Bai Tang thought, if Heitang rushed over within 5 seconds, then he’d take that as a sign that Dr. Jiang liked him.
When the door opened, he took a deep breath and hit the stopwatch.
Heitang revealed itself to be hanging around outside the door, protruding tongue and all. The instant it opened, it sprang right on him.
Bai Tang jumped as he caught sight of Jiang Yunshu putting on a new pair of slippers.
Jiang Yunshu, “What’s wrong? Doesn’t Heitang wait at the door all the time?”
Bai Tang squinted his eyes happily. “Hehe, it’s nothing.”
Jiang Yunshu went out for a while after dinner. Bai Tang assumed the alpha hadn’t had the soup yet, so he placed the crock pot containing it in the centre of the dining table. If Dr. Jiang returned to eat it at night, it was a sign that he liked him.
He had just finished his studies, showered, and settled in for the night to wait for the alpha’s return when he received a call from Jiang Yunshu saying, “Bai Tang, I’ll be back later tonight. Go to bed first. You have to get up early and go to school for morning reading.”
“Oh…” Bai Tang’s tone suddenly fell. He couldn’t sleep with the alpha tonight, but even so, he still had to rack his brains to remind Jiang Yunshu to drink the soup. “Dr. Jiang, when you come back, see if there is anything in the house…”
Jiang Yunshu, “What?”
“Forget it,” Bai Tang gave up. “Dr. Jiang, you have to come back early… Be careful when driving.”
Before he knew it, he fell asleep while waiting for Jiang Yunshu. He reached for his side upon waking, and when he realised it was empty, he sprang to his feet, and hurried out the door. He double checked if it was the alpha that was warming soy milk. He asked quickly, “Dr. Jiang, did you see the pot on the dining table when you came back yesterday?”
“I saw it.” Jiang Yunshu said, “I put it in the fridge for you.”
The omega lifted the lid, and saw that the soup level remained unchanged. His brow furrowed, and a sinking feeling welled up in his chest.
Bai Tang has been performing superstitious divinations for several days in a succession, such as turning off the water in the shower to see if the water still dripped, counting if he had lost more or less than ten hairs, and seeing if the working alpha would move within ten seconds.
The outcomes were uneven, as were Bai Tang’s feelings, which were sometimes pleased and sometimes melancholy.
Bai Tang also conducted a trial.
Jiang Yunshu stared silently at the sliced pork ribs dangling in front of him, as well as the gravy trickling onto the table. He then looked at Bai Tang, who was holding the pork ribs on the opposite side and had a serious expression on his face.
Jiang Yunshu took his bowl from beneath the dangling ribs and signalled for Bai Tang to place it in the bowl. “Thank you.”

Unable to continue, Bai Tang grudgingly stowed it away and grew silent.
The internet was full of lies! Such nonsense, If the other person likes you, how could they stand it if you feed them in an enticing manner?
The valiant Tangtang will not be overcome by such minor matters!
The next day, Jiang Yunshu was reading at the dining table outside when he heard a yelp from the restroom, followed by a muffled crash.
He hurried over and knocked on the door. “Bai Tang, what happened?”
Bai Tang sounded like he was enduring the pain as he responded, “Dr. Jiang, I seem to have fallen on my tailbone… I can’t stand up.”
Jiang Yunshu immediately said, “Don’t move, don’t move, I’ll go in and have a look.” Falling on the tailbone wasn’t a trivial matter.
He pushed open the door and saw Bai Tang sitting naked on the wet floor tiles, his calf huddled together in pain. He squatted on the side and asked, “Where does it hurt?”
Bai Tang’s toes curled up and then loosened. “Just the back…”
Jiang Yunshu’s eyes didn’t squint. He braced Bai Tang’s upper body with his crossed arms from under his armpits and around his collarbone, then used his right hand to push down on Bai Tang’s whole tailbone. “Does it hurt here?”
Bai Tang never really lost his footing, though. He just wanted to lure Jiang Yunshu and see Jiang Yunshu’s attitude, but he forgot the most important point for a moment———the alpha he wanted to test was a doctor.
Dr. Jiang is far too serious… Bai Tang’s eyeballs flitted in a panic, feeling terribly bad, so he had no option but to keep acting, “A little bit…”
The joined thigh, pelvic, and coccyx bones make up the human tailbone, which rests beneath the sacrum.
Bai Tang stammered, “It’s there, I think…”
“Here?”
“I-I think so…”
The alpha’s hands were slightly colder than the omega’s body temperature, and as he stroked down inch by inch, Bai Tang’s body gradually trembled, and his waist softened. Especially since he couldn’t see at the back, so he didn’t know where the alpha’s hand would fall next. He trembled when his hands would land, his muscles tense.
He bit his lip. The smell of condensed milk filled the air.
When Bai Tang’s knees bent he realised something. He had a little reaction…!
Instead of the person he intended to tempt, he was the one who got a reaction instead.
Even though Jiang Yunshu couldn’t discern that the little liar Bai Tang was deceiving him, he could smell condensed milk. “I touched it,” he continued, his voice neutral since he was a bit upset. “There appears to be no serious issue. Try standing up and squatting to check if it hurts?”
Bai Tang froze. He couldn’t stand up now! Otherwise, otherwise it will be seen…
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yunshu asked, “Is it too painful to stand up?”
Bai Tang panicked and promptly responded. “Mmm, hm…”
Jiang Yunshu said, “Then let me carry you out?”
For a brief while, Bai Tang’s eyes shone brightly. He hoped he could put out his hand right away, but he couldn’t. It would be easier to detect his irregularities if he embraced him.
Bai Tang just wanted Jiang Yunshu to go as soon as possible. He swallowed his remorse and muttered, “No need… I feel just fine. Dr. Jiang, you go first, I’ll do it myself…”
Jiang Yunshu chuckled, irritated yet amused by him. Just as Bai Tang’s tongue was going to lick the corner of his lips, he swiftly pushed the tip of it with his thumb. “Bai Tang, do you know how much you enjoy licking your lips when you lie?”
Toink! Bai Tang tried unsuccessfully to withdraw his tongue. Some saliva spilled over. Jiang Yunshu, it turned out, was well aware that he was deceiving him.
Only then did Jiang Yunshu let go. He was concerned that Bai Tang could get a cold, so he wrapped the omega in a large towel and propped the omega back up. He then spent the first ten minutes in the toilet questioning Bai Tang why he was lying, followed by another ten minutes teaching him.
Bai Tang bowed his head, listening intently. He was extremely wronged. Jiang Yunshu was an alpha to begin with! And a man! And he’s also a doctor! What kind of alpha would focus only on scolding a nude, pheromone-emitting omega with a blank expression on his face? Dr. Jiang isn’t impotent is he?!
Bai Tang was on the verge of crying. His roommate’s eyes were not accurate at all! Dr. Jiang didn’t like him at all!
But after calming down, Bai Tang felt that Dr. Jiang took his situation so seriously. Didn’t it just show that Dr. Jiang cared about him a lot?
For the whole week Bai Tang felt lost and troubled, his thoughts replaying his roommate’s statements in a loop. Sometimes the more he thought about it, the more he felt there were signals, and sometimes the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was impossible. Whenever he considered simply giving up and confessing, his imagination would quickly fill in the image of Jiang Yunshu rejecting and avoiding himself. The fire that Bai Tang had finally built up would thereafter be quenched.
Time and time again.
He was really unhappy; he didn’t dare to think of Jiang Yunshu leaving him, and he didn’t dare to fathom life without Jiang Yunshu. As long as the idea occupied his mind, it seemed as though someone was pressing his chest.
Bai Tang buried his face in the alpha’s chest and pursed his lips, trying to contain the tears that pricked his eyes.
Jiang Yunshu completed the practical skills exam as well as the medical comprehensive written examination in September, earning the qualification certificate of a medical practitioner and becoming a resident doctor at ICH.
He got quite busy.
His mentor was the Director of the ICH’s Oncology Surgery Department. The director had high hopes for him. After two months of observation, he saw that Jiang Yunshu not only had good professional knowledge, but was also skilled at conducting ward visits, creating medical records, and utilising machinery. He was also very orderly in his job. As a result, he was assigned several duties, including promotion and training.
Jiang Yunshu clocked out of work and strolled out of the hospital in the afternoon. He got his phone out and looked up Bai Tang’s schedule for the day. He learned that he had an Ideology class that ended at 5:40 in the afternoon, and then there was no class in the evening. He sent a message to Bai Tang, telling him that he had just arrived at the school gate and that they can walk home together later.
Bai Tang answered almost immediately, “!”
Bai Tang, “I’ll be there right away!”
Jiang Yunshu didn’t wait long. He saw Bai Tang trotting out. The omega was wearing a bright orange polo shirt today, which made him look bright and colourful.
“Dr. Jiang!” Bai Tang waved at him, with a sunny expression on his face, and consciously stuffed his hand into the alpha’s own.
Just as the two were about to walk downstairs, Jiang Yunshu’s cell phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but he picked it up. “Hello?”
“Yunsu,” a male voice he had never heard before said, “Our dad said that we’ll get together on Saturday. Bring Bai Tang too.”
It was Jiang Yunsu’s older brother.
Jiang Yunshu came to his senses immediately. He once asked someone to investigate Jiang Yunsu‘s family. It’s just that he found it strange that when he had a car accident, his family members didn’t even call, let alone visit the hospital, which led him to assume that hospitals in this world would not notify the patient’s family members.
Later he asked the hospital, but the hospital told him his family had already been notified of the result of him being brain dead.
So it was because their relationship was not good. Jiang Yunshu, who had just arrived at the time, only felt relieved.
But after almost two years, why the sudden invite for a get together? And even specifically instructed him to bring Bai Tang?
The other party continued to say, “What’s taking you so long? Give me your answer.”
Jiang Yunshu said, “Okay.”
After the call hung up, Bai Tang asked, “Who was it?”
“Jiang Yunsu’s older brother.”
Bai Tang’s face changed instantly, and asked with a flash of disgust and resistance. “What did he say?”
Jiang Yunshu said, “He said we will get together on Saturday.”
He pulled out the key and pushed open the door. When he walked outside, he saw that Bai Tang had not followed him. When he turned back, he noticed Bai Tang staring at him, his beautiful eyebrows arched and a pleading expression on his face. “Don’t go, Dr. Jiang… I don’t want to go.”
Oh no, more trouble impending 😩 when can our lovely couple finally have their happy ending, away from jerkasses and problems 😭
Gosh is Jiang Yunsu’s brother disgusting too? I hope he did nothing to Bai Tang..
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Thank you for the chapter!
When he had looked into Jiang Yunsu’s family before, he probably wasn’t close enough to Bai Tang to ask him if he knew anything. Now Bai Tang knows who he really is and they respect each other’s opinions (divining results aside 😛), so I really hope we’ll get some good inside information!
Why did they only appear now? Suspicious =.=
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(ŐωŐ人)
Thanks
why tf would he say yes to that lmao? curiosity… Based on common sense you know they’re not up to good and then if they specifically ask to bring your omega husband, I would be suspicious
