The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 23

Rut Period

Caught off guard by such a private question, Wei Jiangxue froze for a few seconds.

“Eh… my ideal type? That’s an interesting question…”

She rested her chin on her hand, feigning deliberation. In reality, she was screaming internally—what ideal type? Wei Jiangxue had never thought about such a thing! If she had to come up with something now, what would be the best way to answer?

The voice assistant read out Mi’s follow-up: “If you can’t answer immediately, you can tell me later.”

“I can do it. My ideal type…” Wei Jiangxue shook her head quickly. Mi was far too kind; seeing her hesitation, Mi had immediately given her a way out.

This level of Q&A wasn’t exactly a hardship. After thinking for a few seconds, Wei Jiangxue stared blankly ahead with hollow eyes: “I think I would like someone who is kind, gentle, and reliable.”

In another room of the same rental apartment, Mi Ruian rested her chin in her hand while watching Wei Jiangxue, the corners of her lips curling upward.

Kind?

Although Mi Ruian often thought about making her uncle, Mi Feng, vanish from this world—and felt like stabbing everyone she detested—most of the time, she considered herself a very kind Omega.

Gentle?

A new message popped up on the discarded touch screen nearby. It was from her assistant, asking how to deal with the thugs who had tracked Mi Ruian’s movements. They were henchmen Mi Feng had hired through shady channels; they were “dirty,” possessed long criminal records, and many were currently evading capture.

Mi Ruian lowered her eyes and quickly typed a line, intending to tell her assistant to handle them the usual way.

She suddenly retracted the message: [Forget it, send them all to the Security Bureau. Just make sure that when you deliver them, these people have completely lost the ability to move.]

If Wei Jiangxue liked gentle people, then she would try to change her temperament.

As for reliable… there was no doubt about that. Mi Ruian was never unreliable.

In summary, she fit Wei Jiangxue’s criteria for an ideal type quite well.

Mi Ruian’s eyes crinkled with pleasure, her gaze never leaving Wei Jiangxue on the screen for a single inch.

Because Wei Jiangxue’s answer was very broad, people in the bullet chat immediately began shouting, asking the streamer—as an Omega—whether she preferred Alphas or Betas, as well as her preferred physical appearance. They wanted her to be more specific.

Without blinking, Wei Jiangxue said, “I don’t care if the other person is an A, B, or O. As for what they look like… since I’m blind right now, the beauty of their soul is more important.”

She wasn’t someone who cared particularly about looks. In fact, if people around her hadn’t praised her beauty since she was a child, she wouldn’t have thought her appearance was worth noting at all.

It was everything she learned from her environment that made her realize her looks were quite striking.

Now, Wei Jiangxue had found someone similar to herself; she felt that Mi Ruian also possessed an extraordinary appearance.

It was just a pity… Wei Jiangxue thought of the projection 233 had provided, and her heart couldn’t help but feel regret. That was just a projection, not a living person seen with her own eyes. If the projection was that beautiful, what would the real Mi Ruian look like? When would she be able to see this world again?

The task System 233 spoke of was still far from over. Wei Jiangxue sighed softly, pulled her wandering thoughts back, and focused on the live stream.

The next morning, Mi Ruian added something new to their small home.

“The person in charge considered that it’s inconvenient for you to travel. Since I’m also an employee of the company, I was able to apply to change the testing site. We can conduct the tests in a place you’re more familiar with. Once you get used to the operation, we’ll change locations again, perhaps going outdoors…”

Mi Ruian explained to Wei Jiangxue while noisily unpacking a large parcel delivered by a courier.

Wei Jiangxue raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t expected the person in charge at Real Tech to be so considerate. This was perfect; it saved a lot of trouble.

“So, they just sent the robot over directly?” Wei Jiangxue wanted to lean over and touch it, but she only felt a hand full of adhesive tape. It didn’t seem like the ordinary tape used for normal packages.

She tried to pull away, but she used her strength in the wrong direction, causing her hand to become even more entangled.

Wei Jiangxue: …She refused to believe she was this useless.

Just as she was about to pull her hand back with all her might, Mi Ruian stopped her.

“…I just peeled that off. Be careful, don’t get it tangled in your feet and trip again.” Mi Ruian’s voice held a hint of helplessness. “If you rely on brute force, the tape will only stick to you more thoroughly. It’ll be hard to peel off then.”

Wei Jiangxue felt there was a double meaning in those words, so she feigned a turn of her head away.

A hand, as cool as water, took hold of Wei Jiangxue’s arm and carefully removed the tape that had twisted into a chaotic mess.

The tingling sensation from the physical contact made her flinch slightly, but Mi Ruian held her even more firmly.

“Why is your company’s packaging so tight? This tape doesn’t seem like the ordinary stuff from a supermarket shelf,” Wei Jiangxue muttered. Anyway, it definitely wasn’t her fault; the tape was to blame.

“This is specialized tape with better protective properties, but it’s also much stickier. Struggling blindly will only wrap your hands tighter.” After Mi Ruian untangled the things trapping Wei Jiangxue’s hand, she didn’t let go immediately.

“I wanted to ask just now—why is your hand so hot? Your face is a bit red, too.” Mi Ruian’s voice was full of concern.

Hearing this, Wei Jiangxue’s reaction was a bit slow. She realized belatedly that it wasn’t that Mi Ruian’s hand was too cold, but that her own body temperature was too hot.

The system reminded her in her mind at the right moment: [I told you this morning that Alphas have rut periods. Yours is coming soon. Since this is your first rut, your body might have some abnormal reactions, but don’t worry too much.]

Wei Jiangxue immediately stopped panicking. She silently withdrew her hand and said slowly, “Ah, it’s nothing. We Alphas are like this. Maybe our body temperature is naturally high.”

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Mi Ruian went straight to the medicine chest in the living room, found an automatic thermometer gun, and tested it on Wei Jiangxue. Her temperature was still within the normal range, but Mi Ruian’s brow remained furrowed. She cautioned uneasily, “If you feel unwell anywhere, see a doctor as soon as possible.”

“Mhm, I will,” Wei Jiangxue replied perfunctorily, changing the subject. “So, next we’ll be doing the robot test projects right here in the apartment, right?”

“Right. I’ve already installed it. You don’t need to worry too much; just live your life normally. It will assist you with some tasks, like simple pouring of tea or water and feeding. For going out, it has functions to guide you across the street and up stairs. Real Tech has a partnership with the Public Transport Bureau of Linyue City, so a robot with this marking can even take you on public transport…”

Mi Ruian took Wei Jiangxue’s hand and led her to touch a cold object.

Wei Jiangxue curiously felt the smooth metallic surface. This robot was slightly shorter than her, similar in height to her younger sister.

“Give it a name. You’ll be living with it for the next month. The testing stipend is 10,000 per month, paid to you. If you want to continue later, just tell me.”

Mi Ruian’s words made Wei Jiangxue widen her eyes involuntarily. Was the welfare stipend really this good?

Then, Mi Ruian added: “During the testing process, I will follow up continuously and communicate with you about the usage of this robot. You need to honestly report all your experiences. I’ll probably check in with you once a week. Is that acceptable?”

“Perfectly fine. But… I have to be the one to name it?” Wei Jiangxue immediately felt a massive headache coming on.

“It will be with you for a long time. Giving it a name will help you get familiarized quickly.” Mi Ruian pressed something somewhere, and Wei Jiangxue suddenly heard the robot under her hand make a clicking sound.

Startled, she immediately withdrew her hand.

“Good afternoon, Sister! Welcome home. MRA Model 11, under Real Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., is at your service. Now, please give me a name, Sister!” The childish voice of a young girl made Wei Jiangxue pause.

“Why does it have a child’s voice?” Wei Jiangxue asked, puzzled.

Mi Ruian shrugged. “Probably because I said the apartment was a bit small. Sending an adult-sized robot would only make it more crowded, so they prepared a juvenile-bodied female robot. Anything smaller would probably have trouble helping you much.”

Mi Ruian didn’t tell the truth. In fact, other models of Real Tech robots had various special settings; the small ones were mostly used for teaching childcare, while the adult ones had certain “companion” functions. All things considered, the juvenile body was definitely more “green and healthy” and the most suitable for Wei Jiangxue.

At the thought that Real Tech had almost sent an adult-bodied robot, Mi Ruian’s face darkened. Fortunately, she had intercepted the logistics in advance.

“Then, its name… let me think. Let’s call it Xiao Dong.”

As someone terrible at naming things, Wei Jiangxue thought hard for a while. The thing that surfaced in her mind at the critical moment was “Early Winter” (Chu Dong), the song she often sang to Mi.

It happened to be winter now, the season of their meeting.

“Okay, Sister! Xiao Dong likes this name!”

Although she couldn’t see the robot’s appearance, Wei Jiangxue couldn’t help but curl her lips at that cheerful voice, reaching out to pat the other’s head.

“Xiao Dong, activate the physical examination module. Scan your Sister Xiaoxue’s physical condition.” Mi Ruian interrupted them.

“Received. Xiao Dong is on it.” The robot replied obediently.

Wei Jiangxue was pressed into place by Mi Ruian, confused. She frowned and asked, “Are the functions this complete? It can even do physical exams…”

“Just some basic items. Let Xiao Dong check for you.” Mi Ruian stopped talking and focused on waiting for the results.

Xiao Dong’s physical examination function mainly worked by scanning human data to analyze Wei Jiangxue’s health status. 233 broadcasted what it saw in Wei Jiangxue’s mind: that big iron block Xiao Dong used a blue light to scan Wei Jiangxue from head to toe, then began parsing the acquired data.

After listening, Wei Jiangxue couldn’t help but click her tongue. The products from Mi Ruian’s company were truly all-purpose. Xiao Dong’s performance was no different from a “hexagonal warrior”—it could pour water, feed people, lead someone outside, and even monitor health. Did they really need a visually impaired person like her to cooperate with the testing?

233 didn’t understand either. Its authority wasn’t enough to bypass the World Consciousness to investigate matters concerning Mi Ruian, so it had zero understanding of the Real Tech that Mi Ruian actually controlled.

It had originally thought the artificial intelligence of this world was no different from a mental disability, but looking at it now, it was only a few IQ points away from its own level as 233.

Mi Ruian was terrifyingly capable!

Xiao Dong quickly gave the preliminary diagnosis result—

“The body is very healthy! But Sister, you must be careful—your rut period is coming soon~”
