A Delicate Beauty Holding a Villain’s Script - Chapter 16

Their intimacy didn’t last long before a rapid knocking sounded at the door.

Shen Yiqing suppressed the tyrannical rage that flared up at being interrupted. As if he had long expected this, he leaned down and pressed a kiss onto the Alpha’s head. “Little Li, I have to go for a bit. Be good. stay here and don’t go out, okay?”

“Got it…”

The voice was sticky, like melted candy, sweet and soft.

A surge of extreme sweetness and reluctance welled up in Shen Yiqing’s heart. He cupped the other’s flushed, tender face and kissed the cheeks repeatedly, as if kneading dough.

He kept kissing until Li Rangnian got annoyed and slapped him across the face, impatiently telling him to leave quickly.

“Alright, I’m going, I won’t bother you anymore.” Shen Yiqing wasn’t angry, nor did his face feel painful. He smiled and pressed a kiss onto the palm that had turned slightly red from slapping him, then quickly fled the scene before the beauty could react.

“…” Li Rangnian was dumbfounded. No thanks honestly, I’m shocked by how thick-skinned the protagonist Omega is.

Waiting for the Omega who changed his expression the moment he stepped out the door were dark gun barrels. However, he remained unfazed, smiling as he raised both hands to signal his cooperation. “Let’s go. Take me to see him.”

Li Rangnian had no idea how the protagonist Alpha and Omega were currently trading barbs and clashing in the interrogation room. Having just marked an Omega, his teeth were still itchy; he had a strong urge to bite something.

He searched for the gradually dissipating scent, burrowed into the quilt, and stopped moving, leaving a small mound on the bed.

051, having finished reporting the situation, also burrowed in. It pressed against the slender waist revealed by his shifting clothes; the skin was as smooth as a peeled egg, carrying a warm heat.

[Hehehehe, I love this so much, hehehe…]

Feeling the tingling sensation at his waist, Li Rangnian involuntarily shuddered, nearly laughing out loud.

051 let out a strange giggle, but in the next second, it was caught by a hand and lifted up. Li Rangnian pinched the small ball of light with two fingers and brought it close to his face. His rounded pupils involuntarily constricted under the bright light, making him look very much like a feline.

[…] 051 faced this critical hit of beauty head-on and suddenly short-circuited, falling silent for several seconds.

“You dare to sneak up on me? Hmm?” Li Rangnian pressed it into his palm and rubbed it with both hands. His soft palms rubbed against each other, dazing 051 into a stupor: [Host-dada, hehehehe…]

Once Li Rangnian had squeezed it enough, he let go and asked, “How is it? What did the Main System say?”

051 lingeringly rubbed against his pale fingertips. [It’s been cleared up! It was indeed a bug in the protagonist Alpha and Omega that caused the plot to advance prematurely. However, it won’t have a major impact on our mission. We just need to ensure the ending remains unchanged!]

“The ending remains unchanged? That’s easy.” In the original plot, Qin Yuan and Shen Yiqing clarify their feelings, the two families join forces to repel the Xenomorphs, and they become heroes of the Federation while he is imprisoned in the Interstellar Prison for treason, eventually dying of depression.

However, due to Li Rangnian’s personal involvement, it was now impossible for the protagonist Alpha and Omega to have a “Happily Ever After.”

But! This wouldn’t stump a clever cat. “Heart-to-heart” could simply be replaced by “mutual hatred” changing the method would still count as completing the task.

Li Rangnian lay there for a while. The deep and shallow marks on his body began to feel hot and itchy at this moment, causing him to tremble. He was forced to kneel on the bed, trying his best to avoid contact with the quilt.

“Wait, this feels… so strange…” His waist, which was already too narrow to be grasped, arched into a graceful curve. His posture was fragile, his insteps taut, and his toes curled tightly, flushing a pale pink.

Influenced by the Omega’s residual pheromones. The thought flashed by.

The “duck sit” posture made his rounded curves appear even fuller. Li Rangnian’s center of gravity was unstable; his body swayed for a while, nearly collapsing, and he only managed to sit properly by bracing himself with his arms.

His mind was a blank void. He only wanted to hold onto something even something ice-cold to soothe that inexplicable craving.

His eyes were vacant, a few tears spilling from the corners. His small mouth opened slightly, revealing the tip of his crimson tongue.

A mist rose in his eyes, hazy like looking at flowers through a fog; his expression was innocent yet carried a touch of temptation.

His collapsed posture made him look like a delicate flower ravaged by a rainstorm—pitiful and very suitable for being grasped by a single hand, like the wind pressing against a flower stem until there was not a single gap left.

Spring was in full bloom; the garden was filled with fragrance.

There was another knock at the door hesitant, lingering. Li Rangnian’s brain was in a muddle. His hands and feet were weak, and he had to force himself to crawl up and open the door.

After returning to his room, the boy from earlier had thought about it for a long time. His heart felt as itchy as if it were being scratched by a cat’s paw. Finally, he plucked up the courage to come find him.

We’re all Alphas, what’s wrong with making a friend! I won’t retreat just because of that Omega’s glare!

He paced outside the door, waiting anxiously, his heart filled with an expectation he couldn’t quite describe.

Once they met, he’d add him as a contact, and then… the door opened. The beauty fell forward toward him. He moved quickly to catch him, and was immediately hit in the face by a wave of sweet-and-sour pheromones.

With a waist that could be grasped with one hand, it was easy to pull the person into his arms. The head rested weakly on his shoulder, and warm breath puffed against his neck.

Li Rangnian smelled the Alpha’s aura and instinctively felt repelled, muttering: “Go away! I don’t want you… Shen Yiqing…”

He currently needed the soothing of an Omega’s pheromones.

The boy’s eyes went glazed. In his vision, he could only see the beauty’s face as flushed as peach blossoms the tear-filled eyes, and the fleeting glimpse of a tongue hidden behind pearly teeth.

Gulp…

He couldn’t help but swallow. His throat was dry, and his words became stuttered. “You, are you okay? I’ll help you inside…”

That bit of pushing force was negligible. He subconsciously gripped the beauty’s arm, and the hand clutching the waist rubbed it a few times. He couldn’t help but marvel: Damn, it’s really so thin!

But before he could make another move, he heard a furious roar: “Let go of him!”

Li Rangnian only heard a dull thud, like the sound of a fist hitting meat.

The grip holding him suddenly loosened. He began to fall, but was pulled up and yanked into an embrace just before hitting the ground.

“Little Li! How are you? Why is your face so red!”

A handsome face called out anxiously before him, but Li Rangnian finally sank into a deep sleep, only having time to think Wait, was that Xiao Jinyun?

Infirmary.

After the examination, the doctor spoke to the Alpha standing guard: “Within three days of an Alpha-Omega’s first marking, they must stay by each other’s side for soothing. Otherwise, it will cause emotional agitation, pseudo-estrus, and other phenomena. In severe cases, it can even lead to gland damage.”

“He’s fine. He just needs an injection. Keep an eye on him; press the call button when the IV is almost finished.” After finishing his instructions, the doctor left to attend to other matters.

Xiao Jinyun sat on a small stool, his tall frame squeezed awkwardly into the narrow cubicle, looking exceptionally comical.

The person on the bed slept peacefully. The redness on his cheeks had faded, revealing his original fair skin, though his lips remained an abnormal red.

His slender, elegant hands were laid flat at his sides. A needle was inserted into the back of one hand; the IV drip fell drop by drop, the transparent liquid flowing slowly down the tube.

It’s only been a few days… has Little Li already developed to the point of marking someone else?

Xiao Jinyun didn’t know how long he had been waiting. His heart felt bitter, the lingering thoughts he had for the beauty being suppressed by sourness. His expression was dejected; his raised hand hovered in the air for a long time before he finally only dared to let it rest on the bedsheet.

The eyelashes of the person lying there flickered, and he soon opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling with a look of utter despair.

To actually… because I didn’t receive an Omega’s soothing in time… This is too embarrassing. I really want to find a hole to crawl into.

“Little Li, you’re awake. Do you want some water?” Xiao Jinyun forced a smile, watching the other’s expression closely.

Hearing the voice, Li Rangnian turned his head. His peach-blossom eyes were sparkling, inexplicably reminding Xiao Jinyun of a small animal staring longingly at food: “I want warm water.”

“…Okay, right away.” Xiao Jinyun heard his own voice and felt annoyed at his constant defeat whenever he was charmed, yet his body honestly got up to get a cup of warm water from the hallway.

His broad palm held the small cup. His free hand trembled as it lifted the beauty’s small chin. He shook for a long time before he could slowly feed the water in bit by bit.

The sound of swallowing echoed in the quiet cubicle. Xiao Jinyun’s gaze involuntarily landed on the other’s lips they were already full, but now they were stained with a layer of water, glistening brightly.

After drinking the water, Li Rangnian lay back down. He lay on his side, resting the hand with the IV on the bed, attempting to get information out of the Alpha: “How is Shen Yiqing?”

Xiao Jinyun could bet his expression chilled instantly, but he still blurted out everything he knew:

“The school received Shen Yiqing’s distress signal, claiming that Xenomorphs had appeared in the Black Mist Forest.”

When the soldiers reached the reported location, they saw only a bloodbath. They simply took all the corpses away for slicing and research. Shen Yiqing’s report was accurate, but the cause of death for several students is still under investigation.

As for Qin Yuan, he was identified by Shen Yiqing as having been present at every scene. He also seemingly got into a dispute with people from the black market and killed two of them, so he was detained immediately.

“It’s said that at the time, Qin Yuan gave a cold laugh and threw a punch without a word. The two of them fought back and forth; the soldiers couldn’t even pull them apart.”

Oho, how exciting. Li Rangnian listened heartlessly, his eyes lighting up as he urged: “Keep going!”

Xiao Jinyun’s chest felt tight, and his voice dropped. “Because the location was in a camera blind spot, no useful evidence was recorded. The two can only be kept in temporary confinement.”

The Qin and Shen families received the news and immediately sent people to negotiate. Under the heavy pressure of the two powers, the school temporarily released them. However, both must comply with the school’s summons; once there is a result, they must appear.

The samples sent to the Prevention and Control Center were quickly tested. The students had lost their vital signs before being pierced by sharp objects Xenomorph larvae can actually control the human central nervous system in a short amount of time!

This news caused a sensation in the Academy. In comparison, the deaths of the two strangers seemed less important. Ultimately, the school closed the case as those two killing each other.

The Academy ordered all students to keep quiet and not leak the news or face expulsion. Simultaneously, they immediately reported to the military to launch a new round of strategic plans against the Xenomorphs.

After a night of chaos, the first light of dawn appeared.

An Alpha with several new bruises at the corners of his mouth stayed in his room. His long legs kicked the floor, and his swivel chair slid several meters away. He rested his chin on one hand, his sword-like brows furrowed as he pondered.

“Eldest Young Master, the Head of the Family has instructed me to inform you that you are to return to the main house once matters are settled.” A kind-faced old butler stood at the door and spoke.

Stated nicely, but isn’t it just a summons to answer for my actions? Qin Yuan’s expression didn’t even change: “Understood.”

He suddenly remembered the optical computer he had picked up, took it out, and tossed it to the other. “Find someone to unlock this thing. See what information is inside.”

“Yes, Eldest Young Master.” The butler bowed to the man in the swivel chair and withdrew with a group of guards.

Qin Yuan spun enough before stopping. He straightened his clothes, originally intending to go straight to Little Li, but once he saw the reflection of his face in the glass, his whole mood soured.

That scheming dog he intentionally aimed for my face! But he hadn’t let Shen Yiqing off easy either; those few punches were enough to keep him in pain for a while.

This way, neither of us can see Little Li.
