Chapter 20
Tang Bai and Xie Ruheng came to an empty practice room. He opened the thermos box, scooped a few spoonfuls into a bowl, and handed it to Xie Ruheng attentively.
“Try it!”
Xie Ruheng picked up the bowl with both hands and took a sip carefully. This small mouthful of soup concentrated the freshness and fragrance of various ingredients. After being simmered for more than 40 hours, it was impossible to tell where the freshness of seafood and the fragrance of chicken were. The soup was mellow and smooth, with a salty taste and a sweet taste.
Just one bite and the soul seems to be sublimated.
The little beast inside sighed with satisfaction and almost burst into tears.
"Is it delicious?" Tang Bai lay on the table, his amber eyes full of anticipation. Under such a gaze, even the devilish cuisine Xie Ruheng could say it was delicious with a clear conscience, not to mention that it was originally the most delicious food.
"It's delicious." Xie Ruheng said seriously: "The food you cook is delicious."
Tang Bai was extremely happy when he heard this. He rolled up his sleeves and happily served abalone, sea cucumber and deer tendon to Xie Ruheng. While busy serving the dishes, he said, "Eat more! You are just too thin!"
Xie Ruheng: “…?”
He had a moment of doubt about his body, which looked thin when dressed but muscular when undressed. Could it be that Tang Bai liked the particularly strong and muscular A-shaped body?
Under Tang Bai's eager gaze, Xie Ruheng picked up the abalone with a slightly confused look.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. There are still a lot of things to eat. Eat slowly~" Tang Bai remembered that Xie Ruheng's stomach problems were partly caused by Xie Ruheng eating too fast, and said earnestly: "Chew slowly and thoroughly to stay healthy!"
Xie Ruheng slowed down upon hearing this. The abalone was cooked until it was soft and very runny. The middle part was sticky and tough, like jelly.
Then he saw the amber eyes once again revealing an extremely tender feeling, that tender look, as if the keeper was pleased to see the piglets grunting while eating.
Xie Ruheng: “…???”
Why did I come up with such a bad metaphor?
Xie Ruheng coughed and said, "You should come and eat something too."
Tang Bai shook her head, held her little face with both hands, looked at Xie Ruheng contentedly, and said softly, "I just watch you eat."
Those watery eyes were curved as if filled with honey, and contained an unreserved tenderness that could drown people, but there were more red bloodshot in the eyes, and a dark area under the eyes, and she looked a little more haggard than before.
"Didn't you get enough rest?" Xie Ruheng asked.
Tang Bai nervously took out a small mirror and looked at himself. "Sure enough, eye creams and the like are all lies. Dark circles are still there as they should be."
Seeing Xie Ruheng staring at him, Tang Bai explained, "It's rather troublesome to make this dish according to the ancient recipe. You need to change the charcoal and lotus leaves every two or three hours. I'm a light sleeper, so I can't fall asleep once I wake up."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Xie Ruheng didn't move his chopsticks, so he hurriedly urged him, "Why don't you eat? It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Feng's eyes moved slightly, "...next time, don't make such a troublesome dish."
"I also want to challenge myself. You can get full marks in the final exam of the cooking class if you cook difficult dishes." Tang Bai paused and said seriously: "And I like to cook delicious food for you."
Food is something that can easily bring happiness. Tang Bai hopes to give Xie Ruheng as much happiness as he can.
Looking at those genuine and clear amber eyes, Xie Ruheng's heart was filled with endless indescribable emotions. He was not used to such warmth, so he lowered his head and took a bite of the sea cucumber. The sea cucumber had a springy texture, was softer than abalone, and had a stronger aroma. Even though Xie Ruheng didn't know much about this kind of precious ingredient, he knew that this sea cucumber was definitely not of the same grade as the ones he had eaten before.
And the one who carefully processed these ingredients was not someone else, but his dream lover. Thinking of this, the unnamed emotion in his heart surged even more...
While Xie Ruheng was eating, Tang Bai flipped through the magical book in his mind to check the content of the etiquette test.
The first question is a basic question, which tests the etiquette between AA. The etiquette between AA can be divided into etiquette for younger generations, peers, elders, and superiors according to the age and status of the parties.
It is not difficult and can be considered an easy-to-answer question. Xie Ruheng in the novel did not lose any points.
The second question was a situational question, which examined dinner etiquette. In the book, Xie Ruheng repeatedly lost points here, and continued to lose points. It was not because Xie Ruheng did not work hard, but because there were too many red tapes. For example, you cannot have seven dishes on the table. This is cold knowledge that the teacher would not mention in class, so it is easy to lose points.
Time is limited today, so Tang Bai decided to talk to Xie Ruheng about these two questions. After Xie Ruheng finished eating, Tang Bai asked sweetly, "Brother Xie, let's learn the greetings first. Do you know the greetings between alphas?"
"In a handshake, the stronger one extends his hand first. The stronger one is the elder, the superior, or the stronger one among the same generation," Xie Ruheng replied.
Tang Bai nodded approvingly, "Come, I'll play the role of your alpha elder, and we'll practice."
"The key point to remember is that the handshake should not last more than three seconds, and you should bow slightly when shaking hands to show respect."
Tang Bai stretched out his right hand, and after a second, his hand was held by Xie Ruheng. Xie Ruheng's hand was a circle bigger than his, which made Tang Bai sigh: "It's so difficult to play the role of an alpha. It turns out that pretending to be an alpha also requires superior innate conditions. Brother Xie, you really have the spirit of an alpha."
Xie Ruheng: I didn’t expect that shaking hands could also show my alpha charm.
Tang Bai: I praised him for being so good at pretending to be cool, he must feel very accomplished~
Xie Ruheng, who was burdened with the image of a male god, gracefully withdrew his hand and waited for Tang Bai to explain the next step. Unexpectedly, Tang Bai asked excitedly: "Brother Xie, do you want to learn the greeting etiquette between men and women~"
Xie Ruheng: “…?”
Seeing that Xie Ruheng didn't say anything, Tang Bai just assumed that Xie Ruheng agreed. The etiquette test range of the military academy is AA and AO, which is not very practical for Xie Ruheng as an omega. After Xie Ruheng's true gender is exposed, he can't continue to use the etiquette of an alpha.
"The greetings between omegas are much more intimate and warm than those between alphas." Tang Bai said as he took a step closer. The social distance between them changed from fifty centimeters between alphas to ten centimeters between omegas.
It was so close, so close that Xie Ruheng held his breath.
"We will use the kissing ceremony, where the faces are pressed together." Tang Bai raised his head and muttered softly, "But you are too tall."
How can there be such a high omega?
Tang Bai stood on tiptoe and embraced Xie Ruheng's neck. At that moment, her eyes widened slightly, her slender neck tensed, and her Adam's apple rolling up and down was particularly sexy.
"The better the relationship between omegas, the closer their faces are to each other." Tang Bai placed his cheek against Xie Ruheng's cheek affectionately. When their skin touched, he felt the cold skin suddenly warm up.
I'm shy~
Omega Light is so cute!
Tang Bai narrowed his eyes, rubbed Xie Ruheng's hot cheeks like a cat, and said softly: "The last step is a gentle kiss."
"Bo~"
Xie Ruheng: “!!!”
The hot air sprayed on Xie Ruheng's earlobe, causing his already stopped functioning brain to completely freeze!
Seeing Xie Ruheng not moving, Tang Bai pointed at his lips and said, "You don't have to kiss him for real. Just make a popping sound into the air."
He demonstrated it again responsibly. His light pink lips looked as if they were coated with a layer of transparent syrup, and they were extremely sweet when he made a kissing gesture.
Xie Ruheng's temples were throbbing violently. He didn't feel such uncontrollable tremors in his heart when he killed someone for the first time. "You... do you know what you are doing?"
Such a tease for an adult alpha...
Tang Bai uttered a moist, doubtful "hmm" that seemed to come out of his nose. He softly wrapped his arms around Xie Ruheng's neck and looked at him with his clear, innocent light-colored eyes, so innocent that it made one's teeth itch.
There was a moment when Xie Ruheng really wanted to kiss her regardless and teach this little omega who always said he was not good enough and teased him a lesson.
But it doesn't work.
That amazing self-control was stubbornly stopping Xie Ruheng.
"Tang Bai," Xie Ruheng took a deep breath, narrowed his narrow eyes dangerously, and asked word by word: "What is the relationship between us?"
