Chapter 141: Extra 7

Tang Bai was dumbfounded for a full ten seconds before he spat out a series of "......" How did the omega light come to be a maid in my house? This plot development is completely unscientific!

Xie Ruhang stands in front of Tang Bai with his head slightly bowed in a humble posture, his lowered brow hiding the sharpness in his eyes, he looks no different from the servants who have applied for jobs at Tang Family, the only difference may be that he is better looking.

"Young master, let me help you dress." Long, slender hands, wrapped in white gloves, exuded an air of abstinence from fingertips to cufflinks.

"Xie Ruhang's movements are crisp and gentle as he unbuttons the first button, revealing the white skin around his collarbone. The white skin at the collarbone is revealed.

It is a neck as long as a swan's, with a delicate, fragile collarbone.

The young master rolled the knot of his throat, and his eyes, fresh from sleep, looked up at him, dazed and moist, like a pure white lamb.

"I can do it myself ...... You go ahead and get out." The voice was incredibly soft.

The sun shone on Xie Ruhang's reddened ears as the young attendant placed his clothes by the bed and retired respectfully, leaving Tang Bai alone with his brain slumped on the bed.

He gnawed on his finger like a child who had made a mistake, biting it until the tip was red and his brow was furrowed.

What went wrong? Why did Xie Ruhang come to work for Tang Family as a servant? If Xie Ruhang only works as a maid in the future, there will be no more omega light in this world ......

*

"How did you get out of the room so quickly?" A maid asked.

"The young master does not need my help in dressing." Xie Ruhang replied.

"It must be your clumsiness, I don't know how you could be recruited to look after Mr. Gu." The maid lifted the hem of her skirt and walked upstairs, turning back to Xie Ruhang: "In fifteen minutes young master will be down for dinner, you can serve the hot porridge in the pot ahead of time, as well as the other snacks ......"

Xie Ruhang watched the maid disappear around the corner of the stairs, and he looked down at his fingertips, the hand that had just touched the buttons of the young master's pyjamas.

Until the old man came to him, he never thought he would meet Tang Bai again, the young nobleman who smiled so brightly at him as a child.

The improvement in his life was inextricably linked to the young master, whether it was the sudden increase in his father's income or the various games that kept appearing in his light brain, games that were not searchable on StarNet and whose protagonists had an unusual resemblance to the young master.

He had seen the young master from a distance in the slums. The young master was passionate about charity, helping the poor for free, and many people had received favours from him, and everyone said that if there were angels in this world, they would be in the young master's likeness.

With Xie Ruhang's access, he was unable to find any information about the young master on Starnet until he was approached by the old man named Tang Rong, who first asked him if he wanted to be a tester at the Weapons Research Institute and then arranged for him to be the Tang Family's servant, secretly protecting Tang Bai.

He originally did not want to agree.

Although the profession of a servant was once his mother's heart's desire, he had been educated by that mysterious man and the future he imagined was by no means limited to it.

Then he saw the picture of the young master.

He was fourteen when he was secondarily divided into omega, his true gender known to the Hon. Tang Rong, and because of his gender, he had the opportunity to protect Tang Bai close to his heart.

His Excellency Tang Rong offered him, in addition to a generous amount of star money, a letter of recommendation to attend the Federation College of Etiquette.

Xie Ruhang's mind is distracted from his thoughts as he serves his breakfast and stands quietly by the table.

A sound of footsteps approaches and Xie Ruhang first sees the slender legs of the ankles.

As a servant it is best not to look directly into the face of one's employer, and Xie Ruhang looks down to see her feet hooked in slippers on the brick-red carpet.

White cut-out lace socks encase jade-like feet, with a faint hint of pink visible on the heel.

A very pretty colour, a pale peachy shade.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Xie Ruhang looks up to see Tang Bai, cup in both hands, inclining his head in question, in an attitude not like that of a master and servant but of a friend making small talk.

Xie Ruhang looks around subconsciously and nods slightly as he confirms that he is the only one standing in front of Tang Bai.

Tang Bai picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, took a few bites and beckoned to Xie Ruhang, "A little milk cake that I really like, try it."

Xie Ruhang took the pastry and, fearing that the crumbs would fall to the floor, he held it in one hand at his jaw and took a bite of the milk cake, the rich, sweet and creamy flavour melting between his lips and teeth, not greasy and leaving a lasting taste.

"Is it good?" Amber eyes looked up at him brightly, like solidified honey.

Xie Ruhang is stunned for a moment and nods.

Tang Bai breathed a long sigh of relief and patted the chair beside her, "You sit here."

"I ......" Xie Ruhang's look was slightly hesitant.

"I'm not used to looking up to people, it's so tiring to talk like this." Tang Bai took a large sip of milk from his glass, a stain on his upper lip, and looked at Xie Ruhang unaware, his tone so soft that even the commanding words sounded petulant: "Sit down."

Xie Ruhang sits in the chair next to Tang Bai, sitting only on the front third of the seat, gazing down at the steaming snacks on the table.

He can feel Tang Bai's gaze, which makes him feel constrained even when he is sitting upright.

"You look about the same age as me." Tang Bai scooped up a spoonful of sweet porridge and asked knowingly, "How old are you?"

"Fourteen." Xie Ruhang whispered.

"What a coincidence, we're the same age ...... Why don't you go to school at your age?" Tang Bai remembers that Xie Ruhang's family had exactly the money to go to school.

"Your grandfather asked me to come and keep you safe and take care of your food and shelter, and as payment, he can recommend me to attend the best school in the Federation." Xie Ruhang replied.

Tang Bai: "!!!" Is Grandpa planning to send Xie Ruhang to the Federal Military Academy?

Tang Bai's realization dawned on him.

Tang Bai is overwhelmed with joy.

He was worried earlier that he had changed the plot line, but now the main plot is still going as it was in the book, and omega light is still omega light!

"Here, this pastry is also delicious, try it!" Tang Bai pushed another pastry in front of Xie Ruhang, "Are you thirsty? Would you like some milk tea?

Xie Ruhang turns his head to the enthusiastic Tang Bai, and after a moment's hesitation, he carefully removes his handkerchief and gently wipes the milk stains from the corners of his partner's lips as Tang Bai looks on in bewilderment.

Tang Bai licked the corner of her mouth a little embarrassed, "But what should you do about the gender issue if you're going to the Federation Military Academy?"

This time it was Xie Ruhang's turn to give a blank look.

"...... Federal Military Academy?"

" His Excellency Tang Rong arranged for me to enter the Commonwealth College of Etiquette, the best omega school."

A plate full of pastries was knocked to the ground by Tang Bai, spilling crumbs all over the floor.

*

Tang Bai had a very loose schedule for the day, with only one dance class on this day.

Xie Ruhang stood alone in the corner watching while Tang Bai and the dance teacher were teaching.

It was the Bather dance, a dance in which the wide sleeves of the robe swayed slightly as if the swan were spreading its wings.

As soon as the dance instruction was over and the teacher had left, Tang Bai collapsed onto the blanket without a care in the world, his curly hair spilling out, and he looked at Xie Ruhang and said softly, "Help me up."

The young master, dressed in fine and expensive clothes, was lying on the dusty carpet, which made Xie Ruhang feel bad, like seeing a piece of tofu fall on the floor.

"Hiss-" Tang Bai's huff made Xie Ruhang freeze and he looked cautiously at Tang Bai.

Half a slap away, he saw Tang Bai's thick lashes flutter as if they were butterfly wings, "Take them off for me."

"The girdle is really too tight."

Xie Ruhang thought of the dolls he had seen in the window and the dolls in a cupboard in the young master's room, and thought that if the young master was made as small as a doll, there would be no more exquisite dolls in the world than the young master's brand of dolls.

As she removed the corset, Tang Bai let out a contented sigh, then turned to Xie Ruhang and said, "I just saw that you've been looking at me very carefully-"

Xie Ruhang's pupils dilated instantly.

"-dancing, do you want to learn to dance?"

The phoenix eyes blinked, "...... Hmm."

"I can teach you~" Tang Bai had figured out that since Xie Ruhang was going to enter the Etiquette Academy, he should teach Xie Ruhang other skills that were suitable for omega, since he had taught Xie Ruhang the wrong skill tree before.

Tang Bai takes Xie Ruhang's hand and pulls the dazed Xie Ruhang towards his cloakroom.

"First we need to change into our clothes." Tang Bai's fingertips brush over a series of plain white tops, eventually coming to rest on the largest dress in her size.

"This should fit you." Tang Bai hands the dress with its hanger to Xie Ruhang, who then turns to look for the tights again.

Xie Ruhang is a little taller than him, and the largest trousers Tang Bai could find would leave Xie Ruhang's ankles exposed.

"These aren't a big deal, it's the shoes that I don't know if they'll fit you." Tang Bai raked through the box and found a beautiful shoe box containing a brand new pair of high-heeled dancing shoes.

"Found it! It's ......" Tang Bai paused for a moment, "Someone gave it to me, I just bought the wrong size, try it on~"

"And gloves, rings, um, you don't have pierced ears, let me look for ear clips ......"

When Xie Ruhang came out of the fitting room in her new outfit, Tang Bai was overwhelmed with admiration as he glistened and circled around Xie Ruhang, saying, "It looks great! By the way, do the shoes fit?"

"It's a bit big." Xie Ruhang replied.

"Then we won't practice today, we'll practice again when I get you shoes that fit, but ......" Tang Bai mysteriously took out the girdle, "I have to put this on for you!"

"Wow! Your waist is so thin!"

"You actually have abs eh, can I touch them?"

"Breathe in and breathe out, eh eh eh your abs are getting hard ......"

After a bit of fussing, Tang Bai took pictures of Xie Ruhang with the camera and interviewed him about his experience.

The handsome omega with dark hair and eyes in the camera whispered, "It's delicate and flashy, but full of restraints."

"I prefer the feeling of being free and uninhibited."

Tang Bai's eyes blinked several times, trying to squeeze out a smile.

*

When Gu Tunan visited the Tang Family, he learned that Tang Bai had gone out to do charity work again.

"The young master probably won't be back until evening, what a coincidence." The maid lamented.

Gu Tunan looked a little surprised, he was not surprised by Tang Bai's outing, in fact, Gu Tunan had heard that Tang Bai was going to the slums for charity today, that's why he came today, so he could go with Tang Bai in the name of protecting Tang Bai.

"Is anyone going out with Tang Bai?" Gu Tunan asked.

"The new waiter has accompanied the young master out." The maid said respectfully.

Waiter?

Gu Tunan frowned and handed the gift to the maid. He had given Tang Bai a pair of high-heeled dancing shoes last time, but Wang's wife had accidentally mixed up the shoes he was going to give to his little father, and this time he had brought the correct size shoes, hoping Tang Bai would like his gift.

"I think I'm more comfortable in flats. High heels are beautiful but not very convenient on muddy paths like the slums." Tang Bai said to Xie Ruhang, who was helping him with his umbrella.

They are going to see a family living in the hills today.

"There was a cute kid there, I saw him picking up rubbish to eat on the roadside earlier, so I took him to the shop to buy snacks, the shopkeeper probably took me for a fat sheep and specially quoted a higher price." Tang Bai laughed a little, "The kid had originally bought several items and suddenly put everything back, said he wasn't going to eat it, pulled me out and then secretly told me that the shopkeeper was bad-hearted and dragged me to another one."

"I bought him baked chicken wings and he put the bones in his pocket and said he would take them home for the dog." Tang Bai's eyes shine brightly as she gestures to Xie Ruhang: "They have this little white dog at home, very humane, he understands everything he says, but he's just too skinny, so I bought him dog food this time."

Xie Ruhang was carrying a bag of dog food worth a lot of money and listening to Tang Bai bouncing around, when Tang Bai said, "I'll give that dog food every month from now on, he'll be well fed!"

But sadly, the bag of dog food was not delivered.

The little white dog could not be found, the odds were that it had been stolen and eaten by the slumlords, and they all knew very well that the little white dog was in a bad way.

Xie Ruhang saw Tang Bai crouch down to comfort the child, "Little Bai probably went to Planet Woof first, and he was sad to leave you, so if he has the chance to come back here from Planet Woof again, he will come back to you."

"Then tell him not to come back to me." The child said, "It has to go and find an owner who will feed him."

"Dog food is so good." The kid put one in his mouth, "and he didn't get a single bite."

All the way back, Tang Bai was not in the best of moods.

"I've heard that people turn into stars when they die, and I think dogs do too." Xie Ruhang raised his head and pointed to the bright starry sky overhead, "Young Master, look at that star and see if it looks like that puppy."

"That's a puppy's tail there, and that's a puppy's paw."

Tang Bai tilted his head, he couldn't really see where Xie Ruhang was talking about the dog's star, but he knew Xie Ruhang was clumsily reassuring him.

"I'm fine." Tang Bai put his hands behind his back as he slowly walked under the stars and whispered, "We always lose a lot of things in our lives, and everyone has a way to open themselves up, and my way-"

Tang Bai looked back at Xie Ruhang, "It's a secret."

"But I can share that secret with you today."

It was Xie Ruhang's first foray into Tang Bai's secret base when a cabinet full of Palulu dolls was pushed open to reveal a pile of black market materials that were priced out of the market.

Xie Ruhang thought Tang Bai's self-enlightenment might be cooking, buying nice clothes or other forms of entertainment, but not this scene - the one before her.

The pink suitcase opened and a thick pile of mech designs lay in it.

Tang Bai sweeps the accessories off the dressing table and sits in his high chair, clicking on the drawing mode with the passion of a creator, his upper body crouched over his work, but his legs restless, one leg flexed, the heel on the soft crushed cushion, the other swaying slowly in mid-air.

A soft glow from the falling starlight haloed his feet, a glow that worked its way upwards and seemed to find starlight in those amber eyes.

Xie Ruhang stood quietly beside Tang Bai, watching him sketch out the prototype of the mech in ten minutes, without a pause, knowing the knowledge of mech building from his education in those games, so he had a better idea of how agile and talented Tang Bai's creations really were.

"This mecha will be called the Woof for now." Tang Bai stretched out comfortably like a cat as he leaned back in his chair and cocked his head at Xie Ruhang, "Do you have anything to say?"

--Yes.

--You look like you glow, young master.

"Are these all your works?" Xie Ruhang asks softly.

Tang Bai nods.

"Are we the only two who know the secret?"

Tang Bai continues to nod his head.

Xie Ruhang's heart was suddenly filled with a secret joy, and the distance between him and Tang Bai seemed to have been brought closer by this secret.

"Why don't you make these excellent works public?"

"Because there are no omega's in this world as mech builders yeah, everyone thinks omega's should be good and get married and have kids, grandpa forbade me to touch these things ......"

So the joy in Xie Ruhang's heart was suddenly overshadowed by a layer of sadness and heartache, which was similar to but different from seeing Tang Bai lying on the dusty carpet.

It was as if he saw his young master in glowing light being swallowed silently by the endless darkness.

He wanted to go and change all this, but he too was in the darkness and could not give any light to the young master.

"But I believe the future will change one day." Tang Bai looked to Xie Ruhang, who wanted to tell him everything he had seen from the magic silver, but reason stopped him.

This was a question he had been thinking about since Xie Ruhang's arrival.

He prevented most of the tragedies in Xie Ruhang's life. Now Xie Ruhang has surviving parents, has not been orphaned, and is not so keen to overthrow the existing system.

So can Xie Ruhang still be the light of the omega now?

If not ......

For Xie Ruhang, on the contrary, it is a happier ending.

The Xie Ruhang in the book had a life that was too hard and too miserable; mediocre but happy would have been a good choice, wouldn't it?

*

Xie Ruhang heard the news that the Tang & Gu families were interested in setting up a marriage between Tang Bai and Gu Tunan during a casual conversation between the servants.

I've heard that Gu Tunan likes Tang Bai a lot.

I've heard that these two are a good match, with A talent and O looks.

On hearing these discussions, Xie Ruhang was suddenly struck by a vile jealousy, as if a shadowy rat was gnawing at his insides with sharp teeth.

He saw that Gu Tunan often came to see Tang Bai and gave her expensive gifts, and Tang Bai would cook her own food in return.

He should have wished the young master well, but he always thought he was so good, kind, beautiful and lovely ...... All the good words can be added to the young master, and Gu Tunan looks inferior compared to the young master.

And Gu Tunan never really understood the young master, he knew that what the young master really cared about was the omega protection society he had created with Lord Bai Zhi, the mecha manufacturing hidden behind Palulu, and the bright future that would come some time later.

Instead of dance shoes and paints from Gu Tunan.

Perhaps it was because of the jealousy in his eyes that Tang Bai, who had been sent back by Gu Tunan with a red face, suddenly asked him, "Do you not want me to be with Gu Tunan?"

He was pruning a flowering branch when he nearly cut it off with a shaky hand.

"Don't worry, I don't like him, and he doesn't like me." Tang Bai took his arm affectionately and said softly as if she were a good friend, "He sees me as his rival and is always trying to outsmart me."

"When I was a kid I went for an interview at the Central Primary School attached to the Federal Military Academy and came first and beat him to the punch, so he was always defiant and even once he had to drag me into a physical fitness and basic fighting competition."

Xie Ruhang frowned, "Fighting arts?"

Tang Bai mmmed softly, "I hate to admit it but the physical difference between alpha and omega is really big, he overwhelmed me in one go and I couldn't beat him so I had to use my weapon to numb him down ......"

Tang Bai, who was in the middle of a mumble, was suddenly pounced upon by a strong, powerful body, and for a moment the world spun around as Xie Ruhang rolled him over and pinned him to the ground.

With the thick carpet on the floor and the wide palm of his hand firmly protecting the back of his head, Tang Bai didn't feel much pain.

"Is that how he overwhelmed you?" A raspy voice in the midst of a voice change rang in his ears.

Tang Bai lifted his eyes and met a pair of dark eyes that were indifferent and detached, yet interspersed with what seemed like lustful heat that caught Tang Bai's heartstrings off guard, "...... I'm sorry."

"Did he ever touch you like that?" Xie Ruhang adjusted a few positions where he could take advantage of the situation and asked seriously.

Tang Bai couldn't think of anything that had happened that long ago, and said, "I think so."

Xie Ruhang cursed hard in his heart.

The way Gu Tunan looked at the young master was one of undisguised love, and only the young master, a little fool, was too slow to sense anything, saying that he was only treating him as a rival, a nonsense that Gu Tunan probably swindled the young master into letting his guard down.

No, no, no, a character as innocent as the young master may have been taken advantage of by Gu Tunan, all thinking it was simply a friendly sparring session.

"Young Master, if anyone touches you like that in the future, unless they are your husband, otherwise please teach them a lesson they will never forget." Xie Ruhang removed his hand from Tang Bai's thigh and said solemnly.

The amber eyes are slightly watery and the cheeks remain flushed, while a light creamy pheromone emanates from Tang Bai's body.

"It's so strange, just now with Gu Tunan I feel like I have no energy, and now my body is so hot ......" Tang Bai's breath caught and a fine bead of sweat broke out on her forehead.

The first differentiation of the omega is usually, as a rule, at the age of six, and the first onset of oestrus is between fourteen and sixteen.

Xie Ruhang's heart drummed with him as he looked at the teenager lying on the snow-white carpet, panting low from his rutting ordeal, "Young master, your rut is here, I'll get you the suppressant."

He helped Tang Bai into the bedroom and took out a suppressant to fight Tang Bai down.

Xie Ruhang was worried that Tang Bai might have had a rejection reaction to her first inhibitor injection and asked her how she felt.

Xie Ruhang looked at Tang Bai's untouched spot and, in a daze, a thought popped up.

Bold to the point of being incredibly bold and even a little below the belt.

Perhaps Tang Bai's pheromones were so sweet that they paralysed his senses, or perhaps it was a repressed longing that Xie Ruhang whispered with the greatest courage of his life, "I can make young master feel better if he needs it."

This does not seem right.

But again, nothing wrong with that.

After all, it is a servant's duty to help his master share his worries.

Xie Ruhang's expression is so focused, his words so righteous, as if he were lying on the sofa after Tang Bai had eaten, being rubbed by Xie Ruhang's hand on his belly, only this time his hand is in a different place.

The soft sound of water resonates in the quiet bedroom.

The young master's ankles were slender, his toes curled, the taut backs of his feet incredibly beautiful, and Xie Ruhang's throat rolled as he looked into Tang Bai's face, the slight frown, the bite of his lower lip, the pure white paper coloured by him.

This knowledge gave his inner mouse a sense of satisfaction at last.

He also finally recognised his feelings for the young master.

He likes the young master, and not just as a friend. He wants the young master to live the life he wants, without having to marry someone he doesn't like and without having to bury his talent for making weapons.

His young master should not have been afraid of the world's eyes, let alone imprisoned in a flashy cage and losing his freedom, but it was not the young master's timidity that was at fault, but the world.

His young master was too good to need change. Change was always painful, more painful than dancing in high heels, walking on a knife's edge at every step, his young master should take the smooth road, the thorns on that road would be eradicated by him -

After all, it is a servant's duty to help his master share his worries.

--------------------

The author has something to say.

Last chapter many angels said they wanted to continue reading this world line, so I continued to write a little bit, well, well, I can't write any more, otherwise it will be the momentum of another book, I really can't stop
