I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 17

Who will save this little Chi Chi?

System 321: [Host, please note, the key plot has been initiated. Please head to Bian Yunshen’s residence in the city center to save the aloof O who is attempting suicide.]

Bai Fu: [Bian Yunshen is committing suicide? That’s great. As long as I save her, she’ll definitely change her opinion of me.]

Bai Fu asked the salesperson to bag all the bags she had just looked at, swiped her card decisively, and headed to the underground parking lot.

The two salespersons exchanged glances and whispered, “Did Miss Bai strike it rich?”

“She wasn’t this extravagant before.”

“Beep!”

The door lock flashed green. Xuanyuchi pressed the handle and pushed the door open.

She called out Bian Yunshen’s name.

The house was terribly quiet, and dark as night. Xuanyuchi fumbled for the light switch near the entrance and flicked all the switches on.

“Sister Bian?”

No one was in the living room, so Xuanyuchi headed straight for the bedroom.

The curtains of the master bedroom’s floor-to-ceiling window were not drawn. It was an overcast day, and the room was bathed in the dim light of spring.

Bian Yunshen lay peacefully on the bed, a thin quilt covering her from the chest down. A sheep doll was sleeping beside her.

The air conditioning was set to $16^circtext{C}$.

“Sister Bian, so you were sleeping here.” Xuan Yuchi smiled and walked over.

Her toe hit something. Xuan Yuchi looked down and saw a palm-sized pill bottle. She picked it up; it was empty.

She then looked at the symptoms written on the bottle… sleeping pills.

Xuan Yuchi’s heart suddenly constricted. She rushed to the bedside, checked Bian Yunshen’s breathing, and shook her arm: “Sister Bian, Sister Bian, wake up, don’t scare me.”

She had heard news of celebrities committing suicide with sleeping pills when she was young, so she frantically pulled out her phone from her bag.

System: [You cannot call an ambulance.]

Xuan Yuchi felt a pang of sadness in her nose: [Why?!]

System 666 switched to a cheerful voice: [Congratulations, you have entered the Main Quest B-version—the Fast Track.]

Xuan Yuchi’s finger hovered over the dial button: [What does that mean?]

System: [If the aloof O dies, this world will collapse again, with a certain chance of two negatives making a positive.]

Xuan Yuchi: [So you want me to sacrifice Yunchen?]

System: [If Bian Yunchen actively chooses to end her life, the Host does not need to bear guilt.]

System: [However, I must remind you, this might be your closest chance to success.]

Xuan Yuchi frowned, asking the system to clarify, but the system fell silent.

She saw Yunchen’s colorless face and felt so upset she wanted to cry.

Those beautiful eyes suddenly opened, staring straight at her, cold and sharp.

Xuan Yuchi was startled. Before she could lean back, Bian Yunchen grabbed her wrist.

Her eyes, at that moment, were like well water at night, reflecting shattered moonlight.

Why didn’t Xuan Yuchi call an ambulance?

What was she thinking in those ten-plus seconds of (daze)?

“Why did you come?” Bian Yunchen asked her coldly.

Xuan Yuchi felt guilty and stammered, “I was… worried about you, so I came to check.”

Bian Yunchen glanced at the pill bottle in her hand, and her grip tightened.

Didn’t she see it? Since she saw it, how could she be indifferent?

Bian Yunchen suddenly laughed out loud, causing Xuan Yuchi to steal a glance at her.

Four eyes met. In an instant, Bian Yunchen got up from the bed, pulled Xuan Yuchi’s wrist, and rushed to the balcony.

She pressed Xuan Yuchi against the balcony railing. Below was an abyss; a fall would mean being smashed to pieces.

The railing of her balcony only reached the height of a six or seven-year-old child, almost touching Xuan Yuchi’s waist, leaving her upper body suspended in the air.

“Sister Bian, I…” Xuan Yuchi was terrified.

Bian Yunshen’s eyes were filled with hatred: “Don’t play dumb.”

“I’m sorry.” Xuan Yuchi was close to tears.

Bian Yunchen suddenly let go of her, stepped onto a nearby low stool, and gave her a decisive look.

She had poured out the last sleeping pill from the bottle today, intentionally leaving it on the floor. She had waited for Xua Yuchi for a long time.

Xuan Yuchi realized what she was about to do and immediately hugged her leg, crying, “I don’t want you to die!”

A triumphant smile finally appeared on Bian Yunshen’s face. She gently stroked Xuan Yuchi’s head, her voice drifting: “Am I very important?”

Xuan Yuchi nodded vigorously like garlic pounding.

“Will you be with me?”

Years ago on a hot summer day, she had also asked Xuan Yuchi this question.

“Okay, okay, I like Sister Bian the most.”

But now, Xuan yuchi felt as if facing a formidable enemy, looking up at the fallen goddess.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Bian Yunchen pushed her angrily, but Xuan Yuchi was hugging too tightly. The low stool wobbled, and the two fell to the side together.

Xuan Yuchi cried out, “Ouch.”

The radio emitted a crackling sound. Bai Fu switched to the next channel, and the voice became clear.

“According to sources within the industry, Bian Yunchen was engaged to Bai Fu, the daughter of the Deputy Minister of Special Affairs, Bai Yi.”

“This news is quite shocking! Everyone knows that Bian Yunchen has been funding public welfare projects to protect vulnerable groups in recent years, while Minister Bai Yi’s political stance leans towards the conservative faction. Does this convey a certain attitude from the Bai family?”

Bai Fu’s face lit up with joy. Her relationship with Bian Yunchen was now public. How could that despicable paper figure Xuan Yuchi still be arrogant?

Turn, park, Bai Fu rushed towards Bian Yunchen’s house.

Xuan Yuchi clutched her butt and lamented, “Sister Bian, being with you means going to jail!”

Bian Yunshen’s cruel words were choked by this statement. Was this why Xuan Yuchi’s past wavering behavior happened?

She walked over and squatted beside Xuan Yuchi, telling her seriously, “It’s only five years. I’ll get divorced while you’re in jail. When you come out, we can be together forever. Isn’t that good?”

Xuan Yuchi was frightened by her serious attitude and became a pitiful little bitter melon: “That’s too miserable, it’s not suitable for me.”

“So, I’m not that important.” Bian Yunchen’s expression changed instantly, becoming obsessively terrifying. Her fingers stroked Xuan Yuchi’s wrist, like a knife that could cut at any moment.

“No, no, no!” Xuan Yuchi desperately refuted, “That’s not it!”

“Sister Bian, you are very important, it’s just that I am more important…”

Xuan Yuchi said timidly, “Loving yourself the most isn’t wrong, right?”

“I’m second?” Bian Yunchen slightly narrowed her eyes.

Xuan Yuchi hadn’t actually ranked them in her mind, but quickly thought about it, then nodded.

The gloom on Bian Yunchen’s face faded, slowly spreading into a smile.

Just as Xuan Yuchi let out a sigh of relief.

Bian Yunchen: “Who is after me?”

Xuan Yuchi’s brain raced. She intuitively felt a trap in the question, and sweetly replied, “In my heart, besides me, there is only you.”

“Heh.” Bian Yunchen seemed unconvinced.

Bai Fu had asked Bian Yunshen’s mother for the door code. Before entering the code, she took out her phone to check her reflection.

Status OK, she pushed the door and walked in.

Who is it?!

Xuan Yuchi instantly thought of the answer and wanted to hide, but Bian Yunchen held her back.

“Why are you running?” Bian Yunchen seemed slightly displeased.

When Bai Fu appeared in the sight of the two, that displeasure clearly intensified.

This was not the first time Bai Fu had shown up in her private space unannounced.

Bai Fu looked at the two women, whose atmosphere was ambiguous yet awkward, and froze at the entrance.

Bai Fu: [What’s going on? Am I too late? Or too early?]

System 321: [Darn it, the plot has deviated again. Host, please maintain the white lotus persona.]

Bai Fu “sensibly” did not question Xuan Yuchi’s presence, but instead showed concern for Bian Yunchen: “Yunchen, are you alright? I was so worried when I saw the news.”

Bian Yunchen wanted to ask her to leave, but suddenly opened her mouth as if losing consciousness: “You came.”

Xuan Yuchi’s eyes widened gradually.

What did she mean by… You came?

It sounded as if Sister Bian was waiting for Bai Fu?

System: [Not good, Bian Yunchen’s condition seems to have worsened.]

Xuan Yuchi: [Huh???]

System: [Everyone in this world is “forced” to be abnormal, but there are varying degrees. From my observation, Bian Yunchen is one of the milder cases.]

System: [But her current reaction suggests that the heavens thought she wasn’t poisoned enough and gave her an extra dose.]

Xuan Yuchi: [Heavens!]

Bai Fu walked up to Bian Yunchen and said solemnly, “Yunchen, you rest assured and recover. I will handle everything outside for you.”

Bian Yunshen showed a look of emotion: “Okay, I was in the past…”

“What are you going to handle?!” Xuan Yuchi shouted at Bai Fu, interrupting the spell.

“Have you dealt with your own slew of mistresses and flings?!”

Bai Fu clenched her fists, enduring: “I’ve changed.”

Then she sharply glanced at Xuan Yuchi: “What about you?”

Xuan Yuchi’s eyebrows flew up, sensing danger.

Sure enough, Bai Fu pulled out a photo from her embrace and showed it to Bian Yunchen: “This woman came to Chenjing Mansion to look for Xuan Yuchi a while ago.”

In the photo, a woman wearing hot pants, with bare white legs, was sitting on Xuan Yuchi’s lap. The two looked very intimate.

Xuan Yuchi: [Who is this again?!]

System: [Your old flame?]

Xuan yuchi: [I really can’t recall this one at all!]

Xuan yuchi was cornered and weakly said, “This is photoshopped. I don’t know her at all.”

However, Bian Yunshen’s eyes were full of disappointment as she looked at her.

Bai Fu theatrically pulled out a ring and knelt on one knee: “A’Chen, I owe you a heartfelt proposal. If you are willing, let’s start over. If you are not, I’ll set you free.”

Enough! Enough!

Xuan yuchi screamed internally, like ten thousand sheep roaring in anger. The last sentence was too hypocritical; no one would believe it.

Bian Yunchen’s face showed emotion. She slowly reached out her hand, not looking at Xuan yuchi.

Xuan yuchi was on the verge of crying out loud.

Xuan yuchi: [What have I become? Am I just a part of their play in this plot? 666, save me, who can save this little Chi Chi!]

System: [Meow, meow, meow.]

Xuan yuchi grabbed Bian Yunshen’s hand, trying hard to widen her eyes to attract her attention: “Sister Bian, snap out of it!”

Bian Yunshen’s fingers trembled slightly. The fog in her pupils dispersed, and she saw the world clearly again.

Bai Fu was furious. She shoved Xuan yuchi away, her manicure leaving three claw marks on Xuan yuchi’s shoulder.

“A’chen, choose for yourself.” Her tone became kind again.

Hearing her words, Bian Yunchen felt a little dizzy, as if two invisible hands were pulling at her brain.

What caught her eye were the shocking claw marks on Xuan yuchi. Swaying, she walked toward Xuan yuchi.

Her fingers lightly touched the skin beside the claw marks, afraid of hurting Xuan yuchi.

Xuan yuchi seized the opportunity to play the victim: “It hurts so much…”

A kiss invaded her by surprise.
