From Trashy A to the Heiress’s Little Son-in-Law After the Idol Competition (GL, ABO) - Chapter 38

Xiao Yanjin mustered her courage and pulled the still-dazed Omega into her arms. The Omega’s body temperature rose steadily against her, trembling slightly. Xiao Yanjin’s heart ached, she couldn’t bear to see Ji Yunuo cry.

“Don’t cry,  I like you. I realized it a while ago. I even fantasized about getting closer to you, but everyone kept saying we’re from different worlds.

You’re highly educated, outstanding, from a good family while my family went bankrupt, I’m burdened with public scorn, and I have countless scandals. I didn’t want to drag you down. I didn’t want people calling you blind for choosing me, and I didn’t want to disappoint your mothers.”

“No… you’re wonderful. Even if you think no one is worthy of me, I believe you are. Can’t you,  just talk to me properly?

I… I’ll help you through this, okay?” Ji Yunuo’s voice trembled slightly, laced with cautious vulnerability as she held back tears, speaking her truth.

Whatever Xiao Yanjin was like in the past, whatever version Wei Qin and others painted was not the Xiao Yanjin she knew. The Xiao Yanjin she knew now wasn’t uneducated, wasn’t a scoundrel, wasn’t some bar-hopping flirt chasing after pretty girls. She was just a straightforward, sweet Alpha who knew how to make her smile, how to make her heart race, how to keep her up all night with restless thoughts.

Xiao Yanjin felt both heartbroken and comforted. Only now did she realize how deeply Ji Yunuo loved her. As an Alpha, she should be standing strong in front of her Omega—so why had she been running away?

Loving someone isn’t about pushing them away for their own good.

If she was going to be shameless, then she might as well go all the way.

“Ji Yunuo.”

Silence lingered.

A few seconds later, Xiao Yanjin’s clear voice rang out as if echoing through the entire building.

“I like you.”

Ji Yunuo lifted her gaze.

The Alpha’s tender kiss landed on her lips again—so gentle it could melt into water.

Ji Yunuo let out a dazed hum.

“What’s that ‘hm’ for?” Xiao Yanjin teased.

A blush spread across Ji Yunuo’s cheeks as she whispered, “I like you too.”

“Say it again.”

“I like you too.”

“What?!”

“I LIKE YOU TOO!” she shouted into her ear.

Xiao Yanjin laughed, unable to stop for the longest time.

At this moment, she finally understood, she didn’t care anymore. She wanted to be with Ji Yunuo!

This was her Omega. The first Omega she had ever marked.

Leaning close, she murmured into Ji Yunuo’s ear, “Big sister,  your kiss just now was so clumsy it hurt me. Did you learn how to do it properly this time?”

Hot breath tickled her ear, making Ji Yunuo burn with embarrassment. She tried to push Xiao Yanjin away, but her hand remained firmly grasped.

Xiao Yanjin smirked, licking her lips. “Don’t you know what I dream about every night? I always wish I could be with you…”

Ji Yunuo regained her usual composure, though her cheeks stayed flushed, her expression still shy.

“Mm.”

“‘Mm’ what?”

She felt like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of the person before her. But luckily, that person was the one she loved so there was no fear.

“You,  what do you dream about every night?”

“Hehe, I can’t tell you yet.”

“Then…”

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Yanjin raised an eyebrow, planting gentle kisses on her forehead.

Her nose, lips, cheeks, chin, and… that slender neck.

Her kisses were tender, so tender—like water softly caressing skin.

“Ah… A-Jin.” Ji Yunuo trembled slightly, surprised that Xiao Yanjin would do this. A trace of her pheromones accidentally leaked out.

Xiao Yanjin caught the scent and lost control for a moment, her touch growing rougher.

It wasn’t until Ji Yunuo reluctantly pushed her away that she snapped back to reality.

“I… I’m sorry.”

Ji Yunuo giggled. They were probably considered an Alpha-Omega couple now, so kissing wasn’t a big deal—it was just that being newly together still felt a little awkward.

Xiao Yanjin stroked her jade-like hand. “Does this mean we’re together now?”

“What else would it mean?”

Xiao Yanjin hugged her tightly, all the anxiety from the past few days vanishing without a trace. Her heart was filled with the bliss of being in love, she could finally openly be close to the person she adored.

“I love you so, so much.”

Her girlfriend’s voice lingered in her ears, impossible to shake off. Ji Yunuo’s gaze softened as she held her just as tightly, thinking she would never let go for the rest of her life.

“Can you promise me something?” Ji Yunuo suddenly said after a brief silence.

Xiao Yanjin was already lost in the happiness of being with her Nuojiejie.

“What is it, jiejie?” She nestled into Ji Yunuo’s arms like an affectionate kitten, clingy and utterly endearing.

“Well… are you and He Rou really close?”

“Of course.”

“How close?”

“Just chatting, nothing more! You don’t have to worry!” Xiao Yanjin suddenly straightened up, standing at attention like a soldier in front of Ji Yunuo. “I’ve never touched her, never had meals or drinks with her. Miss Ji, rest assured!”

Lowering her voice, she whispered in Ji Yunuo’s ear, “I have Alpha morals. I’m yours now. Whatever jiejie wants me to do, I’ll do it. Hehe.”

Ji Yunuo couldn’t help but laugh. Since the misunderstanding was cleared up, she wouldn’t nitpick and make things difficult for Xiao Yanjin.

“Then, I have a task for you.”

“What is it?”

“Don’t call me ‘Miss Ji’ anymore. It makes me uncomfortable.”

Seeing her Omega’s pouty expression, Xiao Yanjin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She immediately pulled her into another hug and planted a loud, exaggerated kiss on her cheek.

“Call you jiejie, got it! Yes, ma’am!”

Ji Yunuo smiled in satisfaction, but her pride wouldn’t let her bask in it for long. She quickly schooled her expression.

“And when you eat in the cafeteria, I want to see you eating alone.” She deliberately used a commanding tone.

Xiao Yanjin suppressed a grin—jiejie just wanted to eat with her.

“Understood!”

The next day, training resumed as usual. Xiao Yanjin had planned to focus entirely on practice, but being in love made it hard to concentrate.

She almost wondered if last night had been a dream.

Then Ji Yunuo’s group entered their training room, and Xiao Yanjin made sure to greet only her.

“Hey… everyone.” It was obvious where her gaze and words were really directed.

Ji Yunuo simply smiled at her warmly.

Even when facing other delicate Omegas, Ji Yunuo remained polite.

But when it came to Xiao Yanjin, her eyes overflowed with endless affection.

Luckily, no one else seemed to notice.

He Rou asked, “How’s your practice going?”

Ji Yunuo replied, “We’ve pretty much got the song down. We wanted to see how your dance practice is coming along.”

He Rou teased, “I see! You’re here to spy on our progress!”

Ji Yunuo smiled as usual, though she had another private reason for coming. Others found it strange—ever since last night, Ji Yunuo seemed like a different person, greeting everyone with a smile as if something wonderful had happened, a far cry from her usual cold and aloof demeanor.

“Show us what you’ve got,” the members of Ji Yunuo’s group egged them on.

He Rou, eager to show off, agreed. “Fine then.” She glanced at Xiao Yanjin, who was spacing out. “Xiao Yanjin, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and join us!”

Xiao Yanjin stole a glance at Ji Yunuo but quickly averted her gaze, afraid she wouldn’t be able to look away if she stared too long. Before, even though she’d always thought Ji Yunuo was beautiful, she’d never been particularly awestruck. But now, every time she saw Ji Yunuo, she couldn’t help but marvel. Love sees no flaws—that’s what she thought.

After they performed a segment, Ji Yunuo unexpectedly clapped. And not just her usual composed, restrained applause—this time, her eyes sparkled with genuine appreciation.

He Rou tossed her curly hair. “You seem pretty satisfied. I’m honored to receive the young miss’s praise.”

“I’m honored you’ve taken such good care of every trainee,” Ji Yunuo replied before leading her group away.

He Rou found the exchange odd, but then she noticed the still-recording video camera. Reviewing the footage, she realized some members’ movements were completely out of sync. Though she herself had performed flawlessly, the overall effect fell far short of expectations. Yet, the notoriously picky Ji Yunuo had praised them. He Rou found it utterly baffling.

True to her reputation as the “overseas training demon,” He Rou was not only sharp and precise in her dancing, blending grace with power, but she could also instantly spot any odd movements among the members.

“Hey, Xiao Yanjin, have you eaten?” He Rou asked.

Xiao Yanjin: “…”

He Rou clicked her tongue. “Why are your moves so weak? I thought you were completely drained. If you’re like this, what’s your future omega going to do?”

Xiao Yanjin gritted her teeth. Whether I’m weak or not is none of your business!

That night, she told Ji Yunuo about the incident, and Ji Yunuo burst into laughter.

Xiao Yanjin smirked mischievously. “If it were really like that, you…” She trailed off with a sly grin. “Would you be able to handle it?”

“Why?”

“Because I wouldn’t be able to make you happy.”

“What are you thinking?” Ji Yunuo rolled her eyes. “If you can’t, I can.”

Xiao Yanjin considered this—wait, not that she was actually incapable!

“Then can I touch your chest?”

Ji Yunuo: “…”

“Don’t you have your own?”

“Mine doesn’t seem as big as yours.”

“Nonsense.” Ji Yunuo reached for her clothes but stopped.

“What are you trying to do? Undress me?” Xiao Yanjin raised an eyebrow.

“Of course not.”

Xiao Yanjin had always considered herself fairly conservative in certain aspects, but she’d met someone even more reserved than her.

It was the third day since they’d gotten together, but due to training, they’d only managed brief, hurried meetings. Only now could they finally sit down and talk properly.

Xiao Yanjin finally understood the saying: “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

Last night, she and Shi Zhengyi were eating instant noodles in the dorm bathroom.

Pretending to be curious, she asked, “What’s the best way to kiss someone?”

Shi Zhengyi was taken aback. “You look so innocent and pure—I didn’t expect you to ask about this kind of thing!”

Xiao Yanjin froze for a moment, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Was she really that pure?

Shi Zhengyi, always blunt and generous, wrapped an arm around Xiao Yanjin’s shoulders and patted her. “But as your best friend on the show, I’ll give you a rundown.”

Xiao Yanjin perked up, nodding eagerly.

“First, you tease her.”

“Tease her,” Xiao Yanjin repeated slowly, committing it to memory.

“Then, when you’re both in high spirits, the mood will naturally build until you feel like kissing. And then—bam!—you go for it. Start with a light kiss, then gradually deepen it, and finally well, you know.” Shi Zhengyi wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

Xiao Yanjin gave a thumbs-up. “Not bad, Shi Zhengyi. Seems like you’ve had your fair share of relationships.”

Shi Zhengyi’s smile stiffened, her expression turning awkward.

“Actually… I’ve never been in a relationship.”

Xiao Yanjin blinked. “You haven’t?”

Shi Zhengyi’s voice dropped, almost embarrassed. “Everyone thinks I’ve dated a ton, but the truth is… I’ve got nothing. I’m just a single, lonely dog, wuwuwu.”

She lamented her misfortune, but there was no outlet for her frustration.

“Then how do you know so much?”

“Let’s just say I’ve seen things I shouldn’t have.”

After explaining all that to Xiao Yanjin, Shi Zhengyi suddenly felt the urge to fall in love. But she couldn’t just go find Jiang Nan and kiss her, could she?

Who knew which Omega would eventually capture her heart?

Meanwhile, Xiao Yanjin felt her kissing skills were still lacking—she needed to prove her prowess as an Alpha.

With that in mind, she leaned in and kissed Ji Yunuo several times.

Ji Yunuo accepted them warmly.

Shi Zhengyi was right—kissing was addictive. Once the passion took over, it was hard to stop. Soon, their lips were slightly swollen from the intensity.

Between biting and licking, Xiao Yanjin only made her partner more flustered.

Ji Yunuo softly protested, “S-Stop,  Yanjin… enough.”

“What do you mean, ‘stop’?” Xiao Yanjin chuckled.

This girl!

Ji Yunuo wrapped her arms around Xiao Yanjin’s neck, overwhelmed by the Alpha’s pheromones. Struggling to maintain composure, she could only plead.

“Sister Nuo,” Xiao Yanjin murmured between kisses, “your lips are so soft and sweet. I love them.”

If you love them, then keep kissing me.

Ji Yunuo stifled a whimper, keeping the thought to herself.

But what truly snapped her back to reality was, she glanced down.

Frowning, she ordered, “Take your hand away.”

Xiao Yanjin withdrew it, slightly embarrassed. “Sorry, I lost control.” She had almost slipped it inside!
