The Tang Family’s Seven Os - Chapter 135
Tang Liu Yuan turned around and walked ahead, Xia Cheng Lang following behind him. The sky was a bit gloomy today, with dark clouds in the distance, but Xia Cheng Lang was in a bright mood, the corners of his mouth rising in pleasure and his steps relaxed.
As he took a few steps, he suddenly remembered that he is now a soft Omega, and one that had just been mobbed by Alphas.
His eyes rolled as he thought about the way all those Omegas used to seduce him.
He stopped in his tracks and looked at Tang Liu Yuan before pounding his legs and saying in a pinched voice: “Liu Yuan, wait for me, my legs are weak, I can’t walk.”
When Tang Liu Yuan stopped and heard his name, he was unused to it and was stunned for a moment, but pursed his lips and said nothing more, only frowning slightly and looking back at Xia Cheng Lang, as if he didn’t know how to face Xia Cheng Lang’s sudden complaint, or rather, coquetry.
Not used to comforting people, he said after a moment of silence: “We’re almost there, you……hold on for a while.”
Xia Cheng Lang smiled and enjoyed the change in his expression. With Tang Liu Yuan’s frosty face, even the slightest change in expression was vivid and beautiful.
He finished the milk tea in his hand, shook the empty cup towards Tang Liu Yuan and said pitifully: “Finished drinking, the bin is so far away……”
“……” Tang Liu Yuan glanced at the bin a meter away, slightly lowered his eyes, took the milk tea from Xia Cheng Lang’s hand and went to throw it away by the bin without saying a word.
Xia Cheng Lang kept watching him with a smile. When he walked back, Xia Cheng Lang raised his hand and touched his forehead, saying softly: “Liu Yuan, I’m a little dizzy from the sun.”
Tang Liu Yuan looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, reached towards his own head, took the baseball cap off and put it onto Xia Cheng Lang’s head, “Alright, let’s go quickly.”
His tone was neither impatient nor annoyed, just urging expressionlessly, walking forward at a noticeably slower pace, his hands in his pockets, his long back stretched out by the falling sunset.
Xia Cheng Lang moved slowly to put the hat on his head, reaching out to touch his chest, inexplicably feeling teased.
No wonder Chen She said that there were many Omegas who, after hearing that Tang Liu Yuan wanted to find an Omega as a partner, all scrambled to get together with Tang Liu Yuan. Even though it was still absurd for an Omega to be with an Omega with the current medical technology, they didn’t back down.
This time Xia Cheng Lang did not toss anymore and honestly followed behind Tang Liu Yuan back to where Tang Liu Yuan lived.
Tang Liu Yuan’s house was a simple two-bedroom house in a safe and quiet neighbourhood, decorated in a warm and welcoming way, with two hanging signs on the door of each of the two bedrooms, one with six circles and one with seven drawn on.
Xia Cheng Lang silently counted the number of circles, “……” it really is simple and clear.
When Tang Liu Yuan saw him staring at the hanging sign, he explained with some embarrassment: “My brother drew it.”
Tang Liu Yuan’s voice was so low and soft that Xia Cheng Lang couldn’t help but smile, “Very cute.”
Tang Liu Yuan pointed in the direction of the bathroom, “The bathroom is over there, I’ve brought out all the things you’d need for a shower, they’re placed on the shelf at the side.”
Xia Cheng Lang nodded and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.
Tang Liu Yuan stood in the living room thinking for a while, went back inside to find a new pair of underwear, knocked on the door, stretched a hand in and handed it to him, “These are new.”
Xia Cheng Lang pulled the door open, he had already taken off his shirt and was wearing only a pair of trousers, hanging loosely from his waist, revealing his lean abs.
Tang Liu Yuan was startled to see him suddenly open the door. Seeing him with his upper body naked, he turned his head slightly sideways unadjusted. Although Xia Cheng Lang was an Omega like him, his figure seemed to be even better than the average Alpha. Obviously only in his teens, his figure already had muscles, and the lines of his muscles carried the unique youthfulness of a teenager, which looked very good at first glance.
Xia Cheng Lang hooked his fingers around the edge of the underwear and held them in his hand to look at them, the corners of his mouth raised in a bright smile, “What should I do? The underwear seems……a little small.”
Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes darted around his waist and swept a rough estimate, the size did seem to be not quite right, he asked without much thought, “What size do you wear?”
The smile on Xia Cheng Lang’s face widened and without hesitation, he said a size that would make a man proud.
Unfortunately, Tang Liu Yuan didn’t realise how ambiguous the question was and after hearing the answer, he nodded with an unchanged expression and closed the door again for Xia Cheng Lang.
Xia Cheng Lang looked at the closed door, his breath caught in his throat, he couldn’t help shaking his head and sighed. It was obviously a good opportunity to flirt, but Tang Liu Yuan’s cold, frosty face was able to scatter all the ambiguity leaving nothing.
He took off his clothes, turned on the shower, and the sound of rushing water rang out. The water flowed down his cheeks slowly, and the warm water slid over his body, very comfortable.
The Omega pheromone camouflage that Chen She had found for him was a premium model, unlike the usual external camouflage, this one needed to be taken orally, and after the drug was drunk, the effect would last for two days, unlike the usual camouflage that would basically dissipate after a shower.
He picked up the shower gel from the shelf and looked at it. The shower gel was mint scented and cool on his body, he could not help but smile, it was really just like Tang Liu Yuan that person, cool and refreshing.
He finished showering efficiently1干净利落 (gān jìng lì luò): an idiom, it describes the absence of superfluous things; pleasing to the eye; it also describes skilful, agile and accurate movements., turned off the shower and just raised his hand to wipe the water droplets off his face when he heard Tang Liu Yuan knocking at the door again.
Tang Liu Yuan’s whole body was outside, the door only opened a little so that he can stretch his arm into the gap, and his voice was calm and unwavering. “Here you go.”
Xia Cheng Lang was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the underwear and opened the package. The underwear were exactly the size he had just mentioned, and should have been bought by Tang Liu Yuan at the supermarket downstairs just now.
Xia Cheng Lang couldn’t help laughing, he had only wanted to tease Tang Liu Yuan a bit but he never imagined that Tang Liu Yuan, who looked cold, would be cold on the outside but hot on the inside, and would actually go and buy him a new pair of underwear.
It seemed that, as Chen She had said, Tang Liu Yuan was a bro con. If he hadn’t provoked Tang Qi Yuan earlier, Tang Liu Yuan wouldn’t have gotten angry and hit him. He raised his eyebrows, it looks like he’ll have to go and apologise to Tang Qi Yuan when he has the time.
He quickly changed into his underwear, casually put a bath towel around his waist, and walked out of the bathroom.
The sky had gotten dark at some point and the wind was crackling and blowing the leaves outside.
The wind howled outside, Tang Liu Yuan sat on the sofa quietly reading a book, totally unaffected. He raised his head slightly at the sound of the bathroom door opening and saw Xia Cheng Lang’s naked upper body, his gaze flickering slightly.
Xia Cheng Lang smiled gently at him with a harmless look on his face, “I like to wait for the moisture on my body to completely dissipate before I put on my clothes after taking a shower, do you mind?”
Tang Liu Yuan shook his head blandly, “It’s okay.”
Xia Cheng Lang sat down casually next to him and said in a low voice: “The underwear fits perfectly, thanks.”
His voice was watery and mixed with an ambiguous huskiness, but Tang Liu Yuan was unmoved, just saying calmly: “You’re welcome.”
Xia Cheng Lang was a bit bored, he had already sacrificed his sexuality and was talking about such an ambiguous topic, why did Tang Liu Yuan not react at all?
Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes faintly moved to Xia Cheng Lang’s dripping hair. He closed his book, stood up and found a towel, handing it to Xia Cheng Lang, “Wipe it ba, the hair dryer at home is broken, I haven’t had time to buy one yet.”
Xia Cheng Lang took the towel and wiped his hair vigorously, his black hair was rubbed into a mess, which did not affect his handsomeness but made him look a bit unruly.
Tang Liu Yuan had gone to the fridge to get a bottle of water. When he came back and saw Xia Cheng Lang’s appearance, he paused for a moment, his eyes falling on Xia Cheng Lang’s taut waist and stomach as he raised his hands to wipe his hair. Suddenly, he felt a little stuffy in the house. He looked away unnaturally, walked over and handed the water to Xia Cheng Lang.
Xia Cheng Lang took the water bottle and his depression dissipated a little. He had just taken a shower and was indeed thirsty. Tang Liu Yuan looked cold on the outside, but he was actually very attentive, wondering if it is because he often took care of his younger brother that he is very good at caring for others.
He took the water bottle and was just about to unscrew the cap when his movements suddenly stopped. After a few seconds pause, he pretended to ‘forcefully’ twist the cap a few times, then looked at the motionless cap, frowned in distress, looked up and said to Tang Liu Yuan: “This cap is too tight, my hands are hurting from twisting it. ”
“……” Tang Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, took the water bottle, handed it back to Xia Cheng Lang after unscrewing it, gave a look of ‘it’s hard to describe with a few words’, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but tried to hold back.
“Thanks.” Xia Cheng Lang took the water bottle and gave a grateful expression.
Tang Liu Yuan glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and said meaningfully: “It’s getting dark.”
Xia Cheng Lang pretended not to hear and lowered his head to take a sip of water. He understood what Tang Liu Yuan meant but he didn’t want to leave so soon, so instead of answering, he asked: “Do you have a face mask?”
He remembered an occasion when he went to Chen She’s house, he happened to bump into Chen She’s Omega boyfriend who was also there. That Omega just immediately started putting on a face mask after taking a shower.
“En?” Tang Liu Yuan froze for a moment.
Xia Cheng Lang touched his face and said cheekily: “I want to put on a face mask, I have the habit of putting on a face mask after I take a shower, otherwise my skin will be dry.” He thought about what Chen She’s boyfriend had said at the time and explained: “When the pores of the skin are open just after showering, the effects of applying a face mask will be the best and can absorb nutrients very well……”
Tang Liu Yuan could not listen to this and hurriedly interrupted him, “Don’t have, neither Xiao Qi nor I have the habit of applying face masks.”
“Oh……” Xia Cheng Lang was a little disappointed, he thought all Omegas had to apply face masks. He pretended be disappointed and lowered his eyebrows but in fact, he was mentally contemplating what other excuses he could use to stay a little longer.
Tang Liu Yuan didn’t see his little thoughts, but took a glance at the sky outside and said: “You should go back soon, or your family will be worried.”
As soon as his words fell, a bolt of lightning struck outside the house, illuminating the entire house for an instant, followed by several booming thunderbolts, one louder than the other, and a heavy rain fell abruptly, the rain dripping down on the windows, interrupting the sound of the two speaking.
Xia Cheng Lang’s heart fluttered, and as another thunder struck down, he squealed and flung himself into Tang Liu Yuan’s arms, performing a ‘big bird depending on a person2小鸟依人 (xiǎo niǎo yī rén): an idiom, metaphorically refers to attach to the powerful, it also refers to being attached to people in a difficult situation; Later, it is often used to describe the petite and lovely appearance of girls or children. Author replaced the word 小 (small) with 大 (big) probably because XCL is physically big.‘, his huge body struggling to shrink into Tang Liu Yuan’s arms, constantly ‘shivering’.
Tang Liu Yuan’s body stiffened for a moment, incredulously looking down at Xia Cheng Lang who suddenly appeared in his arms.
A stunned expression appeared on his usually indifferent face, “You……are afraid of the sound of thunder?”
“En!” Xia Cheng Lang nodded softly in his arms, “Thunder is so scary, people3He refers to himself as 人家 (rén jiā) which is a super coquettish way of speaking when used as a self apallation. is an Omega ma.”
Tang Liu Yuan’s forehead jumped, and he finally couldn’t help but say what he had wanted to say for a long time, “Even if you are an Omega, you are still a man.”
Xia Cheng Lang choked for a moment and asked back: “……Can’t a man be afraid of thunder?”
Tang Liu Yuan was silent……seems impossible to refute.
“Men can’t be unable to walk? Men can’t be unable to unscrew the cap of a bottle? Men can’t apply face masks?” Xia Cheng Lang pushed his luck4得寸进尺 (dé cùn jìn chǐ): an idiom, lit. getting an inch and wanting a foot, a metaphor for insatiable greed., asking questions one after another, feeling like he was simply possessed by a drama queen5小作精 (xiǎo zuò jīng): an internet buzzword, a derogatory term for someone who behaves in an unnatural and contrived manner. and relishing it.
“……Sorry.” Tang Liu Yuan looked down at his toned, muscular arm that couldn’t unscrew the cap of the bottle and apologised sincerely.
