Chapter 77: Stomach Ailment Flare-up
“Baby, you really have made progress.”
The pheromones of the two beautifully intertwined. Ye Chiyu held the drowsy Su Tang, whispering in the Omega’s ear.
“That’s… of course…”
Su Tang was exhausted. Finally struggling to open a crack of his eyes, he looked at his Alpha’s handsome face and replied weakly.
The next day, Ye Chiyu went to the company very early. When Su Tang woke up, he was alone at home again.
The Alpha had left a note by the bedside table. Su Tang lazed in bed for a long time hugging the quilt and only saw it when he crawled up.
[Tangtang, there are matters at the company. I’ve gone to work first and will be back tonight. Rest well at home by yourself. If you need anything, contact me by phone at any time. Be good. — Yu]
The Alpha’s handwriting was elegant and beautiful. Su Tang stared at the note and read it several times, then cherished it by tucking it into a book he liked to read, his face secretly turning red.
When he finished washing up and went downstairs, he found the Alpha had already set the prepared breakfast on the table. There was freshly baked bread sent over from the old mansion this morning, milk, and the fruit cornflakes Su Tang had always liked.
After more than half a month of fitness, Su Tang hadn’t eaten such a normal breakfast in a long time. His heart was moved to a mess. Sitting at the dining table, he added the cornflakes into the bowl and poured on the milk, beginning to eat breakfast happily and cherish every small bite.
While eating happily, Jiang Cha sent a message telling him to look at the Weibo hot searches; there was good stuff. Su Tang picked up his phone with interest.
As soon as he entered Weibo, he found the third hot search was: [#SuTangEncounteredEverywhere].
Su Tang thought this hot search was quite interesting, so he clicked in curiously.
After looking, he realized the cause was that when he went to SILENCE to find Wen Lang, a photographer had happened to capture a scene of him looking up at the flowers under the weeping begonia. That photographer had posted it online last night.
Initially, it was just the photographer’s fans marveling at his composition and color grading, praising that the boy in the lens smiling up at the flowers was very beautiful. Later, some fans gradually felt that this boy’s face looked somewhat familiar.
As a result, it naturally followed that people discovered this boy seemed to be the Su Tang who had become popular from Shi Xue a while ago. Then this photo was discovered by Su Tang’s fans.
However, this was only the fuse for this hot search.
The real reason this hot search jumped out was that after fans saw that photo, they lamented in the Super Topic why others could encounter Su Tang so easily. Later, as more people saw it, some gradually posted photos they had taken of encountering Su Tang.
Some encountered Su Tang buying vegetables in the supermarket, some encountered Su Tang buying flowers in a flower shop, and some even encountered Su Tang checking his ticket alone at the cinema entrance…
Even funnier was that someone had taken a photo of Su Tang riding an electric scooter.
So it turned out stars also rode electric scooters to travel. This photo directly ignited everyone’s humor. Such a “down-to-earth” action made netizens feel that stars weren’t that different from ordinary people. Instantly, even more people had a good impression of Su Tang.
Thus, Su Tang got onto a strangely hilarious hot search, bringing a wave of unexpected popularity.
Fortunately, these photos from netizens didn’t capture Ye Xiansheng. Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that someone in his Super Topic even mocked that the stickers on his “Little White” were too flowery, he couldn’t help but laugh.
While he was laughing, another message from Jiang Cha popped up.
[Su Tang, it’s not that I’m saying anything, but isn’t the frequency of you being photographed while out normally a bit too high? As an artist, can’t you learn some disguise?]
Su Tang replied with a “little bear shrugging” emoji, expressing that he didn’t want to be photographed either.
[Fortunately, everyone hasn’t photographed anything they shouldn’t. Pay attention yourself.]
Su Tang honestly replied with an “okay,” put down his phone, and began to immerse himself in eating.
After eating a breakfast full of happiness, Su Tang lazily curled up on the sofa to read the script, seriously contemplating the character of Chen Nuo while immersing himself in the script.
S City had a tropical climate. Not long after the Lunar New Year, the temperature had already begun to rise. Su Tang looked at the bright sun outside, moved his stiff neck, and suddenly wanted to eat ice cream.
Normally, the Alpha kept a strict requirement on his diet because he knew he had a stomach ailment. Let alone ice cream, even eating spicy food was strictly restricted.
However, Ye Xiansheng wouldn’t be back until tonight.
“Heehee~”
A cunning smile appeared on Su Tang’s face. Putting down the script, he went straight to the kitchen and took a tub of ice cream from the refrigerator.
He would just sneak a little and put it back after eating. Ye Xiansheng never ate ice cream, so he wouldn’t specifically look, and he definitely wouldn’t know he had snuck some.
Having a little plan in his heart, Su Tang solemnly washed a small spoon, then held the tub of ice cream and began to eat happily.
The vanilla-lemon flavored ice cream melted in his mouth, the texture soft and delicate. It was simply a blessing for a sweet-lover like Su Tang.
Once he started eating, he couldn’t stop. By the time Su Tang finally realized he should stop, more than half of that large tub of ice cream had been polished off by him.
“Uh, oh no.”
Su Tang somewhat awkwardly stuck out his tongue and hurriedly put the lid back on the ice cream tub and shoved it back into the refrigerator.
While washing the spoon, Su Tang muttered to himself: “Having eaten this much, it’s a bit obvious. Ye Xiansheng won’t find out, right? But as long as he doesn’t open the refrigerator, he definitely won’t know.”
It had to be said that his self-comfort was very effective. After Su Tang quickly cleaned up the “crime scene,” he picked up the script and continued reading with a calm and composed manner. After watching for a while, he felt at ease again.
Time soon reached noon. Ye Chiyu called to ask if he had eaten lunch. Su Tang, with a stomach full of ice cream, answered somewhat unnaturally that he was already full and told Ye Xiansheng to eat well too.
“Mm, be good,” Ye Chiyu stood up to organize the somewhat messy documents and picked up his coat to head out. “I’m going downstairs to eat now.”
Su Tang spoke softly: “Okay, Ye Xiansheng, go ahead.”
He was worried that the longer he talked to Ye Xiansheng, the easier it would be to reveal a flaw. Just as he was about to hang up, the Alpha added another sentence, “Don’t secretly eat anything cold or spicy at home, understood?”
Su Tang guiltily replied “I know,” then quickly said “Goodbye, Ye Xiansheng” and hung up.
Ye Chiyu stared at the phone, which was giving a busy signal, somewhat puzzled.
Qi Yuan pushed the door open and saw Ye Chiyu staring at his phone. He asked, “President, what’s wrong? Let’s go down to eat.”
Something’s fishy.
Ye Chiyu frowned and walked out with his long legs.
“Qi Yuan, go eat by yourself. I’m going home. There’s something I’m not quite at ease about.”
His little guy rarely hung up his phone so hastily; he must have a guilty conscience and be hiding something from him.
On the other side.
Su Tang regretted it as soon as he hung up Ye Xiansheng’s phone. He was an actor after all; why couldn’t he have acted more composed just now?
However, he soon had no mood for regret. A sudden sharp pain came from his stomach. Su Tang’s face turned pale. Clutching his stomach, he dashed to the bathroom, grabbed the toilet, and began to vomit.
“Blegh—”
Cold sweat broke out in waves, and his loungewear was soon soaked. Su Tang vomited uncomfortably, his stomach feeling like it was on fire. Through the fabric of his clothes, he could feel his stomach jumping restlessly.
Initially, he only vomited up the things he ate this morning. Physiological tears fell non-stop. Su Tang himself couldn’t distinguish whether what was dripping from the tip of his nose to the floor was sweat or tears.
The sharp pain in his stomach never stopped. Later, even though his stomach contents were empty, he couldn’t stop dry-heaving. Pale green bile was vomited out, his mouth tasting bitter and astringent.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have been so greedy.
Su Tang recalled the day his stomach ailment first flared up during his senior year of high school; it was also because he was greedy and ate a tub of ice cream.
The intense sharp pain and non-stop dry-heaving almost left the Omega without strength. He was half-kneeling over the toilet in an extremely distorted posture. Probably because it hurt too much, his right hand was ruthlessly and firmly pressing against his frantically jumping stomach, his lips turning a blue-white.
“Hah…”
Everything in his stomach had been vomited out. Su Tang fell to the floor in pain, his body trembling and curled up. He couldn’t even squeeze out the strength to crawl to the bathroom to get his phone.
The familiar scent of Alpha pheromones broke into the house. Su Tang struggled to lift his eyelids and let out an extremely small, pained moan.
Ye Chiyu’s brow was tightly furrowed. Following the scent of the Omega’s pheromones, he strode to the bathroom. With a grim face, he scooped the Omega—who was so pained and covered in cold sweat he looked like he had been fished out of water—from the floor and into his arms.
“Tangtang?”
The Alpha’s voice trembled slightly. He tried to calm himself down and used a towel to clean the filth from the corner of Su Tang’s mouth, confirming the Omega wouldn’t choke on vomit and cause more serious consequences.
As soon as Su Tang opened his eyes, the world spun. He instinctively reached out his pale fingers to grab Ye Chiyu’s sleeve. Although he couldn’t see the expression on the Alpha’s face clearly, his intuition told him his Ye Xiansheng was angry.
“It hurts… Ye Xiansheng…”
He didn’t have much strength. His whole being seemed to have fallen into water, his body drifting. His vision was a blur of white, unable to see anything. In the Alpha’s arms, even his pained whimpers were like those of a dying puppy—intermittent.
Ye Chiyu’s face was cold, and he didn’t answer him.
He carried the person steadily and walked quickly. Was this little thing an idiot? Eating whatever he wanted, not knowing what kind of “glass stomach” he had.
“Ye Xiansheng,” Su Tang’s head rested softly in the crook of the Alpha’s arm. His stomach hurt so much his tears flowed, but he was still thinking about Ye Chiyu being angry. “I… I’m sorry.”
“Shut up.”
Ye Chiyu frowned, his voice as cold as if it were frozen. His pace didn’t stop for a second as he sent the person to the hospital.
Translator’s Note: Welcome back! A “glass stomach” (玻璃胃 – bōlí wèi) is a Chinese term for someone with an extremely sensitive or fragile stomach. And “Little White” (小白 – Xiǎo Bái) is Su Tang’s nickname for his white electric scooter. Poor Su Tang—he really should have listened to Ye Xiansheng!
