I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 11

Her heat cycle came early.

It wasn’t until Xuan Yuchi entered the directing department that she realized what it meant to have people better than you, to have a world outside your own.

In primary school, junior high, and her first two years of senior high, she enjoyed herself immensely, but this didn’t stop her from working hard in her final year, eventually making a sensational comeback.

Being admitted to the Drama Academy boosted Xuan Yuchi’s confidence by +N. Before school started, she boasted to her family elders that she would become the pride of the Drama Academy and the most famous person in their clan.

It wasn’t until the first critique session for her performance showcase that she received the lowest score. Her aesthetic and technical skills were utterly defeated by her classmates. Next to their work, Xuan Yuchi’s production looked like a children’s play.

She knew this in her heart but was too stubborn to admit it, saying she hadn’t put her mind to it. If she had used her full potential, the work she produced would have been too brilliant and would have hurt her classmates’ self-esteem.

She told Bian Yunchen that all her future movies would star Yunchen, and that they would join hands to charge for international awards, win the Golden Statue, and leave an indelible mark on film history.

In reality, the more she talked, the more excited she became, as if she had been drinking, forgetting her own true level.

What she hadn’t expected was that a casual remark would be remembered by Bian Yunchen.

Now she felt like a child who had told a lie, refusing to admit, absolutely refusing to admit that she had lied.

Xuan Yuchi lowered her eyes and said something without thinking: “But we are not ‘us’ anymore.”

Bian Yunchen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed: “Not ‘us’? Ha…”

Who was it that shamelessly chased her to her home to spite Bai Fu, and who was it that couldn’t stay put in the country and ran here to pester her?

A hypocritical scoundrel.

Xuan Yuchi straightened up and looked directly at her: “Sister Bian, you are married now. According to the current social climate, if you and I were ‘us,’ we would be miserable. So, you and I can’t be ‘us.’ You can only be ‘us’ with Bai Fu.”

“It wouldn’t look good for others to hear your name and think of me.”

What a shameless thing to say. A ball of fiery anger churned within Bian Yunchen’s body. She slammed the script down, producing a sharp “thwack.”

Xuan Yuchi, who was about to continue, wisely shut up.

She increasingly found Sister Bian’s attitude towards Bai Fu perplexing. A person with Bian’s level of fastidiousness surely wouldn’t fall for someone like the promiscuous Bai Fu.

Yet, Bai Fu had appeared in her room last night, and was probably here in BALI for her sake.

The system told her that the awakening of a scumbag Alpha would also paralyze Yunchen’s self-awareness, making her uncontrollably accept the scumbag Alpha.

But now, Sister Bian didn’t seem happy to hear herself putting her together with Bai Fu?

Bian Yunchen coldly questioned her: “Did you take money from the Bai family?”

Xuan Yuchi shook her head. Why would the Bai family give her money?

Even if the Bai family lost their minds and gave her money, she wouldn’t take it. She had her pride.

Bian Yunchen: “Did the Bai family offer you benefits? Did they agree to help overturn your family’s case, or are they threatening you with your mother?”

Xuan Yuchi: “None of the above.”

The bright sunlight slanted across Bian Yunchen’s face. The cold air from the air conditioner ruffled her hair, refracting streaks of golden light. Although she was fiercely illuminated, her eyes were as cold as could be. The place she looked at seemed to be stirring up a chilly wind.

Xuan Yuchi sneezed and rubbed her arms. Only then did she realize that the temperature in the room was very low, giving her goosebumps.

Bian Yunchen got up and walked to the right. Xuan Yuchi, feeling cold, also stood up and followed behind her. Perhaps she was cold and confused, as she asked a random question: “Sister Bian, what is your opinion of Bai Fu now?”

Bian Yunchen walked to the wall with the central air conditioning panel and adjusted the temperature to $26^circtext{C}$: “No opinion.”

Xuan Yuchi: “What do you mean, ‘no opinion’? Do you like her or hate her?”

Bian Yunchen turned to walk forward, but Xuan Yuchi was too close and almost lunged into her arms, her forehead grazing Bian Yunchen’s collarbone. She stumbled back a few steps, catching a scent of hair fragrance.

Bian Yunchen grabbed her hand, preventing her from hitting the nearby pillar.

Xuan Yuchi sneezed again: “Sister Bian, your hand is so cold, too.”

Bian Yunchen withdrew her hand: “I should have let you hit the pillar.”

Xuan Yuchi: “Don’t say that, I’d get hurt.”

She often used this tone to act spoiled with Bian Yunchen in the past, especially when she was being unreasonable.

Bian Yunchen paused, staring coldly at her. The fiery anger within her body flared up again.

Xuan Yuchi was unnerved by the gaze: “You still haven’t answered my question.”

“Hate,” Bian Yunchen said.

Xuan Yuchi let out a sigh of relief.

Bian Yunchen: “I hate liars the most, especially fickle ones, who momentarily want to scoop the moon from the water, and then moments later say they are afraid of falling in and won’t scoop it.”

Xuan Yuchi twisted her wrist and couldn’t help fanning the flames: “Exactly, those people are the most hateful.”

System: [Host, please calm down. I feel like she’s talking about you.]

Xuan Yuchi: [Me? Is she talking about me?!]

Xuan Yuchi: [How is that possible? Is this the image I have in Sister Bian’s heart?]

Bian Yunchen laughed with anger: “Do you have no self-awareness at all?”

Xuan Yuchi gasped. So, she really was talking about her.

Her Sister Bian, hated her.

She actually, hated her?

Xuan Yuchi crossed her arms, striking an unyielding pose: “Fine, then I hate you too!”

Bian Yunchen ignored her, walked straight back to the sofa, picked up the script, and focused on reading it.

Xuan Yuchi was left standing there, suddenly feeling a bit childish for standing there foolishly and shouting a declaration of war.

She scurried to the door, planning a quiet exit. As soon as she opened the door, a hotel employee stood there with a dining cart.

The waiter smiled and pointed to the wine in the ice bucket: “This is a private blend presented by our hotel to our esteemed guest.”

Xuan Yuchi glanced inside. Bian Yunchen also lazily lifted her gaze to look at her.

Hmph!

Xuan Yuchi said to the waiter: “Open it.”

As soon as the waiter opened the wine, Xuan Yuchi grabbed it and drank most of the bottle in gulps.

The waiter looked awkwardly at Bian Yunchen inside: “That guest hasn’t had any yet.”

The cold, refreshing taste extinguished the heat. The rich, layered flavor blossomed in her mouth.

Xuan Yuchi let out a pleasant affirmation: “Delicious! But the guest inside has a psychological need for cleanliness. She would never like what someone she dislikes likes.”

Waiter: “This…”

Bian Yunchen: “Close the door.”

The waiter closed the door as Bian Yunchen instructed. Xuan Yuchi turned her head and walked gracefully towards the elevator.

After Xuan Yuchi entered the elevator, the waiter took out his phone: “The wine was drunk by another person.”

Bai Fu: “What?!”

Bai Fu: “Didn’t I tell you to give it to the guest in room 30671?”

Waiter: “The other guest snatched the wine as soon as she came out. I couldn’t do anything.”

Bai Fu: “What did she look like?”

The waiter recalled: “Big eyes, small face, very elegant…”

Bai Fu: “Okay, you don’t need to say anymore!”

Bai Fu: “What was her state when she came out?”

Waiter: “She seemed to have had a fight with the guest in 30671.”

Bai Fu hung up the phone.

It seemed that Xuan Yuchi and Bian Yunchen had not progressed to that stage yet.

In this world, whether two people had sex could be confirmed by pheromone extraction.

As long as Bian Yunchen and Xuan Yuchi had sex, Bai Fu could threaten Xuan Yuchi with jail time to force her to obediently go back abroad.

That bottle of heat-inducing wine was originally prepared for Bian Yunchen. She didn’t believe that in the face of the pheromone inducement of an Omega in heat like Bian Yunchen, Xuan Yuchi, that thief, would be able to remain a gentleman.

What a pity. The drug inside was a forbidden substance her mother had gone through great lengths to procure.

If used on Xuan Yuchi, Bian Yunchen might not risk it.

System 321: [Warning, Host, please maintain your innocent and kind persona. Stop doing such OOC (Out of Character) things, or the plot risks deviating.]

Bai Fu: [Got it, got it. Isn’t it just that I’m anxious?]

Xuan Yuchi became hotter and hotter. She turned the air conditioner to the lowest setting but still felt hot.

She asked someone to send a thermometer. Strange, her body temperature was normal.

Could it be because she was too agitated?

In her final year of high school, she was hot all day long sitting in the classroom. She developed a heat rash on her neck, so her mother negotiated with the teacher, arranged a special seat for her, and then donated money to install an air conditioner over her head, blowing directly at her. Even though her ears were cold, she still felt hot.

Xuan Yuchi took a cold shower, which slowly took effect. But after she finished bathing and put on her clothes, that feeling returned. However, this time it didn’t seem to be just simple heat.

It was a tingling sensation in her body, a desire to grasp something, a desire to control something.

Ah! Could her heat cycle be starting?

Xuan Yuchi: [No way, my heat cycle is still a while away?]

System: [Host, following the cliché of the Scumbag Alpha genre, this hotel probably doesn’t have suppressants.]

Xuan Yuchi: [Then what should I do? If I don’t get relief during the heat cycle, my pheromones will drift around. Then everyone will know I’m in heat. How is your Host supposed to show her face?!]

Pheromones during a heat cycle are different from normal pheromones and usually return to normal after bonding with someone. If Xuan Yuchi doesn’t get a suppressant or relief, her pheromones will remain this way.

Letting her heat-laced pheromones drift around is tantamount to telling every passerby: “Beauty, looking for a hook-up.”

System: [Detecting main mission three: Unexpected turn of events. Please Host, figure out the way to pass the level on your own. The System is cheering for you.]

Xuan Yuchi: [I want to draw a prize, draw for a suppressant-type medicine!]

System: [Drawing for you now…]

System: [Thank you for your patronage.]

Xuan Yuchi: [Again!]

System: [Drawing for you now…]

System: [Thank you for your patronage.]

Xuan Yuchi: [Aah! Are you messing with me?!]

System: [Your servant is bowing out.]

Xuan Yuchi collapsed onto the bed, rolling back and forth, trying to endure it by willpower.

Finally, her willpower was defeated.

She gritted her teeth and called Bian Yunchen.

Bian Yunchen: “Does this concern me?”

Then she noticed something was off. Xuan Yuchi’s heat cycle should have been eight days later.

Xuan Yuchi was extremely embarrassed: “Just… please help me. Otherwise, it will be very shameful.”

A few minutes later, Bian Yunchen knocked on Xuan Yuchi’s room door, wearing a grey T-shirt and washed denim jeans.

Xuan Yuchi closed the door, feeling guilty.

Bian Yunchen looked at the central air conditioning panel: “Aren’t you afraid of the cold?”

Xuan Yuchi: “I am afraid of the cold, but I’m very hot right now!”

Bian Yunchen chuckled softly: “Since you hate me, why don’t you find someone else?”

Xuan Yuchi: “Am I that non-selective?”

Bian Yunchen recalled the photos she took with those women, and said with displeasure: “Yes.”

Xuan Yuchi: “Wuwuwu, I really feel awful.”

Bian Yunchen sat on the bed and patted her thigh: “Come here.”
