Chapter 48: Chapter 48

The pupils of his dark phoenix eyes collapsed, Xie Ruhang only felt a wave of dizziness, his and Tang Bai's beautiful love had received a huge shock, Xie Ruhang took a deep breath and stubbornly said, "Impossible."

No way, Tang Bai must have made a mistake!

If not love, are all those elaborate bento lunches, ambiguous instruction in etiquette, defense of his every word and action and the sweet memories of this time all fake?

Not to talk about love to engage in career: "Tang Bai previously said in the live broadcast, he and Xie Ruhang is a like-minded good friends, send bento as imitation makeup is also a normal interaction between close friends, Tang Bai also said and Gu Tunan never had a marriage contract, they are just elders jokingly referred to as prospective fiancé husband and wife. "

Xie Ruhang : "......"

Xie Ruhang thought the worst ending would be him receiving a green hat, but he never thought he would even be qualified to wear one!

Not in love, but in business: "As for your comment about Tang Bai sending lunchboxes to Gu Tunan today, omega sending lunchboxes to alpha doesn't necessarily mean love, it could be that Gu Tunan did something, so Tang Bai sent lunchboxes to express his gratitude?"

Not in a relationship for a career:"[catwink.jpg]"

Xie Ruhang : "............"

"It's a 'rat'!"

"Surely an ace of the underground arena ......"

The ball-masked spectators in the stands shouted frantically at one of the mechs on the martial arts stage, and the screams that rose and fell almost converged into a mountainous wave that toppled the entire underground arena.

The scantily clad American commentator was shivering from the crushing maneuvers of "Rat" on the field, screaming, "Who else is there? Who's next to challenge Rat?"

No one dared to step up to the challenge.

Within five minutes of the start, the first rookie king to rush onto the stage was defeated, and the freshly warmed humanoid mech was knocked to the ground.

The mecha head corresponded to the location of the cockpit, and at that moment the twisted mecha head seeped out energy fluid.

The other three mechs who originally wanted to challenge "Rat" were bloodless, they originally waited for the monthly challenge of "Rat" and were prepared to defeat "Rat" in a wheel battle, but at this moment they were They stared at the pitch-black mecha on the martial arts field with stiff bodies.

It was the long night of the rat.

In just five minutes, the "rat" in the martial arts field performed a perfect slaughter, they saw the long night spread wings, bat wings mimicry of the flying machine to give it ghost-like speed, the light and athletic mecha silhouette as if to participate in the ball, harvesting the life of the gesture interpretation of the brutal violence of the aesthetics.

In the face of absolute strength suppression, all resistance was comical to the point of being ridiculous.

"Hahahahaha this batch of mechs goons again!" "MAD goons!" "You bunch of limp-wristed shrimps hurry up and go home to your moms!"

Amidst the jeers of the audience, these few mechs who were deserters left in disgrace, they were afraid of "Rat's" ultimate combat skills, and even more afraid of "Rat's" unforgiving fighting style, and they did not think it was worth their while to challenge "Rat". "The price to pay would be their lives.

The pitch-black mech stood silently on the elevated platform and left the field amidst the cheers of the entire crowd.

Although not a single word was said, that Mei O commentator was still full of florals, "Too handsome, too handsome, too handsome, too handsome, 'Mouse' is really strong to the point of being impeccable, he only needs to succeed in guarding the ring next time, and then he can become the real 'King'! now."

Inside the mech parking room, Xie Ruhang jumped down from the long night, he had managed to finish guarding the ring for the month, and had a month off from having to come back to the Underground Arena, he changed into his regular clothes and removed the Lucky Stones from his mech combat suit.

This lucky stone is only half the size of a fingernail cap, and its surface is pitted, but under the light it glows with color, and even if it's not carved, it can't hide its beauty.

Xie Ruhang looked down at the lucky stone for a moment.

It was a relic left to him by his mother, and perhaps psychologically, he could sometimes look at the stone and think of his deceased mother, and the first time he went up to the Underground Arena to fight, he brought it along with him on the off chance that he might die.

Because he had heard that if a person's attachment to the earthly world was too deep after death, those reluctance would be turned into wishes to be deposited in the relics, silently guarding the closest relatives and loved ones.

Then he won and made a habit of carrying the stone with him every time he went to compete in the underground arena.

He mentally took the stone of unknown ore as a lucky stone, representing his mother's patronage of him.

Xie Ruhang puts this small stone into a lucky charm and then into the pocket of his regular clothes.

With that done, and after he made sure there were no surprises with the human skin mask on his face, Xie Ruhang stepped out of the mech parking room and turned to leave the underground arena.

He didn't want to show his real face in the Underground Arena, and although his real appearance was not a secret to some of the powerful and aristocratic spectators and the Arena's director, the general public didn't know that "Rat" was Xie Ruhang.

The reason for this started out as a fear of getting in trouble with the wrong people.

Xie Ruhang first entered the underground arena at the age of fourteen, and because of his face he ran into a lot of trouble, such as some difficult spectators chasing him backstage and wanting to go out with him, throwing flowers at him while he was in the ring, and even some people offering to keep him. ......

At that time he was too young, his features had not grown, there was no aura that is now prohibitive, even if every time to the suitors cold face, with that childish Shu Li face, like a rose with thorns, however, let a person more want to fold the flowers of the desire.

Then he changed his moniker and wore a mediocre human skin mask for every match and didn't have that kind of trouble.

The dark-haired, dark-eyed alpha walked down the streets of the slums in his dark clothes, he didn't look out of place, yet passersby still couldn't help but give him a second glance.

This attraction can perhaps only be explained by the temperament, cool and detached, arrogant and indifferent, when the colorful beauty is covered up, Xie Ruhang's own unique temperament is highlighted instead.

Xie Ruhang Walking from the bustling Ziyang district to the dilapidated Garbage Street, she saw that it was incredibly busy, with a fledgling school building replacing what had been a stinking mountain of garbage.

In order to complete the drawings of the school, which had been carefully designed by the wife of a professor of architecture, the ladies' group hired five hundred construction workers in the slums and spent a week constructing the beginnings of the school building, the cafeteria, the gymnasium, the library, and the playground, which was expected to take more than a week more to build.

In order to welcome the new school, the trash on the ground in the neighborhood was cleaned up by people on their own initiative, and the workers who were working on it looked tired, but their eyes couldn't hide their joy when they looked at it all.

Every time Xie Ruhang passes by, he is witnessing the progress of a building that has been a labor of love for all of us, but even so, he is still in a trance when he stops here today.

In the past, the mountain of garbage surrounded by flies and cockroaches is still not much memory left in the mind, on the mud ground rigorously arranged as high as the building, each one is much more beautiful than the surrounding low-rise bungalows and wooden houses, and everything in front of us is revitalized, as if flowers bloomed out of the silt.

"Look! They're coming!" The voices of the workers interrupted Xie Ruhang's thoughts, and Xie Ruhang looked up to see a hovercar followed by a huge transport ship.

There were many omegas sitting on the hovercars, they were not dressed ostentatiously, but the material looked very soft and comfortable, and their delicate skin glowed with a healthy glow, everyone was elegantly groomed, very different from the people in the slums.

As the hovercar came to a stop, one of the people in charge overseeing the building process came respectfully to the group of omegas and reported on the progress to a blonde-haired, green-eyed omega.

Many of the workers hurriedly put their clothes in order, the weather was too hot, some of them were bare-chested, some of them lifted their clothes upwards, exposing their stomachs, normally this was nothing to do, but in front of this group of noble omega it was rude to do so.

These beautiful and elegant omega's helped build schools for their children for free, offered them a generous salary with meals included, and they were so grateful that even if they couldn't give anything back, they didn't want to dirty themselves with these noble omega's eyes.

Tang Bai stepped down from the car with his umbrella, he had arranged with a group of omega ladies in the readers' group to deliver the supplies today as well as to see the progress of the school's construction.

What he didn't expect was to see Lu Xiaoshan, the child who also stayed on the construction site, the child seemed to be looking for something, the whole person was exposed to the sunlight, dark skin with a slight reddish color.

"Xiaoshan!" Tang Bai waved at Lu Xiaoshan.

Lu Xiaoshan turned around at the sound and saw Tang Bai standing in a group of noble omega, he hurriedly ran towards Tang Bai.

"What are you doing here? You're sweating from the heat." Tang Bai squatted down and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the beads of sweat from Lu Xiaoshan's face.

"I'm looking for my dad, he didn't come home yesterday, mom said he might have come here to work." Lu Xiaoshan is somewhat uncomfortably wiped in sweat by Tang Bai.

"I'll look for it with you." Tang Bai consoled, "Don't be in a hurry."

"No need to bother brother Sugarplum, my dad he should have just been busy last night and didn't come home, he should be back today." Lu Xiaoshan bowed deeply to Tang Bai and the other omega's looking over, he wasn't too used to being around strangers, especially standing next to these noble ladies.

Thanked Tang Bai's kindness, Lu Xiaoshan turned around and ran away, although he was small, but he ran very fast, and ran away in a puff of smoke.

"Is this the kid who appeared on your live feed last time?" An officer's wife laughed, "He's a fast runner."

"Too thin." The other lady frowned heartily, "The arms are so thin that they don't even have any meat on them."

"But what about the bright eyes." An older lady lamented.

"Just now when Xiao Tang crouched down and wiped that kid's sweat, that kid's face got even redder all of a sudden, very easily shy."

"Aiya aiya aiya, it's not that the child is easily shy, it's that Xiao Tang is too beautiful, I tell you, children are even more face-controlling than adults, that kid of mine has seen Xiao Tang's live broadcast once, and he's been chattering about wanting to see his beautiful brother every day, and he even said that he wants to marry Xiao Tang when he grows up!"

"Eh, Xiao Tang is not married yet?" "Yes, Xiao Tang, you're still single, right? That's really great, I must matchmake for you ......."

Tang Bai: "......"

Tang Bai felt his head spinning as he was sandwiched between a group of ladies who wanted to introduce him to someone.

"You're all making Xiao Tang shy. Our Xiao Tang has a favorite." said a lady who is close to Tang's mother. said a lady who is close to Tang's mother.

Those ladies who had seen Tang Bai's issue of the gland-scarred faux-makeup had also oohed and aahed meaningfully.

Tang Bai: "?"

What's with the eye contact? It's not what I think it is, is it? Xie Ruhang and I are really just sisters!

Tang Bai felt a pang of exhaustion at the thought that his relationship with Xie Ruhang had been misunderstood yet again, and that yesterday's X had misunderstood his relationship with Xie Ruhang as well.

He made a point of explaining it to X. The more he described it, the more he teared up, and X was so enlightened that he shut himself up in place, and hasn't approached him for a chat today.

The previous "X" was a little angel who would say good morning, good afternoon and good night to him!

I don't know why, but Tang Bai's heart felt a little empty.

He shook his head and walked towards the construction site with the ladies by his side, when a sobbing "Brother Tang Bai" made Tang Bai stop in his tracks.

He turned around and saw a skinny kid running towards him with red eyes, this kid was wearing worn out long sleeves and pants, his shoes had a hole in them, his face was covered with a lot of mud, his face was yellow and skinny, his cheeks were going to be sunken in, it was the kind of look that would make people's heart ache just by looking at it.

Tang Bai froze for a moment, he hurriedly comforted the somewhat stranger child: "What's wrong? What happened? Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly."

This child stood panting in front of Tang Bai and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Tang Bai, Mr. Ling has something urgent for you."

Mr. Ling is looking for me urgently?

"I, I just ran over and accidentally fell, I must have delayed Mr. Ling ......" This child seemed to be overwhelmed by guilt in the middle of his sentence, and he couldn't help but cry.

"Don't cry, don't cry, ah, brother will go over with you now." Tang Bai consoled this child for a couple of moments, and turned to the Lady's group, "Sorry, something seems to have happened on the side of one of my friends, so I won't be joining you all in your activities for now."

"What's going on, do you want us to go there together to help?" "Will it be unsafe to go with just you and a kid?"

"I... I know the way! I'll protect Tang Bai's brother!" As if eager to redeem himself, the choking child assured, "If bad people come, I'll hold their thighs and let my brother run away first!"

The child who was so thin that a gust of wind could blow him over said so, and it made the hearts of these ladies melt.

"Brother, Mr. Ling said as long as brother goes over alone, if there are two brothers go over together, then is it that I didn't complete the task Mr. Ling gave me well ah." The tear-soaked eyes looked timidly at Tang Bai, making Tang Bai's heart soften: "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, brother will go with you to find Mr. Ling."

Tang Bai was armed with a bunch of life-saving weapons, he didn't worry about his own safety, and after thanking the ladies for their kindness, Tang Bai followed the boy out.

The child's body was thinner than the average child's, so thin that he felt light-headed, and when he walked quickly, Tang Bai was always worried that the child might fall.

Wearing long sleeves and pants in summer, his family was too poor to buy summer clothes, Tang Bai looked at the child's back with pain in his heart, and when his eyes fell on the child's neck, which was not covered by fabric, Tang Bai saw traces of ulcers.

Tang Bai's breath hitched.

I think he's seen a similar skin ......

By the way, it was the first time he and Xie Ruhang had gone to the black market in the slums, and he'd seen a couple of junkies between the dimly lit hallways, and those people's bare skin was just as runny and festering as the one in front of them.

"Brother, why don't you leave?" That child turned his head and stared at Tang Bai.

Tang Bai immovably reached into his pocket, he took hold of the diamond encrusted energy gun and whispered, "You've got dirt on your face, wipe your face."

The boy smiled sheepishly, and he smiled with all the cuteness that should be expected at his age, innocent, like a weed thriving out of the dirt, and his little hand reached into his book bag as if he were about to pull a tissue out of it.

For a moment Tang Bai thought he was overthinking it, that this looked like a normal slum kid, that his skin was probably allergic, or that he'd been injured in some other accident.

But then Tang Bai suddenly realized something.

He had come into contact with many slum children, these children never carried tissues and handkerchiefs with them, when they sweated or got dirty anywhere, they wiped it off carelessly with their sleeves and hands, so what was this child in front of him going to pull out of his school bag if he wanted to take out something other than tissues?

"Get down!!!" A stormy shout rang out from behind him, it was shouted so sharply that for a moment Tang Bai didn't hear what the owner of the voice was saying, he just felt an inexplicable familiarity.

It was only when the kid in front of him pulled an energy gun out of his book bag that Tang Bai, who had it pointed at him, realized in a trance that the voice shouting might have been telling him to get down.

The sound of bullets raining down on Tang Bai is so loud that his brain goes blank from the contrast between the combination of a supposedly innocent child and a cold gun, as if his beliefs have been pierced by invisible bullets, and in an instant he is riddled with holes.

"Boom..."

The stunned Tang Bai was instantly swooped down by a solid, powerful body, and the world spun around for a moment as he was wrapped up in the other man's arms and tumbled twice on the ground.

The man pressed his face into his arms, his broad palms firmly protecting the back of his head, his fingertips running through his hair, the roughness of his fingertips bringing a tingling tickle as they rubbed over his scalp, as if electricity were running through his brain.

"Stay here and don't move." A raspy voice, deliberately lowered, rang in his ears.

Tang Bai raised his head and met a pair of dark eyes that were indifferent and detached, but mixed with a rolling heat that seemed like lust, causing Tang Bai's heartstrings to be tugged at unexpectedly.
