  • Hold On, You’re Something Else

    Chapter 35.1

    The sky was gray and cloudy, and the drizzle of rain continued.

    However, when those words were said, somehow, it was as if brilliant lights started to pass through the dark clouds, shining down on his cold, damp hands.

    Gu Xi raised his eyes and the crystal-like raindrops clung to his eyelashes. With just a blink, they went straight into his eyes. It stung, but he was reluctant to blink again.

    The black umbrella was placed over his head once more.

    Probably because he had been sitting for a long time, his knees could still feel the coldness even after standing up. The rain stopped. Maybe it was when this man came up to him. He could hear the voices of people within a 10 meter radius, but he couldn’t really tell them apart, couldn’t tell which one was Rong Jing’s.

    Gu Xi had already been beside Rong Jing when he finally realized what Gu Xi meant by his answer. He actually managed to convince Gu Xi using only an umbrella…

    What Rong Jing didn’t know was that it was actually very difficult for Gu Xi, who had been acting like a hedgehog all this time, to even say that one word. He had almost used up all of his strength just to shout that answer out, though it didn’t really seem that loud at all.

    It was a bit troublesome to look for a parking space in this area so when Zhou You was asked to come back, he needed to circle around once more.

    Rong Jing thought to himself, moved sideways and opened the trunk to get a towel. When he came back, he saw Gu Xi in the same place, staring at him. He asked, “What’s wrong?”

    Gu Xi turned his head away, preventing Rong Jing from seeing the tears pooling in his eyes. After nodding his head gently to express his gratitude, he went straight to sit on the back seat.

    Rong Jing took his umbrella and went in with him. Rong Jing, who was used to a world which only had two genders, didn’t think anything wrong of it. He saw Gu Xi take off his disguise and gently covered his head with a towel.

    Hidden by the shadow of the towel, Gu Xi was finally able to briefly release the emotion he was hiding. He tightly held the towel, its soft velvet surface wrapped around his face.

    He had no place to vent the emotions that were about to overflow. He wanted to say something, anything, just so he could express to Rong Jing what he was feeling, even the simplest words ‘thank you’. Yet, he thought that even those weren’t enough.

    Minutes later, after traveling for a while, a car with a yellow light rushed forward near them. In order to avoid it, Zhou You suddenly hit the brakes, causing Rong Jing’s arms to slightly brush against Gu Xi’s smooth skin.

    Gu Xi froze but did not move.

    Rong Jing also gradually realized that even though Gu Xi was male, he was also an Omega. An Omega that was delicate and soft. The subtle friction brought up by a simple touch caused a slight shudder. Like a catchy hook of a song, it could actually cause a riot.

    “Sorry,” for bumping into you.

    “It’s alright,” It was an accident.

    Although they didn’t say the rest of their words, they seemed to have a tacit understanding that belonged to them alone. After that brief conversation, silence fell upon the car again. The air between the two carried a hint of moisture, and a hint of heat. (T/N: What the heck.)

    The person driving the car, Zhou You, was just about to say something to make up for what he had done. However, when he noticed that the atmosphere at the back had changed slightly, he no longer thought to speak.

    One was an Alpha, while the other was an Omega, ah. Tsk tsk.

    Rong Jing initially thought that there wouldn’t be anything wrong for two men to sit together. There was nothing suspicious about that. Not until the restlessness in the air became evident, it seemed like fireworks were going out of control in the bottom tip of his heart. He finally realized that an Omega was completely different from his own gender. They were delicate and soft, the most heart-stirring creatures in this world.

    Rong Jing thought that this kind of feeling he has now should be because he was now an Alpha. Alphas, these creatures rely on their lower body when thinking. Really worthy of being euthanized.

    Gu Xi was the first person to let Rong Jing have a deep understanding of the different genders in this world.

    Rong Jing wanted to move to the passenger seat, but Zhou You, who was extremely incapable of reading people’s eyes, seemed to have no intention of stopping the car, and even created an opportunity of being in the right place at the right time for his young master.

    In order to ease the embarrassment, Rong Jing made a phone call to Xie Ling. After a few rings, the very busy brother finally picked up. Rong Jing asked him immediately if he had a house that he could temporarily stay in, hoping that Xie Ling would lend it to him. Though he wasn’t sure what happened to Gu Xi, he was sure that he was currently in his heat. During this time, no matter how well the hotel’s confidentiality work was done, there would still be a lot of people in there. It wouldn’t be suitable to let him stay there.

    Xie Ling’s voice went two degrees colder, “Did you actually forget what happened at your coming-of-age ceremony?” Sometimes, I just wanna borrow this kid’s head and see if there’s anything inside.

    Coming of age ceremony? Rong Jing slowly fished out that memory from the depths of his brain. It seemed that when the original owner reached adulthood, Xie Ling gave him a villa, owned and developed by the Xie family. Xie Ling even personally drew a feng shui treasure for him. 

    It made the original owner happy, but Xie Jisheng said that was just Xie Ling casually giving the signal to get out of the house, letting him out of the Xie family. The original owner believed that. He never wanted to go back to the Xie’s house after that, and never accepted any gifts, even personally picked, from Xie Ling.

    “That house is still there?” It’s been years, haven’t you trashed that one already?

    “Don’t bother me for three days,” Seeing you makes me want to beat you up.

    Xie Ling was so angry because of this unfilial brother that he already wanted to stop talking to him. He immediately hung up the phone.

    Rong Jing, who had accidentally pressed the speakerphone, put down his phone, looking very embarrassed. He could see Zhou You holding back a smile, even the corners of Gu Xi’s mouth were raised a bit, giving him no face.

    Rong Jing sighed, but when he saw Gu Xi’s tired looking face finally showing a little smile, like begonia flowers blossoming, he couldn’t help but think, he’s finally smiling. Being gloomy doesn’t suit him at all.
