Why are the Protagonist Gong and Shou Fighting Because of Me?

Chapter 17 - This is a little gem that shines for him.

Qin Jun walked onto the rostrum with a gloomy expression. He looked at Tang Bai angrily, the color of spite in his eyes was so strong that it could almost drip water.

“...I'm sorry.” He choked out this sentence in a low voice, put down the microphone after half-heartedly spoke, and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Tang Bai in the stands raised his speaker, cleared his throat in the direction Qin Jun was leaving, and said with deep anger, “That's it? That's it?!”

The clear and sweet questioning was spread to the entire campus by military microphones, and everyone's eyes were focused on the cheerleading team, staring dumbly at the little omega who tilted his head in distress.

The little omegas behind him, did a “look at me, look at you”, gathered up the courage to get to the side of the little speaker, and shouted, “That's it? That's it?!”

The crisp slogans were short, powerful, and uniform.

After the little omegas shouted, they lowered their heads and looked down the stage. They thought they would see accusations or contemptuous eyes, but… below the stage was a group of alpha with stupid faces.

The group of alphas had been dumbfounded.

Qin Jun was also dumbfounded.

“With your perfunctory attitude, you don't even understand where you’re wrong. I don't want you to apologize cheaply.” Tang Bai raised his head high, his eyes were bright, with a disdainful expression, but there was a clear stubbornness between his brows.

He raised his speaker and yelled: “I think everyone must know what you have done. Your words and deeds have tarnished the innocence of omegas, and you habitually oppress civilian students. You behave in a bad way and don’t even think about it. You need to apologize to all omegas and civilian students. Apologize!”

Tong Meng, who was hiding behind Tang Bai, was stunned for a moment. With no prestige, Tang Bai's figure akimbo, and what Tang Bai had just said to them appeared in his mind. He said: “You can only be looked down upon by acting squeamish”. He raised his head and said: “Hold your chest up and stand up straight for me. Say it how it should be said, hate what should be hated. But we are unable to, we omegas can’t just say--”

“Why do we have to accept alphas insulting omegas?!”

People saw the young man with raised eyebrows and a raised chin, showing his face unabashedly and aggressively. This unreasonable but not unpleasant omega, on the contrary, looked like a cat with its teeth and claws bared.

It's so beautiful… This idea came up in countless people's hearts.

Moreover, what he said was completely reasonable. Those of the students who had been bullied by Qin Jun began to whisper, wishing to rush to support Tang Bai.

Qin Jun's face was red and white, white and black, more exciting than an overturned paint tray. He clenched his fists and stared at the sharp-toothed omega.

Damn, if it wasn't for the appearance of Tang Bai, he would say that this omega is violent...

Looking at the turbulent crowd in the audience, especially Xie Ruheng in front of the mecha department, Qin Jun’s eyes could hardly suppress the hatred. He said with difficulty: “Last night because of my improper speech, I caused the teacher from the School of Etiquette Classmate, Tang Bai, and classmate Xie Ruheng from the Mecha Department harm. I apologize to you here.”

Tang Bai reluctantly said: “Oh? Do you mean that the other omegas you insulted don't need an apology? Don't the civilian students you bullied need an apology?!”

Tang Bai’s clear eyes seemed to be able to see through the young mans’ (QJ) black and white world. He was so well protected, pure white and flawless, like he couldn’t tolerate the slightest darkness.

What's more rare is that, unlike those nobles who despise common people, Tang Bai has never had class prejudice. His world is filled with flowers, jewels, desserts and milky fragrance, and the warmth and beauty that make people linger.

【 Fuck it’s a little sweet pepper! 】

【 Baby pulls me so hard I love to cry... 】

【 Qin Jun is an alumnus of my high school. He played with the feelings of ordinary omegas when we were in high school. He didn't recognize people after eating and eating. He also persuaded his parents to kick out the omegas that made trouble at school. He didn't expect that he would have this happen today...... 】

【 In my lifetime, I can actually see someone attacking Qin Jun. Didn't the Qin family get rich because of mining, and make friends with a bunch of families in the Federation? I thought no one would sell the face of the Qin family. 】

【 Qin Jun's face is black... 】

.......

Qin Jun clenched his teeth, his eyes were so fierce that he almost burst out in fire, he stared at Tang Bai fiercely.

But Tang Bai wasn’t afraid at all. He even clapped his little hands briskly, so the repeaters behind him shouted again: “That’s it? That’s it?!”

Tang Bai, who brought his own BGM, smiled sweetly at Qin Jun.

Aren’t you pretentious?

Don’t you think my light of the omegas is an outcast?

Don’t you look down on omega and civilian students?

Come on, keep going, don't kneel.

Tang Bai's smile was so sweet that it was like a honey-dripping sugary little omega, but his amber eyes were extremely cold.

Great humiliation washed over his body and mind, Qin Jun clenched his fists tightly, and countless vicious and indecent curse words flooded to his lips——

But I can't say them.

Because this omega is the only son of the Tang family, the grandson he loves the most, and the prospective fiancée of the grandson of Gu's grandson. If he wants to move him, he must bear the anger of the Tang and Gu family.

His father's words screamed at him just now: “What do you think you are, you dare to provoke Tang Bai! Admiral Gu cut off our Qin family's interstellar route because of this, don’t you know?! Idiot!”

With his fists clenched, Qin Jun almost broke his teeth and swallowed the foul language into his mouth. He spoke: “I also want to apologize to everyone who has been hurt by me.”

Looking at the turbulent crowd in the audience, especially Xie Ruheng in front of the mecha phalanx, his eyes could hardly contain the resentment.

Asking Qin Jun to apologize to these untouchables is more uncomfortable than killing him. His expression was distorted and he was silent for a long time before finally saying a humiliating: “I'm sorry.”

This picture that Tang Bai had always wanted to see when he was reading the text finally appeared. His light of the omegas, the light of the omegas who suffered unfair treatment in the school just because he was born in a slum, finally got his due apology.

Tang Bai raised his trumpet and looked at Xie Ruheng from a distance. His heart was sour and his eyes were soft. He asked softly, “Student Xie Ruheng, what do you want to say?”

Xie Ruheng looked at Tang Bai against the sun under the scorching sun. With their eyes facing each other, the world he saw was only the gleaming Tang Bai. The whispers of heaven and earth rang in his ears, and everyone was talking about Tang Bai.

“Is this omega called Tang Bai?”

“He’s so cute, I seem to be in love.”

“He ‘s also a nobleman, apparently there are nobles who will speak for us civilians.”

“This is the first time I have seen such a powerful omega.”

......

The diamond-encrusted speaker was equipped with a flight system, and it flew into Xie Ruheng's hands. He took the speaker, and countless eyes fell on him. But this time, Xie Ruheng didn't feel hostile in his heart, because he knew that among everyone’s gaze, there was one from Tang Bai.

The black-haired and dark-eyed military academy student was tall and straight, with a handsome face. He was neither humble nor overbearing and frankly said: “Qin Jun, you call the civilian student’s outcasts and don’t want to be in the same school as us, but do you know how many martyrs shed blood before the founding of our federation? Sacrificing themselves in exchange for today's common people to have the right to go to school?”

The dark phoenix eyes stared at Qin Jun, Xie Ruheng sonorously said: “We are not inferior, we will be the spear and shield of the Federation, guarding the people residing in the Federation.”

With a solemn expression, he clenched a fist with his left hand and tapped his chest three times.

This is an ancient etiquette that means absolute loyalty.

The loudspeaker faithfully transmitted the muffled sound of Xie Ruheng tapping his chest--

Boom. Boom. Boom.

It was like a steady heartbeat.

The meaning of this etiquette can be summarized in one sentence, that is, “I would like to give all of my heart to my allegiance”.

The impassioned speech accompanied by the inspiring etiquette, many military cadets present were touched, and they beat their chests one after another as if they were beating the drums of war.

Both those who were insulted by Qin Jun or the civilian students who had never seen the oldest allegiance ceremony.

One, two, ten, a thousand...

After those individuals who Qin Jun disdained were gathered together by Xie Ruheng, even high-level military officials who watched the live broadcast had to look at them, not to mention Qin Jun, who was already shocked.

Looking at the united civilian students, Qin Jun’s face was completely bloodless, his lips moved up and down, but he couldn’t speak any excuses.

The scene was totally out of control. If he doesn't apologize sincerely, when Tang Bai shakes out his violent omega temper, he’ll really be over...

In full view, Qin Jun finally lowered his head weakly and said in a trembling voice: “I am here... I apologize for the insults I made to the Tang family’s omega and the civilian students.”

After speaking, he bent down in silence, put his fingers together, and placed them between his brows.

The audience was in an uproar.

Because the meaning of this etiquette is “God, please forgive my sins, if not, then abandon me”.

This unbelievably arrogant alpha, this time really lowered his head.

But Xie Ruheng, who destroyed Qin Jun's fighting spirit, looked calm and composed.

It’s unknown which alpha applauded, but more and more military cadets joined in the applause. Some people shouted “Brother Xie is awesome”, and some said, “Brother Xie, can you be the leader”...

Tang Bai held his small cheeks in his hands, staring at Xie Ruheng, his heart soft and shameless.

Truly worthy of being the light of the omegas! Really super handsome!

Excitedly, he sprinkled all the rose petals in the flower basket below the stage, and the rain of rich and thick rose petals blossomed one after another, falling on countless alphas.

Xie Ruheng raised his head and looked at Tang Bai quietly. His gaze was almost staring greedily at the bright and moving brilliance of the young man. The twinkling light of those amber eyes was more dazzling than any gem.

This is a little gem that shines for him.

Gu Tunan was standing next to Xie Ruheng, his gray-blue eyes staring at the omega on the platform. He was confident, independent, energetic, reserved, and beautiful. He liked the appearance of this omega.

The omega, who loved him so much, finally turned himself into what he (GT) liked, but at the same time, he was also heartbroken.

A trace of nostalgia and regret flashed in his eyes. Gu Tunan tasted bitterness for the first time. How could he push the omega that loved him so much to another alpha?

Seeing Tang Bai's flowery smile at Xie Ruheng, Gu Tunan's hand hanging by his side slowly tightened.

“It seems that Qin Jun has deeply realized his mistakes, and I hope that all students can take this as a warning, not only knowing to acknowledge it but to also know how to respect omegas.” The principal spoke gently and concluded the matter.

Mother Qin, who had been watching the live broadcast, breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could be happy, she heard a bang--

Father Qin smashed the cup with a calm face!

“What's wrong? Isn't it okay? The principal has announced that this incident has been turned over. Why are you making such a big deal?” Mother Qin complained, patting her chest.

“You really only have omega-like opinions!” Father Qin pointed to his wife's nose and cursed: “Don't even mention it, Xiao Jun's matter is in the hands of the Tang family. They can turn over the old account whenever they want. Is it that you can stop them from calling the police, is it?! Damn the Tang family and the Gu family, don't think this will be easily turned around!”

“Where are you going?”

Looking back at his wife who only knew how to cry, Father Qin said coldly, “Where else can I go? To clean up the mess for your stupid son!”

The headmaster's speech in the live broadcast room continued: “I really envy you, students. We didn't have omega cheerleaders for our admission ceremony. If there were, I might have been motivated to get first place.”

He looked at the young omega who was so energetic, confident, and generous, and at the restless and eager alpha students, he couldn't help but smile and say: “Behave yourself, brats, don't let the omegas who came to cheerlead laugh at me!”

The voices of the military cadets were heard from the audience, and the principal's slightly vicissitudes eyes were stained with smiles.

I really envy you guys, at the best age, you can meet an omega that will make your heart beat for a lifetime.

Even if you can't embrace the beauty, you can remember those amazing years when you recall your youth.
