From Trashy A to the Heiress’s Little Son-in-Law After the Idol Competition (GL, ABO) - Chapter 110

The night was stormy outside, a sign that summer was approaching with its relentless downpours.

The dormitory lights were about to go out, and all four roommates had climbed into bed, ready to sleep.

But Xiao Yanjin couldn’t fall asleep. Cold sweat drenched her, her head spun, and her mental state was utterly drained.

She knew, her rut had arrived.

For the past few months, her rut had been absent, and even Ji Mian couldn’t figure out why. Yet now, of all times, it had suddenly erupted.

Xiao Yanjin clutched her forehead, slick with sweat, her pajamas nearly soaked through.

Tang Qing turned off her phone and got out of bed to use the bathroom before sleeping. As she finished, a milky, sweet scent filled the air.

The source? Xiao Yanjin’s bed.

Curious, Tang Qing climbed onto Xiao Yanjin’s bed, where the scent grew even stronger.

“Xiao Yanjin,” she asked, puzzled, “what are you doing? Boiling milk? Or using some milky body lotion? Why does it smell so strong?”

But in the dim light, she couldn’t see what Xiao Yanjin was doing. Instead, Xiao Yanjin was curled under the blanket, trembling slightly.

Concerned, Tang Qing yanked the blanket away and the milky scent burst out, flooding her senses. A tightness coiled in her chest.

The fragrance surged into her mind, urging her to act.

Xiao Yanjin, terrified of being discovered, snatched the blanket back and wrapped herself tightly.

Tang Qing, however, reacted differently, she pulled Xiao Yanjin into an embrace, laughing. “Why do you smell like milk? It’s strong, but… weirdly comforting.”

Xiao Yanjin shook her head fearfully. “Y-you must be imagining it.”

“How could I imagine this?” Tang Qing leaned in, nuzzling her neck gently.

“Stop… please…”

The closer Tang Qing got, the harder it became for Xiao Yanjin to control herself.

In her original world, an alpha in rut needed an omega’s pheromones to soothe them. But here, there were no omegas and no suppressants. The last thing she needed was to be teased like this.

If she lost control, the consequences would be,

“Don’t… don’t do this…” Xiao Yanjin pleaded helplessly, like a bullied kitten.

But Tang Qing, intoxicated by the scent, wasn’t listening, she couldn’t even control herself.

All she knew was that Xiao Yanjin looked so pitiful, so fragile, so irresistibly sweet, she just wanted to cherish her.

Tang Qing grinned. “It’s been a while since we’ve slept together, hasn’t it?”

That shattered Xiao Yanjin completely. She refused to let go of the blanket, but Tang Qing kept tugging at her, their struggle making the bed creak loudly.

The noise caught the attention of their other two roommates.

Mo Ranran lifted the curtain. “Why does it smell so strongly of milk? And why is it coming from Yanjin’s bed?”

Ji Yunzhi only saw the shaking bed and heard Xiao Yanjin’s pitiful whimpers: “Please… don’t touch me…”

The two exchanged glances before quickly climbing down and knocking on Xiao Yanjin’s bed.

The noise stopped abruptly, and no one spoke.

Instead, Xiao Yanjin’s pajamas were flung out from under the covers.

Ji Yunzhi’s mind went blank. She scrambled onto the bed, only to find Tang Qing burrowed under the blanket with Xiao Yanjin, holding her tightly with a satisfied smile.

Seeing the confusion on Ji Yunzhi’s face, Xiao Yanjin suddenly closed her eyes and let out a piercing scream.

“Ahhh!”

In the end, the commotion only stopped when Xiao Yanjin was rushed to the hospital due to a sudden fever.

Yet whether in the car transporting her or along the hospital corridors, Xiao Yanjin’s milky fragrance lingered everywhere.

The three of them couldn’t understand why her milky scent was so overpowering.

As they waited in the hallway for Xiao Yanjin to emerge, Ji Yunzhi crossed her arms, glaring icily at Tang Qing.

Tang Qing appeared indifferent, though she too was deeply concerned about Xiao Yanjin’s condition.

Only when Ji Yunzhi’s frosty gaze grew unbearable did Tang Qing finally smile and say, “I admit, I do have some feelings for Xiao Yanjin.”

At this, Mo Ranran stared at her in disbelief.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m saying I like Xiao Yanjin,” Tang Qing shrugged, deliberately addressing Ji Yunzhi, “So don’t try to compete with me.”

“Oh? And does she like you back?” Ji Yunzhi countered.

Tang Qing met her gaze: “How do you know she doesn’t? When I was on her bed earlier, she didn’t seem to reject me.”

Ji Yunzhi clenched her fists. She’d never been one for socializing, especially not with spoiled rich girls like Tang Qing. Yet Xiao Yanjin was the exception her personality made their months working together surprisingly comfortable.

If Xiao Yanjin ended up with this woman, Ji Yunzhi knew she’d grow to resent them both.

“No! You can’t be with Xiao Yanjin!” The usually gentle Mo Ranran suddenly shouted, stunning Tang Qing.

Pointing at herself, Mo Ranran declared, “Yanjin and I grew up together. I know exactly what kind of person she likes.”

“Really? Then what kind is that? She told me she’s never been in a relationship,” Tang Qing retorted, arms crossed.

Mo Ranran hesitated but stood firm: “She likes someone like me!”

Silence fell until footsteps approached.

Ji Mian chuckled, “You must be Yanjin’s roommates?”

Ji Yunzhi reacted first: “And you are…?”

“Her older sister,” Ji Mian smiled. “How is she?”

“The fever isn’t serious, but doctors can’t explain why her milky scent won’t fade,” Mo Ranran answered after glaring at Tang Qing.

She knew Ji Mian too by rights, she should be Xiao Yanjin’s closest friend.

Ji Mian froze. Could that milky scent be… Xiao Yanjin’s pheromones?

Due to this peculiar condition, Xiao Yanjin had to remain under observation. Ji Mian barely managed to keep the three eager visitors outside before entering alone.

Her first words shocked Xiao Yanjin: “Good news your three beautiful roommates all seem to like you.”

Xiao Yanjin’s eyes widened. What?!?!

In her original world, she’d been an arrogant heiress whom no one liked except gold-diggers. Yet here, three roommates had taken interest in her.

Heart sinking, Xiao Yanjin touched her face: “Is it because the original owner was pretty?”

After a long appraisal, Ji Mian finally laughed: “Maybe partly. But your personality probably won them over too.”

“But what are the odds that all three girls would be into women?!” Xiao Yanjin cried out in frustration.

Ji Mian shrugged. “Maybe you’re just lucky. So, which of the three girls do you like?”

Xiao Yanjin glared at her fiercely. “I don’t like any of them.”

If she had to choose one, she actually quite enjoyed spending time with Ji Yunzhi.

The reason, she reminded her of Ji Yunuo from her original world.

Although she didn’t like Ji Yunuo, upon reflection, she wondered how strange it would be for someone as noble as Ji Yunuo to fall in love. Or perhaps the person who won her heart would feel incredibly proud?

But her fondness for Ji Yunzhi didn’t seem to stem from Ji Yunuo at all.

At this moment, Xiao Yanjin hadn’t yet realized the real reason her mind was deeply imprinted with the memories of the original host’s past interactions with Ji Yunzhi.

The two had been the first to arrive at the dorm. The original host had eagerly tried to introduce herself, but Ji Yunzhi had merely responded indifferently, focusing on her own tasks. After a long while, no other roommates showed up.

Then, the original host heard Ji Yunzhi speak beside her: “Would you like some candy?”

A fair hand held out what looked like an expensive piece of candy. The original host smiled and accepted it, chewing happily as she said, “It’s so sweet.”

From then on, Ji Yunzhi always went to and from classes alone, though the original host seemed eager to be around her, often following her closely.

“Yunzhi, what would you like to eat?”

“Yunzhi, can we sit here?”

Yet Ji Yunzhi remained aloof, like an untouchable goddess, the idol of every boy in their class.

But this proud girl still showed concern when the original host seemed unwell, lending her notes when she missed class, and even stepping in when she saw Tang Qing bullying her.

Unfortunately, the original host was soon taken away by Tang Qing.

Ji Yunzhi pretended not to care, but in truth, she kept a close eye on the original host.

Whenever the original host faced any difficulty, she was always the first to help.

The more Xiao Yanjin thought about it, the faster her heart raced.

In the original host’s memories, Ji Yunzhi was like this, a girl with undeniable charm, just like Ji Yunuo, exactly her type.

Lost in thought, Xiao Yanjin’s face flushed inexplicably.

That day, her sensitive period finally passed, and once the milky scent had completely faded, she was discharged from the hospital.

Tang Qing took great care of Xiao Yanjin and planned to confess her feelings soon.

“Yanjin, how do you feel about girls?” One day, Tang Qing mustered the courage to ask if Xiao Yanjin liked women.

Xiao Yanjin froze, then quickly shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Ji Yunzhi overheard this but remained silent, lowering her head to read.

A month later, Xiao Yanjin and Ji Yunzhi were assigned to fetch some books from the storage room. Unexpectedly, Ji Yunzhi lost her balance while reaching for a book on a high shelf.

“Careful.” Xiao Yanjin immediately caught her, offering a reassuring smile. “Good thing I held onto you.”

At that moment, Ji Yunzhi still clung tightly to her arm, their bodies pressed close together.

It was the first time they had been this close. The girl’s fragrance overwhelmed her own scent, sending a sudden tremor through Xiao Yanjin’s heart.

“Yanjin, when you had a fever last time… what were you and Tang Qing doing?” Ji Yunzhi didn’t let go. Instead, her tone mirrored Tang Qing’s earlier question—hesitant, almost shy.

Xiao Yanjin felt a stir in her heart as she met those shimmering eyes. “I… Tang Qing didn’t do anything with me. She just crawled into my bed and hugged me.”

It was true that Tang Qing had slipped under the covers, and it was also absolutely true that she had embraced Xiao Yanjin. Xiao Yanjin wasn’t lying, but Ji Yunzhi still assumed there was something ambiguous between them. The thought of Tang Qing and Mo Ranran openly admitting their feelings for Xiao Yanjin in the hospital made her unhappy.

Xiao Yanjin tugged at her sleeve. “Why are you asking this?”

Ji Yunzhi frowned. “Never mind. Are we going to the library later?”

Xiao Yanjin, who hated reading, shook her head quickly. “What’s the point of the library? Let’s just go to the food street instead.”

Ji Yunzhi’s eyes dimmed slightly as she replied flatly, “You don’t like reading anymore.”

Perhaps growing impatient, Tang Qing soon confessed to Xiao Yanjin on the rooftop.

Xiao Yanjin fled in panic. When Mo Ranran heard about it, she also confessed with a hint of emotional manipulation leaving Xiao Yanjin utterly stunned.

Frantically, she called Ji Mian for advice.

Ji Mian told her not to panic and simply say she didn’t like girls.

Then, Ji Mian invited her out to eat.

“Long time no see.” Though others saw them as sisters, their interactions were oddly formal.

“There’s actually something I want to tell you.”

“Go ahead.”

Ji Mian then smiled.

“Silly, I don’t think you’re capable of liking anyone.”

Xiao Yanjin’s heart skipped a beat. “Why do you say that?”

“It’s obvious. You’re clueless about emotions. Honestly, you don’t really form deep feelings for anyone, probably because of your upbringing.”

“So you’re just calling me girlfriend-less!” Xiao Yanjin pouted.

Ji Mian shrugged. “Big sis, when you like someone, your heart belongs only to them. You just want to treat them well. But you? You’re being led around by three people clearly, you’re an idiot.”

Xiao Yanjin pressed her lips together. Was she really an idiot?

Thinking about it, all three of them treated her well, and she treated them well in return, just not exceptionally so.

“Do you have a white moonlight in your heart?” Xiao Yanjin suddenly asked.

Ji Mian froze, then blushed.

Xiao Yanjin crossed her arms. “I bet it’s that actress, Xu Yinghou.”

Ji Mian sighed. “Forget it. She already has a wife and child. No use thinking about her.” (Even if her wife was technically her past self, knowing she was happy was enough.)

Then she changed the subject. “Does that mean you have a white moonlight too?”

Xiao Yanjin hesitated before murmuring, “You probably already know, it’s the eldest daughter of the Ji family, Ji Yunzhi. Also Xu Zhixia’s cousin.”

Ji Mian nodded. “Ah, so that’s why. You totally deserve pining after her.”

Xiao Yanjin: “…”

Ji Mian thought for a moment. “But don’t you think one of your roommates resembles Ji Yunzhi a little?”

Xiao Yanjin gritted her teeth. “I would never use someone as a substitute!”

Following Ji Mian’s advice, Xiao Yanjin explained things to Tang Qing and Mo Ranran.

Tang Qing, unwilling to accept it, ran off in tears and nearly collapsed from crying. Eventually, someone comforted her, and she decided to stay friends with Xiao Yanjin.

Mo Ranran, however, gazed at her affectionately and said, “I’ll wait for you.”

Xiao Yanjin: “…”

Some classmates, hearing that Xiao Yanjin had two goddesses pining after her, praised her irresistible charm.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Xiao Yanjin felt her sensitive period might be coming again.

Before this, she had noticed Ji Yunzhi gradually distancing herself. The girl who never spoke to boys was now borrowing stationery from them.

Though Xiao Yanjin had never treated Ji Yunzhi as a replacement, she still harbored some affection for her.

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Yanjin clenched her fists.

During the class gathering, many girls drank, but Xiao Yanjin didn’t dare, afraid her sensitive period would arrive early and cause an embarrassing scene.

Tang Qing, drunk, was embraced by another girl as they stumbled out together, their destination unclear.

Mo Ranran had lab work and had to leave early.

In the dorm, only Ji Yunzhi and Xiao Yanjin remained at the party.

Several boys took the opportunity to confess to Ji Yunzhi again. But this time, instead of coldly rejecting them as before, she stayed silent giving them false hope.

Xiao Yanjin found it unbearable. Seizing the rare chance that Ji Yunzhi was drunk, she offered to take her home under the guise of being a concerned friend.

Yet once they arrived, Ji Yunzhi clung to her neck, refusing to let go.

Xiao Yanjin had only ever had physical contact with Tang Qing, and even then, it had been awkward and flustered, born of youthful inexperience.

But with Ji Yunzhi, it was different. Her body reacted in ways she couldn’t explain, uncomfortable yet electrifying.

When pale, smooth fingers brushed against her skin, Xiao Yanjin shuddered.

To her dismay, the room suddenly smelled of sweet milk. Had her sensitive period come early?!

Ji Yunzhi abruptly gripped her arm, murmuring, “You smell so good… like milk.”

Xiao Yanjin hurriedly tried to guide her to the bedroom, but Ji Yunzhi refused to move, pressing against her instead, sweet and intoxicating, like fermented milk in the air.

The cool, delicate fragrance unique to Ji Yunzhi enveloped her.

Xiao Yanjin’s heart trembled faintly.

So intoxicating…

She wondered if Ji Yunzhi also had pheromones.

Unconsciously, she almost mistook her for Ji Yunuo.

The impulse drove her forward.

Before she knew it, Xiao Yanjin had sealed Ji Yunzhi’s lips with her own. The first touch of a girl’s mouth was unexpectedly soft and sweet.

She was on the verge of losing control, her alpha instincts surging.

But she stopped abruptly, guilt washing over her, taking advantage was wrong. Yet her sensitive period made restraint nearly impossible.

A slight misstep sent Ji Yunzhi tumbling onto the couch, her lips kissed into a tender, glistening red, as if they could breathe.

Xiao Yanjin gazed at her, the haze of her sensitive period pulling her under again.

One more kiss wouldn’t hurt…

Leaning down slowly, she inhaled that irresistible scent, desire coiling tighter. Just as she drew near,

Ji Yunzhi let out a soft whimper, nestling into Xiao Yanjin’s arms like a kitten. “Yanjin… is that you?”

Xiao Yanjin stiffened, startled.

“What did you say?”

“I said… is it you?” Ji Yunzhi’s dazed eyes filled her with dread.

“O-Of course it’s me!” Xiao Yanjin forced a laugh, her body tensing. Had Ji Yunzhi discovered she was a transmigrator?! No way, she’d be labeled a freak as an alpha!

“No… you’re not. You’re nothing like her.” Ji Yunzhi’s voice was firm, alcohol loosening her tongue as she voiced her doubts.

“She’s truly an intelligent person, clear and logical in speech, enjoys interacting with people, treats everyone well, yet has a sharp tongue. But when faced with injustice, she’s always the first to stand up against it. You’re nothing like her, except for one thing…” Ji Yunzhi smiled. “You share her warmth and kindness. I really like that about you.”

Xiao Yanjin’s smile stiffened, a wave of sorrow washing over her.

No one had ever praised her like this before. As a child, her mother was too busy shopping for handbags, and her father was consumed by gambling. No one taught her how to navigate social graces.

Without guidance and left to her own devices, she performed poorly in school. Even the family maid dismissed her as future deadweight. Others scorned her as a spoiled rich kid, a shameless good-for-nothing alpha who only knew how to party and chase women.

In truth, she’d never done anything truly terrible so why did everyone despise her?

At school, people befriended her only for her wealth. No one saw her as a genuine friend. Even her beloved cousin, whom she idolized, forced her to drink, called her a brainless pig, and kicked her out.

Her parents doted on her until she discovered they weren’t her biological family.

She thought at least she still had money, but then her family went bankrupt.

Life was nothing but a cruel joke. The original owner of this body had been the brilliant, courageous protagonist.

While she? Just an uneducated, aimless extra.

How she envied the original owner—how desperately she envied her.

And now this proud woman before her claimed she was good? What a laughable absurdity!

Clearly, she and Ji Yunuo were nothing alike.

“Am I… really good?” Xiao Yanjin’s voice trembled.

Ji Yunzhi met her gaze earnestly. “You truly, genuinely are.”

Xiao Yanjin laughed through tears, her heart whispering: Then could you possibly come to love me too?

The lingering cold fragrance made her head swim.

She felt herself gradually succumbing to her rut.

The warm, jade-like figure in her arms curled closer, nuzzling her neck affectionately.

Until finally, sleep took them.

Ji Yunzhi remained deeply asleep on the bed.

Xiao Yanjin knelt beside her, weathering the rut through sheer willpower.

She retained just enough clarity to avoid losing control, though the aftermath would linger.

Even if Ji Yunzhi loved Xiao Yanjin, it was only the original owner she cherished never her.

And whatever affection she felt for Ji Yunzhi stemmed solely from her resemblance to the past Ji Yunuo.

She admitted it, Ji Yunuo was her unreachable moonlight, the love she could never have.

Which was precisely why she refused to project those feelings onto Ji Yunzhi.

Gazing at the sleeping face before her, its tranquility unexpectedly brought her peace.

She wanted to learn to love Ji Yunzhi anew—to pursue her properly this time.
