Jiang Yunshu understood what Zhou Zhaoyu meant when he said “his emotions are in shambles” after leaving the hospital.
They continued to hold hands. Bai Tang had puffy eyes, a red nose from crying and his sweat-soaked bangs were standing on end. He seemed to be completely oblivious of everything around him as he stared absent-mindedly at the floor, completely engrossed in his own world. He aimlessly walked on as the hand guided him.
It would take a long time to regain the normal, energetic appearance after making it out of the state of shrunken fear. He was now as wooden as a puppet.
Jiang Yunshu was worried as he watched Bai Tang walk along step by step, but he couldn’t intervene. This was Bai Tang’s self-defence mechanism.
He could only accompany Bai Tang and wait for him to recover on his own.
He decided it would be better to go for a walk and get some fresh air, so he bowed slightly and asked, “Bai Tang, I just received notification that my request for a name change has been approved. The Public Security Bureau happens to be located near the hospital. Would you like to accompany me?”
Bai Tang seemed to have not heard him, as evidenced by his dulled eyes and immobile state.
Jiang Yunshu shook their hands, and when he noticed that he raised his head, Jiang Yunshu verbatim repeated what he said.
Bai Tang’s mind spun slowly, muttering, “Name, change name, Shu…”
“Mhm,” Jiang Yunshu replied. “From now on, it’s my name that will be on the ID card, household registration booklet and marriage certificate.”
This sentence elicited a reaction from Bai Tang. As he did so, he locked eyes with the alpha and clenched Jiang Yunshu’s hand. “I’ll go.”
The temperature in the palm of his hand gradually warmed up. Jiang Yunshu frowned. “Then let’s go.”
The Public Security Bureau was about a mile from the hospital. In addition to the relatively mild temperature, the abundance of trees on either side provided welcome shade. The two walked together slowly. Bai Tang seemed to be recovering, but the flush in his cheeks had yet to disappear. When he looked around, a ray of sunlight fell on the bridge of his nose. “I haven’t walked on the road like this in a long time,” he said hoarsely.
Jiang Yunshu said, “If you want to go shopping, just tell me. I will accompany you.”
A cyclist was approaching them on a bicycle. After grabbing Bai Tang’s shoulders and letting him lean closer to his side, he became aware of the cyclist’s staring at Bai Tang. The cyclist even turned his head as he rode ahead, continuing to stare at Bai Tang.
The expression on Jiang Yunshu’s face changed, and he looked with displeasure. The man returned his gaze and rode away.

Since this was the time when most people were leaving from work or school, the traffic was particularly heavy. When they arrived at the main street, the influx of people increased drastically , accompanied by the sound of cars, clamouring of the crowd, the roar of the train and people passing by in pairs and trios.

“Is that an omega? Oh my god he’s really beautiful…”
“Fuck, the idol I’m chasing looks good!”
“An omega in the flesh? It’s the first time I’ve seen one. Can I post it on Moments?”
Jiang Yunshu frowned and was about to pull Bai Tang over to let him stand on the side of the road, when a group of beta students who looked like middle and high schoolers came over carrying school bags on their backs. One of them leaned into their companion’s ear and spoke, but his voice wasn’t low at all. “Hey hey guys, look at that omega. His face is so red, he looks like he’s just done that hehehe.”
His tone was very nasty. It was appalling.
The uneasiness that Bai Tang had been enduring erupted. His face was full of panic. He turned his head to confirm the alpha’s expression several times, and hypnotised himself inwardly, “This is Angel…Angel Jiang.”
He felt a tug on his hand, and then a warm, dry touch settled over his right ear. He turned around to see Jiang Yunshu frozen in place with a cold expression, his sharp jaw protruding, and a sharp jawline. He gave those students a cold stare.
When the alpha’s face turned cold, his aura became terrifying. They were only betas, after all, and they had no intention of upsetting the alpha. They couldn’t fight him and couldn’t take the risk. Even the law was on the alphas’ side. Those students immediately fell silent, and then walked two steps faster.
Jiang Yunshu put down his hand covering Bai Tang’s ear, and his tone was not very good as he spoke, “Let’s take a taxi back to the hospital and then use the car to go to the Public Security Bureau.”
Bai Tang pursed his lips and obediently followed. The urge to rub his earlobe arose after he had gone only a short distance. It was incredibly hot and itchy.
When they sat in the back seat of the taxi, the driver would occasionally glance at Bai Tang through the rearview mirror. Jiang Yunshu asked unceremoniously, “What are you looking at?”
The driver instantly sat up straight, then stared ahead.
Jiang Yunshu took a deep breath. He wasn’t the kind of person who’d easily get angry, and as a doctor, he’d met various kinds of people who’d open their mouths a lot.
Bai Tang was sitting on the other side with his head against the back of the front seat, looking at the alpha without blinking, and when he saw the alpha looking over, he spread his palms.
He was trying to comfort Jiang Yunshu.
Suddenly, the omega spoke, “…Do you wanna hold hands?”
Jiang Yunshu assumed Bai Tang felt invaded and afraid. He looked down. The fingers before him were pale and slender, but they bore fine scars from housework and injuries.
Bai Tang was taken aback, and then quickly came to the realisation that his hands were ugly. He curled his fingers and tried to pull them back.
Jiang Yunshu grabbed it.
Their hands intertwined and hung down, landing on the middle seat.
In about five minutes, they let go of their hands, got out of the taxi at the hospital entrance, and got in their own car.
Bai Tang looked at the alpha in the driver’s seat, whose facial muscles were still tense, and whispered, “Don’t be angry.”
Jiang Yunshu sighed softly, “I’m not angry.”
Still frowning, Bai Tang muttered, “Liar.”
“I’m sorry,” Jiang Yunshu apologised, saying, “I had no idea it would turn out this way. I hope you don’t let this bother you.”
Bai Tang sat on the co-pilot. He buckled his seatbelt, leaned forward as he always did, and rested his right cheek on the centre console as he stared at the alpha. He gave a small smile as he looked at Jiang Yunshu’s angry and troubled expression. “In fact, it’s quite the opposite. I am very happy.”
“Huh?”
“When I first started dating Jiang Yunsu, he liked to just walk on the road with me like that,” Bai Tang described. “And every time, just like right now, many people would talk about me in exactly the same way you saw now. But I was an idiot back then. I decided to give in and reassure him that it was fine because he seemed genuinely pleased by it. It dawned on me only after we had gone on a few more walks that he really didn’t like to walk with me at all. He detested the heat and disliked being crowded with others. He just enjoys basking in the admiring glances of onlookers, “showing off” his omega to everyone.”
It’s similar to bragging about having an exquisite pet.
After three years, Bai Tang was frightened to find himself back in the same scene, so he kept checking to make sure he knew who the alpha was by his side. But his anxiety quickly calmed down. Jiang Yunshu’s actions dispelled his doubts and anxiousness completely .
Jiang Yunshu stated unequivocally, “He’s sick in the head.”
“Pfft,” scoffed Bai Tang. It was the first time he’d heard Jiang Yunshu say something so impolite. Without the immortality and the massive distance, but with the added human connection, it was like a fairy had fallen from heaven to be with him.
He smiled briefly and whispered, “Actually, like Senior and Ruyun, as well as many other omegas, they won’t be experiencing that because, despite being omegas, they look more like betas.”
“I don’t know why, but my gender characteristics as an omega have been very obvious since I was a child,” Bai Tang said, spreading out his palm and examining his slim wrist. “That even when I hadn’t differentiated yet, everyone was sure that I am an omega, and because of this, my parents have always disliked me.”
Jiang Yunshu called out, “Bai Tang.”
Bai Tang looked up. “Hmm?”
“If you feel miserable because your appearance as an omega is obvious,” said Jiang Yunshu, “Then it’s this world that failed you.”
Bai Tang was silent for a moment, then he smiled. “…Hm.”
“Dr. Jiang, can you tell me about your past?” There was a red mark on Bai Tang’s forehead. He asked, “Can I know more about you?”
Now it was Jiang Yunshu’s turn to be stunned, but he subconsciously said, “Sure.”
After waiting for a few minutes however, the alpha didn’t make any more sound, but instead frowned, and tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, as if he was thinking hard.
After several minutes passed, Jiang Yunshu said, “Want to hear some stories of patients I’ve met?”
Bai Tang nodded blankly.
In the middle of listening to Jiang Yunshu tell the third story: The grandparent clamoured that he didn’t wanna go to surgery, that the hospital’s just cheating them with their money and that his son obviously just searched on Baidu. The son retorted that it wasn’t like that. And he also wanted the hospital director to come and confront him. Bai Tang had to interrupt, tactfully saying, “Dr Jiang, do you have a story that’s about you? Like stuff that happened when you were studying…”
Jiang Yunshu had no choice but to brainstorm again. He had intended to speak about Lin Baizhou, but when he realised it was someone else’s story, he simply smiled helplessly. “Sorry, I don’t seem to have much of an impression. It seems like the only things I’ve done was study and work non-stop.”
Bai Tang let out an “ah”.
It was quiet for a while.
He turned out to be so boring, Jiang Yunshu thought about himself.
Bai Tang suddenly broke into a smile. His eyes were bent into the shape of a crescent, revealing his white teeth, and his tone was full of enlightenment as he spoke, “It turns out that only by working SO hard can we become such an excellent and good person like Dr. Jiang.”
When he got to the “so” part, he solemnly drew a big circle, which filled the entire space of the passenger seat.

Our Bai Tang is actually a little fastball player.
Slowly 🐌 in due time BT will heal and im excited for their relationship to develop
My 💓
Bai Tang is starting to show some personality traits other than fear. I bet between his looks and what looks like an innate playfulness that’s emerging, he was probably a complete treasure before his dickhead alpha wrecked him.
before his parents mistreaded him too, those bastards probably were negligent towards him
The society is disgusting, so take care bubus! Let’s change it!
Thank You for the new chapter (♡ ὅ ◡ ὅ )ʃ♡
Thanks~❤️
