The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 29.1

Excessive Body Temperature (1k Nutrient Solution Bonus Update)

It wasn’t a discussion; it was a notification.

Wei Jiangxue froze in place because of her words, tilting her head slightly to observe Mi Ruian’s expression through the rearview mirror, only to find that the latter… seemed a bit excited?

“Then where are we going?” Wei Jiangxue quickly accepted this arrangement because System 233 had just spoken in her mind.

[System 233: Agree to Mi Ruian. After I checked the data, I reported the situation, and the notice from above is that everything should prioritize the plot that the protagonist Mi Ruian needs to follow; our tasks can be put aside for now. Since she is willing to take you with her, it saves us the effort of laboriously searching for her to complete tasks.]

This meant that Mi Ruian’s plotline had a higher priority than the tasks assigned to Wei Jiangxue and the system.

Wei Jiangxue cast a discreet glance at Mi Ruian. The other woman didn’t turn her head and didn’t notice her distraction, answering casually, “To a place Mi Feng doesn’t know about.”

But according to the navigation map provided by 233, Mi Ruian was clearly driving toward the most prosperous central area of Linyue City. So, did Mi Feng not know that Mi Ruian had a stronghold here? Wei Jiangxue tactfully held her tongue and instead asked, “So we’re not going back to the rental house?”

Mi Ruian smiled without speaking.

An hour later, Wei Jiangxue stood in the tallest residential building in this area; Mi Ruian had bought an entire floor here.

Wei Jiangxue looked down at the traffic flowing like swarms of ants, while directly ahead, most of the city’s scenery entered her field of vision. For a moment, she was actually somewhat dazed. When she regained her senses, Wei Jiangxue’s gaze fell on the reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window; the robot Xiao Dong was standing behind her.

Yes, Xiao Dong had arrived at this property a step ahead of the two of them.

When Wei Jiangxue and Mi Ruian entered the door together, Xiao Dong slid out very suddenly and greeted loudly, “Welcome home, two masters!”

Wei Jiangxue was so startled that she leaned against the door, nearly falling onto her bottom, but luckily Mi Ruian caught her in time.

Once Wei Jiangxue reacted, she looked at Mi Ruian in astonishment. “You prepared this in advance?”

“Mhm. I sent a message to my assistant while in the car to have Xiao Dong sent over to facilitate taking care of your daily life.” Mi Ruian’s tone was indifferent.

Wei Jiangxue didn’t have many ulterior motives and immediately believed her words, because rather than getting to the bottom of things, Wei Jiangxue was more interested in the large house she was about to live in.

Mi Ruian saw through her; she nodded nonchalantly to Xiao Dong and instructed, “Take her to familiarize herself with the environment, and then help check what’s going on with her eyes. If possible, have the family doctor come over for a look today.”

Then, she said to Wei Jiangxue, “I’m going to handle some follow-up matters. You stay here with peace of mind.”

After saying that, Mi Ruian hurried into the corridor that made Wei Jiangxue dizzy and soon disappeared.

Xiao Dong was, after all, a robot and didn’t pay attention to the fact that Wei Jiangxue had suddenly regained her sight; it focused solely on taking her around to tour the house, which was over four hundred square meters.

Wei Jiangxue saw that all the sharp corners in the house were covered with sponge pads. She breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, knowing that this couldn’t have been specially arranged by Mi Ruian for her. Recalling the setting of the other woman’s weak constitution, it was easy to guess: it was to prevent Mi Ruian herself from getting injured.

As expected, only someone who had suffered in this regard would care about such small details. Wei Jiangxue was no longer surprised that Mi Ruian had added protective measures to the rental house back then. Regardless, she was benefiting now, being able to live in a large house without worrying about bumps or bruises, and without needing to pay rent or living expenses herself—it was simply double the joy.

“Eh? This place…” Xiao Dong turned into the bedroom where Wei Jiangxue would be staying these days, while also showing her the walk-in closet and the lounge area.

What made Wei Jiangxue freeze at the door was a corner in the room—it had been specially arranged with a desk, chairs, a computer, and a camera, along with various lighting stands that Wei Jiangxue didn’t understand.

“It was arranged by the master; she didn’t want to delay Sister’s live-streaming work.” Xiao Dong stepped forward and began to introduce the functions of those tools one by one.

233 listened excitedly: [The protagonist is very thoughtful. I’ll come and try it tonight to adjust a light that super suits you, ensuring you look stunning from every angle!]

If she continued live-streaming tonight, she would have to ask Mi Ruian to find a ribbon to blindfold her eyes… explaining it to others was too troublesome, and Wei Jiangxue was too lazy to use the excuse of psychogenic blindness to stall people.

Following Xiao Dong for a large circle, Wei Jiangxue found that every aspect of this place was suitable for her activities, and there was none of the expected sense of being out of place.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then asked 233: [You said the tasks aren’t urgent—does that mean I don’t need to do them, or just do some things that aren’t so excessive?]

[System 233: For now, just go through the motions and bully Mi Ruian a bit so that the OOC value of the persona doesn’t get too high. At key plot points, I will remind you. Mi Feng won’t relax his pursuit of Mi Ruian for a while; we must wait as long as possible for him to shift his attention so that the plot can be considered back on track. Because in the original plot, at this time, Mi Feng hadn’t obtained any clues regarding Mi Ruian.]

Wei Jiangxue curled her knuckles and rested them against her chin: [In that case, is it actually my fault? Forget it, things have developed to this point; there’s no use agonizing over it. Even if it happened again, I would still go and stop that Alpha who lost control.]

[System 233: It’s not your fault! The host is such a good person; it’s all Mi Feng’s problem! But generally speaking, as long as you don’t defect to Mi Feng’s side, the world consciousness will soon automatically correct itself.]

“Wei Jiangxue, come over for dinner.”

The voice at the door called back Wei Jiangxue’s thoughts. She looked sideways and was again stunned by Mi Ruian—they hadn’t seen each other for just a short while, and Mi Ruian had changed her clothes. Compared to that simple and elegant outfit in the car, the current Mi Ruian was dressed as if she were going out on a date.

The misty blue long dress looked ethereal and fairy-like, with two thin straps securing it at the shoulders, appearing like ripples of water as she moved. The pendant on her slender neck hung all the way to her chest, the teardrop-shaped gemstone reflecting light brilliantly, making the skin on her chest appear particularly white, tender, and soft.

Wei Jiangxue didn’t dare look too much and averted her gaze. “Are you going out later?”

“No, why would you think that?” Mi Ruian tilted her head, her eyes innocent. Her lips seemed to have something applied to them, making them look shiny.

During the conversation, Wei Jiangxue had already walked to her side and caught a glimpse of the glowing fine shimmer on the pale pink lips.

Oh, that’s right. Wei Jiangxue suddenly realized. She had seen girls who emitted a fragrant scent before; they would walk together in twos or threes, chatting about popular games, movies, and TV shows, or complaining about their worries regarding school. Occasionally, she would see those girls secretly kissing at street corners or in alleys, then separating with a laugh as one let the other reapply lip gloss for her.

Wei Jiangxue had only applied lip gloss during art festivals or major school celebrations, when she was often pulled up by teachers to be the host. At that time, when she was still young and applied scented lip balm for the first time, she couldn’t help but take a lick and shared the discovery in surprise with the adults beside her: “My mouth tastes like strawberry when I press my lips together!”

The teachers only smiled, patted her head, and said, “Although this is edible makeup, try not to eat it!”

When she came down from the stage, the teacher would hand her a box of fresh strawberries: “You must have been craving them after eating that lip balm just now. This is a reward from the school for being the host.”

In fact, it wasn’t just strawberries; the teachers would also occasionally bring some rice, flour, and oil to Wei Jiangxue’s home, saying that Wei Jiangxue had won a certain competition or received the honor of being a “Three-Good Student.” The ingredients they brought were the school’s way of giving praise.

But Wei Jiangxue wasn’t stupid—how could the school proactively give these? It could only be that the teachers had bought them on their own initiative to help Wei Jiangxue’s family, old and young.

Recalling these things now, Wei Jiangxue still remembered the sweet taste of the lip balm.

“Why have you been staring at my lips?” Mi Ruian’s fingers were together as she waved them in front of Wei Jiangxue.

“I was thinking, does your lip gloss have a taste? What is it?” In her distraction, Wei Jiangxue unconsciously spoke her thoughts. When she realized it, her face turned bright red. “Because I usually don’t have much of a need for it, I don’t apply these things, so I was just a bit curious when I noticed it.”

“Then do you want to taste it?” Mi Ruian leaned in almost instantly, blinking her eyes and looking seriously at Wei Jiangxue.

Wei Jiangxue didn’t realize at all that she would do this and froze in place. When Mi Ruian leaned close, the distance between the two was so small that one could completely count how many eyelashes the other had.

Those lips that Wei Jiangxue had looked at several times were also brought close to Wei Jiangxue’s face; with just a little carelessness, they might leave a mark on her face or touch another pair of lips.

The dense rose scent on Mi Ruian was now mixed with a sweet and fresh smell.

Wei Jiangxue couldn’t quite say what it was, only feeling that it was somewhat familiar.

“What are you saying!” Wei Jiangxue pushed Mi Ruian away with a red face, but unexpectedly touched the latter’s exposed shoulders directly; in contrast, the former’s hand was burning hot.

Mi Ruian behaved quite naturally, even appearing somewhat aggrieved. “I just wanted to let you smell it… up close, the scent is very obvious. You smelled it just now, right?”

“…Mhm.” Wei Jiangxue’s hand stiffened. she thought Mi Ruian was intentionally teasing her, which was why her actions were so unrestrained. How was it that as soon as the other person explained, Wei Jiangxue felt that the one whose reaction was greater and stranger was actually herself?

She cautiously scrutinized Mi Ruian, trying to find any traces in her eyes. But what Wei Jiangxue saw in them, besides innocence and confusion, was bewilderment.

So, was there really no intentional meaning in that action just now? Wei Jiangxue thought about it and explained, “I… I’m just not used to people being too close to me. It was a bit too intimate just now, and I found it quite startling, so that’s why I pushed you. Sorry.”

“It’s my problem instead. I’ll pay more attention next time.” Mi Ruian’s tone and expression were extremely pure and innocent, her eyes bright and filled only with Wei Jiangxue’s figure. She seemed to have realized her mistake and intended to earnestly correct it, making a vow to the heavens.

Next time… she would test Wei Jiangxue’s bottom line bit by bit.

With such a beautiful face right in front of her, and offering a sincere apology, the impact was too great.

Mi Ruian only needed to furrow her brows, and Wei Jiangxue felt there was no need to dwell on such a small matter. She waved her hand and said, “Just act normally.”
