The Tang Family’s Seven Os - Chapter 152

Naturally, the little milk tea did not understand Xia Cheng Lang’s words, still blinking with those ignorant eyes, secretly rubbing its’ head against Xia Cheng Lang’s hand. There was a familiar smell on Xia Cheng Lang’s body, although it hadn’t smelled it for many years, Xiao Nai Cha still unconsciously got close quickly.

Tang Liu Yuan’s feet stopped at the door and he looked at the gentle smile on Xia Cheng Lang’s face, his breath stagnated as he stood still for a moment, before he lowered his head and walked over, pulling the back of Xia Cheng Lang’s hand to disinfect it.

“Go to the hospital tomorrow and get a vaccination.”

“Okay.” Xia Cheng Lang nodded and took a bite of a peach with the hand that wasn’t injured and didn’t touch Xiao Nai Cha. The peach was crisp and sweet, and it was sweet and juicy in his mouth.

Tang Liu Yuan finished carefully disinfecting Xia Cheng Lang’s hand and rewrapped the wound on his palm in passing.

Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes were lowered, his expression serious, and he looked gentle and obedient from Xia Cheng Lang’s perspective, with a gentle curve at the corner of his mouth.

Xia Cheng Lang’s heart softened and he couldn’t help leaning over, his dark eyes looking straight into Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes,  watching him for a moment.

Tang Liu Yuan was bowing his head to bandage it seriously, when he saw the wound on Xia Cheng Lang’s hand, he frowned involuntarily, but Xia Cheng Lang’s features suddenly enlarged in front of him. He couldn’t help blinking his eyes, and staring at Xia Cheng Lang who was close at hand and was stunned.

Xia Cheng Lang’s features had become even more profound over the years, his sword brows were heroic, his eyebrows and eyes were clear, and a bottomless tenderness swirled beneath his eyes.

“Liu Yuan.” Xia Cheng Lang couldn’t help but call out softly.

“En.” Tang Liu Yuan lowered his eyes, feeling his heart beat a little faster.

“Yuan Yuan.”

“……En.”

“Liu Liu.”

Tang Liu Yuan was silent for a moment and reluctantly answered, “En.”

“Tang Tang.”

“……” Tang Liu Yuan finally couldn’t help but frown and said coldly: “My Ge’s child’s name is Tang Tang1LOL.”

“Oh ……” Xia Cheng Lang sounded disappointed.

Tang Liu Yuan suppressed the sound of his heartbeat, looked down and tied a pretty bow with the bandage and asked: “What on earth do you want?”

“Just wanted to call your name.” Xia Cheng Lang looked at Tang Liu Yuan and said softly: “I want to make up for all that I’ve missed all these years.”

Tang Liu Yuan paused for a moment, pursing his lips slightly, what is missed has already been missed, how can he make up for it, but the future is worth cherishing more.

Xia Cheng Lang continued to call out to him: “Xiao Liu?”

“You try calling one more time?” Tang Liu Yuan glanced at him coldly and raised his hand to rub his forehead, which was hurting from his calling, “Speak properly.”

Xia Cheng Lang finally calmed down, raised his bandaged hand and looked at it. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. His family’s Liu Yuan was really a beautiful person, a good-natured person, and even has deft hands, and it would be nice if he was his Omega.

Xiao Nai Cha dawdled over to him, looked pitifully at his two dads who had ignored him, and reached out to scratch at Xia Cheng Lang’s leg.

Xia Cheng Lang reached out to pick it up and put it on his lap, rubbed his flat face, took out the dried fish he had bought for him from the bag and fed him a few. After eating the dried fish, it already allowed Xia Cheng Lang to touch its tail.

Xia Cheng Lang couldn’t help but smile and took out the cat toys and played with it for a while. Xiao Nai Cha’s personality was the same as when it was a child, somewhat clingy compared to other cats.

Tang Liu Yuan put the first aid kit away and had just snapped the lid shut when he heard Xia Cheng Lang suddenly speak, “The voices I’ve sent you over the years, you’ve actually listened to them all right?”

It was only after he had left the hospital that he realised that the chat app icon he had seen had no message alerts on it, which meant that all the messages in it had already been clicked on and Tang Liu Yuan should have listened to them.

Tang Liu Yuan’s breathing stalled for a moment, he did hear Xia Cheng Lang’s voice messages, but in his voice messages over the years, Xia Cheng Lang only repeatedly said two things, ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘I like you’, and never said anything else.

“En……” Tang Liu Yuan lightly responded, stood up and put the first aid kit back on the previous position, and slowly spoke, “In your voice messages, why didn’t you say anything else?”

Xia Cheng Lang’s hand touching Xiao Nai Cha paused slightly, he was silent for a while, suddenly feeling that his mouth was a bit and eager to smoke a cigarette.

The reason why he only said these two things to Tang Liu Yuan was because he didn’t know what else to say apart from these two sentences. Talking about his recent situation, his recent situation was a mess, every day abroad he was on tenterhooks2钩心斗角 (gōu xīn dòu jiǎo): an idiom, originally referred to the exquisite internal and external structure of a palace building, but later it was used to refer to the delicate structure of poetry and literature, and also as a metaphor for the open and dark rivalry between people., he didn’t want to dirty Tang Liu Yuan’s ears, talking about the past, everything in the past was a lie, he didn’t have the face to say it.

So he could only say ‘I’m sorry’ to Tang Liu Yuan when he was unhappy, and ‘I like you’ to Tang Liu Yuan when he was happy.

Xia Cheng Lang stood up, took out his cigarette case, took a cigarette in his hand, and whispered: “I’m going out for a smoke.”

Tang Liu Yuan gave him a look, went to the box, found a lollipop and threw it to him, “Quit smoking.”

Xia Cheng Lang took the lollipop and the corners of his mouth unconsciously swung into a smile, he moved sharply and threw the cigarette box into the bin and agreed without hesitation, “Okay.”

In the past, when he was abroad, he needed cigarettes to keep him company because of loneliness, but now, he didn’t need it anymore. Besides, he is the future partner of Dr. Tang, so he should take good care of his health, listen to his doctor’s words, and not smell of cigarettes and let Dr. Tang lose face.

Xia Cheng Lang unwrapped the lollipop and put it in his mouth. The sweetness of the lollipop instantly overwhelmed the bitterness in his mouth which seemed to have a quicker effect than smoking. Cigarettes could only temporarily make him forget his troubles, but the lollipop made him feel sweet, just like Tang Liu Yuan, he felt his heart full of sweetness whenever he saw Tang Liu Yuan.

He couldn’t help but smile, looked up into Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes, plucked up his courage and asked seriously: “Liu Yuan, can we start over?”

Tang Liu Yuan’s breath stalled and he looked up at him.

Xia Cheng Lang said in a deep voice: “This time there is no deceit, no lies, only ‘like’ and ‘sorry’. In the future, I want to stay with you for the rest of my life and never leave again.”

When Xia Cheng Lang finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room, Tang Liu Yuan pursed his lips and did not reply.

Xiao Nai Cha played with the ball head and accidentally bumped the leg of the sofa, mewing twice, Tang Liu Yuan squatted down and gave it a pet on the head, suddenly speaking to break the calm in the room, “See your performance.”

Tang Liu Yuan looked at Xiao Nai Cha and couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly, his voice carrying a lingering smile that hasn’t scattered.

Xia Cheng Lang’s eyes instantly lit up and he blossomed into a smile, happily saying: “I won’t let you down again this time.”

The next morning, Xia Cheng Lang took the breakfast he had bought for Tang Liu Yuan and drove straight to the hospital. After walking into the hospital building, he walked with a breeze and his confident appearance was just one sunglass away from the domineering CEO in TV dramas.

Chen She came downstairs to eat breakfast and ran into him. Seeing his appearance, he couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, shaking his head and tsking twice, commenting simply, “Frivolous3风骚 (fēnɡ sāo): the original meaning is the “Guo Feng” from the “Book of Songs” and the “Chu Ci” represented by “Li Sao”, which is used by later generations to refer to literature; It also refers to a person’s frivolous behaviour or handsomeness and beauty. old man.”

Xia Cheng Lang threw him the breakfast he had bought in passing for him when he bought Tang Liu Yuan’s breakfast and snorted coldly: “Single old man.”

Chen She felt a real heartbreak, “……” Why did this man look so much like he deserves a beating?

Xia Cheng Lang’s mouth was hooked in an ambitious smile as he continued to walk forward until he reached Tang Liu Yuan’s door, then he stopped, straightened his clothes and hair, and gently knocked on Tang Liu Yuan’s door.

When he opened the door, he saw Sun Yu Ming standing in the room and instantly lowered the corner of his mouth.

This vixen had come to seduce his family’s Liu Yuan so early in the morning, it was really abominable, fortunately his family’s Liu Yuan was strong-willed, otherwise he would probably have been seduced by the vixen long ago.

When Sun Yu Ming saw him, he nodded lightly and said in a clear voice: “We meet again.”

Xia Cheng Lang put the breakfast in front of Tang Liu Yuan, “You eat your breakfast first.”

He looked up at Sun Yu Ming, raised a smile that is common in officialdom and said in a deep voice: “Dr Sun, I was the one who was impulsive yesterday, I’m sorry, I apologise to you.”

Sun Yu Ming looked at him with a smile, “It’s okay, I am generous4大人有大量 (dà rén yǒu dà liàng): big person with a big capacity/broad minded. SYM is being somewhat sarcastic imo and implying that XCL is a small narrow minded person..”

Xia Cheng Lang: “Heh……”

Tang Liu Yuan watched them quietly and curled his lips not quite noticeably, the smell of gunpowder between them was a little thick but Xia Cheng Lang had officially apologised today. He put his mind at ease, opened his breakfast, took a bite of the pan-fried bun and took a sip of the milk tea.

When Sun Yu Ming saw him drinking the milk tea, he was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly and he looked up at Xia Cheng Lang with a quick glance, a hint of understanding slipping through his heart.

Xia Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Sun Yu Ming as he continued to say in an unsavoury manner: “Right, I haven’t thanked you for helping me take care of Liu Yuan all these years.”

He emphasised the two words ‘helped me’ and smiled as he extended his hand to Sun Yu Ming, “Thank you.”

Sun Yu Ming took his hand and smiled faintly, “It’s all what I should do, because Liu Yuan is worth it.”

The two men looked at each other and simultaneously sneered as they let go of their hands.

Sun Yu Ming continued to ingratiate himself with Tang Liu Yuan in every word, Xia Cheng Lang muttered in his heart in displeasure, looked up at Sun Yu Ming, too lazy to continue pretending, and said in a cold voice: “You’re still not leaving? Are doctors usually so idle that they don’t have to work?”

Sun Yu Ming calmly sat down on the chair opposite Tang Liu Yuan and said slowly: “It’s not time for work yet, and I’m here to see Liu Yuan because I have a work-related problem to discuss with him, but Mr. Xia, shouldn’t you go to work?”

Naturally Xia Cheng Lang would not leave as his love rival was still here, he sat down on the chair next to Sun Yu Ming and said with a straight face: “I came to the hospital for a vaccination, yesterday at Liu Yuan’s house, my hand was scratched by Xiao Nai Cha.”

Xia Cheng Lang turned his head to look at Sun Yu Ming, raised the back of his hand, hooked his lips and asked, “Do you know who Xiao Nai Cha is?”

Before Sun Yu Ming could say anything, he answered himself, “It’s the kitten I gave to Liu Yuan back then, it’s very cute, you can meet it when you have the chance.”

Sun Yu Ming’s smile remained unchanged and he glanced meaningfully at the wound on Xia Cheng Lang’s hand, “Oh, I’ve seen Xiao Nai Cha before and even held it, but it didn’t scratch me.”

Xia Cheng Lang shrank his hand back and gave Sun Yu Ming a sullen look, the vixen had even entered the house5登堂入室 (dēnɡ tánɡ rù shì): actually translates to ‘pass through the hall into the inner chamber’, like in those olden day houses before, really hateful.

“Senior previously went to my house to get documents, just in time for the rain, so he sat for a while.” Tang Liu Yuan was afraid that they would get into another fight and explained in a faint manner.

Xia Cheng Lang’s flaunting behaviour was really a bit childish, he couldn’t listen to it anymore. He finished the last bite of his breakfast, wiped his hands and looked at Sun Yu Ming, “Senior, what was that patient situation you were telling me about?”

Sun Yu Ming smiled at Xia Cheng Lang, shrugged his shoulders, picked up the medical records on the table and talked to Tang Liu Yuan.

As soon as Tang Liu Yuan got up to work, he was so serious that he didn’t even give Xia Cheng Lang a second glance, and Xia Cheng Lang couldn’t understand any of the pharmacological cases they were talking about.

After a long time, Xia Cheng Lang deflated his mouth in discontent, as Tang Liu Yuan really didn’t give him a single glance. Instead, Sun Yu Ming arrogantly looked at him a few times, and he couldn’t help the sour water in his heart from gurgling out.

He pursed his lips and looked at the water bottle on the table.

Tang Liu Yuan was looking down and discussing the medical records with Sun Yu Ming when he suddenly felt his shoulder being touched. He raised his head and saw Xia Cheng Lang looking at him with aggrieved eyes and a bottle of water in his hand.

Tang Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looking into his eyes, his voice couldn’t help but soften a bit, “What’s wrong?”

“……Can’t unscrew it.”

Tang Liu Yuan was silent for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “You’re weak again?”

Xia Cheng Lang: “……”

“I hurt my hand!”

Xia Cheng Lang was furious, his love rival was here, his physical strength is not to be questioned!

melon: HAHA! That sour smell in the air
