The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 11

Little Lark, Go Show Your Beauty

“Fine, then I’ll take it that you didn’t mean to get my attention. Your wound has broken skin these few days; keep it away from water and body wash. It might bruise…” Mi Ruian’s eyelids lowered slightly as she scanned Wei Jiangxue’s injury. She had intended to warn the other girl not to be frightened when she saw the state of it, as that collision would likely cause the area to turn blue and purple, requiring a period of rest before it faded.

Then she nearly forgot that Wei Jiangxue couldn’t see at all, so the words of caution remained unspoken.

“I really wasn’t trying to get your attention.” Wei Jiangxue was full of resentment. She had come to steal Mi Ruian’s clothes; why on earth would she want to increase her presence in the other’s eyes? Naturally, it would be best to be like a transparent person.

“OK, it seems your emotions have stabilized. Now, let’s talk. I can choose not to hold you accountable for your previous and current behavior of taking my clothes, but you must tell me why. As a disclaimer, my clothes are worth much more than you think. If you don’t tell the truth, I will submit the surveillance footage to the police, and by then, it will be too late even if you want to tell me.”

It must be said that Mi Ruian’s string of threats hit Wei Jiangxue exactly where it hurt.

How could she not know the consequences of being caught by the police? Being detained for a few days would absolutely affect her mission.

Solving this peacefully was for the best. Of course, as for the reason, Wei Jiangxue would have to use her brain to think carefully.

Eyelashes like butterfly wings trembled slightly; that face, with its undried tear tracks, looked all the more pitiful.

“I… I’m an anchor on the Xinghe platform. The clothes I wore were too poor and I was laughed at. I thought since you smell very fragrant, you must be someone who pays attention to the quality of life. Even if your funds are limited and you can only rent this kind of low-rent housing with me, you might have some insight into outfit coordination…”

It was true that Wei Jiangxue was an anchor on the Xinghe platform, and it was true that the rose-scented pheromones smelled lovely, but thinking Mi Ruian had good taste was nothing more than a lie told on the fly.

Nonsense—she was blind. She could only feel that Mi Ruian’s clothing materials felt good to the touch, but how could she see the effect of the other’s styling?

Of course, the eldest Omega daughter of the Mi family certainly had professionals to help design her wardrobe and set her outfits. But a mere Beta office worker living in a low-rent area would not receive such treatment.

“So you came to my place to see if there were any clothes you could wear?”

Mi Ruian finished the sentence for her.

Wei Jiangxue waited apprehensively for Mi Ruian’s judgment. She didn’t know if the other woman believed her or not.

This reason sounded a bit far-fetched, but she was a “vanity-driven Alpha” after all; Mi Ruian should be able to see that!

As long as Wei Jiangxue didn’t reveal her live stream ID, Mi Ruian would never guess that her public persona was actually a “poor but resilient little white flower,” who had no need to wear Mi Ruian’s high-quality, obviously expensive clothes.

The room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. After a long while, Wei Jiangxue finally heard Mi Ruian chuckle softly: “So I have an internet celebrity anchor for a roommate. You should have said so earlier. If it’s just borrowing clothes, just tell me in advance.”

Something’s wrong!

The hairs on Wei Jiangxue’s neck stood up. Why was Mi Ruian being so easy to talk to? Even if she believed the story, it shouldn’t be like this.

Sure enough, Mi Ruian had more to say.

“—I have one condition. You have to help me with something, too.”

“What kind of help?” Wei Jiangxue asked warily.

“Our company is recently developing a smart robot specifically designed for visually impaired people. If it’s convenient for you, you can come to our company as a tester to see how its actual application capability really is. This is related to the subsequent market promotion.” Mi Ruian spoke earnestly. “You know, some blind people are unwilling to interact with the outside world, but I happen to have you by my side. You’re even an anchor, which will help us promote this robot even more.”

Was the request actually this easy?

For a moment, Wei Jiangxue felt dazed and puzzled, but the situation Mi Ruian described was indeed true. Many visually impaired people find it difficult to travel, and over time, they might become even more reluctant to go out—let alone accept a corporate invitation to be a tester.

“What is your company’s robot used for?” Wei Jiangxue showed obvious interest.

Seeing this, Mi Ruian knew she had succeeded and began to explain in detail: “It is mainly to assist disabled people in their daily lives and travel. It was a new idea I proposed a while ago. Someone above thought it was very meaningful, so a plan prototype was formulated quickly. These days, we are busy making the first-generation robot. Once it is made and our professionals have tested it to ensure there are no problems, we will contact you for daily trial testing.”

Wei Jiangxue nodded as she listened, pretending she understood: “Then I promise you. And then, don’t pursue my responsibility anymore.”

“Deal,” Mi Ruian answered crisply.

After a moment of silence, Mi Ruian spoke again: “However, I think I might also be able to provide you with a little help. Didn’t you want to wear suitable clothes during your live stream? I can help you coordinate them, seeing as you recognize my taste so much.”

The corner of Wei Jiangxue’s mouth twitched. How could a blind person see what kind of taste Mi Ruian had…

But on the surface, she showed a joyful expression, as if she had been hit by money while walking on the street: “Really? Then thank you so much!”

“You’re welcome. Mutual benefit.”

[System 233: QAQ I’m sorry, Host. I was called away by a colleague this morning to rush-repair the energy system of the Book Transmigration Bureau. So I lost contact with you and only just recovered the signal. I see the mission is completed; it looks like things went quite smoothly on your end?]

233, who had been missing for most of the day, finally returned. As soon as it came back, this question poked at Wei Jiangxue’s sore spot.

Her face didn’t look very good, and her tone was weary: “Don’t even mention it. Why didn’t you tell me in advance? At least tell me Mi Ruian’s movements before issuing the task. She didn’t go to work at all today! I, a blind person! Went into her room! Right in front of her! Stole her things!”

Wei Jiangxue’s accusation was filled with blood and tears, making 233 feel increasingly guilty and uneasy.

[System 233: Then how did you get through it, Host?]

Wei Jiangxue truthfully informed the system of everything that happened after entering the room. After hearing it, the system remained silent for a long time.

[System 233: In other words, now the two of you, through a strange combination of circumstances, have become partners?]

Wei Jiangxue nodded heavily: “It shouldn’t affect our mission. I’ll just continue to bully her. It’s just that she seems to have some misunderstanding about me and doesn’t think I’m bullying her…”

[System 233: Forget it, as long as the mission can be completed.]

“By the way, Mi Ruian said her company has a robot designed for visually impaired people and invited me to be a tester. I’ve already agreed. Can you tell me what her company actually does?” Wei Jiangxue suddenly became curious about Mi Ruian’s career line.

This wasn’t confidential information, so after checking, 233 quickly told Wei Jiangxue.

At this stage, Mi Ruian was the founder of Real AI Technology Service Co., Ltd. She had always had a great interest in artificial intelligence. This company, founded out of interest, later became a solid force in Mi Ruian’s hands and the mainstay that supported her against the antagonist, Mi Feng.

Because Mi Ruian had always remained hidden behind the scenes, Mi Feng had no idea that this emerging technology company had Mi Ruian’s hand in it. He had even cooperated with Real in the early stages, contributing to its later growth.

And the visually impaired robot that Mi Ruian invited Wei Jiangxue to test did indeed exist, though it was supposed to appear a bit later. Besides that, there were robots designed for other types of disabled people, aimed at using high-tech AI to help vulnerable groups better integrate into the world.

233 mused: [Perhaps it’s because of your existence as her roommate that she was inspired.]

Half an hour before the live stream started, Wei Jiangxue went to Mi Ruian’s room, where the other woman was already waiting for her.

Probably seeing the melancholy and anxiety in Wei Jiangxue’s brow, Mi Ruian pressed her shoulder and said in a deep voice: “Trust my eyes. I won’t let you wear ugly clothes.”

Wei Jiangxue gave a forced smile. Of course she wouldn’t wear ugly clothes; 233 was watching from the side. With the system keeping watch, she would definitely not go to the live stream looking ugly.

It’s just… Wei Jiangxue realized she hadn’t told Mi Ruian her live stream account, and Mi Ruian didn’t seem interested in it. From the moment Mi Ruian said she would style Wei Jiangxue, she hadn’t inquired about her ID or the content of the stream.

This felt somewhat strange to Wei Jiangxue. Usually, human curiosity is very strong. Was Mi Ruian planning to ask her unexpectedly to prevent her from lying?

If Wei Jiangxue were to evaluate Mi Ruian now, she would say the other woman was a very “bad” person—looking upright on the outside, but full of schemes on the inside.

If the other person were a truly good person, she would have come over the first time Wei Jiangxue stole clothes and earnestly advised her not to do bad things.

It was impossible for a good person to calmly watch the entire process of Wei Jiangxue’s theft and only speak out playfully when she was about to succeed.

So, what bad intentions was Mi Ruian harboring by helping her coordinate clothes now?

It was hard for Wei Jiangxue not to use her narrowest thoughts to speculate on Mi Ruian’s intentions.

Unfortunately, she didn’t know that the Mi Ruian she was maliciously speculating about actually just wanted to dress her up.

Mi Ruian had wanted to do this ever since she first saw Wei Jiangxue secretly wearing her clothes.

“What is this?” Something jingling was wrapped around her neck by Mi Ruian. Wei Jiangxue frowned and grabbed the strap, which was woven with intricate patterns.

“A beautiful choker. Trust me, wearing it will make you look even more beautiful.” At some point, Mi Ruian had already moved extremely close to Wei Jiangxue. Her breath fell on the tip of the girl’s ear, causing bursts of tremors.

Mi Ruian smiled as she admired Wei Jiangxue’s ears turning red.

How perfect. Every inch of her body bore Mi Ruian’s style; no one could erase this mark.

Once the dressing was finished, she pushed Wei Jiangxue in front of the full-length mirror.

The intricately layered dance dress outlined Wei Jiangxue’s perfect figure, and the V-neck made the lines of her neck appear even more slender. That choker made of black lace gave Wei Jiangxue’s delicate face a hint of fragility and allure.

Mi Ruian suddenly thought that perhaps the choker could also be tied over Wei Jiangxue’s eyes.

In such a position, it would be very suitable for someone to kiss her through the lace.

She gazed infatuatedly at Wei Jiangxue in front of the mirror, becoming increasingly fascinated.

If only she could keep Wei Jiangxue as a collectible and hide her away.

Mi Ruian felt very regretful. She tucked Wei Jiangxue’s curly hair back and whispered into the ear of the beauty who could not see: “Go, show everyone your beauty, little lark.”
