Chapter 78 p2: A Little Bit Apart
Five days was not long, but not short either. If you were to ask Tan Yicheng what her biggest impression was, she would answer—it was easy to feel thirsty.
After five days, she finally found a chance to get out of bed and put on her clothes completely. Tan Yicheng opened the door.
Today was the day she was going to the hospital for another check-up. Although she had some idea of the final result in her heart, it was still safer to go to the hospital.
But when she went out, she saw the housekeeping robot diligently wiping the glass, and the temperature on her face couldn’t help but rise.
Absurd, really absurd.
But she was the one who had started the fire. In five days, she had smashed six of Xi Congshuang’s smart devices and had cut off the communication three times, which was why she had been pressed against the glass at night…
All sorts of details, she couldn’t think about them in detail.
During this period, she had also been sighed at by the family doctor countless times that there was actually an alpha who could completely endure a pseudo-heat. She didn’t know that it was actually not the case.
She didn’t need omega pheromones at all, but she couldn’t be without Xi Congshuang.
The housekeeping robot finished wiping one side of the glass, turned around, and saw Tan Yicheng standing in the living room in a daze. It took the initiative to say, “Hello!”
Tan Yicheng’s eyes were numb. “Yes.” I’m not good at all.
Especially when she saw the housekeeping robot wiping the glass, she felt even worse.
The housekeeping robot did not understand the human heart and continued to be cheerful. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
Tan Yicheng came to her senses and stepped forward, knocking on its round head. “What’s your name?”
Before the robot answered, Tan Yicheng had already prepared herself not to show a strange expression no matter how explosive the name was, and to treat everything with a normal heart.
This robot was quite humanized. If you had a bad attitude towards it, it would even work with a crying expression.
It was like a timid but diligent punching bag. She didn’t know where Xi Congshuang had bought it from.
The black bean eyes on the housekeeping robot’s display screen blinked, and it said cheerfully, “I’m No. 1!”
Tan Yicheng was surprised. This name was unexpectedly normal. “Did your owner give it to you?”
The housekeeping robot denied, “No. The starter gave me the name. The first thing she said to me was—’Hmm… the boss didn’t say what name she likes, so I’ll just pick one randomly. You’ll be called No. 1′.”
Tan Yicheng recognized the person by her tone. It was Glorie. No wonder it was such a normal name.
The main door behind her was opened, revealing the figure behind the door. “Are you done?”
The housekeeping robot’s screen was full of confetti. “Welcome home, master. You’ve been away for five minutes. I’ve missed you every minute and every second during this period! Did you have fun on your trip?”
“?!”
Tan Yicheng was greatly shocked. The past few days, she had been so focused on putting her five senses on Xi Congshuang that she had not expected it to be such a sweet-talking robot.
She even wanted to ask the robot for a script of its lines. It seemed to be very good at talking.
At least better than her.
#The strength of the champion of the “destined to be single A competition” for three consecutive years should not be underestimated#
Xi Congshuang said, “Glorie chose the family model when she bought it. Its personality is more enthusiastic.”
She said as she walked into the house, stood by Tan Yicheng’s side, and reached out to her. The person who was squatting on the ground and chatting with the robot placed her hand on hers and stood up.
Tan Yicheng didn’t quite understand. “Family model? Is there anything special about it?”
Her dormitory, where she had to fold her blanket into a tofu block as soon as she got out of bed, was impossible to have a housekeeping robot.
Not necessarily. Tan Yicheng remembered that there was a large robot in the lobby downstairs that cleaned every day. The private robots she had seen were all in Xi Congshuang’s home.
She was not very familiar with the models and uses on the market, because these were all outside her professional studies.
Xi Congshuang: “The family model can take care of children and chat with them, so it looks more enthusiastic than Xiaoxue.”
At that time, time was tight. Glorie had bought a house and was busy buying furniture. She only remembered to buy the latest model. Who knew that she had chosen the latest model of the family model?
Tan Yicheng: “…” I see. No wonder it’s so good at talking. So it’s for coaxing children.
She smiled. “We don’t need a family model either. We won’t have children. It’s quite like a child itself.”
Looking at the confetti-filled screen of No. 1, Xi Congshuang smiled. “It does look like one.”
A few minutes later, the two figures standing side by side in the sunlight left, leaving No. 1 to continue to diligently wipe the glass, wiping away all the handprints and water stains that had been accidentally left in the night.
***
The examination results were not out so quickly. The next day, Tan Yicheng returned to school to continue her studies.
Recently, there were no exams to get credits. The mecha department of the academy stipulated that students’ usual performance would also be included in the assessment score. Tan Yicheng also had the same problem as Xi Congshuang. She couldn’t stand her grades being bad. After resting and recovering, she began to return to school.
Before entering the school gate, Tan Yicheng inconspicuously rubbed her lower back. Seeing that there was no one around, she strode into the school gate.
A few minutes later, Xi Congshuang, who had been told to act separately, appeared, her steps like the wind as she entered the gate.
Xi Congshuang did not refuse her plan, which was full of a desire to cover up. She really did wait in the aircraft for several minutes before she got out and entered the school gate.
“Five days, you’ve been gone for five days… plus today, it’s six days. Not a single piece of news. How can you be so heartless?”
After finally getting to the end of class, Qi Qianqian’s knees were on her seat, and she reached out to turn Tan Yicheng’s shoulder. “Have you had a check-up? How are the results? Are you okay?”
It was clear that Tan Yicheng was very lively now, but she still couldn’t help but ask. This was not the first time Tan Yicheng had taken a long leave of absence because of her gland.
Tan Yicheng was so annoyed that she turned her head and said, “The examination results are not out yet. I don’t know either, but I personally feel quite good.”
As she spoke, Tan Yicheng said strangely, “What’s wrong with you?”
The person who had come was already good-looking. Everyone was used to her strength and always ignored her face. Otherwise, so many omegas would have actively invited her to dance at the ball every year.
Just by looking at her face, she could also be the top in the crowd.
Today’s Tan Yicheng was different. Strands of soft charm had soaked into her, as if the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all filled with charm, exceptionally unique.
Qi Qianqian was so stunned that she almost couldn’t recognize that this was Tan Yicheng.
When the other party looked at her strangely, her previous thoughts were blown away like dust in the wind, leaving only the image of a tyrannosaurus rex that could punch a person.
Did I think wrong?
Qi Qianqian shook her head sluggishly. “No, nothing.”
“Thud.” Xiang Wei suddenly moved, waving her hand to knock off the hand on her thigh. “Why are you pinching my thigh? It hurts.”
Qi Qianqian was dazed. “Hurts? It hurts, right? It hurts, so it’s not a dream.”
Xiang Wei: “…” She raised her hand and touched Qi Qianqian’s forehead.
No fever?
Could it be that her brain was hit by someone? Her IQ has hit rock bottom?
In the next practical training class, Qi Qianqian was fiercely thrown onto the soft mat by Tan Yicheng. She panted and stared at the ceiling. Her heart was beating very fast, but her mood was surprisingly stable.
It was this crushing King Kong flavor.
Like an M, she showed a happy smile.
Xiang Wei, who had been knocked down in the previous round, couldn’t bear to look. She didn’t want to admit that this was her friend and silently stood up to talk to Tan Yicheng.
Today, Tan Yicheng’s hairstyle was quite unique. She had braided a large braid for herself. This was a weakness she had said before that would get her killed if she was caught by an opponent. She had called it a beautiful but impractical ponytail.
After a round of training, Tan Yicheng’s hair was messy, and a lot of stray hair had fallen out. She turned her head to the side and looked at her messy braid with regret.
Xiang Wei had a flash of inspiration and seemed to know who had made this overly exquisite hairstyle.
But the hairstyle was already messy. Tan Yicheng habitually gathered the ends of her hair. A black hair tie was loosely on her wrist bone, and she was about to gather the ends of her hair and tie them up at the back of her head.
It was also this action that exposed the gland with the bite mark. They were all alphas, so of course, they could tell that this was not a mark left by another alpha.
The reason was very simple. One, Tan Yicheng only had her citrus pheromone and a little bit of woody perfume on her. Two, this bite mark did not have canine teeth, let alone the mark left after a canine tooth mark.
It was most likely a bite mark left by a beta. How many betas were there around Tan Yicheng?
Tan Yicheng, who had instantly realized what was on the back of her neck, put down her hair, felt all over her body, and found that she had forgotten to wear a suppression patch. No matter what its function was, she had to cover the bite mark first.
Tan Yicheng, who couldn’t find a suppression patch, had no choice but to grit her teeth and tie a low bun, guarding the back of her neck.
Xiang Wei’s gaze was knowing, and she looked back.
As expected, Qi Qianqian was once again in a state of inexplicable shock and confusion. She slowly held her head and curled up into a ball. “I don’t dare to open my eyes. I hope it’s my illusion…”
But this world was not one where you could cover your eyes and not see if you didn’t want to.
At noon, Xi Congshuang appeared on the path Tan Yicheng was passing by, brought a suppression patch, and took her away as she spoke.
Qi Qianqian, Xiang Wei: O-O?
Where are you going, Orange? Are you coming back for dinner?
Tan Yicheng, who had gone and never returned, was pulled into an empty classroom. Xi Congshuang apologized in a low voice as she applied a suppression patch for her.
In the end, this apology was in vain. She pressed her against the wall and kissed her for a long time.
When it was over, she was still unwilling to let her go. She pulled off her hair tie, and her long hair fell down like a waterfall. Xi Congshuang put her hand in it and carefully smoothed it out.
Xi Congshuang sighed, “I’m used to you being at home every day. I actually feel a little unaccustomed today.”
Tan Yicheng calmed her breathing, rubbed her face against the side of her neck, and silently agreed.
A few minutes later, Tan Yicheng moved. “I have to go and eat. I have class in the afternoon.”
Xi Congshuang held her. “But I’ve prepared a meal. Eat with me.”
Tan Yicheng: “…” So she was prepared long ago.
When she came back again, Tan Yicheng had a new hairstyle, and her lips were exceptionally rosy.
This time, it was braided from the top of her head down, with two braids at the back of her neck. Under the cover of the skin-colored suppression patch, it achieved a lifelike effect.
As expected, dating was different. The destined-to-be-single A had become so attentive to her life, with two hairstyles in one day.
