Chapter 4 - We Are Too Close

Chapter 4: We Are Too Close

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

‘Mr. She must have fought really hard to keep standing posture just now. If he has healed, he wouldn’t have collapsed into my arms,’ Ruan Bai thought.

With one arm around She Yuan’s waist, Ruan Bai walked She Yuan off the teaching building. Then he followed She Yuan’s instructions to the parking lot.

“Mr. She, which is your car? Let me drive you home.”

She Yuan’s jeep was about a metre away from him. He cast a glance at the car with an indifferent expression on his face, and then looked down at Ruan Bai in his arms with narrowed eyes.

“Sorry, I don’t have my car with me. So, we have to walk back.”

“Ah? Walk back?”

She Yuan nodded affirmatively, “I have a flat in our school’s family dormitory building. It’s not far away. We can go there directly.”

Without hesitation, Ruan Bai left the parking lot with She Yuan. The two men walked slowly towards the family dormitory building.

As a superior Omega, Ruan Bai had an attractive face. Even though he stayed in the laboratory all the year round, he was still popular in the school.

They two hugged each other and walked across the campus. Students who saw them were all stunned.

However, Ruan Bai didn’t notice that because he was only focused on She Yuan’s broken leg.

She Yuan frowned discontentedly, unbuttoned his coat and enveloped Ruan Bai in it to insulate him from the stares of people around.

Ruan Bai didn’t have a boyfriend because he was always obsessed with scientific researches. So he hadn’t ever had a close contact with any Alphas. Or rather, he hadn’t ever walked hand in hand with any men. With his face against She Yuan’s chest, Ruan Bai smelled the Alpha’s overpowering pheromones. His ears reddened at once and he even let out a groan.

“Ah~”

She Yuan seemed not to notice Ruan Bai’s physical changes, and asked, “What’s the matter with you?”

Ruan Bai raised his hand and tried to push She Yuan away. “Mr. She, you… We’re too close.”

She Yuan explained, poker-faced, “You are too short. I will feel uncomfortable and can’t walk smoothly if I keep you at arm’s length.”

Ruan Bai raised his head and realized that he was much shorter than She Yuan. With resignation, he nodded. ‘Anyway, Alphas’s physical qualities are much better than Omegas’. I shouldn’t compare myself with him,’ he thought.

After crossing the campus, there was still a long distance to the school’s family dormitory building. They two sank into silence and felt embarrassed.

Ruan Bai was a shy and retiring person, but this time he took the initiative to break the ice and tried to get closer to Professor She.

“Mr. She, are your lessons difficult? I’m interested in law. Can I go to your law class?” asked Ruan Bai.

She Yuan answered, “My lessons are not difficult. If you want to study law, I will help you make up the missed lessons.”

‘What? Don’t you realize that I was just making the ritual noises? I don’t want to make up the missed lessons at all,’ Ruan Bai thought.

“Haha… Thank you, Mr. She. I will ask for your help when I’m free.”

After that, they both remained silent for a while. Then Ruan Bai braced himself to change the subject, “Mr. She, you have been injured. Shall I call your family and ask them to come here to look after you? Or shall I hire a health care worker for you?”

“My parents are abroad. It’s not convenient for me to hire a health care worker. Er, are you free recently?” asked She Yuan.

Ruan Bai sensed She Yuan’s intention and stammered, “… Ah… I… I’m busy with my studies…”

“When you are free, come to my home and take care of me. By the way, I have your class schedule.”

Ruan Bai nodded reluctantly and gave up talking to She Yuan. ‘I will never be a social animal because I lack social skills,’ he thought.

She Yuan put his arms around Ruan Bai’s neck and treated Ruan Bai as a walking stick. He didn’t let go of Ruan Bai until he reached his door.

When Ruan Bai got out of She Yuan’s arms, he felt dizzy and disoriented.

She Yuan pinched Ruan Bai’s white creamy cheek and said, “Wake up. We got home.”
