Reborn as an Alpha and Still Wanting to Engage in Lesbian Relationships - Chapter 9

“Pfft, pfft.”

Jiang Man was awakened by the soft murmurs of a little one beside her ear.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself staring into a pair of beautiful, striking emerald-green eyes.

“Hmm?”

Rubbing her eyes with her chubby little hands, Jiang Man thought she might still be dreaming.

Otherwise, how could she possibly see Little Qingzai at home? Shouldn’t she still be filming with the program crew?

Definitely still dreaming, absolutely still dreaming.

Wearing a little flower-patterned hat, Wen Qing watched as Jiang Man, looking dazed, closed her eyes and slowly lay back down.

Placing her chubby little hands together over her chest, Jiang Man peacefully closed her eyes, trying to wake herself from this “dream.”

Her cheek was gently poked, and the soft “pfft, pfft” sounds of the little one reached her ears again.

“Hmm!”

Wen Qing’s emerald eyes were fixed intently on Jiang Man, not blinking, watching her with serious focus.

The likes and dislikes of little ones are always straightforward.

If they like someone, they’ll cling to them, stare at them, give kisses, and stick close; if they don’t, they’ll simply ignore them, act as if they don’t exist, treating them like a puff of air.

The moment Wen Qing saw Jiang Man, she couldn’t help but reveal her tiny millet-like teeth.

Jiang Man had no choice but to admit that she wasn’t dreaming.

Little Wen Qing had come to find her!

Hmm… but saying it like that made it sound a bit like the Great King Manman had done something wrong and was now being confronted.

Sitting up and shaking her head, Jiang Man tossed aside all those messy thoughts and let Wen Qing grab her hand.

The little one cupped her own chubby cheeks, staring dreamily at the other chubby little one.

As a self-proclaimed “face-appreciator,” Jiang Man never tired of looking at Wen Qing’s face, the more she looked, the more she liked it.

Unlike Jiang Man’s light brownish-yellow hair, which resembled the fur of a puppy that had just rolled around in a dirt pile, Wen Qing’s hair was stunning, like a bamboo forest after the rain, with the sun shining through, casting a shimmering blue-green glow.

Even though Little Wen Qing was still just a chubby little ball, Jiang Man, the self-appointed president of the Ultimate Face-Appreciators Association and a dedicated admirer, was confident enough to swear!

As long as Little Wen Qing didn’t grow up with a bad personality, even if she turned out aloof and indifferent, her future suitors would surely be as countless as fish in a river!

Just thinking about it made Jiang Man feel a wave of envy.

With a face like that, finding a partner in the future would be as easy as pie for Little Wen Qing. But as for herself…

Using her free hand to rub her own chubby cheeks, Jiang Man let out a deep sigh as she pondered her own advantages.

Indeed, if she wanted to find a wife, she would have to keep working on her inner qualities!

Poor her, a young girl full of anticipation for love, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, cooking, and even latte art had tragically met her end under a dump truck before she could even start a passionate, sweet romance.

To die without even knowing what her future wife would look like!

She didn’t dare dwell on it, it was enough to make men sigh and women weep!

Raising her paw to wipe away the nonexistent tears at the corner of her eye, Jiang Man finally turned her attention seriously to Wen Qing.

“Pfft, pfft?”

Looking left and right, Jiang Man didn’t see any adults around and grew curious about how Wen Qing had ended up at her house.

The little one turned her head and expertly glanced at the sun outside the window.

Hmm, it was still morning.

Based on Jiang Man’s personal experience, at this hour, her mother was definitely still cuddling with her mom in bed, so perhaps Little Wen Qing had been brought in by one of the maids?

The little one sniffed the air but didn’t catch Xu Nuo’s scent. Instead, she was met with an unfamiliar, sharp, and invigorating aroma of mint leaves.

Just a moment, the cool minty fragrance instantly cleared the little one’s still-dazed head.

Though Jiang Man knew Wen Qing couldn’t understand her baby talk, she couldn’t help but babble her confusion to her.

But clearly, Wen Qing misunderstood.

“Mwah!”

A loud kiss landed on Jiang Man’s cheek.

“Pfft!”

Wen Qing’s eyes sparkled like stars falling into the night sky, adorning her jade-green irises.

Under Wen Qing’s adoring gaze, Jiang Man’s heart melted. Not holding back her affection, she returned the kiss with one of her own.

The two little ones exchanged kisses one giving, the other returning.

Soon, their chubby cheeks were covered in each other’s slobber.

By the time Liu Ying woke up and entered the room with Jiang Feng to check on the babies, the two little ones were clumsily using small blankets to wipe the drool marks from each other’s faces.

This heartwarming and adorable scene was enough to melt Liu Ying’s heart!

Ignoring her physical discomfort, Ms. Liu Ying quickly pulled a camera from her wife’s pocket, aimed it at the babies, and began a silent, relentless burst of photos, completely unaware of her wife’s furrowed brows beside her.

Watching the two sticky little ones, Jiang Feng standing next to her wife, who was the number one fan of “Boss Manzai” frowned so deeply she could have clamped one of Manzai’s teething biscuits between her brows.

Perhaps Jiang Feng was overly sensitive, or perhaps it was an alpha’s territorial instinct.

The pretty little one nestled in her daughter’s arms gave Jiang Feng a strong sense of incongruity.

It was almost as if.

As if it were a ch…

Liu Ying put away the camera and, noticing her wife stroking her chin with a deep frown, gently patted her shoulder. “What are you thinking about?”

Jiang Feng snapped out of her thoughts and, under her wife’s puzzled gaze, stiffly separated the two babies in the crib.

She acted just like the villainous mother-in-law from ancient tales who tore apart star-crossed lovers.

Jiang Man, who had just been happily snuggling with her pretty little friend, looked up in confusion at her suddenly empty arms and saw her mother’s tense face.

“Alphas and Omegas shouldn’t be intimate without boundaries, and neither should Alphas with Alphas!”

Jiang Feng’s face was so rigid it seemed she might start cosplaying an ice machine at any moment. Regardless of whether the baby could understand, she looked seriously at Jiang Man and said, “Manzai, you can’t mess around with Alpha-Alpha relationships, understand? Alpha-Omega relationships are the proper way!”

What was all this about AAs and AOs?

Jiang Man had never quite grasped the meaning behind the three gender symbols in this world, and now, with her mother speaking so sternly, she was even more confused.

Her head spun dizzily.

Hearing her words, Liu Ying hurried over and swatted her. “What are you thinking? Wen Qing is a whole month younger than Manzai. How could they be dating already?”

“I think your top priority should be to uninstall those Green River novel browsers on your phone, the ones full of scummy Alphas.”

Liu Ying didn’t entirely agree with her wife’s perspective.

As for the future, whether Manzai’s partner turned out to be an Omega, a Beta, or an Alpha, Liu Ying’s only requirement was that she be happy.

No one knew not even with today’s advanced medical technology that while Manzai was still in her womb, her heartbeat had once stopped.

Mothers and their children share a telepathic connection, and in that moment when the heartbeat ceased, Liu Ying was utterly distraught and nearly fell down the stairs.

But in an instant, the still fetal heartbeat began to pulse again, as if by a miracle.

Picking up the dazed Jiang Man, Liu Ying nuzzled her daughter’s soft cheek. “Don’t listen to your mother, she’s been reading too many novels and has gotten carried away.”

Gazing at Jiang Man’s clear, innocent eyes, Liu Ying leaned in and rubbed her little nose, her voice filled with tenderness and boundless affection. “Whatever Manzai wants or wants to do, just go ahead and do it.”

“Mom and Mother will always stand behind Manzai, supporting you every step of the way.”

A wave of indescribable warmth surged in her heart, breaking through the walls she had built around it. In the blink of an eye, her entire heart was filled and brimming with that comforting warmth.

This was the first time in both of Jiang Man’s lives that she had felt such inseparable, unconditional love from family.

It felt like the dying fantasy of a lifelong beggar.

Jiang Man, still just a little one, froze in her mother’s arms, her wide, glistening eyes not even blinking.

At that moment, she was like the little match girl from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales, a story she hadn’t read until high school when she borrowed it from the school library.

Was this a dream?

Even after being reborn for so long, Jiang Man had never felt a sense of belonging in this world.

She was like a stranger trapped in this little body bickering with her mother, acting spoiled with her mom yet floating in midair, as if she were a “player” controlling this “game character.”

But now, sitting in her mother’s embrace, Jiang Man felt that overwhelming, unconditional love from her mom.

This was Jiang Man’s mother. This was Jiang Man’s home.

Tears welled up in the little one’s eyes, spilling over one by one. The sudden outburst of crying caught both mothers off guard.

Without even a moment to think about why she was crying, they could only fluster and fuss, trying to soothe the little one’s emotions.

On the crib nearby, another little one watched intently, her gaze fixed on Jiang Man, who was sobbing in Liu Ying’s arms.

Manzai…

In this world, everyone will love you.

After crying her heart out in her mother’s arms, Jiang Man belatedly remembered that her little companion was still there.

As her mother placed her back in the crib, Jiang Man sniffled, and the moment her eyes met Wen Qing’s, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Oh no! Even though this was her second time being a baby, she had no idea whether evolved human infants would remember things from before they turned one!

The thought that Wen Qing might remember such an embarrassing scene made Jiang Man wish she could find a crack to crawl into right then and there.

Heavens! Her flawless reputation, ruined!

She’d never realized before how emotional she could be!

Burying her head under the little blanket, the pretend baby’s face cycled through a range of expressions. Her chubby hands clenched into fists as she gritted her teeth and pounded the mattress.

Behind her, the beautiful little one had been watching her intently for a long time.

For as long as Jiang Man lay face down, hiding her bottom under the covers to escape, Wen Qing waited patiently beside her.

When the little “mound” under the blanket finally fell still, Wen Qing crawled over and lifted the blanket covering Jiang Man’s head.

Under the covers, the little one was already fast asleep, her eyes closed.

Only her damp eyelashes hinted that she had been crying not long ago.

Wen Qing lay down beside her, mimicking her posture, and pressed her chubby cheek against Jiang Man’s.

According to scientists’ research, babies spend most of their time asleep.

By the time Jiang Feng accompanied Liu Ying to change clothes and returned, the two little ones were already snuggled close together. Jiang Man was holding Wen Qing’s hand, fast asleep.

Meanwhile, on the program team’s social media platform, an official announcement was posted stating that Wen Qing and Xu Nuo would temporarily withdraw from the show.
