CH 8

Chapter 8 - Why are you fighting?!

Tang Bai was already dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that his leave scam would be exposed on the spot. Gu Tunan who was used as a shield and the school leader, Director Huang knew that he was lying on the leave slip, so how can he take leave in the future?!

Phoenix eyes swept across the three people with different expressions, and Xie Ruheng's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

According to the scenario in Xie Ruheng's mind, Gu Tunan was Tang Bai's suitor, and he was jealous that he (XR) embraced the beauty, so he ran to Tang Bai's school gate to fight incessantly.

Thinking of this, Xie Ruheng’s eyes that were looking at Tang Bai's became softer.

This interpretation may be irresponsible, but this look is probably the protective desire of an alpha.

He used his eyes to imply that Tang Bai would solve it all by himself, and then Xie Ruheng's eyes turned to look straight at Gu Tunan, the hostility that he wanted to portray came out sharply.

Gu Tunan did not evade, his gray-blue eyes were like fire under the ice.

Tang Bai: “???”

Why do you look so weird in my eyes? Why are you keeping eye contact? What are you fighting against?!

Seeing Gu Tunan and Xie Ruheng staring at each other expressionlessly, Tang Bai only felt that the protagonist's eyes sparkled with lightning when he was facing Gu Tunan, it was full of tension. It was a world that his cannon fodder self couldn’t understand.

“Get out of the way.” Gu Tunan scolded Xie Ruheng who stood in front of Tang Bai.

Xie Ruheng not only refused to give up but also released an alphas oppression. The two’s oppression belonging to top alphas suddenly rushed together, avoiding the space where Tang Bai was located, but poor Director Huang was not so lucky, he almost knelt down.

Tang Bai: “??!?!??”

Why are you fighting?!

The blue veins on Gu Tunan's forehead were violent, and his low voice contained raging anger, “What did you do with my prospective fiancée?!”

As soon as his voice fell, the oppression released by Xie Ruheng was shaken by the word “prospective fiancée”.

Prospective fiancée?

His dream love omega is Gu Tunan's prospective fiancée?

Taking advantage of Xie Ruheng's majestic and unsteady oppression, Director Huang used Tang Bai as a crutch and tremblingly persuaded him to stand up: “Students, don't be impulsive when you encounter things--” He didn't finish his words, and saw Xie Ruheng suddenly turn around. The face that came over was blank.

The pitch-black eyes showed a trace of paranoia against his pale skin. He hugged Tang Bai’s response like a drowning man seeing the last piece of driftwood and stared directly at Tang Bai.

With such clear eyes, how can an omega with a simple temperament pick up other alphas with a prospective fiancé?

Holding the last glimmer of hope, Xie Ruheng asked Tang Bai seemingly calmly: “Is he your prospective fiance?”

Tang Bai blinked his eyes and said without hesitation: “Yes.”

Xie Ruheng: “...”

The last piece of driftwood also disappeared, and the spark of love that Xie Ruheng had just obtained was also drowned in the water of despair, completely submerged.

Love went so fast, Xie Ruheng didn't even know what kind of expression to put on, those dark phoenix eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, staring at Tang Bai numbly.

Reason tells Xie Ruheng that he should question Tang Bai at this time, asking why the other party has a prospective fiancé and still wants to tease him!

Tease! Tease! Tease! He even took away his heart!

With their eyes facing each other, Xie Ruheng saw those watery eyes, but what he thought was that if he said something serious to Tang Bai, with Tang Bai's crying character, his eyelashes would surely be like a decievement, gathering up shiny teardrops.

This scene must be a distressing imaginary scenario made out of his squeamishness.

The anger that originally wanted to raise questions like a strict teacher was mostly extinguished by the imaginary tears. Xie Ruheng stared at Tang Bai's innocent angel-like face, and desperately found that he might not be angry with this face——

This is exactly the face that grew out of his dream love O.

Also, add his cute character.

The domineering aura surrounding Xie Ruheng shattered, and all of the arrogant and domineering oppression turned into a deep frustration, almost losing its bottom.

There wasn’t a trace of expression on the handsome face, he was almost expressionless, and there was a cold and gloomy feeling in his bones.

Tang Bai looked around at the idiotic scene where Xie Ruheng suddenly lost his dream.

Is Xie Ruheng already in love with Gu Tunan at this time? That's why when he knew that he (TB) was Gu Tunan's prospective fiancée, he couldn't accept the blow and fell into a state of idiocy.

Tang Bai's rational analysis.

It’s written in the book that Xie Ruheng had a good impression of Gu Tunan for the first time. It was during their first confrontation. Gu Tunan was the first alpha to be evenly matched with him. So Xie Ruheng recognized Gu Tunan in his heart, and vaguely expressed his interest in this. The strong alpha (GT) created a good impression.

But in the book, the protagonist's opponent was in a mecha match in a training class. Why didn't he have a good opinion of that class now?

Could it be that......

The strand of dull hair cocked up, Tang Bai understood!

It's his fault! It was his invitation that allowed the protagonist to have a fight with Gu Tuanan in advance. Just now, Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan’s eye contact and oppression competition made Xie Ruheng realize that Gu Tunan is a high-quality alpha. As a result, when the good impression came about, he was taken by Gu. And then Gu Tunan informs him that he (GT) already has a prospective fiancée.

That's it, everything makes sense!

Tang Bai looked at Xie Ruheng sulking after his emotional injury, and his (TB) small face was filled with distress and guilt. Why did the light of the omegas like Gu Tunan?

Tang Bai simply couldn't figure out what Xie Ruheng liked about Gu Tunan. Although Gu Tunan is strong, no matter how strong he is, Xie Ruheng is better than him!

Imagine he (GT) can’t communicate properly? Imagine him being passionate? Imagine him being Xie Ruheng’s alpha?

This is too difficult.

Tang Bai frowned, secretly worried that Xie Ruheng's affection for Gu Tunan formed so quickly because of the enforcement of the plot.

Doesn't that mean that the plot cannot be changed, that Xie Ruheng will definitely like Gu Tunan, and will definitely die at the age of thirty-seven?

Thinking of this ending, Tang Bai clenched his small fists instantly.

No! He doesn't allow it!

The light of the omegas will live for three hundred years! To live healthier than anyone else! Who said the plot cannot be changed? He will change Xie Ruheng’s relationship line!

Tang Bai walked up to Gu Tunan aggressively, “Why are you yelling so loudly? We are just good friends hanging out together.”

Director Huang was greatly shocked by Tang Bai's quotations from good friends. Isn't this adding fuel to the fire?!

Sure enough, he listened to Gu Tunan gritted his teeth and said: “The reason for the leave written on your leave slip is to go on a date with me.”

Xie Ruheng: “......?”

Xie Ruheng, who had originally lost his soul, raised his eyelids when he heard Gu Tunan’s words and looked at the fiancé (GT) with a cool look.

Oh, it turns out that in everyone's eyes, the protagonists of this date are Gu Tunan and Tang Bai.

Obviously, it’s a date with three people, but he has no name...

Just as Xie Ruheng's expression was as dead as a statue, Tang Bai's confident answer came from his ear: “Whoever stipulates the date is written on the leave slip, it’s not that I didn't meet you.”

Xie Ruheng: "......?"

Xie Ruheng's barely calm expression finally split. Like a malfunctioning robot, he raised his head slowly, looking at Tang Bai, who was “righteously stepping on two boats”, a word suddenly popped out of his mind——

Green tea.

Green tea refers to a person who looks pure and refined, has a pitiful temperament, pretends to be harmless to humans and animals, has a peaceful but sickly, sentimental, and sad appearance as a background, and is good at scheming and playing with feelings.

Xie Ruheng understood the other meaning of the word green tea a lot because his pheromones smell like green tea, but now he could smell the tea fragrance from Tang Bai...

Could it be that the matcha-flavored macaron and the pot of green tea that Tang Bai gave him today are suggesting something?

Known similarities between Tang Bai and green tea:

Their appearance is pure and refined.

Poor temperament.

Pretends to be harmless to humans and animals.

Playing with emotions behind people’s backs.

Wait, they’re all right...

Xie Ruheng: “..............................”

Xie Ruheng finally knows what’s worse than having his dream love O have a prospective fiancé, that is, his dream love O is likely to be green tea. Even without the prospective fiancé, he can find countless similarities with Tang Bai and green tea.

Ha, ha ha ha ha...

After Tang Bai suffocated Gu Tunan into silence like usual, he turned around calmly and saw Xie Ruheng, who was also suffocated into silence.

Xie Ruheng looked frustrated, like a walking corpse struck by lightning, but a beautiful woman was a beautiful woman. Even if he loses his soul, his deep eyes are charming enough to suck away the soul of anyone.

Tang Bai leaned forward cautiously, and asked softly, “What's the matter with you? Are you in a bad mood?”

It’s okay if you didn’t ask this sentence. When you ask, you must make Xie Ruheng explode. Xie Ruheng stared at the little green tea who knew it was expressionless. When Tang Bai said this, his eyes widened, his expression unconsciously flattering and obedient.

Xie Ruheng's thin lips moved slightly as if he was trying to say something, but after he met Tang Bai's big eyes, he paused, and his (TB) curious air got stuck unanswered.

It’s stuck.

Unanswered.

I see.

Xie Ruheng: “.....”

Tang Bai's scalp became numb when Xie Ruheng's unfathomable eyes looked at him. He felt as though he was facing a big lion, and the other party was hungrily thinking about what to eat.

No, no, our light of the omegas has a noble character and cares for the weak. How can he kill the dog alpha?!

The current Xie Ruheng must be engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, considering whether to treat him as a good jimei or a plastic sister, so he must clearly explain the relationship between himself and Gu Tunan!

Tang Bai raised his small face, and said pitifully: “The relationship between us is not what you think, don't get me wrong.”

Xie Ruheng: “...............”

Director Huang couldn't bear to look onwards and turned his face away, cursing in his heart for making evil, what kind of standard green tea quotes are these?!

T/N: God damn it, just clear up the misunderstanding… T-T

Alphas oppression - ok for those who haven’t read an ABO novel before, an alphas oppression is the use of an alphas pheromones in an aggressive way. In the same paragraph, it also mentions that XR and GT are top alphas, which means that their strength and pheromones are stronger than the average alpha, beta, and especially an omega. Pheromones are something that alphas and omegas secrete from a gland on their nape (the back of the neck), betas are unable to sense it, or can slightly, it depends on the story. Pheromones can be used in an aggressive manner by alphas and omegas release them when they are in heat (like a wolf) to attract an alpha (whether the omega is willing or not). This explanation really makes me cringe but it’s the basics... (/ _ ; )

Idiotic - so, actually in the raws it was autistic, but like ??? why would it be autistic.

The strand of dull hair - nothing important, but I found out that this directly translates as 小呆毛, Xiǎo dāi máo, little dumb hair…. Lmao

Relationship line - a line (hand crease) used in palm reading. Marriage line (also relationship line or affection line) mainly reflects the situation of your marriage life, love relationship, marriage time as well as your attitude towards love. It is located below the base of the little finger just above the heart line.

Green tea - at first I thought XR was talking about the term green tea bitch but he was literally talking about green tea. The funny thing is that green tea bitch kinda fits with the situation either way. It refers to a woman who presents herself as innocent, sweet, and kind in order to approach guys who she finds useful, potentially in the sense of money, power, or purely fulfilling ( the green tea part). Yet this woman is actually calculating and all her good qualities are faked, merely in order to appeal to the guy. This woman uses many methods to achieve her goal, usually involving lying and being immoral (the bitch part). (From urban dictionary)

Pretends to be harmless to humans and animals - ok so apparently green tea is actually pretty bad for you if you drink it excessively. In some people, green tea extract can cause an upset stomach and constipation. Green tea extracts have been reported to cause liver and kidney problems in rare cases. Also, any type of tea bag that contains caffeine can kill a small dog.

Ha, ha ha ha ha… - I have no fucking clue what tangent XR is going on… I think he’s going crazy.

But a beautiful woman was a beautiful woman - I think this means that even if XR looks like a walking zombie he’s still an attractive zombie.
