The Tang Family’s Seven Os

Chapter 2 - Arc 1: O

Arc 1: O

Today is the monthly family reunion day of the Tang family. When everyone returned home, they found Tang Yi Yuan¹汤一圆 (tāng yī yuán): 汤 = soup, 一 = 1, 圆 = circle/round, Not sure if it has anything to do with O being a circle. 汤圆 = Glutinous rice ball, sometimes with filling like peanut or black sesame. All the brothers are named similarly, 二圆 (èr yuán), 三圆 (sān yuán), 四圆 (sì yuán), 五圆 (wǔ yuán), 六圆 (lìu yuán) and 七圆 (qī yuán); lit 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, obviously in a bad mood, and a red suitcase next to it. Everyone automatically consciously did not come forward to disturb him. It was almost lunch time and the low pressure near Tang Yi Yuan still showed no sign of dissipating. Tang Er Yuan couldn’t help but glance at him and asked, “What did Lu Cheng do again?” Tang Yi Yuan remained silent and refused to answer. Tang San Yuan finished swiping through the fans’ messages, put down the phone, and looked at him in a helpless tone: “What reason did you find for divorce again this time? It’s not that I’m saying you, don’t always get angry, every time you clamour for divorced because of a trivial matter, be careful Lu Cheng will get sick of it.” Tang Si Yuan plucked the broken hair in front of his forehead and propped his chin on his hand: “Last month I saw him order a new sports car for you. Such a good Alpha, you should be content. He is the person in power in the Lu group, you treat him like a little follower all day long. You have been married for four years and Lu Cheng is still obedient to you, it’s already not bad.” Tang Wu Yuan’s neat summary: “Treasure it well.” Tang Liu Yuan peeled a tangerine and while handing it to Tang Qi Yuan, he said, “A small temper is fine, a big one can hurt the relationship so don’t always argue for a divorce if you have nothing to do.” Tang Qi Yuan took the orange and nodded obediently, “Yes…” Tang Yi Yuan endured it for a while and finally shouted unbearably, “He is the one who wants to divorce me!” For a while, everyone seemed to be frozen and the tangerine in Tang Qi Yuan’s hand rolled straight to the ground. Lu Cheng wants a divorce! When Tang Bo Te and Yuan Qiu heard this, they immediately ran out of the kitchen. Although there were a lot of domestic helpers and cooks, what they liked most was to cook delicious food for their sons. Every time there is a family reunion, they will do everything personally. Tang Bo Te just happened to be ladling soup, he quickly put down the soup bowl and said in surprise, “Lu Cheng finally doesn’t want you anymore?” Tang Yi Yuan immediately turned to look at his father, his eyes were round and bright, with a hint of grievance. Yuan Qiu beat Tang Bo Te with the rolling pin in his hand, “Shut up.” Tang Bo Te rubbed his head, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he kept silent. Yuan Qiu picked up the tangerine and threw them into the trash, and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on?” Tang Yi Yuan pursed his lips and looked like he had been wronged, his eyes were also red, and it took a long time before he said, “…he lost his memory.” The people who had just eased up were tensed again, and exclaimed in unison, “Amnesia?” Yuan Qiu glanced helplessly at his Lao Gong²老攻 (lǎo gōng): 老 = old 攻 = seme/the top in a BL relationship homonymous with 老公 (lǎo gōng), an endearment for calling one’s own husband, not sure if the author wrote it this way on purpose. If this endearment appears in future, I will type it as Gõng so that readers can differentiate. and his stunned sons, walked over and held Tang Yi Yuan’s hand in his, asking in a warm voice, “Is he injured? Is it serious? Speak slowly…” Tang Yi Yuan looked at his father and felt even more aggrieved. With red eyes, he threw himself into Yuan Qiu’s arms like he did when he was a child and said intermittently, “The Lu Group is developing a new mecha recently… When Lu Cheng went to the laboratory for acceptance, the laboratory suddenly exploded. Although the safety measures in the laboratory were sufficient, Lu Cheng fell and fainted. His entire body was not injured at all, but… After he woke up, he forgot about the past four years… The doctor said that the explosion may have been overstimulating, and the wave of light damaged his brain. The doctor also doesn’t know when Lu Cheng will remember.” Tang Er Yuan blinked: “Forgot about the past four years? Isn’t that just forgetting the time when he was with you?” Tang San Yuan touched his chin: “He wouldn’t think he still likes that Beta, will he?” Tang Yi Yuan’s complexion darkened, this was what made him the most angry! Back then, he and Lu Cheng met at Interstellar High School. One of them had the highest combat ability and the other had the highest academic score. They were both topical characters in Interstellar High School, but because they were not in the same class, they didn’t have the chance to know each other. The reason they met was because Lu Cheng liked a Beta in Tang Yi Yuan’s class, so he always liked to hang out in Tang Yi Yuan’s class. His family was wealthy, his person was cheerful, and everyone in Tang Yi Yuan’s class liked him very much and was very welcoming towards him, but only that Beta didn’t like him and instead got very close to Tang Yi Yuan. Hence, Lu Cheng naturally suspected that Beta had some kind of affair with Tang Yi Yuan. Tang Yi Yuan had a hard time saying, in fact, that Beta was an Omega and he sprayed the inhibitor to disguise as a Beta. Tang Yi Yuan happened to see his inhibitor lose effectiveness and pheromones overflowed. In order to avoid causing disturbances in the school, Tang Yi Yuan helped him. From that day on, the Beta depended on him very much, but the two were just friends and there was no ambiguity at all. Tang Yi Yuan has always liked Lu Cheng. From the first day he saw Lu Cheng, he liked Lu Cheng. However, Lu Cheng didn’t like him and never even looked at him, so Tang Yi Yuan was angry. He let that Beta use him as a shield to reject Lu Cheng. In fact, it was just so that Lu Cheng could look at him a little more. His wish really came true. Lu Cheng looked at him a lot, but those eyes were always filled with anger and Lu Cheng treated him as a nemesis very seriously. Lu Cheng chased the Beta for half a year, and the Beta finally agreed and became Lu Cheng’s boyfriend. Lu Cheng was very proud at the time, flaunting his might in front of Tang Yi Yuan. Tang Yi Yuan pretended not to care in front of him, but when he turned his head, he cried silently with red eyes. Tang Yi Yuan was so sad for a month and suddenly there was news that Lu Cheng had been deceived! It turned out that Beta was an orphan and had already fallen in love with another Beta in the orphanage. The person he loved was a painter and he always wanted to study on another planet for further studies, but he had no money. Lu Cheng’s family was famously rich in Interstellar and he was even chasing after him without letting go. He was distressed when he saw his lover’s appearance of being trapped by money, so after struggling for a while, he chose to deceive Lu Cheng. It took him a month to deceive Lu Cheng of a sum of money and he did not hesitate to accompany his lover to another planet to study art. The story was cliché, but Tang Yi Yuan became more and more spirited as he listened to it. He neatly cleaned up his decadent self, put on new clothes, and changed his hairstyle. Everything was in order. He smiled satisfactorily in the mirror and then went to Lu Cheng with great energy…. for a drink. Tang Yi Yuan felt that wine could comfort a brokenhearted person and it was also enough to draw in the relationship between the two. Lu Cheng opened the door and when he saw Tang Yi Yuan, he couldn’t help but glared at him. He thought that this nemesis was coming to see his joke and he was about to kick Tang Yi Yuan out with a frown. He didn’t expect Tang Yi Yuan to smile and shake the two bottles of red wine in his hand, “I came to accompany you to drink.” Lu Cheng didn’t like that Beta very much, he was just teasing him as a plaything, but the Beta previously rejected him repeatedly, which aroused his desire to conquer. There was also Tang Yi Yuan who was a strong rival, so he only chased more vigorously. The result was that such a plaything made him lose face, and everyone knew the news. Not sure how many people were laughing at him behind his back. He hadn’t seen anyone for a few days when he was irritable and now that someone came to drink with him, he was naturally happy. Although, the fact that the person who was drinking with him was his nemesis was slightly f*cked up. They drank red wine with a very low alcohol content. After two bottles of wine, neither of them got drunk. They only felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, and there was a sweet smell wandering in the air. Tang Yi Yuan didn’t realise that he was in estrus until he was pressed down by Lu Cheng, whose cheeks were flushed. Recently, because he was immersed in ‘lovelorn’, he was so sad that he forgot that the first estrus period in his life was coming, so he did not carry inhibitors around. The first estrus period was turbulent. The two of them were young and had never faced such a situation. They were induced by pheromones to hug each other tightly and became entangled in a ball. Tang Yi Yuan hugged Lu Cheng’s neck tightly, his eyes were misty, dependent and charming. Lu Cheng was still struggling to resist the influence of pheromones, but at this time he completely lost his mind and couldn’t help hugging the soft Omega into his embrace. …… Opening his eyes again, Tang Yi Yuan, who originally came this time just to get closer to Lu Cheng, was completely flustered. He couldn’t help but secretly squeeze the quilt and shed tears. He was worried that Lu Cheng would hate him and thought he did it on purpose, so he avoided him from then on. He imagined that scene, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became. He couldn’t stop his tears. When Lu Cheng woke up, Tang Yi Yuan had already wet the corner of the quilt with his crying. Lu Cheng was busy holding the person in his arms. Seeing how sad this nemesis, who was always fighting against him, was crying so sadly, Lu Cheng actually felt a pain in his heart that couldn’t be stopped, he just wanted to hold the person in his arms and pamper him. Being held in his arms by the person he likes and coaxing softly, Tang Yi Yuan couldn’t hold back and confessed directly. Lu Cheng was stunned, he never thought that Tang Yi Yuan would like him. It took him a long time to react. He looked down, Tang Yi Yuan’s cheeks were rosy and his body was pink. He originally thought Tang Yi Yuan was shy and he couldn’t help blushing shyly, and then the sweet smell filled the tip of his nose. It made him realise half a beat late that it was Tang Yi Yuan who had come up with another wave of heat, and the estrus period had not yet passed… And this time Lu Cheng was so excited that he accidentally marked the person. After the accidental estrus, Tang Yi Yuan was pregnant with a baby, which alarmed the Tang and Lu family members, and they naturally got married. The two rolled on the sheets when they were only eighteen and gave birth to a child when they were nineteen. Yuan Qiu still uses Tang Yi Yuan as a negative teaching material to educate the other six Omegas. Early love is not advisable! Now that four years have passed, Lu Cheng has actually forgotten about the past between them. He only remembers that he was with that Beta just now, and Tang Yi Yuan was his abominable nemesis! When he woke up and learned that he and Tang Yi Yuan were married, his first reaction was refusing to believe it. The first thing he did after he was discharged from the hospital was to divorce Tang Yi Yuan. Tang Yi Yuan found it hard to say. He can’t possibly say that we accidentally did it back then, then I confessed to you, and then you accidentally marked me. We have a cub, so we should be together. Every time he thinks of himself who confessed first, his cheeks turn red, this time he definitely doesn’t want to confess again!
