The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 6

Task Two: Stealing the Protagonist’s Clothes

[Task Two: The cannon fodder Alpha feels that the protagonist’s belongings look high-class. To save face when going out, the cannon fodder sneaks into the protagonist Mi Ruian’s room, steals one of her garments and an accessory, and wears them herself. The protagonist only discovers this much later while scrolling through the cannon fodder’s social media, feeling nauseated upon recollection.]

Early in the morning, System 233 announced the task to be completed today to Wei Jiangxue.

Wei Jiangxue froze for a moment upon hearing this and asked woodenly, “Me? A blind person? Thinking Mi Ruian’s things look good? So I go to steal and wear her clothes?”

233 and her remained in a stalemate for a few seconds; both felt the logic of this task was utterly unreasonable.

[Forget it, the operation of the small world doesn’t care if the storyline is logical or not. Completing the task at the scheduled time is what matters most.]

“Mi Ruian left half an hour ago, and I don’t know when she’ll be back. I might as well go now to avoid any complications from a long delay,” Wei Jiangxue decided immediately.

However, 233 did not agree right away: [I have a temporary job and expect to be offline for two hours. How about…]

“Then I’ll go by myself. It’s just in this house anyway.” Wei Jiangxue didn’t wait for it to finish. While having 233 watching over her was good, she ultimately needed to practice for herself. She couldn’t always rely on 233, treating the system as a fallback and failing to work hard herself.

This task was relatively simple, and Mi Ruian happened to not be home, so it only required Wei Jiangxue to go steal the items.

Wei Jiangxue figured the task didn’t specify whether to return them or not. If she finished stealing them, wore them out for a stroll, and then put them back in their original place after completing the task, she could ensure Mi Ruian wouldn’t find out.

After hearing her plan, 233 thought for a moment and agreed. Before leaving, it gave a worried reminder: [If there’s an emergency, remember to retreat in time. You don’t need to succeed on the first try; you can try a second or third time. See you in two hours!]

Wei Jiangxue nodded and bid farewell to 233.

As the mechanical voice in her head disappeared, Wei Jiangxue actually felt a flicker of panic. Her surroundings were deathly silent, yet she could see nothing; before her eyes was a vast, empty void.

She felt apprehensive when standing up to walk, fearing that in the next second, she would step into thin air and fall into an unknown abyss.

Wei Jiangxue even began to worry whether System 233 was a creation of her own imagination.

But after using the voice assistant to open her phone, Wei Jiangxue breathed a sigh of relief—she had the voice assistant read through her contacts one by one, confirming that the names and contact information of her sister and grandmother were not there.

Using her relatives as an anchor point, Wei Jiangxue confirmed that the system, the Transmigration Bureau, and the tasks they assigned were all real.

In that case, she had to take today’s task seriously; she needed to return to her relatives’ side as soon as possible to accompany them.

Wei Jiangxue plucked up her courage and pushed open the door to Mi Ruian’s room next door.

Blind as she was, she did not know that the moment she entered this bedroom, a small bunny plushie sitting at the head of the bed had an abnormal reaction—a tiny, flickering light ignited within its translucent red gemstone eyes.

Several kilometers away, having received an alarm signal from the smart monitoring system, Mi Ruian opened the real-time surveillance.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she watched a certain blind Alpha rummaging sneakily through her room, beginning to wonder if the other party was doing it intentionally or by accident.

The layout of the two bedrooms partitioned by the landlord was mirrored, so Wei Jiangxue thought of the wardrobe’s position in her own room, but her feet walked in the opposite direction. She reached out her hand and successfully felt the wardrobe.

Simply by groping with her hands, Wei Jiangxue could tell that Mi Ruian was a person with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Not just OCD, this woman also had a lot of clothes—nearly enough to make the wardrobe burst. Wei Jiangxue suspected that even if she took four or five pieces, the other party very likely wouldn’t notice.

The clothes in the wardrobe were sorted into zones by season and size, with each area arranged neatly.

Considering it was currently winter, Wei Jiangxue took a sweater that felt very soft to the touch.

Out of habit, she lowered her head and caught a faint scent from the garment; the fragrance of the detergent was exactly the same as the rose scent on Mi Ruian’s body. Subsequently, Wei Jiangxue’s face turned a deep crimson.

It was one thing to sneak in and take clothes while the owner was away, but why did she have to smell it? That made her seem even more like a pervert!

With the clothes in hand, Wei Jiangxue closed the cabinet door and searched for the location of the accessories. This morning, 233 had only said they were in a cabinet near the balcony. Wei Jiangxue slowly felt her way over.

When her fingertips touched the wooden cabinet, Wei Jiangxue knew she had found the right place.

Even though she was the only one in the room at this moment, Wei Jiangxue was so nervous she almost stopped breathing.

In one go, she pulled open the cabinet door and reached her hand into the second zone mentioned by System 233. Soon, she felt various neatly arranged velvet boxes.

The velvet on the boxes felt delicate to the touch; one touch was enough for Wei Jiangxue to know these were the most common containers on the market for storing rings, necklaces, and other items.

After thinking it over, Wei Jiangxue took the box furthest from the cabinet door to make it easier for her to restore the scene later.

Since nothing thrilling or dangerous happened during the task process, Wei Jiangxue carried the clothes and the jewelry box back to her own room.

The jewelry she got was a ring. Judging from the shape she felt, the ring should have a very large main stone, though Wei Jiangxue had no way of seeing how dazzling and beautiful it was.

Wei Jiangxue picked up the sweater and pulled it over her inner garments, then slipped the ring onto her index finger.

She muttered to herself, “Don’t blame me, I’m sorry. This cannon fodder will put it back for you after the task is done…”

The act of stealing was still quite a challenge to Wei Jiangxue’s moral bottom line, but she ultimately chose to do the bad deed. Nothing was more important than going home, so Wei Jiangxue suppressed her conscience to bully the protagonist.

She hoped Mi Ruian wouldn’t discover that she had secretly taken her things—ideally, she would come back a bit later, giving Wei Jiangxue plenty of time to return the items to their rightful owner. That way, no one would be hurt, and everyone would benefit.

Wei Jiangxue happily ignored the fact that Mi Ruian didn’t actually gain any benefit from this. She picked up her blind cane and began to walk out.

System 233 said the cannon fodder Alpha would thick-headedly wear the items out to show off. She would go to the nearest park; it would be a good chance to take a walk as well.

And Wei Jiangxue didn’t know that Mi Ruian had already seen her malicious behavior clearly through the surveillance.

Mi Ruian watched with her own eyes as she brazenly made off with her clothes. Fine, let her take them, but why did she lower her head to smell them…

Recalling Wei Jiangxue’s arrogance when they first met, her docility in the live stream, and now her perversion… Mi Ruian was experiencing an unprecedented sense of bewilderment.

Does this Alpha know what she is doing?

What kind of normal Alpha would smell the clothes of an unfamiliar roommate, and even put those clothes on!

Was the disgust and repulsion Wei Jiangxue initially showed real?

She clearly wasn’t very friendly when she first moved in, so why did she change into a different person in private?

If Mi Ruian hadn’t been in the habit of installing surveillance cameras around her during her life at the Mi residence, she probably wouldn’t know even now that Wei Jiangxue would secretly do these things.

“What exactly does she want to do?”

Mi Ruian couldn’t see through the true intention of Wei Jiangxue’s every move, because every step the other party took was outside her expectations.

Now Wei Jiangxue had even picked up her blind cane; by any account, she looked like she was about to head out.

She had encountered a pickpocket before. If Mi Ruian hadn’t happened to see it and help resolve it, Wei Jiangxue probably would have been at a loss once she returned to the rental house and found her phone missing.

Now she dared to go out alone, and in the area around the low-rent housing…

Where was she going? Feeling frustrated, Mi Ruian simply turned off the surveillance.

Since she had finished handling the matters at hand anyway, she would head back to the rental house and prepare to catch this despicable little thief, Wei Jiangxue, in person.

A kilometer away from the low-rent housing was a small park built in the last century. Its facilities were quite dilapidated, and most of the people coming and going were residents living in the vicinity.

Because it was still during most people’s working and school hours, there wasn’t much activity when Wei Jiangxue arrived with her blind cane.

She found a chance to sit on the swing that was usually occupied by children.

She would only play for a little while, and then go back to restore Mi Ruian’s room—that was Wei Jiangxue’s plan. She used the tips of her toes to push against the ground, setting herself and the swing in motion, while her hands tightly gripped the swing ropes and the blind cane.

A slightly cold wind brushed against her cheeks. Wei Jiangxue kept her eyes open but still couldn’t see anything ahead clearly. She simply closed her eyes, pretending she had never lost her sight.

Her cheeks were somewhat stiff from the cold; Wei Jiangxue knew in her heart that it was time to go back.

She sat and rested for a moment, rubbed her face, then stood up and slowly thought about how to navigate the path back.

“Wei Jiangxue, what a coincidence, you’re here too.”

The voice Wei Jiangxue least expected suddenly rang out; the speaker was less than five meters away from her.

Wei Jiangxue was struck with terror but forced herself to remain calm. “Mi Ruian? What a coincidence…”

The task 233 assigned didn’t say the cannon fodder would have a face-to-face encounter with the protagonist this time! She remembered clearly that the protagonist only discovered the cannon fodder had stolen her clothes and accessories much later. Why was she being exposed now?

Guilt, shame, and other emotions flooded her at once; Wei Jiangxue felt her face burning. She quietly hid her hand behind her back, concealing the ring on her index finger to prevent Mi Ruian from discovering even more.

To her surprise, Mi Ruian didn’t question the origin of the clothes on Wei Jiangxue’s body. Instead, she smiled good-naturedly and asked, “Are you planning to go back to the rental house now? Me too. Let’s go together.”

Her tone allowed for no refusal, and Wei Jiangxue reluctantly agreed.

After her mind raced for a while, Wei Jiangxue suddenly found a certain possibility—that was, Mi Ruian had too many clothes and perhaps didn’t even remember what she had to wear. That was likely why she didn’t directly drop all pretenses just now.

As soon as this thought appeared, everything seemed to be explained. Wei Jiangxue suddenly wasn’t so guilty anymore. She pursed her lips and continued listening to Mi Ruian striking up a conversation beside her.

“I just happened to get off work early today. I didn’t expect to run into you here. Did you come out to clear your head by yourself?”

“…Yes, it was too stifling at home.”

“Did you used to come out by yourself before? The infrastructure in this urban village is a bit poor. I saw that the tactile paving for the blind is blocked in many sections. It must be very hard for you to live here alone.”

“It’s alright…”

The two chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they were back in front of the rental house.

While waiting for Mi Ruian to open the door, Wei Jiangxue heard her ask—

“…Speaking of which, it’s quite a coincidence. I kept thinking your sweater looked very familiar just now. I remembered that I seem to have one in the same style. Yours is very well-made. I’ll go find mine in a moment to compare. If yours is more perfect, then I’ll have to throw mine away and buy the same brand as you.”
