CH 72

Tang Bai walked to a deserted corner, covered her red face with her hands and squatted down limply.

He didn't know what had just happened to him, he had meant to call out to Xiao Cheng, to tell him that he only saw Xie Ruhang as a friend and an idol, so that the other man wouldn't get the wrong idea.

After all, Xie Ruhang was in the eyes of everyone else as an alpha, and he was a little afraid that Xiao Cheng might get the wrong idea when he was being so nice to Xie Ruhang.

When he saw Xiao Cheng turn around, his face was not very far away from him, as if he could reach it with a little effort on his tiptoes, Tang Bai kissed it by accident.

Is it because of the temporary marker? The temporary mark was too strong an attraction for him to be prepared ......

Well, I can't say I was unprepared!

Tang Bai was afraid that Xiao Cheng would kiss him on this date, so he just sprayed strawberry kissing spray in the changing room, but Tang Bai imagined that it was actually Xiao Cheng who wanted to kiss him, so how did he take the initiative? ......

The amber eyes that peek out between the fingers are filled with a flowing honey syrup, and the thin red at the end of them is like pink candyfloss, soft and sweet.

"Ding dong~"

Tang Bai removes the hand covering her face and shyly taps on the communication, and when she sees that the caller is Cheng Wenhui, her white and red face falls down.

"Hello?" Tang Bai said listlessly.

" Tang Bai, you left your water cup in the teacher's office."

Tang Bai said slowly, "Oh, I see, then could you please bring it to me in class tomorrow?"

Hanging up the communication, Tang Bai rubbed her face and got up to go to the Etiquette Institute.

He was going to cook some food himself, half for the mech department and half for the mechanical department, using the food to get votes.

But how many servings to make? To make a dessert or to make something?

Tang Bai was still pondering these questions before she opened the door to her dorm room, and when she did, she saw a room full of young omega's gathered around her, with a kind and smiling Director Huang at the centre.

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

Day 2.

At the end of the morning session, as Professor Li walked off the podium, Tang Bai suddenly stood up and approached the podium and enthusiastically said to the class, "It's lunchtime, I'd like to treat you all to lunch today ~"

There was a cheer from the class as the young omega's from the Etiquette Academy came to bring Tang Bai lunch every day, sometimes Tang Bai would share some dessert with them, but the wolves were few and far between and there were many cadets who had not grabbed the exquisite love lunch so far.

Tang Bai meant that everyone could eat openly, and the crowd asked where and what was for lunch.

Bai Li sat expressionlessly in his seat and turned his pen, not cheering or refusing.

Tang Bai's eyes swept over the faces of his classmates and the smile on his face became sweeter and sweeter, "Please come and eat at our Federal Military Academy canteen~"

The cadets: "?!"

"No way, I don't want to eat the canteen." A certain alpha who was following the large group screamed, "The training meals are like pig food, those chefs are veterans who have retired from the army, they don't care how it tastes, and they talk about remembering what it's like, I thought I would get to eat fragrant and soft omega made meals ......"

The companion who listened to his whining grimaced, "If you don't want a training meal then you're heading for the canteen now?"

The chattering alpha suddenly blushed in confusion, "That ...... I could eat two more bowls of rice looking at Tang Bai's face."

"Great." His companion solemnly patted him on the shoulder, "And I'm counting on you for that bowl of rice!"

"Rolling ...... Huh, why are so many people heading to the canteen?"

The road leading from the school building to the canteen can be a crowded one, and it was a bizarre scene.

You know that the training meals in the Federal Military Academy's canteen are known as the devil's cooking, and if it weren't for the school's ban on takeaway deliveries, coupled with the heavy academic and training commitments that leave cadets too busy to cook for themselves, people wouldn't want to set foot here.

Is it a free lunch?

There are times when canteens are afraid of not selling their meals and wasting food, so they will do free lunch events.

Or is there a delivery of expensive ingredients?

The Federal Military Academy is, after all, the best university in the Federation, and from time to time all sorts of expensive ingredients are sent over for sale at low prices. Those higher ingredients do not require much cooking skills and are delicious even when steamed.

The crowd walked into the canteen full of suspicion, and when they witnessed the fantastic scene before them, their tiger bodies shook with realization -

The window with the longest queue was not filled with strapping, fierce veterans, but with little omega's wearing lace-trimmed aprons!!!

"As you can see, the culinary students from the Etiquette Academy are preparing for a week's internship at the Federal Military Academy's cafeteria~" Tang Bai folded her hands together and said in a sweet and contented tone, "I heard that today they are making stir-fried sliced pork, sweet and sour carp, and Kung Pao chicken ...... "

For the first time, the cafeteria was filled with the delicious aroma of the dishes, and the already gluttonous crowd began to gulp down the names of the dishes Tang Bai had announced.

"But the queue is so long." Rong Yao saw that the queue at the window where the Etiquette College omega's were lined up to the stairs of the canteen, and it looked like it could have been even longer.

"We don't need to queue da." Tang Bai said brightly, "I spoke to them in advance, there are thirty students in our class and they have prepared thirty lunches."

There was an outcry from the mechanical class and several alpha students volunteered to help Tang Bai with the lunch.

" Tang Bai!" Tong Meng waved to Tang Bai and when Tang Bai came up, he said to Tang Bai, "There are too many people in the queue, we don't have enough food, we will probably run out of food in half an hour, and the freshly fried food will keep people waiting for a long time, what should we do?"

"Two of you go and tell the people in the queue that they don't have enough food and to queue at another window, and then we'll get four or five students to help at another window." Tang Bai looked over at the other five cold windows, where grandpas were straining their necks to see where the Etiquette College was in charge, looking strangely miserable.

"We can help these grandpas make little desserts and have the desserts sold with the meals they can't sell."

Tang Bai was afraid that everyone would be too busy, so he put on his apron and went to the window to help.

"May I ask what you would like to eat, this student?" Tang Bai asked sweetly in a sheepish tone, still carrying the cold pheromones and a powerful pressure that had an excellent calming effect.

The cadet who had been ogling the omega's suddenly went blank, his thoughts of conversation stuck in his throat, "All, all."

"How about the sweet and sour carp? It's crispy on the outside, sweet and sour on the inside, and has a good meaning of fish jumping over the dragon's gate.

"Yes, yes." The alpha's legs were trembling and his heart was racing, thinking, "Could this be what it feels like to have a heartbeat? But why did he want to run away now!

"By the way, I see your uniform, you must be a student of the Mecha Department, right?" Tang Bai said softly, "If you vote for Xie Ruhang in the chief poll, I can give you a free small dessert, yo~"

The pretty little omega smiled brightly at him, her amber eyes as sweet as honey, but the powerful pressure made the cadet want to fall to his knees and sing congratulations, and he faltered, "I'll vote now!"

After sending the cadet off, Tang Bai smiled to Tong Meng, who was standing by, "The little dessert turned out really well."

Tong Meng: "......" It's the pheromones in you that are horrible oi!

Looking at Tang Bai who only canvassed for Xie Ruhang, Tong Meng and the other omega's have said to the cadets hitting the rice bowl, "Hello, if you have voted for Tang Bai from the Mechanical Department, we can give you a free small dessert here ......"

The Beauty with Food tactic yielded significant results, with Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang seeing their votes go up significantly in just twenty minutes.

"May I ask you to order ......?" Tang Bai stopped in mid-sentence when he realised that there was no one else standing in front of him but Gu Tunan.

With many mixed emotions in his grey-blue eyes, Gu Tunan looked at him unblinkingly and whispered, "I would like to order one of your dishes."

"Sorry, I was in class in the morning and didn't have time to cook, so I only made dessert in advance, but dessert is not for sale." Tang Bai said softly, "If you vote for Xie Ruhang from the mech department, we can give you a free small dessert oh."

Each person had two votes, Gu Tunan gave himself a vote but told him to vote the rest for his love interest ......

He gazed down at a row of colourful macarons, a dessert he had never been much of a fan of, so sweet it was cloying and could be eaten slowly with black tea to while away the afternoon.

Gu Tunan doesn't waste much time on food, and the first time he took a bite of a macaron, he cringed at the cloyingly sweet flavour.

He doesn't like to eat them.

Once upon a time Tang Bai would not even offer to try one of these things when he gave them to him ......

"Vote for it." Gu Tunan shows the humiliating voting interface to Tang Bai.

Tang Bai: "?"

Why do you have to look like you're holding back when you're giving your protagonist a vote, when it's clear I'm the one who's losing out, right?

"Twenty star coins, please pay here." Tang Bai said and said to the next alpha, "Hello student, what would you like to eat?"

Gu Tunan got a small macaroon as expected and a set meal of sweet and sour carp on the recommendation of Tang Bai.

In fact, he doesn't like to eat such things that are on the sweet side.

Just as he didn't like Tang Bai at first with his sugary smile.

Gu Tunan sits at the table, he takes a quiet taste, why can't he feel much sweetness now?

Maybe it's too sour.

The smell of Tang Bai's other alpha made his tongue to his heart sour to the point of bitterness.

The last time he saw the back of Xie Ruhang and Tang Bai leaving together at the slum graffiti, I think that was the time Xie Ruhang temporarily tagged Tang Bai?

A cold, slightly tea-infused pheromone taints the sweet, soft, milky flavour.

If he had realized Tang Bai's goodness earlier, and had been gentle and considerate to Tang Bai from the beginning, and respected Tang Bai's ideas, wouldn't Tang Bai have said to everyone, "If you vote for Gu Tunan of the Mecha Department, we will give you a free dessert"?

He can race in a mech designed for him by Tang Bai himself and can make Tang Bai smell like him ......

Gu Tunan looked away from Tang Bai, who was still busy at the window, with a growing sense of remorse in his heart. What is remorse, what is remorse, how could he have treated Tang Bai so badly at that time?

It's obvious he met Tang Bai first ......

Gu Tunan is immersed in his own little theatre of emotions, watching Tang Bai as if he were a rock.

He saw Tang Bai treating everyone with the same polite attitude until a mediocre alpha appeared.

The moment the other man appeared, Tang Bai's expression suddenly changed, from a light smile with a sense of detachment to an overly bright one, so bright that it pierced Gu Tunan's eyes.

Such a sweet smile was never shown even by Tang Bai when she faced Xie Ruhang.

What Tang Bai did next surprised Gu Tunan by loading the alpha with desserts and smiling as he piled the dishes into a mountain.

As he looked at the affectionate Tang Bai, Gu Tunan's heart set alarm bells ringing and a bold idea came to his mind.

Could it be that ...... Could it be that ......

Maybe I can get a chance to sniff Xie Ruhang's pheromones to confirm.

Gu Tunan thinks critically.
