Chapter 7: Come here, I'll show you a baby.

Tang Bai shivered at the back of his neck as Xie Ruhang stared at him, and the little tuft of nerdy hair on top of his head trembled along with him, " Brother Xie?"

Xie Ruhang looked back, "It's getting late, I can still show you around an area before it gets dark, where do you want to go?"

Red light district, underground arena, black market.

With these three options at hand, Tang Bai hesitated, "I want to go to the black market."

The book mentions a black market trader, Old Man Qin, from whom Xie Ruhang bought the potion disguised as an alpha.

Although Tang Bai had already established that Xie Ruhang was the main character, it was so absurd that he wanted to check again to see if the real-life characters matched up with the important ones in the book.

The black market is in the West End, and on the outside it looks like an old residential building with four floors, the ground floor is rented out as a kiosk, the doors and windows of the other floors are closed, and the balcony on the first floor has large trousers hanging out on wires.

But this seemingly unassuming residential building is the slum's largest drug exchange, arms smuggling depot and a place where all sorts of banned goods are sold, even human beings are sold openly and honestly.

Xie Ruhang takes a black cloak from the car and drapes it over Tang Bai, the wide hood covering most of her face, revealing only her slender jaw.

The door opens and the pungent stench makes Tang Bai wrinkle her nose.

The ground around the truck was littered with rubbish and Tang Bai even saw cockroaches and flies crawling around, which nearly made him faint and cover his mouth and nose in panic to prevent him from screaming.

A nest of cockroaches! The big ones! And they can fly!

His out-of-place behaviour attracted the attention of many people around him, but those who saw Tang Bai standing next to him were Xie Ruhang, who then withdrew their gaze.

Xie Ruhang took Tang Bai to the kiosk on the ground floor, which was owned by an old man wearing old-fashioned glasses, lying in a wicker chair with a drowsy look, "Is this Little Xie?" The old man, who clearly did not have a face such as the one who looked at him, told me who he was.

Tang Bai stood obediently behind Xie Ruhang, surveying the old man on the wicker chair and the shelves behind him, full of goods, carbonated drinks, milk tea powder, stickers, bread, biscuits ...... It looks like a normal kiosk, but the packaging is actually full of drugs.

Xie Ruhang pulled out a bearer savings card, "The usual, ten tubes."

Is this buying a potion disguised as an alpha?!

The dull hairs stood up alertly and the amber eyes were fixed on old man Qin.

Tang Bai guessed that there were camouflage agents and inhibitors inside.

The hands belonged to an old man, with sagging skin and dense age spots. If it hadn't been for the book about the identity of old man Qin, Tang Bai would never have been able to associate the old man in front of him with the most mysterious pharmacist in the black market.

Another detail right on ......

Even though this is a bizarre event, Tang Bai is clearly aware that he is really living in a book.

Xie Ruhang, who had bought the healing pills and stimulants, looked back and saw Tang Bai looking at him with a serious face, her lips pursed, wanting to say something, but then stopping.

Xie Ruhang: "......?"

"This potion hurts, doesn't it?" Tang Bai mumbled.

The stimulants made by Old Man Qin did hurt more, but Xie Ruhang was an ace competitor in the underground arena and often had the task of guarding the ring. The players in the underground arena had little modesty and everyone was basically on drugs, even the powerful Xie Ruhang had to take a dose at some point when it was necessary.

"My body can take it."

When Xie Ruhang finished, he saw Tang Bai's expression of "young people really don't know how to control themselves".

Xie Ruhang: "......?"

Old man Qin pushed the frame and smiled slowly, " Little Xie, the little omega you brought with you is reminding you to take care of your health yo."

Tang Bai nodded vigorously, fearing that Xie Ruhang would get upset like last time, and added in a whisper, "It's not that you're not well now, you're fine now when you're young, but what should you do when you're older?"

The crowd was stunned at these words.

Tang Bai Thinking of the age at which Xie Ruhang fell ill and died in the book, a trace of remembrance flashed in old man Qin's eyes, while Xie Ruhang ......

He was a man from the slums, who slept to the sound of stray bullets, with the panic of precariousness etched into his bones, and actually never thought about what would happen when he got old.

Halfway through the day, a black-gloved hand gently pulled down the brim of Tang Bai's hat, "That's a long way to go."

Tang Bai's small, aggrieved face was shadowed as his little mind worked out how likely it was that the Institute could improve the camouflage agent, but surely the Institute would not undertake such treacherous research, so what could he do to reduce the physical risks of Xie Ruhang's injection?

Go and get help from your grandfather?

Seems less available.

Although Tang Bai's grandfather loved him, he would never have agreed to develop such a potion that would turn O into A.

Unable to come up with a solution, Tang Bai continued to follow Xie Ruhang on a tour of the black market. Entering from the ground floor, Tang Bai saw four or five people sitting on chairs in the dimly lit hallway either injecting or taking drugs, their teeth black, their bodies full of needle holes, or in severe cases, dozens of holes dripping with pus.

These drug addicts are just the tip of the iceberg in the slums. The huge profits from drug trafficking far outweigh those from arms smuggling and human trafficking, and countless people have fallen victim to the staggering profits.

Tang Bai's pace slows and he stares at everything in front of him in a daze, as if he were looking into another world.

How difficult would it be for an omega to grow up safely and struggle to become a marshal in such a world?

Although the book states that Xie Ruhang was not born an omega, but suddenly diverged from a beta to an omega at the age of fourteen, fortunately old man Qin used Xie Ruhang as a test subject to test an immature potion that could disguise an omega as an alpha, allowing Xie Ruhang to conceal his true gender.

Now how is he supposed to write about an omega struggling to become a master mech builder?

Even from God's point of view, where all the plot lines serve the protagonist, Tang Bai still feels powerless and he is lost in thought.

Just then, a beta swished up his face and suddenly lunged at Tang Bai with a sudden exuberance that no frail omega like Tang Bai could have dodged!

Tang Bai's eyes widened and before she could react, she was wrapped in a pair of strong hands. Xie Ruhang kicked the beta away with a cold face, the shocking force of which caused him to hit the wall with a thud, unable to get up for half a day.

"Don't fret, don't touch these things, and don't eat food given by strangers." Xie Ruhang said coldly.

Tang Bai nodded with a pale face and followed Xie Ruhang with small steps, like a small animal afraid of losing him.

After a few steps, Xie Ruhang looked back at Tang Bai's watery eyes as if remembering something, and after making sure Tang Bai was not crying from fear, Xie Ruhang slowly added, "Don't be afraid either, I'm here."

-- "With me, no one will hurt you."

Tang Bai's heart fell back into her chest as if she had taken a chill pill.

Tang Bai nodded vigorously and gave a soft mumble as he gently grabbed the corner of Xie Ruhang's coat, and when Xie Ruhang didn't object, he clutched it like a little sticky cake.

The first floor is also a place where all kinds of prohibited items are sold, as well as stolen goods from unknown sources. The third floor is like a large arsenal, where Tang Bai recognises many weapons that are only equipped by the military, and in addition to this there are many parts and precious energy stones, which seem to be even more complete than the materials store of the weapons institute.

"The weapons here are not the best, the better goods will be put up for auction on the third and fourth floors." Xie Ruhang lowered his voice and said, "But it's usually enough to come here to replenish your ammunition."

The first floor is full of people, all tall and tough, and Tang Bai, an omega, should be cowering here, but in fact, Tang Bai's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, looking around as if he were entering an accessories shop.

Here are the core parts to make the Backlight Blade! Geez isn't this blood red ore the material for the hilt of the Sunbeam Axe? Oh this energy stone sells for several times more than the market price, no wonder someone wants to be a second hand dealer ......

"You can basically buy all kinds of weapons you want here, it's just a pity that the latest batch developed by the Weapons Institute can't be bought for money." Xie Ruhang said softly.

Tang Bai, who was looking around, looked back and thought that Xie Ruhang's tone sounded familiar, wasn't it the same tone of regret he had when he was a kid and wanted to buy a full set of mechs but couldn't get them with his pocket money?

With amber eyes that once again showed motherly compassion, Tang Bai asked softly, "Do you want the 'Commander' collection?"

Xie Ruhang: "......?"

Xie Ruhang: "Of course."

Xie Ruhang showed Tang Bai around the first two floors, and when it was getting late, he took her out of the area. When she got into the hover car, Xie Ruhang saw Tang Bai shyly roll up the hem of her dress, revealing a slender white waist, and called to Xie Ruhang in a soft voice: "Come here, I'll show you a treasure. show you a treasure."

Xie Ruhang's pupils dilated sharply.

Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang look at each other for a moment, their amber eyes a little brighter, their smiling gaze is generous and open, pure to the point of being unadulterated**, even when revealing their supple and slender waists, still like hapless teenagers.

Xie Ruhang's eyes darken.

Tang Bai shyly removes the diamond-encrusted energy gun from her waist and hands it to Xie Ruhang, whose face is flushed with a sickly flush, thinking with relief how excited our omega-light is to see the Commander's energy gun.

Although he likes the energy gun, he reaps double the pleasure of giving something he likes to someone who likes it.

"...... It's an energy gun from the Commander series." Xie Ruhang didn't know which side of the coin he should be shocked at for a moment, "How did you get this gun?"

"My grandfather is the head of the weapons institute." Tang Bai held the energy gun up to Xie Ruhang like a treasure, "It's for you, this gun will only be as powerful as it can be in your hands."

The temptation was enormous, and if he reached out, the priceless energy gun would be his.

Fingertips move slightly.

Is this the way Tang Family people express their fondness?

Xie Ruhang knew that Old Tang, the head of the Weapons Institute, had sent for him some time ago, supposedly looking for gifted alpha testers, but not for the Commander series, but for a new series that had not yet been made public.

It turns out Tang Bai is Old Tang's grandson, no wonder Tang Bai knows him, maybe Tang Bai saw him on Old Tang's shortlist of testers and became interested in him?

Old Tang gave one of the Commander series weapons to his grandson and Tang Bai gave it to him without batting an eyelid. ......

Xie Ruhang is inwardly laughing.

"It's too expensive." Xie Ruhang pointed to the dessert bag, "These will suffice as payment."

His volume is not high, but it is strong and cannot be denied.

Tang Bai's dull hairs curled up and he instantly caught Xie Ruhang's mood as he asked cautiously, "So ...... So you haven't had dinner yet, why don't I come and make it for you?"

The overly blunt ingratiation made Feng's eyes flush with helplessness.

This scene is uncannily similar to the plot of "The Rich Little Omega Fell in Love with Me", and you can guess the vicious plot by the title of the text, which Xie Ruhang knew about because he searched the internet after learning that Tang Bai was going to write a text at noon.

Then I was thunderstruck and didn't last more than three chapters before I quit.

Xie Ruhang was thinking while reading the article that if he were the poor boy alpha, he would never let omega break up with his family for him, it would be a deficit.

If the other's family objected, he climbed to a high position and then married her in style when he was strong enough.

Such a delicate omega deserves to be held in the palm of one's hand and patiently pampered.

What he liked was Tang Bai's pampered, bright and dazzling pose.

"It's on me." Xie Ruhang said, "What do you like to eat?"

Tang Bai: "...... Eh?!"

Mum, I've made it! The omega light has offered to buy me dinner! Rounded up, we're now friends for life!

Tang Bai was so flattered that she hung up the call without hesitation and said sweetly to Xie Ruhang, "I'm not picky! I can eat anything!"

Tang Bai was about to change his mind when the lightbulb communication came again, and fearing that the other party would persist in calling, Tang Bai looked down and saw that it was a call from the school director.

" Little Tang Ah, it's seven o'clock, haven't you finished your date with your family alpha yet?"

Xie Ruhang: "......?"

Xie Ruhang looked at Tang Bai with a strange look on her face as she spoke to the school director.

After hanging up, Tang Bai said in a shy voice, "Our school's lock-in time is coming up, so let's meet again." Damn, damn, damn, did Xie Ruhang hear that the name of my leave of absence was a date with Gu Tunan, that idiot?

The little man inside Tang Bai was biting his handkerchief like crazy, and he looked up at Xie Ruhang timidly through clenched teeth.

Xie Ruhang: Oh, shy.

The corners of Xie Ruhang's lips curled in pleasure as she drove Tang Bai back to school under the guise of a domesticated alpha.

On the other hand, Director Huang, who was afraid that something might happen to the lone A and O, thought about it and was still unsure, so he called Gu Tunan's communication, "...... What? You said Little Tang is not with you?"

"How is that possible? Little Tang just told me that you would walk him to school!"

Gu Tunan hangs up his communication, frowning, and quickly puts on his coat and rushes to Tang Bai's school, while Xie Ruhang's hover car is about to pull up in front of the school.

Director Huang was pacing in front of the school while contemplating what this was all about when he looked up and saw the figure of Gu Tunan rushing in.

He was about to wave when the lights of the hover car dispelled the darkness and a handsome alpha got out of the car and pulled the door open for Tang Bai as a gentleman.

Xie Ruhang's presence is so strong that whenever he makes a sound, everyone's eyes are unconsciously focused on him.

Gu Tunan stood in the night, his grey-blue eyes clouded with frost as he looked coldly at Xie Ruhang.

Xie Ruhang, on the other hand, looks only at Tang Bai, his phoenix eyes deep, his teary moles amorous, his vision penetrating.

Director Huang looked left and right, staggering in his mind, suspecting that he had stirred up a big problem for the outstanding students.

Why didn't you tell the teacher in advance? It's not like the teacher didn't cover for you!
