Chapter 12

The next morning, Tang Bai put on a floral lace apron and matching delicate sleeves and went to cooking class with Tong Meng.

They learn a new dish in every class, and the final exam is to randomly select a dish from the ones they have learned, make it within a limited time, and grade it based on color, aroma and taste.

However, top students can challenge difficult dishes that are not included in the exam scope. Once they succeed in making them, they can get full marks in the cooking class.

The dish the teacher is going to teach you today is fish porridge.

All other aspects were fine, but killing the fish made Tong Meng worried. He looked at Tang Bai.

The red fish was jumping around on the chopping board. When it was about to jump out of the board, a beautiful hand held down the fish's head, and the other hand held a knife and knocked the fish unconscious with a clean and decisive move.

Tang Bai skillfully cut open the fish belly and scraped off the scales, then cut from the head to the tail and took out the fish meat along the bones.

The slender fingers were like green onions, and the fingertips were faintly pink, which made people worry that these beautiful hands would be cut. The scene of killing fish created by Tang Bai was truly pleasing to the eye.

After seeing the top student demonstrate, Tong Meng also held down the red fish. However, due to his lack of experience, he was unable to knock the fish out with one strike, causing the fish to struggle in great pain for a long time.

Tang Bai tilted his head and quietly watched the omega classmates killing fish around him.

Many readers in the comments section yesterday said that it was impossible for an omega to kill someone when it was so weak. At this moment, an idea suddenly popped up in Tang Bai's mind -

Is there any difference between killing people and killing fish?

With a sharp movement of his hand, he cut open the belly.

"Tangtang, you have great knife skills." Tong Meng couldn't help but praise while cutting fish.

With wet eyes as innocent and naive as a little deer, Tang Bai pursed his lips and smiled as if he was embarrassed to accept other people's compliments, and dimples on his cheeks appeared faintly.

It was already eleven o'clock when the class was over. Tang Bai packed up the fish porridge he had prepared, took his lunch box and went to see Director Huang to get his leave application approved.

This time, Tang Bai was going to use Gu Tunan as a tool for the last time, and he asked for leave on the grounds of "breaking up with Gu Tunan in person."

After all, he and Gu Tunan had met each other's parents, so he had to explain things to Gu Tunan formally, politely and decisively, so that the Gu family would not say behind his back that he was impolite.

"Xiao Tang, think about it again. Do you really want to break up with Gu Tunan? It's hard to find an alpha with such superior conditions as Gu Tunan..." Director Huang advised earnestly, slurping his saliva as he spoke, "It smells so good. Are you going to give this porridge to the alpha last night?"

Tang Bai nodded.

"The alpha last night was not bad. Although his family background is not as good as Gu Tunan's, he is good in other aspects, especially his appearance." Director Huang patted Tang Bai on the shoulder and suddenly said passionately: "Since you have made your choice, then grasp it well and don't change your mind easily! Got it!"

Tang Bai: “…”

Tang Bai: "Teacher, you misunderstood. Xie Ruheng and I don't have this kind of relationship..."

Director Huang: "Oh, so his name is Xie Ruheng. Please give the love lunch box to Xie. It won't taste good if it gets cold!"

Tang Bai: “…”

Forget it, let it be a misunderstanding. It will be convenient for me to take leave in the future.

Tang Bai went to the Federal Military Academy with his lunch box. He decided to find Xie Ruheng first, and then talk to Gu Tunan after delivering lunch.

The Federal Military Academy will not start formal military training until tomorrow, so Xie Ruheng should not have anything to do. However, Tang Bai stood in the guard room for a long time before he saw Xie Ruheng striding towards him.

"Brother Xie!" Tang Bai shouted with full energy, his dimples were faintly visible when he spoke, and his voice was intoxicatingly sweet. He handed the lunch box to Xie Ruheng, "I made fish fillet porridge, I wonder if you like it, Brother Xie~"

"Don't send it every day next time. It's too troublesome." Xie Ruheng took the lunch box.

"No, no, this is my cooking class assignment. If I don't give it to Brother Xie, the teacher will treat it as an excellent work and give it to my classmates to taste." Tang Bai said sincerely, "I'll be happier if I give it to Brother Xie."

They stood closer, and Tang Bai discovered that Xie Ruheng seemed to have just taken a shower. He was wearing a hat and the ends of his hair were wet.

Tang Bai took out a small handkerchief, raised it and waved his hand, "Xie Ge, please lower your head for a moment."

Xie Ruheng: “?”

Tang Bai gently wiped the water droplets on his black hair with a handkerchief, muttering, "My hair isn't dry yet. Hey, Brother Xie, your hair is really good. Do you usually use conditioner when you wash your hair?"

At such a close distance, Xie Ruheng could smell the faint scent of milk on Tang Bai. He took a deep breath without making a sound, not paying any attention to what Tang Bai said.

The water droplets flowed from the cheeks to the neck, and Tang Bai wiped the water marks on his neck with his hand.

Xie Ruheng's breathing paused for a moment.

The neck is a very vulnerable part, and he had never exposed his weakness so unconcealedly in front of others. Every part of his body was resisting.

When Xie Ruheng wanted to take a step back, he saw Tang Bai take a deep breath, narrow his eyes in satisfaction and exclaimed: "Brother Xie, you smell so good. What brand of shower gel and shampoo do you use?"

Xie Ruheng's pupils trembled.

When an omega says to an alpha, "I like the smell of you," it is equivalent to "I like your pheromones," which, rounded off, is equivalent to "I like you!"

This little green tea girl is really too bold!

Not wanting to show his shyness, Xie Ruheng pretended to be calm and used his most calm and seductive voice, like a seasoned lover, to reply, "You smell good, too."

Tang Bai took out a perfume bottle, "Do you like it? I'll spray it for you~"

Xie Ruheng was unable to react for a moment, and then he saw Tang Bai sniffing him like a little animal, "Forget it, you already smell good, and adding my scent will make it mixed."

Your taste, plus, my taste.

An invisible car whizzed past over Xie Ruheng's soul. Xie Ruheng looked dazed and for a moment he could not think of any more exciting rhetoric to turn the tables.

He lost...

"By the way, Brother Xie, are you free today? I haven't taught you etiquette yet." Tang Bai asked.

Xie Ruheng was silent for a moment, then said, "There's no rush for etiquette, so there's no need to teach it today. Also... I'm going to be quite busy these days, so I can't accompany you to the slums tonight."

"I'm sorry, I broke my promise."

Busy? Did something happen?

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just planning to go to your school's library to borrow some books and look at some materials related to mechanics. I can do the same when I go to the slums later!" Tang Bai was afraid that Xie Ruheng would blame himself, so he kept saying, "Reading professional books is also a way to collect materials. It doesn't affect my writing at all!"

I thought that after letting Tang Bai go, a delicate little omega like her would be angry, but I didn't expect Tang Bai to be so considerate. Xie Ruheng's eyes showed a little warmth, "What book are you looking for? I'll go to the library with you to borrow a book."

"Mechanical Principles and Structures", "Common Weapons Processing and Manufacturing", "Energy Vibration", "Mecha Modification and Painting Technology"... "Tang Bai opened his mouth and listed a series of book titles without looking at any prompts. Xie Ruheng was a little surprised at Tang Bai's understanding of these books.

But considering that Tang Bai's grandfather was the director of the weapons research institute, Xie Ruheng was not surprised.

He took Tang Bai to the library to borrow these books, and then left in a hurry, looking busy as if he had a lot of things to do.

Tang Bai asked Xie Ruheng what he was busy with and whether he could help, but Xie Ruheng didn't say anything.

I don’t know if I’ll get hungry and thin from being so busy, so why not make some midnight snack for Xie Ruheng?

Tang Bai's eyes lit up and he thought it was a good idea. He was sitting in a restaurant waiting for Gu Tunan at that time. He thought Gu Tunan would be late as usual, but unexpectedly, Gu Tunan arrived on time this time.

It turns out that Gu Tunan still has time to think about such things, Tang Bai said with emotion.

"Have you ordered?" Gu Tunan asked as he picked up the menu. After hearing that Tang Bai hadn't ordered yet, he selected a few dishes. Thinking that omegas like desserts, he ordered a cup of mango and coconut milk shaved ice.

After ordering the dishes, Gu Tunan folded his hands and looked directly at Tang Bai, ready to have a good talk with Tang Bai, such as staying away from Xie Ruheng. If she wanted to be his fiancée, she had to keep a distance from other alphas.

"I came to you today to discuss our breakup."

Gu Tunan: “......?”

"Oh, I was wrong, it's not a breakup."

Gu Tunan's expression calmed down as he picked up the water cup and took a sip.

"After all, we have never been together." Tang Bai had just finished speaking when he saw Gu Tunan choking on the water and coughing.

"What do you mean?" Gu Tunan's voice was a little hoarse after coughing. He frowned and looked at Tang Bai as if he was looking at a child who was making trouble for no reason.

Tang Bai didn't like Gu Tunan's look. He really didn't like this kind of "looking down" look at all.

Because this kind of look lacks the most basic respect.

He raised his chin, and looked at Gu Tunan with his beautiful amber eyes with pride, "I want to break up with you. I will explain to my family that there is no love between us, our personalities and values ​​are not compatible, and we are not suitable to be together."

Gu Tunan's expression gradually became stiff.

"If you're worried that your uncle and aunt will be angry, just blame it on me. I was the one who insisted on leaving you. You tried to keep me, but failed." Tang Bai raised his eyebrows and gave a insincere blessing: "Finally, I hope you can find your ideal omega soon."

Gu Tunan frowned the whole time, and there seemed to be an indelible wrinkle between his brows, "...You want to be with Xie Ruheng?"

Tang Bai: “???”

What are you two thinking about?

The unpleasant feeling of having his property touched by someone else was stronger than ever before. The words Qin Jun had said now emerged in Gu Tunan's mind with great clarity:

—— “He’s a lowly maggot that’s only fit to crawl in the slums. I really don’t know what your little fiancée likes about him?

—— "Your fiancée, your property, and your omega were taken by a jerk."

——"A lowly person marries a promiscuous man."

Good upbringing prevented Gu Tunan from speaking ill of Qin Jun, but he had no way to vent his unhappiness. He pursed his thin lips slightly, and his gray-blue eyes seemed to be frozen. After a while, he slowly said, "Can't you smell the stench on him?"

——"No matter how good his skin is, his blood is still dirty and vile."

Tang Bai: “???”

What are you talking about? I've smelled it! My omega light smells really good! Much better than you stinky alphas!

"Wouldn't it be nauseating to eat with him after he cleaned the toilet?"

——"Eating with these bugs really makes me lose my appetite..."

Tang Bai's face darkened when he heard this. "What did you say? What happened to Xie Ruheng?"

"He attacked his classmates and was punished by the school." Gu Tunan said coldly: "He was punished to clean the toilets in the school for a month. I guess after a month, the stench on his body can't be washed off no matter how hard he tries."

Tang Bai: “!!!”

Tang Bai was about to burst. His poor, innocent omega light that smelled so sweet had to endure such punishment!

However, the original novel clearly states that Xie Ruheng and Qin Jun had a conflict during the first etiquette class. How come this happened earlier?

Tang Bai asked uncertainly: "Did Xie Ruheng pinch Qin Jun's neck?"

A hint of mockery flashed across his grey-blue eyes, and Gu Tunan said disdainfully: "Did Xie Ruheng go and have a fight with you?"

"Did he tell you that he hit you because Qin Jun insulted you with words?"

Tang Bai: “??????????”
