Chapter 9: Tang Bai is actually on the fifth floor!

Sucking in her little nose, Tang Bai softly explained, "You misunderstand, although he is my fiancé-to-be, he doesn't like me."

Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan's ears perked up at the same time.

Tang Bai Chao said loudly, "He's just using me as a shield to deal with his parents, he doesn't like me at all, the prospective fiancé is what our parents say, in reality he doesn't have any interest in me at all."

Xie Ruhang narrowed his eyes to see Gu Tunan's expression, only to see those grey-blue eyes gazing deeply at Tang Bai, as if they had a thousand words to say, and no matter how he looked at them, he did not look as if he had no interest in Tang Bai.

Heh, do you expect me to believe in this trope that we are prospective fiancées but have no feelings for each other?

Tang Bai purred like a cat, "Brother Xie, don't ignore me."

Xie Ruhang: "......"

Xie Ruhang took a deep breath and told himself he wasn't having any of that!

There is no use in pouting! Green tea pampering will destroy his psychological bottom line! It's poison with sugar stuck to it!

Refuse to be green! Start by refusing to be pampered!

Xie Ruhang desperately tries to psychologically build himself up, his surface unperturbed, his eyes cold and unfeeling, like a frescoed scene, unreachable and unattainable.

It would work better if he could stop clenching his teeth.

Xie Ruhang stared at Tang Bai's innocent white flower face, looked left and right, and looked up and down at Tang Bai's slender but straight body under her loose white shirt.

Xie Ruhang's eyes are red with angst!

Xie Ruhang is surrounded by a constant churning of grievances, which, if they could be turned into words, would be -

No way Sir, is the love of my dreams O a green tea or not?

Amber eyes so clear that they seem to see into the clear soul, and a firm hand when he says Gu Tunan doesn't love him ...... Wait!

Tang Bai seems to have only said that Gu Tunan doesn't love him and never mentioned that he doesn't like Gu Tunan at all!

What he was trying to say, when you think about it, was "Gu Tunan doesn't love me, so don't get the wrong idea that Gu Tunan likes me".

Shouldn't a normal person say "I don't like Gu Tunan at all"?

He likes Tang Bai, not Gu Tunan, so why does Tang Bai have to explain in a hurry that Gu Tunan doesn't love him?

Awesome ...... This is a really great move ......

If Tang Bai says he doesn't love Gu Tunan, it will break Gu Tunan's heart anyway, while saying that Gu Tunan doesn't love him will give Gu Tunan a sense of indebtedness and, at first glance, make him think that there is no relationship between Gu Tunan and Tang Bai.

He only saw the second level and thought Tang Bai was the first level, when in fact Tang Bai was on the fifth level!

After thinking about everything, Xie Ruhang is determined to reject Tang Bai. Although he really likes Tang Bai's type of omega, Tang Bai already has a fiancé-to-be.

No amount of heartache is too much to refuse!

"Since your fiancé-to-be is here, you can go to him for anything from now on, we don't need to be in touch."

When Xie Ruhang said this, he kept his eyes away from Tang Bai, fearing that he would surrender on the spot if he saw Tang Bai's face.

"Ah ......?" Tang Bai stared blankly, her eyes full of heartbreaking aggression. Even if Xie Ruhang didn't look at Tang Bai's face, he could make up Tang Bai's crying expression from her crying tone of voice.

It's clearly Tang Bai's problem, but Xie Ruhang feels guilty for being the scum of the earth!

"You, how can you do this?" Tang Bai was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. It is said that alpha is like clothes and set of beauty is like hands and feet, but when it comes to Xie Ruhang, it has become you move my clothes and I break your hands and feet.

Xie Ruhang's heart ached, "It's getting late, I'll go back first." He didn't want to hear Tang Bai's sobbing tone anymore, so he turned away with a cold face. Tang Bai panicked and went to grab Xie Ruhang's hand, but only managed to catch Xie Ruhang's fingertips and accidentally took off his black leather gloves.

A well-boned hand with five long fingers, but with hideous burn marks, is revealed in front of the eyes.

The pale skin is covered with large bark-like scars, darker than its own skin colour, with irregular edges that look like centipedes climbing on the hands, which would be physically uncomfortable for the faint-hearted to see.

Xie Ruhang stops where he is and frowns, looking back at Tang Bai.

Although Tang Bai did not say so explicitly, the awe in Tang Bai's eyes at first sight said something, and Xie Ruhang knew that part of Tang Bai's passion for him came from a fascination with skin.

This is nothing to condemn, as most of his affection for Tang Bai is also rooted in skin.

What is called love at first sight is really just love at first sight.

Countless looks of fear, disgust, and dread that Tang Bai might have shown passed through his mind ......

But when they met, Xie Ruhang saw a softness in Tang Bai's eyes, a softness that could soothe all the dark emotions in his heart.

For a moment Xie Ruhang was in a trance, suddenly remembering that Tang Bai had looked at him with the same look when he first met him.

"I'm sorry, I ......" Tang Bai heartily handed the glove to Xie Ruhang, he wanted to say something comforting but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The book states that Xie Ruhang wore gloves all the time to cover the scars on her hands and briefly mentions the reasons for the scars.

When Xie Ruhang was young and hungry for days, he took the desperate step of stealing bread from a shop and was caught by the owner for his inexperience.

The boss tied Xie Ruhang up and poured boiling water over his hands in front of everyone in order to give a warning to the other "rats" hiding in the shadows.

It's just that Xie Ruhang doesn't cry from start to finish, which makes less noise and doesn't achieve a better warning effect.

After being scalded by boiling water, Xie Ruhang's hands were not only left unattended, but she had to go rummaging through rubbish with blistered hands, which festered badly.

When Tang Bai was reading the book, thoughts like "Oh, his hand was burned" only lightly drifted through her mind, like dust, and then dispersed in a flash.

Tang Bai was just cooking when he accidentally got splashed with hot oil and made a small red mark on his hand, so he rushed to look for a plaster, fearing that it would leave a mark.

But the best time to get rid of scars is when they are scabbed over, and after all these years, the scars on Xie Ruhang's hands are difficult to remove unless he has surgery.

Tang Bai felt the guilt of revealing a wound, and stood there helplessly, whispering "I'm sorry", before watching Xie Ruhang pick up his gloves and turn away.

As the hover car disappeared into the night, Tang Bai's nostrils flared and she was close to tears.

Director Huang patted Tang Bai's shoulder, " Little Tang, there is no grass at the end of the earth, look at Gu, he is so worried about your safety, one communication and he came over immediately, don't you want to explain to Gu?"

Tang Bai: "...... Huh?"

"As the date on your leave slip, I have a right to know where your date is. Who did you go with tonight, where did you go and what did you do?" Gu Tunan took a book out of his pocket; in an age when everyone generally used their light brains to record information, few people would have paper books to record things anymore.

Director Huang immediately gave Tang Bai a frantic "jealous, jealous, jealous" look.

Tang Bai: "......"

Tang Bai understood how this was a misunderstanding, he knew Xie Ruhang was an omega, but no one else did.

"And Xie Ruhang." Tang Bai sighed, "Exactly what was done, it's my s**t, no need to report it to you, right?"

Gu Tunan lowered his eyes and wrote the words Xie Ruhang on the paper, his voice not rising or falling: "Where did you go and what did you do?"

Tang Bai: "Gu Tunan, I was wrong about this, but you've been tormenting me a lot, I'm tired and don't want to hurt each other with you, let's stop being false fiancés-to-be from now on, okay?"

Director Huang: "!!!"

Not hearing the desired answer, Gu Tunan lifted his eyes, "The teachers of the college have placed their trust in me by entrusting you to me, and it would be remiss of me if something were to happen to you and I didn't even know where you were going or what you were doing."

At the mention of the word "dereliction of duty", Tang Bai knew he had to give an answer today.

...... Line bla.

"Slumming, something's wrong." Tang Bai said with a small frown.

The tip of the pen lurched, leaving a haloed dot of ink on the paper, "What is it?"

Tang Bai said casually, "To see the slums." That's not a bad way to put it, as it's about as bad as getting to know the people.

The nib rests on the paper, the halo of ink growing larger and larger, and Gu Tunan's tone is cold and hard: "I don't accept that reason."

Tang Bai: "......"

Gu Tunan said, word for word: "Give me reasons that will convince me."

Director Huang was helping out, "Little Tang, don't be petty, you have to make your reasons clear, not only does Gu need to know about this, the school needs to know too."

Tang Bai was really tired and didn't want to listen to Director Huang's long speech for a few hours, so she said with a wooden face, "I took it for writing a novel."

Gu Tunan asks, "What kind of novel?"

Tang Bai sighs little old man style, "A novel where the main character is an omega from the slums, I didn't want to be out of touch so I went for the material, does that make it clear enough? Can I go now?"

At these words, Gu Tunan's pen, which he was holding, made a meaningless line on the paper.

Tang Bai walked away without looking back, Director Huang hurriedly explained to Gu Tunan, "Oh Gu, don't take it to heart, Little Tang is tired today, that's why he spoke so impulsively, in fact, he likes you in his heart ......"

"Hmm."

Director Huang, who had just started a long speech, was stuck, staring at Gu Tunan in disbelief.

I know he likes me." said Gu Family's most difficult, rumoured to be frosty, top alpha, in one word.

Halfway down the road Tang Bai sneezes and rubs the tip of his reddened nose as he sees a communication from his grandfather on his light brain.

[Tang Tang Why did you go to the slum with a strange alpha today?
