I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 24

As there is a source of living water

If not now, when!

Xuan Yuchi gritted her teeth, pulled out the needle on the back of her hand, jumped to the floor to put on her shoes, not looking sick at all. She ran to the door, confirmed no one was outside, and crept out like a thief.

She didn’t dare take the elevator; it was too conspicuous. She walked to the end of the hallway to the fire escape and started walking down, floor by floor.

“Xuan Yuchi.”

She stopped, her hair standing on end. She turned her head and saw it was Huo Xiaoli.

Why was it so dark, and why was she wearing sunglasses? What did Huo Xiaoli even look like, to be so heavily guarded?

“You scared me to death,” Xuan Yuchi said, covering her chest and sounding annoyed.

Huo Xiaoli chuckled and walked towards her: “I thought Bian Yunchen had tortured you to death.”

Xuan Yuchi thought of how she herself had been nearly tortured to death by desire with no release, but she retorted defiantly: “I’m too lucky to die.”

Huo Xiaoli walked quickly, continuing down the stairs: “Hurry up.”

Xuan Yuchi followed, thinking that Aunt Ming had asked Huo Xiaoli to come and rescue her. A faint sense of gratitude arose in her heart. It was indeed family that was reliable.

However, although she and Yunchen weren’t related by blood, she was determined to take responsibility for her this time.

Her Sister Bian was sick, she had become twisted, her heart filled only with hatred, unable to see this warm and sunny world. Xuan Yuchi felt she had an obligation to be the ray of light that actively shone upon her.

With this thought, her walking pace became firm and powerful, full of righteousness, as if she were about to receive a medal of honor the next second.

The fire escape door on the first floor was closed. Huo Xiaoli opened the door just a crack. Xuan Yuchi hid behind her. The cold light of the hospital shone in, making the scene eerie.

“Dong!”

The door was violently kicked open. Huo Xiaoli pulled Xuan Yuchi back. A woman with a sharp, mean-looking face slapped her hand towards Huo Xiaoli, and they started fighting.

Another smiling woman walked in from behind the door—it was Xiao Qi.

Having been confined to the hotel for several days, Xuan Yuchi finally understood: Fengxia Island belonged to Yunchen, and Xiao Qi and everyone there were Yunchen’s people.

“Where are you going?” Xiao Qi fully opened the door, leaving Xuan Yuchi, who was bathed in light, nowhere to hide.

Behind them, Jessica and Huo Xiaoli had already determined the victor. Huo Xiaoli kicked Jessica away.

Xiao Qi looked at Jessica on the floor, a sneer flashing across her face.

Huo Xiaoli exchanged a glance with Xuan Yuchi: “Go!”

Xiao Qi didn’t stop them, letting them leave. She said to the person on the floor: “You just try too hard to show off.”

Jessica glared at her angrily.

Huo Xiaoli gave the taxi driver two hundred yuan and told her to wait at the east gate.

Xuan Yuchi walked with her face covered the entire time, afraid that by some bad luck she might run into Yunchen’s people again.

Thankfully, they got out without any trouble.

Huo Xiaoli: “You get in the car. I have something else to do.”

Last time, Bian Yunchen ditched her midway, and she suspected that the place Bian Yunchen went was not simple, so she wanted to scout it out again.

Xuan Yuchi: “Thank you for today. Also, please thank Aunt Ming for me.”

Huo Xiaoli spread her hands and shrugged: “She didn’t plan to help you, you know.”

Xuan Yuchi was stunned: “Then why did you…?”

Huo Xiaoli didn’t answer, turned around, and disappeared into the dark street.

Although there was no touching family affection, she seemed to have accidentally gained a colleague’s comradeship?

Xuan Yuchi pulled the car door handle and sat in: “Driver, go to…”

She had to gasp for a breath.

Under that person’s abyss-like gaze, Xuan Yuchi realized what it felt like to have eyes boring into her.

“I, was feeling a bit stuffy, so I came out, for some air,” Xuan Yuchi put one hand on her temple, not daring to look directly into those eyes.

There was no driver in the driver’s seat, but in the back seat was someone who shouldn’t have been there.

From the moment Xuan Yuchi left the ward, the surveillance camera specifically aimed at her room captured her escaping figure.

At that time, Bian Yunchen’s car had only driven away from the hospital for five minutes.

Pitian Hospital often receives injured Omegas and even provides them with free medical care. Sometimes, Alphas would come to the hospital to cause trouble, so the hospital hired a professional bodyguard team to hide at various exits.

This stationary car and the strange woman who got out immediately caught the team’s attention.

Bian Yunchen gave the driver some money, temporarily requisitioning the car, and waited quietly inside.

Seeing the figures of Xuan Yuchi and the woman in sunglasses emerge, she actually smiled. Her distinctly jointed fingers dug into the seat cushion, pale in the dim light.

Run, she thought. This just gave her one more reason to punish her.

Hearing Xuan Yuchi’s feeble excuse, she neither got angry nor annoyed. She raised her hand and tucked the stray hairs by Xuan Yuchi’s face behind her ear. The icy fingertips made Xuan Yuchi’s shoulder shiver.

She had taken the risk to bring Xuan Yuchi to the hospital, despite how many people outside were watching her moves, but what happened… she was deceived again.

She curled her lips in self-mockery, a look of resignation showing on her beautiful face. She said vaguely, “What do you think I should do with you?”

Her tone was like a lover’s helpless sigh. The overwhelming anger Xuan Yuchi had anticipated did not erupt; instead, it was like this…

This encouraged her to hold Bian Yunchen’s hand, which was as cold as a corpse, and plead earnestly: “Yunchen, I’ll take you to see a doctor. Even if I have to see every doctor in the world, I will cure you. I will definitely make you normal again!”

Bian Yunchen smiled and looked out the window, rolled down the car window, and beckoned. Xiao Qi got into the driver’s seat.

When the car reached the pier, Xuan Yuchi “voluntarily” boarded the yacht.

Getting into the elevator, she made a small request: “Can you not lock me to the bed this time?”

The merciful goddess granted her request, locking her to the wall instead.

Xuan Yuchi really didn’t expect there to be a secret room inside the suite.

No, based on the size of this room, the secret room was the main part of the entire floor.

The walls were covered with dark red bricks, flowing with a light wave like black blood. Xuan Yuchi stepped barefoot on the black sheepskin rug, yet still shivered and sneezed.

The warmth in her body dissipated bit by bit, and the moisture evaporated with it. Her lips were terribly dry, cracking open.

Bian Yunchen sat on a red velvet European-style chair opposite her, her porcelain-white legs crossed, leisurely swirling a glass of red wine that reflected her playful countenance.

Xuan Yuchi lowered her eyes, secretly cursing the system.

She had been set up by the system!

If the system hadn’t egged her on to run, she could have used her illness to reconcile with Yunchen. Would she have ended up being locked to the wall?

System: [Host, please calm down. You are currently in the ‘Crazy Film Empress’s Forced Love’ storyline. Please work hard to influence Bian Yunchen and make her side with you.]

Xuan Yuchi: [I have no words.]

Mental illness is still an illness, okay? Yunchen is sick. Is this something that can be cured by mere influence?

“Are you thirsty?” The sudden question came from the other side.

Xuan Yuchi nodded, pitifully saying, “Sister Bian, I’m almost dying of thirst.”

Bian Yunchen held the wine glass and walked up to her, took a sip, and then placed the red wine glass by Xuan Yuchi’s lips, brushing past them. The red wine spilled entirely onto the floor.

Xuan Yuchi: “…”

Why was she playing tricks on her!

Forget it, she wouldn’t argue with a sick person.

“I just want a little,” Xuan Yuchi blinked, pleading, her voice dry and hoarse.

Bian Yunchen didn’t speak, standing still, coldly staring at her.

What did that mean?

Xuan Yuchi saw a drop of red wine crystallize on her lip, suddenly understood, and then her face flushed.

But she was truly so thirsty and very cold, desperately wanting to taste something warm.

Her limbs were confined by leather cuffs, connected by metal chains as thick as a finger to the wall rings. She could move, but couldn’t go too far.

As Xuan Yuchi moved forward an inch, the chain clinked. Moving further was impossible. She stretched her neck, but was still about an inch away from Bian Yunchen’s wine-stained lips.

The sight of her desperately stretching her neck was both pitiable and comical, even making Bian Yunchen laugh.

Xuan Yuchi was a little embarrassed but didn’t feel humiliated. Even though Bian Yunchen was doing this simply to humiliate her.

Bian Yunchen gently touched the corner of her eye, swallowed the wine in her mouth: “Beg me?”

“I beg you.”

Xuan Yuchi answered quickly. In front of Yunchen, it was easy for her to abandon her self-esteem, just as she didn’t need to avoid her eyes when using the restroom.

“Have you ever begged others like this?” A hint of anger suddenly flashed across the Omega’s beautiful face.

Xuan Yuchi subconsciously wanted to deny it, but a fleeting memory reminded her that in Yuebei, she had indeed begged many people obsequiously for a loan.

She was afraid this was a trap set by Yunchen, and if she didn’t answer truthfully, it would make Yunchen’s illness worse.

Xuan Yuchi gave a small “Mhm.”

“Good girl, a compliant child gets water to drink…”

Although it was a compliment, Bian Yunchen’s eyes flashed with a pathological smile. She touched Xuan Yuchi’s face as if giving a reward, and unlocked the constraint on her wrist.

“Kneel.”

Xuan Yuchi thought Yunchen wanted her to kneel for atonement, so she kept her back straight and knelt very correctly.

Bian Yunchen then pinched her face, used her thumb to pry open her mouth, and pressed against the slick tip of her tongue.

She leaned close to Xuan Yuchi’s ear and whispered, “Do you know how to drink?”

Xuan Yuchi was hazy. Wasn’t it just drinking water? Who didn’t know how to drink water…?

Half an hour later, Xuan Yuchi wiped the moisture from her lips with the back of her hand, her face flushed beyond measure, and she knelt on the floor awkwardly.

Bian Yunchen’s blurred vision refocused. She placed her hand on Xuan Yuchi’s head, weakly supporting her tired body, then quietly walked out of the room and closed the heavy, dark door.

Meanwhile, in Xuan Yuchi’s mind, the woman’s charming and passionate voice still echoed. She suspected Bian Yunchen was truly made of water, an inexhaustible source.

Xuan Yuchi patted her face, trying to sober up from the lingering taste.

Xuan Yuchi: [666, is this part of the storyline finished?]

She felt a bit shameful. That was the first time she had glimpsed such a private place of Yunchen’s.

They had the affection of childhood sweethearts, before they were just innocent kissing, purely innocent. Although today was also kissing…

System: [It is not.]

Xuan Yuchi: [Huh?]

System: [You didn’t influence her even a little.]

Xuan Yuchi: [Ah?]

System: [Detection indicates she hates you more now.]

Xuan Yuchi covered her heart and took a deep breath.

Could it be that her performance was too terrible!

In the bathroom, Bian Yunchen finished cleaning herself with a tissue and looked at the flushed person in the mirror. The doctor’s words echoed in her ears.

“Your current pheromone match rate is only $1%$. Forcing a mark would cause you great harm.”

From $100%$ to $1%$, Bian Yunchen couldn’t help but clench her teeth.

What if she insisted, anyway?
