I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 26
“What mischief are you plotting now?”
The first group of guests officially announced for Braving the Future was Bian Yunchen and her mysterious friend.
The entire internet exploded.
#BianYunchenNewUpdate# topped the trending searches.
Netizen “Not sure what I’m seeing”: Aaaaaah! Yunchen is finally back. Let’s see who still dares to spread rumors about our Yunchen.
Netizen “Twilight’s Haze”: Some people must be furious, right? Yunchen is alive and well. The rotten company should quickly sue those who spread the rumors!
Netizen “Only Chen-ism”: I have a thought. Does Yunchen’s return signify the decline of the conservatives, and is the spring for us Omegas finally coming?
Second trending search: #Shuihe Entertainment Confirms Bian Yunchen Will Participate in Braving the Future Season 3#
Netizen “I Hate 208”: Why is the Movie Queen participating in a variety show like this? Is she perhaps soft-banned and can’t get any acting roles? Hehe.
Netizen “Chen-Heart Unchanged”: Yunchen can participate in whatever variety show she wants. Do some people have the right to care? Don’t be so bothered!
Netizen “Yunchen’s Non-Celebrity Girlfriend”: My Chen is an Omega, you know. Everyone has seen how intense Braving the Future is. Doesn’t anyone think my Chen is particularly amazing?
Netizen “1018”: Supporting this Bian Yunchen!

Third trending search: #BianYunchen’s Mysterious Friend#
Netizen “Lost in Chen’s Beauty”: Oh my god, who is this mysterious friend?! Old fans know that my Chen is too lazy to even make friends within the industry. Who is so lucky?!
Netizen “My Wife is the Movie Queen”: It might not necessarily be a friend. Maybe the production team is just being polite. Given Yunchen’s personality, it’s hard to imagine her having an intimate friend.

The remaining trending searches were: Bian Yunchen, hurry up and join the group; I also want to travel with Bian Yunchen; Bian Yunchen shatters preconceived notions…
In short, today could be named Bian Yunchen Day.
And Bian Yunchen herself was leisurely soaking in her private swimming pool.
Yuyao Jinfu is one of Bian Yunchen’s many properties in the capital, close to the airport, making it convenient for their trip tomorrow.
Xuan Yuchi took a big sip of iced Americano and opened Yunchen’s wardrobe. These clothes were sent over by Amy early in the morning and filled the closet. Xuan Yuchi was responsible for selecting the items Bian Yunchen would need for this trip.
It was already autumn, with cool temperatures in the morning and evening, especially since they were heading into the mountains this time. Xuan Yuchi took out a few cardigans and laid them on the bed for comparison.
The cardigans were all dark-colored, logo-free, but their tailoring and style clearly showed craftsmanship, likely the work of a private designer.
Since they were going into the mountains, she should choose a dirt-resistant one. Xuan Yuchi picked the black wool cardigan, folded it neatly, and placed it in the suitcase.
Next, she chose tops, pants, and shoes. Despite her best efforts to select more sporty-looking clothes, the literary Movie Queen’s closet apparently lacked such options.
Xuan Yuchi counted the items again. They were going for seven days, so she packed seven outfits and three pairs of shoes for Bian Yunchen. That should be enough.
She went to the bathroom to get the hairdryer. A female celebrity’s hair must be carefully maintained, and a high-end hairdryer ensures the wind doesn’t damage the hair.
However, as she was about to put the hairdryer in, Xuan Yuchi hesitated again. She had researched the nature of the show beforehand. The celebrities who participated in the past and received positive reviews were mostly those with a “carefree” image.
Would appearing too refined lead to criticism from netizens?
Xuan Yuchi placed the hairdryer in the suitcase, thinking that if even a hairdryer could become a reason for criticism, what else could netizens not criticize? It was already difficult for female celebrities to maintain their beauty, and she must safeguard Yunchen’s hair health.
Xuan Yuchi consulted Yunchen’s other assistants and found the items according to the packing list they used for previous trips with Yunchen, placing them one by one into the luggage.
Xuan Yuchi zipped up the suitcase, then paused. She had a feeling she had forgotten something.
So, she ran to the poolside and quickly recited everything she had packed for Yunchen.
“See if I missed anything?” Xuan Yuchi crouched by the pool, gently flicking the water with her finger. The ripples rolled towards Yunchen, who was not far away.
Bian Yunchen was wearing a red halter-neck swimsuit, revealing the snowy white skin of her back. Her black hair was damp and draped over her shoulders.
Even without makeup, her eyes and brows were mesmerizingly charming, perhaps due to her upturned eye corners, her soaked body, and her curvy figure encased in the swimsuit. She resembled a red rose swaying in the water.
Xuan Yuchi had swum with Bian Yunchen plenty of times when she was little, but at this moment, her ears felt hot, and she averted her gaze from her.
“Underwear…” Bian Yunchen said, then submerged herself in the water and swam to one side.
The splashing water returned to Xuan Yuchi’s fingertips, like a gentle kiss. She “whooshed” to her feet and rushed away, her slippers barely touching the ground.
How could she forget the underwear!
The slight embarrassment was quickly overcome by her strong executive ability. Xuan Yuchi pulled open the bottom drawer of the left wardrobe, randomly grabbed seven pairs of panties, put them into a small bag, and then opened the second drawer.
The clever girl immediately realized that the bras and panties were matching sets, so she searched for the corresponding bras based on the panties.
She picked up a white French lace bra, couldn’t help but look at it for a while. It was so beautiful…
After putting that one away, she picked up a silver-pink silk bra, simple and elegant in design, yet still sexy.
She discovered that Yunchen’s clothing preference wasn’t entirely dark colors after all. There were many light-colored items among the underwear, but… she pondered for a moment and then felt they suited Yunchen well.
If someone else wore them, it would probably be the inherent sexiness of the lingerie itself. But with Yunchen, the clothes enhanced the wearer. She looked like a model in a fashion magazine, possessing a unique aura.
The last piece of lingerie was black. Xuan Yuchi held it up, and under the glare of the overhead light, it was slightly sheer. She was about to put it back in the closet.
Bian Yunchen, unexpectedly, stood at the door, wrapped in a towel, her hair gathered across her chest. She asked calmly, “Do you like this one?”
“No, no!” Xuan Yuchi’s face was blazing hot. She pinched the bra strap with two fingers and respectfully placed it back in its original spot, showing she had no impure thoughts.
How could she dare? She wouldn’t dare think such a thing; it was too… intense.
Seeing her reaction, Bian Yunchen cleared her throat. “I mean, if you like it, I can have someone send you a new one.”
Xuan Yuchi suddenly realized, her mouth slightly agape. So that’s what she meant. She had overthought it. She quietly mumbled, “No need.”
It wouldn’t necessarily look good on her.
Bian Yunchen entered the bedroom bathroom, opened the cabinet next to the mirror, and took out a spare hairdryer. She called out, “Come in and help me dry my hair.”
“Coming!” Xuan Yuchi happily scurried in, pulled out a stool, and said, “Sister Bian, please sit.”
Bian Yunchen wiped the dust off the stool, sat down, and closed her eyes as if tired, the warm air gently blowing past her ears.
The person’s fingers carefully lifted her hair, occasionally touching her scalp, seemingly showcasing her technique, gently pressing the pressure points on her head.
Until junior high, it was still Huo Tian who washed and dried Xuan Yuchi’s hair. It wasn’t that she was spoiled; Huo Tian just enjoyed doing it for her, treating her like a little lamb.
Before Mother’s Day in her second year of junior high, Xuan Yuchi wanted to prove she was grown up and didn’t need her mother to wash and dry her hair, so she dragged Yunchen and insisted on washing her hair.
Yunchen was too busy and accidentally forgot. When Xuan Yuchi rushed to the hair salon, Ms. Daisy had already finished washing Yunchen’s hair. Under Xuan Yuchi’s strong insistence, she gained the right to dry Yunchen’s hair.
While drying, she combined it with the massage techniques she learned online, looking quite professional.
After finishing, she invited the “guest” to rate her. Out of a perfect score of ten, the guest gave her a nine.
One point was deducted because Xuan Yuchi had accidentally cut her hand playing darts a few days earlier and hadn’t informed the guest beforehand. The guest did not accept service from an injured person.
“Does that feel good?” Xuan Yuchi massaged the pressure points on Bian Yunchen’s neck.
Her hair was already dry; this was an extra service.
Bian Yunchen held her wrist. “That tickles.”
Meeting Bian Yunchen’s dark eyes, Xuan Yuchi only now noticed the faint scent of jasmine in her hair and her pheromones, like mountain snow drifting over her nose.
Xuan Yuchi’s gaze moved lower, stopping at the rosy cupid’s bow of her lips. She had just taken an inhibitor shot yesterday, but the physiological attraction was something the inhibitor couldn’t suppress. Her throat involuntarily bobbed.
Bian Yunchen pulled her down. Her jaw grazed past Xuan Yuchi’s lips but didn’t touch, hovering near her ear. “What mischief are you plotting now?”
Bian Yunchen’s breath lightly fanned her earlobe. Xuan Yuchi’s heart pounded like a drum, but unfortunately, it was the sound of retreat.
She pretended to “inadvertently” pull away the hand that was being held and yawned. “I’m so sleepy. I’m going to wash up. Good night, Sister Bian.”
With that, she ran away without looking back, as if a snake were watching her from behind.
Closing the bathroom door, Xuan Yuchi pondered gloomily. Why had she become so timid?
Had she not flirted with Yunchen enough in the past? Although those times were when she flirted with Yunchen unknowingly, and Yunchen had to tell her that her behavior and words were called flirting.
But they were lovers before. What were they now?
After brushing her teeth, Xuan Yuchi knocked on Yunchen’s door.
She knocked three times. No response. The light in the room was off. Yunchen must be asleep.
Xuan Yuchi returned to her own room and sent a message to Yunchen before going to bed.
“Sister Bian, so what is our relationship now?”
Bian Yunchen: What do you think our relationship is?
Xuan Yuchi typed five words: “Boss and subordinate”?
Then deleted them.
Objectively speaking, that was a secondary relationship. Their primary relationship definitely wasn’t that.
She boldly spoke her mind, replying: Kept woman? I think I still owe you money, though.
In the dark room, Bian Yunchen stared at the chat interface, her eyes narrowing.
Logical error. Owing money is the relationship between a debtor and a creditor. How did Xuan Yuchi jump to “kept woman”…?
But Bian Yunchen felt that, in a certain sense, this error could be correct.
Bian Yunchen: Hmm, I’m keeping you.
Xuan Yuchi felt relieved after reading the message and went to sleep.
Someone was going to take care of her! She was going to wake up smiling in her dreams.
Xuan Yuchi was secretly delighted and sent another message to Yunchen.
Xuan Yuchi: How long will you keep me?
Bian Yunchen quickly replied: Depends on my mood.
The three words “Depends on my mood” jolted Xuan Yuchi. It was being “kept,” not merely being “cared for.” There was a difference between the two.
Xuan Yuchi: Then, during the time I’m being kept, what do I need to do?
Bian Yunchen: Everything.
Xuan Yuchi pondered for a while, what did this “everything” mean?
Late at night, a clumsy figure quietly climbed into the bed that did not belong to her.
