When Two Alphas Meet, One’s an Omega

Chapter 20

 

Bai Huai is a few centimeters taller than Jian Songyi, and he doesn’t care much at ordinary times, which is particularly obvious at this time.

 

When Bai Huai bowed his head, the tip of their noses almost touched each other, and their warm breaths fanned all over their faces as it could not be avoided. Not to mention the fact that his hands are still around his waist.

 

Jian Songyi felt that this posture seemed to be a little inappropriate.

 

Then it happened that the man in front of him withdrew his gentle scum smile. His facial features soften as his amber eyes were camouflaged by his golden glasses, showing nothing but his lustrous indifference.

 

Bai Huai seems to be serious, too serious even that Jian Songyi suspects that he is thinking about something rubbish again.

 

After all, they both dislike each other for more than ten years now. But then there’s also the fact that he did not take himself as an Omega back then. So in the end, all that he is now is uncomfortable.

 

In fact, his hormones are starting to bounce blindly inside of him after differentiation as if Bai Huai has this different effect on him so suddenly.

 

Jian Songyi feels that he must show Bai Huai weakness, let alone let himself display his discomfort and give Bai Huai a chance to laugh at him. So, he kept a straight face, pursing his lips in a fine thin line as if he is a young man meant for these military clothes. He ought to wear them with pride. 

 

And yet, Bai Huai’s fingers are still there, whether intentional or not, he crossed Jian Songyi’s waist. With a little effort and utmost gentle, Jian Songyi straightened himself to impose his dominance, only to make his breath hitch back to his throat.

 

What the fuck. This must have been intentional. Bai Huai might make fun of him later.

 

Thus, Jian Songyi raised a brow of his upward. He was ready to question him, but Bai Huai had already loosened his grasp around his waist. One of his hands presses a spot on the belt, and then he went ahead to take a portable puncher from his bag.

 

With a click, there is already a small hole in position.

After two more clicks, Jian Songyi’s belt is now properly fastened. 

 

As soon as it was done, Bai Huai still didn’t utter a word. Instead, he pulled himself away and hid the tool back in his bag. He left Jian Songyi completely dumbfounded on his feet.

 

Bai Huai didn’t even take credit for Jian Songyi’s fit.

 

Scratching the back of his head in confusion, Jian Songyi looked down at his belt that is now perfectly sitting on his waist. The belt is now perfectly looped around him, thanks to the new holes Bai Huai punched for him.

 

So Bai Huai is just helping him buckle his belt?

 

Jian Songyi suddenly felt embarrassed. He had thought wrong of Bai Huai again. He thought he was sabotaging him when in truth is that he is actually helping him. 

 

He pursed his lips before saying, “Thank you.”

 

“It’s alright.” Bai Huai faintly replies as if he is a calm water in the mountain lakes.

 

He turned his back to Jian Songyi as he could not help himself but crack a small smile. Bai Huai saw the tint of redness on his cheeks, and he could only think why. He has an idea of what Jian Songyi was thinking, and it is not something so innocent.

 

The little Jian Songyi, who was partly grateful and innocent continued to study his belt. “Where did you get the puncher?” He asked.

 

“When I saw Yu Ziguo trying on his military uniform earlier, I thought that your waist was probably no better than him, so I went to buy one.”

 

No wonder Bai Huai suddenly disappeared for a long time.

 

Bai Huai is as thoughtful as an old witch.

 

For a moment, Jian Songyi had no clue on what to say, so he buried himself in studying his belt buckle awkwardly. As soon as he had gotten tired of it, Bai Huai threw the puncher to his direction.

 

Due to his quick reflexes, he caught it.” What?”

 

“Give it to Yang Yue.”

 

“Yang Yue has no use for this. Her round body will fit just fine with that belt.”

 

“Let Yang Yue give it to Yu Ziguo.”

 

“Then why not give it directly to Yu Ziguo?”

 

“…..”

 

Bai Huai looked at Jian Songyi with his eyebrow raised. He stared at his puzzled expression for a full ten seconds.

 

Resigned to his fate, he lowered his eyes in defeat before muttering: “Fine. I’ll hand it to Yang Yue.”

 

Sure enough, there are times when Jian Songyi is so slow. He is like a single-celled creature floating to the unknown and throwing him into a cup of soda with salt will just do the trick to make him drown in minutes.

 

Bai Huai doesn’t look so impressed. He gave him that be-grateful-you-are-not-a-fool-look. Jian Songyi is about to tug his hair in confusion. What is it that he misunderstood just now? What’s between Yang Yue and Yu Ziguo? He thought that maybe they did something for his gain, so he didn’t force anything out of it anymore.

 

He fiddled with the puncher. “Don’t you need it yourself?”

 

Bai Huai held out his hand to him and drew a distance between his index finger and thumb: “See this cut?”

 

“?”

 

“I happen to be a little taller than you, so I don’t need it.”

 

“…..”

 

Jian Songyi moved his eyes to Bai Huai’s waist. He then remembered the muscle lines that he had vaguely seen in the hospital that day.

 

He hates to admit it, but Bai Huai is not only taller than him. He is also stronger than him. Although he looks thin in his clothes, taking them off and you’d be able to tell that he is the perfect Alpha.

 

Show off.

 

Bai Huai is a total show-off.

 

Jian Songyi lets out a sigh. He was about to open his mouth when there was a cry of surprise that cut him off.

 

“Oh my! Brother Song… I’ve been sneaking around only to see the two of you look like two lonely widows.”

 

“?”

 

Did she just compare them to what now?

 

“And Brother Song, you lost! Oh my god!”

 

Yang Yue covered her mouth with her small hands. Her eyes widen while staring at Bai Huai, who is now wearing his military uniform. She is struck by both shock and envy.

 

Bai Huai: “…..”

 

Jian Songyi: “…..”

 

“Get out,” They said in unison.

 

“Oh, but wait. I have come to remind you that there will be no hot water anymore after 11:00 this evening. If you want to take a bath, you should probably do it now.” Yang Yue announced with her usual composed tone. She looks very delicate and frightening, which Yang Yue didn’t realize.

 

“So… Brother Song, Master Huai, let’s take a bath together! I want to compete for my body against the two of you too!” She exclaimed out of character.

 

“…..”

 

With a cold face, Bai Huai took the puncher from Jian Songyi and shoved it over to Yang Yue. “Take this to your Yu Ziguo.”

 

“Hey.” Yang Yue walked out of the door and reluctantly hold against the doorframe. She looked at them mournfully. “Obviously, all of us are the best in our year. We are in the top three spots. I am included too, so why don’t you always let me hang out with you two? I am not included in the first bet, and now you are excluding me in the body competition too. Do you isolate and look down on me?”

 

“Yes.” They once again said in unison.

 

Yang Yue stared at Bai Huai and Jian Songyi for three seconds before choosing to leave this sad place. 

Because of this encounter, Bai Huai learned the important lesson of locking the door first before fully going inside. 

 

“What are you going to do about showering?” Bai Huai asked as he returned his gaze towards Jian Songyi.

 

Even if he is not an Omega, Jian Songyi and Bai Huai don’t wish to huddle naked in the public bathroom with a large group of people. 

 

What’s more, is that Jian Songyi is an Omega. 

 

With that in mind, Jian Songyi didn’t think about his response: “Wait until after 11:00.”

 

With the temperature around this season, boys of their age won’t have a problem taking a cold bath so Bai Huai also agreed. 

 

While nodding, Bai Huai speaks. “Ready your things then. I’ll go out for a while.”

 

Once Bai Huai had returned, he has two thermoses in hand along with two basins. It’s already enough for them to have a warm bath later.

 

Sometimes Jian Songyi doesn’t really understand where Bai Huai’s abilities come from. 

 

He is obviously a young man with distinguished family background, but he seems to know everything. No one can beat him. His solving abilities and critical thinking are understated that he can turn a major problem into nothing with just a snap of his fingers.

 

Such comparison makes him look like second-generation garbage who can’t properly take care of himself. 

 

To be fair, there is really nothing wrong with this man except that he has a dark heart and a venomous mouth.

 

Jian Songyi doesn’t like Bai Huai, but whenever he loses his temper with him, he suddenly feels like he is being unreasonable. After all, Bai Huai is so considerate and warm-hearted that he pokes back his temper he was about to send to him every time.

 

Bai Huai.

 

He’s a fucking scheming dog.

 

Jian Songyi was conflicted about whether to think that Bai Huai is scheming something with the hot water that he is carrying. But then again, hot water is not typical material for pranks.
