The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 29.2
Then, as if worried about Mi Ruian’s lack of boundaries, Wei Jiangxue spoke hesitantly, “You, don’t do this to others in the future, unless it’s someone you like. Otherwise, it’s very easy to cause misunderstandings and will also make your lover jealous and dissatisfied…”
“I don’t have a lover, and I’ve never been in a relationship before.” Mi Ruian walked beside Wei Jiangxue. The two were of similar height, so when Wei Jiangxue turned her head, what she saw was Mi Ruian gazing at her with her whole heart and eyes.
This kind of gaze… felt like it was glued to her body. Wei Jiangxue shrank back inexplicably, but soon felt she was being hypersensitive. Mi Ruian’s expression was more like that of an ignorant and simple small animal, full of curiosity toward all living beings she met.
It’s really strange—I’ve bullied her so many times, yet Mi Ruian doesn’t even hate me?
The more Wei Jiangxue thought, the more puzzled she became. Since she regained her sight today, Mi Ruian’s attitude toward her had been extremely considerate and responsible. If it was the attitude toward a benefactor, it seemed right? But Wei Jiangxue hadn’t forgotten that she often did tasks to bully Mi Ruian; didn’t Mi Ruian hate her even a little bit?
[System 233: Protagonists are like this; they are only fierce and wicked toward the bad-guy villains. As for other characters, as long as they help even a little bit, the protagonist will warmly accept them. Because of policy regulations, the protagonist must be an embodiment of truth, goodness, and beauty; what she does is always correct and will always be what the public desires.]
Fine, in the original plot, Wei Jiangxue was a cannon-fodder villain, so her miserable end was normal.
233 was summoned by Wei Jiangxue’s question to answer, but Wei Jiangxue only sighed after hearing it: [So softhearted, she must suffer a lot along the way.]
[System 233: What? Have you actually started to feel bad for the protagonist? Actually, it’s more than that; Mi Ruian’s career line is quite difficult. If you’re interested, I can tell you everything that happens later once the tasks are completed.]
Not now? A hint of doubt flashed through Wei Jiangxue’s mind, but as she turned the corner, she saw the table full of delicious food in the dining room and instantly put the conversation with the system behind her.
“I haven’t seen such beautiful food in a long time!”
The dishes on the table made Wei Jiangxue’s eyes unable to keep up. She swept her gaze over the shrimp, fish, and other items, finding it difficult to choose for a moment, completely unsure which dish to start tasting first.
Behind her, Xiao Dong helped pull out the chairs for her and Mi Ruian. “I wish the two masters a pleasant meal. If there’s anything, please call Xiao Dong. Xiao Dong is at your service at any time!”
“Then do I need to introduce each dish here to you?” Mi Ruian brushed the long hair by her face and tucked it behind her ear, revealing her beautiful profile.
“No need, I’ve already made a decision in my heart!” Wei Jiangxue firmly locked onto the strawberry cream cake on the table; it was best to start eating from the thing she liked most.
“Then I won’t disturb you.” Mi Ruian raised an eyebrow and smiled, reaching out for the shrimp on another plate.
When Wei Jiangxue finished the cake, a bowl of shrimp meat happened to be pushed toward her hand. Wei Jiangxue looked up and saw a pile of shrimp shells and heads by Mi Ruian’s hand, while the other woman’s bowl was perfectly clean, obviously having never been used.
“You should eat too, don’t worry about me.” Wei Jiangxue said in confusion.
“It’s nothing, just convenient.” Mi Ruian shook her head.
In the past, because her grandmother was old and her part-time work was strenuous, she couldn’t always pay attention to the condition of the two children; it was always Wei Jiangxue taking care of her sister and caring for her grandmother. She had never been looked after like this at a dining table before, and instances of eating meat were pitiably few. This was the first time someone had peeled shrimp for her.
Wei Jiangxue’s heart suddenly felt warm; the ‘truth, goodness, and beauty’ protagonist was just too good, completely returning good for evil…
If she had met Mi Ruian in her original world, she wouldn’t have needed to bully Mi Ruian for task rewards, and perhaps the two could have become good friends?
Unfortunately, there were no ‘ifs.’ Wei Jiangxue sighed in her heart, then divided the shrimp meat in the bowl into two halves, taking one for herself and pushing the rest back to Mi Ruian: “Let’s eat together. If you don’t accept it, I’ll suspect you’ve poisoned the food.”
She specifically used a fierce tone to threaten Mi Ruian, and the latter had no choice but to smile and take a few bites as well to dispel the former’s suspicion.
“See, there’s no poison.” Mi Ruian spread her hands. “I was just thinking that since you finally regained your sight, don’t overwork yourself.”
“Look at you talking—clearly you’re the one who’s more tired, right?” For such an answer to come from Mi Ruian’s mouth was simply inconceivable, and Wei Jiangxue couldn’t help but shiver. “You didn’t even rest for a bit when you arrived here today; you went directly to handle the matter with your uncle. You even had time to change clothes and dress up—I sincerely admire you.”
“I still have to do your styling later; how could I manage if my energy wasn’t good?” When Mi Ruian shrugged, the hollow of her collarbone became even larger, making Wei Jiangxue’s hand itch with the desire to poke it.
She controlled herself and looked away from her impolite gaze, then heard Mi Ruian say, “Why do you dislike Mi Feng? Is it based on your first impression?”
“Dislike is just dislike; there doesn’t need to be a reason.” Wei Jiangxue said through gritted teeth. She simply disliked the kind of businessman who excelled at calculation and sought only profit. Especially knowing that after causing the death of Mi Ruian’s parents, Mi Feng even wanted to squeeze Mi Ruian dry and completely consume the last bit of her value, it made Wei Jiangxue have no good feelings toward him.
“Then what about me?” Mi Ruian asked again.
Wei Jiangxue looked at her and gave a hum. “Dislike too. I dislike all rich people, not to mention you pretended to be a Beta to lie to me. If Mi Feng hadn’t mentioned yesterday that you’re an Omega, I would still feel you look like a Beta even now.”
But her completely different attitudes toward the two members of the Mi family clearly showed that she didn’t dislike her, so the dimples on Mi Ruian’s face deepened as she laughed.
“It’s good that you dislike him; I dislike him too, and even want to stab him to death.” Mi Ruian said words that made Wei Jiangxue’s body stiffen while smiling. “Just a joke, don’t take it to heart.”
Wei Jiangxue tremblingly fed herself a mouthful of soup. “Mhm.”
She quickly summoned 233 to respond: [The protagonist isn’t a criminal, right? She just said she wanted to stab her uncle to death? I remember the original plot you told me wasn’t this bloody?]
[System 233: No need to make a fuss. she’s just thinking about it, not actually doing it. Relax.]
That made sense. When Wei Jiangxue was annoyed at school in the past, she had also thought about blowing up the school, but she had never once actually put it into action; everything was limited to her imagination.
Anyway, it didn’t matter who was stabbed to death, as long as it wasn’t her, Wei Jiangxue.
Once dinner was finished, Wei Jiangxue took Xiao Dong to the balcony. She lay on a chair to digest while Xiao Dong checked her physical condition.
Mi Ruian folded her arms and watched Wei Jiangxue swaying on the rocking chair, asking Xiao Dong, “How is it?”
“No abnormal conditions detected in the eyes. It indeed matches the symptoms of functional vision loss. Should Xiao Dong notify the family doctor to get in position quickly?”
“Just believe what I say. There’s no need for any doctor to see me; it wouldn’t be very useful even if one came.” Wei Jiangxue advised lazily. “You just do your own busy work and don’t worry about me. My eyes weren’t broken by you.”
In fact, after using the reward, Wei Jiangxue’s mood was unusually stable because she had verified the abilities of the system and the Transmigration Bureau and was completely convinced that this wasn’t her hallucination. In that case, the wishes of returning to her family and regaining her sight were just around the corner.
“Xiao Dong, you can leave. There’s no need to call the family doctor.” Mi Ruian was silent for a few seconds and finally agreed to Wei Jiangxue’s request.
After reporting the situation, it was no longer needed here, and Xiao Dong obediently retracted to a corner to charge.
“Your eyes… I personally recommend getting them treated as early as possible.” Mi Ruian sat down on another stool beside Wei Jiangxue.
As soon as she said this, the gaze Wei Jiangxue directed toward her became much softer. But Mi Ruian was unaware and continued to persuade Wei Jiangxue to seek medical treatment. “Are you afraid of going to the hospital? I can accompany you, or I can find someone else you trust to accompany you.”
“It’s not that I’m afraid; I just don’t want to go.”
Nonsense. She would recover once she finished the tasks, so why go to the trouble of going to a hospital? Moreover, the abilities of the system and the Transmigration Bureau were much more powerful than the hospitals in such a small world; they had brought Wei Jiangxue back to life and across different worlds.
Of course, she couldn’t expect Mi Ruian to understand this kind of indifferent attitude, so Wei Jiangxue directly cut off this conversation. “Let’s talk about something else, as long as it’s not persuading me to see a doctor.”
“Then, what exactly caused your blindness? There must be an external cause, right?” Mi Ruian asked.
“You’re curious? It’s nothing much to say; it was just a small car accident.” Wei Jiangxue said half-truthfully. “I was lucky and didn’t die, but the price was that I lost my sight.”
There was another price: being detained in this world by the Transmigration Bureau to perform tasks as a cannon fodder. But compared to what she had lost, Wei Jiangxue had gained more; one should be content.
After speaking, Wei Jiangxue didn’t hear Mi Ruian’s response for a long time, so she turned her head to look at her. “Say something? What, do you feel I’m even more pitiful after hearing it, so you want to give me this house?”
But after saying this joke, Wei Jiangxue didn’t see Mi Ruian laugh; instead, she found the other woman’s expression had turned even worse.
“Not funny? Then I won’t say it next time.” Wei Jiangxue said sheepishly.
“No… did you feel uncomfortable anywhere today?” Mi Ruian asked her abruptly, her expression strange. “Your face is so red, and your body temperature is also so high.”
An icy hand pressed against Wei Jiangxue’s face.
