When Two Alphas Meet, One’s an Omega

Jian Songyi was unsure whether to find it funny or treat it as an insult.

 

“This Yu Ziguo is really ignorant and fearless. Not to mention bold.” Xu Jiaxing commented. “But Huang Ming can still be a thoughtful man. How come he be so mean to us?”

 

“Normally, everyone has a likable and annoying side. It just turns out that we are annoyed at him and he is pissed at us too.” Bai Huai said faintly.

 

However, even people who have suffered too much will feel inferior and conceited in the face of those who go well with the wind, but they will also want to take care of children who have been the same as themselves.

 

No one is as good as he thought nor as bad as he thought.

 

Bai Huai understood these principles at the age of fourteen.

 

When Jian Songyi heard Bai Huai’s remark, he suddenly turn his head and squinted his eyes toward him. “Then tell me, what’s the annoying side of me?” He asked with a dangerous tone underneath his voice.

 

“I do not seem to have found it yet.” Bai Huai smiles softly. 

 

“…..”

 

“What about you? What’s my annoying side?”

 

Jian Songyi quickly withdrew his eyes from him. He tried to keep a straight face, acting as if he is cool as usual.

 

“Everything.”

 

Bai Huai thinks the word ‘everything’ is a bit of a foul.

 

But somehow, it sounds better than ‘none’.

 

He can’t help but raise his lips into a smile.

 

Looking away from Jian Songyi, Bai Huai found Yang Yue and Xu Jiaxing looking at them in horror and dullness. Their gazes darted over him and then Jian SOngyi.

 

“You. You guys just… Are you two flirting?”

 

A bad cop.

 

Bai Huai smiles. “Yang Yue, train with 5 kg sandbags.”

 

Yang Yue: “huh?”

 

Why is she the only one who gets hurt again?

 

Forget about it. She tied it around her waist as she ran and practiced. This is the way of life: Some have looks, intelligence, good family background, and favor. While some have only fat. Thus, she should never give up!

 

All through the night, the lovely fat mushroom rolled about, while the fat mushroom’s friends slandered him and accompanied her.

 

When she finally reached the eight-minute standard time set for him, Fat Mushroom buried herself in the bunker for silent and autistic mitosis, while Bai Huai was still discussing the safest tactical arrangements for tomorrow with Xu Jiaxing.

 

Jian Songyi, on the other hand, had nothing to do. So he pulled the rope and went up to the platform to lay down. He put his hands on the back of his head, tilted his legs, and watched the sky hide blue.

 

Nancheng is located in the South wherein the urban plain areas are surrounded by mountains with flat and thick clouds in the sky. Because of this, they rarely see the starry sky at night.

 

Now here in the mountains, the wind is clear and the sky seems so near. This made the stars shine brighter than he had ever seen.

 

The night breeze of September brings the sweet fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers to the mountains through its flowers, leaves, and even insects.

 

It is said that once started singing, then the spring is coming. But when the insects do son, then the autumn is paving their way. Autumn is probably really coming.

 

Autumn is coming.

 

When Jian Songyi thought of this sentence, he immediately thought of Bai Huai. 

 

In a few days, he must remember to buy a bunch of grandiflorum.

 

Bai Huai’s Omega father likes it.

 

Jian Songyi was just thinking about Bai Huai when the devil pulled the rope and climbed up the platform as well. Bai Huai jumped lightly and landed next to Jian Songyi.

 

Jian Songyi quickly stood up. He was about to speak when Bai Huai spoke. “Hiding from me?”

 

Jain Songyi paused for a while and then slowly laid down to return to his original position. “No.”

 

It is no secret to himself already that if he happens to be alone with Bai Huai, he will eventually remember what transpired this morning and his reaction to it. It will always be a little bit uncomfortable for him.

 

Bai Huai laid down by his side and copied his position. “It’s no use hiding anyway. After all, we sleep in the same room at night. You can’t throw me to sleep in a bathroom like a husband and wife in a love quarrel.”

 

Jian Songyi felt that Bai Huai’s metaphor is taking advantage of him, but now is not the time for him to make him feel guilty for Jian Songyi is too embarrassed to find fault in his sentence.

 

But he was also afraid that Bai Huai would think about what had happened and figure him out. So though he was ashamed, he started talking: “I didn’t wait for you for dinner. I saw that you were training with Yang Yue, and I do not think it would end anytime soon. I wanted to go and buy you some hot food and bring it back as soon as I can.”

 

But then again, boys’ friendships aren’t that fragile, unlike girls, who question who has dinner with whom, who has gone to the toilet with whom, and who has whispered with whom.

 

So this explanation is somewhat irrelevant, clumsy, and unnatural.

Bai Huai raised the corners of his lips out of Jian Songyi’s sight and said softly, “I know, I’m not that stingy.”

 

“‘That’s good to know, but there’s something else.”

 

Jian Songyi hesitated to speak.

 

He has always been unforgiving and could easily turn a blind eye, but today, his tongue doesn’t seem to like to listen to him. Some words and sounds have been turned on the tip of the tongue several times, but they cannot be sent out all the time.

 

Bai Huai was in no hurry, and asked slowly and gently, “What else?”

 

“And … in the future, we have to pay attention to the discretion between the two of us.”

 

Bai tilted his head and looked at Jian Songyi.

 

His delicate and beautiful face looks much softer than usual. His eyes cease clearer and brighter under the moonlight while the tip of his ears is bright red. 

 

Whenever Bai Huai looks at him this way, he couldn’t help but realize how pure Jian Songyi is.

 

He did not know whether Jian Songyi is aware of the feelings he tried so hard to hide. His heart suddenly clenches feeling like Jian Songyi is rejecting him in disguise. It’s as if he is a cotton ball in an earbud  ever so slowly being drawn out of the strand just like that. 

 

He tried to make his voice sound more gentle: “Why?”

 

Jian Songyi thought about it for a while before saying in a very low voice: “The two of us grew up together, like brothers, and some of our actions are intimate and habitual, and there are many habits that are not easy to change. But I am an Omega right now, so don’t you think this is the right way?”

 

After saying that, he looked away, pretending to look at the two fools rolling in the sandpit not far away.

 

Bai Huai was frozen for a second and then he inclined back to look at the night sky before letting out a forced and light laugh. “Yes, you’re right.”

 

On some early autumn night, under the stars, in the scent of cinnamon, a cute straw bug evolved slightly before being sprayed to death with salt soda.

Bai Huai: My wife is arrogant and pure, and she kinds of misses the sun is all.
