Chapter 13 - I will protect you this time, okay?

Gu Tunan saw the confusion in those amber eyes. The depression in his heart found a way to vent and turned into vicious and unproven words: “Xie Ruheng was only beaten because he humiliated Qin Jun.”

“You should know what it means to know propriety in the real world, and know the honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing, and what it means to get out of poverty and from the mountains and the bad waters.”

“He came from the bottom and hates the nobles. There’s nothing he can do to vent his anger in order to satisfy his desires.” Gu Tunan said meaningfully: “In his heart, you are probably an existence that could be overthrown by a mere fly.”

Tang Bai looked at Gu Tunan expressionlessly, his eyes were not swaying because of being provoked by Gu Tunan's imagination, but rather had a very cold light.

The amber eyes were like some kind of expensive jewelry, cold and a bit strange.

He didn't raise his chin up high as before, didn't put on a pretentious posture, his back was very straight, and his tone of speech was as cold as his expression.

“It is ridiculous to attribute evil to birth. Poor people's evil may be for survival. The powerful's evil is to satisfy their desires and vent their anger and evil, but the powerful can use a fig leaf to cover up their crimes.”

Gu Tunan discovered for the first time that when Tang Bai didn't pinch his throat to speak, his voice was very nice, like the crisp sound of jade tapping.

“Gu Tunan, don't you—” Is the protagonist attacking the other protagonist?

Tang Bai paused, his brows furrowed, his beautiful eyes looked a little sad, his face was so delicate, so when the sadness appeared, the frowning look was distressing, “You shouldn't be like this.”

“You can dislike pampered omegas and think that they are useless flower vases, but you will not discriminate against the entire omega group for no reason. When an omega is abused, you will have a hint of anger even if you can't empathize with it.”

You will sympathize with the punished Xie Ruheng, think that Qin Jun's actions are excessive, and use the power of the Gu family to help Xie Ruheng reduce the punishment.

“You can also dislike the lazy slum dwellers and burn and kill the looters, but you will not be like the nobles like Qin Jun. You know that the cruel environment of the slums will magnify the evil of human nature infinitely, and you also know that in such an environment in the middle of the world, the goodness of human nature is precious.”

You will be attracted by the shining points on Xie Ruheng, you will understand him, support him, and help him change this bad society together.

Although you are the protagonist in the book, although you have many shortcomings, you are different from those bad alphas. Because you are in love with Xie Ruheng, you are willing to get rid of your bad problems bit by bit. Barely worthy of being with the light of the omegas.

But… but why do you become like this now?

Why did you say that about Xie Ruheng?

Xie Ruheng is the best omega in the world, and he deserves all the good things in the world.

And you are not worthy.

“Gu Tunan, you really disappoint me.” Tang Bai said softly, his voice was so soft, but his eyes were so sad that he was about to cry.

Gu Tunan was stunned.

He never knew...

It turned out that he was like this in Tang Bai's heart.

The dishes were served, and the mango coconut milk shaved ice was placed by Tang Bai's hand.

“Sorry, I'm allergic to mango, and I smell a little uncomfortable, so I can't dine with you.” Tang Bai stood up and left.

Gu Tunan was still sitting in the seat, motionless, he just sat silently like this, and many memories suddenly flooded in.

He suddenly remembered that when he was on a date, a charming little omega said to him, “I’m sorry, I’m allergic to mangoes and can’t eat them”.

And what was he thinking at that time?

The alpha in the memory was full of indifference, and he thought impatiently, what a squeamish omega.

Tang Bai walked out of the restaurant and contacted a beta lawyer he had worked with before.

Although omegas are in a state of oppression and exploitation by the entirety of society, the alphas in the society do a good job of covering the fig leaf. They keep saying that they will respect the rights and interests of the omegas and don’t allow others to harass or abuse omegas at will, especially insulting an aristocratic omega.

Yes, the treatment of civilian omegas and noble omegas is different. Some alphas privately say that the punishment for rape/violence of a civilian omega is not as heavy as a noble omega.

If you happen to encounter an omega like Tang Bai who is so powerful and has time and is too vengeful, it is considered that Tang Bai's performance is abnormal if he doesn't take the other side off.

Because the lawyer needed to find Xie Ruheng about the specific situation that happened at that time, Tang Bai was going to tell Xie Ruheng about the incident.

At this time, Xie Ruheng was cleaning up the garbage in the toilet. He put on plastic gloves and took out the garbage bag without changing his face.

With this punishment, he knew that the public toilets of the Federal Military Academy were cleaned once every half an hour. They had to take out the trash and mop the floor, spray deodorants and fragrances, etc., so the toilets had almost no peculiar smell.

However, Xie Ruheng was worried that he thought there was no peculiar smell, so when he went to see Tang Bai, he took a shower and changed his clothes.

“Yeah, our classmate Xie is so serious about hygiene, why not consider staying in his alma mater as a cleaner after graduation.” Qin Jun covered his nose and mouth with disgust, exaggerating.

Xie Ruheng paused as he tied the garbage bag.

Putting toilet cleaners in slums in colleges and universities is actually a hot job. Many children are eager to have such a “decent” and “relaxed” job.

Many people in the slums can only go to mines with low safety factors, eat one meal a day, sleep on the ground, and with a meager salary that can’t make ends meet, they can overwork their bodies for their job day and night, and save their savings for their children to go to school.

The best educational resource these parents can find for their children are schools in the slums that can only do literacy, save tolls, and send their children to work in urban areas.

Cleaners, babysitters, servants, waiters... these are all decent jobs.

——“Go to work at a noble house! Noble’s houses are beautiful. There are gardens, fountains, and toilets that are more fragrant than our rooms. The noble lords will also prepare a room for you, a big room, what kind of maid’s room.......”

An uneducated woman couldn’t describe the magnificence of a noble mansion in crude language. She was already very sick at that time. When she talked about the good future of being a servant, her face was sickly red.

“You serve the noble lords well. If you become a steward in the future, it will be light--what is the light...Anyway, your ancestors have light on their faces!”

She was so excited that she kept coughing and coughing up blood.

Xie Ruheng wanted to wipe it off for her, but the blood was flowing so much that she couldn't wipe it off no matter what.

Later she died.

She left Xie Ruheng a “toll”, which was a large amount of money for Xie Ruheng at the time. With this money, he could go through the walls of slums and urban areas, and do whatever he wanted in the urban areas. Even begging was good.

But he didn't.

He used the money to bury his mother.

“Can you still be in a daze at work?” Qin Jun spat out on the ground, and looked at Xie Ruheng provocatively, and said: “It's dirty here, lick it clean.”

The dark phoenix eyes looked at him quietly, without any obvious mood swings, but a trembling calm.

It's like... looking at a corpse.

Under such gaze, the bruise on his neck faintly ached. At this moment, Qin Jun remembered the fear of being wrung by Xie Ruheng, his neck shrank, and his body actually subconsciously showed fear.

After reacting to what he had done, Qin Jun looked like a cat with its tail stomped on, with a grim expression, he gritted his teeth, and said: “Lick, do you want me to say it again?!”

What's to be afraid of? It's just a bug from a slum, how strong can it be, dare to kill him? In the end, it's not about cleaning the toilet for him honestly!

“Dingdong~” A message prompt sounded.

Xie Ruheng ignored Qin Jun and turned on his light brain to read the message from Tang Bai.

Tang Bai first impatiently asked Xie Ruheng why he was bullied and didn’t tell him. The next second he changed his style and said irritably that he had found a lawyer who defended his rights. He would not have his surname Tang sullied unless he peeled off Qin Jun. In the end, he said he wanted to come over and do some cleaning with Xie Ruheng.

The tone is seamlessly switched between cute and fierce cutie.

——“Thank you brother, don't be angry. I will protect you this time, okay? See if I won't screw off the head of that Qin Jun bastard!”

Xie Ruheng looked down at Tang Bai and listened to his curse words, and suddenly remembered many times before, when his parents were still alive, someone had defended him without hesitation.

*

Tang Bai regretted his actions after a series of texts insulting Qin Jun, how could he explode in front of the light of the omegas!

It’s fine to scold Qin Jun, but his sweet and lovely image in Xie Ruheng's heart was all ruined!

Tang Bai wanted to cry without tears, he just wanted to help Xie Ruheng share the punishment to reshape his image, but Xie Ruheng declined Tang Bai's plan to help previously.

Xie Ruheng took the time to chat with the lawyer. After the lawyer recorded Qin Jun's curse at that time and showed him to Tang Bai, he was reading the thick copy of《Mecha Reconstruction and Coating Technology》Tang Bai: “......”

He smiled and raised his middle finger, and yelled “Screw you!” sweetly.

*

Qin Jun, who was applying ointment on his neck, suddenly sneezed. He stared at the bruise on his neck in the mirror with a gloomy expression and recalled in his mind the shameful scene of being choked by Xie Ruheng yesterday.

It's so cheap just to let Xie Ruheng clean the toilet for a month!

A sudden light brain message interrupted Qin Jun's revenge plan in his mind. He rubbed his neck, clicked on it, and found that he had received a lawyer's letter.

Qin Jun: “......?!”
