The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 10

She Wants to Bully Mi Ruian!

Lullaby? Wei Jiangxue blinked innocently. Although she didn’t quite understand, she followed the request of her benefactor, “Mi.”

After the broadcast, she specifically asked 233 to find a spot with perfect lighting. The warm, creamy yellow overhead light in the bathroom shone down, making the tips of Wei Jiangxue’s hair look shimmering and fluffy. According to 233, this created a perfect “ambience.”

Once the angle was set, 233 began filming—

The woman on the screen had her eyes half-cast down, her thick, curly hair pinned behind her head. Her beige pajamas complemented her rosy lips and fair, pinkish skin, making her look like a ripe peach.

Mi Ruian lay on her side in bed. The beautiful humming drifted into her ears, brushing away the day’s anxieties.

She had asked the little streamer to sing the lullaby her mother used to sing to her. In truth, saying Wei Jiangxue captured the exact feeling of her mother wasn’t entirely accurate. Wei Jiangxue had her own style, but that style reminded Mi Ruian of “mother” in a universal sense—something relaxing and reassuring.

The Wei Jiangxue who acted as a streamer and the Wei Jiangxue she usually encountered seemed like two completely different people. One was cute and likable, while the other was always testing Mi Ruian’s boundaries.

No, she couldn’t say they were unrelated. Sometimes Wei Jiangxue thought she had provoked Mi Ruian, but in reality, Mi Ruian only found her secret delight a bit mischievous, like a little troublemaker.

The soft sensation left on her fingertips from before was almost forgotten. Mi Ruian subconsciously reached out, her fingertip stopping just before touching the beautiful face on the screen. She fell into deep thought.

This inexplicable, groundless attachment was a dangerous sign for the current Mi Ruian.

Having earned some money, it was only natural for a cannon fodder Alpha to go out and spend it lavishly.

Just as Wei Jiangxue was about to head out, System 233 suddenly announced another mission with a serious tone—just like the last time she stole Mi Ruian’s clothes, she had to repeat the experience.

“…No way, why is this mission refreshing again?” Wei Jiangxue was somewhat speechless.

But the system seemed busy with another emergency and didn’t have time to comfort her before going offline.

“So unreliable,” Wei Jiangxue grumbled. Helplessly, she felt her way toward Mi Ruian’s room.

She usually woke up around nine in the morning, and by that time, Mi Ruian had usually been gone for over two hours. It was clear how hardworking the protagonist was.

“Anyone who can keep waking up early every day after leaving school is truly ruthless. Someone like that will succeed at anything,” Wei Jiangxue muttered as she pushed open Mi Ruian’s bedroom door. In her hand, she held the sweater she hadn’t returned yet—it had been washed. If 233 hadn’t suddenly issued this mission, she would have almost forgotten she still had one of Mi Ruian’s garments.

With her previous experience of theft, finding things this time was much easier. She didn’t care what kind of clothes she grabbed; she just snagged a hanger and turned to leave.

“Hey.”

Another voice emerged in the room, making Wei Jiangxue flinch so hard she nearly dropped the clothes and the hanger.

That was clearly Mi Ruian’s voice!

Why hadn’t Mi Ruian gone to work yet at this hour? The system didn’t say a word; it was so irresponsible!

That was the first thought that popped into Wei Jiangxue’s head. Then she shook her head vigorously—no, no, she should be thinking about her current predicament!

She had been caught red-handed stealing clothes by Mi Ruian herself. What kind of lie could she possibly concoct to get out of this?

Wei Jiangxue silently put the items down, her other hand finding a swivel chair. She gently placed Mi Ruian’s clothes on it, then wracked her brain and began to babble: “Ahaha, wow, this room is certainly… a room. I thought it was my bedroom, I didn’t expect to walk into the wrong one. If you’re not busy, I’ll be going now?”

After receiving no response from Mi Ruian for a long time, Wei Jiangxue turned to leave. Because she was so nervous, she not only walked with stiff, synchronized limbs but also forgot that this room’s layout was a mirror image of her own. Her shin slammed directly into the corner of the bed.

She cried out in pain and tried to crouch down, but that only made her leg hurt more.

“Sit on my bed first.” Mi Ruian walked over quickly, supporting Wei Jiangxue and settling her onto the bed.

The hem of her loungewear pants was pulled up, revealing a visible red mark on her shin. A patch of skin had been scraped off, and blood was seeping out.

Mi Ruian immediately regretted scaring her. She knitted her fine brows and told Wei Jiangxue not to move while she went to the living room to get the first aid kit.

Wei Jiangxue gasped for air. After a moment, her hand reached toward the dull ache on her leg, only to be caught halfway by Mi Ruian.

“Don’t touch it, let me handle it.” Mi Ruian’s cool, clear voice was effective, and Wei Jiangxue’s mind cleared a bit.

The moisture in the corners of her eyes made her uncomfortable. She raised a hand to wipe them, her eyes staring helplessly forward.

Being blind was truly a nuisance. During the first few days after Wei Jiangxue regained consciousness, she was always bruising herself in this rental house, and going out was even more of a hassle. Even with a blind cane, some tactile pavings would be blocked by clutter or suddenly end. For a blind person, such an environment was extremely unfavorable and filled with danger.

That was why when 233 mentioned that even a cannon fodder needed a job, she had asked if she could stay indoors.

A world without sight was exceptionally quiet. Sometimes, Wei Jiangxue needed to chat with 233 just to fall asleep.

The cannon fodder Alpha’s lifestyle was extremely luxurious, which benefited Wei Jiangxue. The phone she inherited supported accessibility features for the visually impaired, so she didn’t need to save up for more advanced electronics.

Most of the time, Wei Jiangxue didn’t rely on the voice assistant on the phone because she had 233 to guide her. Checking maps, reading or writing comments—all could be handled by 233. 233 could even warn her if there were obstacles ahead or if a car was turning right at an intersection…

So, waking up blind after the car accident didn’t plunge Wei Jiangxue into too much sorrow. Even if she felt sad occasionally, she could pull herself together.

But now, 233 was busy with work and who knew when it would return. She had accidentally injured herself, and the mission was definitely a failure…

Why did all these misfortunes find her?

Emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly surged. Wei Jiangxue’s nose twinged, her eyes filled with warm liquid, and then—patter, patter—the tears fell.

The hands cleaning her wound suddenly stopped. After a moment, Wei Jiangxue heard Mi Ruian speak stiffly: “…Don’t cry. I won’t cause trouble for you. Walking into the wrong room is normal. Maybe one day when I’m not clear-headed, I’ll walk into the wrong room too.”

Wei Jiangxue had only been sobbing quietly at first, but hearing this, she cried even louder.

From Mi Ruian’s tone, it was obvious she didn’t believe a word of that nonsense reason; she was just saying whatever to coax her because she saw her crying.

Please, she was here to steal clothes! Why was the protagonist being so kind? It only made Wei Jiangxue feel more embarrassed.

Even so, her emotions couldn’t be suppressed so easily. Wei Jiangxue covered her face and wept. Mi Ruian sped up the wound treatment, and once finished, she sat down beside Wei Jiangxue.

Wei Jiangxue felt the bed sink slightly; a source of warmth was right next to her.

Knowing that Mi Ruian was watching her while she was in such an ugly state, Wei Jiangxue didn’t care about the damn mission anymore and started wailing.

Anyway, the cannon fodder Alpha she was playing was an unreasonable person, so it was perfectly logical for her to have a big cry, right?

Even at a time like this, Wei Jiangxue actually had the mind to think about character OOC (Out of Character) levels. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Mi Ruian was starting to feel a bit frantic. She hadn’t encountered someone as purely “stupid” as Wei Jiangxue in a long time. The conspirators around her and the enemies she faced were all deep-seated, hiding daggers behind smiles. Mi Ruian never dared to underestimate them; instead, she imagined them as being as cunning as possible to guard against any traps.

Someone who couldn’t even hide their bad intentions when faced with a tiny scare was, in Mi Ruian’s view, extremely rare.

Similarly, she lacked experience in dealing with such people. Facing the non-stop crying of Wei Jiangxue, the most Mi Ruian could do was helplessly offer a few words like “stop crying,” only to hear the other person’s voice get even louder.

Mi Ruian gritted her teeth and decided to bring out a bigger revelation to scare her: “Stop crying. I’ve known for a long time that you come to my room to steal clothes; I installed surveillance. Last time, I also knew you took my sweater and ring, but I intentionally didn’t tell you. I was teasing you to see your reaction; I thought it was interesting. I didn’t ask for them back later because I don’t like my things being touched by others, so I simply didn’t want them anymore.”

Wei Jiangxue’s crying halted. she lifted her face in disbelief: “You… you knew all along!”

Mi Ruian hadn’t expected much, but Wei Jiangxue actually stopped crying.

She let out a long sigh and met those teary, blind eyes. Wei Jiangxue looked pitiful like this. If Mi Ruian didn’t know that Wei Jiangxue looked down on her and was usually so arrogant, she might have felt a surge of pity and tenderness.

“Yes, I knew everything. From the first day I moved in, you’ve been looking for trouble. Later on, you didn’t even bother acting, taking every chance to taunt and mock me. Even though the level of it was terrible—like children playing house—I could tell you just wanted to provoke me, right?”

Looking back on her life since moving in, Mi Ruian was surprised to find she could remember every one of Wei Jiangxue’s sneers and her expression at the time.

Being exposed, Wei Jiangxue stammered: “Provoke you? You think too highly of yourself!”

Mi Ruian wasn’t angry; her tone was actually quite peaceful: “Fine, you didn’t want to provoke me. Then you want to live in peace with me?”

This part wasn’t in the script! Wei Jiangxue was stunned: “I didn’t want to get along with you either…”

“Mm-hmm. You didn’t want to have a good relationship with me, yet you ran in here to steal my clothes and secretly sniff the scent in my room.” Mi Ruian didn’t sound like she believed Wei Jiangxue at all; she even started exposing her embarrassing secrets.

” I said I didn’t!” Wei Jiangxue found the situation spiraling out of control. The way Mi Ruian framed her actions made it sound like she actually wanted contact with her, with a hint of perversion mixed in.

Only Wei Jiangxue and 233 knew that they weren’t here to be friends with Mi Ruian!

She wanted to be the cannon fodder Alpha who bullied Mi Ruian!

A presence that Mi Ruian should loathe, resent, and want to suppress and retaliate against!
