The Tang Family’s Seven Os - Chapter 183

When Tang Qi Yuan was in class, he met someone unexpected,

That person was sitting in a seat under the podium, looking very conspicuous, and he is the boyfriend of his blind date yesterday.

Yesterday, he and his blind date, Wang Xing Ming, had only sat down to talk for a few minutes, and Wang Xing Ming had already confessed to him that he had a boyfriend.

Wang Xing Ming’s boyfriend is a Beta, and because their fertility rate is lower than Omegas, and because his boyfriend’s personality does not please his family’s elders, his family’s elders do not approve of them being together,

They also thought of ways to force Wang Xing Ming to go on a blind date.

Wang Xing Ming had no choice but to come here, and he apologised to Tang Qi Yuan formally.

Tang Qi Yuan, who had no interest in him in the first place, was understanding and even relaxed a little. They chatted casually and found that they hit it off well, they both like to read books. After finding out that the other party has read many rare books, they couldn’t help but talk more.

They talked like friends, exchanging ideas and didn’t leave in a hurry, wanting to wait for their coffee to finish.

The two of them had almost finished their coffee and were about to stand up to say goodbye when Wang Xing Ming’s boyfriend hurried over. He first glared at Tang Qi Yuan, then turned his head and slapped Wang Xing Ming.

Tang Qi Yuan was a bit embarrassed, and Wang Xing Ming was in a hurry to coax his boyfriend, so he left first without disturbing them.

He didn’t expect to see Wang Xing Ming’s boyfriend again so soon, he is actually a fourth year student of University of B.

He now seemed to understand somewhat why Wang Xing Ming’s parents were against them being together. When Tang Qi Yuan saw this man yesterday, his hair was still long and blonde, today he had cut it short and made it into a colourful mix of colours, and was sitting there very much in the limelight.

Obviously, the elders rarely like such unconventional children.

However, Tang Qi Yuan did like his reckless and free-spirited personality, but their relationship was a bit awkward after all, and he only took one look at him before withdrawing his gaze and continuing with his class.

At the end of class, there were still many people coming to him to ask questions, and he patiently answered them one by one before everyone reluctantly left. In the end, in the large classroom, except for him, only Wang Xing Ming’s boyfriend was left sitting in the same position as before, without leaving.

Tang Qi Yuan could feel his eyes falling on him if at all, and he guessed that he might have something to say to him, so he slowed down a lot in clearing the lesson plans on his desk and waited for him to speak.

Tang Qi Yuan waited for a while and he did indeed open his mouth, his voice arrogant and clear as he asked: “Hey! My name is Xie Er Er, what’s yours?”

Tang Qi Yuan looked up at him and smiled faintly, “Hello, my name is Tang Qi Yuan.”

Xie Er Er came over and came close to his face and said: “I didn’t expect you to be my teacher?”

Tang Qi Yuan had stayed at University B after graduation, so he was actually quite similar in age to these students, and even looked younger than them.

“En.” Tang Qi Yuan smiled as he gathered the lesson plans on his desk, “I didn’t expect you to be my student either.”

Seeing his calm and peaceful look, Xie Er Er couldn’t help but frown and looked at him with his arms hugging his chest: “Teacher Tang, I ruined your blind date yesterday, why aren’t you angry?”

Tang Qi Yuan raised his head and looked at him with a solemn expression: “I’m the one who should apologise, I’m sorry, I didn’t know he was your boyfriend.”

If he had known that Wang Xing Ming had a lover, he would not have gone over there, which was disrespectful to Xie Er Er, so he was willing to apologise.

Xie Er Er looked at him for a moment and suddenly reached out and pinched him on the cheek, “Teacher Tang, why do you look so good to bully?”

Tang Qi Yuan frowned and pushed his hand away, whispering: “Don’t pinch the face, it’ll turn red.”

Xie Er Er couldn’t help but laugh twice: “Soft even when you’re angry.”

Tang Qi Yuan knew he meant no harm, so he ignored him and bowed his head to put his lesson plans away.

“It’s a good thing I arrived in time yesterday, otherwise with you so cute, maybe Xing Ming would have fallen in love with you.”

Tang Qi Yuan’s ears reddened slightly, being praised by his own student for being cute is not really a pleasant thing.

He thought for a moment and explained for Wang Xing Ming, “No, he loves you very much, you misunderstood him yesterday, he had already told me about having a boyfriend before you came, there was no ambiguity between the two of us, we were just exchanging academic matters.”

“Got it, count on the old man being honest.” Xie Er Er hooked his lips.

It looked like Wang Xing Ming should have explained himself clearly yesterday, Tang Qi Yuan couldn’t help but put it down, he couldn’t help but smile when he heard Xie Er Er’s name for Wang Xing Ming, Wang Xing Ming is three years older than Tang Qi Yuan, he should only be five years older than Xie Er Er, he didn’t expect him to be called ‘old guy’ by Xie Er Er.

Xie Er Er looked at the harmless smile on his face and suddenly tugged his hand and walked out, saying rather boldly: “Since I stole your blind date yesterday, I’ll compensate you with one today!”

Tang Qi Yuan stumbled as he yanked him, and hurriedly said, “No need, no need to compensate.”

“There is, there is a need.” Tang Qi Yuan was tugged by him and could not stop, so he had no choice but to follow him.

……

When Xia Cheng Lang called to ask Sheng Cen out for a drink, Sheng Cen was practicing in the fencing room. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel and agreed with a little hesitation.

He had been suffering from a fire in his heart lately, which had been tossing him around, and he was really annoyed, so it was good to go out for a drink to relieve himself.

He took a shower, changed his clothes and drove straight to the meeting place.

Xia Cheng Lang had already arrived early and was waiting for him at the booth seat, and when he saw him, he immediately beckoned, “Ge! Here!”

Sheng Cen glanced at him, then walked over and teased: “Why do you have time today? Not busy courting your Dr. Tang?”

Over the years, he had watched Xia Cheng Lang go from teasing Tang Liu Yuan heartlessly at the very beginning to begging for forgiveness with regret, and he was in a very comfortable mood, even gloating a little.

Xia Cheng Lang gave his brother a chagrined look and handed him the beer bottle1酒 (jiǔ): actually just translates to alcoholic beverage but since they’re drinking directly from the bottle I’m just going to assume it’s beer., “Ge, you have time to rub salt into my wounds, why don’t you drink more beer?”

Sheng Cen curled his lips and sat down in the seat next to him, taking the bottle and tilting his head to take a sip.

The sound of people rolled, the booming music constantly blaring, countless pairs of eyes peeking towards the two of them under the dim lighting.

The two of them were handsome and had a reserved air, so they naturally attracted everyone’s attention, but they were surrounded by bodyguards, so people didn’t dare to come closer, they just couldn’t help but peek at them frequently, but because they were far away, they couldn’t see exactly what they looked like, so they didn’t recognise these two as the rare and influential figures of the empire.

Xia Cheng Lang and Sheng Cen drank together for a while and talked about business for a while, when Xia Cheng Lang suddenly looked at his cousin and smiled curtly.

“Tell me straight what’s up.” Sheng Cen raised his eyebrows slightly, and looking at this expression on his face, he knew that he had something to ask.

Xia Cheng Lang and him had practically grown up together, his grandfather would secretly send them abroad for training whenever they were on summer and winter holidays, so if you counted carefully, he and Xia Cheng Lang had spent more time together than his own brother, and were life and death partners who believed in each other.

“Cousin, it’s still you who knows me.” Xia Cheng Lang smiled and tilted his head to take a sip of beer, “Lend me your Xiao Qi Ge for a few days.”

Sheng Cen’s eyebrows twisted and he refused without thinking, “No.”

Xia Cheng Lang hurriedly explained, “I’ve been busy with a project on antiques recently. I heard Liu Yuan say that Xiao Qi Ge happens to be familiar with the history of this area. There are very few experts in the empire who have studied the history of this period, there are only three in total, one is sick and hospitalised. One has gone abroad, and won’t able to come back for a month. Now the only one left in the country is Xiao Qi Ge. Xiao Qi Ge is so smart and has a good memory. If he is willing to help me, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, Ge, Just let him help me for a few days.”

“No.” Sheng Cen refused again.

It was true that Tang Qi Yuan liked to study some strange knowledge and had read a lot of books, so it was not surprising that he would know about it, but Sheng Cen was not happy at the thought that he would be following behind someone else and nagging them like he nagged him, even if that person was Xia Cheng Lang, whom he trusted the most.

It was only when he said this that he remembered, in a bit of a trance, that it seemed like a long time since Tang Qi Yuan had nagged him or controlled him, and when he thought about it, it seemed like it had started since the day he succeeded as Emperor.

He unconsciously frowned and tilted his head to take another sip of beer, the feeling of irritation in his heart surging up again, inexplicably a little frustrated.

Xia Cheng Lang looked at his food-protection appearance and had to give up for the time being, saying rather helplessly, “Then help me call Xiao Qi Ge out for a drink for me, I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

Sheng Cen snorted, “Xiao Qi doesn’t come to places like this, filthy atmosphere.”

Xia Cheng Lang was completely speechless, looking at Sheng Cen and shaking his head helplessly, saying repeatedly, “Yes, yes, yes, your Xiao Qi Ge is a fairy, he doesn’t eat grains and cereals, nor does he enter this dusty place.”

He laughed and lifted his glass to take a sip, and as he put it down, his eyes inadvertently swept across the dance floor, but he paused abruptly and couldn’t help but let out a low cry: “Fuck!”

“What’s worth making such a fuss about.” Sheng Cen looked up at him and couldn’t help but feel a little amused, this cousin of his is now a dignified figure in the empire, why was he still so easily startled.

The shocked look on Xia Cheng Lang’s face remained unchanged as he lifted his chin in the direction of the dance floor and stumbled, shouting: “No……cousin! You quickly look……”

Sheng Cen frowned and turned his head towards the direction he was pointing at and gave a faint glance, the lighting here was a bit dim, he squinted his eyes before he could see clearly, after seeing clearly, his face suddenly changed, his eyes widened for a moment, his gaze sank coldly.

Xia Cheng Lang finally slowed down from his shock, he turned his head to look at Sheng Cen with a complicated expression and asked cautiously: “That……is Xiao Qi Ge, right?”

Sheng Cen turned his head without answering his question, his face turned even colder, his entire body like it was soaked in cold, gloomy frost, emitting a bone-chilling chill.

He pursed his lips without a word, his face gloomy as he stared deadly still at a point on the dance floor.

Tang Qi Yuan was standing in the middle of the dance floor, his surroundings were crowded with people in different outfits, only he was dressed in formal clothes, looking a bit out of place here, even his face looked a bit formal, but his pretty appearance still attracted many people to approach him. Even his clothes seem to have an unspeakable temptation of abstinence in such an atmosphere.

Sheng Cen looked coldly at that place. Opposite Tang Qi Yuan was standing an Alpha with an ugly smile, and behind him was a Beta with colourful hair, their eyes were all focused on him, eyeing him intently.

Sheng Cen almost lost his breath and passed out straight away.

His little nerd had learnt to come to a nightclub! And he had come with another man behind his back!

The realisation made Sheng Cen’s chest swell with rage, his eyes blackened and he tried several times to stand up.

Xia Cheng Lang hurriedly held him up and asked worriedly: “Cousin, are you alright?”

It was true that no man could stand the blow of a green hat2wearing a green hat means being made a cuckold, even if he became Emperor. Remembering how he felt when he first saw Sun Yu Ming beside Tang Liu Yuan, he patted his cousin’s shoulder sympathetically.

With a dark face, Sheng Cen managed to get up from his seat, he pursed his lips tightly and without saying a word, he strutted in the direction of Tang Qi Yuan.

melon: AHAHA! And he was just saying Xiao Qi wouldn’t come to this kind of filthy place.
