Chapter 51: Chapter 51

If you are going to start a "business", then you must be serious about it.

Tang Bai lit the aromatherapy candles, took off her clothes in the flickering candlelight and soft music, lay down in the bathtub and sprinkled herself with rose petals, and closed her eyes to think about what she should wear on her first date with Xiao Cheng tomorrow and where she should go to treat Xiao Cheng to dinner.

Tong Meng said there is a restaurant under the sea, the candlelight dinner is particularly romantic, after dinner you can go to listen to musicals, the pink flower garden there is particularly suitable for photographs ......

On the other side, Xie Ruhang roughly took off his clothes, stood under the shower and took a cold shower with his eyes closed, water droplets dripped from his high brow bone onto his thick eyelashes, and his sexy thin lips were tightly pursed, Xie Ruhang was desperately thinking about how to ruin his meeting with Tang Bai tomorrow.

After this, the Ma Jia should be dumped.

Therefore, Xiao Cheng's identity must not leave Tang Bai with too many good memories, otherwise, when Xiao Cheng evaporates from the world, Xiao Cheng will live in Tang Bai's memories that are becoming more and more beautiful, what should we do?

You have to screw up. You have to make Tang Bai cry! Let Tang Bai know that the wild alpha on the side of the road is no match for Xie Ruhang!

Tang Bai got out of the shower and seriously gave himself a hair mask, a face mask, a lip mask, a glandular mask, and then he went into the checkroom and got into a selection block with the room full of beautiful clothes.

Is it better to dress up a little more elegantly? Or a bit of youthful school drama?

Xie Ruhang rummages through a pile of tofu blocks and pulls out two pieces of clothing that have aged a bit, contemplating whether he'll go for the classic straight-A plaid shirt or the summer-only white old man's undershirt.

In the same space and time, both of them are stuck in a dress code.

*

The next afternoon.

A pitch-black antique motorcycle sped by like a hurricane in the lower air of the hovercar, the truncated sound of the exhaust causing passersby to subconsciously raise their heads to follow the sound wave, only to see a flash of black paint reflecting blinding daylight.

"What's that?"

"It's 206 years into the astrological calendar, and there are still people riding motorcycles?!"

"The noise pollution is so bad."

"Shit, what's the deal with still having a little pull?"

Tang Bai appeared at the entrance of the School of Ceremonies, glowing, wearing pearl sunglasses, like a little noblewoman holding a lace parasol, standing elegantly and demurely at the entrance of the school, with a lovely sweet smile at the corner of his mouth.

Just then, he heard a roar.

Tang Bai was confused for a moment when he saw an antique motorcycle, which only existed in the history of the evolution of transportation, parked at the entrance of the school where people were coming and going.

A pair of long legs came down dry from the motorcycle that had lost its paint, pitch-black gloves removed the motorcycle helmet, and the tall alpha tossed his head, a strand of black hair crossed his brow bone, revealing pitch-black eyes written in coldness, and looking down, the white tank top couldn't even cover the inverted triangle of a good figure.

Tang Bai pulled his sunglasses down and stared round-eyed at the alpha walking toward him.

The alpha's hands and feet are unassuming, his temperament a perfect blend of elegant and gangly, and he instantly brings to mind a life of uprooted escapism, an adventurous world Tang Bai has never been exposed to.

Xie Ruhang's eyebrows rose slightly.

Stunned.

Was never seen such an unkempt and poor alpha.

Xie Ruhang didn't walk towards Tang Bai as courteously as he used to, his posture showed a hint of laziness, whether it was his helmet under his elbow or his eyes slightly closed as if he hadn't woken up, this was his original appearance -

His eyebrows were all bratty, and his sagging lips were dripping with hostility.

How could a mudblood who had crawled from the slums to fight for his life in the underground arena always carry the manners of an aristocrat.

It's just that in the past, he's always been restrained and polite when he's gotten along with Tang Bai for the sake of Tang Bai.

And this time, Xie Ruhang didn't even say hello, he just reached out to the dumbfounded Tang Bai--

Give me the talisman.

Then he saw the little omega in front of him blink, as if after a fierce mental struggle, and finally, a little embarrassed, he placed his small white and tender hand on his palm and asked in a small voice, "Are we going for a ride on a motorcycle?"

Xie Ruhang: "????"

Tang Bai's little face flushed red as she said, "You should have told me earlier, then I could have worn the pink bunny helmet."

Xie Ruhang: "????"

Tang Bai's fingertips nodded on Xie Ruhang's wide palm, "Let's go, I've already made a reservation at the Star Ocean Restaurant, I'm going to treat my savior to a big meal today, don't refuse me~"

Xie Ruhang: "????"

When an even more outrageous request is made, one naturally accepts the previous one, and Xie Ruhang, who had wanted to refuse the motorcycle ride, said blankly, "Star Ocean Restaurant?"

Tang Bai nodded his head sweetly as he opened the picture of the restaurant in his light brain to show Xie Ruhang, "Dream Star Ocean Restaurant! Isn't it super beautiful? We can sit on the moon ship and look at sea creatures in all directions in the one hundred meter long ocean tunnel ......"

Xie Ruhang's mind imagines his Ma Jia and Tang Bai snuggling with each other on a crystal clear moon boat, with the little creatures in the blue sea silently witnessing their sweet time, such a romantic thing of course ......

No way!!!

If you're going, you're going with the rightful owner!

Seeing Tang Bai's excited look, Xie Ruhang interrupted cruelly, "No way."

Tang Bai looked up in puzzlement, his big watery eyes were docile with a faint sense of loss, and he softly said, "Then ...... Then where are we going to eat?"

Xie Ruhang : "......" Just came to pick up a charm why do we have to eat together ...... And so on!

In a flash of insight, Xie Ruhang suddenly came up with a brilliant idea to make Tang Bai hate him.

"Let's eat roadkill."

"Eh?"

*

The rumbling motorcycle came to a beautiful stop at a bazaar with a nice tail spin, and Tang Bai was almost on Xie Ruhang's back due to inertia, but fortunately he was trying to control the distance while sitting on the back seat.

"This is a snack street." Xie Ruhang gave Tang Bai a hand and took Tang Bai out of the car.

Tang Bai looks around curiously, he sees food stalls on both sides of the street emitting smoke and fire, those stalls do not know if they have health certificates, Tang Bai heard his cooking class teacher said that these stalls are patronized by a lot of rats and flies, the oil will be used again and again, the ingredients are not clean.

"Ever eaten anything here?" Xie Ruhang asked.

Tang Bai shook his head docilely as he followed Xie Ruhang, seeing diner after diner pass them by and head to different stalls.

Some people will look back at Tang Bai with surprise; after all, Tang Bai doesn't look like he's here in such a sophisticated outfit.

"Some of the stalls here are dirty, but the ones I'm taking you to are clean." After walking a few steps, Xie Ruhang stood in front of a stall in a cheerful mood and coldly said, "Boss, come with fifty star coins of stir-fried rabbit meat!"

That's right!

Xie Ruhang thought of a way to bring Tang Bai to eat rabbit meat! Tang Bai loves rabbits so much that he even designed his mecha in the shape of a rabbit. Bringing Tang Bai here to eat rabbits will surely bring a big blow to Tang Bai's fragile heart!

Too cruel, really cruel, so cruel that Xie Ruhang could not bear to look back at Tang Bai's expression.

Xie Ruhang turned his head and saw Tang Bai's tears ......

It dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Xie Ruhang: "????"

Tang Bai took a deep breath and looked brightly at the neighboring table of diners full of pots of spicy rabbit meat, with his level of cooking skills, he only needed one look and one sniff to know how good this rabbit meat was.

Geez! How can you not eat a rabbit when it's so cute?

Tang Bai sits at a greasy wooden table, so gluttonous that he ignores the "hostile" dining environment.

Xie Ruhang : "...... Don't you think it's cruel to eat cute rabbits?"

Tang Bai cocked his head, "Aren't pigs cute? Isn't the lamb cute? Aren't ducks cute? But cuteness is not the criterion for judging whether an animal can be served on the table or not, it's the fact that it tastes good that counts!"

Xie Ruhang : "...... Uh-huh."

Soon a plate of aromatic rabbit meat was brought up, the roasted rabbit meat was golden brown in color, with black bean red oil and crushed peanut rice, the crispy aroma came out.

Tang Bai picked up a piece of rabbit meat, can not wait to bite down, smooth and tender rabbit meat fresh and not fishy, chewy, eat a piece of still in the teeth.

"It's so good!" Tang Bai surprised him with another piece.

Xie Ruhang : "......"

Xie Ruhang holds his forehead in pain and covers his eyes with his hand.

After finishing his rabbit meat, Tang Bai looks to have settled into the atmosphere of the roadside stalls as he walks around with a bowl of cold noodles, while Xie Ruhang carries Tang Bai's grilled sausage, octopus dumplings, and pancakes that he'll be eating later ......

Staring at Tang Bai's bulging cheeks without moving, Xie Ruhang couldn't help but ponder the mysterious question of how Tang Bai could eat so much and still be so thin.

"You don't even have hands to eat it." Tang Bai picked up a small octopus ball and thoughtfully brought it to Xie Ruhang's mouth, "Have one~"

Xie Ruhang froze for a moment and opened his mouth to bite into this octopus dumpling, listening to Tang Bai laugh and say, "It feels pretty good to eat roadside stalls once in a while, even though our teachers always say that roadside stalls are unhygienic and not much of a culinary challenge to make it to the grand hall."

"But today I think it's vibrant, it's flowing, there's no such thing as high or low cuisine, not just food, but anything, and when I'm free in the future, maybe I'll do a roadside stand."

Tang Bai said, stopping and looking up at Xie Ruhang with a smile on his face, "Please do come and patronize my stall then, it's guaranteed to be the cleanest!"

A firework blossomed in the darkened sky, illuminating Tang Bai's amber-colored eyes, and the noisy surroundings seemed to stop for a moment, along with the fireworks that blazed brightly in the sky.

Xie Ruhang saw a trace of apprehension that was hard to detect on that always bright and confident smiling face, and when he nodded his head, the pretty little omega looked away from the fireworks with a little bit of uneasiness, saying "the fireworks are so beautiful" while trying not to let the corners of her lips curl up.

Xie Ruhang froze in fear for a moment, and also raised his head to look at the blossoming fire overhead.

Yes ......

How he hadn't realized before that fireworks displays can be so beautiful ......

The two stood side by side, looking up at the same sky.

When the fireworks are over, Xie Ruhang listens to Tang Bai ask softly, "Do you want to go to a musical?"

For a moment, Xie Ruhang wanted to nod.

He sits with Tang Bai at the bottom of the stage, where Tang Bai is absorbed in the performance and he can quietly look at the side of Tang Bai's face.

"...... No." Can't have fond memories of you and Ma Jia, who I'm abandoning.

Tang Bai wasn't disappointed by the rejection this time, he looked trustingly at Xie Ruhang, "So what are we going to do?"

Xie Ruhang hesitated for a moment, "...... Watching a square dance?"

"Eh?"

*

Dynamic music played loudly in a square, where middle-aged and elderly people danced to the beat of the music, well-trained and neatly organized.

Xie Ruhang stood expressionlessly in the corner to watch the grandparents move their muscles, this kind of disturbing low-tech activities, should be able to make Tang Bai realize that "Xiao Cheng" is a vulgar person who has no high-level fun, right?

Couldn't enjoy the musical.

Dancing will only be the basic steps that Tang Bai temporarily taught.

They were supposed to be from two worlds.

"Look, there's a little Baby dancing too!" Tang Bai exclaimed, pointing to a child who was dancing along with the adults. Tang Bai exclaimed, pointing to a little kid who was dancing along with the adults, "He's got all the right rhythms! It's so cute!"

Xie Ruhang looked in the direction Tang Bai was pointing and saw a four- or five-year-old child dancing dully.

"Eh that move is pretty funky." Tang Bai suddenly added, "That move is so funky hahahahaha."

Xie Ruhang had a sudden ominous feeling in his heart as he turned his head to see Tang Bai exuberantly saying, "Why don't we go dancing too!"

Xie Ruhang : "？？？？？？"

Tang Bai dragged a dumbfounded Xie Ruhang into the square dance line, jumping up and down. He had a good sense of rhythm and danced to the music in no time, and soon received thumbs up from the surrounding grandparents.

Tang Bai's business boasts a thumbs-up in return, laughing as he dances, and when he turns his head to see Xie Ruhang not moving, Tang Bai simply takes Xie Ruhang's hand and dances directly to him.

"Don't you think it's a great feeling?!" Tang Bai had to speak very loudly so that the music wouldn't drown him out, Xie Ruhang looked back at Tang Bai who was full of energy, "We don't know each other, but we're together because of the music, and we're all dancing the same dance, and we're all happy, and we're all surrounded by happiness! "

Is happiness contagious?

Why did he see Tang Bai smiling so happily?

Tang Bai didn't drive Xie Ruhang, he looked at Xie Ruhang, who was as motionless as a piece of wood, and when he was caught off guard, he met those dark eyes.

Silence, hot, like the night sky covered with Xing Xing.

Tang Bai's heart trembled as he tried to loosen his grip on the alpha's hand, but the next moment, the other man's hand gripped him back.

The gloves had come off and there was no barrier, their skin pressed together.

"You dance well."

In the dim light, Xie Ruhang saw a quick blush on Tang Bai's face, a blush that spread from his cheeks to the base of his ears, and seemed to redden his fingertips along the way.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the hand he was holding tightly with Tang Bai, afraid that Tang Bai would recognize his real identity, his hand had already used a short-acting scar removal ointment, and at the moment his hand was completely wrapped around Tang Bai's soft hand.

Obviously they had done many intimate things in their previous etiquette instruction, each far more intimate than a mere handshake.

But why, at that time Tang Bai never blushed like this, and the atmosphere between them was never as charming as this moment?

--"Actually, have you ever thought that Tang Bai doesn't like either of them?"

-- "He and Xie Ruhang are like-minded friends, and sending bento for makeup is a normal interaction between close friends."

......

--"Hello Xie, my name is Tang Bai, I'm a freshman in the Culinary Department of the Ceremonial College next door, I know you don't know me, but I admire you."

So many things, it turns out, can really be figured out by thinking about them differently.

Why don't you want to be in a relationship with him, why do you keep being nice to him, why do you want him to fight for a good career.

Because Tang Bai wasn't talking about liking in the first place, he was talking about adoring.

But yeah ......

I don't want your adoration, I want your love.

Xie Ruhang shuddered and let go of his hand.

"Are we going back?" Tang Bai hid the hand he had held so tightly behind his back and looked at him with a twinkle in his eye.

"Uh-huh."

Xie Ruhang puts on his helmet and buries his emotions under layer upon layer of barriers, the summer breeze is a little chilly in the evening, but the alpha's back is wide enough to keep it all out.

Tang Bai sat behind Xie Ruhang and opened his arms to feel the refreshing summer breeze, and for a moment he felt like a carefree bird flying out of its cage.

No one's talking.

Xing Xing is blinking in the night sky.

Then, Xie Ruhang suddenly felt a warm touch on his back, he was stunned for a moment and lowered his head to find that his waist was gently encircled by a pair of hands.

The cacophony of motorcycles was suddenly far away and silent in this moment.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

All that was left was the sound of his heart beating.
