The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 12

“Where did the scent of perfume on you come from?”

“Little Lark?”

What an odd nickname. Wei Jiangxue was just about to look into it when 233 urged her, saying the broadcast time was approaching and she needed to hurry back to her room to prepare.

Wei Jiangxue held her heavy skirt with one hand and was led by Mi Ruian with the other. The latter stopped at the bedroom door.

Seeing that Mi Ruian didn’t have much desire to pry into her live-streaming room, Wei Jiangxue breathed a sigh of relief. She told her she was starting work and tactfully saw her off.

“Alright, call me when you’re finished. It’s not convenient to move around in that dress,” Mi Ruian’s voice was as pleasant as ever, sounding like she was in a good mood.

Wei Jiangxue nodded. Soon, she heard the footsteps receding and the door being closed.

In today’s live stream, the frequency of gifts from the audience was significantly higher. In particular, the benefactor “Mi” sent over 200,000 yuan worth of gifts during the four-hour session.

While summarizing the stream with 233, Wei Jiangxue felt a sense of trance at the final amount she would receive. In reality, the money she was currently making was mostly thanks to Mi’s efforts; the other viewers provided only small change.

Today, for some reason, it was as if these people were overstimulated; gifts were showered like water as if money meant nothing. During her review, Wei Jiangxue felt it must be due to the styling Mi Ruian had done for her.

233 had specifically used a close-up of her face for the live stream cover to attract traffic. The benefactor Mi was very interested in the specially dressed-up Wei Jiangxue and threw in several thousand yuan in gifts, asking her to specifically stand up and turn around so everyone in the room could admire her.

Although Mi didn’t say much and mostly just sent money, Wei Jiangxue felt she must be very satisfied.

No wonder famous influencers and stars have their own dedicated styling teams… Wei Jiangxue began to wonder if she should find one for herself in the future, but that would surely be expensive. Better wait until she had more money.

Beep beep— Wei Jiangxue’s phone received a text. 233 was still busy calculating the bills, so Wei Jiangxue let the voice assistant read it out.

[Mi Ruian: How was it? Was the stream successful today? The styling I did wasn’t bad, right? You can ask me to help you dress up in the future.]

Wei Jiangxue’s heart stirred. Right, she really could entrust this to Mi Ruian… but given their relationship, Wei Jiangxue fell into deep thought.

When 233 finished working and saw her hesitating, the system simply made the decision for her: [Just ask Mi Ruian for help. She actively volunteered herself, so don’t overthink it. Just keep up your character in your daily interactions—continue to suppress and bully her.]

“Sometimes the two of us are truly equally cold-hearted,” Wei Jiangxue said, yet she honestly picked up her skirt and went to Mi Ruian’s room to give her the answer in person.

Mi Ruian opened the door to welcome her in. Before she could even invite her to sit, Wei Jiangxue said bluntly, “I admit I treated you poorly before, but you said earlier that as long as I agreed to be a tester, those things would be wiped clean. The response to the styling you did was good, and I do want to continue collaborating with you. But since you brought it up yourself, do you want something else from me?”

“I ran into some trouble outside and can’t go to the company for the time being, so I have no income right now. You know the company just started and isn’t well-established. I thought it would be best if I could work from home, and I’m quite good at doing styling for others,” Mi Ruian explained her current situation nonchalantly.

“You didn’t offend someone, did you?” Wei Jiangxue became alert upon hearing this.

In fact, she already knew from 233 why Mi Ruian wasn’t going out—to avoid Mi Feng’s scouts. Recently, Mi Feng seemed anxious and had increased the number of people looking for her.

Thus, Mi Ruian stayed in the low-rent housing. Any future outings would likely involve being fully disguised so no one could recognize her true appearance.

But Wei Jiangxue had to pretend she didn’t know. As a “cannon fodder” character who bullied the weak but feared the strong, once she learned her roommate might have provoked a powerful force, she would worry about being implicated herself.

“Don’t worry, it’s not that dangerous. I’m just staying home; those people won’t trouble you. You just need to keep your mouth shut.” Mi Ruian stepped closer, lightly pressing her finger against Wei Jiangxue’s lips.

She watched with satisfaction as Wei Jiangxue’s crow-feather lashes trembled before she moved her hand to help unfasten the ties on Wei Jiangxue’s dress. “So it’s a deal? You pay me, and I’ll do your styling. Four thousand a month is fine.”

Wei Jiangxue considered the deal; paying a salary was the simplest part. The price Mi Ruian offered was already very low. After thinking it over, she didn’t try to lower the price further.

A numbing itch came from her waist. Wei Jiangxue wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt Mi Ruian’s fingertips were intentionally or unintentionally brushing against her skin.

Wei Jiangxue suddenly grabbed the fair, slender fingers. Mi Ruian looked up at her in confusion.

Wei Jiangxue’s chest heaved a few times as she gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll take the clothes off myself. I agree to your terms.”

Mi Ruian didn’t understand what had gotten into her. She stood up and crossed her arms, watching with amusement as Wei Jiangxue slowly fumbled to find the way to shed the dance dress.

Out of politeness, she looked away and only turned back when she heard Wei Jiangxue call her a while later.

Wei Jiangxue had changed back into the loungewear she had left at Mi Ruian’s place. Thinking of Mi Ruian’s help, she uncomfortably raised her chin slightly: “Um… today, thank you.”

“You’re welcome. As long as the salary is paid on time, I will serve you wholeheartedly,” Mi Ruian said seriously.

Wei Jiangxue felt for sure that the expression on this person’s face was full of playfulness, but she had no evidence. She could only twitch the corners of her mouth and grope her way back to her bedroom.

Behind her, Mi Ruian’s gaze was deep, measuring every inch of Wei Jiangxue’s body.

Wei Jiangxue’s vigilance wasn’t wrong. Mi Ruian had indeed not been thinking of anything “good” just now; she was greedily staring at Wei Jiangxue’s face, making no effort to hide her interest.

How could there be such a person? Just standing there made it impossible for her to look away.

What’s more, Mi Ruian had easily gained the opportunity to get close to her. While styling Wei Jiangxue, her heart felt incredibly full; her sweet rose pheromones almost broke through the defenses she had built over the years, nearly entangling themselves all over Wei Jiangxue.

She rejected this feeling of focusing so much on someone else that she almost forgot herself, yet she was uncontrollably intoxicated by it.

If only Wei Jiangxue could see her. Perhaps seeing these ugly expressions she revealed, she would want to flee, and Mi Ruian could take the chance to calm down.

What a pity, what a pity—Wei Jiangxue was completely unaware of it.

Whether it was good luck recently or not, Wei Jiangxue’s styling was now taken care of, and someone had even volunteered for the position of moderator in her live stream.

After hearing the message from Mi, Wei Jiangxue was a bit hesitant. Letting a big benefactor act as her moderator felt like a waste of talent.

But the system 233 persuaded her to agree: [Hehe, this way I can save some energy. She can monitor the comments, and I can focus on other websites to bring in more traffic for you~]

Wei Jiangxue ruthlessly exposed its true intention: “You just want to go play games.”

[Oh my, at least let me keep some of my secrets~]

However, considering 233 was a system holding multiple roles, it was indeed exhausted. So Wei Jiangxue agreed to Mi’s proposal, letting Mi work part-time as a moderator to help block and report unfriendly comments.

A new official brings new rules. Wei Jiangxue heard from 233 about a series of measures Mi took after taking over the room. First, she set up forbidden words, then she blocked the low-lifes who constantly switched accounts to insult the visually impaired. As for the haters, Mi showed no mercy—not only blocking them but also hiring people to argue back…

With these methods, Wei Jiangxue’s live-streaming room had been much quieter lately. Despite this, Mi never forgot to send gifts during the streams.

Wei Jiangxue really wanted to ask: are rich people always this bored? She and 233 hadn’t seen benefactors in any other streamers’ rooms managing such tasks, but seeing Mi’s reaction, the other party seemed to quite enjoy doing these things.

So Wei Jiangxue made up her mind that when she sent out gifts via lottery later, she would send Mi more items, such as handwritten letters, homemade cards, or handmade gifts. Even though Mi didn’t lack money, Wei Jiangxue’s sincerity had to be shown.

Mi didn’t require her to write long, emotional messages. On the first day, Wei Jiangxue tried sending some sticky-sweet words, but Mi’s reaction was unusually cold. So after that, Wei Jiangxue reduced the frequency of such messages and instead had 233 help take photos, sending the beautiful ones to Mi. Upon receiving them, Mi would usually ask if she had sent them to anyone else. After receiving a negative answer, Mi would transfer a sum of money, labeled as a voluntary gift.

Wei Jiangxue: Grateful for the benefactor’s gift!

Besides all this, Wei Jiangxue could clearly feel that she seemed to be becoming famous. A few days ago, when 233 mentioned that one of her clips had gained a million likes online, Wei Jiangxue didn’t feel it was real; she just thought it was an insignificant string of numbers.

She didn’t understand what this data could bring her, only that 233 had recently been acting as her assistant, negotiating with several brand managers. After that, several packages would arrive for her to help advertise.

Sometimes 233 would suddenly say something seemingly random: [Mi Ruian’s brain is really sharp, finding you to test the Ri-er robot for the visually impaired.]

Wei Jiangxue didn’t understand and wanted to ask more, but the sound of several girls screaming rang in her ears.

Those girls crowded around Wei Jiangxue like chirping little birds. Wei Jiangxue couldn’t see them; she could only hear their suppressed, excited voices—

“Xuexue! Xuexue!” “I actually ran into you! I was just wandering around the IP location where you live…” “Can I take a picture with you?”

…The noisy voices left Wei Jiangxue a bit dazed. 233 immediately helped her clarify the current situation.

Wei Jiangxue was currently at a mall to shop and spend money, as she had to spend lavishly to maintain her character persona.

Because the clips 233 edited had gone viral, they attracted fans. Some of them had money and time and would try to meet the streamer they admired and loved. These girls surrounding Wei Jiangxue came for that reason, though they weren’t crazy enough to stalk her; at most, they just wanted to live in the same city as the person they liked.

During the stream, Wei Jiangxue had lied and said she was an Omega, and these fans were also Omegas. 233 carefully masked any traces of Alpha pheromones for Wei Jiangxue and then directed her to interact with them.

[System 233: Just say anything, give appropriate hugs and handshakes, and finally take a photo. They are very happy right now; you should like them as much as they like you.]

This pure, shining love from fans toward an idol made Wei Jiangxue feel a bit lost. She dizzily listened to each girl’s wish and interacted with them one by one. By the end, she felt as if her head were covered in a thick layer of frosting; she had to think deeper when listening to people talk, otherwise, the words would be like a passing breeze, unable to leave a deep impression.

The pleasure of being pursued and praised swept through her whole body. After saying goodbye and taking a taxi home, she felt as if she were walking on cotton candy, light as a feather.

It wasn’t until the security door hit the frame with a loud bang and the neighbor next door shouted in anger that Wei Jiangxue snapped out of it.

Her blood cooled instantly. Wei Jiangxue clutched her fists in a daze, feeling the soreness in her limbs.

She discovered that she liked—and very much enjoyed—this profession where she could receive endless love.

The sound of a door opening came from the direction of Mi Ruian’s bedroom. That Omega saw her return and said softly, “You have a live stream today too, right? Come over for your styling—”

Mi Ruian’s voice suddenly shifted: “Where did the scent of perfume on you come from?”
