I Confessed to the Wrong Enigma, Then Got Pregnant as a Top Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

The man squatted in front of him, his expression submerged in shadows, flickering between light and dark so that his specific emotions couldn’t be seen.

After the initial shock faded, Qi Ran’s mind gradually cleared, and he recognized the man in front of him as the boyfriend he had just claimed at the Jiang family home today.

Then, he remembered the scene of seeing Jiang Siheng in the bar.

He raised a hand to cover his face, but suddenly caught a whiff of a sour, acrid smell that nearly made him faint from the stench.

Seeing the look of horror on his face, Jiang Siheng curled his lips: “Do you remember who I am now?”

Hearing this, Qi Ran’s heart skipped a beat. He rubbed his hands on his clothes a few times, trying to wipe away the foul odor, but it felt as if his entire body was covered in that smell. Right now, he had only one thought: take a shower.

He nodded hurriedly.

He looked around; he had absolutely no memory of how he had ended up here.

Jiang Siheng stood up, turned, and walked to the side, speaking casually: “Then tell me, who am I?”

Qi Ran felt that Jiang Siheng was like a walking “100,000 Whys.” He propped himself up, standing up wobbling. Although he was sober now, his head felt dizzy, heavy, and uncomfortable. “Young Master Jiang, I caused you trouble tonight. I’m sorry.”

No matter what, apologizing first was never wrong.

Jiang Siheng looked at him. The sudden silence gave Qi Ran a chilling sensation down his spine. Regarding Jiang Siheng, he always felt the man wasn’t as simple as he appeared on the surface; moreover, looking at the character settings, this man had a strong potential to be a “crazy-batch” (lunatic/yandere).

He wanted to say: “Um…” if there was nothing else, he would head back first.

“Go take a shower.”

Jiang Siheng didn’t give him a chance to finish, coldly spitting out those three words.

Qi Ran: “…”

In the middle of the night, two men were alone in a room, and he had to shower—wasn’t that a bit too dangerous?

Even though he was a man of integrity with a heart as calm as still water, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t be targeted by someone else.

He forced a smile: “No, no need. It’s the same if I go back and wash, haha.”

Jiang Siheng remained unmoved: “Go shower. You smell like death.”

That last sentence was filled with utter disgust.

“…” Qi Ran replied, “Then I’ll go open another room.”

He couldn’t shower very well here. He didn’t have clothes to change into; what would he wear after washing? He couldn’t wear a bathrobe just like him; what would it look like for him to be with Jiang Siheng like that?

As he started walking toward the door, Jiang Siheng’s cold voice rang out again: “Didn’t you say you liked me?”

This sudden sentence froze Qi Ran in his tracks. He turned to look at the man leaning against the table. Under the dim yellow light, Jiang Siheng’s expression was indifferent. With his glasses removed, his half-closed peach-blossom eyes and slightly pursed thin lips exuded a sense of danger.

Qi Ran’s heart jumped. He mentally plucked the feathers of the “Little White Chirp” (his system), but on the surface, he had to feign composure: “Ha, yeah, I do. But I have a strong smell on me right now, so…”

“Go shower.” Jiang Siheng seemed stuck on this phrase, acting as if he wouldn’t let the matter rest unless Qi Ran showered right there.

Qi Ran: “…Fine.”

It’s just a shower. They were both men and both Alphas; what could happen?

If Jiang Siheng really tried to use force, it wasn’t like Qi Ran was completely defenseless.

After giving himself a couple of mental “buff” boosts, Qi Ran opened the bathroom door.

The bathroom, which had just been used, was filled with steam and a faint, lingering scent of rosemary. Qi Ran glanced sideways at Jiang Siheng, who was still watching him from the table, and couldn’t help but wonder if this guy had set some kind of trap in the bathroom. Otherwise, why insist he shower here?

Feeling Qi Ran’s gaze, the corners of Jiang Siheng’s mouth turned up: “Scrub the bathroom clean after you’re done.”

Qi Ran instinctively widened his eyes. His beautiful deer-like eyes were full of shock, clearly unable to believe what he had just heard.

Jiang Siheng wanted him to scrub a hotel bathroom?

Is this guy sick?

Jiang Siheng’s face showed no sign of illness: “Scrub it at least three times. I will check.”

Qi Ran blinked, looking at him with a completely bewildered expression: “Why?”

Even if he was going to die, he wanted to die knowing why.

Jiang Siheng took in his confused expression. At this moment, the unsmiling youth looked very much like a certain person if only he weren’t so dim-witted.

“Think for yourself.”

Leaving those words behind, Jiang Siheng turned and sat back on the bed. Qi Ran, however, wasn’t having it. He had a temper too, okay?

Why should Jiang Siheng bully him over and over again? Based on what?

“I’m not scrubbing. What are you going to do about it?” Qi Ran arched an eyebrow and closed the bathroom door behind him, looking ready for a fight. “Jiang Siheng, don’t go too far. It’s the middle of the night; by what right do you make me scrub the bathroom?”

Jiang Siheng looked at him, the emotion in his eyes very faint, as if he didn’t take the provocation seriously at all: “You ask me by what right? Do you need me to help you remember exactly what you did tonight?”

At the sudden mention of this, Qi Ran felt a pang of guilt. He frantically poked the Little White Chirp’s head in his mind: “I didn’t do anything to him tonight, did I?”

The Little White Chirp, which had been silent all night, pulled its head out from under its wing and said listlessly: [What else did you want to do? You threw up all over him. I think the only reason he didn’t kill you outright is that his moral compass is high. Ugh, don’t talk about it, the smell is too much~]

After speaking, the Little White Chirp even showed him a video playback.

Seeing the moment he grabbed Jiang Siheng’s collar and vomited: “…”

Jiang Siheng really did have excellent self-restraint for not kicking him out of the car right then.

“Ha, maybe it’s because I like you! I’ll scrub three times, right?!” Changing his previous indignation, Qi Ran turned and headed into the bathroom with a grin.

It’s just scrubbing a bathroom; what kind of punishment is that? He could handle it.

Jiang Siheng raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Then, he curled his lips.

Qi Ran washed himself thoroughly from head to toe, then put on a bathrobe and began cleaning the bathroom. The Little White Chirp yawned and half-heartedly flapped its wings: [Add oil, add oil (Go for it), host go for it~]

Qi Ran: “Thanks, you can stay quiet now.”

The Little White Chirp tilted its head: [Host gained three days of life this time and can finally rest a bit. Aren’t you happy?]

Qi Ran gave a hollow laugh: “If the problem of Jiang Siheng isn’t solved, do you think I’ll have any peaceful days in the future?”

He had a faint feeling that Jiang Siheng might be his biggest obstacle from now on.

The Little White Chirp was quiet for a moment: [Actually, there’s something I haven’t told you yet.]

Qi Ran had a bad feeling: “…What is it?”

The Little White Chirp didn’t answer directly but played the video from the car again. Only this time, unlike before, it had sound.

When he heard himself say, “The person I’m confessing to isn’t you,” Qi Ran once again felt that being able to stand here alive and scrubbing a bathroom was actually pretty great.

He was swaying back and forth on the edge of seeking death, yet he wasn’t dead. What kind of peerless saint was Jiang Siheng?
