After A Secret Marriage Agreement With A Rival Omega - Chapter 22
Chapter 22
◎Wash your hands clean.◎
That night, after hanging up the phone, Sheng Ruxi’s head ached with anger.
Xie Ruizhang, that Alpha bitch.
What do you mean, “You even hate Sheng Ruxi, so why can’t you like me?”
Are these two questions necessarily related? Are these Alphas’ brains just not normal?
She talked so sanctimoniously about wanting to get into bed with someone.
After hanging up, Sheng Ruxi was too angry to sleep.
She was already in Xicheng, staying an extra night to get used to the local environment.
Of course, she was staying in a five-star suite. Tuanzi, her personal assistant, came with her. Zhou Mei had tried to talk her out of it before she left. What if you just gave up?
Give up? How could she give up?
The thought of Jian Jixing also wanting her to give up the travel experience only fueled Sheng Ruxi’s rebellious spirit.
That afternoon, after she attended the event in her dark dress, the online discussion never stopped.
The Shanmi side had thought she was going to break the contract. When they found out she was still going, they were so grateful and scheduled a formal announcement with the company in two days.
Today, Sheng Ruxi had once again sacrificed her beauty sleep. After she hung up, she thought Jian Jixing would say a few more words to explain herself, but there was not a single word from her.
Does she think this method will make me care? That’s impossible.
Staying up late for a woman was a very irrational thing to do, especially when that person was just her nemesis.
But for herself, it was different. Sheng Ruxi thought. She just wanted to see what the noisy netizens had to say now.
[First-Hand Entertainment News: [Image] [Image] Has anyone seen the comparison between Sheng Ruxi’s expression before and after meeting Director Jian? Haha, they are on such bad terms. She probably won’t go to the Peach Blossom Express shoot. Has her studio given a definite answer yet?]
The photos were perfectly chosen. The first one was Sheng Ruxi wearing the custom-made dress Jian Jixing had given her, looking proud and bright. The second one was her in all black from this afternoon, looking cold and aloof.
Putting the two pictures together made the contrast very obvious.
[[Image] Oh, look at our baby Xixi’s forced smile at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Studio, didn’t you do a background check beforehand? You knew they were on bad terms and still put them together. It’s not like you need this kind of publicity!]
Sheng Ruxi was a silent observer, thinking to herself: It wasn’t a forced smile. It was because she was a little unfulfilled that morning, so she had to use another expression to cover it up. If anything, it was a perfunctory smile.
[@Zhou Mei, Sister Mei, what were you thinking? /crying. The Peach Blossom Express was a secretly negotiated deal. What are we going to do now? Our little Sheng can’t go and suffer. Who doesn’t know that Director Jian is an absolute tyrant when she’s filming? Let someone else go and suffer through that instead [sweating face]
Sheng Ruxi: Jian Jixing isn’t at her most tyrannical when she’s filming, is she? Hehe, you still have a lot to learn.
[It’s because our baby Xixi has such a high profile. No one else can get the routes she’s taking. I heard that Meng Zhao, Fang Le, and Song Wan Hui are all talking to the higher-ups at Starfire. They are all Omega actresses who are going after Director Jian.]
Sheng Ruxi poked the screen a few times: Bring them all. Come to the Omega concentration camp and let Jian Jixing completely disenchant you. Ha!
Of course, there were also some very annoying comments.
[Doesn’t everyone know this has a charity element? Last year, Zheng Ruohan made it to the New Year’s Eve gala with a similar show and became a top-tier star, even though she was previously criticized for her bad conduct. Now everyone wants to follow this path. Can a delicate princess like Sheng Ruxi really settle down and do charity work? She’ll probably just say goodnight and go stay in a hotel. Who can’t pretend? It’s a miracle if she can stick it out. She might as well back out early.]
[The movie queen deigns to experience life. I’ll admit defeat if she lasts for three days, not to mention with Jian Jixing there, hahahaha. Everyone knows what kind of person Director Jian is. She’s used to extreme sports. When she’s traveling, it’s like she’s going to war. Can Sheng Ruxi handle that?]
Sheng Ruxi: Don’t underestimate me. When has Jian Jixing ever won against me?
She almost used her main account to post a comment.
Oh—extreme sports?
She has too much life to spare. She likes extreme sports so much, Sheng Ruxi thought to herself.
She remembered. When Xie Ruizhang said she knew Jian Jixing well, she mentioned that she had seen Jian Jixing’s rock climbing videos.
The Shanmi line of the Peach Blossom Express was supposed to start recording the day after tomorrow. She had come early.
Jian Jixing came a day earlier than her, which meant she didn’t want to spend an extra day with her. Sheng Ruxi scoffed, as if she thought anyone wanted to be with her.
She just wanted to get the job done. The more people who didn’t want her to do this job, the more she wanted to do it.
In a way, Sheng Ruxi was a stubborn person, no matter what or who she was dealing with.
Sheng Ruxi just didn’t believe it.
If Jian Jixing could handle it, why couldn’t she?
Since Jian Jixing was going to be there, she could justifiably order her around. What did she have to worry about? The more difficult the conditions were, the more Jian Jixing would have to create good conditions for her.
Otherwise, she would cause trouble for Jian Jixing, not letting her have pheromones to sniff, not letting her have an Omega to bite, and making Jian Jixing’s life a living hell.
For the first time, Sheng Ruxi felt that the title of “Alpha” suited Jian Jixing. It worked as long as it was useful.
Sheng Ruxi knew that Xie Ruizhang’s courtship would inevitably release pheromones. She wasn’t there to comfort Jian Jixing, so she deserved to suffer.
In the end, wouldn’t Jian Jixing have to come to her for help?
Sheng Ruxi was excited at this thought. After reading all the comments online, she didn’t want to sleep even more.
She really didn’t want to care about Jian Jixing, but she just couldn’t fall asleep. At 11:00 p.m., she angrily got up in the dark and turned on her phone.
—Why was Jian Jixing still silent?
Did she really sleep in the same bed with Xie Ruizhang, or was she suffering so much she was on the verge of death?
This thought tormented Sheng Ruxi. Her brain waves must have been picked up by big data because she happened to receive a list of symptoms and treatments for Alpha pheromone allergy. She took a look.
They were actually similar to the treatment methods for Omegas in need. Anything related to pheromones was essentially related to needs.
As long as the body’s needs were met, the pain and discomfort would naturally subside.
Does it really hurt that much? Sheng Ruxi called to find out, and for no other reason.
The call was answered very slowly. Sheng Ruxi’s mind was running wild. She thought if Xie Ruizhang answered the phone, she would turn all of Xicheng and Beijing upside down tonight.
Fortunately, Jian Jixing answered, but her tone didn’t sound like she had been woken up. She sounded very awake.
She didn’t expect Jian Jixing to actually video call her.
The knowledge she had just crammed into her brain rushed out. Sheng Ruxi couldn’t help but think, Jian Jixing is a mortal too.
When Jian Jixing’s video call came in, Sheng Ruxi even took a screenshot with great interest before answering.
It was a black screen on the other end.
“Where are you?” Sheng Ruxi even turned on her bedside lamp to answer the call, filling the room with warmth.
“You’re not sleeping in the middle of the night, and you’re back to your tormenting activities?” Jian Jixing’s voice sounded muffled, and she didn’t know where it was coming from. The other side paused, seeing the faint background behind Sheng Ruxi. “Where are you?”
Sheng Ruxi stared at the black screen, trying to make out something from the darkness. “The hotel, of course. You…”
Jian Jixing let out an “oh.” “Who are you spending the night with?”
Sheng Ruxi couldn’t help but get angry. She still had the audacity to joke around. “I’m not as good as you. You and Xie Ruizhang had a night of passion. I haven’t even started yet.”
The other side didn’t answer. There was a brief rustling sound, like the sound of fabric being crumpled. Sheng Ruxi keenly noticed that it was the sound of Jian Jixing’s hand touching her clothes.
It must hurt. Jian Jixing was rarely angry, so it couldn’t be that she was so mad she was wringing her clothes.
“Are you in pain or not?” Sheng Ruxi couldn’t help but ask. “Did Xie Ruizhang use her pheromones to anger you?”
In the silence of the night, a sigh of helplessness and long-suppressed patience entered Sheng Ruxi’s ears.
A sigh? Jian Jixing is sighing at me?
Sheng Ruxi leaned in closer to the camera. “You’re the one who video-called me. Now you don’t want to show any weakness. Do you even know how to ask for help?”
“…” Jian Jixing’s hand was pressed against her face. Her palm gently covered her mouth and nose.
This way, she could smell more of the scents that were about to disappear.
There was also a slight suffocating feeling, making her mind less clear. The pain gradually turned into a feeling of fullness and numbness.
She placed her phone by her side. Sheng Ruxi’s voice came through exceptionally clear, bringing a slight tingling sensation as if she were being electrocuted.
Whether it was scolding or being fierce, Jian Jixing didn’t want Sheng Ruxi to hang up now.
She even missed the silky touch of Sheng Ruxi holding her arm when she was pretending to have a good relationship with her mother at home.
But her voice was calm. “You don’t know how to teach people either.”
“Who are you looking down on?” Sheng Ruxi was indeed easily ignited. She took a deep breath and leaned closer to the camera.
Under the warm light, Sheng Ruxi’s skin was still so white it reflected light, acting as a perfect reflector in the camera. Because she was close, Sheng Ruxi could vaguely see that there was something covering Jian Jixing’s face.
“To relieve the discomfort, you need my pheromones now,” Sheng Ruxi said, not bringing up anything else. “Find something you’re not repulsed by to smell and see if it helps.”
“It’s already covered.”
“Turn on the light and show me. What is it?” Sheng Ruxi said. “Not just anything will work.”
Jian Jixing’s voice was flat, with a hint of resistance. “I don’t want to turn on the light. This is fine.”
“Then, do as I say.”
Jian Jixing: “If you don’t say it now, I’ll have to hang up in a moment.”
Sheng Ruxi was magnanimous and didn’t argue with her. “Do you have any no-rinse hand sanitizer or wipes? Wash your hands clean.”
“?” Jian Jixing didn’t know what Sheng Ruxi was trying to do. She did have those things on hand. After doing as she was told, she said, “So now I have to purify my hands just to be on a video call with you?”
Sheng Ruxi then said, “Now you’d better take off your pants.”
She didn’t need to tell her to cut her nails. She knew Jian Jixing’s nails weren’t long right now.
Jian Jixing suddenly understood something. “What do you mean?”
“That’s exactly what I mean,” Sheng Ruxi’s face felt hot, but luckily it didn’t show on the camera. “I’ll guide you with words. You do it yourself. That way, the pain will go away.”
Jian Jixing suspected this was a strange idea Sheng Ruxi came up with to get revenge on her. At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.
This didn’t seem like something Sheng Ruxi would do. Where did she learn this? Jian Jixing instinctively wanted to refuse, but as the thought came to her, the words had already come out. “Are you sure this will make me feel better?”
Jian Jixing knew that Sheng Ruxi couldn’t stand being questioned.
Sure enough, Sheng Ruxi’s angry voice came through. “If you don’t try it, you’ll be up all night.”
Jian Jixing silently curved her lips. She was afraid that once she started something, she wouldn’t be the one who couldn’t sleep.
Sheng Ruxi’s expression in the camera was overly gentle. She tucked her hair behind her ear. “Alright, let’s begin. Did you find something that smells good?”
“I found it.” It was currently on her face. Jian Jixing slowly closed her eyes, and Sheng Ruxi’s lively face immediately appeared in front of her.
“Now, your hand… go down, yes, there,” Sheng Ruxi was glad Jian Jixing hadn’t turned on the light. This was her first time doing this, and she didn’t know why she was so excited. “Did you feel it? How does it feel?”
“It doesn’t feel like anything. It’s boring.” Jian Jixing suddenly smiled. “Sheng Ruxi, that’s not how you teach.”
Her finger touched herself. There was no hesitation from the start to the destination. It was one smooth motion. Clean, dry, and tight, with no welcoming emotion.
It was just touching her own body, nothing different.
Sheng Ruxi seemed like a complete novice. It seemed no one had ever taught her.
Jian Jixing didn’t know why she was smiling. Maybe she found Sheng Ruxi a little cute right now.
This teacher was too unqualified. It was better for her to teach herself.
Just as she was about to speak, Jian Jixing suddenly heard her say:
“Don’t use your finger… use mine,” Sheng Ruxi said in a low voice. “From now on, it’s me touching you.”
These words seemed to have magic. Jian Jixing’s heart tingled. The stinging sensations all over her body paused for a moment. A certain swelling seemed to be waiting to be released. She swallowed with difficulty.
It was said that being flirtatious without knowing it was the most irresistible. Jian Jixing had never believed it, but now she sighed deeply in her heart—Sheng Ruxi, this little vixen, is she really a novice?
