As a somewhat-senior in high school, Bai Tang had a holiday one month later than other grades. It didn’t take him long to drift off to sleep when he buried his head in his arms. It seemed like just a moment until the bell rang to signal the beginning of class. His body sprang up, then he yawned, grabbed up his textbook, and stood behind the class to listen.
A student standing with him asked, “Bai Tang, have you been studying all night lately? Your dark circles are really popping out.”
Bai Tang was inherently pale, so the dark circles were very obvious when under his eyes. It made him look like in low spirits.
“No,” Bai Tang yawned again, his mouth opening into an oval shape. “I just didn’t sleep well.”
The therapy content that day really frightened him, affecting him to this day.
Every night, it takes approximately 5 minutes for his eyes to adjust to the darkness after the lights are turned out, and within those 5 minutes, his brain would begin to think erratically. The more terrified he felt, the more he thought about things, and he couldn’t stop himself.
He dared not to move, and he dared not to close his eyes. As the night progressed and the moonlight from outside seeped in, his environment began to warp and stitch together into his worst nightmare.
In the corner of his closet appeared a person-like figure.
There was a person standing there, staring at Bai Tang. It was…Jiang Yunsu.
His body was shrouded in cold, and his limbs were shaking. While Bai Tang knew that there was no one there, he thought, what if? Is Jiang Yunsu’s spirit still lingering?
He just closed his eyes, but within a few seconds, he swiftly opened them again. He stared at the corner intently, always feeling that the figure seemed to be drawing closer to him.
Bai Tang almost lost his wits. His eyelashes dampened with cold sweat, and he shouted inwardly over and over again, “Angel Jiang, Angel, come to my room… please.”
He didn’t come, not even Heitang came to scratch his door.
In the end, it was he who broke the stalemate and turned on the light. He resisted the discomfort of the sudden bright light in his eyes and looked clearly.
In the corner was a hanger with a piece of clothing hanging on it.
He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 2:47 in the morning. After that incident, he didn’t know how he fell asleep, but he only knew that he had intermittent nightmares all night.
It had been like that for several days in a row.

“Mm. Tonight there’s another event where we can get in touch with Chen Qiwen,” Jiang Yunshu hovered the dark green polka-dot tie to his chest. “I’ll go. “
Since the party was set to begin at 7, he would be unable to pick up Bai Tang from school. He requested the housekeeper to do it instead. In addition, Bai Tang stated that there was no doubt in his mind that these preliminary tasks were extremely essential, and he gestured with his hand and said that he would be very careful and pay attention to safety.
It’s only that Bai Tang didn’t appear to be in good health. He seemed tired and worn. Jiang Yunshu grimaced, thinking that instead of staying up late to study again, he would have a good conversation with him tonight.
Qin Zhongnan on the other side hung up the phone, turned around and dialled another person. “Do you have time? Hmm, contact Li Chi again to check if it’s as he said.”

Bai Tang, who had been awake for several days, fell asleep immediately during his evening self-study. He was still fuzzy-headed when the substitute instructor roused him up. When he saw he hadn’t completed half of his schoolwork, he realised he needed to find a solution or his learning efficiency would suffer…
He stepped out of the school gate, holding his backpack. It had a white cat head doll pendant on it. When he looked around to find the figure of the housekeeping aunt, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a place. His eyes widened, and the corners of his lips curled. “Dr. Jiang!” he yelled as he trotted over.
Jiang Yunshu leaned against the vehicle door. He donned a high-end grey suit and had his hair split and blown out. He didn’t use hairspray to hold his hair back, but he let it drop casually, wavy but not sloppy. At this moment, his temperament was different from his usual calm and gentleness. His aura radiated the…roguishness and intensity of an alpha.
But Bai Tang remained unfazed. His eyes widened even more, and he realised Jiang Yunshu was much more attractive than those online idols.
Jiang Yunshu spotted him. “Did you not turn on your phone?”
“No, I haven’t had time to open it…” Bai Tang sat in the passenger seat with his schoolbag in his arms. “Dr. Jiang, didn’t you say you couldn’t come? Or are you going late?”
Jiang Yunshu stepped on the accelerator and said, “I’m not late. I came to pick you up since I had no other transaction.” Inside, he was still not at ease. Auntie was an elderly female beta so he was afraid that something might happen.
He noticed the fiery gaze next to him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Bai Tang scratched his blushing earlobe, and let out a laugh. “Hehe it’s nothing…it’s just that Dr. Jiang is so handsome!”
Jiang Yunshu also smiled helplessly. “Thank you.”
After sending off Bai Tang to the door, he lowered the window on the side of the co-pilot and exhorted, “Lock the doors and windows, I’ll be back late tonight so don’t wait for me. Go to bed first.”
“Okay…” Bai Tang stood by the car window, his gaze full of reluctance as he stared at the alpha inside without blinking. “Dr. Jiang, come home early… Be careful when driving. I’ll leave the light on for you.”
Unlike before when he contradictorily prayed for Jiang Yunsu‘s safety by the window, Bai Tang sincerely wanted Jiang Yunshu to go home safely every night.
The corner of Jiang Yunshu’s mouth curled up. “Okay.”
He raised the car window, then he stepped on the accelerator. He glanced at the omega through the rearview mirror, and kept looking at it while he pulled out the gate.
Someone is waiting at home…

“President Jiang,” An alpha about his age teased as he shook a glass of wine in his hand, “Why didn’t you meet anyone for more than half an hour?”
Jiang Yunshu saw his target, Chen Qiwen, from the corner of his eye. He haha-ed in response. “Excuse me for a moment, I’m going out to get some fresh air. Pardon me.”
In truth, he didn’t know how to drink alcohol as he only drank seldom. Every once in a while, when the team goes out to eat, he’ll only have a drink or two. Alcohol could cause nerve paralysis, and surgeons require clear minds and accurate scalpels.
Jiang Yunsu’s identity was well known among young people, but in the presence of such a successful guy in his 40s and 50s, he’s dreadfully unpresentable. Jiang Yunshu asked Qin Zhongnan to temporarily teach him the art of flattery, as well as upper-class drinking etiquette.
The bottom line was that he had to begin with Chen Qiwen’s son first.
Luckily, Chen Ning was also aware of him. When Jiang Yunshu approached him, he took the initiative to pick up a glass of wine and approached him. “President Jiang.”
Jiang Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, touched his wine glass, and took a sip. “Mr. Chen Jr.”
Then everything from there went smoothly. He successfully exchanged business cards with Chen Qiwen, and when he was about to get up, someone suddenly pressed his shoulders with great strength.
The person who came over was eccentric. “President Jiang, long time no see? It’s been almost half a year since we last met, right?”
Jiang Yunshu turned his head and saw that it was an alpha with a familiar face. He remembered that it was Zou Yu, the alpha who invited him to a “get together” and linked arms with him at the door not long after he first came to this world.
Everyone was rich kids. At that time, he didn’t know how to feign civility, and he was dazzled by nausea and anger and took that omega from before away half-forcefully. They must’ve hated him.
Jiang Yunshu sighed inwardly. This is troublesome. He smiled and said, “It has been a long time.”
Zou Yu wrapped his arms around his neck again, and this time he didn’t dodge. The two walked out of the crowd, and Jiang Yunshu saw that most of the people who were gathered that day were also present.
He understood that Jiang Yunsu used to play with these people.
“Su-ge,” said an alpha, “You were too disrespectful last time. How could we play when you took our person away? Could it be that you devoured him all by yourself?”
Everyone laughed.
Nobody could afford to be outraged by this anymore. Jiang Yunsu’s prominence could not have happened without their assistance. Not to mention that his present source of income was entirely from the company, and he had more pressing matters to attend to right now. The less drag there is, the better.
Jiang Yunshu said, “I’m really sorry. As you are all aware, I had just been released from the hospital following a car accident, so my temper was frayed, and I took it out on you all. I’ll treat everyone to supper next time.”
“Oh no no,” Zou Yu said, laughing, “Su-ge threw me off like this several times before. I phoned him numerous times after the previous time, but he always refused, making me think I was some kind of trash.”
Jiang Yunshu could only apologise. He sighed for the 10086th time in his heart, it’s better to be a doctor.
“Okay. We’re not stingy.” Another alpha directly brought over a barrel of wine. “How about drinking this barrel of wine to wipe the slate clean?”
If Jiang Yunshu remembered correctly, this style of barrel contained whiskey mixed with vodka.
Jiang Yunshu, “You might not believe it, but following the car accident, I began to care for my body. It might be due to an autoimmune illness or the impact of changes in my surroundings and food, but I developed an allergy to alcohol.”
A couple people’s faces immediately turned nasty. “Jiang Yunsu, are you lying to us? Are you here feigning an allergy to me, considering your prodigious capacity for booze? If you no longer want to be friends with us, just say so. Stay away from us skeevy dudes.”
Jiang Yunshu believed he couldn’t get away. He stated, “That is absolutely not the case. Then let’s do this, I’ll drink as much as I can, but if I start having skin allergies, I’ll stop. Allergies are not a minor issue. If it is serious, it will kill people. I now respect my life more after avoiding a disaster.”
A few people thought that Jiang Yunsu‘s brain really got bad after the car accident. His tone of voice was strange. It wasn’t like before. His voice had become so low that he sounded like a teacher teaching his students. “If you are really allergic, why would you still drink?”
“I’m going to fill up on some food first so that I can join in the party with everyone.” Jiang Yunshu went to the self-service section, ate some steak, assessed the quantity, and ate 6 mango slices.

Thank you so much for the shower updates! I felt so happy even if it’s kind of a bad day. Haha!
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Thank you for the updates. Happy Lunar New Year!
Oh boy, this could go either way! Maybe he convinces them he’s allergic and never has to drink with them again and Bai Tang gets to take care of him while he recovers. Or maybe Bai Tang is getting more freaked out being home alone, and Dr. Jiang comes home all distorted and discolored from the mango and reeking of those alphas and scares the crap out of Bai Tang. I’m sure there are other options, there’s a good reason I’m not an author 😅.
Smart, smart man!
I know someone who gave up drinking, and only those people who are really a$$es insist on making someone drink
