The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 20.2

Mi Ruian had heard of some of her noble Omega classmates’ scandalous deeds; they would keep Alphas they took a fancy to in their manors for pleasure.

Although she hadn’t done such a thing before and had previously considered it improper behavior, at this moment, looking at Wei Jiangxue’s face, this absurd idea rose in Mi Ruian’s heart.

Could she also keep Wei Jiangxue caged?

Suddenly, a soft touch came from the top of her head. Mi Ruian was forced to stop thinking and looked over in disbelief—

Wei Jiangxue seemed completely unaware of how out of line her action had been. She simply followed her heart, kissed Mi Ruian’s hair, and then tucked her in, leaving a simple sentence: “I’ll sing you a song.”

This Mi Ruian was simply too much like Wei Meng. Wei Jiangxue inevitably poured a bit of her care for her sister, Wei Meng, onto her.

Although she didn’t know why Mi Ruian was afraid of windy and thundery weather, Wei Jiangxue had experience in dealing with such things. Whenever her sister Wei Meng came to say she was afraid, Wei Jiangxue would hold her in her arms, kiss her forehead, and tell stories or sing songs to lull her to sleep.

So, facing Mi Ruian, perhaps she could use the same method?

Wei Jiangxue thought so and did it naturally, but only after a few seconds did she remember that their relationship wasn’t one where they could do such things.

However, the Mi Ruian in her arms only stiffened for a few seconds and didn’t have any further reaction. Wei Jiangxue couldn’t guess her thoughts, so she braced herself and continued to sing a lullaby for Mi Ruian as she had said.

She had sung this song to the audience in the live-streaming room many times; she knew it so well she could hum it by instinct.

“The moonlight shines on the earth, no need to worry about the arrival of monsters, Mama will keep you safe, dear child, please sleep peacefully…”

“Mi” seemed to especially love listening to this one; when they contacted each other privately, she would specifically ask Wei Jiangxue to sing this song.

Wei Jiangxue’s mind wandered as her palm lightly patted Mi Ruian’s back. She felt the other person relaxing bit by bit and then falling into a dream.

After confirming that Mi Ruian was asleep, Wei Jiangxue’s voice became quieter and quieter until she was completely silent. She had wanted to return to her original spot to sleep, but her sleeve was being held tightly by Mi Ruian; any movement would surely wake her up. So Wei Jiangxue simply lay with Mi Ruian, their hair intertwined.

Outside, the thunder grew distant, and the sound of rain continued.

[System 233: Why do you want to know what Mi Ruian looks like? Fine, I’ll find a way to project it into your mind.]

Early in the morning, 233 was summoned by Wei Jiangxue. After the latter returned to her bedroom—which was still leaking—she hesitated for a long time before saying she hadn’t seen the protagonist Mi Ruian’s appearance yet. The subtext was to ask 233 for help.

“Thank you.” Seeing that it didn’t dig for the root cause, Wei Jiangxue let out a long sigh of relief.

Wei Jiangxue didn’t understand why such an idea had suddenly popped up. Perhaps it was because, after being together for so long, she finally had a desire to explore Mi Ruian?

Since it wouldn’t affect the mission’s progress, 233 didn’t record its host’s whim in the mission file, but silently retrieved a projection of Mi Ruian and simulated it in Wei Jiangxue’s brain.

It chattered while displaying: [There is also a mission to do today. The new roommate has actually insisted on sharing the rent with the cannon fodder for such a long time. The cannon fodder is very puzzled and also feels annoyed. So, the cannon fodder decides to use a small trick to drive away the new roommate, so as to enjoy the whole set of housing alone. As for the landlord’s opinion… hmph, the cannon fodder doesn’t care.]

[So, your mission is to dress up as a ghost to scare Mi Ruian. Of course, you definitely won’t scare her away tonight; the protagonist has to stay here for a while longer. So just do it for show. Pay attention to your own safety during the mission…]

The system was nagging with concern, but it didn’t hear Wei Jiangxue’s obedient response as usual.

Only then did it divert some of its spirit from the data stream to pay attention to its host. It saw Wei Jiangxue sitting at the table with a blank expression. Never mind 233’s previous words; she probably hadn’t even heard its friendly reminder!

[System 233: Host?]

[System 233: Host!!!]

233 almost roared to call Wei Jiangxue, finally bringing her soul back.

[System: What are you doing? Why did you suddenly zone out?]

“…I watched the projection of Mi Ruian you sent over and unintentionally spaced out.” Wei Jiangxue lowered her eyelashes, heat rising to her earlobes and cheeks.

“You never told me Mi Ruian looked like that…”

233 was dumbfounded. What did Mi Ruian look like? It vaguely remembered she was very good-looking, but recently it had been given some work by other departments and was busy to death. Moreover, looking at its host Wei Jiangxue’s face all day, it really couldn’t remember Mi Ruian.

[System 233: Hey, aren’t you both pretty? Didn’t you get stunned by your own beauty when you looked in the mirror before?]

Wei Jiangxue defended herself: “This is different!”

She couldn’t win the argument with 233, so she simply pressed her cold hands against her cheeks to cool herself down.

But her brain was not under her control; the projection previously released by 233 reappeared in her memory—

233 had probably randomly selected a frame, which happened to be the scene when Wei Jiangxue and Mi Ruian slept together last night.

The Omega, as fragile as glazed glass, lay quietly beside Wei Jiangxue. Her side profile was beautiful, with a heroically straight nose and eyebrows that seemed slightly furrowed, naturally invoking a desire to protect her. Her lips were very thin, the pink color almost non-existent.

With black hair and snowy skin, she looked like a princess beloved by everyone in a fairy tale. Her appearance perfectly matched the definition of a high-quality Omega that Wei Jiangxue had seen before.

The fluorescent-colored code occasionally moving on the projection made Mi Ruian look even more fragile, as if any touch could destroy her.

But such an Omega was someone who, in the story told by System 233, would become a future business tycoon whom no one dared to underestimate.

And Wei Jiangxue was fortunate enough to see the Omega who hadn’t grown up yet—the young and immature Mi Ruian.

Wei Jiangxue used to think that the “sickly beauty” setting introduced by 233 was not the kind of “weak willow in the wind” beauty understood in a broad sense, because Mi Ruian’s performance in front of her was always relatively calm and capable.

Based on Mi Ruian’s words and deeds, Wei Jiangxue had broken down “sickly beauty” herself, thinking that “sickly” referred to Mi Ruian’s own pheromone illness, and “beauty” meant she was beautiful.

Other than that, in Wei Jiangxue’s eyes, Mi Ruian should have nothing to do with being “sickly and weak.”

Even though the background introduction said Mi Ruian’s body was weak due to treatment at a nursing home, Wei Jiangxue couldn’t see it at all…

After having a more real feeling, Wei Jiangxue understood that Mi Ruian’s sickly setting was not just a few scrawled lines of code. By the bedside where she had rested last night, the cabinet was filled with many medicine bottles whose effects Wei Jiangxue didn’t understand. They were of different sizes, piled up like a small mountain.

Mi Ruian probably couldn’t remember the doses and frequencies of so many medicines either, so there were sticky notes with dense handwriting next to them.

According to 233’s explanation, the protagonist Mi Ruian had to take those medicines every day; she was literally a “medicine jar.”

Wei Jiangxue even doubted if Mi Ruian could get full just by eating those medicines.

The guilt that had been forcefully suppressed finally surged out together. Wei Jiangxue held her forehead and muttered to herself: “I have actually been bullying such a person all this time. These missions are too absurd. I look so vicious… I’m really sorry, but for my family, I have to do this. I’m sorry.”

233 was afraid she would quit and quickly comforted her: [Host is a very good person! Not vicious at all! This is all for the mission requirements. Don’t worry, these small setbacks won’t defeat the protagonist; they are all necessary paths for her growth!]

[System 233: Host must remember that you are just a tiny passer-by in the protagonist’s life, a whetstone for a certain small stage. She will at most remember that she once laid low here when she was young and shared a room with an Alpha whose name she can’t remember. And after you finish the mission, you can leave this world; a brand new life is waiting for you.]

“I will complete the mission well.” Wei Jiangxue clenched her fist. “Continue talking about today’s mission.”

[System 233: Okay! Simply put, the host needs to dress up as a ghost to scare the protagonist in the middle of the night, trying to force the protagonist to move out of the low-rent housing.]

Wei Jiangxue silently digested this mission requirement and began to conceive a plan in her head.

The first step of pretending to be a ghost: find a white bedsheet.

The second step: cut two holes in the sheet to serve as openings for the eyes. (ps: since she is blind, this step can be skipped)

The third step: put on the bedsheet in the middle of the night and go crawl onto Mi Ruian’s bed!

Wei Jiangxue searched her bedroom but couldn’t find a suitable bedsheet. Just as she was about to sacrifice her favorite ultra-soft white bath towel, Wei Jiangxue remembered there were beddings provided by the landlord in the cabinet of the small living room. They were pure white, perfectly matching the plan’s requirements.

She immediately went to the living room to find the item, but because she was in too much of a hurry, her foot slipped. Wei Jiangxue didn’t have time to avoid it. As her body tilted, she even had the presence of mind to guess that she would hit a corner of the coffee table.

But this time, what came from her leg was not sharp pain, but at most a little dull ache.

Something soft had wrapped around those sharp edges, sparing Wei Jiangxue from injury.

Wei Jiangxue stood up blankly while leaning on the coffee table and reached out to touch the place that had poked her several times before. Now, it was all covered with thick sponge pads.

233 had suggested that Wei Jiangxue buy some foam online, and it would help wrap those sharp corners that easily caused injuries. But Wei Jiangxue had rejected it; she felt that with 233’s guidance, and given that she didn’t go out often and the house was so small, she would get familiar with it by walking around more, so there was no need to waste money.

So, who had taken the initiative to add these protections to the rental house?

The answer was obvious.

“How is it? Now even if you bump into the furniture, you won’t get bruised.”

As if she had heard the noise Wei Jiangxue made outside, Mi Ruian’s bedroom door opened.

Wei Jiangxue really doesn’t know how to take care of herself.

A few hours ago, Mi Ruian, who had a good sleep, got up very early and was in a good mood, so she decided to find something to do.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen the bruises on Wei Jiangxue’s legs, but she used to feel it had nothing to do with her, so she chose to ignore them.

But now, Wei Jiangxue had become an Alpha suitable for being kept in a manor in Mi Ruian’s eyes. Even if Wei Jiangxue herself was unaware, Mi Ruian had routinely stamped her as her property.

The most favored collectible in Mi Ruian’s eyes should always be beautiful and clean, not covered in scars.

Mi Ruian thought very clearly: she had attention and concern for Wei Jiangxue rooted in pheromones, and there might even be a bit of liking.

Recognizing her emotions early helped Mi Ruian position Wei Jiangxue correctly.

If Mi Feng knew that a low-status Alpha with high compatibility existed beside her, Mi Ruian’s future days would not be pleasant.

If possible, Mi Ruian didn’t want to stand on the opposite side of Wei Jiangxue.

Especially under someone else’s control.
