Chapter 17
Qin Jun walked up to the podium with a gloomy face. He looked at Tang Bai with hatred, and the resentment in his eyes was so strong that water could almost drip out.
"......I'm sorry." He whispered this sentence in a low voice, put down the phone and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Tang Bai on the stage raised his trumpet, pointed it in the direction Qin Jun left, cleared his throat, and said with a deep breath: "That's it? That's it!"
The clear and sweet question was transmitted to the entire campus through the military microphone. Everyone's eyes were focused on the cheerleading team, staring in amazement at the little omega who tilted his head in distress.
The little omegas behind him looked at each other, mustered up their courage and gathered around the small speaker and shouted in unison: "That's it! That's it?!"
The crisp slogans were concise, powerful, neat and unified.
After the little omegas finished shouting, they looked towards the audience. They thought they would see accusatory or contemptuous looks, but... what they saw were a bunch of dumbfounded faces of alphas.
The group of alphas were already confused.
Qin Jun was also confused.
"Your perfunctory attitude now shows that you don't understand where you are wrong. I don't want your cheap apology." Tang Bai raised his head high, his eyes bright, with a disdainful expression, but there was a clear stubbornness between his eyebrows.
He raised his trumpet and shouted more sincerely, "I think everyone must know what you have done. Your words and deeds have tarnished the innocence of omegas. You have bullied civilian students and have behaved in a bad manner. You need to apologize to all omegas and civilians!"
Tong Meng, who was hiding behind Tang Bai, was stunned for a moment, silently looking at Tang Bai's figure with his hands on his waist, and his mind flashed with what Tang Bai had just said to them. He said: "Only when you are shy will you be looked down upon. Lift your head, hold your chest high, and stand up straight. If I like you, I like you, and if I dislike you, I dislike you. What's the matter? Can't we omegas just say it openly-"
"We hate alphas who don't respect omegas!"
People saw the boy's eyebrows raised, chin raised, and unabashed arrogance and aggression displayed on his face. However, this unreasonableness was not annoying, but rather like a snarling little cat.
It’s so beautiful... This thought came to the minds of countless people at the same time.
What he said made perfect sense. Those students who had been bullied by Qin Jun began to whisper to each other and were eager to rush forward to support Tang Bai.
Qin Jun's face turned red and white, white and black, which was more exciting than an overturned paint tray. He clenched his fists and stared at this sharp-tongued omega.
Damn it, if I wasn't worried that Tang Bai would tell everyone that he raped an omega...
Looking at the huge crowd below the stage, especially Xie Ruheng in front of the Mecha Department, Qin Jun's eyes could hardly suppress the hatred. He spoke with difficulty: "Because of my inappropriate words last night, I caused harm to Tang Bai from the Etiquette College and Xie Ruheng from the Mecha Department. I apologize to you here."
Tang Bai insisted, "Oh? You mean, don't you need to apologize to the other omegas you insulted? Don't you need to apologize to the other civilian students you bullied?!"
The clear eyes seemed to be able to see the boy's world of black and white. He was protected too well, pure and flawless, so he could not tolerate the slightest darkness.
What's even more rare is that, unlike those nobles who look down on common people, Tang Bai has never had any class prejudice. His world is full of flowers, jewelry, desserts, milk fragrance, and warmth and beauty that make people linger.
[WTF, it’s actually a little bell pepper! ]
[Baby is so cool, I love crying so much]
[Qin Jun is my high school classmate. When we were in high school, he played with the feelings of ordinary omegas everywhere, took advantage of them and ignored them. He even persuaded an omega whose parents came to the school to make trouble to drop out of school. I never thought he would end up like this...]
[I'm actually seeing someone criticizing Qin Jun in my lifetime. Didn't the Qin family get rich from mining and have good relations with a bunch of noble families in the Federation? I thought no one would refuse to give face to the Qin family.]
[Qin Jun's face turned black]
......
Qin Jun clenched his teeth, his eyes were so fierce that they almost spit fire, and he glared at Tang Bai fiercely.
Tang Bai was not afraid at all. He even clapped his hands briskly. Then the repeaters behind him shouted in unison: "Don't you need it? Don't you need it!"
Tang Baichong, who came with his own BGM, smiled sweetly at Qin Jun.
Aren't you pretentious?
Don't you think my omega light is a bastard?
Don't you look down on omegas and civilian students?
Come on, keep going, don't kneel.
Tang Bai's smile was sickeningly sweet. He was still the adorable, well-behaved, sweet little omega, but his amber eyes were extremely cold.
The great humiliation washed over his body and mind. Qin Jun clenched his fists tightly, and countless vicious and obscene curse words poured out of his lips.
But I can't say it.
Because this omega is the only son of the Tang family, the most beloved grandson of Mr. Tang, and the fiancée of Gu Tunan of the Gu family. If you want to touch him, you will have to bear the wrath of both the Tang and Gu families.
His father's angry words to him were still ringing in his ears: "Who do you think you are? How dare you provoke Tang Bai! Did you know that Admiral Gu cut off the interstellar route for our Qin family's cargo transportation because of this incident?! Idiot!"
Qin Jun clenched his fists tighter and tighter, biting his teeth to swallow the dirty words, and said, "I also want to apologize to everyone I have hurt."
Looking at the huge crowd below the stage, especially Xie Ruheng in front of the mecha formation, he could hardly suppress the resentment in his eyes.
Asking Qin Jun to apologize to this gang of bastards was more painful than asking him to die. His expression was distorted, and he was silent for a long time. Finally, he said humiliatingly, "I'm sorry."
The scene that Tang Bai had always wanted to see while reading the article finally appeared. His Omega Light, who had suffered unfair treatment in school simply because of his slum origin, finally received the apology he deserved.
Tang Bai raised his trumpet and looked at Xie Ruheng from a distance. He felt sad and his eyes were soft. He asked softly, "Xie Ruheng, do you have anything to say?"
Xie Ruheng looked at Tang Bai under the blazing sun. When their eyes met, the only thing he could see was the glittering Tang Bai. The whispers of heaven and earth echoed in his ears. Everyone was talking about Tang Bai:
"Is this omega called Tang Bai?"
"He's so cute. I think I'm in love."
"He is also a noble, right? There are nobles who would speak up for us commoners."
"This is the first time I've seen such a powerful omega."
......
The diamond-encrusted small speaker was equipped with a flight system and flew into Xie Ruheng's hands. He took the speaker and countless eyes fell on him, but this time, Xie Ruheng did not feel any resentment in his heart, because he knew that among the millions of eyes, one came from Tang Bai.
The black-haired, black-eyed military student stood tall and handsome. He said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Qin Jun, you call the civilian students bastards and don't want to go to the same school with us, but do you know how many martyrs shed blood and sacrificed their lives before our federation was founded, so that civilians can have the right to go to school today?"
Staring at Qin Jun with his dark eyes, Xie Ruheng said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "We are not inferior to others. We will be the spear and shield of the Federation, protecting the people and the Federation."
He looked solemn, clenched his left fist, and struck his chest three times.
This is an ancient etiquette that means absolute loyalty.
The speaker faithfully transmitted the muffled sound of Xie Ruheng beating his chest.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Like a steady heartbeat.
The meaning of this etiquette can be summed up in one sentence: "I am willing to dedicate my heart to the one to whom I am loyal."
The impassioned speech coupled with the emotional etiquette moved many cadets present, and they beat their chests one after another as if beating war drums.
Regardless of whether they were civilian students who had been bullied by Qin Jun or had never met him before, all of them performed the oldest ceremony of allegiance.
One, two, ten, a thousand...
After Xie Ruheng gathered together those individuals whom Qin Jun disdained, the force formed was enough to make even the senior military officials watching the live broadcast look at them in awe, not to mention Qin Jun who was already shocked.
Looking at the united civilian students, Qin Jun turned pale, his lips moved up and down, but he could not utter any words to defend himself.
The situation was out of control. If he didn't apologize sincerely, and Tang Bai revealed that he had raped an omega, he would be finished...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qin Jun finally bowed his head and said in a trembling voice: "I am here to apologize for insulting omegas and civilian students."
After saying this, he bent down silently, put his two fingers together and placed them on his forehead.
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Because the meaning of this etiquette is "God, please forgive my sins, if not, please abandon me."
This arrogant and self-righteous alpha really lowered his head this time.
However, Xie Ruheng, who crushed Qin Jun's fighting spirit, looked calm and composed.
I don't know which alpha started clapping, more and more military academy students joined in the applause, some shouted "Brother Xie is awesome", some said "Brother Xie should be the chief"......
Tang Bai held the little face in her hands, looked at Xie Ruheng with starry eyes, and her heart was so soft.
As expected of our omega light! So handsome!
He excitedly sprinkled all the rose petals in the basket onto the stage, and the rich and beautiful rose rain rose up and fell on countless alphas.
Xie Ruheng raised his head and looked at Tang Bai quietly. His eyes were almost greedily fixated on the boy's bright and charming face. The light shining in his amber eyes was more dazzling than any gem.
This is the little gem that shines for him.
Gu Tunan stood beside Xie Ruheng, staring blankly at the omega on the platform with his gray-blue eyes. Confident, independent, energetic, reserved and beautiful, this was the look of the omega he liked.
The omega who loved him deeply finally changed into the person he liked for him, but at the same time, she was also heartbroken by him.
There was a trace of attachment and regret in his eyes, and Gu Tunan tasted bitterness for the first time. How could he push the omega who loved him so much further and further away, and even push him to another alpha?
Seeing Tang Bai smiling at Xie Ruheng, Gu Tunan slowly tightened his hands hanging at his side.
"It seems that Qin Jun has deeply realized his mistake. I hope that all students can learn from it and not only learn how to study, but also learn how to respect omegas." The principal spoke gently and concluded the matter.
Mother Qin, who had been watching the live broadcast, breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could be happy, she heard a bang.
Father Qin smashed the cup with a sullen face!
"What are you smashing? Isn't everything alright? The principal has announced that the matter is over. Why are you so angry?" Mother Qin complained, patting her chest.
"What an omega's opinion!" Qin's father pointed at his wife's nose and cursed: "Let's not talk about anything else. Xiao Jun's handle is in the hands of the Tang family. They can turn over the past whenever they want. Can you stop them from calling the police?! Damn Tang family and Gu family, don't think this matter can be easily turned over!"
"Where are you going?"
Looking back at his crying wife, Qin's father said coldly, "Where else can you go? Clean up the mess for your stupid son!"
The principal in the live studio continued to speak: "I really envy you. We didn't have omegas as cheerleaders at our entrance ceremony back then. If there had been, I might have been inspired to take first place."
He looked at the high-spirited, confident young omega, and then at the restless, eager-to-try alpha students, and couldn't help but laugh: "Perform well, brats, and don't make a fool of yourself by the omegas who come over to cheer you on!"
The military cadets cheered in the audience, and the principal's sad eyes were filled with a smile.
I really envy you, little boys, for meeting an omega who will make your heart beat fast for the rest of your life at your best years.
Even if you can't marry the beauty, when you recall your youth, you can still remember those amazing years.
