From Trashy A to the Heiress’s Little Son-in-Law After the Idol Competition (GL, ABO) - Chapter 39
Are you asleep?
A message came from Ji Yunuo.
Not yet. I was thinking of you even in my dreams, Jiejie.

Xiao Yanjin was still in her bunk, giggling.
Shi Zhengyi and Jiang Nan poked their heads out from their own beds.
“I’ve heard Xiao Yanjin giggling nonstop every night for a week. What is she doing?” Shi Zhengyi asked, rather puzzled.
Jiang Nan sighed. “I think she’s probably just happy that she knows her ranking is high.”
But Shi Zhengyi’s thoughts drifted in another direction.
Xiao Yanjin had been asking her about kissing not long ago.
Tsk, tsk, this girl was definitely up to something.
“Xiao Yanjin.”
“What!” Xiao Yanjin threw open her blanket, her brow furrowed in annoyance as if she’d been disturbed.
“Why so fierce?” Shi Zhengyi threw up her hands. “Are you watching short videos or something?”
Xiao Yanjin answered without hesitation, “Yeah.” She certainly couldn’t tell them she was chatting with a gorgeous beauty.
Shi Zhengyi clicked her tongue twice. So the girl really was watching short videos.
The production team decided to give the trainees a day off. With the third public performance just around the corner, everyone was under a lot of pressure and needed to relax.
So, they organized a group trip to a water park.
“Wahoo!”
Excluding the trainees who were in their susceptibility periods or running a fever, there were just over twenty people going to the water park, the perfect number to fill a large bus.
Wearing a sun hat like a tour guide, Ji Mian held a megaphone and announced, “The weather is great today, and the park will be crowded. If you run into fans, take photos and sign autographs as needed, but do not engage in private contact with fans or disrupt traffic.”
“Got it!”
Xiao Yanjin sat with Shi Zhengyi, but her body was in the camp of Cao while her heart was with the Han, she kept glancing at Ji Yunuo, who was sitting diagonally across from her.
Ji Yunuo was sitting with Lan Yuanning. She had deliberately taken the aisle seat to give Xiao Yanjin a clearer view.
The two didn’t have much time to spend together, and being in the early stages of their relationship, it was inevitable for the young couple to be madly in love.
Ji Yunuo tucked the hair on her left side behind her ear, revealing her profile. The smooth line of her jaw was illuminated by the sunlight from the window, making her skin appear even more porcelain-white.
Xiao Yanjin raised an eyebrow, letting out a silent “wow.”
Her Omega was beautiful from every angle.
“Sisters, do you want to go swimming with me?” He Rou shouted loudly.
With summer approaching, the temperature outside was already over thirty degrees Celsius. Since they were at a water park, how could they not go for a swim?
“Yunuo, are you going swimming?” Lan Yuanning asked kindly.
Ji Yunuo paused for a moment, as if waking from a dream. Several Omegas and Alphas immediately started to hoot and holler.
“I really want to see the Young Miss’s figure. She must look amazing in a swimsuit.”
“Ahhh, I can’t wait to see what the Young Miss looks like when she swims.”
Although these words came from Omegas, the faces of certain Alphas were all lit with delight. The chance to see the cool, aloof beauty in a swimsuit and watch her swim was a feast for the eyes.
“No!” Just then, a loud voice cut through their conversation. Everyone turned to look at Xiao Yanjin, who was grinding her teeth. Xiao Yanjin cleared her throat twice. “If you can’t swim, it’s perfectly fine to stay on the shore.”
He Rou said, “But this is a water park, not a swimming pool. The pools aren’t deep; even kids can go in.”
Xiao Yanjin was getting anxious. She certainly couldn’t let her Omega wear that kind of swimsuit for other lecherous Alphas to see.
It wasn’t that Xiao Yanjin was overly controlling, but since she and Ji Yunuo had just started dating, she naturally had the thought that my Omega is for my eyes only. Xiao Yanjin was also highly possessive, so she would never agree to it.
Of course, she would respect Ji Yunuo’s decision. If Ji Yunuo agreed, she wouldn’t protest any further.
Ji Yunuo said faintly, “I think I’ll just watch from the shore.” It wasn’t that she couldn’t swim; on the contrary, she loved spending time in the pool during the summer.
But she was a germaphobe and usually hired a private pool to swim in by herself. The thought of so many people watching was indeed very uncomfortable.
He Rou said, “But that’s no fun.”
“You go have fun yourself. Not everyone likes playing in the water. There are so many people and so many germs, and being all wet isn’t comfortable either,” Xiao Yanjin said.
He Rou deflated. She didn’t know when it started, but Xiao Yanjin had stopped interacting with her as much. Sometimes, when she was bored at night and asked Xiao Yanjin to go to the balcony to chat and enjoy the breeze, she would be met with a firm and resolute refusal.
They had clearly promised to be good friends.
Lan Yuanning said, “Mm, I don’t really feel like getting in the water either.”
Jiang Nan added, “I’m not going either. I still have a small cut on my knee that can’t get wet.”
“A water park isn’t just about water; there are also roller coasters and other amusement rides. Everyone should just have fun and enjoy themselves,” Ji Mian said, smoothing things over for Ji Yunuo. She knew that Wei Qin had always raised Ji Yunuo as a socialite, and wearing something as revealing as a swimsuit was naturally not allowed.
After getting off the bus, the others sprinted to the changing rooms.
Ji Mian said to the few who remained, “You can wander around, but remember, don’t go too far. It’ll be a hassle if we can’t find you when it’s time to gather.”
Xiao Yanjin looked at her. “What about you?”
Ji Mian said, “I’m going home to see my wife. She’s pregnant now and needs me to take care of her. I’ll give you five hours to play, and I’ll be back after that.”
What a considerate Alpha, Xiao Yanjin thought to herself.
The sun was scorching. Ji Yunuo and Lan Yuanning both wore bucket hats. Ji Yunuo was also wearing an off-the-shoulder, cerulean blue sundress, which made her snow-white skin look even more translucent. Xiao Yanjin sighed inwardly, wishing she could throw a jacket over her.
Perhaps because she had put on sunscreen, Ji Yunuo hadn’t brought a sun shirt.
Ahead, they saw a reaction-stick game with no one at it.
Jiang Nan’s curiosity got the better of her, and she went to try it, but she only managed to catch one out of ten sticks.
Xiao Yanjin clicked her tongue twice. “Jiang Nan, you’re not very good at this.”
Jiang Nan’s face turned red. Lan Yuanning said, “Xiao Yanjin, why don’t you give it a try?”
Xiao Yanjin stepped up confidently. One, two… she actually caught all ten.
Jiang Nan praised her, “Ah Jin, you’re amazing.”
Xiao Yanjin grinned smugly and met Ji Yunuo’s gaze. The latter was smiling indulgently, like an elder watching a child win an award.
Afterward, the four of them went to ride the water coaster.
From the outside, they could see the coaster plunging from a great height, kicking up a huge splash. It looked like they were guaranteed to get soaked.
After buying raincoats and waiting for half an hour, it was finally their turn.
Unfortunately, there were only two seats left in the current car, so the two pairs had to split up. Xiao Yanjin gave Jiang Nan a little push.
“Jiang Nan, we’re Alphas. Shouldn’t we protect the Omegas?”
Jiang Nan nodded obediently.
“I’ll protect Sister Nuo, and you protect Sister Yuanning.”
Jiang Nan agreed.
Lan Yuanning was bewildered. “It’s just a roller coaster, not a gunfight. There’s no need for protection.”
Ji Yunuo said, “Xiao Yanjin probably thinks we’re scared. Yuanning, you and Jiang Nan go ahead.”
Lan Yuanning was speechless. Had she just agreed to Xiao Yanjin’s protection? Was this something that needed protection? More importantly, did Ji Yunuo need anyone to protect her?
Before she could ask more, she and Jiang Nan put on their raincoats and got on the ride.
Xiao Yanjin glanced back at the people behind them in line. They were all engrossed in their phones. Maybe it was because the crowd was too big, or maybe no one would believe celebrities would come out to play without any disguise, but from start to finish, only a few people had recognized them, asked for an autograph or a photo, and then left.
“Sister Nuo.”
“Hm?”
“Wasn’t I clever just now? This way, I get to sit with you,” Xiao Yanjin said, proudly showing off her achievement to Ji Yunuo.
“Yes, you’re very clever.” Ji Yunuo couldn’t help but laugh, poking her on the cheek.
Xiao Yanjin didn’t dodge the poke, leaning in closer instead. “Poke me more. It means Jiejie is praising me.”
The next car arrived quickly. Xiao Yanjin and Ji Yunuo deliberately chose seats in the back so no one could see what they were doing.
The car first glided through a narrow, dark tunnel, flanked by dinosaur models and sound effects.
As they passed through the slightly spooky tunnel, Xiao Yanjin tried to scare Ji Yunuo. “Wooooo.”
Ji Yunuo looked at her with a helpless smile. The tunnel ahead was still long, so she leaned over and wrapped her arms around Xiao Yanjin’s waist.
Xiao Yanjin froze for a second, feeling something cool and soft press against her lips.
The faint scent of lavender lip balm.
Xiao Yanjin pursed her lips and smiled, then hugged Ji Yunuo back tightly, mischievously tickling her side.
Ji Yunuo let out a muffled grunt.
Xiao Yanjin whispered in her ear, “Jiejie tried to steal a kiss. I have to punish you.”
As she finished speaking, a bright opening ahead grew larger and larger. They were starting to descend.
Xiao Yanjin immediately gripped Ji Yunuo’s hand, and at the same time, Ji Yunuo tightened her grip on hers.
Ji Yunuo said in an extremely soft voice, “This is my first time on a ride like this. I think it’s very interesting.”
Xiao Yanjin’s lips curved into a smile. “Isn’t it because it’s your first time with me?”
Ji Yunuo nodded. “In the future, we can bring our children here together.”
Xiao Yanjin froze. By the time she processed the words, the car began its plunge, and her heart nearly leaped out of her chest.
She hadn’t been scared at first, but now she couldn’t face it at all.
“Jiejie, ahhhhh!” Her hand gripped so tightly that her own knuckles turned white.
Ahead was a large pool of water. In two seconds, they hit the surface, sending up a massive splash.
Shi Zhengyi and He Rou were still playing water volleyball when a sudden wave of water hit them.
He Rou pushed her long hair back. Her hair, which she had just managed to dry, was soaked again!
Shi Zhengyi was still laughing at her hairstyle when she heard a familiar scream.
She thought to herself, Why does that scream sound so much like Xiao Yanjin?
Xiao Yanjin practically stumbled off the ride with trembling legs. To make matters worse, her pants were soaked.
“Waaah, that wasn’t fun at all,” Xiao Yanjin said pitifully. She was supposed to be the one protecting the Omega, but in this state, she was the one who needed protecting. But that was okay, at least the Omega in question was the great Young Miss Ji.
Ji Yunuo, however, found it thrilling. It was as if her heart had been thrown wide open, and her whole person became more vibrant.
“I thought it was quite fun.”
Xiao Yanjin was initially sulking, wondering how anyone could find that fun, but then she saw the radiant smile on Ji Yunuo’s face. It was a smile that blended youth and sunshine, like back in high school something rarely seen on the face of the aloof Young Miss. She was momentarily stunned.
Xiao Yanjin bit her lip.
If Jiejie had fun, then it was fun. If she wanted to do it again, she would accompany her forever!
Later, unable to find the others, they went to buy ice cream.
They didn’t know where they had wandered off to, but they ended up at a rather remote snack shop. Luckily, it also sold ice cream.
Ji Yunuo deliberately bought only one ice cream, a vanilla one, similar to Xiao Yanjin’s pheromone scent.
Xiao Yanjin took a bite and let out a blissful “Mmm.”
“Is it good?”
Xiao Yanjin nodded and offered it to her. “Jiejie, don’t tell me you’re having sweets twice again?”
“I am, but rules are made to be broken.” Ji Yunuo smiled, thinking to herself, I can break all my principles for you, too. Then, she leaned in for a bite.
