I Fall Every Time I Meet an Alpha [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 70

Zhong Xiaoxiao felt as if she were lying in gentle water warm, soft, and clinging to her skin, incredibly soothing. She floated and sank in the water, every pore in her body relaxing, so comfortable she felt like ascending to heaven.

A hand supported her waist, caressing her, pulling her deeper into the water. That profound, suffocating comfort turned her into a fish swimming freely in the water. She swam back and forth, back and forth, all night long.

When she finally regained consciousness, she found the surroundings utterly silent.

Spring sunlight streamed in through the window, warm and inviting.

Zhong Xiaoxiao’s entire body ached, as if she had been run over by a car. As she recalled the events of the previous night, only fragments came to mind.

She turned her head and saw Meng Yuqing’s face beside her.

Meng Yuqing was still asleep, devoid of her usual arrogance and domineering air. Instead, she looked gentle, serene, beautiful, and peaceful.

Zhong Xiaoxiao stared at her face quietly for a long time, until Meng Yuqing opened her eyes and looked back at her.

Startled by the sudden eye contact, Zhong Xiaoxiao bolted upright in bed.

The movement intensified the soreness from her waist down and her neck, making it impossible to ignore.

They had slept together. That was the sentence now etched in Zhong Xiaoxiao’s mind. She felt flustered, panicked, and utterly at a loss.

“What’s wrong?” Meng Yuqing sat up as well, watching her.

“W-we…” Zhong Xiaoxiao’s voice was slightly hoarse. The memory of what had happened between them made her flush with embarrassment. What were they supposed to do now? Damn it, how had this even happened?!

“It did happen,” the damned Meng Yuqing seemed to read her mind and said, “I’ll take responsibility for you.”

“How are you going to take responsibility for me?” Zhong Xiaoxiao glared at her, a hint of defiance in her voice. “I’m your sister-in-law!”

“Not anymore.” Meng Yuqing gently wrapped an arm around her waist and leaned in closer. “Now you’re mine.”

“…” Zhong Xiaoxiao was momentarily speechless.

Her thoughts then drifted to the state of Meng Yuzhou before her heat had taken over. The situation there had been just as disastrous. “What about your brother? How is he?”

“My brother slept with another Omega. Do you still want him?”

Meng Yuqing sounded surprised but mostly composed. The Omega before her now belonged to her, and that thought filled her with immense satisfaction.

Hers. No one could take her away.

“But the plot…” Zhong Xiaoxiao was a little worried. “The male lead and I are supposed to be a couple. If we deviate from the plot, will we still be able to go back?”

“Do you want to go back?” Meng Yuqing asked.

“Of course!” Zhong Xiaoxiao replied without hesitation. “Don’t you?”

“Fine,” Meng Yuqing rested her chin on Zhong Xiaoxiao’s shoulder. “When we go back, I’ll come find you.”

“In the real world, I’m straight…” Zhong Xiaoxiao muttered.

“Are you married?” Meng Yuqing asked. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

“No…” Zhong Xiaoxiao was a little frustrated. Over twenty years of being single, she hadn’t even had a single relationship.

Hearing her thoughts, Meng Yuqing chuckled. “Then how about giving me a try?”

“Are you pretty? I’m shallow, I only care about looks.” Zhong Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at her. “If you’re good-looking, I might consider it.”

“Gorgeous.” Meng Yuqing replied with just one word before pinching her chin and leaning in to kiss her.

Kissing led to tongues entwining, and Zhong Xiaoxiao felt dizzy and lightheaded from the lack of oxygen.

Damn Meng Yuqing, her kissing skills aren’t bad…

In the brief pauses between kisses, Zhong Xiaoxiao thought to herself dating a girl might not be so bad. Someone like Meng Yuqing was actually pretty decent.

While they were lost in their passionate embrace, others were waking up elsewhere.

Meng Yuzhou regained consciousness and saw the person beside him. The moment he recognized Gan Qingyun’s face, it felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him, splitting his soul in two.

Panicked, he rolled off the bed, hitting the floor before scrambling to his feet. He stared at the still-unconscious figure on the bed. The blanket barely covered her chest, revealing collarbones, neck, and lips marked with savage traces. Gan Qingyun looked as if she had been ravaged by a wild beast.

Fragmented memories flashed through his mind. Meng Yuzhou was filled with regret as he finally realized, it must have been that drink.

Gan Qingyun, she really went this far!

Meng Yuzhou felt violated, humiliated, and utterly furious with her.

She had ruined everything.

With his engagement imminent, how could he go through with it now that he had slept with another Omega?

Would Zhong Xiaoxiao still want him if she found out?

Seething, Meng Yuzhou dressed quickly and stormed out of the hotel.

That day, his mood plummeted to rock bottom, his expression darker than ever. When he got home, he didn’t say a word, locking himself in his room.

Now that he had slept with Gan Qingyun, she had leverage over him. From now on, she could blackmail him.

And that “from now on” didn’t take long to arrive.

Gan Qingyun returned home and explained the situation. Soon after, the Gan family pressured the Mengs.

The Gans held power and influence, and the Mengs were wary of them.

Meng Xijun summoned his son to demand an explanation. Meng Yuzhou sat there with a stormy expression, refusing to speak.

One look at him, and Meng Xijun knew it was true.

“You fool!” Meng Xijun roared in anger. “Weren’t you the one swearing up and down about getting engaged? How could you make such a stupid mistake? Now the Gans are demanding answers either marry her, or get arrested as a rapist. Choose!” His head was pounding with rage. His son had always been sharp and cautious, how could he let himself be trapped like this?

Ye Qin Cao, stunned by Meng Xijun’s outburst, stared at father and son, unable to process the tangled mess before her.

Meng Yuqing, standing nearby, chimed in, “What else can we do? Marry her. The invitations haven’t been sent yet just replace Zhong Xiaoxiao’s name with Gan Qingyun’s.”

At this, Meng Yuzhou finally reacted, glaring furiously at his sister, his displeasure written all over his face. Even now, he still wanted to marry Zhong Xiaoxiao, refusing to acknowledge Gan Qingyun. He’d rather go to jail than give up on Zhong Xiaoxiao.

Hearing his thoughts, Meng Yuqing chuckled. “Brother, do you really think Zhong Xiaoxiao would still marry you if she knew you were a rapist? If you went to prison, would she wait for you? You’re delusional.”

Meng Yuzhou clenched his teeth, seething. But after a long silence, his expression relaxed because she was right. If he were arrested as a rapist, Zhong Xiaoxiao wouldn’t marry him, let alone wait. No one knew better than him Zhong Xiaoxiao didn’t love him that much to begin with.

“I’ll marry her,” Meng Yuzhou closed his eyes, steeled himself, and said painfully, “Gan Qingyun.”

Who Meng Yuzhou married actually made no difference to his parents. Previously, they had looked down on Zhong Xiaoxiao, thinking she wasn’t from a suitable family. Now, at least this Gan Qingyun was from an appropriate background.

Seeing her son’s pained expression, Ye Qin Cao couldn’t help but comfort him: “After you marry her, you can slowly develop feelings. Everything will get better.”

It won’t get better. Meng Yuzhou thought to himself. He would never forget how Gan Qingyun had treated him.

From now on, they would torment each other until their hair turned white.

Meng Yuzhou’s life had undergone a qualitative change at this point, he had suddenly fallen from light into darkness.

“Meng Yuzhou is going to marry Gan Qingyun?” Zhong Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised by the news Meng Yuqing brought, but not entirely shocked, given what had happened.

“Yes, the Gan family came to pressure him. They forced my brother to marry her.” Meng Yuqing scoffed. “This Gan Qingyun really went all out, taking such a risky move. Doesn’t she fear my brother might kill her?”

“What should we do then?” Zhong Xiaoxiao was still somewhat concerned. “The plot has seriously deviated. Should I still wait for your brother to divorce before getting together with him?” In Zhong Xiaoxiao’s mind, the story couldn’t end without the male and female leads having a happy ending, and it troubled her greatly.

“You still want to be with my brother? Aren’t you disgusted that he’s ‘unclean’ now?” Meng Yuqing felt a pang of jealousy.

“What choice do I have? That’s how the plot goes. It’s not up to me.” Zhong Xiaoxiao stated matter-of-factly.

“You little…” Meng Yuqing pinched her cheek resentfully. “Such a tormenting minx.”

“Are you going to pretend to be a loving couple while living separate lives?” Meng Yuqing imagined it, there were plenty of couples like that in real life.

“That’s how the plot is. I can’t help it.” Zhong Xiaoxiao freed her face from Meng Yuqing’s grip and glared at her unhappily. “Then why don’t you become Meng Yuzhou? If you become Meng Yuzhou, I’ll be with you.”

Meng Yuqing looked at her, seriously considering the suggestion.

Why couldn’t she become Meng Yuzhou? She would be Meng Yuzhou, and Meng Yuzhou would be Meng Yuqing.

As long as their names were swapped, they could deceive everyone.

If the system was willing to help.

The system was so angry it automatically reset to factory settings.

When it rebooted, it only remembered its code name, 666, and Meng Yuqing. By then, it had forgotten Meng Yuqing’s identity as the villainous female supporting character, recalling only that she was its host and that it was meant to assist her.

The system mechanically asked Meng Yuqing: What assistance does the host require?

Meng Yuqing looked at the system. Truth be told, the system hadn’t appeared for three days, and she had missed it.

Unaware that the system had crashed, Meng Yuqing still treated it as the same old system and said: Can I swap names with Meng Yuzhou? If I become Meng Yuzhou, I promise to complete the mission perfectly.

System 666: Affirmative. System resetting.

Meng Yuqing watched it, unable to detect any immediate changes. Until Zhong Xiaoxiao looked at her in surprise and asked, “Did you become Meng Yuzhou?”

Hmm, that was a very insightful question.

Meng Yuqing smiled at her. “Do you like it? I’ve changed my name. From now on, I am Meng Yuzhou.”

“Then what about Meng Yuzhou?” Zhong Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask.

“Meng Yuzhou has become Meng Yuqing.” Meng Yuqing said. “The story continues.”

At the wedding banquet, a poster of the bride and groom stood at the hotel entrance, reading:

Groom: Meng Yuqing

Bride: Gan Qingyun

The golden words “We’re Getting Married!” shone brightly and dazzlingly, while the vibrant red poster exuded an indescribable festive joy.

Yet, there was no trace of happiness on the groom’s face, though the bride managed to offer polite smiles as she greeted the guests.

Du Lingyan stood in the distance, watching the bride with her courteous smile, her heart bleeding.

She had finally gotten her wish.

She had finally married the one she loved.
