Reborn as an Alpha and Still Wanting to Engage in Lesbian Relationships - Chapter 12

Next door, with no little ones to disturb them, Jiang Feng was holding Liu Ying leisurely and happily while watching the live stream.

But the moment she saw Wen Yu nod, Jiang Feng shot up from her seat with a serious and anxious expression.

Although she argued with Jiang Man every day and deliberately competed for Liu Ying’s attention, taking advantage of Jiang Man’s inability to speak, that didn’t mean she agreed to hand her daughter over to Wen Yu!

On the sofa, Liu Ying pulled her wife, who was so startled that her pheromones had spilled out, and her sweet peach-scented pheromones calmed the agitated pinewood fragrance.

After a while, Jiang Feng gradually settled down.

In truth, sending the little ones off to Xu Nuo and the others wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Rather, Jiang Feng’s estrous cycle had arrived.

Every alpha experiences one to four estrous cycles each year. During this time, an alpha’s emotions become extremely sensitive and fragile, with their nerves stretched taut like a fully drawn bowstring.

Apart from their partner’s scent, any other smell in the household could send an alpha in estrus into a state of collapse, causing harm to both their family and society.

Moreover, some alphas in estrus, if not thoroughly soothed by their omega partners, might exhibit nesting behaviors and develop obsessive sexual desires.

Typically, the estrous cycle lasts about four to seven days.

As luck would have it, the night before they moved, Jiang Feng had entered her estrous cycle.

After calming her wife, Liu Ying turned off the live stream. The peach-scented pheromones flowed quietly in the enclosed room, and it took a while for Jiang Feng, caught in her agitated state, to snap back to reality.

Burying her head in her wife’s neck, Jiang Feng’s neck flushed red, and she refused to lift her face, her warmth making Liu Ying instinctively shy away.

Liu Ying laughed while dodging, “What’s wrong?”

After a long moment, a muffled voice came from her neck: “I’m embarrassed.”

Liu Ying didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she held her tightly.

In the room, the scents of pinewood and peach blended harmoniously.

On the other side, Wen Yu and Xu Nuo each held a bowl, feeding the little ones.

However, unlike when they were coaxing the children earlier, this time, Wen Yu was responsible for feeding Wen Qing.

After all, they were biological mother and daughter it wouldn’t do for them to always act like enemies whenever they met.

Whether the Wen mother-daughter pair sensed Xu Nuo’s well-intentioned efforts was unknown, but carefree Jiang Man, whose eyes were fixed only on the rice cereal, hadn’t noticed a thing.

In Jiang Man’s eyes, there was only the spoonful of rice cereal held by Xu Nuo!

As soon as Xu Nuo scooped up a spoonful and was patiently blowing on it to cool it down, Jiang Man was already eagerly opening her mouth wide.

After biting at the air for what felt like ages, the first spoonful of rice cereal finally made it into her mouth.

Jiang Man squinted her eyes contentedly, so happy that a few of her tiny teeth showed.

Xu Nuo fed one spoonful, and Jiang Man ate one spoonful, the two of them got along wonderfully.

In stark contrast, the atmosphere between Wen Yu and Wen Qing could only be described as oppressive.

Wen Yu didn’t bother blowing on the cereal. She simply scooped up a spoonful and held it to Wen Qing’s lips. Wen Qing waited for the rice cereal to cool on its own before opening her mouth to eat.

Unlike Xu Nuo and Jiang Man, who exclaimed and praised with every bite, Wen Yu and Wen Qing were so quiet it was almost suffocating.

Though they were in the same live stream, the two sides had completely different atmospheres. Viewers exclaimed that it was both heartwarming and nerve-wracking, making them smile one moment and gasp the next.

Little ones don’t have big appetites. After finishing a small bowl of rice cereal, Jiang Man was already full and started burping.

Xu Nuo, an experienced hand at raising children, set the rice bowl aside and picked her up, gently patting her back until she burped.

Usually, after lunch, the little one would take a nap.

But perhaps because she had already slept in the morning, Jiang Man was full of energy after the meal, not a hint of drowsiness in her bright, sparkling eyes.

Xu Nuo played with them for a while but couldn’t hold back a yawn herself.

Wen Yu couldn’t bear to see his wife forcing herself to stay awake. He walked over and, to Xu Nuo’s surprised gasp, scooped her up. “I’ll play with them in a bit,” he said, carrying Xu Nuo out of the room.

The two children were unfazed by the scene, having grown accustomed to Jiang Feng and Liu Ying’s even more affectionate displays at Jiang Man’s house.

With the adults gone, the little one happily played with her building blocks.

At every age, one does what suits them best. Jiang Man focused intently on stacking the small blocks to build the castle she had always dreamed of as a child.

Just as her miniature block castle was about to be completed, Jiang Man suddenly felt something square and solid.

Curious, she dragged the block box over and plunged her head inside to search.

From the box, she pulled out something that looked like a phone.

It resembled a phone, but its proportions, size, and material were unlike anything Jiang Man had ever seen or heard of, a completely new version.

Holding it in her arms, she studied it curiously for a while before finally finding the power button.

She had assumed that the device, having been lost in the block box for who knows how long, would have run out of battery long ago. To her surprise, it turned on without a hitch.

Watching the familiar startup ad, Jiang Man’s jaw dropped in astonishment.

Good heavens, this thing is a fusion of past and present, something straight out of a wuxia tale!

The phone booted up with an old-fashioned interface, but the apps were novel and dazzling to Jiang Man’s eyes.

For a child who could understand speech but couldn’t read, having a phone was about as useful as having a brick.

Her short, chubby fingers swiped across the screen, but after staring at the unfamiliar apps for a moment, Jiang Man decided that her block castle was far more interesting.

The phone, which had been so fascinating just moments before, was instantly cast aside and forgotten.

Just as Jiang Man finally found the perfect block among the thousands, a gentle, cheerful female voice came from nearby.

“Little ones, I bet you haven’t quite figured out the six gender classifications yet, right? Today, with Teacher Bird, let’s learn and understand the six genders of humans today~”

With a swift turn of her head, Jiang Man looked toward the source of the voice.

Forgetting all about finishing her block castle, she grabbed the block and crawled over to Wen Qing, who was holding the phone, and sat down beside her.

On the phone screen, a warm and friendly woman was using images and text to explain the formation, development, and pros and cons of the six genders to the young listeners.

Jiang Man, a pretend toddler with little understanding of the world, pricked up her ears and listened intently.

Finally, Jiang Man understood the classification of the three symbols!

If beta was considered a failed evolution of the new human, then alpha and omega seemed like the successful evolutions.

Female alphas addressed the drawback of females being unable to directly synthesize fertilized eggs, while male omegas resolved the issue of males being unable to carry a pregnancy.

In summary: they made up for everything the two sexes previously lacked!

But…

Jiang Man heard the teacher in the video explaining: “Both alphas and omegas possess pheromones and spiritual forms.”

“Pheromones are scents secreted by glands, which only alphas and omegas have betas do not. The same applies to spiritual forms.”

“An alpha’s pheromones function similarly to how animals in the wild build nests to attract mates, it’s a way for them to display their charm to the omegas they love.”

“Spiritual forms are manifestations of the powerful mental energy of alphas and omegas. These forms usually reside within their spiritual seas and only appear when summoned by their owners.”

“The duration a spiritual form can exist in reality is closely related to the strength of the owner’s mental energy.”

“Moreover, in a way, the spiritual form is also a part of the owner, sharing a connection.”

Jiang Man didn’t catch the rest of the explanation.

She had expected the illustrated science lesson to be interesting, but the teacher’s monotonous, chant-like delivery instantly brought back memories of her most drowsy high school days.

Her head bobbed up and down like a little chick pecking at rice.

A hand quietly reached over, gently supporting her as she lay down, and the video on her phone paused.

Wen Qing took the building block she was tightly clutching and climbed over to the small block castle she had built, quietly adding the final piece.

By the time Wen Yu had coaxed her wife to sleep, mentally prepared herself, and entered the nursery, the room was silent. The two little ones were nestled together, fast asleep.

Beside Wen Qing was the light tablet Wen Yu had suddenly lost the day before she promised to send her to the Jiang family. Not far away stood the block castle the little ones had built.

Wen Yu stood watching for a long while before finally pulling out another light tablet, approaching, and aiming the camera at the entire crib.

She thought her wife would surely love this heartwarming scene.

She took hundreds of photos before quietly leaving.

As she gently closed the nursery door, one of the little ones, hidden from the camera’s view, quietly opened her eyes.

She shifted closer to the other soundly sleeping child and, contentedly, closed her eyes again.

Little ones sleep in short bursts, and long before the adults had rested enough to wake up, the child was already energetically playing by herself in the crib.

Jiang Man’s current favorite was no longer the building blocks.

Instead, it was the phone in Wen Qing’s hands!

Although she couldn’t read the words, Wen Qing seemed to be a naturally lucky child, always stumbling upon exactly what Jiang Man wanted to watch by accident.

Jiang Man adored her!

With Wen Qing around, it made up for Jiang Man’s illiteracy.

Jiang Man absorbed information from the phone like a sponge, taking in messages from all directions.

In just one nap time, she had listened to the history of the new era, starting from 2024 up to the present.

From stellar explosions and wormhole devourings to what was called the “Evolution Haze” and the journey across the starry seas.

Jiang Man couldn’t help but marvel at humanity’s indomitable spirit and unwavering perseverance.

By the time Xu Nuo woke up and came to check on them, Jiang Man had already drained the phone’s battery.

As Xu Nuo pushed the door open, the phone happened to shut down and go black.

Seeing the two little ones nestled head-to-head, Xu Nuo couldn’t help but smile warmly and quickly walked over to them.

As she approached, she spotted the powered-down, dark-screened light brain. Picking it up, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled: “Strange, wasn’t this lost before? How did it suddenly reappear?”

Having just played with it for a long time, Jiang Man grew tense at these words.

A child under one year old playing with a phone, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed a bit unbelievable!

Jiang Man froze, afraid to move a muscle, terrified that Xu Nuo might report her to her mother or the others, leading to her being sent to some human research institute or organization.

Just the thought made Jiang Man shudder with fear.

After all, in the lesson she had just listened to, there was a mention: “In the early stages of human evolution, people couldn’t understand the process. To uncover the reasons behind evolution, some countries resorted to the cruelest, most inhumane methods, conducting research on evolving humans.”

It felt as though, in the next moment, Jiang Man’s short, chubby limbs would be strapped to a cold operating table. Above her, a glaring shadowless lamp would shine, while a group of people in dark green surgical gowns, holding sharp blades, stood nearby.

Guilty and fearful, Xiao Man shrank back, burying herself in her sister’s embrace.

Fortunately, the Wen family was not short on light brains.

On the very day Wen Yu realized his light brain was missing, within half an hour, his secretary had delivered the latest model to him.

Moreover, Xu Nuo was a scatterbrain herself, always misplacing things. She was used to items she’d lost for a while suddenly turning up somewhere.

Dismissing the light brain from her mind, Xu Nuo set it aside and looked at the two little ones snuggled “sweetly” together on the bed. She then wheeled in a double stroller from outside.

Seeing Jiang Man obediently lift her head from Wen Qing’s embrace, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the stroller, Xu Nuo couldn’t help but smile. She gently tapped Jiang Man’s little nose with her bent index finger and asked, “Well? Auntie quickly ordered this double stroller at noon. Does Manzai want to try it out?”

Of course!

Jiang Man’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she stared at the spacious, comfortable double stroller, her whole being radiating eagerness.

After listening to lessons for so long, Jiang Man was incredibly curious about the outside world. She wished she could sprout two little wings right then and fly out to explore.

With a double stroller, how far could going out be?

Jiang Man’s answer: Not far at all!

Placing Jiang Man in the stroller and watching her eyes light up as she touched and examined everything, Xu Nuo couldn’t suppress a smile.

Turning to Wen Qing, who had been staring intently at Manzai, Xu Nuo leaned in and asked softly, “Does Qingzai want to ride with Manzai?”

The question was almost unnecessary.

Wherever Jiang Man was, Wen Qing was sure to be there.

And since Wen Qing was so attached to Jiang Man, there was no way she’d let Jiang Man go out alone.

What if?

With Jiang Man’s universally likable demeanor, she might make new friends, and that would be something to smile about.
