Tang Bai felt even worse when he saw the mango and coconut milk shaved ice that Gu Tunan ordered for him in advance. He should have told Gu Tunan that he was allergic to mango, right? Didn’t he say that? Hadn’t he said that? He couldn’t remember clearly. He himself couldn’t remember these trivial things that had happened over twenty years ago.
The moment Tang Bai sat down from his seat, he suddenly remembered that he had once made a mango mille-feuille for Xie Ruheng.
Xie Ruheng immediately asked nervously, if you are allergic to mango, will you be allergic if you make mango mille-feuille?
He said his allergy was not serious, but he just felt a little uncomfortable when he smelt it.
So Xie Ruheng said seriously, you don’t have to do this next time, I like to eat whatever you do.
Tang Bai then remembered that he had once been on a blind date with an alpha whose pheromone was mango flavored. He said sorry, I am allergic to mango and I don’t like your pheromone.
The alpha said unwillingly, I believe that love is more important than the attraction of the soul. As long as you love each other enough, it doesn’t matter what the pheromone tastes like.
He thought about it and felt that what the alpha said made sense. If it were Xie Ruheng, even if Xie Ruheng had mango-flavored pheromones, he would still like him very much.
So he nodded but rejected the alpha again.
“Long time no see.” Gu Tunan’s opening remarks interrupted Tang Bai’s reminiscing. Tang Bai came back to his senses, nodded again and said: “Long time no see.”
“I didn’t expect you to be willing to come. Auntie said that you were postponed during this period. You also have been on very busy.” Gu Tunan and Tang Bai exchanged greetings: “As far as I know, you have recently been studying the third generation of ‘my super cute’ anti-missile system. It seems that you have encountered some difficulties recently, do you need the military to help you?”
“Thank you, no need.” Tang Bai refused without hesitation.
Gu Tunan pointed to the mango coconut milk shaved ice he ordered for Tang Bai, “This is a very popular dessert in this store.”
“Sorry, I’m allergic to mango.”
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and as Gu Tunan prepared to order something else, Tang Bai said: “No, there are a lot of things at the Weapons Research Institute. I came here to ask you something.”
“You want to ask why I rejected you before and now took the initiative to come to you.”
At that time, they used each other as a shield for the blind date. Later, Gu Tunan suddenly proposed to end the relationship and frankly said that he had a loved one.
“I admire you now. You are independent and self-reliant, and your ability to make weapons is far superior to others. You are my favorite type.” Gu Tunan asked and answered himself, but the omega in front of him did not show any joy at being praised, and his delicate brows furrowed. He then stood up and looked at him with utter disappointment, “Did you also say these words to him?”
He didn’t name the person, but Gu Tunan knew what Tang Bai meant.
“I said it.” Gu Tunan replied calmly after thinking for a moment.
The attitude was not like treating one’s true love, but rather like recalling a similar question type when doing the question and summarizing a similar solution method.
Tang Bai held the water glass tightly, and there was a subtle tremor in his calm and composed voice: “How could you…”
How could you treat Xie Ruheng’s feelings like this, how could you…
When he couldn’t control himself and splashed the glass of water on Gu Tunan’s face, he heard Gu Tunan’s next words: “You seem to have misunderstood me. I should have kept this matter hidden, but I thought about it for a long time and felt that hiding it like this would actually hurt you.”
Looking at Tang Bai’s haggard face, Gu Tunan paused and said, “I once promised to help Xie Ruheng complete something. I have always kept this agreement.”
“Xie Ruheng didn’t like me. He just asked me to do him a favor and tell the world that we loved each other after his death.”
“Papa.”
Tang Bai knocked over the water glass.
The water in the water glass wet the table and Tang Bai’s clothes, but Tang Bai chased after him as if he didn’t notice it, “What did you say?!”
“Say it again!!!”
Tang Bai’s gaffe went beyond Gu Tunan’s expectation, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether his approach was right or wrong, but now that he had made a decision, he would not be timid. Gu Tunan repeated word by word: “Xie Ruheng doesn’t like me, he just asked me to do him a favor and let me tell the world that we loved each other after he dies.”
Gu Tunan saw Tang Bai trembling all over, as if he had heard something that completely overturned his knowledge, “He, when did he go to ask you for help?”
“At the end of the mecha duel for the chief assessment, I bumped into him going into estrus and found out he was an omega. A few days later, I confessed to him, but he rejected me and asked me for this.”
After saying this, Gu Tunan saw Tang Bai shed a tear.
Then the tears fell like broken jade beads, one drop after another, along with the extremely rich sadness.
He was obviously crying, but a smile appeared on his tear-stained face. Tang Bai covered his face and covered his eyes with his hands. In the artificial darkness, he seemed to be able to abandon all the rules, calmness, and decency, crying like an extremely wronged child.
….
In Tang Bai’s memory, the first time he and Xie Ruheng met was in the library of the Federal Military Academy.
He asked Xie Ruheng to help him get a book. This alpha was very tall, with long hands and feet, and he was too good-looking.
He thought that this alpha could participate in the election for the varsity of the Federal Military Academy. The varsity was chosen by a group of omegas from their etiquette academy when they had nothing to do.
When Tang Bai returned to the dormitory with the book in hand, he happened to hear Tong Meng and the others discussing the new president of the Federal Military Academy enthusiastically. Seeing Tang Bai coming, the little omegas were quiet for a moment. Under Tang Bai’s questioning eyes, Tong Meng felt embarrassed. Then he opened his mouth and said: “Baby, it’s not that we don’t talk about intimacy, it’s just that this time the new school handsome boy is so good-looking, it’s hard for us to say without conscience that Gu Tunan is more handsome than him. Of course, Gu Tunan is also very handsome.!”
Tang Bai took a closer look curiously and saw that the photo of the new school president selected by the Etiquette Academy was a snapshot.
It was at the gate of the Federal Military Academy where freshmen had just entered. The black-haired and dark-eyed alpha was carrying his luggage. He seemed to feel the shooting equipment. So, he turned back with a cold face, his cold phoenix eyes looked at the camera, and the feeling of oppression coming towards his face seemed like he was traveling through time, space and the screen, and it together with the rich and colorful beauty, struck Tang Bai’s face.
“His name is Xie Ruheng, a gentleman like Ruheng. He is so good-looking!”
Tang Bai smiled and said, “Yes, he is even prettier than in the photo.”
All the omegas said: “!!!”
Tang Bai told the story of the encounter in the library. After a moment, everyone was so envious that they wailed, “I really want to meet the school idol by chance!” “I heard that he looks very fierce in person, and your legs will go weak when you are in front of him!” “But Xie Ruheng is very nice in Tang Tang’s description. Ah, he even helped to get the book…”
Everyone was imagining a beautiful love. After finishing his skin care, Tang Bai lay on the bed, put down the bed curtain, and read “Energy Vibration”. When he opened the book, he would occasionally think of the way Xie Ruheng handed the book to him. He was indeed a person with a very superior appearance.
Tang Bai thought that if he really wanted to get married under pressure, he might as well find someone with this look. Even if he didn’t have love, he would at least be pleasant to look at every day.
At this time, Tang Bai’s daily life was the same, as calm as a pool of stagnant water. He went to class step by step, went on blind dates, and sometimes went shopping with his mother. When watching his mother playing with the canary in the cage, he would inevitably think of own life.
He thought that there didn’t seem to be much difference between himself and the bird in the cage.
Whenever he had such an idea, he would take out his mecha drawings and quietly design by himself. This was his world, and he moved freely in this world. Sometimes he released a fat chirp and let it hit the sky. But only in such a world could he find a moment of reality when he brought a Erha and let it tear apart his family wantonly.
Many times when he looked in the mirror, he couldn’t recognize who the person in the mirror was. Director Huang said that alphas all over the world would like his appearance, but in fact, the love of those alphas was not worth mentioning to him.
He dressed himself up just to please himself.
But now when he looked at himself, no matter how good-looking the person in the mirror was, he couldn’t seem to be happy anymore.
The live broadcast of the mecha manufacturing competition was being played, and the champion was Cheng Yangbin. Tang Bai saw his grandfather personally awarding the alpha trophy. He saw the barrage of countless words of praise. He watched and suddenly turned off the live broadcast.
He thought a little bit that this champion was not as good as him.
Then he was a little sad, sad that he couldn’t use his talent.
He felt it was a loss to the world.
Tang Bai held a thick stack of treasured drawings. He hoped that these works would never be seen in the world, so he pouted aggrievedly and logged into the Mechanical Coffin. He happened to see someone posting a post looking for free operation mode in a mecha. The degree of freedom was extremely high for a mecha.
Eh?
Tang Bai pulled out the design drawing of the Pink Rabbit mecha. He felt that this drawing completely met the requirements. He thought about it and contacted the mecha master.
The mecha master hoped that the price of the drawings would be cheaper and the budget for the appearance would be lowered. He also gave him an example of the mecha style in the underground arena. It was impossible to reduce the price. How could the mecha drawings he designed be sold at such a low price?
But what the mecha master said aroused Tang Bai’s interest. He had never been to the underground arena and was very curious for a while. Finally, he told the mecha master his original intention of designing this mecha…..He was greeted by an unexpected series of rainbow farts.
“Among all the weapons created for combat, you were the only one who designed it from the perspective of all mankind, regardless of gender or sexual characteristics. You are the first designer in interstellar history to connect omega and mecha…”
Tang Bai… was amused.
The corners of his mouth were raised to the sky and he seemed to stand side by side with the sun. He felt like he was being blown away. He laughed and cried at the same time.
He thought that the future this person was talking about was really wonderful. What kind of mecha designs were worthy of being recorded in history? What concepts would bring milestone changes to the manufacturing of interstellar mechas? But none of these things would come true. He was just an omega. If he couldn’t be a mecha builder, his ideas won’t be heard.
He chatted with this mecha master until late at night. There were many things that he had never told anyone, but maybe he and this mecha master were too compatible, or maybe he was really too tired and needed a way to vent. And this netizen named “X” neither knew his real identity nor did he know his gender, so he could say this to the other party without any worries.
He said he recently had a prototype for a flying mecha, and the design was inspired by a canary he saw.
That was the canary in the cage. It was beautiful.
X asked, is it a canary-shaped mecha?
He said no, it looks like a silver-throated long-tailed tit, commonly known as a fat chirp. Have you seen a fat chirp? He sent X a picture of a silver-throated long-tailed tit.
After a while, they looked like they were in good condition.
X also told him that this kind of bird was not suitable to be kept as a pet. It would die if it was not well fed and would also die if it was too lonely. The most suitable life for it was to live freely in the forest.
Yes.
Being too lonely would kill you.
Tang Bai was suddenly out of breath. He lay on the bed blankly, holding the silent Palulu doll, staring blankly at the ceiling.
He didn’t want to stay in this cage anymore. He wanted to go outside and see everything. He didn’t want to live this same life anymore, marry someone he didn’t like, and live a life that could end with just one glance.
So he decided to leave for the underground arena.
It was because of this decision that he met Xiao Cheng, or in other words, he met Xie Ruheng again.
Director Huang said that if you want to increase the success rate of being single, you could do exciting things with your alpha. Oh, this kind of stimulation did not refer to things that were not suitable for children, but used the suspension bridge effect to make the other party mistakenly think that the heartbeat caused by special situations was accelerated.
At first, he thought it was the aura of a hero saving a beauty and the suspension bridge effect that made him fall in love with Xiao Cheng.
But after thinking about it for a long time, he found that it was not the case.
That encounter allowed him to see Xie Ruheng’s rebellious and vivid soul under his cold appearance. His brows were obviously cold, but there was a burning fire in his eyes.
It showed him a world he had never been exposed to, hot and vivid, which fascinated him too much.
Xie Ruheng took him to the underground arena and helped him choose a mask. At that moment, he felt as if he was attending a masquerade party with Xie Ruheng.
But that wasn’t a dance, it was a cruel underground arena. Xie Ruheng saw that he was scared and covered his eyes with his hands.
His eyelids could feel the scars on Xie Ruheng’s hands. He was wondering what on earth this man had experienced? What made him so fierce and free, what made him maintain his unruly soul?
