Sweat was beading on Bai Tang’s back, he was in a hurry. He had just finished applying the lotion to the flesh above the alpha’s upper collarbone and was about to put it across his chest when he noticed that Jiang Yunshu had clawed some of it off his neck, leaving behind a white smear on his nails.
“Please don’t scratch it!” Bai Tang snatched the alpha’s wrist and cleaned his fingers with a wet towel. “It’s all wasted! Your nails are filthy, there’s germs in them!”
The word “germs” caused Jiang Yunshu to freeze and place his hands down dutifully.
But his peace was short-lived; he soon awoke with the same question he’d asked upon entering the house, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
He drew a white arc on Jiang Yunshu’s torso with the cotton swab in his hand. “Am I not giving you medicine right now?” Bai Tang said, flustered.
Jiang Yunshu shook his head before leaving.
“Wait.” Bai Tang responded subliminally. He could only use his elbows and torso to stop the alpha because he had both hands full. “What are you doing? Don’t go anywhere! We’re not done yet!”
Jiang Yunshu strode to the door of the study and glanced at the bright lamp and the open book on the table. His expression said ‘as expected’. “You stayed up late to study.”
“No!” Bai Tang felt wrongfully accused. “I just can’t sleep…”
Jiang Yunshu shook his head again. “I’ll have a good chat with you when I wake up tomorrow.”
He gave a look of ‘I can’t outspeak you when I’m drunk’.
Bai Tang let out a soft chuckle, then went to pull him amusedly. “Don’t forget to talk about it tomorrow! Come back here so we can apply your medicine!”
The hour hand pointed exactly at 3. The alpha scraped the ointment so many times that he lost count. Bai Tang’s patience had run out. He looked around, grabbed a tie, and took a seat near the bed. He then lifted the alpha’s arms and attempted to bind the alpha’s hands.
In normal circumstances, Bai Tang would never have dared to act so impertinently toward the otherworldly and revered Dr. Jiang.
It was difficult for him to secure his hands since the pole of the bedside table was at an awkward angle, and the necktie was too short. He caught the alpha’s gaze as he dropped his head.
Then Bai Tang saw that Jiang Yunshu had voluntarily raised his hands so that he could tie them faster.
The two were fairly close in distance. One was hunched over, while the other lay flat. “You look exhausted,” Jiang Yunshu observed calmly as he stared into his eyes.
Critical hit.
Bai Tang almost fainted on the alpha again.

Bai Tang was aware that Jiang Yunshu was working out to stay fit. He’d seen the alpha doing planks and doing weights while listening to English audios countless times.
After being silent for a while, Jiang Yunshu suddenly remarked, “The sweetness of condensed milk has drifted out.”
In an instant, Bai Tang had her hand over the alpha’s mouth, and the cotton swab was dangerously close to the alpha’s nose. He snorted angrily, embarrassed “S-Stop talking! Don’t say anything!”
The alpha blinked.
Bai Tang was so embarrassed and angry that he sped up, switched off his emotional gizmo, and became an emotionless medicine applicator. After he was done rubbing in the ointment, he noticed that Jiang Yunshu had fallen asleep with his face cocked to the side.
With great care, he untied the alpha’s hand from the nightstand and put it under the cover. For fear of what may happen to the alpha in his inebriated state, he intended to wait for the other party to wake up before making his exit. Because of this, he waited for what felt like forever, but his eyelids gradually grew heavier, and his head gradually got dizzy.
Finally, Bai Tang fell asleep on the edge of Jiang Yunshu’s bed, and he slept better than he did in his own bed.
The warmth near the bed vanished by the time Jiang Yunshu awoke the next morning.
He shifted his body while feeling a dull ache in his temple. He became aware of the restriction on his wrists. In disbelief, he opened his eyes to find his wrists tied with a necktie.
Jiang Yunshu was stunned. He used to have a considerable span of time between getting up and waking up. After nearly fifteen minutes of laying on the bed, all of the events of the previous night came flooding back to him.
He immediately sat up and shouted in a rough and hoarse voice, “Bai Tang!”
No one responded, but there was the sound of the dog’s paws running up the stairs. Immediately after, the door was opened.
Today was Bai Tang’s graduation ceremony. The sun shone outside. It’s definitely getting late, what about Bai Tang? How did he go to school? Was it safe?
He fumbled for his fully charged phone on the bedside table, noticing a glass of water next to it and two messages on the screen.
7:55, Bai Tang: Dr Jiang, I’m going out. I asked Ruyun to pick me up, don’t worry! There’s lean meat, preserved egg porridge and warm milk in the kitchen. Remember to finish them. Drinking alcohol yesterday will hurt your stomach. Milk can protect our stomachs!
8:17, Bai Tang: Arrived at school safely!
Only then did Jiang Yunshu relax. He leaned against the nightstand and struggled a lot, which made the tie come off.
Thinking of what happened last night, he turned his head away and coughed twice unnaturally.
His behaviour had been frivolous, ostentatious. He was like a playboy.
But it was undeniable that last night, when he was drunk, he did what he had always wanted to do.
Although he knew that the reason why people would blush was because a large amount of blood would rush to the brain when they’re shy, and because of the rich capillaries on his face and thin skin. He was still puzzled. How could Bai Tang get so red?
After a while, he sighed. He was afraid of only one thing: scaring Bai Tang.
A vibrant redness permeated the skin seen in the mirror, giving it an aura of vitality. He repressed the itching and administered medication to himself. He took a loratadine after eating porridge and milk according to Bai Tang’s directions.
Then, he went to brush up exam problems in the study. He was now in the last sprint and consolidation stage, so he couldn’t relax his guard for a second.
Allergies and hangovers couldn’t deter a postgraduate student’s passion for learning!
At 5 in the afternoon, he went to pick up Bai Tang from school.
When the omega noticed him, he galloped towards him, beckoning and smiling. His silken hair floated, and two dolls, one black and one white, bounced along with his schoolbag. And yet, when he was close by, he suddenly recalled the events of last night. Suddenly, he slowed down, and a more reticent look came over his face.
He called in a low voice, “Dr. Jiang…”
Jiang Yunshu, “Hm.”
With the passage of time, however, Bai Tang realised that Jiang Yunshu’s attitude toward him had not changed, and he began to open up and chat more freely. He started talking about what had happened at school today.
During dinner, Jiang Yunshu asked, “Why did you sleep so late last night?”
Bai Tang coughed instantly. “Cough cough…y-you remember?!”
Jiang Yunshu took out a tissue and passed it over. “Mhm.”
When Bai Tang calmed down, he continued, “Not only do I remember, but I also remember that at 2 am, the lights were still on in the study room, and there were open books on the table.”
“I—cough, I didn’t stay up late to study,” Bai Tang murmured with difficulty, “I just, I can’t sleep…”
“Why?”
Bai Tang whispered, “Because I’m afraid. I can always remember the therapy content of that day…”
Jiang Yunshu fell silent. Two weeks had passed since the therapy that day, so that means that he didn’t sleep well for two consecutive weeks, right?
Before he went to bed in the evening, he walked to Bai Tang’s room and rapped on the door. “Will you feel safer if you sleep with me?”
Bai Tang, who had already knelt on the bed with one knee, paused, and blinked slowly. Did he understand that right?
The alpha was still standing at the door waiting for his answer.
“…Yes,” Bai Tang’s small Adam’s apple bobbed. He said, “Yes.”
Jiang Yunshu’s tense shoulders relaxed a little. He said, “Come.”
Bai Tang was so nervous that he almost tripped on his slippers when he rushed up. He took his own pillow and obediently followed behind him.
Jiang Yunshu put his pillow on the other side. There were two quilts on the bed, one of which was new.
He said, “Go to sleep.”
With Bai Tang’s heart in his throat, he laid down on the bed carefully.
Jiang Yunshu tucked up the loose collar of the omega’s clothes, doing it very naturally, as if he had done it thousands of times.
But he’d never done this in the original world.
Jiang Yunshu lowered his eyes. They said this was Bai Tang’s desensitisation training, but why wasn’t it also his desensitisation training?
He was cold by nature, and he had never been interested in anyone in 29 years. If this accident had not given him a chance to live a new life, he would never have imagined that he would cohabit, hold hands, and sleep with someone.
Lin Baizhou once said to him, “How can you get a wife like this!”
He joked, “I have long been prepared to die alone.”
And now, he said to another man lying in his bed, “You can talk to me about anything, if there’s anything you want to discuss.” Don’t keep your suffering of insomnia for two weeks to yourself.
He still doesn’t believe in me?
The air had a faint whiff of Jiang Yunshu’s pheromone, but now it was able to put Bai Tang at peace. His spirit, which had been tense for two weeks, gently relaxed as he was firmly buried in the soft quilt. He suddenly felt drowsy.
Bai Tang agreed obediently, and snorted in a nasal voice, “Mmm…”
Beside the bed was the nightstand. Jiang Yunshu sat there, reaching out to dim the lamp.
Bai Tang asked, “Dr. Jiang, are you not going to sleep?”
Jiang Yunshu answered, “You sleep first. Is the light too bright?”
Bai Tang shook his head, and made a rustling sound as he rubbed against the pillow.
He rolled onto his side, eyes wide open, and studied Jiang Yunshu’s profile. The alpha’s demeanour softened under the yellow glow, and his tone followed suit “So, Dr. Jiang, try to get some early rest… Good night.”
They’re so cute….. I’m grinning like a fool throughout the chapters
Well, he did die alone already so now he can try the other way. I’m so happy that Bai Tang is comfortable and honest with his Dr husband.
