PLTRSC Chapter 34

Jiang Tang had no recollection of how the entire examination was completed.

His mind was filled with the words sent by Li’s mother.

The message also came with a picture.

The scene in the picture was blurry, as if it was a screenshot from a video.

Jiang Tang could almost foresee what would happen next. He put his hand in his pocket and pressed the button to turn off his phone. For a moment, he wanted to remove the SIM card and throw it away.

But he came to his senses immediately.

If those people can’t contact him, they might come looking for him. Then…

“Is it finished?” Lu Yinghuai had been waiting at the door of the last examination room.

Jiang Tang raised his head and looked at him with a blank look.

A transparent ball of light flew out from the hood of Jiang Tang’s coat and instantly disappeared into the air.

“What are you thinking about?” Lu Yinghuai asked casually, scanning Jiang Tang from head to toe like a scanner.

“Nothing.” Jiang Tang answered quickly without any hesitation.

The air was strangely silent for two seconds. Lu Yinghuai rubbed Jiang Tang’s hair helplessly: “Why are you so nervous? I won’t eat you.”

The wind brought by his movements carried a hint of fir. Jiang Tang suddenly realized that the pheromones that had surrounded him all the time in the past two days had disappeared.

Jiang Tang sniffed the lingering fragrance in the air carefully and greedily. He didn’t know whether the marking that night was successful or not, he only knew that he became more vulnerable under the wrapping of the fir tree.

He remembered Xie Zan’s look.

Even if Lu Yinghuai didn’t realize that he was deliberately tearing the wound, Xie Zan, as a doctor, must have noticed it.

Given their relationship, there was no way Xie Zan would hide anything from Lu Yinghuai.

…Did Mr. Lu found out that he was not behaving well and so took away the pheromones?

Jiang Tang kept telling himself in his heart, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, Jiang Tang, it’s your fate to end up with nothing.

So be content and don’t expect too much.

Jiang Tang looked calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

How should he behave to appear more obedient?

“Mr. Lu,” the corridor was very quiet, with only the sound of a wheelchair rolling by and a man’s footsteps. Jiang Tang’s voice sounded very abruptly, his cold voice was as emotionless as the incandescent light in the corridor, “Tonight… I can sleep by myself.”

Lu Yinghuai paused: “Why?”

“I’m fine now. You don’t have to stay with me any more.”

If Lu Yinghuai could see into Jiang Tang’s heart, he would find a bruised and battered boy picking up his broken porcelain “armor” piece by piece.

The armor had been broken, and the sharp edge cut the boy’s hand, leaving a bloody wound.

“Don’t you want me to accompany you?”

The expected blame did not come, and Lu Yinghuai just asked softly.

Jiang Tang couldn’t say it, so he just nodded in affirmation.

Lu Yinghuai was very tall. He stood in front of Jiang Tang, easily blocking out the lights in the corridor, and his figure enveloped Jiang Tang.

Those sharp eyes were as black as if they were soaked in ink. Although their gaze was gentle, Jiang Tang always felt that it was a probing look, as if it could see through his heart.

A few seconds later, Lu Yinghuai chuckled and said, “I know. I’ll sleep next to you. If you regret it, come find me anytime.”

Lu Yinghuai had long realized that Jiang Tang might have some emotional disorders, so he would do whatever Jiang Tang said or did.

Jiang Tang doesn’t rely on him enough now, and maybe doesn’t like him very much. If he kept pushing him, it would have the opposite effect, so it’s better for him to go along with him.

Jiang Tang couldn’t tell whether he was disappointed or not, because before he was disappointed he had already told himself that this was what he deserved.

This was what he deserved.

The shadow blocking him moved away, and while he was distracted, Jiang Tang heard Lu Yinghuai say, “You are welcome to regret it at any time.”

The tone was a little frivolous, but Jiang Tang’s heart surprisingly calmed down.

That night.

Lu Yinghuai helped Jiang Tang blow dry his hair and carried him to bed: “The bed has been warmed for you. Don’t turn off the lights. Tang Tang, go to bed early.”

Jiang Tang refused his help to take a shower, so Lu Yinghuai laid in his bed for a while while he was taking a shower.

He said he was warming Jiang Tang’s bed, but in fact he was secretly hiding in the quilt and smelling it for a long time.

Jiang Tang lay down in the quilt and realized for the first time that he also liked this warmth.

He thought he had long been accustomed to the bed that could not be warmed all night.

Omegas generally have lower body temperatures than Alphas. Jiang Tang’s body temperature was even lower than that of ordinary Omegas due to his physical condition. Sometimes his bed was still cold even after he slept in it all night.

“Mr. Lu,” Jiang Tang always felt as if he wanted to fight for something, but this was not in line with the habit he had developed over the past eighteen years, so he just paused and continued, “Good night.”

Lu Yinghuai leaned over and kissed him gently on the corner of his lips: “Good night, Tang Tang.”

After he left, Jiang Tang stared at the ceiling in a daze.

It seemed as if something was missing.

He couldn’t help but pull the quilt over and smell it.

The fir scent in the quilt was also very faint.

…Mr. Lu seemed to no longer want to give him pheromones.

Jiang Tang closed his eyes, reached for the phone beside the pillow and pressed it to turn it on.

He found the saved video screenshot in the photo album.

The photo was taken when Lu Yinghuai accompanied him shopping in the mall.

Jiang Tang sat up, took the computer, and typed quickly. The page went black for a second, then jumped to the video.

Jiang Tang recognized at a glance that the protagonist of the video was the Omega who was cheering in the mall. His Alpha did not appear in the video, only giving a few monosyllabic responses from time to time.

Jiang Tang could still feel the Omega’s happiness through the screen. He didn’t know what he was thinking. He watched the video several times. His indifferent eyes revealed a desire that he himself didn’t even notice.

After coming to his senses, Jiang Tang “checked” the video frame by frame. His silhouette was only captured for two seconds, and the screenshot was a little blurry, but the video was high-definition. No wonder those people recognized him.

He confirmed repeatedly that not even a corner of Lu Yinghuai’s clothes was captured in the video.

Jiang Tang exhaled slowly, and his fingers tried to press the keyboard, but they stopped in mid-air.

The video looped automatically several times, and Jiang Tang’s finger fell as if he had finally made a decision.

At the same time, in a room of a star-rated hotel in Yingshui City, a dialog box suddenly popped up on the man’s cell phone.

「Do you want to delete the selected video?」

The man was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had touched it by mistake, and he clicked the confirm option without any hesitation.

Jiang Tang’s computer screen displayed “This video has been deleted by the author” and automatically jumped to the next video after three seconds.

Jiang Tang closed the page and picked up his phone.

[What do you want?]

The reply from the other end was extremely fast, as if there was no need to rest and they were waiting to reply to him at any time.

[How did you become disabled?]

This was followed by a series of laughing expressions. Jiang Tang could imagine the malice that Li Hu that usually appeared on his still somewhat immature face.
