ABLO Chapter 57

Back at their dorm, Lu Yang followed closely behind Ruan Mian, entering Ruan Mian’s room as naturally as if it were his own. He moved so quickly that Ruan Mian had no time to stop him.

After entering the room, he put on his rabbit slippers, went directly to the kitchen, ran to the refrigerator, and found a bright red apple from it.

He walked back to the living room, handed the fruit knife to Ruan Mian, and said without blushing: “Tutu, I want to eat apples too.”

He wanted to eat the apples that Ruan Mian had peeled by himself, the kind that Ren Ge had just eaten.

Ruan Mian naturally understood his little thoughts and didn’t want him to be angry, so he had no choice but to take the apple and carefully peeled it for him.

After Ruan Mian peeled the apple, he thought about it, cut off the core, cut the skin into several pieces, and finally cut them into ‘rabbit’ apples.

Lu Yang’s eyes lit up when he saw him conjuring up ‘little rabbits’ like a magician, and his mood became better. He looked at the piled-up little rabbits, and the depression he felt in the past two days was swept away.

The apple that Ruan Mian peeled for him was much more thoughtful than the one Ren Ge made.

Does Ren Ge have rabbit apples? No!

Defeating your love rival is a long and difficult road; keep working hard!

Lu Yang ate all the little rabbits one by one; these little rabbits are his; no one can take them away.

Lu Yang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, occasionally shaking them. He exuded an air of superiority, eating an apple with the sophistication of a five-star meal. If Ren Ge were here, he would undoubtedly flaunt it right in his face.

Ruan Mian watched him finish the apple and saw how satisfied he looked, almost like his tail was wagging. Smiling, he said, “Baby Lu, go back and rest. I want to sleep too.”

Since he had coaxed him, he could sleep peacefully. He had been thinking about all sorts of things in the hospital last night and didn’t sleep well. He couldn’t help but feel a little sleepy.

Upon hearing his words, Lu Yang stopped shaking his legs, and his tail stopped wagging. He furrowed his brows and looked at Ruan Mian in disbelief, asking, “You’re driving me out?”

In front of him, Ruan Mian would always sleep whenever he wanted, and Lu Yang could come and go as he pleased. If he didn’t feel like leaving, they would sleep together, and it was never an issue. This was the first time Ruan Mian had actively asked him to leave.

“…No.” Ruan Mian panicked for a moment and didn’t dare to look into Lu Yang’s eyes.

Lu Yang looked at him with a pained expression, leaning over and laying his head on his legs. He looked up at him and softly asked, “Tutu, are you upset?”

Ruan Mian’s unusual behavior did not go unnoticed by Lu Yang. For the past two days, Ruan Mian hadn’t been coming home, and even when they met, he seemed to be avoiding him.

However, Lu Yang wasn’t too worried. After all, the little rabbit still wanted to comfort him, so the problem shouldn’t be too serious.

When Ruan Mian heard his words, he shook his head slightly and denied in a low voice, “No.”

He wasn’t upset; he just hadn’t figured things out yet, so he didn’t know what to do.

Lu Yang reached out and gently pinched his cheek, dissatisfied: “Tutu is not obedient, you have learned to avoid me. Don’t you still remember that I’m your most handsome fiancé in the world? And your most beloved Baby Lu in the world!”

Ruan Mian opened his mouth anxiously but didn’t know how to explain that he was indeed avoiding Lu Yang.

Finally, he could only say: “Of course I remember, I always remember.”

Lu Yang’s eyebrows relaxed a little, “Then tell me what’s going on?”

Ruan Mian never lied in front of Lu Yang. When Lu Yang asked, he couldn’t help but tell the truth.

He pursed his lips and said slowly: “I accidentally heard your conversation with Li Zhan that day… To be precise, it should be Li Zhan who was talking, and you were listening.”

Lu Yang understood what Ruan Mian was referring to when he spoke. Ruan Mian only heard what Li Zhan said at the beginning and didn’t hear his answer later.

After figuring it out, he couldn’t help but curl his lips and asked Ruan Mian, “Tutu, are you jealous?”

Ruan Mian frowned and thought for a moment before hesitantly answering, “It seems like I am, but also not quite.”

These two days, he did feel a little sour in his heart, but more confused. Li Zhan’s words just made him start to consider things he had never considered before.

Lu Yang stretched out his hand and rubbed his head twice, “If you’re not jealous, what is wrong?”

Ruan Mian’s hand involuntarily tightened. He looked down at Lu Yang, whose eyes were dark and bright, especially beautiful under the light—glossy and captivating.

Ruan Mian stared at his eyes for a while, took a breath, and said: “Baby Lu, should we cancel the engagement?”

“No.” Lu Yang refused without thinking and asked with a sullen face: “Tutu wants to abandon me?”

“I will never abandon you,” Ruan Mian said, lowering his eyes, his eyelashes trembling with nervousness. “But what exactly is our relationship right now? Friendship, love, family—it seems like none of them fit. If we get married and you later meet someone you truly love and realize what love is, what will we do then?”

Ruan Mian is very confident that he will never change his mind after marriage. Lu Yang is the most important person to him and the person he wants to stay with for the rest of his life, but he is very afraid that Lu Yang will confuse family, friendship, and love, and it will be too late to regret one day.

“Tutu, so you are worried about this.” Lu Yang said seriously: “I already have you; how could I like someone else? For so many years, there have always been many suitors around you and me, but have we seen other people?”

Ruan Mian shook his head. It seemed like an unspoken understanding between them—they had never developed feelings for anyone else. Their innermost worlds were accessible only to each other.

Lu Yang looked at him and suddenly asked: “Tutu, do you want to kiss?”

“Mn?” Ruan Mian was stunned for a moment. Lu Yang suddenly changed the topic so quickly that he had not recovered from his previous emotions.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and smiled. Sitting up, he propped himself on the back of the sofa, encircling Ruan Mian in his arms. He looked down at Ruan Mian’s rosy lips and softly said, “Tutu, once we kiss, we’ll be a couple.”

“Couple?” Ruan Mian’s eyes lit up. If they were a couple, would he no longer have to worry about their relationship?

“Yes, a couple, as in lovers, the kind that will get married,” Lu Yang said in a low voice.

Due to his childhood environment, Ruan Mian always lacked a sense of security. Confirming their relationship would give him the greatest sense of security.

Hearing Lu Yang’s words, Ruan Mian couldn’t help but smile, looking up at Lu Yang with some anticipation and saying, “Alright, then let’s kiss.”

Lu Yang smiled, moved closer, looked at his sparkling eyes, and whispered: “Silly Tutu, when kissing, Omegas should be shy.”

Ruan Mian’s eyes were wide open, looking at the familiar face in front of him; he really couldn’t be shy.

Lu Yang was inexplicably nervous. He stretched out his hand to gently cover Ruan Mian’s eyes. Ruan Mian’s eyelashes fluttered twice, and then he closed his eyes obediently.

Lu Yang smiled, lowered his eyes, and looked at Ruan Mian’s lips, getting closer and closer, and their breaths gradually entangled.

Ruan Mian suddenly asked: “Baby Lu, do you have experience?”

Lu Yang paused and removed his hand, saying, “No, your fiancé has remained pure for you, the most innocent wolf in the nearby pack.”

Ruan Mian opened his eyes and couldn’t help but laugh at his teasing. In a soft voice, he asked, “What should we do then? Neither of us knows how to kiss.”

Lu Yang stepped back slightly, thought for a while, and said, “Then let’s find a video to learn first.”

Ruan Mian smiled and nodded, found a laptop, browsed the Internet for a while, and finally clicked on a video of ‘Beautiful Kissing in Movies’.

The two of them lay on the bed, covered by a blanket, staring at the laptop together as if they were studying an academic problem.

The two of them watched it very seriously at first, but after watching it for a while, they couldn’t help discussing it.

Lu Yang: “This male lead looks too ordinary, and he is not worthy of the female lead at all.”

Ruan Mian nodded, “They’re also a couple in real life. I saw the entertainment news a few days ago. The man cheated on her and they broke up.”

“The man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks is not a good person.”

“Appearance reflects the heart.”

“When kissing, this Alpha deliberately stuck out his tongue and released pheromones. You can see that the Omega is already trembling. This Alpha took advantage of the Omega during the filming. He is really a scumbag.”

“Really? How come I didn’t notice it? Did you see it wrong?”

“Of course, if you don’t believe me, replay the clip just now. I have a good eye. That Alpha is really disgusting. The Omega who works with him is so miserable. Don’t look for such an Alpha when looking for a partner.”

……

The two of them were discussing so enthusiastically that they gradually forgot the purpose of watching the video. The topic became more and more gossipy. Lu Yang had been in the military district for the past few years and knew too little about the gossip of the outside world. Ruan Mian took the opportunity to explain it to him.

The night deepened without them noticing. As the video was nearing its end, Lu Yang finally remembered the task at hand and hurriedly focused, carefully studying the last few scenes.

He turned around and found that Ruan Mian had fallen asleep on the pillow. Because he was lying on the pillow, his cheeks were squeezed together, like a white and tender glutinous rice dumpling.

Lu Yang couldn’t help but reach out and poke him gently, smiled, turned off the laptop quietly, picked up Ruan Mian and put him on the bed, and covered him with a blanket.

Lu Yang tidied up and turned off the lights, leaving only a bedside lamp on. He lay on his side next to Ruan Mian, gazing at him in the warm light.

When Ruan Mian slept, he was always very quiet, lying still, looking serene and gentle.

He lay under the blanket, his cheeks flushed from sleep, looking like a delicious strawberry cake. His lips were rosy and moist, appearing even sweeter than the most delectable strawberry. While sleeping, his lips unconsciously puckered slightly, as if waiting to be kissed.

Lu Yang silently smiled, gently brushed aside the hair on Ruan Mian’s forehead, and leaned down to softly kiss his lips.

In the quiet night, Lu Yang could even hear their heartbeats. He was more nervous than the first time he went to the battlefield.

Ruan Mian’s entire body was soft, and his lips were no exception. Kissing them felt tender and smooth, with a faint sweet scent, even more delicate than the best jelly Lu Yang had ever tasted.

“Tutu, I’ve learned how to kiss,” Lu Yang whispered with a smile, his lips still close to Ruan Mian’s. He leaned closer to Ruan Mian’s ear and softly said, “We’ve kissed, so from now on, we’re a couple.”

Although Ruan Mian was sound asleep and didn’t hear Lu Yang’s words, his eyebrows relaxed unconsciously, and he leaned into Lu Yang’s embrace.

Lu Yang kissed his forehead and softly said in the quiet night, “Goodnight, boyfriend.”
