Bai shouted energetically, his dimples appearing as he spoke, so sweet that it was intoxicating, he handed the lunchbox to Xie Ruhang, "I made fish congee, I don't know if you like it, Brother Xie~! "
"Next time you don't need to deliver it every day, it's too much trouble." Xie Ruhang took the bento.
"No trouble, no trouble, this is my cooking class homework, not to Brother Xie, but also the teacher as a good work of art to be distributed to classmates to taste." Tang Bai said, "I'm happier if I give it to Brother Xie."
As they stood closer, Tang Bai noticed that Xie Ruhang looked like he had just taken a shower; he was wearing a hat and the ends of his hair were wet.
Tang Bai pulled out his little handkerchief and held it up and beckoned his little hand, "Brother Xie, look down a bit haha."
Xie Ruhang: "?"
Tang Bai gently wiped the water droplets on his black hair with his handkerchief, and said in a broken voice, "The hair is still not dry, ah, Brother Xie, your hair is so good, do you usually use conditioner when you wash your hair?"
At such a close distance, Xie Ruhang could smell the milky scent of Tang Bai's body, and he took a deep breath without moving, not paying any attention to what Tang Bai said.
Drops of water ran down his cheeks and onto his neck, and Tang Bai wiped his neck free of it.
Xie Ruhang's breathing stops slightly.
The neck was a very vulnerable part of the body, and he had never exposed his weaknesses so unabashedly to others, and every part of his body resisted.
As Xie Ruhang tried to take a step back, he saw Tang Bai inhale deeply, narrowing his eyes in contentment and exclaiming, "Brother Xie you smell so good, what brand of body wash and shampoo do you use?"
Xie Ruhang's pupils are seismic.
An omega saying "I like the way you smell" to an alpha is the same as "I like your pheromones", rounded up to I like you!
This little green tea is too bold to be a whine!
Xie Ruhang, who doesn't want to show her shyness, puts on her most calm and seductive voice, and like a veteran of love affairs, she replies, "You smell good, too."
Tang Bai pulled out a perfume bottle, "Do you like it? I'll spray it for you."
Xie Ruhang didn't react for a while, then he saw Tang Bai sniffing at him like a small animal, "Or count on it, the smell you have now is already good, plus my smell is a mixed bag."
Your flavor, plus, my flavor.
An invisible car whizzed past Xie Ruhang's soul, and Xie Ruhang was in a trance, completely incapable of coming up with a more exciting tirade to get back in the game.
He, who lost ......
"By the way Brother Xie, are you free today? I haven't taught you etiquette yet." Tang Bai asked.
Xie Ruhang was silent for a moment and said, "There is no hurry in etiquette, so I don't need to teach it today, and ...... I'll be busy for a while, so I can't accompany you to the slums tonight."
"I'm sorry I broke my word."
Busier? Is something wrong?
"It's fine, it's fine, I happen to be planning to go to your school's library to borrow books and read materials related to mechanics, it's just as well to go to the slums after a while!" Tang Bai, dreading Xie Ruhang's self-reproach, said in a loud voice, "Reading specialized books is also a way to collect materials, it doesn't affect my writing at all!"
I thought that after letting the pigeon go, a pampered little omega like Tang Bai would get angry, but I didn't expect Tang Bai to be so understanding, a little warmth emerged in Xie Ruhang's eyes, "What kind of book are you looking for? I'll accompany you to the library to borrow a book."
"Mechanical Principles and Construction, Common Weapon Processing and Manufacturing, Energy Vibration, and Mecha Modification and Painting Craftsmanship ......" Tang Bai opened his mouth and reported a series of book titles without looking at any hints, Xie Ruhang was a bit surprised by Tang Bai's knowledge of these titles.
But Xie Ruhang isn't surprised when he thinks of Tang Bai's grandfather, who was head of the Arms Research Institute.
He took Tang Bai to the library to check out these books and then left in a hurry, looking busy with a lot of things to do.
Tang Bai asked Xie Ruhang what he was up to and if he could help, but Xie Ruhang didn't say anything.
I don't know if I'll lose weight if I'm so busy. Maybe I'll make a snack for Xie Ruhang tonight!
Tang Bai's eyes lit up and he thought it would work, he was sitting in a restaurant waiting for Gu Tunan, who was expected to be late as usual, but this time Gu Tunan actually arrived on time.
So Gu Tunan has a sense of time in his head, Tang Bai lamented.
"Have you ordered yet?" Gu Tunan asked as he picked up the menu, and after hearing that Tang Bai hadn't ordered yet, he chose a few dishes, thinking that omega's all like desserts, and added a cup of mango coconut milk shaved ice.
After ordering, Gu Tunan folded his arms and looked straight at Tang Bai, ready to have a good talk with Tang Bai, like staying away from Xie Ruhang and distancing himself from other alpha's if he wanted to be his fiancée.
"I came to you today to talk about our breakup."
Gu Tunan : "......?"
"Oh, I was wrong, it's not a breakup."
Gu Tunan's expression softened as he picked up his glass of water and took a sip.
"After all, we've never been together before." As soon as Tang Bai's words left his mouth, he saw Gu Tunan choking on the water and coughing.
"What the hell do you mean?" Gu Tunan's voice was a bit hoarse after coughing, and he frowned at Tang Bai like he was looking at an unreasonable child.
Tang Bai doesn't like the way Gu Tunan looks at him, he doesn't like it very much, he doesn't like it at all, he doesn't like this kind of "looking down" look.
Because that look lacks a minimum of respect.
He raised his chin, his beautiful amber eyes looking arrogantly at Gu Tunan, "The meaning of wanting to part with you once and for all, I will explain it clearly to my family, there is no love between us, our personalities are not compatible with each other, we are not suitable to be together."
Gu Tunan's expression stiffened little by little.
"If you're worried about your aunt and uncle being angry, just blame me for this, I was the one who insisted on leaving you, and you tried to retain it, but it didn't work." Tang Bai raised an eyebrow and blessed without any sincerity, "Finally, I wish you to find the omega of your choice soon."
Gu Tunan frowned throughout, his brow seeming to leave an unfadeable crease, "...... You want to be with Xie Ruhang?"
Tang Bai: "????"
What are you two and two brainstorming about!
The displeasure of having someone else's possession was stronger than ever before, and the words Qin Jun had spoken were clear as day in Gu Tunan's mind:
-- "A lowly maggot that's only good for squirming in the gutter, I wonder what your little fiancée sees in him?
-- "Your fiancée-to-be, your all-important, your omega is being fingered by a pariah."
--"Pariah with a slut."
Good upbringing let Gu Tunan can not like Qin Jun like bad language, but the heart of the displeasure is nowhere to drain, thin lips slightly pursed, gray-blue eyes like a layer of ice, half a moment, he slowly spoke: "You can not smell the stench of his body?"
--"Even if his skin is well-born, his blood is dirty and lowly."
Tang Bai: "????"
What are you babbling about? I smelled it! My omega brightness smells super! It smells better than your stinking alpha!
"Wouldn't you feel sick to eat with him after cleaning the toilet?"
-- "Eating with these bedbugs is a real appetite killer ......"
Tang Bai, who was in a daze, heard this and his small face suddenly sank, "What did you say? What happened to Xie Ruhang?"
"He attacked a classmate and was punished by the school." Gu Tunan coldly said, "Punished for cleaning the toilets of the whole school for a month, I think after a month, the stench on his body can't be washed off no matter how much he washes it off."
Tang Bai: "!!!"
Tang Bai was going to crack, his fragrant poor innocent omega light was actually going to have to suffer this punishment!
But in the original story, it was clearly written that Xie Ruhang and Qin Jun had a confrontation during the first etiquette class, so how come this happened earlier?
Tang Bai asked uncertainly, "Did Xie Ruhang strangle Qin Jun?"
Gray-blue eyes flashing with a hint of mockery, Gu Tunan said disdainfully, "Xie Ruhang went to sell out with you?"
"Did he tell you that he hit Qin Jun because he verbally insulted you?"
Tang Bai: "?????????"
