New Year Bonus Update
He didn’t use the rabbit mech.
He also didn’t have time to find a new suitable mecha.
He finally chose to use Long Night.
The long night, the long night, he stayed up in the long night for too long, thinking that he finally found his own star, but the star hung so high and far away, how could he pick it off?
In the mecha duel in the Chief Examination, he narrowly defeated Gu Tunan with “Long Night”. The price of victory was that his identity as “Mouse” was exposed, so everyone suddenly accused him of being too ruthless and cold-blooded in his competition methods. They even said things like Gu Tunan lost because he was too kind, saying that a cruel person like him was not worthy of being the chief…
He won.
Won overwhelming accusations and prejudice.
The cost of the Chief Examination was a bit too much for him, causing his estrus to come unexpectedly early.
He was embarrassed and was in heat when he happened to be caught by Gu Tunan. Gu Tunan got to know his secret and his attitude towards him began to change, but he didn’t realize it at that time.
During that time, he couldn’t sleep all night long. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would think of Tang Bai. Whenever he thought of Tang Bai, the left side of his chest would hurt. Sometimes when he didn’t think about Tang Bai, his chest would still hurt. He even began to be confused. Did thinking about Tang Bai make his chest hurt or did the pain in his chest remind him of Tang Bai.
He thought of the dessert Tang Bai made for him, he thought of the dance Tang Bai taught him, and he thought of the kiss Tang Bai gave him.
It was strawberry flavored, sour and sweet.
He liked Tang Bai.
He especially liked Tang Bai.
From the first moment he saw Tang Bai, he fell in love with Tang Bai.
Why was this happening? Was it love at first sight? Why did Tang Bai fall in love with him? If Tang Bai didn’t like him, he may never have understood his feelings, then they could be good friends, and then they could meet every day.
Why was it such a tragedy that the person he liked also liked him?
Then one day, an omega handed him a love letter. That omega thought he was an alpha and gave him a love letter with a blushing face.
For a moment, he seemed to see Tang Bai’s face, also blushing, and the light in his eyes was beautiful and clear.
After Gu Tunan saw him holding the love letter, he confessed to him. Later, Gu Tunan told him that the reason for the hasty confession that day was because the eyes he looked at the omega with that day were very gentle. Gu Tunan said that he had never seen him look at someone with such gentle eyes.
At that moment, Gu Tunan’s sense of crisis became unprecedentedly strong. He was not prepared for anything. He just thought that no one could get there first, so he hurriedly expressed his feelings.
Gu Tunan liked him.
This was something he didn’t expect.
In fact, many times he felt that he was not worthy of being liked by others. He came from a humble background, had a gloomy personality, and had a short life span.
Gu Tunan praised him, saying that he was independent, enterprising, ideal and powerful. He was completely different from those delicate dodder flowers. He was a tree that could grow side by side with him.
Gu Tunan said that he would cancel his engagement with Tang Bai for him. Gu Tunan said that he was willing to help him hide his identity. Gu Tunan said a lot.
But he frowned.
He didn’t like to hear Gu Tunan use the word vase to describe Tang Bai. Tang Bai was not the crying good-for-nothing beauty Gu Tunan said. On the contrary, Tang Bai was very strong and could always show a bright and warm smile. Tang Bai had his own noble character. He had been studying mecha manufacturing in secret and had never given up.
What Tang Bai needed was an opportunity, an environment where he could truly show himself.
He defended Tang Bai a lot in his heart, but he didn’t say a word, because this was his hidden love, and he loved him so much that he didn’t want to share it with anyone.
Xie Ruheng listened quietly to Gu Tunan’s expression of love for him, but what he was thinking about was Tang Bai.
It was good if Gu Tunan and Tang Bai canceled their engagement. Gu Tunan didn’t like Tang Bai and didn’t respect Tang Bai. Such a person would not treat Tang Bai well in the future.
Tang Bai would meet an alpha that was more suitable for him, and Tang Bai would live a very happy life.
He thought that Tang Bai might have come to know that Xiao Cheng was Xie Ruheng, because in the chief examination, he used “Long Night” to reveal his identity as “Mouse”.
Although the image of “Mouse” was not circulated on the Star Network, with the power of the Tang family, Tang Bai could definitely find it if he wanted to.
Although only Gu Tunan and a few other people know that he was an omega now, if one day his identity as an omega was exposed and his injection of disguise medicine was also exposed, would Tang Bai understand that he had said such heartless words because of his life span?
Would he be sad if he waited for Tang Bai to understand? According to Tang Bai’s kind character, Tang Bai should feel very guilty. He didn’t want Tang Bai to be sad for him.
If Tang Bai knew that he loved Gu Tunan and he rejected Tang Bai because of Gu Tunan, if Tang Bai knew this news, would he not be so sad?
Thinking of this, he looked at Gu Tunan and said softly: “I won’t live long, will you still like me?”
Gu Tunan was stunned for a moment, but instead of asking him why, he nodded to him.
“I don’t like you, will you still like me?”
In fact, he felt cruel at this moment, but he was not a noble person to begin with. After seeing Gu Tunan nodding without hesitation, Xie Ruheng smiled.
“Can I ask you something? If one day my identity as an omega is exposed, before I die, I want to tell others that I like you and you like me. The two of us have loved each other. Is that okay?” It was a very strange request. So, Gu Tunan hesitated for a while but then nodded.
So the matter was settled.
Xie Ruheng liked Gu Tunan.
Everyone would know, including Tang Bai.
And Xie Ruheng liked Tang Bai. Only Xie Ruheng needed to know this.
Later, many things happened, many, many, many more. He cut off his glands, went to the battlefield, made military achievements, and stabbed to death a nobleman who had defiled his subordinate’s relative during his triumph parade.
The noble was a member of the Cheng family and a member of the parliament. He was impulsive after all. During the time he was imprisoned, many people came to see him.
Someone told him that Tang Bai, one of the leaders of the Omega Protection Association, was also working on behalf of the raped civilian omega, saying that Tang Bai was so busy with this matter that he even forgot to eat.
Gu Tunan brought him a lunch box, saying that the whole federation knew that he had stomach problems. Aunt Tang was a fan of his. Aunt Tang specially made this lunch box for him and asked Gu Tunan to help bring it over.
He picked up the bento, opened it, and saw a heart-shaped omelette.
He finished the bento in one bite and ate it clean.
The taste was still the same as in his memory. In fact, he recognized the real maker of this bento at a glance.
He was thinking, how did he and Tang Bai get to where they were today? Obviously they had been intimate before. At that time, they would talk all night long, walk hand in hand under the stars, and think about the future together.
—— “If I were to formulate the curriculum in the future, all these messy things would be turned into elective courses. If you want to learn etiquette, you can learn it. If you want to learn self-defense, you can choose it yourself. You can learn whatever you like! Federation Military schools no longer need to take etiquette tests. It’s all red tape and should have been thrown away long ago…”
—— “I… I also want all the children in the slums to go to school. I want them to go to school. Everyone can have enough to eat and wear new clothes… I also want to contract all the omega inhibitors and find them a normal job, not the kind that is so exploitative in the mining area….”
——”I really hope that every omega can do what they want to do.”
….
This was the future that Tang Bai hoped for, and he would do his best to give Tang Bai a brand-new future.
Tang Bai should not be a bird in a cage, he should be a phoenix flying in the nine heavens.
However, he was reluctant to let Tang Bai take that uncertain road, so he walked it alone.
With the help of many people, he was released without any charges and returned to the battlefield. In one battle, he led his combat team to win with less against more, he won by luck, at the cost of almost losing his life on the battlefield.
His subordinates sent him to the military doctor just as he was dying, but just then the effect of the disguise medicine wore off, his true gender was revealed, causing an uproar throughout the galaxy. They asked the military to take back his military achievements and let this rebellious omega return to the right path.
Even if he had had his glands removed and he would not go in heat and affect others.
He was seriously injured, but he announced to everyone with a fierce force that as long as an alpha could defeat him, he would immediately take off his military uniform.
Blood flowed all over the cockpit, but the mecha he controlled majestically defeated all opponents.
After winning the battle, he was sent to the ward again. Many people came to see him and many wanted to interview him. Bai Zhi even talked to him about cooperation. At the end…
Tang Bai also came.
Tang Bai sat in front of his hospital bed for a long time and asked him, was it because he was an omega and Gu Tunan was an alpha, that’s why he didn’t like him and liked Gu Tunan.
He said yes, he said he only regarded Tang Bai as a friend.
Tang Bai was silent for a longer time and said, That’s it.
Then Tang Bai raised a smile and said to him, actually it’s not bad now, you are the light of omegas, I wish you happiness.
Yes, it’s very good now. Tang Bai was still as good-looking, proud, and dignified as the young master in his memory. When he said, “You are the light of omegas,” his beautiful eyes were still shining brightly, full of light.
It was the light he always wanted to protect.
He said to Tang Bai, I also wish you happiness.
Things later developed as he expected. Bai Zhi used his influence to successfully implement various proposals. The lives of the people in the slums became better and better. Tang Bai was also preparing to participate in the mecha manufacturing competition.
The rabbit mecha that Tang Bai had not given away back then was given to him this time, and he also gave Tang Bai a book as a gift in return.
If Tang Bai flipped through the book, maybe he would find a dried rose petal on a certain page, and that page recorded a sentence he liked very much:
“I’m here to give you a gift. Among so many stars, I will continue to live in one of the stars, and I will continue to laugh in that star.
So that when you look up at the sky, it will feel as if all the stars are laughing.
It’s time to say goodbye.
You know, the road home is too far, I can’t take my physical body with me. It’s just a useless shell. There is no need to be sad for the useless shell.”
He had heard that people would turn into stars after death, so Xie Ruheng thought, the star he transformed into should be distant, small and out of place, stuck in the dark clouds, just like his life which had been deviant and maverick, stuck in many impossibilities.
Thinking of this, those dark phoenix eyes finally lost their last light. He faced the starry sky and stayed on that eve of dawn forever.
T/N: This chapter was so sad, inspirational, romantic and poetic at the same time…
P.S. I think the book XR gave TB is the Little Prince if you’ve read it…. If you haven’t you should really try it out.
P.P.S. How can two people love each other so much that they are almost living for the other person but not be together? I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭😭😭
