Chapter 49: Chapter 49
In front of the overwhelming energy projectiles, Tang Bai saw the alpha roll on the ground without hesitation, then leap up, his slender figure spinning in the air to avoid the second wave of energy projectiles!
It was a series of beautifully clean moves that Tang Bai almost couldn't help but applaud his opponent!
Tang Bai pressed himself against the corner, his diamond-encrusted energy gun held vigilantly, aimed at the chest of the kid who kept tilting his fire, he bit his lip, shifted his wrist slightly, and struck the other kid's arm holding the gun with pinpoint accuracy.
The kid dropped the gun in his hand in pain.
Taking advantage of this, Xie Ruhang leaps in front of his shorter opponent, aiming a hand chop directly at the back of his head.
It was a sight to behold, as Tang Bai realized that his opponent had completed a series of rolls, rises, sprints, leaps, and hand knives in less than three seconds.
Even though Tang Bai had seen many excellent alphas, this alpha's stance definitely ranked in the top three among those he knew!
Xie Ruhang ties up the assailant, then looks back to see Tang Bai, soft and shrunken, crouching in the corner with his energy gun in his hand, looking at him with rounded amber eyes that look like they hold a weak, helpless soul.
Xie Ruhang's fingers twitched nervously, he was obviously angry at this person, angry at the other person's double-mindedness, angry at the other person's failure to protect himself, but when he met with such a gaze, he was only left with heartache for a moment.
It must have hit Tang Bai very hard to have his softest goodness taken advantage of.
Xie Ruhang, who originally wanted to walk away, struggled for a while, but still couldn't resist helping Tang Bai.
Tang Bai saw the dark-haired, dark-eyed alpha walking toward him, his dark eyes heavy with unreadable emotion, cold and restrained but burning, as if he was suppressing something, inscrutable.
What's even more special is Tang Bai's instant familiarity with the alpha.
Is it because of the drawbridge effect?
After staring at Tang Bai's wandering face for a while, Xie Ruhang sighed in resignation in his heart and reached out his hand to Tang Bai, "Can you stand up?"
Afraid Tang Bai would recognize his voice, Xie Ruhang lowered his voice to a low, magnetic pitch, as if burning tiny particles were sharpening his auditory nerves.
Ears are going to be crispy!
Tang Bai inexplicably thought of the alpha's words "Don't move" that she had just said to him against his ear, and he blushed and said, "I can."
The soft little omega stood up against the wall, not daring to look directly into his eyes, his amber-colored eyes blinking and flashing as he said, "...... Hello, my name is Tang Bai, thank you for saving me."
"Xiao Cheng." Xie Ruhang took the name casually; Xiao was his mother's last name.
"Xiao Cheng, thank you for saving me, I don't know how to repay you, how about this, let's add a communication first?" Tang Bai stretched out his hand wearing a light brain ring to Xie Ruhang.
Xie Ruhang was stunned.
When he and Tang Bai first met, Tang Bai seems to have used the same sweetest eyes and the most coy voice to start asking for contact information, and even the tactics of asking for communication are similar. ......
That's right, it's a familiar recipe, it's a familiar tea flavor!
In this instant, Xie Ruhang brain as if there are billions of green tea poured over, gathered into a turquoise ocean flooded him, and then ...... Xie Ruhang opened his dead fish eyes and coldly returned, "No."
To give contact information is impossible to give, large and small numbers are added Tang Bai, a give is not exposed.
Tang Bai, who hadn't expected to say no, froze, his hand frozen in mid-air, even his dull hairs collapsing in a shriveled heap.
In fact, it is also understandable, the slum people are very defensive, Xiao Cheng does not want to have too much contact with strangers is also very normal ah.
Xie Ruhang didn't want to see Tang Bai's lost look as he scowled and called for a hovercar, ready to wrangle his assailant to the police station.
Tang Bai consoled himself, and then re-pursed his lips and squeezed out a smile, his soft cheeks surfaced a shallow dimple, good-naturedly making people want to pinch a handful of them, "Did you were just was to call a car?"
"Uh-huh." Xie Ruhang's fingertips moved, but in the end he resisted the urge to poke Tang Bai in the cheek.
Neither of them spoke during the time they waited for the hovercar to arrive, but Xie Ruhang's keen sense of perception allowed him to notice Tang Bai's furtive glances at him.
The little twerp wasn't very good at peeking, casting nervous glances every now and then, causing Xie Ruhang to tense up along with him.
The alpha in front of him wasn't stunning, but his bone structure was good, his nose was high and straight, and his jawline was clean and sharp, it was a durable type of looks, but Tang Bai's frequent peeps weren't in a nymphomaniacal state, he just felt that the person in front of him made him look a little bit familiar.
It was a bit of a set-up to say that, but it seemed like he'd seen this guy somewhere before.
Xie Ruhang : "......"
Still looking? Why don't you have time to chat with your Brother Xie when you have time to gawk at the faces of random passersby!
Xie Ruhang turned his face majestically and met the eyes of the peeping Tang Bai.
Tang Bai: "!"
Tang Bai was caught in a moment of weakness, his little face reddened, like a ripe milky bun, steaming hot.
Xie Ruhang's cold and unfeeling ice was instantly melted for the most part as he forced himself to be cold and said, "You're an omega coming to the slums, why don't you bring a bodyguard?" Why didn't you ask me to come to the slums with you!
Tang Bai rushed to flash his diamond-encrusted energy gun, "I'm armed for defense." If it weren't for the fact that the assailant was a child, Tang Bai would have been able to strike first the moment he became suspicious.
In the next second, Tang Bai was snatched by Xie Ruhang with one hand over the energy gun, the alpha in front of him was so fast that it was like a ghost, and his slender arm locked around his neck, as if the devil had imprisoned him in his arms, completely in control and unable to escape.
Tang Bai felt the bitterness and ruthlessness of the other party's blood from the body that suppressed him, and this sense of danger at the tip of a knife made Tang Bai's bones tremble.
The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against Tang Bai's temple, the alpha's thin lips grazed Tang Bai's ear, and his raspy voice rang coldly in Tang Bai's ear, "If you meet a bad guy, these weapons won't even be in time to be effective."
Tang Bai can not tell whether his heart beating violently because of instinctive fear, or because of the secretion of dopamine, his eyes with a wet light, uncomfortable slightly tilted his head, long neck like a dying swan trembling.
Xie Ruhang looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart leapt out of his chest.
Tang Bai, with a blank face, asked softly, "Are all the bad guys as good as you?"
Bad guys, like you, awesome.
Xie Ruhang: "!!!" It's that time of the year and you still don't forget to tease people?
Xie Ruhang took a deep breath and resolutely avoided his opponent.
Tang Bai felt a little weak when Xie Ruhang suddenly let go of him, and he was a little embarrassed to keep his distance from Xie Ruhang.
Xie Ruhang realized that the little omega in front of him exuded a seductive aura with his hands, feet and wet eyes, and when he met his gaze, Tang Bai quickly lowered his eyes, a shyness that had not existed even during Tang Bai's intimate encounters with him in the etiquette class before.
Yes! Shyness!!!
Xie Ruhang's hands still felt the soft and delicate touch of Tang Bai's skin, but the fire burning in his heart was instantly doused by the refreshing lemon tea-
No, you, boo boo me, haven't even been shy!
Tang Bai was unaware of Xie Ruhang's acidic mental activities, and after he dealt with the discomfort of being in close contact with the strange alpha, he offered the diamond-encrusted energy gun with both hands and softly said, "I couldn't think of how I could repay you for a moment, this is the 'Commander' series of Energy Gun, I think this gun can only realize its power in your hands."
Xie Ruhang : "......"
He always felt like this scene was déjà vu ......
Oh, so it's the memory of Tang Bai who also shyly expressed his intention to give him the Commander ......
So with this gun are you meeting an alpha and giving away an alpha?!!!!
Xie Ruhang was about to go acid crazy, he even wanted to pick up this little green tea and shake it to see how many sets he could shake out of the other party!
Xie Ruhang tried his best to maintain his calm demeanor and said, "You gave me the gun, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"
"You don't look like a bad person." Tang Bai blurted out, there was something so reassuring about him staying with this alpha that he felt the other wouldn't really hurt him.
Xie Ruhang : "......"
Xie Ruhang finally relented, pointing to his assailant, who he had tied up five times, and said in a hushed voice, "Does he look like a bad guy?"
No one knows how much fear Xie Ruhang felt the moment he saw Tang Bai being targeted by this assassin with an energy gun, as if his heart seemed to jump out of his throat for a split second and his mind just went blank.
The finger pointing at the assailant twitched slightly, dropping into a fist at the side of his leg as if to cover up the loss, Xie Ruhang pursed his lips tightly, and when he spoke again his voice was incredibly raspy, "If you're too naïve, you won't even be able to protect yourself."
Tang Bai pursed his lips for a moment, thinking that Xiao Cheng had a very reasonable point, every time before, Xie Ruhang had accompanied him to the slums, it was Xie Ruhang who had blocked the dark side of the slums for him, yet he really thought that it was safe here.
Ten long white fingers twisted together, reddened eyes slightly drooped, Tang Bai like a child who did something wrong in listening to training.
Xie Ruhang : "......"
Did I yell at him too loud ......
Seeing Tang Bai looking at him with wet eyes, Xie Ruhang was drowned in intolerance and self-reproach.
I shouldn't have been mean to him.
Xie Ruhang thought in annoyance.
Obviously I didn't protect him.
Xie Ruhang is frustrated.
He was already freaked out from earlier, and I was actually mean to him.
Xie Ruhang is heartbroken.
Those lips pursed into a straight line opened, "...... But being naive isn't a bad thing."
Tang Bai, waiting for the lecture to continue: "?"
Tang Bai is flabbergasted to find that the alpha in front of him, who was as dangerous as a lone wolf, has suddenly turned into a frustrated big dog.
Ah this ......
Is that a knife to the heart?
Tang Bai fished out a sandwich milk candy from his pocket and carefully handed it to the other party, "Candy?"
Xie Ruhang : "......"
After Xie Ruhang received the candy, Tang Bai touched his nose and softly said, "Thank you for talking to me, I've learned my lesson this time, and I'll definitely pay more attention to safety in the future~" and then showed a full of energy smile.
Xie Ruhang who was instantly healed by this smile : "...... Hmmm."
The hovercar stops at the curb and they get in. No one speaks to each other on the way, and Tang Bai thinks about what he can do to repay Xiao Cheng, but it's too vulgar to send the commander to the other side, or to give him money.
Tang Bai bitterly searched the astro-net and after seeing something about a promise in return for his body, he turned off the search engine with a black line all over his face as he looked out the window with his brain in turmoil.
On the car window he saw Xiao Cheng's side face, there was a very detached air about this alpha, and in the blurred colors of the landscape, it looked more and more far away from all the hustle and bustle of the world.
Tang Bai saw through the reflection on the glass that this alpha suddenly turned his head slowly to look at him, and his endlessly suppressed black eyes revealed a moment of lost affection.
It was a tender gaze that he himself had not even noticed.
When Tang Bai blinked and looked again, the alpha turned his head back.
I think he just looked away.
Tang Bai did not dwell too much on this little episode, soon the hover car drove them to the police station, the police took them to make a statement, when the police told Tang Bai, that the attacking child suffers from Highlander Syndrome, is not a real child, but a developmentally delayed adult, the thorns in Tang Bai's chest were finally taken away.
Although the marks left behind were difficult to remove for a while, they were not as unpleasant as before.
"Mr. Tang, you may leave, we'll investigate this case to the best of our ability."
Tang Bai glanced down the hall, "Has my companion not come out yet?"
"Mr. Xiao has left early."
"Did he leave contact info?"
"No. Are you concerned about the safety of returning alone? We have contacted Mr. Bai Zhi for you ......"
Tang Bai stood blankly at the police station, his heart suddenly a little empty.
He ...... He has yet to properly thank this Mr. Shaw ......
Bai Zhi, who came to pick up Tang Bai, thought Tang Bai was scared because of the attack and comforted him by saying, "When you get home, take a shower, drink a cup of hot milk, and get a good night's sleep to forget all the bad feelings."
Tang Bai nodded obediently, thanked Bai Zhi, and went home to follow Bai Zhi's instructions to go to the bathroom to take a bath first, only when he was undressing, Tang Bai suddenly realized that the necklace he was wearing with the chain made of magical silver had a talisman glued to it.
The talisman seemed to be placed inside a small bead, and that bead and the magic silver had an invisible sticky-like attraction together.
Tang Bai did not open this talisman to see what is contained inside, after all, talisman this kind of thing can not be casually dismantled, and this talisman is likely to be Xiao Cheng's things, it is estimated that he and Xiao Cheng today between physical contact stained.
This talisman looked old, its color was dull, yet it was still worn by Xiao Cheng, it should be something very important, but how should he return this talisman to Xiao Cheng?
Tang Bai thought about it and logged on to his StarNet account, and it just so happened that the last time he was chatting with X, X's account was at the top of the list, so Tang Bai clicked in and asked X, "Is there such a thing as a lost and found in the slums?"
X immediately replied to him, "What did you pick up?"
Tang Bai : "I found a talisman in the slums today, and although this is not a valuable item, I felt it should be important to the owner and wanted to return it as soon as possible."
After a moment, X: "Yes, it's important to me."
Tang Bai: "Uh-huh."
Tang Bai : "Hmmm?!!!?!?!"
