After Transmigrating Into a Scummy Alpha, I Have Unlimited Krypton Gold - Chapter 28

“And she and Xue Cheng, because of her physical condition and her past experiences, were destined from the beginning to exist only as a dependent next to Xue Cheng.”

Xue Cheng gradually caught on, realizing that Liu Wuyuan was checking to see if she had been up to no good outside. Instead of feeling annoyed at the suspicion, she was secretly pleased by Liu Wuyuan’s sneaky little act. Didn’t this mean that Liu Wuyuan also had feelings for her? Why else would she be so possessive?

At that moment, the self-satisfied Xue Cheng didn’t know that one could be possessive even without love. People are like that. They can be possessive of a dog they raised, of a flower they picked with their own hands, and even of an old rag they’ve used so much it’s gone white. The mistake wasn’t being possessive, but misinterpreting that possessiveness as love.

Of course, that was a story for later. In the present, Xue Cheng felt truly happy.

Since coming to this world, Xue Cheng had often felt lost and lonely. Everything was unfamiliar. Besides Liu Wuyuan, there was no one she could call a friend. She had no friends, no family, and everything she was used to in her old life was completely gone.

So she poured most of her attention into Liu Wuyuan, connecting with this world through her. Xue Cheng even felt that she must have come to this world because of some fated bond between her and Liu Wuyuan. Perhaps it was a foolish thought, but at least it made her feel a lot better.

Her existence, her arrival, now had a reason.

Holding Liu Wuyuan, Xue Cheng quietly enjoyed the beauty of the moment. She thought, it would be nice to live in this world like this. Once she made more money with the system, she would take Liu Wuyuan to Xijing City to find a cure for her illness. Once Liu Wuyuan’s pheromone disease was cured, they could pick a city and live a simple, warm, and fulfilling life together.

After a while, Xue Cheng gently said, “Are you hungry? I’ll go cook.”

Liu Wuyuan shook her head. Though she was tired, she had no appetite. After inhaling the most sour and appetizing lime pheromones, it seemed nothing else could pique her interest.

Seeing her shake her head, Xue Cheng didn’t insist. She decided to cook later when Liu Wuyuan was hungry. It was nice just to enjoy this quiet moment.

But Liu Wuyuan clearly wanted more than just a simple hug. She broke free from Xue Cheng’s embrace, raised her arms around her neck, and looked at her face to face.

Xue Cheng’s eyes crinkled in a smile as she asked, “What’s wrong?” She felt like Liu Wuyuan had suddenly become a clingy little rabbit. She had always liked those fluffy, soft, cute creatures—quiet, gentle, and very pretty. The more she thought about it, the more Liu Wuyuan seemed like a fluffy, floppy-eared rabbit. She couldn’t help but reach out to stroke her “ears.” Liu Wuyuan saw the mischievous look on her face and her eyes filled with confusion.

It wasn’t until Xue Cheng’s hands landed on her head and started stroking her hair that she realized Xue Cheng was lost in some random thought. But it didn’t matter. They both had their own plans. Liu Wuyuan leaned up slightly and planted a soft, wet kiss on the corner of Xue Cheng’s mouth, which took Xue Cheng by surprise.

Then, before Xue Cheng could react, she reached up and started kneading and rubbing the scent gland on her nape through the suppression patch. With a soft groan, Xue Cheng went limp and fell back onto the bed.

Liu Wuyuan easily tore off the suppression patch and then crawled on top of Xue Cheng to inhale her favorite lime scent. Xue Cheng was now like a giant air freshener. Someone had pushed her button, and she couldn’t stop leaking sweet and sour lime pheromones.

Perhaps it was because they had already used so much during their bonding the night before, or because she had already been drained once that morning. After only a little bit of kneading and squeezing from Liu Wuyuan, the already-deflated scent gland went completely limp, and the lime scent faded.

Liu Wuyuan was clearly not satisfied. This made the innocent Alpha feel a little embarrassed, as if there were five words floating in the air: “Xue Cheng, you’re no good.”

Xue Cheng blushed with shame, thinking, I should have asked Miss Zhu for some medicine earlier. At least then I would have enough pheromones to satisfy my wife.

The pure-hearted Alpha, who was upset that his pheromones were not enough to satisfy his loved one, was on the verge of tears. From the lime scent wafting around her, Liu Wuyuan could sense more sadness. She lifted her head to look at Xue Cheng. She saw the person she had been “bothering” was biting her lower lip, a look of profound heartbreak on her face. But that pitiful look, combined with the tears in her eyes from the stimulation of her scent gland and the flush on her cheeks, made her look incredibly tempting.

Liu Wuyuan thought she must be crazy. She had the sudden urge to lock Xue Cheng away forever. She just wanted to keep this beautiful Alpha at home, all to herself. Liu Wuyuan felt like she would go insane if anyone else ever saw Xue Cheng like this. She lowered her gaze and buried her face in Xue Cheng’s neck, so the innocent and pure Alpha wouldn’t see the possessive obsession in her eyes.

Their minds were on completely different pages, yet they were in perfect sync with their silence. One was filled with regret that she hadn’t gotten medicine to save her masculinity, and the other was trying to figure out a way to keep Xue Cheng’s captivating appearance for herself without hurting her feelings. They remained silent through dinner and their separate showers.

Xue Cheng felt so embarrassed about what had happened today that she couldn’t bring herself to speak. Liu Wuyuan, on the other hand, was worried that her dark thoughts might scare away the sweet Alpha. So they both stayed quiet.

Usually, Liu Wuyuan would bathe first, and Xue Cheng would bathe last and clean up. Today, just like before, Xue Cheng finished bathing, cleaned the tub, and hung up her clothes to dry. As she took off her clothes, she caught a whiff of her own sweet and sour lime scent on them. Her face flushed, and she cursed herself for being so weak.

Before returning to her room, Xue Cheng glanced at Liu Wuyuan’s door. It was closed, and there was no light inside. Had she gone to bed early because she was so tired today? A knot of emotion formed in Xue Cheng’s chest. She wanted to say something, do something, but she felt powerless. With a sigh, she turned and went back to her own room. Her mind was so occupied that she didn’t notice anything different. She closed the door, blew out the candle, and walked to her bed by moonlight. She sat down, took off her shoes and socks, lifted the blanket, and lay down.

But the moment she lay down, Xue Cheng knew something was off. A small, silent beauty who had just bathed had somehow snuck into her bed.

Holding the soft, fragrant person was so comfortable. Xue Cheng instinctively reached up and touched the damp ends of Liu Wuyuan’s hair, worried that she would get a headache if she slept like that all night. She got up to get a towel to dry Liu Wuyuan’s hair, but Liu Wuyuan grabbed her sleeve, not letting her go.

In the moonlight, she could see the confusion in Liu Wuyuan’s eyes. So she explained, “I’m going to get a towel to dry your hair. You’ll get sick if you sleep like this.” The moon was very bright in ancient times, unlike in the modern world where bright lights and pollution made the night sky foggy. Xue Cheng didn’t know how long it had been since she had seen such a beautiful starry night.

The cool, pale moonlight shone on the beauty’s equally pale skin. Xue Cheng’s eyes unconsciously followed the line of her graceful neck. The loose collar couldn’t hide the view beneath. Xue Cheng didn’t dare to look too long. Her mouth felt dry. On her way to get the towel, she stopped for a glass of cold water to calm her nerves.

Liu Wuyuan lay on the bed, waiting for Xue Cheng to return with a towel to dry her hair. They had only been together for a little over two months, but she felt as if this gentle and considerate Alpha had already spoiled her. Her relaxed and comfortable posture showed that she had no defenses left against Xue Cheng. This made Xue Cheng’s heart melt. She loved seeing Liu Wuyuan so relaxed. It proved that all her efforts hadn’t been in vain. The “not so good” little Alpha thought to herself that she would have to work even harder in the future.

As she dried Liu Wuyuan’s hair, she talked about the situation at the shop. Xue Cheng had realized that Liu Wuyuan was truly gifted at business. Besides, she wasn’t a traditional or old-fashioned Alpha who believed Omegas should only stay at home and raise children. Liu Wuyuan had talent, and Xue Cheng was willing to support her in anything she wanted to do. She hadn’t handed over the shop’s management to Liu Wuyuan yet because she had just received the business from the grandmother and didn’t have the authority to transfer control. But in the future, if they opened their own shop, Xue Cheng was confident that Liu Wuyuan would manage it exceptionally well.

Liu Wuyuan listened as Xue Cheng recounted her day, the specific situation at the shop, the problems she had encountered, and humbly asked for her advice on how to solve them. She truly felt she had met a very, very good person. At times, she felt unworthy of such a kind and excellent Xue Cheng.

Liu Wuyuan knew she wasn’t the pure and innocent person Xue Cheng thought she was. Xue Cheng often saw her as a fragile little white flower because of her illness and her gender. This was a huge misunderstanding, Liu Wuyuan thought. She wasn’t a pathetic little white flower with no ulterior motives. She was a black-hearted Venus flytrap, ready to devour the foolish little Alpha at any moment. And yet, this little Alpha was so foolishly pouring her heart out to her and making plans for her.

This kind of Alpha made Liu Wuyuan feel a deep affection, but she couldn’t pinpoint her exact feelings for Xue Cheng. She admitted she was attracted to her, but that attraction was mixed with a lot of other things. Her relationship with Xue Cheng was complicated, and she couldn’t see their feelings in a simple way.

Liu Wuyuan always felt that for a relationship to be healthy, both parties had to be equal. But she and Xue Cheng, because of her health and background, were destined from the beginning to exist as a dependent in Xue Cheng’s life. This wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair to her or to Xue Cheng. No one should be responsible for someone else’s life. Even if Xue Cheng loved her, she shouldn’t pour everything into her. And Liu Wuyuan didn’t see herself as a useless person with no abilities. She hoped that one day, when she could leave Xue Cheng’s side, she could face her as an independent and complete person. Perhaps then, they would be more suited to talk about their feelings.

This was also why she had left the house early after their intimacy. She was afraid of waking up in Xue Cheng’s arms and seeing that gentle, loving look in her eyes, followed by the eager confession she knew was coming. Because she couldn’t return those feelings. She knew she didn’t love Xue Cheng.
