The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 16

Why Are You Sleeping Together?!

Wei Jiangxue’s consciousness was hazy. She felt herself wrapped in something soft, her body sinking into it.

A familiar fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose, but her mind was a chaotic mess. It took her a long while to distinguish that this was the scent of roses.

The scent was so rich it felt as if she were lying in a field of roses, with several petals pressing intimately against her skin, attempting to dye Wei Jiangxue’s entire being with this aroma.

Wei Jiangxue took a few light breaths—it was very fragrant. Subconsciously, she moved toward the source of the flower scent and grabbed onto the largest, most fragrant flower.

The flower actually moved. After Wei Jiangxue reached out her “demon claws,” the flower trembled and tried to pull itself away from her grasp, muttering something under its breath.

Wei Jiangxue found it annoying. She waved her hand haphazardly and pressed her face closer to the flower, sinking into those warm, soft petals. “Be quiet…”

“You fellow… this is truly turning the world upside down…”

Mi Ruian gazed down at Wei Jiangxue, who was hugging her waist. The latter had buried her face in Mi Ruian’s abdomen, rubbing against it back and forth.

She probably mistook her for a bedtime plush toy, didn’t she? Mi Ruian had seen the interior of Wei Jiangxue’s room a few times before and knew there were several soft-looking plushies on the bed. Now, those toys were pushed to the side to make room for the bed’s owner to rest, and Mi Ruian had taken their place.

Thinking about how Wei Jiangxue was still pretending to be an Omega on the streaming platform, and her love for sweets…

Mi Ruian brushed away a stray lock of hair from Wei Jiangxue’s cheek. Her gaze fell on the girl’s face, her tone subtle: “You really don’t act like an Alpha.”

If Wei Jiangxue were awake, she might have retorted in her heart that she wasn’t an Alpha to begin with—just an ordinary girl dragged into a strange world to work.

Wei Jiangxue used her physical strength to show Mi Ruian whether she was an Alpha or not. Because she couldn’t pry the other person’s hands off, Mi Ruian was forced to stay in Wei Jiangxue’s room.

Today, Wei Jiangxue had also forgotten to ask for leave from her livestream. Mi Ruian could imagine the look on the fans’ faces when they found the room empty. Even if she wanted to wake Wei Jiangxue up to post a notice, it would be difficult for Wei Jiangxue to process anything in this drunken state.

“Have a good sleep.” Mi Ruian tucked the quilt around Wei Jiangxue. Since she was still being held by the latter, she simply lay down as well.

The plush toys occupied a portion of the bed, so Mi Ruian had to lie arm-to-arm with Wei Jiangxue.

The fragrance of freesia flooded her nose, and Mi Ruian felt a wave of sleepiness hit her for no reason.

It seemed that not only did Wei Jiangxue’s singing have a sedative effect, but her pheromones also had a special soothing effect on her.

Even though Mi Ruian wanted to continue thinking about the relationship between these things, she could hardly resist the urge to sleep.

Her eyelids were heavy, and she finally chose to follow her heart, falling into a dreamland.

Meanwhile, Wei Jiangxue, who had captured a giant rose in her dream, clung to Mi Ruian contentedly, a peaceful smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

Ten hours later, Wei Jiangxue was awakened by a deafening scream—

[System 233: Aaaaaaaaah—!]

“So noisy!” Wei Jiangxue practically bounced up from the bed. Her sleep after drinking had been very deep; her head didn’t hurt when she woke up, but she felt a bit dizzy.

She quickly sensed something was wrong. What was the heat source pressed tightly against her side?

Recalling her itinerary from yesterday, her memory cut off after that glass of sweet fruit wine. Wei Jiangxue’s body froze.

It was Mi Ruian who brought her back, right? It definitely was. Then the person beside her…

She tremblingly reached out to feel around, but her hand was intercepted halfway. A slightly raspy voice echoed in the bedroom: “You start screaming the moment you wake up in the morning?”

This was clearly Mi Ruian’s voice!

Immediately following that, System 233 screamed in collapse: [I was only gone for a day, how did you end up sleeping with the protagonist!]

“You, you, you! Why are we sleeping together?” Wei Jiangxue wanted to point her finger at her, but she was afraid of accidentally pointing at the wrong place and making Mi Ruian laugh, so she just clenched her fists, her heart racing.

“Tsk, you actually have amnesia after getting drunk? Do you want me to give you a verbal account of what happened last night, or do you want to think about it yourself?” Mi Ruian thought to herself that this Alpha roommate of hers was truly a handful—turning hostile the moment she woke up.

Who knows who it was last night that clung to her like an octopus, making it so Mi Ruian couldn’t sleep well the whole night.

“Does what you say have to be the truth? I don’t believe it!” Wei Jiangxue said unreasonably.

“Fine, fine, then let’s just say I took advantage of you.” Mi Ruian stood up, glancing at her sideways.

Wei Jiangxue’s face was pale at the moment, her expression full of disbelief and accusation, clearly condemning Mi Ruian for taking advantage of her while she was vulnerable.

Mi Ruian let out a light huff: “Don’t make that face. Please, you’re an Alpha. If someone tried to hurt you, your pheromones would have reacted long ago. What could I, a Beta, possibly do?”

Oh, right. Wei Jiangxue sensed her own pheromones. They didn’t show any discomfort; on the contrary…

That quiet fragrance was shamelessly clinging to Mi Ruian!

Rather than saying Mi Ruian was actively approaching her, it looked like Wei Jiangxue was the one craving Mi Ruian.

Wei Jiangxue’s face flushed red instantly. She stammered, “What if… well, anyway, nothing happened between us. You let me go, and I’ll be generous enough to let you go too.”

It was clearly her who had falsely accused the other, yet Wei Jiangxue made it sound like she was being incredibly magnanimous.

Mi Ruian stared at her and gave a light chuckle: “Sure.”

A gust of fragrant wind passed by her. Listening to the movements from Mi Ruian’s side, Wei Jiangxue judged that she should be straightening her clothes.

“Then I’ll be going…” Mi Ruian finished packing and greeted Wei Jiangxue, but as she spoke, her voice became weaker and weaker.

Wei Jiangxue naturally noticed this change. She subconsciously leaned toward Mi Ruian, her expression bewildered.

[System 233: Host! She suddenly leaned against the edge of the bed and crouched down. Her face is so pale! Is it low blood sugar?]

That was it—a setting that had been ignored all this time flashed through Wei Jiangxue’s mind.

She and the system had been doing tasks for so long that she had completely forgotten about Mi Ruian’s “sickly” setting.

It hadn’t been easy for Mi Ruian to bring her back to the low-rent apartment alone yesterday, and now, being urged to leave by Wei Jiangxue right after waking up, she was probably annoyed. When Mi Ruian stood up, she likely did so too quickly. A normal person could easily get low blood sugar from that, let alone the already physically weak Mi Ruian.

A sudden worry hung over Wei Jiangxue’s heart. Her hand fumbled at the edge of the bed and caught Mi Ruian’s arm: “Hey, are you okay?”

This was actually a redundant question because Mi Ruian didn’t even have the strength to respond to her, and 233 was screaming on the side that the protagonist’s face was as white as a ghost’s.

While speaking, Wei Jiangxue’s other hand didn’t stop. She quickly pulled a piece of candy out of the box at the head of the bed. She found the direction of Mi Ruian’s face and brushed over her cheekbones, jaw, bridge of the nose, and lips…

The candy was stuffed into Mi Ruian’s mouth. Fearing she might spit it out, Wei Jiangxue lightly covered her mouth.

Although she was blind, it wasn’t hard to discover from those touches that Mi Ruian was a rare beauty. Listening to Mi Ruian’s breathing gradually return to normal, Wei Jiangxue recalled the delicate skin and the perky nose her fingers had just touched.

A strange emotion flickered briefly before being tossed to the back of Wei Jiangxue’s mind: “How do you feel now?”

Mi Ruian’s long eyelashes lifted, her gaze toward Wei Jiangxue becoming subtle. Perhaps Wei Jiangxue hadn’t noticed it herself, but just to feed Mi Ruian the candy, she had also gotten off the bed and was kneeling beside Mi Ruian, holding her in her arms.

The freesia pheromones scrambled to enter Mi Ruian’s nasal cavity. This fragrance almost made her intoxicated.

“…Much better.” Mi Ruian only moved Wei Jiangxue’s hand away after she finished speaking.

Wei Jiangxue said blankly, “Good… You really are something, not telling me you have low blood sugar. You scared me to death! If something happened to you, don’t you dare blame it on me!”

Since the person was fine, Wei Jiangxue had to continue playing the role of the cannon fodder. She immediately began to shirk her responsibility, blaming all of the protagonist’s weakness just now on the protagonist herself.

Probably because she felt guilty, Wei Jiangxue completely failed to notice that her hand was still being held by Mi Ruian.

Taking advantage of the fact that Wei Jiangxue couldn’t see, Mi Ruian took her hand and used it to cup her own face.

The misty blue long hair was like the fragmented brilliance of moonlight, covered by a layer of hazy mist, making Wei Jiangxue’s face look even more surreal. Her out-of-focus eyes “looked” at Mi Ruian as if she were sincerely caring for her.

The heart in her chest beat powerfully; Mi Ruian even felt her Omega gland burning.

Ah, how strange. Could it be that her pheromone compatibility with Wei Jiangxue was very high? Mi Ruian’s ear tips quietly turned red and hot. She instinctively wanted to get closer to Wei Jiangxue.

This kind of reaction could only occur when an Omega met an Alpha with whom they had an extremely high compatibility rate.

She wanted Wei Jiangxue to “look” at her like this forever, with only herself by her side.

At this very moment, Mi Ruian clearly realized the strongest desire in her heart.

So that’s how it was… all the anomalies now had an explanation.

Why didn’t she loathe that Alpha scent of freesia? Because Wei Jiangxue was her fated one.

It was clearly something to be happy about, yet Mi Ruian forcibly suppressed that fondness radiating from the bottom of her heart. She mobilized all her senses to generate feelings of disgust. Her lower lip was bitten almost to the point of bleeding, and her free hand clenched so hard it trembled.

If she were to be controlled by pheromones and fall in love with someone she didn’t even know or understand, how would that be different from a beast controlled purely by instinct?

Wei Jiangxue? Her fated Alpha?

This was too ridiculous.

She should loathe and hate Wei Jiangxue! This person was no different from the thousands upon thousands of Alphas in this world!

The words Mi Feng had once said—”Just pick an Alpha to marry”—were like a thorn stuck in soft flesh. No matter what, it couldn’t be pulled out, causing a dull ache day and night.

What Alphas? Just a bunch of pretentious trash.

Wei Jiangxue suddenly heard Mi Ruian’s laughter, followed by the discomfort of her hand being gripped tightly.

She only then remembered that Mi Ruian hadn’t let go of her hand, so she quickly pulled it back, alertly distancing herself from the Mi Ruian who was laughing somewhat abnormally.

“…Hey, if you’re going to act crazy, go outside. Don’t throw a fit in my room.” Wei Jiangxue gave Mi Ruian’s shoulder a push.

“Alright.” Mi Ruian was unusually agreeable, her voice gentle, but it made the hair on Wei Jiangxue’s back stand up.
