Chapter 13
Gu Tunan saw confusion in those amber eyes. The anger in his heart found a way to vent, and turned into vicious and unfounded slanderous words: "Xie Ruheng only beat Qin Jun because he was humiliated by his background."
"You should know what it means to be well-fed and well-clothed, and to know honor and disgrace, and what it means to be poor and filthy, and to be unruly."
"He comes from the lower class and hates the nobles. There is nothing he won't do to satisfy his desires and vent his anger." Gu Tunan said meaningfully: "In his mind, you are probably someone who needs to be conquered and overthrown."
Tang Bai looked at Gu Tunan expressionlessly. There was no turmoil in his eyes as Gu Tunan had imagined, but instead a very cold emotion.
The amber eyes were like some kind of expensive jewels, cold and a little strange.
He did not raise his chin high as he did before, nor did he make any artificial gestures. His back was straight, and his tone and expression were as cold as before.
"It is ridiculous to attribute evil to one's origin. The evil of the poor may be done for the sake of survival, while the evil of the powerful is done to satisfy their desires and vent their anger. It's just that the powerful can use a fig leaf to cover up their crimes."
For the first time, Gu Tunan discovered that when Tang Bai didn't pinch his throat when speaking, his voice was very pleasant, like the crisp sound of jade being struck.
"Gu Tunan, you're not——" Is he the protagonist?
Tang Bai paused, his brows furrowed, his beautiful eyes looked a little sad, his face was so delicate, so when that little bit of sadness emerged, the frowning look was distressing, "You shouldn't be this kind of person."
"You may dislike omegas who are used to being coquettish and think they are useless vases, but you will not discriminate against the entire omega group without reason. When an omega is insulted, even if you cannot empathize with them, you will still feel a little angry."
You will sympathize with Xie Ruheng who was punished, think that Qin Jun's actions were excessive, and use the power of the Gu family to help reduce Xie Ruheng's punishment.
"You may not like the lazy, arsonist, and looting people in the slums, but you won't be like those nobles like Qin Jun. You know that the cruel environment in the slums will infinitely magnify the evil of human nature. At the same time, you also know that in such an environment, the goodness of human nature is extremely precious."
You will be attracted by the shining points in Xie Ruheng, you will understand him, support him, and help him change this bad society.
Even though you are the protagonist in the book and have many shortcomings, you are different from those bad alphas. Because you fell in love with Xie Ruheng, you are willing to change your bad habits little by little. Only in this way can you be worthy of being with the light of omega.
But...but why have you become like this now?
Why do you say that about Xie Ruheng?
Xie Ruheng is obviously the best omega in the world, and he deserves all the good things in the world.
And you don't deserve it.
"Gu Tunan, you really disappoint me." Tang Bai said softly. His voice was so soft but his eyes were so sad as if he was about to cry.
Gu Tunan stood there in a daze.
He never knew...
It turns out that this is the kind of person he is in Tang Bai's mind.
The dishes were served and a bowl of mango and coconut milk shaved ice was placed next to Tang Bai.
"I'm sorry, I'm allergic to mangoes and the smell makes me uncomfortable. I can't have dinner with you." Tang Bai stood up and left.
Gu Tunan still sat in his seat, motionless. He sat like this for a long time, and many memories suddenly came to him.
He suddenly remembered that during a date, a cute little omega said to him, "I'm sorry, I'm allergic to mangoes and can't eat them."
What was he thinking at that time?
The alpha in my memory had a cold expression on his face, and I thought impatiently in my heart, what a coquettish and troublesome omega.

Tang Bai walked out of the restaurant and contacted a beta lawyer he had worked with before.
Although omegas are oppressed and exploited in the whole society, the alphas in the society have done a good job of covering up the situation. They always say that they will respect the rights of omegas and will not allow others to harass or insult omegas at will, especially to insult a noble omega.
Yes, the treatment of civilian omegas and noble omegas is different. Some alphas privately say that the punishment for raping a civilian omega is not as severe as scolding a noble omega.
If you happen to meet an omega like Tang Bai who has power, influence, time and a grudge, it would be a mistake if Tang Bai doesn't beat him up.
Because the lawyer needed to find Xie Ruheng to understand the specific situation that happened at that time, Tang Bai prepared to tell Xie Ruheng about this matter.
At this time, Xie Ruheng was cleaning up the garbage in the toilet. He put on plastic gloves and took out the garbage bag without changing his expression.
With this punishment, he realized that the public toilets in the federal military academy were cleaned every half an hour, and the garbage was taken out, the floor was mopped, and deodorant and fragrance were sprayed, etc., so there was almost no odor in the toilets.
However, Xie Ruheng was worried that he just thought there was no odor, so he took a shower and changed clothes when he went to see Tang Bai.
"Hey, our classmate Xie is so serious about hygiene. Why don't you consider staying in your alma mater as a janitor after graduation?" Qin Jun covered his mouth and nose with a look of disgust and said exaggeratedly.
Xie Ruheng paused while tying the garbage bag.
Being a college toilet cleaner is actually a hot job in slums, and many children aspire to have such a "decent" and "easy" job.
Many people in the slums can only work in mines with low safety factors, eat one meal a day, sleep on the ground, and work day and night to save money for their children to go to school.
The best educational resources these parents can find for their children are schools in the slums that can only provide literacy education. They then save the tolls and send their children to work in the city.
Cleaner, nanny, maid, waiter...these are all very decent jobs.
——"Go work in a noble family's house! The noble family's house is so beautiful, with a garden, a fountain, and a toilet that smells better than our room. The noble masters will also prepare a room for you, a big room, which they say is a servant's room..."
An uneducated woman could not use vulgar language to describe the magnificence and splendor of aristocratic mansions. She was already very ill at the time, and when she talked about the good future of being a maid, her face flushed with a sickly red.
"If you serve the noble family master well, and if you become a butler in the future, it will be a honor - what is the honor... Anyway, it will bring honor to your ancestors!"
She was so excited that she kept coughing and coughing up blood.
Xie Ruheng wanted to wipe it off for her, but there was so much blood that he could not wipe it off no matter how hard he tried.
Then she died.
She left a "toll" for Xie Ruheng, which was a huge sum of money for Xie Ruheng at that time. With this money, he could pass through the wall between the slums and the city and do anything in the city, even begging.
But he didn't.
He used the money to bury his mother.
"How can you be in a daze while working?" Qin Jun spat on the ground and looked at Xie Ruheng provocatively: "This place is dirty, lick it clean."
The dark phoenix eyes looked at him quietly, without any obvious emotional fluctuations, but with a terrifying calmness.
It's like...looking at a dead body.
Bathed in such a gaze, the bruises on his neck felt a dull pain. At this moment, Qin Jun recalled the fear of being strangled by Xie Ruheng. His neck shrank and his body subconsciously showed fear.
After realizing what he had done, Qin Jun was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He had a grim expression and gritted his teeth as he said, "Lick it! Do you want me to say it again?!"
What is there to be afraid of? He is just a stink bug from the slums. No matter how strong he is, do you dare to kill him? In the end, you will still have to clean the toilet for him!
"Ding Dong~" the message reminder sounded.
Xie Ruheng ignored Qin Jun, turned on the computer and read the message sent by Tang Bai.
Tang Bai first asked Xie Ruheng in a wronged tone why he didn't tell him when he was bullied, but his tone suddenly changed in the next second. He angrily said that he had found a lawyer to protect Qin Jun's rights, and he would not be called Tang unless he could make Qin Jun suffer. Finally, he said in a cute way that he wanted to come and do hygiene with Xie Ruheng.
The tone switches seamlessly between cute and fierce.
——"Brother Xie, don't be angry. This time, let me protect you, okay? I'm going to tear the head off that bastard Qin Jun!"
Xie Ruheng lowered his eyes and looked at Tang Bai's swearing words. He suddenly remembered that many years ago, when his parents were still alive, someone had defended him without hesitation.
*
Tang Bai regretted it after he finished writing a series of short essays insulting Qin Jun. How could he swear in front of the Omega Light!
It feels good to scold Qin Jun, but his sweet and lovely image in Xie Ruheng's heart is completely ruined!
Tang Bai was in tears and just wanted to help Xie Ruheng share the punishment to rebuild his image, but Xie Ruheng refused Tang Bai's plan to go over and help.
Xie Ruheng took some time to talk to the lawyer. After the lawyer wrote down Qin Jun's insults and showed them to Tang Bai, Tang Bai, who was reading a thick book called "Mecha Modification and Painting Technology", said: "......"
He smiled, raised his middle finger, and called out sweetly, "Ganlinliang."
*
Qin Jun, who was applying ointment on his neck, suddenly sneezed. He stared at the bruises on his neck in the mirror with a gloomy expression, and recalled the humiliation of being strangled by Xie Ruheng yesterday.
Just asking Xie Ruheng to clean the toilet for a month is such a bargain for him!
The sudden computer message interrupted Qin Jun's revenge plan. He rubbed his neck, clicked it, and found that he had received a lawyer's letter.
Qin Jun: “......?!”
