Chapter 49: Are all bad guys as good as you ?

In front of the overwhelming energy blasts, Tang Bai saw the alpha roll onto the ground without hesitation, then leap up, his slender figure spinning in the air to avoid the second wave of energy blasts.

Tang Bai pressed up against the wall, alert and holding his diamond encrusted energy gun, aiming at the chest of the child who kept leaning into the fire, he bit his lip and shifted his wrist slightly, hitting the other man's arm holding the gun with precision.

The boy dropped the gun in his hand in pain.

Taking this opportunity, Xie Ruhang leaps in front of his shorter opponent and delivers a hand slash directly to the back of his head.

It was a sight to behold, Tang Bai found his opponent rolling, rising, sprinting, leaping and hand slashing in less than three seconds.

Even though Tang Bai had seen many good alpha's, this one was definitely in the top three of anyone he knew!

Xie Ruhang ties up the assailant and looks back to see Tang Bai crouched in a small, limp ball, crouching in the corner with his energy gun, his round amber eyes looking like they hold a weak, helpless soul.

Xie Ruhang's fingers twitched nervously, he was obviously angry with this person, angry at him for being duplicitous, angry at him for not protecting himself, but when he met his gaze like this, all he could do was feel pain for a moment.

It must have been very hard for Tang Bai to have her softest kindness exploited.

Xie Ruhang, who had wanted to leave, struggled for a while, but could not resist helping Tang Bai to make things right.

Tang Bai saw the dark-haired, dark-eyed alpha approaching him, his dark eyes dense with unreadable emotion, cold and restrained yet burning, as if he was repressing something, inscrutable.

What makes it even more special is that Tang Bai has a familiarity with this alpha at first sight.

Is it because of the drawbridge effect?

After staring at Tang Bai's wandering face for a moment, Xie Ruhang sighed in resignation and held out his hand to Tang Bai, "Can you stand up?"

Afraid that Tang Bai would recognise his voice, Xie Ruhang kept it low and magnetic, as if tiny particles of heat were sharpening the auditory nerves.

Ears are crispy!

Tang Bai inexplicably thought of the words "Don't move" that the alpha had just said to him against his ear, and he blushed and said, "Yes."

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

" Xiao Cheng ." Xie Ruhang gave the name casually, Xiao being his mother's surname.

" Xiao Cheng, thank you for saving me, I don't know how to repay you, how about this, let's add a communication first?" Tang Bai extends his hand with a light brain ring to Xie Ruhang.

Xie Ruhang was stunned.

When he and Tang Bai first met, Tang Bai seemed to start asking for contact information with the sweetest eyes and whispery voice**, even the words for communication were similar ......

Yes, this is the familiar recipe, this is the familiar scent of tea!

In this instant, it was as if a billion green teas were pouring through Xie Ruhang's mind, converging into an ocean of turquoise that flooded him, and then ...... Xie Ruhang replied coldly with dead fish eyes open, "No."

It is not possible to give contact information to a large number of small numbers are added Tang Bai, a give will not be revealed.

Tang Bai, who hadn't expected to say no, froze, his hand frozen in mid-air, even his dull hairs collapsing in a shrivelled heap.

It is understandable that people in the slums are very guarded and it is only natural that Xiao Cheng does not want to associate with strangers.

Not wanting to look at Tang Bai's lost expression, Xie Ruhang put his head down and called a hover car, ready to twist the assailant to the police station.

Tang Bai finished consoling herself, and pursed her lips again to squeeze out a smile, her soft cheeks emerging into a shallow dimple that made people want to squeeze it, "Did you just call a taxi?"

"Hmm." Xie Ruhang's fingertips twitched, but eventually resisted the urge to poke Tang Bai in the cheek.

As they waited for the hovercar to arrive, neither of them spoke, but Xie Ruhang's keen five senses made him aware of Tang Bai's surreptitious glances at him.

The little idiot is not very good at peeking, and every now and then he casts a nervous glance that makes Xie Ruhang tense up along with him.

The alpha in front of him was not stunning, but he had good bone structure, a high nose and a clean jawline, a good-looking type of face.

It was a bit of a set-up to say that, but it seemed like he had seen this man somewhere.

Xie Ruhang: "......"

If you have time to look at the faces of the people you meet, why don't you have time to chat with your Brother Xie?

Xie Ruhang turned his face majestically and met the eyes of Tang Bai who was peeking in.

Tang Bai: "!"

Tang Bai's face turned red as she was caught in the act, steaming like a ripe custard bun.

Xie Ruhang's cold, unfeeling ice melted for the most part in an instant as he said with forced coolness, "You're an omega coming to the slums, why didn't you bring a bodyguard?" Why didn't you ask me to come to the slums with you!

Tang Bai quickly flashed his diamond-encrusted energy gun, "I have a weapon to defend myself with." If it weren't for the fact that the attacker was a child, Tang Bai would have struck first the moment he became suspicious.

The next second, Tang Bai was grabbed by Xie Ruhang with one hand, the alpha in front of him was as fast as a ghost, his long arms locked around his neck, as if a demon had imprisoned him in his arms, in complete control, unable to escape.

Tang Bai felt the bitterness and ruthlessness in his opponent's blood from the pressure on his body, a sense of danger that made Tang Bai's bones tremble.

The cold muzzle of the gun pressed against Tang Bai's temple, the thin lips of the alpha grazing Tang Bai's ear, the raspy voice ringing coldly in Tang Bai's ears, "If you meet a bad guy, these weapons won't work in time."

Tang Bai couldn't tell if his heart was beating hard because of instinctive fear or because of a dopamine rush, his eyes were wet and watery, and he tilted his head slightly uncomfortably, his long neck trembling like a dying swan.

Xie Ruhang looked at the scene in front of him and his heart suddenly warmed.

Tang Bai, with a blank face, asked softly, "Are all the bad guys as good as you?" Perhaps because of the inconvenience of having her neck restrained, her voice, which was always sweet and soft, became slightly muffled.

Bad guys, like you, awesome.

Xie Ruhang: "!!!" How can you still be so flirtatious at this point in time?

What's worse is that the experience of the warmth and softness of the embrace, combined with Tang Bai's rhetorical question with a trill, makes Xie Ruhang feel uncontrollably aroused.

Tang Bai's legs felt a little weak after Xie Ruhang's sudden release, and not only that, but the faintest of tingles on her skin made Tang Bai's toes curl up.

Xie Ruhang noticed that the little omega in front of him exuded a tantalising aura with his hands and wet eyes, and when he locked eyes with him, Tang Bai's eyes dropped quickly, a shyness that had not been present even during Tang Bai's intimate encounters with him during the etiquette lessons.

YES! Shy!!!

Xie Ruhang's hands were still soft and delicate from Tang Bai's skin, but the fire burning in his heart was instantly doused by the refreshing lemon tea...

No, you, boop me, aren't even shy!

Tang Bai was unaware of Xie Ruhang's acidic mental activity, and after dealing with the discomfort of being in close contact with a strange alpha, he offered his diamond encrusted energy gun with both hands and said softly, "I can't think of how I can repay you for a while, this is the 'Commander' series of energy gun, and I feel that this gun will only be as powerful as it can be in your hands."

Xie Ruhang: "......"

He always felt the scene was déjà vu ......

Oh, so it was Tang Bai from memory who had also shyly offered to give him the Commander ......

So this gun you are giving away an alpha when you see one?!!!

Xie Ruhang was going so sour that he wanted to pick this little green tea up and shake her to see how many sets he could shake out of her!

Xie Ruhang tried his best to maintain a calm demeanour and said, "You gave me the gun without fearing that I am a bad person?"

"You don't look like a bad guy." Tang Bai blurts out, and he has a very reassuring feeling when he stays with this alpha.

Xie Ruhang: "......"

Xie Ruhang finally relented, pointing at his tied-up assailant and saying in a hushed voice, "Does he look like a bad guy?"

No one knows how great the fear was in Xie Ruhang's heart the moment he saw Tang Bai being held at gunpoint by this killer with an energy gun.

The finger pointing at the assailant twitched slightly, dropping to the side of his leg and forming a fist as if to hide the loss of composure, Xie Ruhang pursed his lips and spoke again in an unmistakable voice: "If you are too naive, you cannot even protect yourself."

Tang Bai thought Xiao Cheng had a good point. He had been accompanied by Xie Ruhang every time he came to the slums before, and it was Xie Ruhang who had shielded him from the dark side of the slums, while he really thought it was safe.

Ten long, white fingers twisted together, reddened eyes slightly drooping, Tang Bai looked like a child who had done something wrong and was listening to a lecture.

Xie Ruhang: "......"

Did I yell at him too loudly ......

Xie Ruhang was overwhelmed with intolerance and remorse at the sight of Tang Bai looking at him pitifully with wet eyes.

I shouldn't have been mean to him.

Xie Ruhang thought with chagrin.

It's clear that I didn't protect him.

Xie Ruhang is frustrated.

He was already terrified earlier and I was actually mean to him.

Xie Ruhang is heartbroken.

Those lips pursed into a straight line opened, "...... But being naive isn't a bad thing."

Tang Bai, who was waiting for the lecture to continue: "?"

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

Ah this ......

Is this the heart of a knife?

Tang Bai fished a sandwich milk candy out of his pocket and carefully handed it to the other man, "Want some candy?"

Xie Ruhang: "......"

After Xie Ruhang took the candy, Tang Bai rubbed her nose and said softly, "Thank you for talking to me, I've learnt my lesson this time, I'll be more careful in the future.

Xie Ruhang who was instantly healed by this smile: "...... Hmmm."

The hover car pulled up to the side of the road and they got in. No one spoke on the way, Tang Bai pondered what he would do to repay " Xiao Cheng ", giving the commander to the other party who didn't want it, and giving money straight away was too vulgar.

Tang Bai searched the Internet in distress and after seeing something about a love match, he turned off the search engine with a black face as he looked out of the window with his mind in turmoil.

In the car window he sees the side of Xiao Cheng's face, an alpha with a very detached air, more and more removed from all the worldly noise in the blurred colours of the landscape.

Tang Bai saw through the reflection on the glass that the alpha suddenly turned his head slowly to look at him, his endlessly suppressed dark eyes showing a momentary loss of affection.

It was a gentle gaze that he himself was not aware of.

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

It must have been that he had just looked away.

Tang Bai didn't dwell too much on this little episode and soon the hover car drove them to the police station where the police took their separate statements. The thorn in Tang Bai's side was finally removed when the police told him that the child who had attacked him suffered from Highlander Syndrome and was not a real child but a developmentally delayed adult.

Although the marks left behind are difficult to remove for a while, they are not as unpleasant as before.

" Mr. Tang, you can leave now, this case will be investigated to the fullest extent."

Tang Bai glanced down the hall, "Hasn't my companion come out yet?"

"Mr. Xiao has left early."

"Did he leave contact details?"

"No. Are you worried about the safety of going back alone? We've put you in touch with Mr Bai Zhi ......"

Tang Bai stood bewildered at the police station, his heart suddenly a little empty.

He ...... He hasn't thanked this Mr. Shaw properly ......

Bai Zhi, who came to pick Tang Bai up, saw Tang Bai's lost look and thought Tang Bai was in shock because of the attack. He reassured Tang Bai, "When you get home, take a shower, drink a glass of hot milk and get a good night's sleep to forget all your bad feelings."

Tang Bai nodded obediently, thanked Bai Zhi, and went home to take a shower as Bai Zhi had instructed, but as he was undressing, Tang Bai suddenly noticed a charm stuck to the necklace he was wearing, which was made of magic silver.

Inside the talisman seems to be placed a small bead, and that bead and the magic silver have an invisible sticky-like attraction together.

Tang Bai did not open the talisman to see what it contained, after all, such a talisman could not be opened casually, and the charm was probably Xiao Cheng's, probably from his physical contact with Xiao Cheng today.

The amulet looked old, its colour had faded, but it was still worn by Xiao Cheng, so it must be important.

Tang Bai thought about it and logged on to his Starnet account, which happened to be at the top of the list from the last time he was on chat, so Tang Bai clicked in and asked, "Is there a place like Lost and Found in the slums?"

Replying to him immediately, "What did you pick up?"

Tang Bai: "I found a talisman in the slum today. Although this is not a valuable item, I thought it should be important to the owner and wanted to return it as soon as possible."

After a while,: "Yes, it's important to me."

Tang Bai: "Hmm."

Tang Bai: "Huh?!?!?!?!?"
