The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 22

What would Xiaoxue’s ideal type be like?

Wei Jiangxue was rummaging through the refrigerator for the blueberries and yogurt she had bought with yesterday’s takeout. On the nearby kitchen counter sat the bowl and granola she had just prepared.

Every day at this time, she would make herself a simple little snack to satisfy her cravings. With 233 watching over her, this simple preparation process didn’t pose any danger.

This time, she took out the yogurt and blueberries. After washing the blueberries in salt water, she made two portions of blueberry yogurt granola.

It wasn’t that she intended to curry favor with the other person; it was simply because 233 suddenly mentioned that the remaining yogurt would expire tomorrow. Wei Jiangxue figured that since she was heading over to ask Mi Ruian something anyway, it wouldn’t be good to go empty-handed, so she decided to use up the extra yogurt.

Steadily carrying the bowls, she walked to Mi Ruian’s door and tapped three times with the tip of her toe.

“I made a portion for you too, give it a try.” Wei Jiangxue used the food to pave her way, slipping into the other’s bedroom while Mi Ruian was still stunned. “While you’re eating, I wanted to ask you something.”

Wei Jiangxue sat in her usual spot for makeup and styling, her fingers unconsciously stroking the rim of the porcelain bowl. The rose fragrance in the room remained rich and lingering. Wei Jiangxue suspected that Mi Ruian might be particularly fond of her own pheromone scent—narcissistic to the extreme—which was why everything around her was imbued with that smell.

But now was not the time to speculate on Mi Ruian’s narcissism. Wei Jiangxue cleared her throat, deciding to ask the question that had been circling in her mind. Mi Ruian had asked her for help in testing the smart robot for the visually impaired, but there had been no new information for a while. Wei Jiangxue was getting a bit impatient; she disliked sudden events disrupting her future plans and naturally wanted to settle things as soon as possible.

Furthermore, if she didn’t help, it would feel like she owed Mi Ruian a favor for nothing. The character Wei Jiangxue was playing didn’t have a good relationship with Mi Ruian at all. If she kept owing favors, Wei Jiangxue worried she wouldn’t be able to stay objective in her role.

“About… the testing project for the Real AI robot for the visually impaired we mentioned before.”

She didn’t want to seem too eager, lest it look like she was desperate to help.

But even with just those few words, Mi Ruian guessed what Wei Jiangxue wanted to express.

Mi Ruian, however, refused to give her what she wanted. She only gave a faint “Mm” and didn’t follow up. Wei Jiangxue heard rustling from another corner of the room and guessed that Mi Ruian was busy with her own things, perhaps without much capacity for deep thought.

In reality, Mi Ruian was pretending to be busy, her hands aimlessly rearranging things while her eyes remained fixed on Wei Jiangxue. Wei Jiangxue thought she was masking her feelings well, but Mi Ruian keenly captured her intention to quickly clear the debt of the favor.

Why? Mi Ruian had thought Wei Jiangxue liked her; if so, she should be looking for ways to spend more time together.

Could her guess have been wrong?

This realization sent a faint trace of panic through Mi Ruian—one she didn’t even notice herself—but it was immediately overridden by an even stronger desire for control.

No, all risks should be within her grasp. Even if there was a tiny error in her estimation, Mi Ruian would take action to set things right, ensuring the result matched her expectations perfectly.

“Roughly when can the test be arranged? My schedule lately… should be able to accommodate it.”

After Wei Jiangxue finished speaking, she “looked” in Mi Ruian’s direction. Although she couldn’t see, she focused on capturing any subtle movement from that side.

“Ah, that…” Mi Ruian deliberated for a moment. “Last I heard, the prototype was still in the final debugging stage. I’m not quite sure when they’ll be ready. Of course, it’s best if you’re willing to cooperate and coordinate the time. How about this: I’ll check in with the project lead first to confirm the current testing window and the adaptation plan.”

She didn’t give a firm promise, but she provided a clear step for action.

“Okay, sorry to trouble you.” Wei Jiangxue nodded, and that bit of anxiety in her heart strangely calmed down. At least there was a clear direction now, rather than it being lost in the void.

Mi Ruian said no more. Her fingers slid across a touchpad, opening an internal communication app to find the chat window for the visually impaired robot project manager. She sent a message and, while waiting for a reply, her gaze unconsciously drifted back to Wei Jiangxue in the living room, who had lowered her head again, scooping up yogurt one spoonful at a time.

Did she think that clearing the favor would be the end of it?

A smile tugged at the corner of Mi Ruian’s mouth, her eyes narrowing slightly. She had plenty of ways to keep Wei Jiangxue by her side.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Wei Jiangxue nearly lose her grip and drop the bowl.

“…”

The air was dead silent. Wei Jiangxue held the bowl, not daring to move an inch. She was just glad she hadn’t spilled the food and dirtied Mi Ruian’s room.

“Let me feed you.” Mi Ruian had walked to her side at some unknown point, taking the yogurt bowl from Wei Jiangxue’s hands with an air of non-negotiable authority.

“Alright, thank you.” Wei Jiangxue blinked and complied with Mi Ruian’s arrangement.

This answer seemed to please Mi Ruian; Wei Jiangxue heard her let out a soft chuckle.

Wei Jiangxue didn’t understand what was so funny, but as the protagonist, perhaps she had her own little thoughts. According to the setting, unless Mi Ruian spoke them aloud, Wei Jiangxue wouldn’t know what she was thinking.

The sweet and sour food improved Wei Jiangxue’s mood. After Mi Ruian stopped, Wei Jiangxue kindly suggested: “It’s very delicious. You were busy feeding me just now, so don’t forget to taste the portion I made for you!”

“Okay, I won’t forget.” A glimmer of hope flashed in Mi Ruian’s eyes, yet Wei Jiangxue did not say “Let me feed you too” as she had expected.

Never mind. Mi Ruian shook her head. What was she thinking?

Even if Wei Jiangxue had suggested it, Mi Ruian wouldn’t have agreed, because the girl would likely just cause another mishap.

[System 233: You two are both wearing red today!]

233 spoke up out of nowhere, startling Wei Jiangxue and causing her body to sway slightly. Fortunately, Mi Ruian, who was holding a powder brush, was quick enough to avoid ruining the makeup.

“What’s wrong?” Mi Ruian asked, her eyes tinged with surprise. She had seen Wei Jiangxue doing nothing just now, so why the sudden jolt?

Could it be another symptom? Mi Ruian suddenly thought. She couldn’t help but frown with concern. “Are you feeling unwell?”

Wei Jiangxue shook her head. “No, I just thought of something scary.”

After brushing off Mi Ruian, she scolded 233 in her mind: Don’t pop up like that next time. I was thinking about the upcoming missions, and you gave me a fright.

233 apologized obediently, and Wei Jiangxue then turned her attention to what it had said. Because Mi Ruian had said the blue-toned look from last time was good, she wanted to try various colors to portray different styles. So, this time, she wanted a more passionate and bright look.

[System 233: I didn’t mean that. I just thought, since you’re both in red, at first glance you look like quite a matching pair…]

Its electronic voice was too low for Wei Jiangxue to hear clearly. However, Wei Jiangxue didn’t have time to pay attention to 233 anyway, because Mi Ruian had already called her over to match suitable jewelry.

233 took the opportunity to snap a few more photos, happily watching Mi Ruian hold various pieces of jewelry against Wei Jiangxue’s neck for comparison.

A glance to the left—a perfect face. A glance to the right—still a perfect face.

Other systems might not be as lucky as 233, getting to see two exquisite beauties without a single flaw every day.

Suddenly, 233 stopped uploading the new post. It looked closely; no matter how it looked, the clothes Wei Jiangxue and Mi Ruian were wearing seemed like specifically designed couple’s outfits. Even the subtle floral patterns seemed to come from the same piece of fabric.

But why would the protagonist, Mi Ruian, have Wei Jiangxue wear the matching dress? 233 didn’t think she was the type to play little mind games over something like this. She probably just picked it by accident, right?

It tapped some code and stopped focusing on these small details, concentrating instead on preparing to monitor Wei Jiangxue’s livestream.

Everything was normal today. The backend was stuffed with private messages from followers. After 233 confirmed that the code it designed could automatically clear rule-breaking comments, it began sorting through the messages for Wei Jiangxue.

Some messages were too crazy and weren’t suitable for Wei Jiangxue to see.

Some were nonsensical insults—also a no-go for Wei Jiangxue.

233 screened them diligently and paused at a certain private message interface—

[Manager Xiao Shen, Mi’s Starlight Media]: Hello, I am a manager from Mi’s Starlight Media. I’ve been following your livestream lately and particularly admire your performance style. We are currently recruiting streamers. We offer full support from a professional operations and styling team, as well as top-tier platform traffic recommendations. Would you be interested in coming over for a chat?

A few days ago, Wei Jiangxue had indeed asked 233 about signing with a streaming company, but after waiting for a long time, they hadn’t received a single message from any media company.

They had thought they would continue on this “rogue” path, but now the manager’s message that Wei Jiangxue had been hoping for had appeared.

233 stared at the sender’s title for a while. Mi’s, huh… What a coincidence, it was related to Mi Ruian, except the actual controller behind this media company right now should be the antagonist, Mi Feng.

If Wei Jiangxue went to work there, it probably wouldn’t have much impact. Mi Feng certainly wouldn’t pay attention to such a small company under him, so he naturally wouldn’t notice Wei Jiangxue.

So, 233 temporarily saved this conversation. After the livestream, once Wei Jiangxue heard the message, she could decide for herself.

Wei Jiangxue’s livestream was in full swing, and the voice assistant could hardly keep up with reading the comments.

She took a few sips of pear water to soothe her throat, and then she heard the familiar sound effect of a gift.

“Mi, you’re here again. Thank you for the support~” Wei Jiangxue leaned close to the camera, thanking her in a sweet, lingering tone.

Mi had mentioned in a private message that she liked seeing Wei Jiangxue lean in close to the camera because it was very cute.

Wei Jiangxue didn’t know what was so good about that angle, but she kept the “Top Fan’s” preference in mind. Every time Mi arrived, she was like a little dog catching the scent of a bone, happily leaning in.

Today was a bit strange. Usually, Mi was quite generous about stepping back to let other fans interact with Wei Jiangxue.

But this time, Mi sent a flurry of gifts, like a water truck spraying water, showing no concern for the money at all. The voice assistant mechanically read out the words on the Super Chats: “I want to ask Xiaoxue a few questions.”

“Go ahead and ask. No matter what Mi wants to know, I will answer seriously.”

Wei Jiangxue’s eyes were bright under the lights, with a shimmering brilliance within them. If the viewers in the livestream didn’t know she was blind, they would surely think those eyes could see normally.

“Does Xiaoxue have an ideal type? What would they be like?”
