Chapter 83

Tang Bai stopped massaging, put his fingertips under his nose, and sniffed with a blank mind.

The light scent of grass and trees is the aroma of green tea, an aroma that brings instinctive pleasure to his body.

"Xiao Cheng?"

Xie Ruheng suddenly opened his eyes.

"You are... Xiao Cheng?" Tang Bai said in disbelief.

Everyone's pheromones are slightly different, just like green tea in real life, which has different flavors depending on the origin, variety and production method, and it is even more impossible for two people's pheromones to be exactly the same.

But how is this possible?

One is an alpha, the other is an omega, they have different genders, how can they be the same person?

Xie Ruheng opened his mouth, his eyes flashed with helplessness and guilt, and his originally relaxed body instantly straightened up, "I..."

"I didn't mean to hide this from you. I also triggered the time and space characteristics of the magic silver. The future me seemed to be suffering from a terminal illness and would not live long, so I..." Xie Ruheng couldn't help but show a lonely expression. He sat on the edge of the bed in a lost manner, like a large dog abandoned by his owner, looking at Tang Bai with self-blame and helplessness in his phoenix eyes.

"I'm sorry." Xie Ruheng admitted his mistake honestly.

The pair of nervous phoenix eyes stared at Tang Bai without blinking, and because of the sensitive period, the corners of the eyes were red as if they had been crying.

Xie Ruheng thought about many possibilities after he was exposed, such as Tang Bai feeling that he was deceived and blocking all the accounts at once.

For example, Tang Bai's admiration for the big trumpet and his love for the small trumpet added together produce an effect where the sum of the two is greater than the sum of the two.

Or maybe Tang Bai still prefers the small trumpet and is indifferent to the large trumpet, and cannot accept the reality...

But Xie Ruheng never thought that Tang Bai would ask with a trembling voice: "Aren't you an omega?"

Xie Ruheng: “???”

Xie Ruheng thought for a moment that he had misheard. He repeated with a puzzled look on his face: "I am an omega?"

How could he, Xie Ruheng, be an omega? !

Whether it's his appearance, voice, behavior or rumors, he doesn't show any sign of being an omega!

This shouldn't happen!

"Why do you think I'm an omega?" Xie Ruheng frowned and emphasized to Tang Bai: "I am a genuine alpha."

For a moment, Tang Bai thought Xie Ruheng was joking with him, like some kind of O-style boss joke.

But the alpha's strong pheromones hit his nerves again and again.

...Is this a pot filled with fake chemicals?

"Did you deliberately ask the black market merchants to disguise the pheromones in the fake drugs to be the same as Xiao Cheng's?" Tang Bai didn't even believe what he said.

Xie Ruheng: “???”

Xie Ruheng: "What is a fake charge?"

"The book says you are an omega, and you got a drug from a black market merchant that can make an omega pretend to be an alpha." Tang Bai's head almost exploded: "When you first took me to the black market, wasn't the drug you bought from the drug merchant named Mo the disguised drug?"

A deep confusion flashed across Feng's eyes.

Xie Ruheng looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of any fake drugs. What I bought from Mr. Mo were stimulants and therapeutic agents."

"I think if there really is a fake drug, even if the omega is injected, it can't be temporarily marked like the alpha, right? I marked you, and now I release pheromones, you should be able to sense it?"

The rich pheromones surged over, suggesting that this was a strong, vigorous, and aggressive alpha, making the omega's legs go weak at the first sniff.

Tang Bai blinked blankly.

Yes.

It is not difficult to use fake drugs to change the internal physiological structure of an omega. The one who can mark him must be an alpha, and Xiao... Xie Ruheng marked him.

So Xie Ruheng is not an omega.

It is a green tea flavored alpha.

It’s Xiao Cheng.

My best friend and the alpha that I like are the same person?

My bestie tagged me?

The main character marked me as a cannon fodder?!

Tang Bai's little brain couldn't handle the huge amount of information. His worldview was shattered at that moment. Tang Bai stumbled and said, "Don't you like Gu Tunan? Why did you mark me?"

Xie Ruheng also said aggrievedly after hearing this: "I don't like Gu Tunan, I only like you."

Tang Bai was even more confused. He stuttered, "Wait, you just said that you also triggered the time and space characteristics of the magic silver, and saw that you would die soon in the future. Since you are an alpha, how can you die soon?"

Xie Ruheng said sincerely: "I also want to know the answer to this question. Will I get an incurable disease in the future?"

"The book mentioned that as an omega, you were injected with a fake drug, and the cost of the drug was a shortened lifespan." Tang Bai's voice was shaking violently, and he suspected that he had read a fan fiction.

If that book is false...

There is no omega light.

There is no longer the Xie Ruheng whom he admired.

That book, that person, did what he didn't dare to do, told him how powerful an omega could be, and let him see that the bird in the cage had other choices.

He tried hard to follow the footsteps of Xie Ruheng in the book, trying to break through the shackles that society has placed on omegas. He wrote articles, did live broadcasts, participated in mecha manufacturing competitions, and went to military school...

He followed in that person's footsteps and did his best to follow him.

I hope to be as dazzling as that person and illuminate others.

Even if he can't, it doesn't matter. He has already become a better person on the road of following the other person.

That was his star, which had traveled through the endless darkness, across billions of light years, and illuminated his entire universe, but now this star suddenly disappeared.

So there was suddenly an empty space in Tang Bai's heart.

"In the book, my death was caused by an injection of a fake drug, but I have never been injected with this drug. Does that mean I may not die young?!" Phoenix's eyes suddenly glowed brightly.

Tang Bai stared blankly at Xie Ruheng in front of him.

This alpha was not the omega light that he wished for, and would no longer flash by like that brilliant but short-lived shooting star.

He is so young, strong and healthy, like the rising sun, able to break through all the fog and shine brightly in the new era that is about to come.

Yes, there is no omega light Xie Ruheng anymore, but in this way, the Xie Ruheng he truly knows can live on in good health.

No need to carry those things anymore.

He didn't have to endure physical torture and accusations from all walks of life, and he didn't have to stay forever on the eve of dawn and die alone.

But......

Why does he want to cry so much?

The amber eyes stared at Xie Ruheng, and the mist in her eyes condensed into water droplets, which fell down with a crackling sound.

Rational joy and emotional sorrow collided with each other in his chest, swelling up into strange and fragmented emotions, and it seemed that these emotions could only be vented through tears.

Xie Ruheng was suddenly panicked. He couldn't find a tissue, so he carefully wiped Tang Bai's tears with his hands.

Tang Bai cried quietly. He curled up into a small ball with his forehead against Xie Ruheng's chest. His hands tightly grasped Xie Ruheng's clothes, and his shoulders twitched slightly.

"Don't cry, young master. I was wrong."

Young Master, Young Master, Young Master.

In fact, if Xie Ruheng had called him "Young Master" during the etiquette test, he should have reacted.

No, the star button was found on Xie Ruheng...

No, he should have noticed something when he smelled Xiao Cheng's scent on Xie Ruheng...

Should this be considered as fan fiction harming people?

No! Xie Ruheng also did a lot of disguises to avoid being exposed!

The chest muscles that Tang Bai was touching with his face now felt very different from the big chest muscles of "Xiao Cheng" before. With red eyes, he choked up and said, "Why are your chest muscles sometimes big and sometimes small?"

Xie Ruheng remained silent.

Xie Ruheng's face was filled with sorrow.

Xie Ruheng stammered, "I have a pair of fake pectoral muscles."

Tang Bai: “?” It’s really cool for a male A like you to wear fake pectoral muscles.

"Then why are your hands always different?"

Xie Ruheng felt guilty.

Xie Ruheng regretted it deeply.

Xie Ruheng said with gritted teeth: "I used a short-acting scar removal cream."

Tang Bai wiped her tears on Xie Ruheng's clothes and said fiercely: "Do you know that short-acting scar cream is very irritating to the skin? I sent you so many good ointments, but they are not as harmful as a tube of short-acting scar cream!"

Xie Ruheng fell to his knees and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied."

"What about your major in the Command Department? You never let me go to the Command Department to see you. Is this major also fake?!" Tang Bai was like a little fighter against fakes at this moment.

"No, no, no! This is real!" Xie Ruheng turned on his laptop and showed Tang Bai the process of applying for a dual degree overnight.

Tang Bai: “???” So the motivation for you to overcome the heavy workload of studying for two degrees was just to put on a fake account?!

Xie Ruheng tried to flatter himself: "I have to complete double the study tasks every day, and under such high-intensity training tasks..." Xie Ruheng wanted to say that he was tired and thin, but he ate double the love bento every day, and actually seemed to have gained a little weight.

"It's only because of my love for you that I can persevere." Xie Ruheng changed his words.

Tang Bai: “…” You’ve worked so hard not to get caught.

At this point, Xie Ruheng's image as a cool male god and a dream lover in Tang Bai's mind completely collapsed. The mere thought of a perfect male god with fake pectoral muscles shattered all the filters in her mind, okay!

"What about the face of 'Xiao Cheng'?" Tang Bai stretched out his hand and pulled at Xie Ruheng's handsome face. He said viciously: "Did you use that fake face to scare me just to prove the authenticity of your trumpet?!"

The tone was so violent that there wasn't a trace of gentleness or consideration at all!

Xie Ruheng, who has always been treated like an idol and a dream lover, said: "......"

Tang Bai pinched his cheeks and twisted them: "It's not purple."

Tang Bai snorted: "Don't act cute!"

He loosened his hands that were ravaging Xie Ruheng's handsome face, and saw the slap marks on both sides of Xie Ruheng's cheeks. He blinked his dazed eyes. Xie Ruheng, who had never been called "cute" in his life, suspected that Tang Bai was mad at him.

I am truly sinful.

Xie Ruheng repents.

"My other identity is the 'rat' of the underground arena. Xiao Cheng's human/skin mask is actually the 'rat' in disguise. When you were in danger in the slums that day, I had just come out of the underground arena and hadn't even had time to take off the mask before I immediately went to save you."

Xie Ruheng said sincerely: "I didn't expect you wouldn't recognize my human/skin mask, because when we first met, you directly called me out as 'rat'."

Tang Bai was stunned for a moment, "What I saw in Magic Silver was a novel, all text descriptions, not pictures." Tang Bai had never thought about investigating the "rat", because the information he saw in the novel must be more comprehensive than what he got from the investigation. The only thing he didn't know was what the "rat" looked like, but Tang Bai was not interested in the "ordinary person/skin mask" in the book.

Who knows that an ordinary person/leather mask can look so handsome on Xie Ruheng's face!

"Wait, what about the pseudonym 'Xiao Cheng'?" Tang Bai asked in confusion: "You can just tell me your real identity. Anyway, I know you are 'Rat'."

Xie Ruheng was silent for a moment, then said embarrassedly, "Because at that time I thought you were a green tea, and I wanted to stay away from you, so I didn't use my real identity, and planned to throw away the vest of 'Xiao Cheng' after I was done with it."

Tang Bai: “???”

Tang Bai was confused: "Because I teach tea art?"

Xie Ruheng blushed a little.

Tang Bai: “???” Your face is red like a bubble teapot!

"Because the night before we met, you told my reader that you didn't like Xie Ruheng or Gu Tunan."

Xie Ruheng now recalls his youthful heart, as if he were recalling a dark history. He said with difficulty: "At that time, I thought you were seducing me every day... and after you made my heart beat, you didn't take responsibility, so I wanted to stop the loss in time."

Tang Bai: “…”

Tang Bai recalled a series of things he had done when he was with Xie Ruheng before -

She sent a love lunch box to Ruheng Xie out of self-love, taught Ruheng Xie a kiss over tea, touched Ruheng Xie's waist and praised her for being hot, and told Ruheng Xie that she liked Xiao Cheng...

Tang Bai's shame suddenly exploded, and his rationality exploded into fireworks in the sky. He turned red from the tips of his ears to his toes, like a sweet little apple.

Shark me.

Tang Bai thought dejectedly.
