The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 7

Mi Ruian’s View of Her

When Mi Ruian hurried back to the rental house, she thought she was hallucinating. After clearly seeing the face of the person sitting on the swing in the small park, she came to a sudden halt.

So, after Wei Jiangxue had secretly put on her clothes, she had run off to sit on a swing in the park.

Mi Ruian’s lips quirked, and she hesitated to speak.

Moving lightly and holding her breath, she approached Wei Jiangxue’s side. She watched as her blind roommate stood up cautiously, her expression dazed, as if she were trying to recall the path home.

Mi Ruian was nearly amused by her. After admiring Wei Jiangxue’s blank, silly state for a moment, she watched as the other woman began walking in the wrong direction.

Finally unable to contain herself, Mi Ruian called out, “Wei Jiangxue, what a coincidence. You’re here too.”

The person across from her clearly recognized her. Various expressions flashed across her face—guilt, hesitation, fear… it seemed she knew exactly what mistake she had committed.

Mi Ruian suddenly felt an urge to tease her. She pretended not to recognize the owner of the clothes at all and chatted with Wei Jiangxue in a friendly manner.

Before the two reached the rental house, Mi Ruian saw Wei Jiangxue regain her composure, and she knew it was time to close the net.

As the door opened, she straightened up. Instead of entering immediately, she let out a cold, malicious laugh and asked knowingly: “Speaking of which, it’s quite a coincidence. I kept thinking your clothes looked familiar just now. I remembered that I seem to have the same style…”

Mi Ruian watched the entire process of Wei Jiangxue’s face turning deathly pale. She was unwilling to blink, not wanting to miss a single micro-expression on the other’s face.

Why put on such an act? As if I’m the one bullying her.

But, clearly, it was Wei Jiangxue who did the bad thing first.

Mi Ruian smiled slightly and put her arm around Wei Jiangxue’s shoulder to lead her into the rental house. The latter seemed to have lost all ability to resist, allowing herself to be pushed inside.

Behind them, the security door was quietly locked.

Upon hearing Mi Ruian’s words, Wei Jiangxue’s brain lost all capacity for thought, and she froze on the spot.

The sounds of her surroundings suddenly dimmed. Wei Jiangxue felt as if she were submerged in water; the water pressure caused her hearing to fade, making Mi Ruian’s words sound indistinct. Her chest felt crushed by the pressure, making it difficult to breathe, let alone speak.

She didn’t even know if she should be thankful for her blindness, as it spared her from seeing Mi Ruian’s expression when she spoke those words, saving her from further embarrassment.

It’s okay, calm down. Suppose I were the original cannon fodder Alpha—how would she react after being exposed by the protagonist?

And has Mi Ruian really recognized her own things? Wei Jiangxue couldn’t tell from the other’s voice alone whether she was mocking her or if she was truly a “silly sweet” girl to such an extent.

How Mi Ruian thought or acted didn’t matter. What Wei Jiangxue needed to do right now was continue maintaining her persona as a shameless, rogue Alpha. Beyond that, she didn’t need to worry about anything.

First of all, someone who grandly steals a roommate’s private belongings and dares to flaunt them outside possesses a level of courage that ordinary thieves don’t have. Therefore, she must not appear too panicked; she had to be as arrogant as usual.

Wei Jiangxue forcibly suppressed her panic. Taking a deep breath, her body regained its strength, and she spoke with feigned contempt: “Hmph, what kind of good things could you possibly buy? You must have remembered wrong. These clothes of mine were custom-made by a studio. How could they be the same as yours?”

Wei Jiangxue began to turn black into white, attempting to confuse Mi Ruian’s perception.

Please, you must not remember what clothes are in your closet!

She prayed silently in her heart. Even though she couldn’t see, she kept her eyes fixed straight ahead as if she were making eye contact with Mi Ruian.

Mi Ruian remained silent for a long time. Wei Jiangxue’s legs were growing sore. She pursed her lips, calculating whether she should say something else.

Just then, Mi Ruian spoke: “Ah, so they’re custom-made. Maybe I really did remember wrong. Having too many clothes is a bit of a hassle.”

Yes, that’s it. Wei Jiangxue instantly felt relieved: “You idiots are all like this, with terrible memories. Let’s end the chat here. Thanks for walking me back. I’m going inside now; don’t bother me if there’s nothing important.”

She was about to step forward the next second, but she suddenly froze—when Mi Ruian had ushered her into the rental house, Wei Jiangxue hadn’t memorized her current orientation at all.

She couldn’t bring herself to ask Mi Ruian, so she simply used her blind cane and hands to explore the space around her.

Mi Ruian should be in front of me… Wei Jiangxue thought this as she first moved to the left. Her cane met an obstruction, and her hand touched something soft and warm.

Wei Jiangxue let out a startled cry and recoiled, her back hitting the wall.

Shouldn’t Mi Ruian be in front of her? Why was she to her left? Then, just now, hadn’t she been righteously talking to thin air!

How ridiculous! Mi Ruian was something else too, just watching her talk to the air like that without the common sense to move in front of her!

If the speechlessness and shame in Wei Jiangxue’s heart could turn into water, it would be enough to flood the entire apartment and drown her along with it.

“Are you okay?” Mi Ruian seemed startled by Wei Jiangxue’s reaction as well, immediately stepping forward to support her.

However, Wei Jiangxue harshly slapped her hand away. She felt along the wall to find her spatial bearings in the apartment and returned to her room without a word.

Mi Ruian stood in place, listening to the usually quiet Alpha roommate stomping on the floor so loudly it sounded like she was stepping on someone she hated.

She lowered her head, staring at the red mark on the back of her hand where she had been slapped, and suddenly, her lips curled into a smile.

[Heavens, Host! You are simply the most amazing host in the world! I was away for two hours, and you actually completed the mission on your own—the rating is even S-rank!!!]

As soon as it returned to Wei Jiangxue’s side, System 233 began shouting and wildly praising her.

Wei Jiangxue really wanted to press a mute button on it: “Stop talking! I totally humiliated myself today!”

[Does it have to do with the mission protagonist?]

233 made a guess and hit the mark almost perfectly.

Wei Jiangxue buried her head in her blanket, her voice sounding muffled: “Yeah… she happened to see me wandering around in her clothes. But she didn’t seem to recognize that they were hers, so I spoke harshly and belittled her again.”

233 was a bit confused: [Doesn’t that mean you completed it quite well?]

“The point is—Mi Ruian actually let me talk to a bunch of air! I thought she was standing right in front of me! She didn’t even remind me! Great, now my ‘majestic’ posture of talking to the air has been seen by her…” Wei Jiangxue didn’t expect 233 to understand; she was just venting her emotions.

[How terrible! I mean, she really should have said something to you!] 233 was very supportive, immediately joining Wei Jiangxue in criticizing the protagonist, Mi Ruian.

After the person and system finished venting, Wei Jiangxue felt much better. She thought for a moment and added, “You taught me yesterday not to let my pheromones scatter. I controlled them well today and didn’t leave the scent of Freesia in Mi Ruian’s room. But the protagonist is impressive too—I smelled her clothes, and she really didn’t leak even a trace of pheromones. It was all that synthetic rose fragrance from the market.”

[Of course, Mi Ruian is the protagonist after all. Besides, her uncle is currently searching for her. If she exposed her pheromones—not to mention whether she would harm the Alphas or Omegas around her—she would definitely be found and captured by Mi Feng.]

System 233 actually quite liked the protagonist, Mi Ruian. The latter was a rare beauty, and she looked exceptionally pleasing standing next to Wei Jiangxue.

It hadn’t told Wei Jiangxue that every time the cannon fodder A and the protagonist O appeared in a scene together, it recorded a video and secretly created CP (pairing) content. On the social software used by systems, these fanworks of Wei Jiangxue × Mi Ruian posted by 233 were actually quite popular.

Thinking about missing another interaction between Wei Jiangxue and Mi Ruian today, 233 felt a bit regretful. It promised: [Next time, I’ll try not to let the Transmigration Bureau’s sudden tasks affect things here. I’ll keep a close eye on everything.]

Unaware of System 233’s hidden schemes, Wei Jiangxue was instantly moved: “233… you’re such a good system. I’ll work hard to complete the missions too!”

“But… I forgot to ask before. Will Mi Ruian’s pheromones affect me? Having a pheromone setting that causes physical adverse reactions in Alphas and Omegas is way too overpowered. I don’t want to be affected by her pheromones; it must be very uncomfortable.”

[Don’t worry. Setting aside whether we’ll encounter Mi Ruian exposing her pheromones in this world, if we do, I will immediately shield your sense of smell. Pheromones are generally perceived through the olfactory organs. While your skin and other areas might feel discomfort if the concentration is too high, most of the time, no one releases that much.]

System 233 gave a very certain answer. With it there, Wei Jiangxue would definitely remain unharmed.

[Oh, right. Also, even though I set your pheromone level very high, it will be subject to restrictions. After all, I’m just an employee of the Cannon Fodder Roleplay System, and the characters you play are all cannon fodder. Theoretically, you cannot possess abilities that surpass the protagonist’s. So, in front of the protagonist, your pheromones might undergo other random adjustments. As for what they are, it might depend on the arrangements of this small world.]

Wei Jiangxue looked bewildered: “What influences the consciousness of the small world then? Will it make me very weak?”

[The consciousness of the small world mainly looks at the child of fortune, which is our mission’s protagonist. Whatever she subconsciously wants you to be like, you might become like that. If it really comes to a situation where things are unfavorable for you, I will provide emergency assistance. Transmigration Bureau employees do their best to ensure the safety of every host.]

Wei Jiangxue blinked. So, it still depends on Mi Ruian’s view of her…

Then I’m totally doomed. Wei Jiangxue felt the road ahead was pitch black. It seemed she would have to keep her pheromones well hidden. At any rate, being able to suppress some minor characters was already quite good—she just couldn’t contend with the protagonist.
