Chapter 38: Chapter 38
Xie Ruhang saw Tang Bai's bashful, red-faced appearance, coughed, and said, "Well, it's getting late, I'll take you guys home."
These children do not live in the same safe place as Green Street, and some of them even live in the more remote hills, where they usually stay at Mr. Ling's place until the evening, when their parents come to collect them one by one after finishing their work.
If Xie Ruhang came home early, Xie Ruhang would take the children home.
A total of twenty children, lined up in Xie Ruhang's hovercar, filled the car to overflowing, and couldn't take their eyes off the snacks in the cupboards, but none of them made a move to take them.
"They are so good." Tang Bai followed Xie Ruhang obediently, exclaiming softly and with a little voice that hadn't yet faded from crying.
"It's going to take me some time to send them back, would you like to stay here with Mr. Ling?" Xie Ruhang's fingers twitched, and with amazing self-control he suppressed the urge to touch Tang Bai's head.
Tang Bai shook his head as he opened his light brain and clicked on readers group, "I have a readers group ......"
Xie Ruhang : "!!!"
My trumpet fell off the horse?
"Look, there's a reader in the group discussing education, she's talking about inequality of educational resources for civilian students and basic education for omega's ......" Tang Bai turned over the long chat logs in the readers' group to show Xie Ruhang.
Xie Ruhang in near cardiac arrest : "......"
"I think everyone in the group is very nice, all very gentle people, and we all want this community to get better." Tang Bai sniffles a little, "If they knew the real conditions in the slums, they would want to help the people here too, I think."
"They, like me in the old days, don't know the reality of the slums, and all we know about the slums is the bits and pieces that circulate on the internet, what with all the garbage streets, the dumps, the junkies, the junkies, the beggars, the vagabonds."
Tang Bai bit his lower lip as he stood in front of Xie Ruhang like a student admitting his mistake and reviewed himself, "...... I always used to think that it was because these people were lazy, had poor self-control, and refused to go to serious studies or work hard that they tossed themselves into such a miserable state."
"But I realized I was wrong."
"I'm especially ignorant, especially why don't I eat meat." Another layer of moisture diffused into her amber eyes, but this time Tang Bai tried very hard to hold back her tears, "It's this general environment that doesn't give them the opportunity, and it doesn't give us the opportunity to learn about the slums, so I'm trying to get everyone in the group, and more people online, to learn about the slums."
"The world is so big with kind people, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to help, so let's put our heads together and we'll come up with a solution!"
Soaked in tears, those piercing eyes looked like sparkling gems.
Xie Ruhang only felt that his heart was about to be filled with this moist vapor, a little sour and swollen, all very soft emotions.

Celebrity book exchange group.
Tea Class Video Blogger:"[video]"
Tea class video blogger: "@AllMembers came across something today and wanted to share it with you."
Bai Zhi, who was working, frowned when he saw the disappearing prompt that suddenly popped up, he had previously pulled this video blogger into the group to facilitate the exchange of imitation makeup ideas between the other party and the group members before giving the other party administrator point status, not letting this blogger share her daily life with the group members.
The confusion in his eyes deepened as he entered the group chat and saw the malnourished face of only a slum kid on the cover of the video.
It was a group of ghetto kids sitting in a hovercar, an adult seat for three kids, two kids huddled together, and a third kid sitting on their lap.
Most of them were dressed in shabby, dusty clothes, a world away from the dress code of the noble omega in the video.
"I heard Mr. Ling say that Little Brother Xie brother bought you guys new clothes, why aren't you guys wearing new clothes?" Noble omega asked softly.
One of the children closest to the noble omega didn't dare to look at the camera or look directly at the noble omega, his eyes fluttered and his fingers kept twisting the old clothes that had been washed until they were white, "The new clothes were given to my sister."
"For a sister? Do you have a sister?"
The hand gripping his shirt touched the bulging pocket, and the boy gave a slight nod.
The noble omega rummaged through the beautiful gift box to show this child the various flavors of colorful little cookies, "Then take some more little cookies for your sister."
The little kid shook his head as he carefully opened his pocket, "There."
"How is this little enough to eat?" The noble omega stuffed the scattered packages of small cookies into a small pocket, who expected the quality of the clothes to be so poor that with a tear, the pocket stuffed with small cookies broke into a large hole, and everything contained inside fell out.
After a moment of soldiering, the boy held a tin of cookies and whispered thank you.
His look was one of suppressed delight, while the children around him had envy in their eyes.
There were only so many cookies, it was impossible to give twenty children a tin of cookies, everyone envied the lucky man who had a hole in his dress and was promised new clothes and a tin of cookies by the noble omega.
"Whatever you guys want, I'll buy it for you too." This young master obviously also realized this and hurriedly remedied the situation.
Those children looked at him timidly, not daring to speak.
"Your school bags are old, how about I buy you new ones?" Most of the children in the video are holding not school bags at all, but cloth and plastic bags, and a few are simply holding their books in their hands.
Those exercise books were covered in writing on the covers, watermarks covering the dense pencil writing for who knows how long.
Very few students use these paper exercise books anymore, most kids are using student photobrains like Homework Helper.
"There is a great shortage of teaching materials for these children, who will be going to school in six months, and the school is the only basic education institute in the slums, which is not equipped with basic teaching equipment, the most 'high-tech' being perhaps a projector."
"The textbooks they'll be using from now on are paper textbooks left behind by the kids from several sessions ago, which their teachers will hand out to them when they get to school."
The pretty omega explains a few things to the camera, he says this with a stern little face, when turning his head to the child that face softens again, "I'll bring you new sketchbooks next time, okay?"
"I have draft paper." A child whispered, "There's tons of scrap paper at home that I can write on."
The other kids nodded, "Yes, you can write on all the wrapping paper in the dump."
"Wouldn't it be nice to use a new sketchbook?" The noble omega whispered, "Don't you like a brand new sketchbook?"
The boy shook his head, "Not like that."
The answer made the young noble jam for a split second, "Why?"
Then he heard the boy's thin, mosquito-like reply, "...... The new one wants money."
As the video played, a member of the group had already spoken, "Too old to watch this kind of stuff, these kids are many times more obedient than my little ancestor."
"Where is this? How can this place be so poor? @TeaClassVideoBlogger"
"Can you sponsor these kids? I can sponsor these kids through college @TeaClassVideoBlogger"
"I'm willing to build a school, do you have their principal's contact info?"
"Let's start a fundraiser by @TeaClassVideoBlogger, I'll call in."
......
Bai Zhi withdrew his eyes and continued to play the video.
"Lu Xiaoshan, what do you want?" Seeing that the kid didn't say anything, the noble omega followed his advice, "Don't you like mechs? Any parts and paint jobs you want? I can even give you a mecha model!"
The child called Lu Xiaoshan was very handsome, even with his dark complexion it was hard to hide his heroic spirit, Bai Zhi guessed that this child should be an alpha, because alpha and omega are naturally more outstanding.
Compared to the previous timid child, this child named Lu Xiaoshan's expression was much more calm, he seemed to be a very opinionated child, Bai Zhi guessed that this child would ask for some mecha parts, if this child asked for a mecha in a big way, I am afraid that the young master of that landlord's family would agree to it as well.
Because this aristocratic omega had an air of well-protected simplicity about him, and to put it plainly, the term "people are stupid and rich" was simply tailor-made for this aristocratic little young master.
"I want a rag doll." Bai Zhi heard the child speak clearly.
Bai Zhi: "?"
"You want a rag doll? Do you like Palulu too?" The noble omega exclaimed, "You've come to the right person, I have a huge collection of out-of-print Palulu ......."
Lu Xiaoshan's eyes flashed with confusion as he repeated, "I want a rag doll, not Palulu."
He said, "My mommy is sick and I want a rag doll to stay with me."
Bai Zhi watched the video in silence, watched as that young master's hand fell on Lu Xiaoshan's head, watched as that young master reached out and hugged three children in one breath.
The sun had set outside the car window in the video, and the magnificent evening sunlight poured over the young nobleman's body, the warm tones making the scene look warm.
The video ends here, looking at the blacked out screen, Bai Zhi drops his eyes and picks up the cup of black tea that has gone cold, the icy chains of his glasses hanging down on his face as he holds the cup of black tea and looks sideways at the lights outside the window.
The council building was situated in the busiest area of the city, the neon light on the ground was more brilliant and eye-catching than the evening sun in the sky, the splendor seemed to not see any dark side.
After a long time, Tang Bai's live streaming trumpet suddenly received a message from Bai Zhi: "I've thought about it for a while, the swinger theme is eye-catching, but it's too radical, and even if we have a follow-up marketing campaign next, this theme will bring a certain amount of negative impact to your account."
Tang Bai: "!!!"
Tang Bai : "I was just about to say that too!!!"
Tang Bai : [I think we can expand the scope of the topic this time, gland removal surgery is not only done by omega in the red light district, there are also a lot of omega who are trying to earn money to support their families, they also go for gland removal surgery to make a living, these things if not told people won't know about it, we should let more people pay attention to this ......]
Then Tang Bai saw the big guy who has been quite official with his trumpet ......
Sent a smiley emoticon.
Bai Zhi: [Hmmm [smile.jpg]]
Tang Bai's typing hand suddenly shook.

After sending all the children home, it was already completely dark, and Tang Bai's heart sank like a stone as he recalled the children's humble houses, the food they had spent the night on, and their restrained parents.
The last time he came to the slums with Xie Ruhang, his attention was more on the mysterious black market, immersed in the dislocation of the overlap between the real world and the world of the book, and he came here in a daze, taking in too much, but ignoring the people struggling at the bottom of the hierarchy.
This time Tang Bai shot a lot of footage, the footage is basically interviews with children, all with their permission, the slums are not allowed to film the red light district, underground arenas, black markets, but they will not hide even the food and clothing of the people at the bottom.
Tang Bai is going to cut the footage into a video and post it online.
"Here we are." Xie Ruhang parked the car and looked at Tang Bai who was a bit tired, "Hungry? Eat some snacks first to pad your stomach, I'll make something for you to eat later."
Tang Bai: "!!!"
Tang Bai was instantly energized, having never tasted Xie Ruhang's handiwork!
Xie Ruhang's house was upstairs from Mr. Ling's, and was decorated in a simple style, the coldest and hardest of all the omega rooms Tang Bai had ever seen.
Marble floor tiles, white walls with no wallpaper or paint, not even a pillow on the living room sofa, and a bouquet of withered flowers on top of the coffee table.
"This is what those kids gave me." Xie Ruhang saw Tang Bai looking at the dried flowers in the glass and opened his mouth to explain.
"It's a bit of a pity that the flowers are left like this to give up, next time you can make dried flower bookmarks so that you don't waste the beauty of the flowers~" Tang Bai surveyed the overly cold house and laughed, "Brother Xie, the walls of your house are very clean, and I'm a bit itchy to look at them. The walls in our house are all hand-painted and fancy by me."
This is the first time Xie Ruhang has heard Tang Bai talk about his home, a place that makes you feel good with just a few words.
"Would you eat tomato and egg noodles?" There wasn't much in the fridge to make this dish.
"I'll eat it all!" Tang Bai followed Xie Ruhang into the kitchen, which was so new that it looked like it was seldom used during the week, and what looked like almost brand new rags had been carefully folded by their owner into small tofu blocks.
Xie Ruhang wouldn't let Tang Bai help, so Tang Bai just stood by and watched. Thinking about the live broadcast in a while, Tang Bai decided to take a shower first, as he had spent half a day running in the slums today, and his body had gotten grimy from rubbing off somewhere.
"Brother Xie, can I borrow your bathroom and your clothes?"
Xie Ruhang, who was slicing a tomato, almost cut her own hand when she heard this, "...... What?"
These seductive, evocative words were simply the green tea's killer move to tease a man, causing Xie Ruhang's heart to beat violently, and for a moment she didn't know what to do in response.
Tang Bai blinked his eyes, "I want to take a shower, and I also want to borrow Brother Xie's clothes from you to wear." He said it with a straight face, after all, it was a pretty normal thing for good girlfriends to swap clothes.
But Brother Xie might not be used to lending his clothes to others?
Seeing Xie Ruhang's hesitant expression, Tang Bai quickly said, "It's okay for me to wear the outfit I'm wearing now."
Xie Ruhang : "!!!"
What else could Xie Ruhang say at this moment, he hurriedly said, "It's still comfortable to wear clean clothes after a bath, I'll help you get your clothes."
Tang Bai nodded and said sweetly, "Brother Xie, please."
Xie Ruhang's temples were throbbing, and the knowledge from the strategy class actually appeared in his mind, the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy advances and I retreat, when he was unprepared, Tang Bai boldly attacked and caught him by surprise, when he was hesitant, Tang Bai made another tactical retreat and quickly shook his military heart.
This time the trick is good enough to go down as a classic Green Tea tactic, right? ......
Green Tea TIPS 12: Bold offense, tactical retreat, grasping ambiguity in push-pull combinations.
Walking to Xie Ruhang's bedroom, Tang Bai found that the bookshelves in the bedroom were filled with all kinds of books related to the founding marshals, such as "Marshal's Quotations" and "The First Star Corps", the books were arranged according to the height, width and thickness of the books, and Tang Bai was in a wonderful mood to watch the idols of the idols.
No, when my Brother Xie comes out with a book, or some marshal's memoirs or something, I'm going to buy a whole bunch of them too!
So thought Tang Bai, who was suddenly burning with a strange desire to win.
"My clothes might be too big for you." Xie Ruhang opens the closet and picks up a dress when she suddenly hears Tang Bai's "pfft" laugh.
Xie Ruhang turned back to see Tang Bai smiling with two dimples coming out, "I just saw the kitchen rags and wondered, Brother Xie are you folding everything you can into tofu blocks, and sure enough, hahahahahaha ......"
Tang Bai, who had laughed enough, poked Xie Ruhang's shoulder with his finger and said with arched eyebrows, "Brother Xie, you're so cute."
The finger moved away from his shoulder and easily hooked away the shirt in Xie Ruhang's hand, "Bigger can still be a sexy boyfriend shirt~"
At that moment, Xie Ruhang's heart seemed to be seduced by this slender white finger.
Tang Bai finished his shower and changed into Xie Ruhang's shirt, which was large and just long enough to reach his thighs, so loose and comfortable that he didn't even need to wear pants.
And the shirt was soaked in a few places with undried water, revealing some evocative curves between the haze.
Xie Ruhang: "......"
Xie Ruhang forced himself to calm down, "It's not quite appropriate for you, you to not wear pants in front of me."
Tang Bai, who is toweling his wet hair: "?"
Tang Bai: "Brother Xie, what are you so shy about, what you have, I have too?"
That being said, it sounds true that Xie Ruhang has everything Tang Bai has as an alpha.
But Tang Bai has something he doesn't !!!!!!!
Xie Ruhang's throat rolled, trying not to look at those long, bare legs, "But ......"
Tang Bai put down the towel and said with a straight face, "And we are good friends!"
It's normal for good sisters to shower together!
Alas, wuli Guang Guang is good at everything, but too shy and too reserved!
It's actually understandable because Brother Xie has been loading A's for so many years and doesn't have any experience with omega little sisters, and AA's would never go to the bathroom hand in hand with each other, but omega's can still go to the shared bath together hand in hand with each other!
You want to meet Brother Xie for a dip?
Tang Bai had a list of omega little sister activities popping into his head, and was going to take the time to organize them one by one for Xie Ruhang!
Xie Ruhang who heard the standard green tea good friend quote : "......"
Looking at Xie Ruhang's noodles, Tang Bai took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good!"
This tomato and egg noodle dish is simple home cooking and Xie Ruhang's level is average; the eggs are scrambled a bit old and the noodles, while not quite as juicy as each noodle, aren't as bad as sticking together.
But none of that matters. What matters is that Xie Ruhang made the noodles!
My idol himself gave me the following to eat!!!!
Tang Bai picked up the noodles and eggs and took a big mouthful of the hot tomato and egg flavor, Tang Bai blew a rainbow fart, "Brother Xie, the noodles you made smell so good! One bite and all the fatigue of the whole day is gone."
The loose neckline reveals Tang Bai's delicate collarbone, and Xie Ruhang painfully lowers her head to see her sweetheart's bare, slender legs swaying under the table, her bud-like toes curling up mischievously as she speaks.
Xie Ruhang : "......"
Xie Ruhang sorrowfully covered her eyes, "I'm a little sleepy, close your eyes first."
Tang Bai said understandingly, "Brother Xie why don't you go lie down on the bed?"
When Xie Ruhang came out again, Tang Bai had already eaten a lot and was lying on the sofa rubbing his own stomach. Seeing Xie Ruhang coming out, Tang Bai obediently showed the back of his neck and said softly, "Brother Xie, come over here and take a look~"
Xie Ruhang : "......"
Don't tease, if you do, you're really going to lose them ......
