Not A Stupid Beauty [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 12

Jiang Qiuyan’s breathing suddenly stopped. It took her a long time to get back to a normal rhythm, her heart pounding against her ribs as if it wanted to break through her flesh and escape.

Looking at Shi Yu’s dazed eyes, she knew the little omega was being affected by her pheromones.

She wouldn’t be this bold if she were sober.

“Xiaoyu, do you know what you’re doing?”

Shi Yu, still holding her fingers, stared at her blankly, her eyes full of confusion. She looked innocent and simple.

She just felt a scorching heat inside her and wanted Jiang Qiuyan to help her.

As for what she was doing…

Shi Yu lowered her head, staring at the glittering fingers. Her mind couldn’t process it.

She lowered her body and used her lips to touch the soft, beautiful hand. Then she pressed her face against it, looked up at Jiang Qiuyan, and her almond-shaped eyes, washed bright with moisture, showed a look of undisguised desire.

Jiang Qiuyan’s throat constricted. Her gland ached and swelled. She used all her might to not show her frightening side.

I have to take it slow. I can’t scare the little cat.

Jiang Qiuyan bent her hand and kneaded Shuiyu’s cheeks, her voice low and raspy. “This place isn’t comfortable. Let’s find another place.”

She moved to pick Shuiyu up, but the omega clung to her neck tightly, her sweet scent engulfing Jiang Qiuyan’s face, leaving her with nowhere to hide.

“Right here. Hurry up~”

Shi Yu’s expression was a little impatient, but her voice was soft and gentle, sounding like she was whining. The sweet, soft voice, combined with her pheromones, entered Jiang Qiuyan’s ears, making her heart rate go out of control.

It was slow one moment and fast the next. It made her feel suffocated, as if her brain was running out of oxygen. If this continued, she would pass out.

So, when faced with temptation, all alphas are the same. The only reason I didn’t get this worked up before was that I hadn’t met someone I liked.

Her fingers instinctively tightened, pinching Shi Yu’s chin before she kissed her, in a rough and impatient way. She wanted to chew her up, skin and bones, right then and there.

To resist this urge, Jiang Qiuyan’s forehead veins popped out, and her face turned red. But Shi Yu was not satisfied.

I waited for so long, and all I’m getting is a kiss?

Kissing was comfortable, but it wasn’t what she wanted. What she wanted was something more intimate, something that could fill the emptiness in her heart and suppress the heat in her body.

Even though Shi Yu’s mind was becoming duller from the pheromones, she hadn’t completely lost her ability to think. What little logic she had left told her that Jiang Qiuyan was hesitant to touch her.

A wave of hurt welled up in her heart, and big tears rolled down, startling Jiang Qiuyan.

“What’s wrong, Xiaoyu? Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

Jiang Qiuyan reached out to wipe her tears, but Shuiyu moved away. The little omega sniffled, her voice choked. “It’s okay. I must have done something wrong. I’ll be fine if I’m alone for a while.”

Shi Yu lowered her head and bit her lip. Her mind went in circles until she came to a conclusion: she was too clingy to Jiang Qiuyan, which had made her unhappy.

I need to win her back. I still need her protection.

If Jiang Qiuyan loses interest in me this quickly, what’s going to happen to me?

Shi Huaixin’s twisted face flashed in her mind, and a shiver ran down her back. The heat in her body instantly cooled.

She held onto the counter and got off, standing in front of Jiang Qiuyan properly. She started to reach out her hand but stopped halfway, pulling it back awkwardly.

If she’s so resistant to doing things like that, she probably doesn’t want me to touch her either, right?

“Miss Jiang, I was a little rude just now. I hope you’re not mad. It won’t happen again.”

She said four sentences, and not a single one was what Jiang Qiuyan wanted to hear. Her eyebrow twitched with every word Shi Yu said.

Without a doubt, this little one was overthinking again.

She didn’t know what Shi Yu had made up in her mind to say such pitiful things. Jiang Qiuyan felt her heart ache and pulled her into a hug.

“Haven’t I told you to stop using that smart brain of yours to think nonsense?”

“You have.”

“And did you listen?”

“…”

Shuiyu thought she was angry. To not make her angrier, she didn’t argue at all and barely even breathed.

Jiang Qiuyan rubbed the back of her head and sighed softly. “What did you think that made you so sad?”

“I didn’t think of anything. I was just feeling emotional for a moment. I’m sorry.”

Shi Yu lowered her head even more, like a child who had done something wrong.

Maybe she’ll be lenient if I’m good. She won’t kick me out that way.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Qiuyan’s heart was a complex mix of feelings: a bit of annoyance from being misunderstood, a bit of helplessness from her not knowing her own worth, but most of all, her heart ached.

Shi Yu’s information was very sparse, only half a page. Besides knowing that she had a bad life in the Pei family, she knew nothing about her past. What did she go through to become like this?

Other people’s eighteen-year-old selves were carefree princesses, but she had already seen the coldness of the world and became cautious, always walking on eggshells around others.

Jiang Qiuyan’s embrace was warm and smelled of her pheromones. Shi Yu’s emotions calmed down, and she hesitated whether to hug her back.

Jiang Qiuyan noticed this. She took Shi Yu’s hands and placed them on her own waist, then gently rubbed her head into her chest.

“From now on, cry when you want to cry and laugh when you want to laugh. Don’t hold back in front of me, and don’t worry that I’ll get mad. I will never be mad at my little Xiaoyu. Got it?”

Before, she thought Shi Yu was too cautious and scared of any change. Now she knew that she was just afraid of going back to her old life.

Her heart was full of insecurity, like a person standing on the edge of a cliff, constantly worrying if she would fall because there was no one there to pull her back if she did.

It might not be easy to make her open up, but she would give her a lot of love.

“Aren’t you going to answer me?”

Jiang Qiuyan pinched her ear, her voice gentle and soft, with a hint of special affection.

Shi Yu mumbled, “Got it.”

In reality, she didn’t know if she should answer Jiang Qiuyan, but her voice was so gentle that she couldn’t help but want to respond.

Even if I can’t really believe it, at least she’s willing to lie to me.

Jiang Qiuyan’s hand pressed against the small of her back, her fingers hooking under the hem of her shirt, lingering but not going further.

“Then I’ll tell you a secret, too,” she whispered, biting the tip of Shi Yu’s ear. “I’ve been holding back because I’m afraid of hurting you, not because I don’t want to.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Yu’s ear ached, and a cold hand was on her back.

Jiang Qiuyan’s hand had been resting on the counter, so the heat had been drained from her palm. When her cold palm touched Shuiyu’s warm skin, it made her shiver.

The omega was too thin. Her backbones were protruding. As Jiang Qiuyan traced them with her fingers, she could clearly feel Shuiyu’s breathing stop.

The little cat was arched over in her arms, her heart beating against Jiang Qiuyan’s palm. Thump, thump, thump. Each beat was an invitation.

“I’ve been holding back so much it hurts my stomach, and you misunderstood me like that. So no matter how much you cry later, I won’t listen.”

She kissed Shi Yu on the mouth, her voice a little slurred. “You’re so heartless.”
