The Coveted Gloomy Beta Roommate Chapter 74.2

Part 2

It was all because there were too many curs outside. His wife was too soft-hearted, didn’t know how to refuse, couldn’t push them away.

He gritted his teeth, as if making a huge resolve. Almost throwing caution to the wind, he squeezed a sentence out from between his teeth: “…If you really want to have a group thing, I… I’ll find them for you.”

Tang Xingye: “…?”

Teardrops still hung on his eyelashes; his whole person was stunned.

He really didn’t discriminate against Lu Zhi, but he suspected Lu Zhi’s IQ had been cleared to zero by the disorder syndrome.

Lin Mo said coldly, “You really have no self-respect. Is pestering interesting?”

“Are you talking about yourself? Give up,” Lu Zhi retorted sarcastically. “Xingxing doesn’t like your type. But when we get married later, we’ll invite you to be the best man, so you can have some sense of participation.”

“Married?” Lin Mo sneered. “With that body of yours, half a foot in the coffin? New marriage turning directly into a funeral? If so, I’d be happy to officiate.”

So what if Tang Xingye liked Lu Zhi? Lu Zhi would die sooner than him anyway.

Tang Xingye: “…”

Why were they arguing again?

“Xingxing, you can’t have this kind of mistress whose mouth isn’t sweet at all. Wearing a cold face all day, like someone owes him millions; sooner or later he’ll make you angry.” Lu Zhi dragged Lin Mo down while putting drops in Tang Xingye’s eyes (slandering Lin Mo).

Tang Xingye blinked. He hadn’t expected Lu Zhi, who was about to beat someone up just now, to settle down again. He gave a soft “Mn.”

Hearing this “Mn,” Lu Zhi seemed encouraged. He leaned close to Tang Xingye’s ear, lowered his voice, tone increasingly sincere, and continued to spread rumors about Lin Mo. “Don’t look at Lin Mo’s lofty appearance. Who knows how wild he plays in private. I’ll find you better ones, deliver them to your door. Guaranteed to be obedient and sweet, coaxing you to be happy every day.”

Tang Xingye was a bit confused by his state of switching instantly from rage to docility, then seamlessly to fanning flames.

Tang Xingye blinked and suddenly asked softly, devoid of emotion, “Then when we sleep, will you be under the bed?”

Lu Zhi: “…”

“You want me to watch you guys sleep?” Lu Zhi’s voice rose a bit, then realizing he couldn’t lose his composure in front of a rival, he lowered his voice again, gritting his teeth. “Neglect play?”

Tang Xingye was really getting excessive. Not letting him eat, and making him watch others eat.

Tang Xingye: “…”

Expressionless, he searched for the stun baton that had rolled aside. He skillfully turned on the switch. The ghostly blue electric arc snapped again, illuminating his cold profile in the dim light.

He warned Lu Zhi, “If you talk nonsense again, I’ll let you try real electric shock play.”

Lu Zhi only wanted fragrant, soft kisses and painful, pleasurable slaps. Electric shock belonged to developing new gameplay. Did Tang Xingye want to be an S?

But he didn’t want to be an M.

Lu Zhi didn’t dare say this, afraid of angering Tang Xingye and letting that bitch Lin Mo take advantage.

Tang Xingye knew Lu Zhi’s feelings for him, and that the intimate act with Lin Mo had stimulated him. He turned to Lin Mo and said, “You go back first.”

Lin Mo felt jealousy again from Tang Xingye’s soft-hearted attitude. His chest, originally filled with satisfaction and happiness, suddenly filled with anger. He clenched his fists, knuckles cracking.

Eventually, he let go. He knew the relationship progress today had reached a boundary; going further would arouse Tang Xingye’s disgust.

The room quieted down again. Lu Zhi looked at the ambiguous marks on the side of Tang Xingye’s waist, unable to stop thinking: Did Lin Mo only kiss Tang Xingye? Did he lick other places?

Lin Mo, this dog, hid so deep. He waited in the dorm for Tang Xingye for so long, yet didn’t discover Lin Mo’s intentions. Otherwise, maybe one day, Lin Mo would sneak onto Tang Xingye’s bed while he didn’t know and grope him all over.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi was full of resentment. Clearly, he had tolerated the interaction between Lin Mo and Tang Xingye in experiments. Why, knowing their relationship was extraordinary, did he still have to join in?

Shameless mistress!

Pretending to be high and cold all day, but secretly thinking of climbing into bed!

Tang Xingye called Lu Zhi a few times but got no response. He frowned: “What are you thinking?”

Lu Zhi subconsciously followed Tang Xingye’s words: “Thinking about climbing into bed.”

Tang Xingye: “…”

Tang Xingye didn’t speak, which made Lu Zhi turn pale with fright. “You aren’t really thinking of letting me sleep under the bed and watch you guys play!”

Tang Xingye: “…”

He put the stun baton aside, covered himself with the quilt, turned his back to Lu Zhi, and didn’t want to pay attention to him. Anyway, Lu Zhi would reconcile himself.

Didn’t chase him away. Was this a tacit agreement that he could stay?

Surprise bubbled in Lu Zhi’s heart, and the corners of his lips hooked into a smile.

Lu Zhi climbed onto Tang Xingye’s bed and happily sent a message: [I’m sleeping beside Wifey again. Sharing my happiness for you guys to rub off on.]

To avoid Tang Xingye inadvertently raising another dog, and simultaneously to observe the rivals’ emotional progress, Lu Zhi created a small group chat and pulled everyone in.

Pei Lian gritted his teeth: [Filthy dog.]

Lu Zhi: [No need to envy. We are about to be in a relationship of deep marking.]

Ji Chen sneered, pointing out sharply: [If you guys were really doing something, you wouldn’t have time to send messages here.]

Lu Zhi: “…”

Ji Chen actually got it right.

Ji Chen: [He sprained his ankle. Watch your sleeping posture, don’t disturb him.]

Lu Zhi licked his canine teeth, a bit annoyed at Ji Chen’s tone of the main wife instructing the concubine, but it made sense.

Lu Zhi: [Of course I know proper limits, no need for you to remind me.]

Tang Xingye was thinking about Lin Mo’s words. There was a hidden conflict between them. Lin Mo probably didn’t know how many bad things he had written about him. Even if he deleted those things, the bad deeds done wouldn’t vanish with the wind.

Tang Xingye rolled over, only to face a pile of pillows.

Lu Zhi lay on the other side. A line of defense was built between them with pillows. Hearing the movement of turning over, Lu Zhi lowered his voice and asked, “Can’t sleep?”

Tang Xingye found it a bit funny. Who was Lu Zhi guarding against with the pillows? If he really wanted to do something to Lu Zhi, he would kick him off just the same.

“Take the pillows away.”

Lu Zhi couldn’t quite believe it. He pushed his luck and asked, “Then can I sleep holding you?”

Tang Xingye thought for a moment and nodded. The autumn night was a bit cool; the Alpha’s body temperature was just right.

The tall body encircled him. Tang Xingye absorbed the warmth. “You can’t sleep either?”

“You have things in your heart you don’t want to tell me. Is it because I’m not worth trusting,” Lu Zhi lowered his head, resting it in Tang Xingye’s embrace like an uneasy cub, his tone revealing sadness and sorrow, “or do you feel I’m dying soon and unreliable?”

Lu Zhi suffered for a period after differentiation. After thinking it through, he prepared to face death.

Tang Xingye made him think for the first time: It would be good if I could live on. It would be good to grow old hand in hand with this person.

“Don’t you also have things you haven’t told me?” Tang Xingye chuckled lightly.

Lu Zhi paused. Tang Xingye could always accurately puncture the calm façade he tried to maintain. Perhaps due to the alcohol, Lu Zhi couldn’t help letting his imagination run wild.

His medical report showed his disorder syndrome was alleviated, but he wasn’t sure if it was a flash in the pan or true improvement. Hopes dashed were the hardest to bear. He didn’t dare say it, didn’t even dare let himself have too many expectations.

Even if Tang Xingye didn’t love him, he had a little bit of liking or sympathy for him. When he truly fell into darkness, he would be a little sad for him, right?

He couldn’t bear to let Tang Xingye be sad for his possible death, to witness the death of someone close again.

Being a silly dog in Tang Xingye’s eyes wasn’t bad.

Being a bit silly, keeping him company, being able to make Tang Xingye laugh—he should be satisfied. But why… did his heart still feel a dense sourness and sadness?

The tall Alpha curled up hugging Tang Xingye. Even in a curled posture, his physique was still large, yet now he exuded a sense of helplessness.

“Do you feel thirsty?” Tang Xingye smelled the bitter cocoa scent and asked.

“Very thirsty.” Lu Zhi met his eyes and said.

“There’s water on the table, you can drink.”

“That’s for you.”

“Even if you’re dying of thirst, you won’t drink?” Tang Xingye emphasized again: “You can drink.”

“The water looks like it doesn’t want to be drunk by me.” Lu Zhi’s voice was dull, carrying a certain self-loathing.

Tang Xingye was silent for a while, then asked him, “Right now, besides water, do you have any other way to quench thirst?”

“No.” Lu Zhi looked at Tang Xingye. He had been telling the truth.

The two of them were talking about ambiguous topics, conducting a dialogue about thirst and drinking water, yet clearly discussing another matter they both understood well.

Tang Xingye raised his hand. His fingertips, carrying the chill of the night, gently patted his face.

The moonlight outlined his beautiful profile, adding a soft filter. He looked down attentively, gaze focused, lips carrying a shallow smile. He looked like a gentle deity, silently comforting his lost child.

Lu Zhi looked at such a Tang Xingye and throbbed again. For a moment, the unease in his heart was dispelled.

His brain heated up, and words came out without thinking: “I really like you.”

However, Tang Xingye reached out and flicked his forehead, tone like teasing a puppy: “So stupid. So drunk you can’t even drink water.”

Lu Zhi: “…”

Suddenly felt like someone threw cold water on him; the drunkenness scattered quite a bit.

He had been conflicted there for a long time, thinking Tang Xingye was obscurely telling him via the water metaphor, “I allow you to approach, I allow you to take,” but Tang Xingye really treated him as a silly dog.

Tang Xingye: “Get down and drink yourself.”

Lu Zhi avoided looking at Tang Xingye’s expression, hugging Tang Xingye tighter. The two stuck together seamlessly. Lu Zhi wrapped around the person like a giant koala. “You won’t abandon me, right?”

Tang Xingye wanted to push him away, hearing him ask relentlessly. He still reached out, as if soothing a large dog confused by the rain.

“Rest assured,” his tone sounded very calm, “before our transaction is completely settled, I won’t leave you alone.”

He paused, then added a sentence, voice lighter:

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Lu Zhi stared at Tang Xingye. “Are you really starting to like me, and worrying about me?”

Tang Xingye didn’t answer this question. He just patted Lu Zhi’s head. Lu Zhi’s expression cleared slightly. He wasn’t overly sensitive, just that emotions and alcohol infinitely amplified an impulse needing confirmation.

Seeing Lu Zhi’s emotions stabilize, Tang Xingye prepared to get up to go to the toilet.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi thought he was leaving and immediately grabbed him, pulling the person back.

“Lu Zhi!”

Tang Xingye was startled by his sudden movement and struggled, but his wrists were firmly clamped by Lu Zhi’s hot palms, pressed against the pillow. This posture squeezed Tang Xingye’s lower abdomen, and an urgent bloating sensation instantly became hard to ignore.

He was really fed up. What kind of messy things were happening tonight?

Tang Xingye twisted his waist trying to dodge, crawling outward, but Lu Zhi wouldn’t allow him to leave, rubbing against him.

His palm buckled Tang Xingye’s knee pit. Fingers with distinct joints sank involuntarily into the soft, creamy skin of the thigh, grabbing hard, squeezing out white and full curves from between the fingers.

Tang Xingye’s face flushed red. Interwoven with shame and physiological reaction, he subconsciously clamped his knees together, but it seemed like he clamped the other’s hand tight.

The Beta’s body proportions were born extremely well. This posture of kneeling and crawling in an attempt to escape highlighted the smooth back lines even more.

Beautiful butterfly bones protruded slightly, rising and falling with rapid breathing, connecting to that slender waist, then drawing a full and perky, astonishing arc downwards.

This posture, which should have been unbearable, presented a soul-stirring fragility and temptation on him.

His cold brows were dyed with shame, eyes stained with wateriness, yet burning with magnificent anger. The tails of his eyes were wet and red as he turned back to glare viciously at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi’s thirst rose higher. Following his instinct, he lowered his body, burying his face deep, longing for the long-awaited warm softness, sucking and quenching his thirst almost greedily.
