Chapter 134 - TTFSO Chapter 134
When school ended the next day, Tang Qi Yuan still had to stay behind to tutor Sheng Cen, so Tang Liu Yuan left on his own first, anyway Sheng Cen would send him home afterwards.
Tang Liu Yuan bought a cup of milk tea in front of the school. Grandma Wang at the entrance had been selling milk tea here for many years, it is not some chain brand, but the taste was fragrant and sweet. Tang Liu Yuan always likes to buy a cup when passing by.
Because Tang Liu Yuan always came here to buy, Grandma Wang was always extra generous with the ingredients, and Tang Liu Yuan thanked her and a faint smile appeared on his cold face.
He was holding the milk tea and before he had time to take a sip, he heard a sound of pushing and shoving as he walked around the corner. He only paused for a moment and then continued on his way, unconcerned. At the age of high school, people are full of vigour and vitality. Students are together day and night, forming gangs, and friction is inevitable. Therefore, there are many of these students who find a place to fight after school, and he has long been used to it.
He took a couple of steps and then suddenly stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowing involuntarily.
His nose twitched slightly, and there was a puff of Omega pheromones coming through, which smelled sweet and refreshing, a little sweeter than the normal Omega smell, and along with this pheromone, there were several Alpha’s smells. These Alpha’s smells were strong, if there was really an Omega inside, they must not be able to stand such a strong pheromone impact.
Tang Liu Yuan took a few steps towards the inside, the more he walked the stronger the smell became, and the deeper his frown became. What he loathed most was Alphas using their strong physical advantage to bully Omegas. His biggest dream was to help the Omegas break the weak physical disadvantage, help the Omegas become strong and no longer become dependent on the Alphas, so he was extraordinarily disgusted with this kind of thing.
He continued to walk in with a stony expression until he reached the end, and indeed saw several Alphas surrounding a man in the middle. The man was crouched on the ground, Tang Liu Yuan was blocked from view by the crowd and could not see him, but could smell his fragrant Omega scent.
The man at the head of the crowd looked stunned for a moment when he saw Tang Liu Yuan, but he quickly regained his composure, revealing his gangly appearance and looked Tang Liu Yuan up and down for a few moments, “What’s the matter? Can’t you see Lao Zi1老子 (lǎo zi): father/old man, also an arrogant way of referring to oneself. is busy?”
These guys were big and tall, and judging from their clothes and age, they should not be from the school, but from society outside school, whereas the Omega who was squatting on the ground was wearing the uniform of the Huang Han High School, so he should be a student from the school.
Tang Liu Yuan looked at the logo of the school uniform on Omega, his brow furrowed even more and his tone showed his disgust, “You few adults bullying a student, and an Omega at that, don’t you feel shame?”
“What’s it got to do with you?” The man sneered gruffly, “Lao Zi has lived so long, I’ve never learnt how to write the word shame!”
Tang Liu Yuan gave him a cold look, not moved by his vulgar words, but took out his mobile phone and shook it, saying in a flat voice: “I’ve just called the police, they’ll be here soon.”
It was a hot day and he was too lazy to do anything about it, moreover he still had the milk tea that Grandma Wang had worked so hard to make in his hands. If he had to fight, he would definitely spill the milk tea, and good milk tea can’t be wasted just like this.
The men panicked at his words, and after looking at each other, the man at the head spat and pointed at Tang Liu Yuan and said viciously: “Stinky brat, you wait for me, Lao Zi will find you to settle the scores.”
He waved his hand to the others behind him, “Go!”
The group followed him, cursing a few expletives under their breath as they flew out of the dimly lit alleyway.
Tang Liu Yuan put away his mobile phone, it was best if they could leave quickly to save trouble, he lowered his eyes and extended his hand towards the Omega who was crouching on the ground, “Can you stand up?”
The Omega hesitated for a moment and put his hand in his, clasping his hand back.
Tang Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, Omega’s hand was surprisingly much bigger than his, clasping his hand like this, it was like holding his hand in his palm, moreover this Omega’s strength was also greater than the average Omega. He raised his eyebrows, his hand exerted force before pulling the person up.
Once the Omega stood up, he realised that not only was this Omega’s hand bigger than his, he was also taller than him, and he had to look up slightly to get a good look at the Omega’s face.
Once he got a good look at the Omega’s face, Tang Liu Yuan’s expression changed slightly and his eyebrows knitted, “It’s you?”
Xia Cheng Lang looked at him with the same surprised expression, then slowly blossomed into a somewhat shy smile and said in a grateful tone: “Classmate Tang, thank you for saving me, if it wasn’t for your sudden appearance, I really don’t know what I to do.”
Tang Liu Yuan froze for half a second, and after confirming that Omega’s scent really came from him, he couldn’t help being stunned and asked: “You’re an Omega?”
Hearing his words, Xia Cheng Lang sniffed the pheromones on his body with some surprise and panic, and after smelling the Omega smell on himself, he gave Tang Liu Yuan a sheepish glance, revealing a torn look, and after a moment, as if making up his mind, he pursed his lips and said, “Since you’ve already found out, I’ll be honest, I am indeed Omega……”
Tang Liu Yuan looked at his angular face and tall body and couldn’t help but be a little surprised, Omegas looks are generally softer and their limbs are more slender, a hard Omega like Xia Cheng Lang is really uncommon.
“……Aren’t you an Alpha?” He couldn’t help but be a little surprised, for so many years everyone had known that the heir to the Xia family was an Alpha, how could he suddenly become an Omega?
Xia Cheng Lang pursed his lips, lowered his head and did not look at Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes, just explained in a low voice: “You also know that my parents passed away early, only Grandpa and I were left at home, Grandpa was worried that I will be bullied, in order to protect me, that’s why he declared to the public that I was an Alpha…… ”
Xia Cheng Lang stopped at the right time and did not say more, leaving room for imagination.
Tang Liu Yuan nodded a little and did not ask more questions, any further questions would have to involve the family and His Majesty, he and Xia Cheng Lang were not close enough to speak about private matters, and before yesterday, he and Xia Cheng Lang could be said to be strangers. Today, they had only spoken a few words more than strangers, not to mention that the corner of Xia Cheng Lang’s mouth still bore the wound he had inflicted with his own hands yesterday.
At the end of the day, Xia Cheng Lang was just an insignificant person to him, whether he was an Alpha or an Omega was irrelevant.
“I’ll help you keep your secret.” Tang Liu Yuan was not a talkative person in the first place, and since he had unintentionally found out Xia Cheng Lang’s secret, he automatically consciously kept it to himself.
“En.” Xia Cheng Lang smiled, Tang Liu Yuan seemed to be easier to get along with than he thought, “Right, you just said that the police will be here soon……”
“I lied to them.” Tang Liu Yuan reached out and picked up the school bag on the ground, patting the dust that had gotten on it, then threw it into his arms, raising his eyes slightly and asking: “Can you walk?”
Xia Cheng Lang shook his head, showing a weak expression, “My legs are weak……”
It was normal for an Omega to have weak legs after being surrounded by a group of Alpha and Beta for so long.
Tang Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked: “Do you want me to carry you?”
Xia Cheng Lang looked at his body, which was a size smaller than his own, shook his head conscientiously and said: “No need, let me relax for a while, I can walk by myself.”
Tang Liu Yuan looked at his slightly sweaty forehead and felt a bit of pity for him. Some of his older brothers were also pretending to be a Beta, so he knew the hard work involved. It was not easy to pretend to be a Beta, it should have been even more difficult for Xia Cheng Lang to pretend to be an Alpha for so many years. He thought for a while, handed over the milk tea in his hand and said bluntly: “Give it to you.”
Xia Cheng Lang looked at the milk tea and froze for a moment, then the corners of his mouth bloomed into a curve as he took it over, “Thank you.”
He inserted the straw into the cup and took a sip, the milk tea was full of sugar and ice, he didn’t expect Tang Liu Yuan to look cold but have tastes like a child, he couldn’t help but smile, handed the milk tea over, deliberately looked at Tang Liu Yuan with a smile and asked: “It’s delicious, do you want to have a sip too?”
Tang Liu Yuan looked at the straw he had drunk from and calmly shook his head, “No need.”
Xia Cheng Lang looked at the thin layer of pink on his white ears and took back the milk tea with satisfaction, the smile on his lips deepened, teasing the little ice beauty for the first time felt good.
“I’ll leave first.” Tang Liu Yuan said, he didn’t know Xia Cheng Lang well after all, there was nothing to say if he stayed here, and since Xia Cheng Lang was safe, he could leave too.
Xia Cheng Lang’s heart panicked and he hurriedly reached out to pull him back, and only after his slightly cold gaze looked over did he hastily let go of his hand, “That……I still have one more thing I want to ask you for a favour……”
“What is it?” Tang Liu Yuan looked up at him, standing close like this, Xia Cheng Lang’s long figure was even more conspicuous, a full half head taller than him.
Xia Cheng Lang was satisfied with the distance between them, it was difficult for an Alpha to get within a metre of Tang Liu Yuan? Apparently he had crossed that safety line.
His hands rubbed against his clothes and he looked a little nervous as he said: “My clothes are dirty and the smell of Alphas is still on my body, Grandpa will worry about me if I go home looking like this.”
Tang Liu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at him carefully, his clothes were covered in some dust, his hair was also a bit messy and he smelled of all kinds of Alphas, going home in this state would indeed make the old man worry.
“I want to take a shower before I go home……” Xia Cheng Lang spoke with the intention of trying, he spoke hesitantly and stammered, but his gaze was full of expectation as he looked towards Tang Liu Yuan.
Chen She had already investigated for him, General Tang’s home was far from the school, so when Tang Liu Yuan was in his second year of high school, General Tang bought him and Tang Qi Yuan a house nearby, allowing them to move in together.
Unfortunately, Tang Liu Yuan did not think towards his own house, but thought that Xia Cheng Lang was embarrassed to ask for money to borrow because his money had been robbed by the gang earlier, and that was why he stammered in his speech.
Without hesitation, he took his wallet out of his backpack and handed it to Xia Cheng Lang, saying, “Go find a place to shower nearby and buy another change of clothes.”
“……” Xia Cheng Lang took his wallet and was silent for a moment, shoved it back into his hand and spoke: “I have money on me, it’s just that I’m not used to showering in a public places and I’m worried that people will find out about me being an Omega, you……I heard that your house is nearby, can you lend me the bathroom to take a shower?”
Tang Liu Yuan wrinkled his brow for a moment, as if pondering whether he should take Xia Cheng Lang home.
Xia Cheng Lang observed his face and spoke up at the right time, “Grandpa is getting older and his health is getting worse, if he knew I was being bullied at school, he would be very worried about me……”
Tang Liu Yuan pondered for a moment. Anyway, Xia Cheng Lang is an Omega, so it doesn’t matter if he takes him home. He hit Xia Cheng Lang yesterday and he was somewhat impulsive, he was not used to saying sorry, but he liked to express his apologies through actions. As for Xia Cheng Lang, if Xia Cheng Lang had other plans in going home with him and wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate against him, he was also confident that he could at least draw a tie with Xia Cheng Lang.
He pursed his lips and looked at Xia Cheng Lang as he finally made up his mind, “Then……ok ba, my house is quite close, it’s just a five minute walk.”
“Thank you.” Xia Cheng Lang’s eyes faintly flashed with a hint of surprise, and his voice was raised a few points happily, the icy but kind Omega was really cute.1老子 (lǎo zi): father/old man, also an arrogant way of referring to oneself.
