Chapter 71

Tang Bai lay in the quilt, unable to sleep.

He knew that this was a normal reaction of an omega who was marked for the first time. He could not help but feel dependent on the alpha who marked him. The higher the level of the alpha, the stronger this dependence would be.

Longing to be hugged, touched, kissed...

This strong desire and emptiness wrapped around him layer by layer. Tang Bai turned on his laptop and hesitated for a long time before sending a message to Xiao Cheng: "Are you asleep?"

Career: "No, what's wrong?"

Don't talk about love, just focus on career: "Brother, I can't sleep."

Xie Ruheng was so sleepy after being called "brother" that he was awakened. He was originally lying on the bed, but he sat up energetically and asked in a voice so gentle that it could drip water: "Why can't you sleep? Are you scared?"

Qiu Yan, who was playing games, looked up in horror when he heard this, with a look as if he had seen a ghost.

Brother Xie, what's wrong with you? Brother Xie, are you possessed?

Tang Bai's hands and feet were soft, and he hugged the pillow and said coquettishly: "I'm not scared, I just miss you."

Xie Ruheng was instantly touched by the unreserved words "I miss you", and a silly smile unique to people in love appeared on his face unconsciously.

Tang Bai buried his face in the pillow embarrassedly. He smelled a very faint and indescribable pheromone scent on the pillow.

Tang Bai's original pheromone smelled like toffee. During the period when the temporary mark had not expired, his pheromone would change slightly according to the alpha's pheromone.

The elegant tea aroma neutralized the overly sweet milk aroma, finding a perfect balance between the cool and subtle fragrance and the sweet and soft taste. Thinking that this was the change that Xiao Cheng brought to his body, the tips of Tang Bai's ears turned red.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?" Xie Ruheng specifically looked up some information and learned that omegas injected with aphrodisiacs would cause some harm to their bodies, manifesting as drowsiness and distraction, so he did not send a message to Tang Bai for fear of disturbing Tang Bai's rest.

Smelling the scent left by Xie Ruheng and listening to Xie Ruheng's voice, Tang Bai was like a cat whose fur had been stroked. "I don't feel uncomfortable hearing you talking. Brother, can you tell me a bedtime story?" He rubbed the pillow and exercised his boyfriend rights with a red face.

At this time, even if Tang Bai wanted to pick the stars, Xie Ruheng, who was overwhelmed by love, would also go find a ladder to try to pick the stars. He said softly, "Okay."

After saying this, Xie Ruheng got out of bed with a nimble body, picked up a book from the desk, and under the dull gaze of his roommate, Xie Ruheng moved a chair to the balcony and closed the balcony door with a swish.

Sitting on the balcony, one could hear the obvious sound of cicadas chirping. Xie Ruheng was afraid of disturbing Tang Bai, so he specifically asked, "Will the noise here disturb you?"

Tang Bai closed his eyes. He could hear the faint sound of cicadas, which was as loud and gentle as the sunshine in midsummer. "No."

Xie Ruheng felt relieved. He looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky. He had looked up at the starry sky countless times before, and often felt the vastness of the universe and his own insignificance. But this time, he experienced an unprecedented tranquility.

Xie Ruheng opened the book, turned to the page with the rose petals, and read softly: "The stars shine so that everyone can find their own star one day..."

the next day.

"Have you heard? Tang Bai seems to have been marked by a low-level alpha."

"It wasn't a mark, I heard they went straight to bed. It was said that Tang Bai accidentally went into heat and caused an alpha to lose control."

"If he goes into heat in the military academy, more than one alpha will lose control..."

"It's safer for omegas to study at the Etiquette Academy."

......

Tang Bai walked into the gate of the Federal Military Academy with a refreshed mind. Walking among the alphas, Tang Bai realized that the people around him looked at him differently.

With strange looks and a little resistance, this kind of novel experience was the first time for Tang Bai, and he walked into the classroom a little confused.

At this moment, the classroom was already full of people. When Tang Bai entered the classroom, almost all the alphas frowned, because Tang Bai had a pheromone that was extremely arrogant and overbearing to alphas.

In alpha social etiquette, alphas normally do not release pheromones to each other because the pheromones of higher-level alphas have a suppressive effect on lower-level alphas.

There are only two situations in which an alpha will release his pheromones ostentatiously. One is to release pheromones uncontrollably during the susceptible period, and the other is to mark a beloved omega by covering the omega's body with his own pheromones, thus declaring his sovereignty to other alphas.

An alpha who was originally sitting around Tang Bai suddenly stood up and walked towards the last row in a wolf-like manner.

When the lower-level alpha smelled Xie Ruheng's pheromones, the psychological pressure was no less than that of a mouse seeing a cat. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and posted a clarification in the campus forum: "There are enough rumor posts saying that Tang Bai was taken advantage of by a low-level alpha. The smell on Tang Bai is very light. Although it is very light, you can still smell that Tang Bai was temporarily marked by a super strong alpha. If they had sex, the smell on Tang Bai would be stronger!"

Soon someone else followed up with a reply: "It should be Xie Ruheng. Aren't they just in love? Why make it sound like Tang Bai has encountered misfortune when it's something that both of you are willing to do?"

"Please don't imagine that Tang Bai is in heat and needs you to mark him. With the overbearing pheromones on Tang Bai's body, those rookies who want to mark him will fall to their knees if they get close and smell it."

Tang Bai didn't know that a huge criticism against him had collapsed so quietly. He ignored the strange reactions of the people around him and continued to concentrate on teaching.

During the physical education class, Tang Bai was assigned a weaker alpha opponent in the basic combat phase. It was during this battle that he experienced for the first time how great the suppressive effect of pheromones was.

The alpha kept wiping his sweat and circling around Tang Bai, not daring to come forward. At first, Tang Bai thought that the alpha was giving him preferential treatment because of his gender, but when Tang Bai started sweating, the alpha's face turned pale.

Those alphas who often couldn't help but give him wolf-like eyes were all frightened like dogs. Even Bai Li, who had always treated him as if his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, showed a solemn expression. Wherever Tang Bai walked, there was a small vacuum zone around him.

After realizing that this was the result of the pheromones left by Xiao Cheng, Tang Bai couldn't help but walk with his feet folded. He knocked on Cheng Wenhui's office door, and as soon as he entered, he saw that Cheng Wenhui's expression froze.

"Teacher Cheng, I'm here to bother you again!" Tang Bai sat down next to Cheng Wenhui.

The looming pressure of the top alpha hovered around Tang Bai, so cold that it almost froze the air.

Cheng Wenhui forced a smile. He was originally going to give Tang Bai a lecture, but the arrogant pressure resisted any alpha's approach, just like a man-eating python entwined around Cheng Wenhui's body, suppressing him so much that he couldn't breathe.

But the little omega who caused all this acted as if he had no idea at all. He lowered his head and focused on studying. His focused and attentive attitude made people feel like it would be a sin to disturb him.

Beads of sweat oozed from Cheng Wenhui's nose. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and every second felt like an age. He didn't know how much time had passed. When Tang Bai picked up the cup to drink water, Cheng Wenhui also drank from it to replenish his water.

"You learn quickly, so you don't have to worry too much about your professional course grades." Cheng Wenhui tried his best to look relaxed and happy. "How are you preparing for the rest of the chief exam? Are you confident?"

Tang Bai slowly put down the cup of water, and his upper lip was accidentally stained with a circle of milk stains. Cheng Wenhui realized that Tang Bai's thermos was filled with milk.

After he realized this, he suddenly realized that Tang Bai's slow and leisurely voice always had a harmless feeling of childishness. "Other things are fine, but I'm not very confident about the physical fitness test."

"The military academy's physical fitness test standards are unfair to you. The school should set up omega assessment standards specifically for you." Cheng Wenhui behaved like a teacher who was angry about the unfair treatment of his students.

The amber eyes curved slightly, and Tang Bai's tone was as soft as cotton candy: "It doesn't matter. I'm not going to get a high score in the physical fitness test. Just don't fall behind. And although I'm not good at running, I'm a very fast swimmer. I've been practicing in the school's swimming pool during this period. I believe I can swim faster during the competition."

"There are many alphas in the swimming pool. It's not safe for you to go there alone as an omega." Cheng Wenhui worriedly said.

"If it was a swimming pool outside the school, I might have such concerns, but everyone in the military academy is a very nice person." Tang Bai touched his head and smiled at Cheng Wenhui: "I have been in the school for so long, everyone takes good care of me, especially you, Teacher Cheng."

Cheng Wenhui smiled kindly upon hearing this: "You are the first omega student ever to study at a military academy. Of course I will take good care of you."

"Brother Xie, aren't I in love with Xiao Cheng? So I'm going to physical training with Xiao Cheng after school today! I know that you usually slow down your progress when you lead me in training. This time, with Xiao Cheng leading me, you don't have to slow down the pace for me~" Tang Bai sent a message to Xie Ruheng while waiting for Xiao Cheng.

Xie Ruheng was looking at his figure in the mirror with worry.

Tang Bai's previous remark that Xiao Cheng and Xie Ruheng had similar body shapes left Xie Ruheng with a psychological shadow. He was very afraid that when they met in the swimming pool this time, Tang Bai would compliment him on how the shape of his abdominal muscles, pectoral muscles and biceps were exactly the same as his large size.

Well...got it!

Soon, Xie Ruheng and Tang Bai, wearing human/skin masks, appeared in the swimming pool. In the changing room, Xie Ruheng first took out a one-piece swimsuit from his bag, and then he took out...

An artificial pectoralis major muscle.

The muscular alpha walked out of the changing room door in a black one-piece swimsuit and saw Tang Bai, who was also wearing a one-piece swimsuit because he was shy swimming with his sweetheart.

"Wow! These are couple swimsuits!" Tang Baigang exclaimed, and his eyes were attracted by Xie Ruheng's exceptionally toned muscles. The tight one-piece swimsuit perfectly outlined Xie Ruheng's figure.

His chest muscles are so big... Tang Bai blushed for some reason. He actually had no feelings for muscular men, but if it was Xiao Cheng, he could accept any body shape.

"Your little shark is cute." Xie Ruheng complimented the little shark pattern on Tang Bai's one-piece swimsuit. When Tang Bai shyly looked away, he touched his fake chest muscles with his hand without leaving any trace.

A little heavy.

Is this the trouble of female alphas?

Xie Ruheng thought expressionlessly.

The two fake pectoral muscles on his chest somewhat affected Xie Ruheng's swimming performance. He was afraid that too much force would cause the positions of the two pectoral muscles to become asymmetrical. For a moment, he was very glad that he did not stuff fake gluteal muscles into his buttocks.

Xie Ruheng, whose mind was filled with fake buttocks, was in a daze when he saw Tang Bai swimming very fast. The buttocks outlined by the tight swimming trunks were so elastic that they looked unreal.

Is it really that chewy?

Xie Ruheng, who judges others by his own standards, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tang Bai, who was swimming happily, felt a chill on his butt. He turned back blankly, but didn't see anything, so he jumped up happily again.

After swimming for a while, Tang Bai felt tired. He turned on his computer and found that the voting channel for the chief competition was open.

Every student in the federal military academy has the right to vote, but can only vote for students in their own major. The voting period is one week. Now is the first day that the voting channel is open, and not many people vote.

In the Mechanical Department, Mo Zheng, Bai Li, and Tang Bai have the highest number of votes, while in the Mecha Department, it is Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan who are the best. In other departments, there are basically two or three students whose votes are outstanding.

"No, I have to canvass votes for Brother Xie." Tang Bai blurted out when he saw the votes between Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan were tied.

Xie Ruheng was a little surprised that Tang Bai's first reaction was to canvass votes for him instead of considering himself.

"Brother, I have to go back and think about canvassing for votes first, so I can't train with you." Tang Bai said.

Xie Ruheng nodded, and he and Tang Bai changed their clothes and prepared to leave. Before parting, Tang Bai suddenly called Xie Ruheng. Under Xie Ruheng's puzzled gaze, Tang Bai stood on tiptoe, quickly kissed Xie Ruheng on the cheek, and ran away, leaving Xie Ruheng covering the place where he was kissed in a daze.

...It seems to be strawberry flavor?
