When Two Alphas Meet, One’s an Omega

Chapter 45 – To Pick You Up in Your Triumphant Return

 

Willing to gamble and admit defeat.

 

Jian Songyi then remembered that he had said that if he came in first in the monthly exam this time, then Bai Huai would have to answer a question of his honestly.

 

On his last birthday, Jian Songyi wasted an opportunity to ask a question to Bai Huai because he thought he has nothing to ask.

 

However, only half a month later, he took initiative to ask for this opportunity again because he couldn’t really figure a lot of things out on his own. 

 

For example, Like why on Earth did Bai Huai suddenly return to Nancheng?

 

What exactly is Bai Huai’s concern in Nancheng?

 

And then there’s also this question: Why is he always nice to him?

 

And also the fact that even after several times of heat encounters, why did he not touch him? Does it mean that they just really treat each other as brothers?

 

Then his password: 0101. It is not really a random setting. It is Jian Songyi’s birthday. He would also like to question that.

 

These questions could have been asked confidently, but Jian Songyi suddenly felt guilty.

 

The heart is weak, from the time he asked the question: “Are you secretly in love with me”From there, the thick hard rock layer struggled but something eventually sprouted.

 

Jian Songyi looked at the white avatar on his phone screen. He pursed his lips as stared over at his message for a while. His fingertips gently tapped his screen for more than a while as he kept on thinking. No one dared to disturb him.

 

After the strenuous activity that he overcame, his fast heartbeat ever so slowly calmed down as his sweat evaporated, and his body temperature cooled down. Jian Songyi’s breathing is already smooth now as well.

 

Only the bottom of his heart is still reckless and disorganized.

 

Jian Songyi typed in a line of words and thought of it long and hard only to delete the texts formed and start all over again. He kept on going over and over again. He will type and delete it once he deemed it inappropriate. 

 

Jian Songyi suddenly felt as if he was back three years ago.

 

It was a very ordinary day.

 

The sun and the blue sky are present like every day of the year. And from there, a plane would come across the air that will leave a long and white cloud as it cross through. And then slowly, that cloud will dissipate. 

 

It’s the very same day wherein Bai Huai left. He suddenly left him without a word even. He just didn’t come back one day without even knowing the reason behind it. 

 

There’s only one last level left in the game for two people. There’s this birthday gift Jian Songyi prepared for Bai Huai that he hadn’t had the time to send out, and then the information Bai Huai compiled for Jian Songyi that is still resting on the table. 

 

Only the small cedar on the window and the door platform was the evidence, but it’s both gone now as well.

 

That night, Jian Songyi went to the market by himself. After the long selection, he picked a small cedar that looked like Bai Huai’s the most. He took it home and placed it on his balcony just to pretend as if nothing was changed and nothing was lost. 

 

That same night, he hid himself in the quilt and stayed up all night. He told himself that he might get a hold of Bai Huai and talk to Bai Huai as soon as Bai Huai had gotten off the plane. So, he went home and patiently charged his phone.

 

But no, nothing had happened.

 

That night was the same as what he is doing now. He is inputting words and simply deleting them thereafter over and over again like a predicted cycle of foolishness. His messages were never sent out to Bai Huai. 

 

So, later during the holidays, Jian Songyi copied a supposed mass message, but only sent it to Bai Huai. Unfortunately, he did not get a single symbolic reply whatsoever from him. Only then did he realize that Bai Huai had really left him. 

 

No one watched him anymore just to make sure he eats thrice a day. No one takes away his ice water anymore when he gets cold. And no one has to coax him anymore just so he can overcome his picky habits.

 

Jian Songyi is not short of friends, but there is no one like Bai Huai. 

 

As the seasons continued to pass, he didn’t know how, but he came into a decision that he should take off Bai Huai’s WeChat and pretend that he had never had such a friend. He pretended that Bai Huai had ever occupied most of his life for as long as he could remember. 

 

Jian Songyi had finally made peace with that, and yet suddenly, Bai Huai returned without even a single warning.

 

At that time, he was really angry at him.

 

But the man was too overbearing and unreasonable as if he had never been missing in those three years. He remembered all the minor flaws he liked and disliked.

 

Bai Huai was so kind to Jian Songyi that he could not bear to be mad anymore. 

 

Over the past decade or so, he thought that he had long gone beyond friendship and reached family affection.

 

But now, he is not so sure. 

 

He is not sure about Bai Huai, let alone his feelings himself. 

 

Jian Songyi is aware that he cares for Bai Huai, but he could not actually tell why he cared.

 

He grabbed his hair and re-entered his message for the tenth time.

 

When suddenly, a banner suddenly appeared. It was a text message from a strange number.

 

Message content: [This is Wang Hai. I heard something from my brother about Bai Huai before he went to Beicheng. It has something to do with you. I think you should be interested to know. See you in the old street, Fangcao Alley. Or I will post it.]

 

It most probably has something to do with Wang Shan and Bai Huai’s departure.

 

Jian Songyi is interested, but not so much because he can ask Bai Huai directly about these things.

 

He did not ask through for he did not want Bai Huai to think about these unhappy experiences. 

 

He was not afraid of anything else but was afraid that the two brothers of the Wang family would come out and make Bai Huai miserable again for another three years.

 

Then he can’t stand it.

 

Jian Songyi quickly put away his phone and then stood up. He picked up his bag and walked outside of the door. When Bai Huai came back, he wouldn’t be able to go there. So it is better to solve this early and go home as soon as possible. Wang Hai is a Beta anyway. Nothing bad would happen to him. 

 

When he reached the door, Yu Ziguo stopped him and said, “Brother Song, where are you going?”

 

“I won’t attend the evening self-study today. I will meet Bai Huai, and then I’ll go straight home.” He answered.

 

“Oh, well goodbye, Brother Song! Take care!”

 

While Bai Huai is sitting in the infirmary, waiting for the doctor to pick up glucose, he looked at Jian Songyi’s icon and the small not saying [the other party is typing] at the top of the chat interface. It kept switching back on and off, making Bai Huai purse his lips while smiling faintly. His eyes were doting that he could not hide them.

 

He can almost the single-celled creature scratching his ears when he thinks about him.

 

He wanted to ask about something but is so ashamed of it so he won’t ask. But then he wouldn’t understand still, which will end up having him worry himself to death until he won’t be able to hold back his temper.

 

Bai Huai doesn’t have to imagine but assumes that Jian Songyi’s ears are now red as he kept pressing his lips into a fine thin line so that he can pretend to be calm and save face.

 

He is so cute.

 

So much that Bai Huai once had the urge to send a [love] just so he could tease him more. But at the same time, he is afraid to frighten the child, who is at a sensitive moment of evolution. So he could only wait patiently to see what question he will ask him. 

 

However, even after he waited until he had gotten back to their classroom, he didn’t receive anything. Even the notification of [the other party is typing…] is gone. The single-celled creature just stayed motionless.

 

Bai Huai could only raise his brow as he quickly made his way to their classroom. 

 

Well, Jian Songyi can not ask if he doesn’t really want to ask it. 

 

The little thing has just learned to be jealous, so it’s understandable if he wanted to pull the default.
