When Two Alphas Meet, One’s an Omega

Jian Songyi bowed his head and tucked his hands in his pockets as he walked quickly to the dormitory.

 

But suddenly, someone grabbed him by the shoulder abruptly. Jian Songyi had to gasp for air when he saw that it was Pingtou. “I finally caught up with you. Why are you walking so fast?”

 

“Why are you following me?”

 

“I finally finished the exam. I can’t hold it any longer. I have to ask you. Tell me, what is going on between you and Bai Huai.”

 

“I already told you.” Jian Songyi replied before pulling his arm away from him. He then started walking slowly towards the dormitory again.

 

Brother Pingtou was more than crazy right now for Jian Songyi to be able to shake him off that easily: “No! That’s wrong! Absolutely unacceptable! I refuse to see that you have a purely Alpha-to-Alpha relationship! Would ordinary friends travel thousands of miles just to see you two days earlier?”

 

Jian Songyi stopped in his tracks just so he could look over at Brother Pingtou. “What do you mean?”

 

“Oh, yes.” The flathead suddenly reacted, “I haven’t told you what happened before last night since you’ve gotten yourself a fever. It was Bai Huai who took care of you all night, but he was afraid that you would be distracted from the competition. That’s why he told me not to tell you. Now, I dare to say since we already finished the exam.”

 

“Did you call?” Jian Songyi asked him.

 

“No. You were always calling for him when you had a fever. I thought it was the same as when my girlfriend always looked for me whenever she is not feeling well. I would coax her all the time and then she would behave and feel better. I wanted Bai Huai to coax you with a few words, so I called him. But when I called, he was already in Beicheng. He arrived at the hospital ten minutes after asking me for my address.”

 

As a matter of fact, Bai Huai came as soon as he finished his exam.

 

Like a fool, he took the flight just to see him two days earlier. He went into so much trouble just for that.

 

Jian Songyi let out a shaky breath as he went to the dormitory building quickly. She wanted to find a counselor to get to her cell phone and ask where Bai Huai was now.

 

Meanwhile, the flathead followed him while babbling all the way: “You don’t know, but when Bai Huai arrived yesterday, it was snowing so hard that his head was covered in snow. His hair was frozen, and his face was completely paralyzed. As soon as he saw you, his eyes reddened too.”

 

Jian Songyi could only imagine it for a moment as his heart ached.

 

“Forget it. Do you even have any idea how he took care of you?” the flathead continued to speak. “You have a fever, and your mouth is so dry that you can’t open your mouth to even drink water. Thus, Bai Huai used a cotton swab to dip it in and mear it on your lips for you. I’ve never seen someone have such good patience. He moistened your lips with two glasses of water.”

 

“Not to mention the fact that you were very annoying that night. You kept on shouting, and if anyone refused to answer you, you frowned and lost your temper. That’s also the main reason why Bai Huai didn’t get any sleep at all. He has been there answering and replying to your nonsense. I already woke up and slept back and he was still there to watch you. He really is good-tempered.”

 

“Plus, haven’t you realized that you don’t have any frostbite in your hands anymore? He found a small basin and put some warm water in it. He would soak your hand on it back and forth. He’d rub it and then apply the ointment for you. He even changes the hot water bag. He went to all that trouble. I see that he is also a big young man. How can he take care of people so well? “

 

“After caring for you all night, he didn’t sleep a wink. And when I was about to leave that morning, he asked me not to tell you he was here before you finished the exam for fear that you would be distracted.”

 

“And now you’re telling me that you’re just childhood friends? Do you think you are lying to a ghost?”

 

“So what on earth is your relationship? He treats you so well from the bottom of his heart.”

 

……….

 

Jian Songyi never said a word. He can only listen to his story silently. Based on the flathead’s description, he imagined the picture bit by bit. It’s like a blunt knife ever so slowly piercing through his heart, causing havoc and pain in his heart. The soreness from his heart and the tip of his nose are worsening, and he can feel his legs moving faster and faster. He wanted to fly to Bai Huai as soon as possible.

 

How could BaiHuai be so good?

 

He can’t be that good, can he?

 

Bai Huai was so good that he felt so bad. Jian Songyi felt that he is unworthy of all of it. He was worried that Bai Huai, as the flathead said, that after Bai Huai doesn’t get a response, he would then run away from him. 

 

Jian Songyi was so afraid that he felt like he was about to go crazy.

 

When he thought of it, he walked faster and faster, so fast that Pingtou could hardly keep up with him.

 

He followed painstakingly. Brother Pingtou gasped desperately for a long time. When he then recovered, he shouted, “Slow down. I just remembered. He said he was waiting for you at the school gate today and asked you to find him after the exam. He’s probably still waiting, ah. What are you doing? Don’t run so fast! You might fall!”

 

Jian Songyi was furious. 

 

Why didn’t this man say the most important thing earlier? On such a cold day, with so much snow, what would he do when Bai Huai freezes? He ran a few steps and then stopped to ask, “Which school gate?”

 

There are four gates at Beicheng University.

 

“I didn’t ask. “

 

It was enough to make Jian Songyi more frustrated. He ran to the nearest gate without saying a word.

 

East Gate

 

No.

 

North Gate

 

No.

 

West Gate 

 

No.

 

It’s the winter in the snowy north. Every step that he takes while running, the cold wind rattles against him enough to tear his face like blades sweeping across every inch of his skin and bones.

 

His face hurts. His chest hurts. His heart hurts. 

 

And then there’s also the corner of his eyes, which are flushed by the cold air. 

 

But nonetheless, Jian Songyi didn’t stop even just for a moment. He had never run so fast. Not even compared to the 3000-meter race he participated in.

 

When he saw that the west gate was empty, he did not hesitate at all and immediately ran to the south gate.

 

After the east gate, the north gate, and the west gate, there is only the south gate.

 

Although he has taken many detours, it doesn’t matter because he knows that Bai Huai must be waiting for him at the end of the rest of the road.

 

They always meet.

 

Jian Songyi ran for a long time until he could finally see the road ahead. Although it’s still that far, he saw Bai Huai through the snow and wind.

 

Bai Huai was wearing a black coat as he stood there quietly with his hands in his pocket. His head was slightly lowered as he stood there looking indifferent.

 

Bai Huai was just standing there. For some reason, Jian Songyi suddenly felt calm, the corner of his eyes becoming sore and stingy.

 

His Bai Huai came. From the North to the South. And now, from the South to the North. He went around through the stormy night just to come.

 

He must have had a hard time along the way.

 

Jian Songyi adjusts his breathing pattern as he walks toward Bai Huai step by step, unswervingly.

 

Bai Huai seemed to notice his presence when he looked up and saw Jian Songyi. Bai Huai immediately smiled and took his hand out of his pocket to gently open his arms towards him.

 

So without thinking about it, Jian Songyi changed his stance from walking to running. Regardless of the people coming and going at the school gate, he ran all the way to the crowd and snow. He ran into Bai Huai’s arms and hugged him.

Bai Huai closed his arms and wrapped them around Jian Songyi with a soft chuckle: “Why are you running? I am not going anywhere.”

 

Jian Songyi gasped for air and did not speak. But he looked at Bai Huai with his eyes glowing red.

 

Bai Huai helped him brush off the snow beads on the ends of his hair and rubbed his face: “Look at you running. Your face has been frozen. Is frostbite on your hands not enough for you? How come you can’t take care of yourself that as soon as you leave you get yourself sick?  Are you a fool?”

 

“I am not a fool.”

 

“You’re not a fool? I know you’re a little fool, so I came as soon as I finished my exam. I didn’t even have time to prepare a Christmas present for you. I thought I’d pick you up this Christmas and give you a table… “

 

Without waiting for Bai Huai to express his love, Jian Songyi looked up and kissed him.

 

Four cold lips bring warmth to the two people’s whole bodies.

 

The snow fell quietly, and passers-by looked sideways one after another.

 

Jian Songyi has always been a very thinned-skinned person, but he has nothing to be ashamed of.

 

He just wanted to kiss Bai Huai, and he couldn’t wait a moment longer.

 

After a long kiss, he finally loosened his lips. Jian Songyi blushed lightly and whispered, “It doesn’t matter. I’ve prepared a Christmas present this time.”

 

Bai Huai gently printed a kiss on his forehead: “Where is the gift?”

 

Jian Songyi flushed and put his hands on Bai Huai’s pocket.

 

“It’s in your pocket.”

 

 

 

……….
