In the tenth year after Xie Ruheng’s death, Tang Bai became a well-known weapons manufacturer, inherited the weapons research institute, and became an omega like Bai Zhi who remained unmarried and had a promising career.
“Tang Tang, look at Tong Meng, he has given birth to a second child, and you don’t even have a love partner.” Mother Tang said cautiously: “When are you going to go on a blind date again?”
Forty-seven-year-old Tang Bai had the most popular egg roll haircut[1] nowadays, and his fluffy light brown curly hair made his face look even more small and delicate. He just appeared in public as a judge of the mecha manufacturing competition some time ago, and he became popular just because of his face.
Tang Bai was wearing a white shirt that day, sitting on the shoulders of his most classic pink rabbit mecha, waving to everyone, the wind blew his beautiful curly hair a little messy, and he jumped off the mecha with a smile on his face. He still looked like the boy he was before.
Someone left a message on the hot search saying that although Tang Bai had a successful career, he was unmarried and unpregnant, so he could not achieve true happiness in life.
This comment was scolded by tens of thousands of netizens, “Those who only judge an omega’s happiness by marriage should get lost. If my boyfriend had married himself then there would be no series of mechas designed by my boyfriend in the federal mecha industry, okay?! After defeating the Empire, can you still sit here and happily go to the Star Network?”
However, no matter how strong the fighting power of netizens was, they couldn’t criticize Tang Bai’s number one marriage hoper – Jiang Youwen.
Faced with his mother who was urging him to get married every day, Tang Bai said helplessly: “Haven’t I been on blind dates with single alphas and betas of the right age? Have you found a new blind date?”
“No.” Mother Tang looked hesitant.
Tang Bai raised his eyebrows and said: “Let me tell you first, I won’t like him if he is too young.”
Previously, Mother Tang introduced a blind date who was twenty years younger than Tang Bai. The kid was said to have had a crush on Tang Bai for ten years. The moment he saw Tang Bai, he blushed and was so nervous that he couldn’t even speak.
Tang Bai went on a blind date with his partner for a day, and it felt like he was not on a date, but at a fan meeting, and he couldn’t chat with people his age.
He said that the rabbit meat on a certain snack street was delicious. The other party only knew that a commercial building had been built on that street. He said that the mecha style of the underground arena was simple and solemn. The other party had never been to this place that had been renovated. He said that omegas in the past could not walk on the street, and the other party quickly complimented him on his contribution to the protection of omega rights…
After that day, Tang Bai thought that maybe it was not the child’s fault, but that he took the things he liked which remained in the past forever.
“It’s not a kid, it’s Gu Tunan.”
Tang Bai was stunned for a moment. He then raised his head in disbelief and repeated, “Gu Tunan?!”
Everybody knew about Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan’s love story.
He and Gu Tunan met in the military academy. It could be said that they were acquaintances who kept fighting each other. One was the first in the grade, the other was the second in the grade, one was from the slums, and the other was a child of the aristocracy. Two similar but different people cherished each other because of the competition.
Many people speculated that they were attracted to each other’s excellence in military school life. Therefore, when the two of them went to the battlefield together after graduation, Gu Tunan was willing to be Xie Ruheng’s adjutant. Their complementary styles had created many classic battles together.
Many Xie Gu CP fans took sugar from the classic battles recorded in textbooks. For example, in the Battle of Camengla, Xie Ruheng, who was still a major general at the time, proposed a bold battle plan. Everyone thought it was too risky. Everyone wanted to let Gu Tunan go to dissuade Xie Ruheng, but Gu Tunan, who always wanted stability, was silent for a long time, and said that they could give it a try.
Later, someone interviewed Gu Tunan and asked him why he supported Xie Ruheng in this crazy plan. In addition to explaining the advantages of the plan, Gu Tunan also added that the Major General did not eat or drink all day in order to conceive of this plan.
At that time, a lot of CP fans said that they were crazy, saying that he was lucky to have a lover like Gu Tunan who supported and understood Xie Ruheng’s hard work, but Tang Bai stared at the short sentence “without eating or drinking for a whole day” and stared at it for a long time.
Xie Ruheng liked to eat the things he made. Tang Bai remembered the way Xie Ruheng ate the small desserts he made. He was so focused and absorbed, as if he devoted himself to it. After eating everything, he still had to type a hundred words of rainbow fart at the bottom to express his feelings after eating it.
Tang Bai thought, how could a person go a day without eating or drinking? If he had been by Xie Ruheng’s side at that time, he would have worked hard to make delicious food that Xie Ruheng would be willing to devote his energy to eating.
But he remembered what Xie Ruheng once said to him, I just treat you as a friend, I don’t like your love, which makes me feel a little sick.
Whenever Tang Bai thought of this sentence, he would feel sad.
Even after so many years, he still felt a little sad every time he thought about it.
He thought it was understandable for Xie Ruheng to say this. They were both omegas, they had the same gender, and they shouldn’t be attracted to each other.
Tang Bai took on his own role. If Tong Meng liked him and confessed to him, would he still be friends with Tong Meng?
It would still happen, but it won’t be as intimate.
In fact, it was completely understandable, wasn’t it?
The hand holding the brooch trembled. Tang Bai looked at himself in a daze in the mirror. He changed into black clothes and wore a crystal brooch. He rarely wore black, and he only wore black on the day of Xie Ruheng’s funeral.
That day he was dressed in black with a white rose on his chest. He cried heartbreakingly at Xie Ruheng’s funeral, until everyone looked at him in surprise –
“Is this person related to Marshal Xie?
“It’s really strange. Neither his lover nor his wife cried so sadly.”
“Marshal Xie has never mentioned him.”
“Maybe he is a long-time fan of Marshal Xie?”
….
Mother Tang and Tong Meng helped him up in panic and asked him what was wrong. He said, Xie Ruheng was my idol and the light of all the omegas. When he said these words, his whole body was shaking. He wanted to say that Xie Ruheng is someone I like, I like him very much, it’s not just a fan’s love for an idol… but he couldn’t say that.
Xie Ruheng didn’t like him. His love made Xie Ruheng sick. So, he couldn’t say these words in front of Xie Ruheng’s grave.
For a long time after Xie Ruheng’s death, he would restrain his urge to go to the cemetery to pay homage. He told himself that there were no bones of Xie Ruheng in that cemetery and that Xie Ruheng went to a place that no one knew before his death.
So during that time, he began to travel around. He hoped that he could find the place where Xie Ruheng went before his death. He traveled to many places and met many people. Many people knew Xie Ruheng, and those people also knew him, saying that he was the successor to Xie Ruheng as the light of omegas.
He said no, he said there was only one Light of omegas.
A child said to him in a confused way, but big brother, that light of omegas is already dead.
Xie Ruheng was dead.
It took him a year to accept this fact, to accept the fact that Xie Ruheng, who burned himself with life and shone brightly, would never come back.
Ten years later, he seemed to have moved on from that crushing sadness.
Not only him, Gu Tunan also came out of it.
Not only did he come out, but he also came to him for a blind date…
Thinking of this, his sad mood turned into grief and anger. Tang Bai angrily thought about how Gu Tunan could do this and how could he forget Xie Ruheng.
But he calmed down soon. He was no longer a child. He knew that no one was in love forever. Xie Ruheng had already left this world for ten years. In these ten years, Gu Tunan had not found a new love. He could be considered a very affectionate alpha.
He had no qualifications or position to ask Gu Tunan to stay faithful to Xie Ruheng for the rest of his life.
Tang Bai put on his black top hat, walked out of the room, and drove to the appointed restaurant alone.
There were omega students and alpha students walking to school together on the street. Tang Bai was fascinated for a while and looked out the window at the students wearing the same school uniforms. He thought that this scene was what Xie Ruheng wanted to see, but it was a pity that he would never see it again.
He remembered the way Xie Ruheng talked about the future to him, and the phoenix eyes that had always been silent were ignited with an unknown light, like a night sky full of stars.
He forgot what he said at that time, but he remembered those eyes that were so amazingly beautiful that he kept thinking about them for so many years. Every time he wanted to forget, he would look up at the stars and think of Xie Ruheng.
After Xie Ruheng died, he would often stare up at the stars alone, holding in his hand the only thing Xie Ruheng gave him, the somewhat old book.
The stars hung low in the sky, their movements silent.
Tang Bai raised his head and looked at these bright stars. He suddenly remembered all the details of getting along with Xie Ruheng. Xie Ruheng told him that people would turn into stars after death.
He asked Xie Ruheng, could the stars chat? Is the way stars chat with each other something like a wink?
He said and winked at Xie Ruheng, who looked at him and smiled lightly.
At that time, he always thought that Xie Ruheng liked him, because Xie Ruheng always smiled so gently at him, looked at him with such gentle eyes, spoke to him with such gentle voice, and was so gentle that it touched his heart and completely melted him.
But now that he thought about it, it was probably just his own brain that was beautifying all of this. It was just a brief eye contact, but it was beautified by himself into hidden tenderness. Those things that Xie Ruheng never cared about were turned into by him into memories day after day which washed away indelible traces of ravines in his heart.
It was him who was being sentimental, but who could blame him?
Tang Bai got down from the car and tried to exhale the depressed air hovering in his chest, although the effect was not great.
He was in a bad mood and had a bad expression, but he had no intention of going on a good date in the first place, so he let himself go into the restaurant with a cold face.
