TLAIALS Chapter 17

Clear skies, mild sunshine, and the good weather was favourable for his mood. The horses were galloping on the turf. Chu Yi Qiao felt that he had not been so relaxed for a long time, not to mention hearing the cheers of Luo Qing Ye in his arms, which seemed to take him back to his youth, an age that is unbridled, extremely rebellious, and yearning for freedom.

Running to the furthest position of the racecourse before slowing down and stopping, and then leading the horse slowly back the same way.

“Happy?”

Luo Qing Ye leaned against Chu Yi Qiao’s chest, he felt his heartbeat colliding with Chu Yi Qiao’s heartbeat, their heartbeats were as clear as beating drums, each beat made him feel like he was getting closer to Chu Yi Qiao.

He turned his head to look at Chu Yi Qiao, his smile bright to the extreme: “Very happy.”

His eyes fell on the thin sweat on Chu Yi Qiao’s forehead. What he was thinking about was what the butler said just now. The butler only spoke halfway. He said that he didn’t like to be close to Alphas, so what about him?

Why is he willing to let him get close?

Was it because he was obedient?

“I liked horseback riding when I was studying. I would come here when I was depressed. I enjoy the feeling of racing against the wind.” Chu Yi Qiao pulled the reins and let the horse walk to the side of the lake. He said warmly: “There was a lot of pressure at that time, the pressure of studying, the pressure of the family business, the pressure of shouldering everything, it was dense and impermeable, I was like an iron wall that couldn’t stop.”

There was also the pressure of his physical situation, the pressure of being an Omega and not being able to inherit and being maliciously attacked, taking on everything he couldn’t bear.

The only thing holding him together was hatred.

He hated that the blood of the Jiang family was flowing through his veins, and hated that the Alphas used Omegas as weak and incompetent tools. So he couldn’t compromise, let alone give up everything his mother left to him, and take away everything from the Jiang family. No matter how tired he was, he had to move forward.

It may also be that he is not destined to be perfect. He doesn’t know when something will happen to him. As He She said, when the value of pheromone disorder syndrome in his body reaches an uncontrollable threshold, his body will react immediately and he may start to vomit blood, may leave in high fever, or may also become a vegetative state due to shock.

But before it gets so bad, he can’t give up the plan that is about to succeed. Only by taking back everything that belongs to him can his dead mother rest in peace in the underworld.

“Ge Ge, are you very tired?”

A hand touched his forehead, and the comfortable contact made Chu Yi Qiao lower his eyes. He met Luo Qing Ye’s clear and bright eyes, and the cleanliness that showed no knowledge of the world made him a little shaken: “I was just before, but not anymore.”

He has long been accustomed to living in a whirlpool, accustomed to the impeccable iron walls, and he will not be tired anymore.

Now he was going to train Luo Qing Ye to be like that as well.

“Ge Ge, the biology book has you in it, saying that you are a great scientist because you invented the blocker vaccine to protect countless Omegas. You are also the chairman of the Omega Protection Association, protecting thousands of Omegas. You are an outstanding young entrepreneur, the leader of the Galaxy Group, managing more than 100,000 employees, researching medical devices, and benefiting the society. A lot of people worship and admire you, thinking you’re very powerful.”

Chu Yi Qiao listened to Luo Qing Ye’s compliments to himself, in fact, he was indifferent inside, he had heard these words too many times, they had no effect on him.

“But you’re just my Ge Ge.”

Chu Yi Qiao’s grip on the reins lurched.

The horse also stopped and lowered its head to drink water by the lake¹previously it was a lake, but now it’s a river…I think it might be a type so I kept it as a lake.

Luo Qing Ye gazed at Chu Yi Qiao and used his sleeve to wipe the sweat from Chu Yi Qiao’s forehead: “It doesn’t matter how powerful Chu Yi Qiao is outside, a scientist, an entrepreneur, but at home, in Xiao Ye’s heart, you are my Ge Ge, the Ge Ge who seems hard to get close to but is actually soft-hearted and gentle. It is you who are willing to give me a home, and you do not dislike my background, nor do you ask about my past.”

“You have Xiao Ye now, I can help Ge Ge shoulder the burden.” Luo Qing Ye hugged his waist²unless he’s sitting with both legs on one side of the horse, I don’t quite see how it’s possible to hug his waist. 🤔 and put his ear against Chu Yi Qiao’s heart to listen to the sound of his heartbeat: “I will study hard in school, quickly grow up to stand beside Ge Ge and help you, Ge Ge you can also stop being so tired, Xiao Ye will protect you.”

Ge Ge’s waist is so thin.

The teenager’s words were heartfelt, and the embrace was warm.

Chu Yi Qiao didn’t expect that there would be such a person who would say this to him, nor did he expect Luo Qing Ye to say something like protecting him. From childhood to adulthood, he was all alone, living alone, going to school alone, fighting alone. Luo Qing Ye was the first surprise when he reached the age of 28. He opened a huge gift box that broke his life.

And another thing is,

He didn’t resent Luo Qing Ye being near him.

There was a numbness and heat on the back of his neck, and he suddenly remembered the dream he had last night. He dreamt of Luo Qing Ye.

This little alpha is too clingy.

Not letting him go even in his dreams.

So as long as Luo Qing Ye behaved, he could give him all the best things in the world.

“So good.” Chu Yi Qiao rubbed Luo Qing Ye’s head and pulled the reins to make the horse turn around: “Ge Ge will teach you how to ride a horse, you first hold the reins with both hands.”

Luo Qing Ye grabbed the reins, then he saw Chu Yi Qiao’s hand covering the back of his hand, holding the reins with him, his gaze went down, this pair of hands that were even fairer and longer than his was like a work of art under the sunlight, letting people freely look without feeling tired, unable to turn away.

If this hand is used to grab the bed sheets, how would it look?

He admitted that he always thought about these things, but facing Chu Yi Qiao, he really couldn’t control it.

Under the careful guidance of Chu Yi Qiao, Luo Qing Ye quickly learnt to ride a horse. The two of them played from early morning to late afternoon, seeing that the sun was getting stronger, they returned to the villa on the racecourse to rest.

“Hiss……”

When walking back to the villa, Chu Yi Qiao saw Luo Qing Ye taking a few steps and then stopping a few steps. At this moment, he heard the sound of Luo Qing Ye inhaling cold air and stopped his footsteps. Looking sideways, he saw Luo Qing Ye’s expression was slightly red:

“What’s wrong?”

Luo Qing Ye was a little embarrassed to say it. Seeing that the villa was still some distance away, it hurt to move his legs.

At this moment, Chu Yi Qiao seemed to remember something. His eyes fell on Luo Qing Ye’s legs and he chuckled: “Did your thighs hurt from getting rubbed?”

“Ge Ge, you still laugh!” Luo Qing Ye’s face turned even redder when he saw Chu Yi Qiao laughing at him, glaring at him with some annoyance.

Chu Yi Qiao looked at Luo Qing Ye’s annoyed look, somehow felt pleased, the corner of his lips curved a little deeper:

“Want a hug³hug and carry uses the same word, I decided to go with hug cos it sounds better, especially for the context in the next part.?”

This little alpha hasn’t grown up yet. He can act coquettishly and is very well-behaved. He can have a little temper because it is quite cute.  At the thought that he will grow up fast in the future, he felt a little pity that he may not see this kind of appearance anymore.

“I can walk by myself, I don’t need Ge Ge to hug.” Luo Qing Ye just inexplicably felt his self-esteem come up. Originally, being able to hear Chu Yi Qiao saying ‘hug’, he’ll definitely agree without saying a word, but just now Chu Yi Qiao easily carried him onto the horse, such a disparity of strength made him a little frustrated.

After all, he is an alpha. It’s okay to pretend to be weak, but it’s not okay to be really weak.

The moment he finished speaking, he was caught off guard and hugged by Chu Yi Qiao. When he felt weightless, his eyes widened in shock, and he reflexively put his arms around Chu Yi Qiao’s shoulders.

It seemed that his self-esteem suffered a bigger setback than when he was carried up the horse. This was a completely different feeling than when he took the initiative.

“No need to show off in front of me, say it when it hurts, say it when you’re upset, no need to hide it.” Chu Yi Qiao picked up Luo Qing Ye horizontally, as if the person he was holding in his arms didn’t have the slightest weight, and walked towards the villa at the front: “Calling me Ge Ge, then I’m your Ge Ge, and it’s good to be frank and honest between brothers.”

Luo Qing Ye opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say. He was suddenly speechless and felt at a loss, how to feel……

It’s not him taking the lead anymore.

His beating heart was almost out of his throat, he was inexplicably nervous.

Chu Yi Qiao lowered his eyes and looked at Luo Qing Ye, and saw the little Alpha lowering his head. He was not shy but pursed his lips tightly, as if he was struggling but also in disbelief. He could see Luo Qing Ye’s expression which seemed like a smile but not a smile, said no more.

“Ge Ge, that……did it hurt there when you first learned to ride a horse?”

Chu Yi Qiao carried Luo Qing Ye upstairs to the rest room. Hearing him finally speak out unbearably, he smiled and said nothing. Putting Luo Qing Ye next to the bed, he happened to see the housekeeper standing at the door. He said a few words and asked him to help get some ointment, then turned and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Luo Qing Ye was a little confused until he saw Chu Yi Qiao press the curtain button next to the floor-to-ceiling window, and his throat tightened slightly as he watched the thick curtains slowly being closed.

“It’ll hurt.” Chu Yi Qiao turned around, and with a ‘tearing’ sound, he took off his leather gloves.

Luo Qing Ye watched the slender white hands come out of the black gloves. The strong colour contrast made the picture extremely impactful. It was obvious that he was just taking off his gloves, but it carried an indescribable temptation. His eyes were fixed on Chu Yi Qiao, as if he was looking forward to taking off this riding outfit.

Only unfortunately, it didn’t come off.

“Young Master, I brought the ointment.” The housekeeper knocked on the door and walked to Chu Yi Qiao’s side with the ointment and handed it to him.

Chu Yi Qiao took the ointment: “Go prepare lunch, we will go down in an hour.”

“Okay Young Master.” The housekeeper nodded and looked thoughtfully at Luo Qing Ye on the bed before leaving and closing the door.

The room was instantly quiet after closing the door, and this quietness was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Luo Qing Ye’s throat tightened: “……Ge Ge, why did you close the curtains ah?”

Then he saw Chu Yi Qiao half squatting in front of himself.

His gaze went straight into Chu Yi Qiao’s eyes without glasses. The glazed brown eyes were gleaming with tenderness under the light above his head. Then he saw Chu Yi Qiao’s lips curled up into a smile. In an instant, he felt as if he had been struck in the bullseye. Then, when his eyes fell on these lips, he thought of something.

“I’m afraid you’ll be shy so I closed the curtains.” Chu Yi Qiao opened the lid of the ointment, raised his eyes and smiled: “Take off your trousers, I’ll help you apply the ointment.”

“!” Luo Qing Ye’s back stiffened, the corner of his mouth twitched stiffly, this is to asking him to open his legs and then……“Ge Ge I’ll do it myself.”

He wanted to take the ointment as he spoke.

“Look, you are shy again.” Chu Yi Qiao took the ointment back and smiled gently: “It’s okay, there’s no need to be shy in front of Ge Ge.”

Luo Qing Ye met Chu Yi Qiao’s smiling eyes again, gentle, elegant, and flawless, as if he really was a perfect and good Ge Ge. If it is true, as the housekeeper said, that Chu Yi Qiao has always hated Alphas, then what exactly did he count as?

Allowing himself to integrate into his domain, allowing himself to be touched up close and personal, and even giving himself the hope of being cultivated into his right-hand man. There is no such thing as good as a pie falling from the sky, but the one who is handing him the pie now is Chu Yi Qiao.

This man has an irresistible charm that makes people want to get closer even though they know the danger. However, he is insistently counterattacked by such gentleness.

But so what.

He was willing.

Luo Qing Ye’s hand touched his waist, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he raised his eyes cautiously, his eyes full of shyness, showing his desire to welcome but also his refusal:

“Then Ge Ge you be more gentle, Xiao Ye is afraid of pain.”

Chu Yi Qiao lowered his eyes and laughed out: “Okay.”
