The Aloof Film Queen Gets Entangled by a Sweet Little Omega - Chapter 2

Customer No. 187, Please Enjoy Your Meal

“Dear passengers, train G7231 is about to depart. Passengers who have not yet boarded, please proceed to the manual service counter to change your ticket information…”

The mechanical female voice echoed across the platform in waves. Shi Rui held her mommy’s hand as they walked into Carriage 3, with her mother and younger cousin pushing suitcases to lead the way.

“Coming through, excuse me, please let us through.” The cousin squeezed through easily, found their seats, and shouted loudly, “Auntie, Sister, your seats are here!”

As she spoke, she patted the seats.

The aisle behind them was still crowded, so Shi Rui quickly pulled her mommy over to sit down. Although it only took two and a half hours by high-speed rail to reach the city where her university was located, she had still prepared plenty of things to pass the time.

First, she lowered the small tray tables in front of herself and her mommy. She placed snacks on one and a tablet on the other, then took out her headphones, shared one earbud with her mommy, and said excitedly: “A new movie.”

It was the latest film starring Luo Xiao, released at the end of last year.

Shi Mommy watched while snacking. Upon seeing the lead actress, she let out a soft “Huh?” then leaned over and whispered to Shi Rui: “This actress used to come to our house to film back in the day. How has she not changed at all after all these years?”

Shi Rui had been waiting for this. Her eyes sparkled, and she gave a sly smile, covering her mouth as she shared the information she had just learned: “Because she’s from the Dragon Clan.”

“Oh, then it’s not surprising.” Shi Mommy nodded. She wasn’t a celebrity chaser; she only knew who the person was and that her movies were quite good, but she knew nothing about other details.

As everyone knows, dragons have the longest lifespans in the world. A rabbit’s lifespan is roughly a hundred years; those who live past two hundred are considered long-lived elders, and there have only been three such cases worldwide to date. However, to the Dragon Clan, that age is probably like waking up from a single nap.

A member of the Dragon Clan dying in their thousands is considered an early death. Time seems to lose its constraint on them; it isn’t particularly important, so most of them live as they please.

Ten minutes before the train arrived at the station, the movie happened to end.

Shi Rui packed away her phone and tablet, cleaned and folded the tray table, and prepared to disembark.

S University had school buses to pick up freshmen. Fearing the crowds would crush Shi Rui, Shi Mommy suggested taking a taxi, but Shi Rui refused. She was going to live here for four years and needed to adapt early.

“Sigh, I wanted you to apply to a local university back home, but I was afraid you wouldn’t like it…” Shi Mommy muttered with regret. Hearing this, Shi Rui hugged her arm to comfort her. “Mommy, this school’s animation major is super famous, and the campus is beautiful. I love it so much, so don’t worry.”

“Exactly! It’s fine, Auntie. If all else fails, I’ll come here and set up a stall selling ‘Hand-Pounded Fresh Oranges’ to take care of Sister,” the cousin interjected while pushing the luggage. Beside them, Mother Chu suddenly said, “You should focus on your studies. You can even face delayed graduation at Rabbit University.”

As everyone knows, “Rabbit University” is a school specifically built for small rabbits who are either un-differentiated or cannot differentiate, teaching them practical skills. The cousin’s major was in catering.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mommy immediately remembered the situation. Her smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression: “After we drop Sister off at school and you go back, you better write your thesis properly. If you still can’t graduate next year, I’m telling your mother.”

Thinking of her mother’s fierce temper, the cousin shrank her neck in fear and replied timidly, “It’s all the supervisor’s fault. My paper ‘On the Perception of Pain in Hand-Pounded Oranges—Is it the Stick that Hurts or the Orange?’—why wouldn’t they let me pass?”

“Because your final conclusion was that the biceps hurt the most,” Shi Rui reminded her with a laugh.

The cousin grumbled softly, “But that’s exactly how it is.”

When she first started learning to make hand-pounded oranges, she felt like her biceps were going to explode.

As they finished talking, they reached the school bus stop. Unfortunately, there was an undifferentiated carnivore on the bus. The cousin couldn’t board, otherwise, there might be danger.

“Then you two wait for us here. Don’t go anywhere,” Shi Mommy commanded, and Mother Chu could only agree.

Mother Chu simply shifted back into her rabbit form to accompany the cousin; the two rabbits tucked their paws in and crouched in the shadow of the security booth.

Shi Mommy gave them a few instructions, then turned to carry the luggage toward the bus. Seeing this, the staff inside immediately came to help.

The school bus drove in through the Southeast Gate, circled halfway around the roundabout, and headed toward the dormitories. At every stop, the driver would pull over and shout at the top of his lungs: “Alpha Dorms are here! Beta Dorms are here! Omega Dorms are here!”

The dormitory was a closed complex with only one entrance. Upon entering, the high-rise buildings were on the left, while the right side was filled with cherry blossom trees and lush green grass underneath. It was beautiful.

Shi Rui checked in at the entrance of the O-3 Dormitory. The dorm manager was a cat Omega; she was a hundred and seventy years old but still very beautiful, always smiling as she told the students: “Sign your name and record your face, sign your name and record your fingerprints.”

The main dormitory gate used facial recognition for convenience, while their individual room doors used fingerprints. Four people shared one suite.

After signing and recording her face and fingerprints, Shi Rui took the elevator to the seventh floor with her mother. She was assigned to Room 703. Her three roommates were a little Siamese, a little Lamb, and a little Sea Otter.

She unlocked the door with her fingerprint. Inside, they found a large room divided into four small cubicles. The cubicle with Shi Rui’s name was on the inner left. Her bed was a giant “rabbit nest” glowing with a warm yellow light. Everything inside was already set up and brand new.

On the desk, there were also gifts from the school for the freshmen: ten boxes of Timothy hay and ten boxes of rabbit food.

“Oh, this school is really quite nice.” Shi Mommy finally smiled. Since there was no need to make the bed, she took the opportunity to open a box of rabbit treats and started munching away.

The neighbor in the next bed was a Siamese rabbit, and her nest was the same as Shi Rui’s.

Shi Rui was actually more curious about the lamb’s and the sea otter’s nests. She wanted to take a peek, but since her roommates hadn’t arrived yet, it wasn’t right to open their cubicle doors. She and her mommy changed into pajamas and lay down in the rabbit nest to continue watching Luo Xiao’s movies.

The second to arrive was the sea otter, a dazed and cute little Omega. Carrying a small suitcase, she headed straight into her cubicle. Shi Rui and her mommy walked over and knocked gently on the half-open door, asking softly: “Hello, I’m your roommate, Shi Rui. Do you need any help?”

The sea otter, who had dived headfirst into her water pool, stood up with a head full of water. After shaking off the droplets, she slowly broke into a smile and replied, “Hello! My name is He Qianqian. You can call me Qianqian.”

Shi Rui said her name and asked politely, “May I come in and see your room?”

“Welcome!” Qianqian floated on her back in the water, happily patting her belly and splashing quite a bit of water. She chuckled and asked, “Xiao Rui, what breed are you?”

Shi Rui, who was looking at the pile of seafood products on the desk, heard the question. Her ears suddenly popped out from the top of her head, standing straight up. She answered loudly: “I’m an English Angora Rabbit!”

The noon temperature was high, so the little sea otter refused to get out of her pool. She leaned against the edge to talk to Shi Rui. In just one hour, the two of them were already as close as biological sisters.

Shi Mommy felt much more at ease seeing this. Noticing that lunchtime was approaching and the other two roommates hadn’t arrived yet, she suggested that the three of them go grab a bite to eat first.

The little sea otter didn’t want to go out; she only wanted to soak in the water. She politely declined, so in the end, it was just Shi Rui and her mommy heading out for lunch.

Outside the South Gate of S University, there were many restaurants that were both delicious and affordable. Their online ratings were quite high, and some people even traveled there specifically to check them out.

Following the advice from the comment section, Shi Rui chose a “hay shop.” Upon arrival, she realized why so many people recommended it. The overall decor was fresh and elegant, the pace was slow and relaxing, and it felt genuinely comforting. Moreover, the prices weren’t expensive—perfect for students.

The only downside was the crowd. The wait time was incredibly long. Luckily, just as Shi Rui and her mommy arrived, a table of guests finished their meal. They successfully made it into the waiting area where they could sit down; otherwise, they would have had to wander around outside.

“I’ll message Auntie and my cousin. They’re taking the bus over now.”

After sending the message, Shi Rui opened a shopping app. As she scrolled, her eyes suddenly lit up. She slowly tucked her phone away, pressed her legs together, rested her hands on her lap, and let her eyes dart around—the universal look of someone who has something to say but is hesitating.

“What is it?” Shi Mommy saw right through her.

Shi Rui laughed bashfully, covering her mouth, then leaned over to hug her mommy’s arm and acted spoiled. “Mommy, I want a new dress.”

“What kind? Let Mommy see.”

At those words, Shi Rui immediately opened her phone and held it in front of her mother. It was a pink, sleeveless short dress with a simple and elegant style, but the price was anything but simple—

It cost 3,888 Carrots.

Shi Mommy frowned as she zoomed in on the picture. She scrolled a bit more and pointed to the same style in a different color. “Baby, you already have so many pink dresses. Why not try this white one? It’s very pretty and would look very elegant on you.”

“No, no!” Shi Rui shook her head vigorously and pleaded, “I just want this pink one.”

“Alright, alright.” Shi Mommy couldn’t win against her, so she bought it, picking up a new dress for the cousin while she was at it.

However, just as the payment went through, the algorithm pushed several more beautiful dresses. Ranking first was a water-green long gown that Luo Xiao had once worn to an event.

The dress flowed like waves against pale skin; the actress’s dark green eyes were like a clear, bottomless spring in a summer forest, radiating a sense of cool mystery.

As the little rabbit watched the screen, she suddenly slapped the phone against her chest. Her two big, fluffy ears popped out instantly, swaying atop her head.

So… so pwe-tty.

“What’s wrong?” Shi Mommy noticed her daughter’s reaction and asked with concern.

Shi Rui puffed out her red cheeks and whispered, “Mommy, Luo Xiao is so beautiful.”

“Of course she is, she’s an actress. But our Xiao Rui is very beautiful too,” Shi Mommy said, smiling as she stroked her daughter’s head.

“Customer number 187, you may come in to dine.” The waitress shouted at the door, but no one moved. She shouted again, “Customer number 187, your table is ready.”

Shi Rui looked around at the people in the room curiously. After a moment, she finally saw a woman wearing a baseball cap, sitting directly across from her and her mommy, stand up.

The woman had waist-length hair and a tall, slender figure. She wore water-green cargo pants and a form-fitting white short-sleeved shirt—a minimalist style.

Shi Rui couldn’t see her face clearly, but her intuition told her this must be a “cool and aloof” beauty.

“Customer 187.” The waitress verified the info and turned to lead the guest inside.

The woman kept her head slightly lowered. The oversized brim of her hat almost covered her entire face, leaving those green eyes half-hidden in the shadows.
