Chapter 49

Facing the overwhelming energy bombs, Tang Bai saw the alpha rolling on the ground without hesitation, then suddenly leaping up, and his slender figure spun in the air to avoid the second wave of energy bombs!

That series of beautiful and clean moves almost made Tang Bai unable to help but cheer for the other party!

Tang Bai stuck to the corner, holding the diamond-studded energy gun vigilantly, aiming at the chest of the child who was constantly tilting his firepower. He bit his lip, slightly shifted his wrist, and accurately hit the opponent's arm holding the gun.

The child dropped the gun in pain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Ruheng leaped in front of the short opponent and struck him directly at the back of the head.

Everything in front of him was too much to watch. Tang Bai found that the opponent completed a series of operations including rolling, standing up, sprinting, leaping, and hand knife in less than three seconds.

Even though Tang Bai had seen many excellent alphas, this alpha's skills were definitely among the top three among those he knew!

Xie Ruheng tied up the attacker and turned around to see Tang Bai curled up into a small ball, squatting in the corner of the wall, holding the energy gun obediently and looking at him. His wide-open amber eyes seemed to contain a weak and helpless soul.

Xie Ruheng's fingers twitched nervously. He was obviously angry with this man, angry at his indecision and at his failure to protect himself. However, when he looked into his eyes, all he felt was heartache.

His most tender kindness was taken advantage of by others. This must have been a huge blow to Tang Bai.

Xie Ruheng, who originally wanted to leave, struggled for a while, but still couldn't help but go to help Tang Bai clean up the mess.

Tang Bai saw the black-haired and black-eyed alpha walking towards him. His black eyes were filled with unclear emotions, cold and restrained yet hot, as if he was suppressing something, making it hard to understand.

What’s even more special is that Tang Bai felt a sense of familiarity with this alpha from the very first sight.

Is it because of the suspension bridge effect?

After staring at Tang Bai's absent-minded face for a while, Xie Ruheng sighed in his heart and reached out his hand to Tang Bai: "Can you stand up?"

Afraid that Tang Bai would recognize his voice, Xie Ruheng lowered his voice to a very low pitch, making it full of magnetism, like tiny hot particles grinding against the auditory nerves.

My ears are about to melt!

Tang Bai inexplicably thought of the words "Don't move" that the alpha had just whispered to him. He blushed and said, "Of course I can."

The soft little omega stood against the wall, not daring to look him in the eye. Her amber eyes blinked and she said, "...Hello, my name is Tang Bai, thank you for saving me."

"Xiao Cheng." Xie Ruheng picked a name casually. Xiao was his mother's surname.

"Xiao Cheng, thank you for saving me. I don't know how to repay you. How about this, we add each other first?" Tang Bai stretched out his hand wearing the optical computer ring to Xie Ruheng.

Xie Ruheng was stunned.

When he and Tang Bai first met, Tang Bai seemed to have used the sweetest eyes and the most coquettish voice to ask for contact information, and even the words used to communicate were almost the same...

Yes, this is the familiar recipe, this is the familiar tea aroma!

At this moment, it was as if billions of green teas flowed through Xie Ruheng's mind, gathering into a green ocean that drowned him, and then... Xie Ruheng stared with dead fish eyes and replied coldly: "No."

It is impossible to give out the contact information. Tang Bai has been added to both the main and small accounts. If I give it out, it will be exposed.

Tang Bai, who had not expected to be rejected, was stunned. His hands froze in mid-air, and even his alopecia drooped down listlessly.

In fact, it is understandable. People in the slums are very defensive, and it is normal for Xiao Cheng not to want to have too much contact with strangers.

Xie Ruheng didn't want to see Tang Bai's lost expression, so he lowered his head and called a floating vehicle, preparing to take the attacker to the police station.

After Tang Bai comforted himself, he pursed his lips and forced a smile again. A shallow dimple appeared on his soft cheek, and he looked so cute that people wanted to pinch him. "Did you just call a taxi?"

"Yeah." Xie Ruheng's fingertips moved, but he finally resisted the urge to poke Tang Baisai's gang.

While waiting for the suspension vehicle to arrive, neither of them spoke. Xie Ruheng's sharp senses allowed him to notice that Tang Bai had been secretly observing him.

This little fool wasn't very good at stealing glances, and he would cast nervous glances at her from time to time, causing Xie Ruheng to tense up as well.

The alpha in front of him didn't look stunning, but he had good bone structure, a high nose bridge, and a clean jawline. He had a good-looking appearance. However, Tang Bai didn't peek at him frequently because he was infatuated with him. He just felt that the person in front of him looked familiar.

Although it sounds a bit cliché to say this, he seemed to have seen this person somewhere.

Xie Ruheng: “…”

Keep looking, keep looking. If you have time to look at the faces of passers-by you meet, why don’t you have time to chat with your brother Xie!

Xie Ruheng turned his head sternly and met Tang Bai's eyes as he peeped.

Tang Bai: “!”

After being caught, Tang Bai felt guilty for a moment, and his face turned red, like a ripe custard bun, steaming with heat.

Xie Ruheng's cold and ruthless expression melted instantly, and he said coldly: "You are an omega coming to the slums, why don't you bring a bodyguard?" Why don't you ask me to come to the slums with you!

Tang Bai quickly took out his diamond energy gun and said, "I have a weapon to defend myself." If the attacker was not a child, Tang Bai would have been able to take preemptive action the moment he became suspicious.

The next second, Tang Bai's energy gun was snatched away by Xie Ruheng with one hand. The alpha in front of him was as fast as a ghost, and his slender arms locked his neck, as if the devil was holding him in his arms, completely controlling him and unable to escape.

Tang Bai felt the chill and ruthlessness in the opponent's blood from the pressure on his body. The dangerous feeling of the tip of the knife licking blood made Tang Bai's bones tremble.

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against Tang Bai's temple, and the alpha's thin lips brushed Tang Bai's earlobe. A hoarse voice sounded coldly in Tang Bai's ear: "If you encounter bad guys, these weapons will not be able to work in time."

Tang Bai couldn't tell whether his violently beating heart was due to instinctive fear or the dopamine secretion. His eyes were moist and he raised his head slightly uncomfortably, and his long neck trembled like a dying swan.

Xie Ruheng's heart suddenly warmed up when he saw the scene in front of him.

Tang Bai looked blank and asked softly, "Are all bad guys as powerful as you?"

Bad guys, like you, are awesome.

Xie Ruheng: “!!!” You still don’t forget to flirt with me at this time? !

With the warm and soft beauty in his arms, Xie Ruheng took a deep breath and resolutely avoided the other party.

Tang Bai felt his body go a little soft after being abruptly released by Xie Ruheng. He was a little embarrassed and kept a distance from Xie Ruheng.

Xie Ruheng found that the little omega in front of him exuded a seductive aura in every move and moist eyes. When he looked into Tang Bai's eyes, Tang Bai quickly lowered his eyelids. This was a shyness that Tang Bai had never experienced before, even during their intimate contact during etiquette teaching.

Yes! Shy!!!

Xie Ruheng's hands still retained the touch of Tang Bai's smooth and delicate skin, but the fire burning in his heart was immediately extinguished by the refreshing lemon tea——

No, you, kiss me, and I’ve never been shy!

Tang Bai didn't know Xie Ruheng's sour thoughts. After dealing with the discomfort of close contact with a strange alpha, he handed over the diamond-studded energy gun with both hands and said softly, "I can't think of how to repay you right now. This is the 'Commander' series energy gun. I think this gun can only exert its power in your hands."

Xie Ruheng: “…”

He always felt that this scene was familiar...

Oh, it turns out that Tang Bai in his memory had also timidly expressed his wish to give the commander position to him...

So, do you give this gun to every Alpha you meet? ! ! !

Xie Ruheng was almost going crazy with jealousy, he even wanted to pick up this little green tea girl and shake her to see how many tricks he could get out of her!

Xie Ruheng tried his best to keep his expression calm and said, "You gave me the gun, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

"You don't look like a bad person." Tang Bai blurted out. He felt very safe being with this alpha. He felt that the other party would not really hurt him.

Xie Ruheng: “…”

Xie Ruheng finally couldn't help it. He pointed at the attacker who was tied up by him and said in a deep voice: "He looks like a bad guy?"

No one knew how terrified Xie Ruheng was when he saw Tang Bai being targeted by the killer with an energy gun. It was as if his heart had jumped out of his throat in an instant, and his mind was left blank.

The finger pointing at the attacker twitched slightly, and as if to cover up this loss of composure, it clenched into a fist and hung at the side of his leg. Xie Ruheng pursed his lips tightly, and when he spoke again, his voice was extremely hoarse: "If you are too naive, you can't even protect yourself."

Tang Bai pursed his lips and felt that what Xiao Cheng said made a lot of sense. Xie Ruheng had accompanied him to the slums every time before, and it was Xie Ruheng who shielded him from the dark side of the slums, but he really thought it was safe here.

With ten slender white fingers intertwined together and red eyes slightly drooped, Tang Bai looked like a child who had done something wrong and was being reprimanded.

Xie Ruheng: “…”

Did I yell at him too loudly...

Seeing Tang Bai looking at him pitifully with wet eyes, Xie Ruheng was overwhelmed by pity and self-blame bit by bit.

I shouldn't have been so mean to him.

Xie Ruheng thought in annoyance.

It was obviously my fault that I failed to protect him.

Xie Ruheng was extremely depressed.

He was already scared just now, and I actually attacked him.

Xie Ruheng was heartbroken.

The lips that were pursed into a straight line opened, "...but being naive isn't a bad thing."

Tang Bai, who was waiting to continue the training, asked: "?"

Tang Bai was stunned to find that the alpha in front of him, who was as dangerous as a lone wolf, suddenly turned into a frustrated big dog.

Ah this......

Is this what it means to have a sharp tongue but a soft heart?

Tang Bai took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to the other party carefully, "Want some candy?"

Xie Ruheng: “…”

After Xie Ruheng took the candy, Tang Bai touched his nose and said softly: "Thank you for what you said to me. I have learned my lesson this time. I will pay more attention to safety in the future~" After saying that, he showed a full of energy smile.

Xie Ruheng was instantly healed by this smile: "......Yeah."

The suspended car stopped by the roadside and they got in. No one spoke along the way. Tang Bai thought about what he could do to repay "Xiao Cheng". He would not want the commander if he gave him the gift, but giving him money directly would be too vulgar.

Tang Bai searched the Star Network anxiously, and after seeing something about pledge of one's body, he closed the search engine with a gloomy face, and looked out the window with a confused mind.

He saw Xiao Cheng's profile through the car window. This alpha had a very aloof temperament, and in the blurred colors of the scenery, he seemed even more far away from all the hustle and bustle of the world.

Tang Bai saw through the reflection on the glass that this alpha suddenly turned his head slowly to look at him, and his endlessly suppressed black eyes revealed a momentary loss of emotion.

It was a gentle look that he himself had not noticed.

When Tang Bai blinked and looked again, the alpha turned his head back.

Maybe he was dazzled just now.

Tang Bai did not dwell on this little episode too much. Soon the suspended vehicle took them to the police station, where they gave statements one by one. When the police told Tang Bai that the attacker had Highlander syndrome and was not a real child but a developmentally delayed adult, the thorn in Tang Bai's heart was finally removed.

Although the traces left behind are difficult to remove for a while, it is finally not as painful as before.

"Mr. Tang, you can leave now. We will do our best to investigate this case."

Tang Bai glanced at the hall, "Has my companion not come out yet?"

"Mr. Xiao has already left early."

"Did he leave any contact information?"

"No, are you worried about your safety going back alone? We have already contacted Mr. Bai Zhi for you..."

Tang Bai stood in the police station in a daze, and his heart suddenly felt a little empty.

He...he hasn't thanked Mr. Xiao properly yet...

Bai Zhi, who came to pick up Tang Bai, saw Tang Bai's lost look and thought that Tang Bai was frightened by the attack. He comforted Tang Bai and said, "Take a bath immediately after returning home, drink a cup of hot milk, and have a good sleep to forget all the bad emotions."

Tang Bai nodded obediently, thanked Bai Zhi, went home and followed Bai Zhi's instructions to take a shower in the bathroom. However, when he took off his clothes, Tang Bai suddenly found that there was a talisman stuck on the magic silver necklace he was wearing.

There seemed to be a small bead inside the talisman, and the bead and the magic silver were stuck together as if by some invisible stickiness.

Tang Bai did not open the talisman to see what was inside. After all, talismans cannot be opened casually, and this talisman is most likely Xiao Cheng's. He probably got it from physical contact with Xiao Cheng today.

This talisman looks very old and its color has faded, but Xiao Cheng still wears it. It must be a very important thing. But how can he return this talisman to Xiao Cheng?

Tang Bai thought about it and logged into the Star Network account. It happened that the last time he chatted was with X, and X's account was at the front of the list, so Tang Bai clicked in and asked X: "Is there a lost and found place in the slums?"

X immediately replied: "What did you pick up?"

Tang Bai: "I found a talisman in the slums today. Although it is not a valuable item, I think it must be very important to the owner, so I want to return it as soon as possible."

After a while, X: "Yes, it is very important to me."

Tang Bai: "Yeah."

Tang Bai: “Huh?!?!?!”

I saw a very funny comment: "Once upon a time there was a beautiful woman named Tangtang. Tangtang had many tea trees planted in her tea garden. Tangtang watered them diligently every day. In the end, she found that the roots of all the tea trees were linked together... It was the same tree. Tangtang cried with joy." by Mu Zi
