Chapter 142 - TTFSO Chapter 142
When Xia Cheng Lang put Tang Liu Yuan down, the hem of his shirt was blown open by the wind, and Xia Cheng Lang’s fingers unintentionally ran across his waist and stomach, causing a slight shiver to run through him.
Xia Cheng Lang put him down on the ground and lowered his head to meet his pure eyes, the cheers from the court continued, and they stared at each other as if the world had stood still.
The smile on Tang Liu Yuan’s face had not yet faded after his shot, and his eyebrows were still arched. It was the first time Xia Cheng Lang saw him smile so happily.
Xia Cheng Lang’s gaze straightened, Tang Liu Yuan’s smile was really beautiful, so beautiful that one could not take one’s eyes off it, as if all the light in the world was concentrated in his eyebrows.
Xia Cheng Lang’s gaze grew hotter and hotter as he looked at Tang Liu Yuan. At this moment, he wanted to hug Tang Liu Yuan tightly in his arms and kiss him in front of everyone, and to hide his smile forever so that only he could see it, but luckily the referee’s whistle brought him back to his senses.
Both of them looked away almost simultaneously, their cheeks burning unconsciously, and for a moment they couldn’t tell if it was because they were tired, or because of the look they had just given each other.
The score of the basketball game was soon announced. Although the basketball that Xia Cheng Lang shot with Tang Liu Yuan in his arms was against the rules, Huang Han High School was so far ahead of the neighbouring school that no one would have cared about the one or two points.
The neighbouring school’s vice-captain elbowed their captain and asked in a lowered voice: “Are all Omega’s so fierce now? Awesome1牛逼 (niú bī): an internet slang that means awesome, refers to people or things transcend common sense or normality. In gaming, it could mean newbie. ah!”
Their captain gave him a cold glare, a dark tide in his eyes, and he hastily withdrew his voice, not daring to say more, but he could not help but look at Tang Liu Yuan with some admiration.
The basketball game was won by Huang Han High School without any suspense, and the crowd was full of joy and excitement.
After the results were announced, the players of the neighbouring school’s basketball team were so devastated by the huge difference in score that they did not recover from the defeat and hung their heads, not even looking at the Huang Han High School team. Their captain was even more calm and silent from beginning to end.
The basketball players left the court in turn and the crowd on the court gradually dispersed.
Tang Liu Yuan and Xia Cheng Lang walked to the spectator stand, and after Chen She returned their bags to them, he knew very automatically that he should leave, as he would be an abused dog anyway if he stayed any longer.
He patted Xia Cheng Lang on the shoulder and leaned over to lower his voice in his ear, “Take it easy, don’t be too rough.”
Xia Cheng Lang gave him a punch and he hurriedly ran away, still shouting to Tang Liu Yuan before he ran, “Classmate Liu Yuan, quickly control him!”
Tang Liu Yuan’s lips curled up in a faint smile as he naturally took the water handed to him by Xia Cheng Lang. As he put the water bottle to his mouth, he looked at it but froze for a moment. The water Xia Cheng Lang handed him was the same bottle he had given to Xia Cheng Lang earlier……Xia Cheng Lang had drank it before.
Xia Cheng Lang put his backpack on his own shoulder and looked at the water bottle and smiled, “Do you mind?”
Chen She is crude and careless, naturally he would not think of buying water for them, as for others, unfamiliar people giving water, Xia Cheng Lang always does not drink, over time, no one gives him water anymore, so there is only this bottle of water here.
Tang Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, shook his head, tilted his head and took a sip of the water, then handed the bottle back to Xia Cheng Lang.
Xia Cheng Lang took the water bottle, finished the rest of the water in one gulp, raised his hand in a shooting gesture and threw it into the bin.
Tang Liu Yuan watched his rolling throat, his earlobes showed a bit of crimson, and his eyes, which were always calm, were rarely a little flustered.
He lowered his eyes slightly to hide that moment of panic, reaching up to take off the jersey
he was wearing and returned it to Xia Cheng Lang.
He pursed his lips and asked: “What kind of Alpha camouflage agent did you use? The smell lasts quite a long time.”
There was a smell of Alpha on Xia Cheng Lang’s jersey, although it wasn’t strong, it lingered on the tip of his nose while he was playing. There were also Alphas among the players on the court just now, and thanks to the pheromones on this jersey, it was like an extra layer of protection for him, and he didn’t feel any discomfort in the crowd of Alphas, but it somehow made him feel at ease.
Xia Cheng Lang paused for a moment as he took the jersey, then pulled the corners of his mouth and said in a feigned manner, “My family prepared it for me, I’m also not sure.”
Tang Liu Yuan nodded and didn’t ask any more questions, as he had just asked a casually.
Seeing that he was not suspicious, Xia Cheng Lang put his mind at ease and asked with a wicked smile on his lips: “Does it smell good?”
Tang Liu Yuan thought about the clear and light smell he had just smelled and nodded slightly, “It smells pretty good.”
The corners of Xia Cheng Lang’s mouth lifted up in a curve, Tang Liu Yuan liked his pheromones, which made an Alpha excited.
He was in a happy mood as he hugged Tang Liu Yuan’s shoulders and walked outside, “Let’s hurry up and leave, or else Grandma Wang’s milk tea will run out in a while.”
The two of them took a few steps and met the basketball players from the neighbouring school standing there drinking water at the entrance of the stadium. When each of them saw the two of them coming, their eyes all sank and they stopped drinking water with a look of indignation.
The neighbouring school’s captain’s face darkened even faster than the naked eye could see, and he sneered at the two of them as he shouted in a loud voice: “Some people, don’t think that they can be arrogant just because they won once, it’s just good luck.”
Not to be outdone, his teammates behind him shouted grimly, “Those who don’t know think the basketball court is some kind of dating destination, not feeling it’s embarrassing to have your own Omega come out to play!”
The captain of the neighbouring school snorted: “To rely on an Omega when you can’t win yourself is indeed a disgrace to the Alphas!”
Instead of getting angry at his words, Xia Cheng Lang smiled proudly, he had an Omega to rely on, was there anyone more awesome than him?
The neighbouring school captain was so angry at the shameless smile on his face that he couldn’t speak, why did he feel like Xia Cheng Lang was showing off?
The others continued to curse and swear, but Xia Cheng Lang and Tang Liu Yuan didn’t bother to pay any attention to them and walked past them as if they hadn’t heard them.
The captain of the neighbouring school couldn’t stand the way they were ignoring him, so his face changed and he ran forward to block Xia Cheng Lang’s path, reaching out and pressing his shoulder to stop him from walking forward.
Xia Cheng Lang pulled up the corners of his mouth carelessly, without raising his eyes, and with a clean over-the-shoulder slam, he threw the neighbouring school captain to the ground.
The neighbouring school captain fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, his eyes blackened and he covered his shoulder, his face pale with pain.
Without looking at him, Xia Cheng Lang took Tang Liu Yuan’s hand and stepped over him.
The neighbouring school captain crawled up enduring the pain, looked at his team members, feeling disgraced, and hastily shouted with a bluff, “You wait!”
Xia Cheng Lang pursed his lips and waved his hand without looking back: “Feel free to come find your father2he’s referring to himself here. if you’re not satisfied, your father will accompany you anytime.”
The others in the neighbouring school were all indignant, but they didn’t dare to provoke him, so they could only watch as he walked away.
Tang Liu Yuan’s hand was held in Xia Cheng Lang’s, and he glanced down at their hands, which were holding each other. Xia Cheng Lang’s hand was bigger than his, and his palm was a little hot, but he didn’t hate it.
The two of them held hands, neither of them letting go, and it was only when they arrived at Grandma Wang’s stall that Xia Cheng Lang reluctantly let go of his hand, knowing that if he didn’t, Tang Liu Yuan would be shy.
Grandma Wang looked at the two of them with eyes full of relief and handed them the milk tea with a smile.
The two stood in the same place and talked with Grandma Wang for a while. The group of people from the neighbouring school came out supporting their captain. Xia Cheng Lang’s over-the-shoulder fall just now must have caused the captain of the neighbouring school to fall quite badly, he kept supporting his shoulders, it looked painful. When a group of them passed by Tang Liu Yuan and Xia Cheng Lang, they glared at them, but after all, they didn’t dare to provoke them again and walked away with their heads drooping.
Tang Liu Yuan bit into his straw and watched them walk away, turning his head to look at Xia Cheng Lang with some suspicion and asked: “I saw that you were quite strong when you dropped him just now, how come you were so weak before?”
“……” Xia Cheng Lang took a heartfelt sip of milk tea, “I……I was worried that they would find us for trouble again, so I held on hard, in fact I don’t even have the strength to walk now.”
Tang Liu Yuan looked up at him, Xia Cheng Lang hurriedly pounded his legs, smiled curtly and said: “Let’s find a place to rest for a while.”
Tang Liu Yuan nodded, looked around, pointed to a spot in the sports field and said: “Let’s go sit at the railings for a while.”
“En……” Xia Cheng Lang took a few steps and pretended to stumble, his voice weakening, “I can’t walk, you support me.”
Tang Liu Yuan sighed and reached out to hold him, “Walk slowly.”
Xia Cheng Lang took the opportunity to lean on Tang Liu Yuan’s body and said breathlessly: “My legs are heavy and painful, and I don’t know if I’ll have the strength to come to school tomorrow.”
“Does it really hurt that much?” Tang Liu Yuan’s voice softened.
“En.” Xia Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows, his voice was weak and didn’t match his expression, “It’s especially painful and tiring, playing basketball is so hard.”
Tang Liu Yuan frowned: “Your body is too weak, no wonder you can’t even unscrew the cap of a bottle, start exercising with me tomorrow.”
Xia Cheng Lang smiled, “Let’s wait until after the college entrance exams.”
He couldn’t delay Tang Liu Yuan’s studies at this time now, after the college entrance exams were over, he could let Tang Liu Yuan accompany him every day.
Tang Liu Yuan nodded and agreed, but there was a hint of unknown fear about the future after the college entrance examination.
After the college entrance exams……how long could he and Xia Cheng Lang stay together like this ? Different schools, different environments, perhaps Xia Cheng Lang would soon forget about him, and looking back, they had only known each other for a short year, and how long could it stay in Xia Cheng Lang’s memory.
There was an unspeakable loss in his heart, he thought about it and couldn’t help but whispered: “Don’t be too impulsive in the future, even if you encounter something like today, don’t act if you can, after all it’s hard to guard against small people, you can’t have someone following you all the time, it’s better to be careful, and don’t provoke trouble if you can. ”
Xia Cheng Lang listened to his words as if they were about to be separated, he couldn’t help but frown, “This is my character, I can’t change, if you are worried about me, then stay with me all the time, as long as you stay with me, I will listen to you, I will listen to you for everything.”
Xia Cheng Lang’s last words were spoken with a tone of seriousness that he himself hadn’t noticed.
Tang Liu Yuan was amused by his righteousness, temporarily forgetting the bit of sadness of the impending separation and smiling slightly as he said: “Will there be any Alpha willing to be with you in the future if you’re like this?”
The two arrived at the railing and Xia Cheng Lang jumped onto the railing and sat down, saying in a tone that seemed genuine, “Yeah, no one wants me, why don’t you take me in?”
“En?” Tang Liu Yuan froze for a moment and looked up at him.
Xia Cheng Lang lowered his head, his gaze deep, his voice containing a hint of nervousness, “How about you and I get together? Don’t you like Omega?”
Tang Liu Yuan’s breath stalled slightly, he did say that he liked Omega, but that was a random excuse he made to get rid of those who were stalking and pursuing him, in fact, it didn’t matter to him whether his partner was Alpha, Beta or Omega, what mattered was the person.
He raised his eyes to look at Xia Cheng Lang, the broken hair on his forehead had been smoothed back behind his head when he was playing basketball earlier, revealing a sleek, full forehead. His hair was clean and crisp, his nose was high, his narrow eyes were bright and dazzling, and the setting sun reflected on his face, casting a small shadow that made his contours even more distinct.
He could tell that Xia Cheng Lang was serious and was not joking.
Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes were slightly downcast and he did not answer, and Xia Cheng Lang did not urge him on. The two of them stayed quietly, with only the breeze floating between them.
Xia Cheng Lang sat on the cold railing, looking up at the red clouds not far away. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he suddenly said in a loud voice: “Tang Liu Yuan, if I can get into the same university as you, you and I be together ok?”
Tang Liu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at him quietly, with Xia Cheng Lang’s current grades, wanting to get into the same school as him was almost impossible, but……who could say it is a certainty?
The corners of Tang Liu Yuan’s mouth curved up, turned around and lifted his steps, “I’m going home first.”
“Eh?” Xia Cheng Lang was startled, retracted his eyes, looked down at him, saw that he had really left, jumped down the railing in panic, stared at his back, tugged at his neck and shouted: “You haven’t answered me yet!”
“……Ok.”
Tang Liu Yuan did not turn back, nor did he stop, but his clear, cold voice came clearly along with the breeze.
Xia Cheng Lang stood frozen in place for a moment, and abruptly giggled alone.
