The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 21

Get a Little Closer to Me

Was the task really completed just like that? This should have been a good thing, but the little ghost was still immersed in that unbelievable accident just now. She was so ashamed and embarrassed that her entire body had frozen stiff, leaving her no room to pay attention to the notification tone from System 233.

A hand reached through the gap in the bedsheets, accurately pinching Wei Jiangxue’s cheek.

The cool fingers contrasted sharply with the burning heat of her cheek. The owner of that hand probably hadn’t expected Wei Jiangxue’s face to be so hot; she paused visibly, then squeezed the cheek again as if reluctant to let go.

Steam seemed to rise from her skin as Wei Jiangxue’s blood rushed to her head. She didn’t understand why Mi Ruian had suddenly touched her face.

The sheet covering Wei Jiangxue was lifted, and the true form of the “ghost” was immediately exposed to the air, completely unobstructed.

Under the specially tailored fabric, her misty blue long hair glowed white under the moonlight. Wei Jiangxue’s long eyelashes were trembling violently. Although she couldn’t see anyway, she didn’t dare open her eyes.

It was as if by closing her eyes, she wouldn’t have to face the mess she had caused.

233 was still screaming in her head, asking Wei Jiangxue what had happened and why the protagonist Mi Ruian’s heart rate had suddenly spiked to an abnormal level.

Wei Jiangxue’s mind was a mess, and she didn’t notice it at all. If she had heard it, she probably would have just collapsed and shouted: “What happened? I just fell and hit my face against Mi Ruian’s chest! It made her so angry her heart rate went up!”

She really is thin-skinned.

It was just an accidental bump into another roommate’s chest. A kind roommate wouldn’t scold Wei Jiangxue, so why panic?

Mi Ruian sighed in her heart, her eyes fixed on Wei Jiangxue’s flushed cheeks. For some reason, her teeth felt a bit itchy.

But if she abruptly bit Wei Jiangxue’s cheek, the other girl would probably be terrified?

Clearly, Mi Ruian was the one who had been woken up and should be angry, yet here she was, conversely worrying about this “little thief” who had ill intentions and had sneaked into someone else’s room.

Mi Ruian looked down at Wei Jiangxue and deliberately said in a cold voice, “Why are you here? You’d better give me a reasonable explanation.”

Hearing this, Wei Jiangxue was like a wind-up doll that had finally regained its ability to move. She flailed her arms and legs, trying to stand up.

But her body, having just fallen, wasn’t following orders. Wei Jiangxue’s limbs were exceptionally uncoordinated. After a long struggle, she only managed to end up sitting on top of Mi Ruian.

Around Wei Jiangxue’s wrist was the moonlight-blue silk ribbon that Mi Ruian had carefully tied earlier that evening. Its color was elegant, and its ends swayed gently with Wei Jiangxue’s frantic movements, brushing against Mi Ruian’s hand.

The beautiful arc seemed to be beckoning Mi Ruian, enticing her to fall into a sweet trap.

Mi Ruian did, for a moment, act on instinct. She hooked the end of the ribbon, and it unraveled with the pull.

A sliver of moonlight was left in Mi Ruian’s hand.

And another sliver of moonlight, the kind that made one want to give chase, was pouncing into her arms.

The ambiguous scent of roses enveloped Wei Jiangxue. She couldn’t tell if this was Mi Ruian’s pheromones or the fragrance she usually used.

It shouldn’t be pheromones, right? Wei Jiangxue recalled that if Mi Ruian released her pheromones, Mi Ruian would probably be the only person in the room capable of normal movement.

She tried her best to ignore the overpowering fragrance, opening her eyes to “look” blankly at Mi Ruian, saying innocently, “I…”

“My bed hasn’t been tidied up yet! So I wanted to find you to share half the bed again!”

Wei Jiangxue thought quickly and found a reason that wasn’t too far-fetched.

She had her own little scheme, deliberately skipping over the fact that she had fallen and bumped into Mi Ruian, waking her up, in an attempt to muddle through.

Inside the room, the breathing of both people was very light—one was out of guilt, and the other seemed naturally quiet.

After a long while, Wei Jiangxue finally heard Mi Ruian say reluctantly, “Fine, but I don’t want to move the blankets out again. Let’s just share one for now.”

This wasn’t a big deal. Wei Jiangxue waved her hand to indicate she didn’t mind, as long as Mi Ruian agreed.

She secretly rejoiced at her cleverness, went back to change into her pajamas, washed up, and returned to Mi Ruian’s side.

Once she was lying down comfortably, Wei Jiangxue heard the person beside her reach out and turn off the light.

She closed her eyes peacefully, but a few seconds later, she suddenly snapped them open in a daze—Wait, when Mi Ruian turned on the light just now, didn’t she see that I was still wearing my clothes from the livestream? That’s not what someone coming to find Mi Ruian to sleep looks like at all!

Then why didn’t Mi Ruian suspect anything? She even let Wei Jiangxue fool her and didn’t pursue the matter of Wei Jiangxue waking her up…

Wei Jiangxue frowned, realizing that this matter might not be so simple.

But 233 said: [You are blind. The protagonist might think that even if you have bad intentions, she could subdue you immediately, so there’s no need to care too much about the details.]

Is that how it works? Wei Jiangxue was half-convinced and finally couldn’t resist the oncoming sleepiness. 233 also entered sleep mode.

On the other side of the bed, the originally closed-eyed Mi Ruian slowly opened her eyes. She sat up halfway, leaning against the headboard to look at Wei Jiangxue.

The latter’s breathing was steady; she was already fast asleep.

The silk ribbon that was originally wrapped around Wei Jiangxue’s wrist had now transferred to Mi Ruian’s hand. The ribbon hung gently among Wei Jiangxue’s hair, and Mi Ruian’s jade-white hand brushed away the strands of hair covering Wei Jiangxue’s face.

Mi Ruian leaned in to observe her. This Alpha roommate was truly interesting.

Mi Ruian had once tried to analyze her intentions from her actions, but she could never be sure of her guesses.

But Wei Jiangxue’s actions tonight allowed Mi Ruian to suddenly confirm the thought that had been repeatedly popping up in her heart.

Wei Jiangxue was indeed approaching her. Her purpose was unclear, but her methods… were childish and clumsy, making one want to laugh.

For example, tonight, draping a white sheet to play a ghost—how could there be such a ridiculous prank?

Mi Ruian, of course, didn’t believe she had come to share half the bed; that reason felt more like a lie blurted out in desperation. The answer was obvious: Wei Jiangxue seemed to want to scare her.

What good would that do for Wei Jiangxue? Mi Ruian stared at Wei Jiangxue’s slightly parted lips, curious about when she would hear the truth from this mouth.

However, it couldn’t be denied that Wei Jiangxue’s actions were very interesting. If this was a method to attract Mi Ruian’s attention, then Wei Jiangxue had already succeeded.

What would Wei Jiangxue do next?

If it was because she hated her and wanted to drive her away… no, that should be impossible.

If it was because she liked her, when would Wei Jiangxue confess?

Would Wei Jiangxue stay by her side forever? And what about herself? Was she just treating Wei Jiangxue with the attitude of casually keeping a soothing Alpha?

Mi Ruian knew that her own attitude toward Wei Jiangxue was also worth reflecting on. If it were just about hiring a soothing tool, Mi Ruian had never had such a thought before.

Mi Ruian didn’t need that kind of pleasure. In her life, she had been busy exploring the world in the early years, and now only one goal remained.

That was to find out the truth about her parents’ death and take back the Mi Group from Mi Feng.

As for later, whether to find someone she liked to accompany her, Mi Ruian had thought it would be impossible. She couldn’t tolerate anyone getting close to her or doing things that were too clingy and intimate.

But when a specific image appeared in her mind, a candidate was naturally pushed in front of Mi Ruian.

It was Wei Jiangxue’s appearance that made her feel that doing so might not be impossible.

Mi Ruian’s fingers hovered over Wei Jiangxue’s pale pink lips, imagining her kissing her.

Only Wei Jiangxue was different. The pheromones that indiscriminately attacked humans had no effect on her, as if her sturdy defenses would automatically disintegrate before her. If that were the case, Wei Jiangxue could smoothly approach her and mark her, couldn’t she?

The silk ribbon dipped between her legs, the light blue gradually turning darker.

Mi Ruian looked at the damp ribbon on her fingertips, momentarily dazed. Meanwhile, Wei Jiangxue continued to sleep soundly beside her, completely unaware that the person next to her had been staring at her for a long time.

Even if she wasn’t a soothing Alpha, replacing Wei Jiangxue in another position would still be feasible.

If not a soothing Alpha, could Wei Jiangxue become a more intimate and unique character?

Mi Ruian actually already had the answer in her heart.

The sun was making Wei Jiangxue’s skin feel hot. She slowly raised her hand and felt for her phone by the pillow. The voice assistant announced the current time: exactly ten o’clock in the morning.

Waking up naturally at this hour made Wei Jiangxue feel incredibly refreshed. She habitually turned over, only to find that one side of her body was pinned down—last night she hadn’t slept alone; she had shared a blanket with Mi Ruian.

The sleeping Mi Ruian had automatically wrapped herself around Wei Jiangxue, holding her arm and refusing to let go. Wei Jiangxue felt the body heat of the other person, and a certain part of her heart suddenly became soft.

233 had shown her projections before. At that time, Wei Jiangxue didn’t know how to describe Mi Ruian, but now she remembered a term she often heard the voice assistant read while surfing the web—”cold-faced moe.”

Although the projected Mi Ruian always had a stiff face and 233 said the protagonist rarely showed expression, Mi Ruian in that state always reminded Wei Jiangxue of a child pretending to be mature.

If she counted carefully, she and Mi Ruian were, in a sense, peers; Mi Ruian was even a few months younger than her. At the same age, Mi Ruian had already started her own company.

In private, Mi Ruian still showed a soft side. Externally, she made various decisions with a cold face and managed many business details of the company. But this was not the end; Mi Ruian would go much further.

Wei Jiangxue sighed lightly and reached out to stroke the head of the person still sleeping beside her.

Being blind, she didn’t see Mi Ruian’s eyelashes flutter nervously.

It wasn’t until Wei Jiangxue got up and left the bedroom quietly that the person on the bed opened her eyes and watched the direction she had left in.

Mi Ruian gave a satisfied sigh, reached out from under the covers, and touched the place Wei Jiangxue had just stroked.

Yes, just like that, get a little closer to me.
