Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Sucking in her little nose, Tang Bai softly explained, "You've got it wrong, although he's my fiancé-to-be, he doesn't like me."

Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan's ears perked up at the same time.

Tang Bai Chao said loudly, "He's just using me as a shield to cope with his parents, he doesn't like me at all, the prospective fiancé-husband is what our parents said, in reality, he doesn't have this intention for me at all."

Xie Ruhang squinted his eyes to see Gu Tunan's expression, only to see those gray-blue eyes gazing deeply at Tang Bai, as if they had a thousand words to say, and no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like he didn't have any interest in Tang Bai.

Heh, do you think I'm going to believe a routine like this one where we're quasi-fiancées but not in a relationship?

Small hands pitifully clutched the corner of Xie Ruhang's coat, softly shook, Tang Bai and cat-like purr: "Brother Xie, you do not ignore me."

Xie Ruhang : "......"

Xie Ruhang took a deep breath and told himself he wasn't eating any of this!

Pampering is useless! Green tea pampering destroys his psychological underpinnings! It's poison with sugar stuck to it!

Refuse green tea! Start by refusing to be pampered!

Xie Ruhang is desperately trying to build himself up psychologically, with an unperturbed surface and cold, unfeeling eyes, like a frescoed scene, unattainable and unattainable.

It would work better if he could stop clenching his teeth.

After meeting Tang Bai's clear and translucent eyes, the phoenix eyes became even more obscure, Xie Ruhang stared at Tang Bai's innocent little white flower's face, looking left and right, and under the loose white shirt, the slender but upright body, looking up and down, the lie detector radar was working like crazy, but how could he not make up his mind to determine that Tang Bai was a green tea.

Tangled Xie Ruhang eyes are red!

Xie Ruhang is surrounded by a constant flow of grievances, and if these grievances could be turned into words, they would be--

No way sir, is my dream love O green tea or not?

Amber eyes so clear that it's as if you can see into a clear soul, and cuts to the chase when he says Gu Tunan doesn't love him ...... And so on!

Tang Bai seems to have only said that Gu Tunan doesn't love him and never mentioned that he doesn't like Gu Tunan at all!

What those words were trying to make clear was, if you think about it, "Gu Tunan doesn't love me, so don't misunderstand that the person Gu Tunan likes is me".

Shouldn't a normal person say, "I don't like Gu Tunan at all"?

He likes Tang Bai, not Gu Tunan. Why should Tang Bai explain that Gu Tunan doesn't love him?

Awesome ...... This is a really awesome move ......

If Tang Bai says that he doesn't love Gu Tunan, it will break Gu Tunan's heart no matter what, while saying that Gu Tunan doesn't love him will both make Gu Tunan feel indebted and at first glance make him think that there is nothing between Gu Tunan and Tang Bai.

He only saw the second level and thought Tang Bai was on the first level, when in fact Tang Bai was on the fifth level!

After thinking everything through, Xie Ruhang decided to reject Tang Bai, although he really likes Tang Bai's type of omega, but Tang Bai already has a fiancé-to-be.

Any more heartache is to be denied!

"Since your prospective fiancé is here, from now on you can go to him for anything, we don't need to contact each other anymore."

When Xie Ruhang said these words, he was not able to look at Tang Bai, fearing that if he saw Tang Bai's face, he would surrender on the spot, so it can be said that he has a very good sense of self-awareness.

"Ah ......?" Tang Bai stared blankly, his eyes filled with heartbreaking resignation, and even if Xie Ruhang hadn't looked at Tang Bai's face, he could have visualized the other party's sobbing expression from Tang Bai's sobbing tone of voice.

It was obviously Tang Bai's problem, but Xie Ruhang felt a sense of guilt that he was a scum!

"You, how can you do this?" Tang Bai was so anxious that he was on the verge of tears, it is said that alpha is like clothes, and set beauty is like hands and feet, but how did it come to Xie Ruhang's place that it has become you moving my clothes, and me breaking your hands and feet?

Xie Ruhang's heart ached, "It's getting late, I'll go back first." He didn't want to hear Tang Bai's sobbing tone anymore. He didn't want to hear Tang Bai's sobbing tone anymore, he turned away with a cold face, Tang Bai panicked and went to grab Xie Ruhang's hand, but only managed to grab Xie Ruhang's fingertips and accidentally took off the black leather gloves.

The eyes revealed a hand with sharp bones and long fingers, but with hideous burn marks.

The pale skin is covered with large, bark-like scars, darker than their own skin tone, with irregular edges that resemble centipedes climbing over the hands, and are physically uncomfortable for the faint of heart to see.

Xie Ruhang stopped where he was, frowned, and looked back at Tang Bai.

Though Tang Bai didn't say so explicitly, the look of wonder in his eyes when he first met him said something, and Xie Ruhang knew that part of Tang Bai's passion for him came from a fascination with skin.

There's nothing condemnable about this, since most of his favorable opinion of Tang Bai also stems from skin deep.

The so-called love at first sight is really just love at first sight.

A million looks that Tang Bai might show run through his mind, fear, disgust, dread ......

However, when they looked at each other, Xie Ruhang saw a very soft gaze in Tang Bai's eyes, so soft that it could soothe all the dark emotions in his heart.

For a moment Xie Ruhang was in a trance, he suddenly remembered that Tang Bai had also looked at him with such eyes when they first met.

"I'm sorry, I ......" Tang Bai handed Xie Ruhang the gloves painfully, he wanted to say something comforting, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The book says that Xie Ruhang always wore gloves to hide the scars on her hands, and briefly mentions the reason for the scars.

Xie Ruhang As a toddler, he was hungry for days and took the risk of stealing bread from a store, only to be caught by his inexperienced boss.

The boss tied Xie Ruhang up and poured boiling water over his hands in front of everyone, in order to give a warning to the other "mice" hiding in the shadows.

It's just that Xie Ruhang didn't cry at all, and there was less movement to achieve a better warning effect.

After being scalded by boiling water, Xie Ruhang's hands were not only left untouched, but also festered so badly that she had to rummage through garbage to find food with her blistered hands.

While reading the book, Tang Bai's heart only lightly fluttered with thoughts like "Oh, he got his hand burned", which were as light as dust and dispersed in a flash. However, when the words became reality, the impact was as heavy as a rock.

Tang Bai just cooking time, accidentally splashed by hot oil, in the hand burned a small red marks, he was in a hurry to look for ointment, afraid to leave a mark, Xie Ruhang's hand into this way, as an omega, he was how hard it is ah!

But the best time to get rid of scars is when the wound is scabbing, and after so many years, the scars on Xie Ruhang's hands are hard to fade away unless he goes in for surgery.

Tang Bai felt guilty for revealing his scars, and stood helplessly, only able to whisper "I'm sorry" before watching Xie Ruhang pick up his gloves and turn away.

The hovercar disappeared into the night, and Tang Bai's nose was so sore that he almost cried.

Director Huang patted Tang Bai's shoulder, "Xiao Tang, the sky is the limit, look at Mr. Gu, he's so worried about your safety, he rushed over right away after a communication call, don't you want to explain to Mr. Gu?"

Tang Bai: "...... Ah?"

"As your date on your leave slip, I have a right to know where you go on your dates. Who were you with, where did you go, and what did you do tonight?" Gu Tunan took a book out of his pocket; in an age when it was common for everyone to record information with their optical brains, few people had paper books to record things anymore.

Director Huang immediately signaled Tang Bai with a "jealous, jealous" look.

Tang Bai: "......"

Tang Bai understands how this is a misunderstanding. He knows that Xie Ruhang is omega, but no one else does.

"And Xie Ruhang." Tang Bai sighed, "What exactly I did, that's private, no need to report it to you, right?"

Gu Tunan wrote the words Xie Ruhang on the paper with his eyes downcast, his voice did not rise and fall, "Where did you go and what did you do?"

Tang Bai : "Gu Tunan, this is something I did wrong, but you usually don't torment me much, I'm tired, I don't want to hurt each other with you, let's not be hypocritical prospective fiancé-husband from today, okay?"

Director Huang: "!!!"

Not hearing the desired answer, Gu Tunan raised his eyes, "The academy teachers put their trust in me by giving you to me, and it would be a dereliction of duty on my part if something happened to you and I didn't even know where you were going or what you were doing."

At the mention of the word "dereliction of duty", Tang Bai knew that he had to tell the answer today. Gu Tunan is a man who is very strict and rigid, who takes honor and rules very seriously, and "dereliction of duty" is not allowed in his dictionary.

...... line bla.

"Slums, something's up." Tang Bai said with a small frown.

The tip of the pen lurched, leaving a swoosh of ink on the paper, "What is it?"

Tang Bai blurts out, "Seeing the slums." That's actually true, and it's about as bad as seeing the slums.

The nib of the pen stops at the surface of the paper, the swooshing ink dots getting bigger and bigger, and Gu Tunan's tone is cold and hard: "That's a reason I don't accept."

Tang Bai: "......"

Gu Tunan said, word for word, "Give me reasons that will convince me."

Director Huang helped out at the side: "Xiao Tang ah, don't play a little sex, you have to make the reason clear, this matter is not only Gu students need to know, the school also need to know."

Tang Bai was really tired and didn't want to listen to Director Huang's hours of long-windedness, and woodenly said with a small face, "In order to write a novel to take the material."

Gu Tunan asks, "What novel?"

Tang Bai sighed in little old man style, "A novel where the main character is a slum-born omega, I didn't want to get out of touch with reality, that's why I went for the material, does that make it clear enough? Can I go now?"

At those words, the pen Gu Tunan held traced a meaningless line on the paper.

Tang Bai head also did not return to walk away, Director Huang hastened to Gu Tunan explained: "Aiya Gu students you do not take it to heart, Xiao Tang he is tired today, speak only so impulsive, in fact, his heart is like you ......"

"Uh-huh."

Director Huang, who had just started a long speech, got stuck and looked at Gu Tunan dumbfounded.

It was then that I saw the Gu family's most difficult to handle, rumored to be as cold as ice, top alpha say word for word, "I know he likes me."

Tang Bai, who was halfway across the street, sneezed and rubbed the tip of his reddened nose as he saw the communication from his grandfather on his light-brain:

[Why is Sugar going to the slums with a strange alpha today?
