Bai Tang regretted it.
Lying on the bed in the soft, yellow light of the nightstand, he stared at the alpha’s profile with growing displeasure. How could he so openly and boldly unleash pheromones… He should’ve bathed him in his pheromones slowly and gradually in the middle of the night.
He wasn’t sure how Jiang Yunshu would react. Would he leave another bad impression?
Yet the alpha’s face indicated otherwise, and he smiled as well… What did Jiang Yunshu think of him?
Does Jiang Yunshu only treat him like a younger brother? After all, he had addressed him as “little friend” before, but what kind of friendly brothers would hug in one another’s arms…
Although the alpha first had a hard time with physical touch, after commencing desensitisation therapy, he began to feel more comfortable.
Would Jiang Yunshu… Jiang Yunshu…
Messy thoughts followed one after another, all related to Jiang Yunshu. Bai Tang pondered drowsily, and soon fell asleep.
As the phone he’d put in his pocket before bed vibrated, he woke up feeling like he’d only slept a wink. He subconsciously reached out and pressed it. After three seconds of rest, he opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the alpha’s profile.
Jiang Yunshu laid flat on his back, his face turned slightly to the other side. The only thing Bai Tang saw was the alpha’s superior jawline; he then measured the space between them and compared it to how far apart they were when they were asleep and awake.
It was regrettable, Bai Tang thought. Why didn’t he move around after he fell asleep? If he had slept a little more naughtily, he may have been in Dr. Jiang’s arms the moment he opened his eyes…
Bai Tang moaned inside, slid out of bed lightly, brought his phone to the garden, and began reciting vocabulary.
Jiang Yunshu’s phone vibrated half an hour later. He switched it off and touched the spot next to him.
It was empty.
He woke up early to memorise words again. Jiang Yunshu sat up and started to shake off his drowsiness.
Ten minutes later, he got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. He raised his hand and smelled his arm. There was a lingering sweet smell, and it felt sticky.
If he didn’t know, he’d think that his own pheromone was condensed milk.
When Bai Tang, who had been memorising the vocabulary for half an hour, came back, he happened to see the newly bathed alpha coming out of the bathroom.
When Bai Tang saw a drop of water trickle down Jiang Yunshu’s collarbone, he averted his gaze in an uncharacteristic manner. “Good morning, Dr. Jiang.”
An imperceptible amount of pheromone seeped out as he approached Jiang Yunshu. A little bit was still a little bit.
Alphas were extremely sensitive to omega pheromones. Jiang Yunshu took a pheromone patch, bowed his head, and neatly inserted it on his gland before patting Bai Tang on the back. “Enough trouble, go change your clothes,” he stated simply.
Bai Tang’s cheap tricks were exposed. He walked in as if nothing had happened.

Although scoring first in the written exam and second in the interview the second time he took the civil service, Zheng Ruyun was still not accepted.
Once the rage subsided, the crushing helplessness set in. For a while, Zheng Ruyun felt as if his life, his existence, had no significance.
Even with Bai Tang by his side offering words of comfort, his spirits did not lift.
After school, Bai Tang walked out of the school gate with a sad face. He looked at the first tree on the right, where Jiang Yunshu’s car was parked.
Since the accident that happened last time, Jiang Yunshu would rather wait for him for half an hour than be a minute late.
Bai Tang trotted over, but when he saw Lin Baizhou getting out of the car, he hurriedly greeted, “Dr. Lin.”
Lin Baizhou said, “Bai Tang, I bought some newest toys for Heitang and put them in the car.”

Bai Tang’s first reaction was to look at Jiang Yunshu in the driver’s seat, who smiled and signalled to handle it himself.

Lin Baizhou said, “I couldn’t get through him.”
Bai Tang thought of the clouds surrounding Zheng Ruyun, and also remembered Zheng Ruyun’s lively appearance whenever he’d meet Lin Baizhou.
Perhaps, Dr. Lin has a solution?
He said, “Then I’ll try? But, because of something, Ruyun may not be in a good mood.”
Lin Baizhou said, “I know.”
The phone rang for tens of seconds before it connected. Zheng Ruyun’s soulless voice came over, “Bai Tang? What’s up?”
“Ruyun,” Bai Tang looked at Lin Baizhou, who nodded at him. “Dr. Lin is right beside me. He said he wanted to see you.
There was silence for a few seconds. “Lin Baizhou is beside you?”
Zheng Ruyun said, “Turn on the speakerphone.”
Bai Tang was stunned for a moment, and did what he was ordered to. “It’s turned on.”
Immediately afterwards, they both heard Zheng Ruyun say, “Scram, alpha.”
Lin Baizhou, “….”
Lin Baizhou took a deep breath. “Zheng Ru—”
The call disconnected.
Lin Baizhou, “….”
Lin Baizhou asked Bai Tang, “Is he still at school?”
Bai Tang finally witnessed the duo’s tit-for-tat confrontation. He buffered, “Huh?…Mhm.”
“Great,” Lin Baizhou rolled up his sleeves. “I’ll just wait here, I don’t believe he’ll stay at school overnight.”
Bai Tang didn’t know much about Lin Baizhou yet, so he was a little worried about Zheng Ruyun. He dissuaded him, “T-that’s no good… Dr Lin, you’re an alpha guarding in front of an omega school, you’d really look suspicious…”
Lin Baizhou left without success.

In June, Bai Tang, who had been subjected to Jiang Yunshu’s hellish tutelage for several months, took the college entrance examination.
On the same day, Jiang Yunshu brought Bai Tang to the school gate. Before the school gate opened, Bai Tang was nervously shaking his legs. “Dr. Jiang, can you check again if I have everything? I’m afraid I might’ve forgotten something.”
They had checked his stuff 16 times, but Jiang Yunshu still checked again for him. “Everything’s here, don’t be nervous.”
But just because he said he shouldn’t be nervous, didn’t mean he wouldn’t be nervous. They waited until the police line was opened to get out of the car. Bai Tang took a deep breath then walked towards the school gate.
“Bai Tang.” Jiang Yunshu called him.
Bai Tang paused, then stiffly turned his head. “Hmm?”
Jiang Yunshu placed his palm on top of Bai Tang’s head. He knew that Bai Tang had no confidence in himself, so he had to make Bai Tang have confidence in him instead. After all, he was the student he had tutored for several months. “Bai Tang, if you perform in your normal state, you will definitely be able to pass the exam. Don’t you believe in me?”
Bai Tang said, “I believe in you…”
Jiang Yunshu said, “I’ll wait for you outside, don’t be scared.”
He smiled, tore a post-it note, and pressed it on Bai Tang’s forehead. “A piece of Dr. Jiang’s lucky charm.”
Bai Tang’s vision was filled by Jiang Yunshu’s smile, and his nervousness quickly transformed into a different kind of nervousness. His heart was racing. He stuck out his red neck and said, “If that’s the case, then behave yourself and don’t leave this area… I want to see you as soon as I come out.”
Jiang Yunshu laughed. “Okay.”
Bai Tang tightly clenched the transparent pencil case in his hand. In addition to the admission ticket and ID, there were also pens and erasers that Jiang Yunshu had used when he took the postgraduate entrance exam.
In July, the results of the college entrance exam were announced.
It was still the same computer, the same table, and still the same position where Jiang Yunshu sat in front while Bai Tang stood behind him.
Bai Tang bent over, buried his face in the alpha’s back, and said in a somewhat muffled voice, “Dr. Jiang, how was it?”
Jiang Yunshu’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He held the mouse in his hand, his index finger still hovering the left button. “Wait.”
Two minutes passed, Bai Tang waited until his heart was about to beat right out of his chest. “Dr. Jiang! How was it? Was it bad? Why aren’t you talking?”
Then a light click followed.
Jiang Yunshu’s pupils dilated slightly. He stared at the screen as the page loaded.
“621…” Jiang Yunshu read out in a low voice, then his voice suddenly became louder. “Bai Tang! You passed!”
It was only then that Bai Tang dared to open his eyes. He jumped up from the alpha’s broad shoulders almost instantly to the front of the screen. After seeing the numbers with his own eyes, he turned around and hugged Jiang Yunshu. “WWAAAAHHHHH!!!!”
Only then did Bai Tang finally loosen up.
That evening, Bai Tang cooked a lot of dishes. “Dr. Jiang! Eat to your heart’s content!”
In the end, the two of them stood together in the kitchen, wrapping a dish of food in plastic wrap and putting it in the refrigerator.
Bai Tang had a lot of energy. He followed Heitang from the second floor to the first floor, and then from the first floor to the garden.
Jiang Yunshu had no choice but to intercept him halfway, and hugged the frantically rushing Bai Tang. “Bai Tang, ease down. Go take a shower first, it’s already late.”
No matter how excited he was, Bai Tang would obediently listen to whatever Dr. Jiang said.
It was only when Bai Tang hadn’t come out after staying in the bathroom for nearly half an hour and he hadn’t seen Heitang did Jiang Yunshu dully notice that something was wrong.
As he approached the 2nd floor, he heard a bang of laughter in the bathroom, and occasionally a few of Heitang’s barks.
Forget it. Jiang Yunshu shook his head. As long as Bai Tang is happy.
He didn’t even notice that the corner of his mouth was hooked.
They played until 12 o’clock. When the dog finally fell asleep, Bai Tang entered the room with a lot of enthusiasm.
Jiang Yunshu was preparing for the medical licence exam. He didn’t even lift his head as he asked, “Did you finish washing up?”
“Done!” Bai Tang threw himself onto the bouncy bed.
Jiang Yunshu said, “Sleep, it’s late.”
Bai Tang hummed, lay down obediently, and covered himself with the quilt.
It was a very quiet and beautiful learning environment, if only there was not a blazing gaze beside Jiang Yunshu.
Jiang Yunshu helplessly stopped writing. “Bai Tang.”
Bai Tang immediately closed his eyes. “Dr. Jiang, you should also go to bed early!”
Jiang Yunshu’s concentration was invincible when he entered the zone. After he finished a set of papers, the hour hand of the clock on the wall was almost approaching 2.
Jiang Yunshu habitually looked to the right, but was immediately stunned.
When Bai Tang saw Jiang Yunshu looking over, he raised his neck slightly, squinted his eyes and smiled at the alpha, revealing his white teeth.
Jiang Yunshu, “….You.”
Bai Tang patted the bed beside him. “Dr. Jiang, come quickly.”
Jiang Yunshu went downstairs, filled a cup with water, walked back up and put it on the bedside table, then walked to the other side. “Turn off the lights.”
The room went dark.
Bai Tang was lying on his side facing the alpha. He found that Jiang Yunshu’s most common sleeping position was lying on his back, his face turned to the other side.
He folded his hands on his chest and whispered, “Good night, Dr. Jiang.”
It was also the first time for Jiang Yunshu to lie on the same bed as Bai Tang, who was yet to fall asleep. He somehow felt a little uncomfortable. “Hmm, good night.”
His eyes gradually adapted to the dark. Bai Tang blinked, and the outline of the alpha’s figure appeared.
So beautiful, he couldn’t watch it enough.
His gaze was like a scanning machine; from the alpha’s forehead to his chin.
Dr. Jiang’s jaw line is really sharp, his nose bridge is very straight, his lips are also…especially when it opens and closes when talking to him…even the structure of his ears is so interesting.
I want to kiss him… Can I kiss him?
The smell of condensed milk came out a bit without the omega realising.
Dr. Jiang probably hasn’t slept yet, should he kiss him when he falls asleep? Just once, a very light one.
Bai Tang moved, his knee touching Jiang Yunshu’s hand.
How about holding hands? I wanna hold hands…
Could he? They usually hold hands outside… Would it be okay to hold hands while sleeping?
Humans were always brash, sentimental, and impetuous in the dead of night, especially when it was an eager omega who had just finished the college entrance exam with outstanding scores.
Bai Tang held his breath, clenched his fists, and slowly lifted his comforter. He quickly felt the chilly air contact his palms, and after a brief respite, he gently lifted Jiang Yunshu’s quilt.
Within seconds, Bai Tang was rubbing his entire face and sucking his chapped lips.
A-Almost there… Bai Tang gritted his teeth nervously. Did…did he touch it just now?
His hands were so close, yet so far.
He had almost reached it, but then Bai Tang retracted his hand.
What if Dr. Jiang shook his hand away? What if Dr. Jiang actually doesn’t like him? What if Dr. Jiang decides to stay away after he finds out his feelings?
It’d be better to take his time and be more cautious.
Bai Tang pursed his lips and made up his mind. He was about to retrieve his hand slowly——
His hand was suddenly grabbed.
Jiang Yunshu closed his eyes and said, “Good boy, sleep.”
Ahh so sweet!!! 😭✨
