The Aloof Beta Transmigrated as the Pretty Wife [Transmigration] - Chapter 12
Su Ren’s expression was ghastly. His usually composed and aloof face was flushed with a suppressed heat, the cold, pale skin clashing with an unhealthy, feverish red in a way that was almost painfully beautiful.
“Let go,” Su Ren said, his voice tight with irritation.
Xie Chouqiu didn’t move. He simply stared at Su Ren with those misty blue eyes, his warm breath inadvertently brushing against Su Ren’s handsome profile. The man frowned, his eyes showing a flicker of clarity, but not much.
“Can’t I have a hug?” Xie Chouqiu persisted, looking like a wronged puppy with watery eyes. “Can’t I hug my own wife?”
Initially, Su Ren suspected that Xie Chouqiu had probably received a task to compare him with someone else. He figured that was why the man was suddenly acting crazy, wanting to compare Su Ren with Liu Xi, who was currently making a scene next door. After all, that was exactly how things played out in the novel.
However, seeing Xie Chouqiu’s look of pure, stubborn devotion…
Su Ren knit his brows in a cold scowl, eyeing him with a mix of disgust and confusion.
“Who is your wife,” Su Ren said coldly. “We’re getting a divorce. Get away from me.”
Xie Chouqiu said, “But your eyes still love me, look, they’re full of me.”
Su Ren closed his eyes, his irritation peaking. “Your damn dog head is practically inside my nostrils, of course I can’t see anything else!”
Then he heard Xie Chouqiu say, “See, now that you’ve closed your eyes, your heart is full of me.”
“You motherf” Su Ren’s temper flared, his pulse throbbing at his temples. “I don’t care where you learned those stupid lines, let me go right now!”
Despite the command, Xie Chouqiu slid his large hand into Su Ren’s thick, slightly long black hair. Like an alpha wolf licking and toying with a defenseless, lovely prey, he murmured, “No. You’re my wife, I’m going to hug you!”
Su Ren reached his limit. His face went ice-cold as he stopped holding back. He mustered all his strength and threw a fierce punch, landing it squarely on the side of Xie Chouqiu’s face!
Even with the disparity in their sizes, Su Ren had practiced martial arts with his father in the past. The blow left Xie Chouqiu with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Breathing heavily, Su Ren stood up from the bed, his legs feeling a bit weak. Without even putting on his slippers, he started to walk toward the living room barefoot.
However, a powerful arm reached out and hooked around Su Ren’s slender waist from behind. Using just one arm, Xie Chouqiu lifted Su Ren’s thin frame off the ground and easily tossed him back onto the soft, large bed.
Xie Chouqiu manipulated Su Ren’s limbs with ease, as if folding a precious, delicate cat. He flipped Su Ren over somewhat roughly, and to prevent him from moving, Xie Chouqiu swiftly tied Su Ren’s hands and feet to the headboard and footboard.
Su Ren narrowed his eyes, his voice dangerous and full of rage. “Are you out of your mind?”
Xie Chouqiu blinked, seemingly reflecting for a moment. He let go of Su Ren’s waist and licked his lips like a dog that knew it had messed up. He rubbed his own head, turned around sheepishly, and leaned down to pick up the soft, fluffy alpaca from the floor. He placed it right next to Su Ren’s beautiful cheek. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have thrown it.”
“But I… you haven’t let me touch you for days, yet a stuffed alpaca gets to sleep in your arms…”
“I’ll try to control myself, though I might want to throw it again next time.”
Su Ren was speechless.
“Oh, by the way, I’m going to finish a task, just cooperate with me for a second.”
Su Ren looked back, his pale face turning a deep crimson. “Xie Chouqiu, what on earth are you up to?”
“I’m just going to mess with you for a bit, it’ll be over soon.”
Su Ren felt like he was going to die of anger. With his hands and feet bound, his eyelids remained tightly shut, though they trembled like a swan waiting for the blade.
The hem of his pajamas was lifted, revealing a section of his slender, exquisite waist. Su Ren’s hips were narrow and his waist was so thin it was likely no wider than the palm of Xie Chouqiu’s hand.
In the next moment, Xie Chouqiu pulled the blanket over, covering everything from the hips down. Su Ren cast a cold, sharp glance behind him, but there was a long silence.
Then, the camera flash clicked several times.
Su Ren looked back. He saw Xie Chouqiu taking another photo of just his lower back.
As a warm, large hand squeezed his pale skin, Su Ren felt his soul shudder. “What… what are you doing?”
Without a word, Xie Chouqiu put away his phone, his eyes filled with emotions that Su Ren couldn’t decipher.
At midnight that night, in the “Off-Topic” section of the Beijing Foreign Studies University BBS, a post titled “The Most Beautiful Waist Selection Contest” was hit with a picture of a perfect lower back.
The waist was slender, the skin white and smooth. It was supple yet strong, clearly a man’s waist. It looked a bit like an Omega’s, but even more like a Beta’s.
From the moment the photo appeared, its perfect lines set off a wave of discussion on the BBS. The thread was instantly flooded with comments:
[Holy crap, this is too beautiful. It’s the perfect blend of strength and softness, absolutely stunning?!]
[The waist, the waist, the waist!!]
[Ahhh, I’m dead!!]
[What the?! Voting was almost over and Liu Xi was set to win by a landslide! Where did this dark horse come from?!]
[You call this a dark horse? This is a legendary beauty capable of toppling kingdoms!]
[Ahhh, I’m drooling! I declare this person my new wife!]
[+1, isn’t this way better than Liu Xi?]
[Agreed with the above. I seriously suspect Liu Xi bought fake votes! She can’t even beat the third or fourth place contestants, I have no idea how her numbers got so high!]
[Hiss, but this photo is framed so tightly? You really can’t see anything but the waist?]
[Exactly. This is what a real waist competition should be. Unlike some people who show off a lace border just to take a waist photo… yeah, I’m talking about you, Liu.]
[Hahaha, when the real deal appears, everyone lurking comes out. Turns out everyone has been “suffering under Liu” for a long time, this is hilarious.]
[I don’t care! I’m calling all my roommates to come and vote!]
[Why didn’t this contestant write their name? I want all their info right now!!]
[Um… if I said this was Su R, would you guys believe me?]
[???] (Spamming x10086)
Xie Chouqiu: Whew, finally finished the task.
Su Ren: …
Liu Xi: Between Professor Su and me, who is more beautiful?
Everyone: Do you really not know?
