Chapter 52

Tang Bai carefully placed his face against Xie Ruheng's strong and powerful back. He could smell the refreshing scent on this alpha. He didn't know how to describe it, but it easily made people think of all the beautiful things in summer.

Steaming roadside stalls, brilliant fireworks displays, and lively square dancing.

He thought he should like these.

Since you like it, why not hug it?

Tang Bai thought righteously with a red face.

After hugging for a while, Tang Bai looked at the surrounding buildings and realized that they were almost at the school. Hmm? The person standing at the school gate checking attendance seemed to be Director Huang.

The roar of the motorcycle stopped abruptly, and Tang Bai, with a red face, met the gaze of Director Huang, who was dumbfounded.

"This, this, this..." Director Huang looked at the strange alpha that Tang Bai was hugging in disbelief. With his experience of reading countless people, he only took 0.01 seconds to analyze the alpha's physique and aura and concluded that this was another high-quality alpha!

Too strong, too strong. If the school does not hire Tang Bai as an honorary lecturer in the future, it will be a huge loss to let Tang Bai specialize in analyzing the art of picking up girls!

"Ah, my teacher is checking attendance at the school gate." Tang Bai lowered his voice and whispered, "I have to run away quickly, otherwise he will give me a long lecture if I get caught."

Without even having time to say goodbye to Xiao Cheng, Tang Bai got out of the car swiftly and rushed into the campus, passing Director Huang.

Like a rebellious bad student.

Tang Bai successfully shook off Director Huang. He walked around the campus in a hopping manner, without the elegance and steadiness that a noble little omega should have. But what did it matter?

Xie Ruheng returned the antique motorcycle to the owner of a suspended vehicle repair shop in the slums. He set his suspended vehicle to automatic driving mode, lay in the driver's seat, and looked at the starry sky behind the convertible top.

It turns out that when you really like someone, there will be stars in your eyes even if you avoid looking at them.

But why does Tang Bai like "Xiao Cheng"?

Xiao Cheng is plain-looking, of humble origin, and vulgar and boring. Was it because of Xiao Cheng's identity that saved Tang Bai?

Xie Ruheng was rarely confused.

He originally wanted to take back the lucky charm and threw it away...

Um?

Xie Ruheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he did not get the lucky charm back.

Now I don’t have to worry about whether to throw away the vest or not, after all, I will have to meet you again wearing the vest next time.

Xie Ruheng laughed dumbly.

He opened the chat interface with Tang Bai and sent a message: "My lucky charm is still with you. I forgot to take it over."

No romance, just career: "!!! I had so much fun today that I forgot about this!"

Tang Bai took the talisman out of her bag and smacked it with delight. It turned out that this talisman was a lucky charm. It felt like it could really bring good luck to people!

This way he can get back to his career in a natural way!

No romance, just career: "Mr. Bai Zhi will go to the slums to distribute inhibitors tomorrow afternoon. I want to go too. How about we meet in the slums? I'll give you the lucky charm then~"

Bai Zhi's new proposal advocated lowering the price of inhibitors and canceling the policy of limiting the purchase of inhibitors. After announcing the proposal, Bai Zhi bought a batch of inhibitors at a high price and prepared to go to the slums to distribute these inhibitors for free to those in need.

In order to prevent poor people from getting inhibitors and then reselling them at high prices, Bai Zhi temporarily built injection points, where he provided free injections to omegas who were about to enter estrus.

Tang Bai also used his own small treasury to buy a batch, and he decided to go to the slums with Bai Zhi to distribute inhibitors.

Career: "You must be careful in the slums and it is best not to leave the main force at all times."

No romance, just career: "I'm not afraid with you around!"

Xie Ruheng: “???” Didn’t I just take a talisman and leave? Why do I feel like I’ve been tricked again?

No romance, just career: "Let's not talk about tomorrow. I'll show you the update I wrote, which is about the villain who is addicted to plagiarism that we mentioned last time."

Don't fall in love, just work on your career: "[Document] Chapter 13.docx"

Xie Ruheng opened the document and began to browse.

The villain Yan Chao and Jun Tongchen are desk mates, and he often plagiarizes Jun Tongchen's ideas. He skillfully stole one of the core highlights of Jun Tongchen's design drawings, so that even if he was reported, he could whitewash it by saying it was a coincidence.

Because of his noble status, his plagiarized works could have better exposure channels and ways to participate in competitions. He soon marketed the persona of a mecha manufacturing genius, which would help him compete for the top spot in the mechanical department.

When preparing for the chief examination, Yan Chao saw a design drawing of Jun Tongchen. He liked it very much, but in fact, that drawing was specially designed by Jun Tongchen. The drawing looked good but actually had a fatal flaw, which was difficult for ordinary people to find.

Yan Chao copied it directly without noticing this weakness, and as a result, he was easily defeated by Jun Tongchen during the competition by taking advantage of this weakness.

Xie Ruheng mentioned some techniques in mecha combat, and after his patient modifications, the plot of the mecha evaluation in "Chief" became much more exciting.

No romance, just career: "!!! Ahhhh you are so awesome! [啾.jpg]"

Tang Bai was originally going to send an emoji of a peacock spreading its feathers, but that emoji was too silly, so he carefully selected an emoji of a cute bunny chirping.

After sending it, Tang Bai happily held his face and looked at the reply on the screen.

Xie Ruheng: “….” Then all he could think about was Tang Bai eating the rabbit.

Career: "[啾.jpg]"

"Ah!" Tang Bai covered his face and kicked his legs crazily in the quilt. Under Tong Meng's shocked gaze, Tang Bai smiled like a little fool. He replied to Xiao Cheng seriously: "Go to bed early, good night~"

Only after Xiao Cheng said good night did Tang Bai reluctantly put down his computer.

"Tangtang, are you in love?!" Tong Meng quickly climbed onto Tang Bai's bed, grabbed Tang Bai's shoulders and shook him hard: "Are you with the alpha from last time? Yes! No! Yes!"

Tang Bai closed his eyes, tilted his head, and stuck out half of his tongue to pretend to be dead.

Tong Meng cried: "Don't think you can get away with it by being cute!"

Tang Bai opened his eyes helplessly, raised a finger, made a silent gesture, frowned and said fiercely: "It's still in the probation period."

Tong Meng: “!!!”

Tong Meng: "Holding hands?!"

Tang Bai rubbed her hands together and hummed in a noble and cold manner.

Tong Meng: “!!!”

Tong Meng was like an old father who saw his cabbage being pushed around, and asked angrily, "You didn't hug me!"

Tang Bai stiffened his neck and snorted, "He didn't hug me." I hugged him!

Tong Meng was relieved. "We omegas need to be reserved. We can't let those stinky alphas take advantage of us too early. If we have them too easily, we won't cherish them. By the way, what's his name? What does he look like? Is he good to you..."

"I won't tell you my name yet, but you're very handsome and very nice to me. Okay, you little loudspeaker can shut up now!" Tang Bai groaned as he crawled into the quilt.

He also wanted to treat Xiao Cheng as his hidden love.

I feel secretly happy when I think of Xiao Cheng.

"Tang Bai, the police haven't found out the mastermind behind the last attacker. The other party was hired anonymously, so it's hard to find out. I suspect that group of people might have been sent by conservatives. I'm sorry." Bai Zhi said apologetically.

Conservatives have always believed that omegas have too much rights. For example, the death penalty for rape is too harsh. They believe that this society should implement a one-O, many-A system, and suggest that red-light districts be rationalized and married omegas be prohibited from buying inhibitors...

Bai Zhi's ideas are very different from those of the conservatives. He is the kind of omega that the conservatives despise. He usually has some conflicts with the conservatives. Bai Zhi feels guilty for dragging Tang Bai down last time.

Seeing Bai Zhi's frown, Tang Bai took out a candy from his pocket and asked, "Want some candy?"

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, the thin and long chain of the glasses cast a swaying shadow on his face.

"You don't need to take the blame for this. It was me who left the team without permission, which gave the attackers an opportunity to take advantage of me." Tang Bai said sincerely, "If you want to apologize, I should apologize to you."

"I'm sorry, sir, you have been carrying the burden for us for so many years." Tang Bai put the candy in Bai Zhi's palm and said softly: "When you feel very tired, eat a candy, you will feel better~"

His emerald green eyes were fixed on the candy in his palm. When Bai Zhi raised his eyes, he saw Tang Baichong smiling at him with two dimples.

After a long silence, the blond-haired, green-eyed congressman also smiled slowly.

Xie Ruheng stood outside the shed built at the injection site and saw Tang Bai helping to distribute inhibitors from a distance. The pretty little omega was easier to talk to than the others. He always had a warm smile on his face, and his amber eyes looked like flowing honey syrup in the sunlight.

He would give a piece of candy to every omega who came to get an inhibitor injection. A very young child came over in the arms of his mother and asked him for an extra piece of candy.

Xie Ruheng took out the candy that Tang Bai had given him last time from his pocket, opened it and put it in his mouth.

He suddenly felt very calm, as if he was back in his childhood, when he could be happy all day just by finding a piece of melted maltose in the garbage mountain.

"The effect of the inhibitor can last for a month. Don't take a shower on the day you inject the inhibitor during the estrus period..." After Tang Bai explained the precautions to an omega, he looked up and saw Xiao Cheng standing not far away waiting for him.

Tang Bai talked to the people around him and ran to Xiao Cheng impatiently, "How long have you been standing here? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xie Ruheng said softly, "Not long."

Tang Bai shyly took out the lucky charm from his bag and said, "Here you go. I didn't forget this time."

Xie Ruheng accepted the lucky charm. He had accomplished the purpose of his trip and should have turned around and left. However, under Tang Bai's bright gaze, his farewell words turned into "Would you like to go for a walk together?"

"Okay!" Tang Bai had been waiting for this sentence. He raised the hand holding the umbrella, trying not to touch Xie Ruheng's head. The next moment, the umbrella handle was taken over by a strong hand.

Tang Bai secretly glanced at the alpha next to him. He was holding an umbrella in one hand and had the other hand in his pocket. He was wearing a plaid shirt today, looking a little more bookish than yesterday.

They were very close.

The closest distance is three centimeters.

"Have you ever been to an underground arena?" A deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang beside his ear. Tang Bai exclaimed, turned his head quickly, and pretended to be looking at the scenery on the roadside, "No."

Xie Ruheng nodded.

In fact, when Tang Bai didn't recognize the human/skin mask, he guessed that Tang Bai had never been to the underground arena or watched a rat competition.

Yesterday, when Tang Bai asked him about the plot of the novel, he used a classic battle of Rat as an example in order to explain to Tang Bai how to write a mecha competition. Although he did not mention Rat's code name, fans who know a little about Rat's competition should be able to recognize who the mecha pilot is.

But Tang Bai didn't.

"Do you want to go to the underground arena to watch the game?" Xie Ruheng asked.

Tang Bai nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

The amber eyes were full of anticipation, a curiosity about the unknown, but the underground arena was not a harmless place like an amusement park.

Xie Ruheng took Tang Bai to a clothing store and said, "Audience members need to wear masks to enter. You can choose the mask you like."

Tang Bai chose a white feather mask and also picked a matching black feather mask for Xie Ruheng. Seeing that Xie Ruheng had no objection, he put on the mask in front of the mirror.

After putting on the mask, Xie Ruheng and he walked to the fitting room and opened the door. There was another well-disguised door in the fitting room. After opening that door, Tang Bai saw the dark elevator.

He followed Xie Ruheng into the elevator and heard Xie Ruheng say to him: "You are not allowed to take photos or videos after entering. It is noon now. There is no mecha competition, only ordinary fighting competition. We have to choose who will win before entering. The seats are related to the players we choose..."

"drop."

The tightly closed door opened automatically, and a building resembling an ancient Roman arena appeared in front of Tang Bai. There were three or four rows of masked men and women sitting in the audience seats. No contestants had yet entered the arena, and the huge space seemed a little deserted.

"There are fewer people at noon, and the evening is the busiest."

Tang Bai couldn't tell the strength of his opponent, so he asked Xie Ruheng to choose. Xie Ruheng only took a glance and chose a player named "Blood Wolf".

They sat in the audience seats, and waiters came to sell drinks. Tang Bai was not a good drinker, so he waved his hands to indicate that the atmosphere was so quiet before the show started that it could be described as tranquil.

"Dear audience, welcome to the noon session. Our players are ready. Next, we invite the 10-game winning streak 'Eagle' and the newcomer 'Blood Wolf' to take the stage!" A beta commentator said passionately: "Will 'Eagle' create an 11-game winning streak and defend his first stage, or will our newcomer 'Blood Wolf' win the first battle? Let's wait and see!"

There was sparse applause from the audience. In the lukewarm atmosphere, Tang Bai saw the two players coming out. Both of them were lean. Eagle had a blind eye, and Blood Wolf was very young, looking about seventeen or eighteen years old.

There was no greeting, they started fighting as soon as they got on the stage, punching each other real hard, without any competition etiquette, and using many dirty fighting styles.

Soon someone saw blood.

It was not until this moment that sounds of admiration were heard from the audience. Their interest was aroused by the bright red color, and some people shouted "Kill him!"

Tang Bai frowned and turned his face away, not wanting to look anymore.

"What's wrong?" The dark eyes under the black mask looked at him quietly.

Tang Bai pursed his lips and said sullenly, "It's a bit cruel... What do you think is the meaning of this kind of competition?"

"Meaning?"

Xie Ruheng said softly: "For the audience, it should be for entertainment."

Tang Bai's brows furrowed even more tightly. "Do you think this kind of competition would be fun?"

"I?"

"I usually stand on the stage to entertain people." Xie Ruheng's voice seemed particularly cold amid the increasingly excited shouts of the audience. He calmly said as if he was telling a story about someone else: "For the contestants, the meaning of the existence of the underground arena should be survival."

"To survive, for the one in ten thousand chance that I can survive better."

"Becoming a star in the underground arena may be the only way for a kid from the ghetto to succeed," he said. "You know Rat? Rat got accepted into the federal military academy because of the underground arena."

"Without this path, he would have been a stinking rat hiding in the gutter all his life."

Then his hand was tightly held and a piece of candy was stuffed into his palm.

He heard Tang Bai say seriously: "But I don't think so. I know Rat. He is my idol. If it is him, no matter which path he takes, he will be able to gain great glory."

Xie Ruheng turned his head and looked at the pair of bright amber eyes under the white mask. The owner of the white mask said softly: "There is one thing I have never told anyone. He is my light."
