Chapter 4 - We Are Too Close (2/2)

Ruan Bai raised his hand and tried to push She Yuan away. “Mr. She, you… We’re too close.”

She Yuan explained, poker-faced, “You are too short. I will feel uncomfortable and can’t walk smoothly if I keep you at arm’s length.”

Ruan Bai raised his head and realized that he was much shorter than She Yuan. With resignation, he nodded. ‘Anyway, Alphas’s physical qualities are much better than Omegas’. I shouldn’t compare myself with him,’ he thought.

After crossing the campus, there was still a long distance to the school’s family dormitory building. They two sank into silence and felt embarrassed.

Ruan Bai was a shy and retiring person, but this time he took the initiative to break the ice and tried to get closer to Professor She.

“Mr. She, are your lessons difficult? I’m interested in law. Can I go to your law class?” asked Ruan Bai.

She Yuan answered, “My lessons are not difficult. If you want to study law, I will help you make up the missed lessons.”

‘What? Don’t you realize that I was just making the ritual noises? I don’t want to make up the missed lessons at all,’ Ruan Bai thought.

“Haha… Thank you, Mr. She. I will ask for your help when I’m free.”

After that, they both remained silent for a while. Then Ruan Bai braced himself to change the subject, “Mr. She, you have been injured. Shall I call your family and ask them to come here to look after you? Or shall I hire a health care worker for you?”

“My parents are abroad. It’s not convenient for me to hire a health care worker. Er, are you free recently?” asked She Yuan.

Ruan Bai sensed She Yuan’s intention and stammered, “… Ah… I… I’m busy with my studies…”

“When you are free, come to my home and take care of me. By the way, I have your class schedule.”

Ruan Bai nodded reluctantly and gave up talking to She Yuan. ‘I will never be a social animal because I lack social skills,’ he thought.

She Yuan put his arms around Ruan Bai’s neck and treated Ruan Bai as a walking stick. He didn’t let go of Ruan Bai until he reached his door.

When Ruan Bai got out of She Yuan’s arms, he felt dizzy and disoriented.

She Yuan pinched Ruan Bai’s white creamy cheek and said, “Wake up. We got home.”
