The alarm went off promptly in the morning.
At the same instant, the two people who were comfortably intertwined in bed began to stir. Jiang Yunshu’s hands were long, and after a few drowsy clicks on the screen, he buried himself back in the omega’s chest.
Speaking it out may scare everyone’s ass off. An additional insult to injury to their already pitiful wages occurred a week ago when Jiang Yunshu, who had a history of insomnia and would instantly wake up whenever his alarm went off, fell asleep again next Bai Tang.
Ever since that day on, Bai Tang was forced to get up.
Even though he had his eyes closed, he had his four fingers tucked into the alpha’s hair.
Even though he had his eyes closed, he had his four fingers tucked into the alpha’s hair. He gently tugged. “… Dr. Jiang, wake up.”
Jiang Yunshu yawned, struggled to leave the omega’s embrace, sat up, and then bent down to kiss Bai Tang’s cheek, saying, “I’m going to wash up.”
Bai Tang took a breath and sat up. His body, which had not yet awakened, was very weak, and he wobbled a few times before sitting firmly. The alpha now has also formed the habit of drinking water after getting up. Bai Tang pulled his slippers and went to the kitchen to cook porridge.
Jiang Yunshu came out dressed and saw this scene: the omega yawned as he stirred the porridge with his eyes closed.
He thought suspiciously for a few seconds and asked, “Bai Tang, why are you up?”
Bai Tang was confused. “Huh?”
“Today is Saturday,” Jiang Yunshu said, “you don’t have class.”
“Oh…” Bai Tang hesitated and yawned again, suppressing his drowsiness. “I forgot… It’s okay, I’ll watch you finish breakfast and then go back to sleep.”
Before leaving, the omega tiptoed and kissed the alpha’s lips. “I’ll bring you lunch at noon!”
“Ok.” Jiang Yunshu pressed down on the back of Bai Tang’s head and swept around his mouth. “Tell me before you go out.”
“Yes yes!”
Bai Tang threw himself back into bed as the alpha left, but he was no longer able to fall asleep. Breathing deeply, he buried his face in Jiang Yunshu’s pillow. As he inhaled the alpha’s scent, he felt his body temperature rise. He rubbed himself all over, getting the alpha’s pheromones all over him. He got up abruptly after discreetly sniffing the cloth, which caused his face to flush scarlet.
He was acting like a pervert.
So Bai Tang couldn’t help but sniff and at the same time argue with himself. Something even more unexpected occurred to him a short time later, and he felt his arrhythmic heart racing immediately.
Bai Tang’s eyes widened in disbelief. He didn’t dare to move for a long time, pretended nothing had happened, endured for a while, and shamefully bit into an innocent pillow, surrendering to his fate and putting his hand into his pants.

At noon, he received a call from Teacher Wang asking if he was available this afternoon to tidy up the data room and teach him some teaching experience. Bai Tang was flattered and immediately agreed.
He packed the food into a four layer lunch box, then took out a small envelope from somewhere and stuck it on the lunch box before leaving.

There was a small card inside the envelope, and he opened it with a beautiful line of words: Dr. Jiang, eat well! Drink all the soup! I love you!

“Tsk,” Lin Baizhou was extremely unhappy. “What are you pretending for? You think if the corners of your mouth droop, you’re not laughing? Your eyes are curving.”
Jiang Yunshu stared straight ahead and pretended that he hadn’t heard him.
“Fine.” Lin Baizhou informed him, “I won’t have dinner with you this afternoon. My mother is back, I’ll go find her.”
Jiang Yunshu nodded. “Okay.”
Thanks to Bai Tang’s blessing, he felt extremely energetic all afternoon, writing medical records with increasing intensity.
When clocking out of work, Jiang Yunshu received a message from the omega, who said he might not be home until after 8 pm tonight and asked him to handle dinner on his own.
Jiang Yunshu replied, “Okay. Tell me if you’re almost done. I’ll pick you up.”.
With a beep, he successfully checked out. At the same time, he heard footsteps.
He turned around and saw Lin Baizhou. He casually invited, “Dr. Lin? Should we have dinner together?”
“Sorry, still can’t today.” Lin Baizhou looked a bit restless. “… I’m gonna go buy some peach soda.”
Jiang Yunshu smiled helplessly and said, “How much do you love that drink? You’ve said several times that you’re going to buy peach soda for dinner.”
Lin Baizhou also smiled and said, “I’ve been addicted to it since I was young.”
He drove to the small shop, walked to the shelf with ease, picked up a bottle, and said, “Boss, I’ll take it!”
He bought all the peach soda directly the last time and also paid for the year next in advance, allowing the boss to purchase with peace of mind.
At the moment when Lin Baizhou was about to step out of the store, his footsteps paused. After hesitating, he still asked, “Boss, can I ask you… Did the other guy come around to buy some?”
The boss waved his hand and said, “No! He definitely won’t come back. That’s just how customers are!”
Lin Baizhou went quiet. One of his fingers twitched. He got up and walked back to retrieve another bottle, which he then placed in the car. After a few minutes of leaning against the window, he made the decision to press down on the accelerator.
As time passed, low and decaying houses dotted the landscape, roads were getting narrower, and water and trash flooded the ground. The yelling was audible, and the people he had driven past earlier were selling fresh meat and veggies.
Lin Baizhou propped his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head, and looked at the bottle of peach soda.
He had lunch with his mother who had just returned to the Second Star this afternoon, and as they chatted, they began to argue and criticise each other’s dark history.
Apathetically chewing on the pig’s elbow, his mother lifted her legs after 800 rounds later. Her words came out of nowhere, but he couldn’t return to his senses for a long time. “Actually, you’re not that naughty! Speaking of your third year of junior high school, didn’t you save a child in your father’s hospital?”
“Knock knock. Young man!”
Lin Baizhou suddenly returned to his senses. He lifted his head and opened the car window. An old man said, “Young man, your car is blocking the way! I have to transport things out from this intersection later!”
“Sorry,” Lin Baizhou saw that there was indeed a large trailer behind him, so he backed up and made way for the intersection.
At this moment, Lin Baizhou glanced out and saw a figure that he had not seen for a long time in an old residential building.
The last time they met, Zheng Ruyun arranged it.
Lin Baizhou’s initial response was to dip his body and remain motionless for several seconds before he pretended to be composed and sat up straight. He forgot that the car had a one-way perspective film attached.
He saw Zheng Ruyun carrying three boxes of things in his hand. After placing them on the cart, he went upstairs again. In no time, he brought three more boxes of things down, repeatedly.
Lin Baizhou counted. 2, 4, 6… a total of 18 boxes. That’s a lot.
Immediately after, an old man opened the boxes one by one, as if checking for any missing items.
Lin Baizhou immediately saw that inside was neatly placed pink and white bottles. It was 18 empty boxes of peach soda.
Zheng Ruyun looked at the 17.4 yuan handed over by the old man. For what seemed like an eternity, he hesitated from grabbing it.
In 8 years, 18 boxes and 532 bottles were worth only 17.4. The corner of his mouth sarcastically tugged up.
Forget it, it’s all over now. Wasn’t it agreed upon? It’s really time to let it go.
Forget it.
He reached out his hand——
“Why sell it?” Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
Zheng Ruyun suddenly turned his head and, at the moment he saw Lin Baizhou, he instinctively stood in front of the peach soda bottles, not wanting the other person to see it.
The other party repeated, “Why sell it?”
Without waiting for Zheng Ruyun to sluggishly turn his head to find an excuse, he heard the other party ask, “Why don’t you buy peach soda anymore?”

Bai Tang ran out of the school gate and jumped onto the car door. He was very excited. “Dr. Jiang! Teacher Wang taught me a lot today!”
“Really?” Jiang Yunshu smiled and said, “Buckle your seat belt.”
“Mmm!” Bai Tang was about to share what happened today when he was interrupted by alpha.
Jiang Yunshu handed something over and said, “Take it first, I’ll drive.”
Without thinking, Bai Tang reached out to grab it, only to find a blade of grass uprooted in his hand, muck clinging to its roots. He examined it closely and tallied the leaves.
Four leaf clover! This was his first time seeing a four leaf clover!
Jiang Yunshu said, “When I was waiting for you at the school gate, I looked down and saw it. I was very lucky.”
Bai Tang looked at him in surprise.
The light outside the window flashed across the alpha’s face. Jiang Yunshu continued with a smile, “I’m giving my luck to my omega.”
There was a sudden, intense tremor in Bai Tang’s chest, as if he had taken a blow. Even though his nose stung a little, he looked unblinkingly at the alpha. “…Hmm.”
“What’s going on?” Jiang Yunshu smiled helplessly. “Why are you crying?”
“Nothing…” Bai Tang was so happy that he was about to cry. “I’m holding it back… Thank you Dr. Jiang, I am very happy, really.”
Jiang Yunshu looked ahead and rubbed his knuckles against the omega’s face.
Bai Tang lifted his folded hands as if clutching a precious gem as they travelled. When he entered the house, Heitang jumped on him, so his back hit the alpha’s chest. Even though he was on the verge of falling, he remembered to hold the delicate four-leaf clover.
Then Heitang was scolded by Jiang Yunshu, saying that the owner could no longer bear its weight and should not pounce like that again. He also said that it was fortunate that he was behind the omega, otherwise he would fall down.
Heitang seemed to be Sun Wukong, cursed by Tang Sanzang. Its tail stopped wagging, its ears drooped, its dog face wrinkled. It couldn’t break free. It looked very resentful at its other owner squatting next to him, laughing and having a stomachache.
After taking a shower, the alpha was preparing for his thesis and exam in the study. Bai Tang didn’t disturb him, but quietly took a small shovel and went to the garden.
Midway through, Jiang Yunshu came out to drink water. He heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom and turned to the kitchen. The first thing that caught his eye were two extra pots of green plants placed on the windowsill -——
On the left side, there was a miniature flower pot, a four-leaf clover in the middle, and a little stone holding the withering straw.
On the right was the short flower pot that was usually used to grow daffodils, but at this moment, it was filled with clover, moist soil, and dripping grass leaves.
Jiang Yunshu noticed a piece of paper pressed under the flowerpot. He seemed to realise something. His heart pounded rhythmically against his chest.
He carefully pulled it out and opened it, with familiar handwriting on it: giving all happiness to my alpha.
In that instant, Jiang Yunshu’s expression turned red, and he was on the verge of tears. Feelings of overwhelming warmth flooded his heart.
After a few long breaths, he steadied his newly formed tears. His fingertips continued to run over the letters and words on the page.
How could anything compare to the joy of “not only being cared for by the other person, but also them responding with more love when you don’t have the heart to love yourself”?
Crying, throwing up😭❤
