The CEO Omega’s 'Soft Rice' Alpha - Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Sunlight spilled into the room, warm and bright.

Sitting in front of the dressing table.

Layer upon layer of cool toner, lotion, and cream were applied to her face by those soft, fair hands. Smelling the mint fragrance close at hand, Su Yi’an’s entire body went stiff. “Sister, maybe… I should do it myself.”

Those surging waves kept swaying before her eyes; she couldn’t take it. Furthermore, was her sister doing her makeup? What would she look like? Would her sister recognize her? Probably not; everyone’s makeup technique is different, and she herself usually preferred heavy, mature, and sexy makeup. Despite knowing this, Su Yi’an still felt a bit apprehensive. Her relationship with her sister hadn’t progressed far enough yet; it couldn’t withstand any storms. If her sister suspected her, it would be disastrous.

Lan Yan was currently drawing Su Yi’an’s eyebrows. Hearing this, she gave a soft laugh, her eyes rippling with a hint of playfulness. “Do it yourself? Do you even know how?”

She had never seen the younger girl wear makeup. However, this skin—even with her staying up late these past few days—was much better than her own as an Omega. There wasn’t a single pimple; she truly deserved to be called a young person more than six years younger than herself. The skin under her hand was smooth and elastic. Facing those eyes that were staring at her intently, Lan Yan felt a spark in her mind and, as if possessed, gently pinched the girl’s slightly flushed cheek.

Su Yi’an felt as if she were about to go up in flames. Her gaze darkened slightly, and she said decisively, “I know how, Sister.”

Is Sister looking down on her? Perhaps brainwashed by the novels Chen Zhi had sent her, even though she knew her sister was talking about makeup, Su Yi’an uncontrollably let her thoughts wander. Also, what was the meaning of this little gesture of pinching her face? Was she intentionally teasing her, testing her patience? Facing her sister, she didn’t have much patience at all.

“Sister, I know how,” Su Yi’an emphasized again with a double meaning.

Even if she didn’t know, she would learn. She wouldn’t let her sister feel unsatisfied.

Lan Yan didn’t catch the hidden meaning. Seeing the younger girl so eager to prove herself, she couldn’t help but chuckle. She took out a lipstick and began to outline her lips. “I know, but it’s almost done. Don’t move.”

The dull lips were stained bit by bit with brilliant color. The younger girl, who was already good-looking, suddenly seemed to bloom. Especially after removing her glasses, the slightly sharp corners of her eyes and brows carried a hint of sophistication that an adult could not resist. The student-like air vanished completely; she looked like a different person.

The makeup she had applied was, by design, mature and charming.

Fragments of memory seemed to flash through Lan Yan’s mind; she couldn’t catch them, but her heart inexplicably trembled. Her original intention was to apply makeup so that people familiar with the younger girl wouldn’t recognize her. She hadn’t expected to see a version of her with even more charm—like a seductive fox spirit, stirring even Lan Yan’s perennially cold heart. Especially the dazed innocence in the girl’s eyes made Lan Yan feel like a bad older sister leading a good student astray.

Lan Yan’s hand holding the lipstick paused. She hurriedly moved her gaze away and picked up a box from the table. Opening it, she took out a star-shaped sapphire diamond necklace.

“First, change into the dress and shoes over there. Then I’ll put the necklace on you. The heels aren’t high; you should be able to wear them.” She pointed to the boxes in the wardrobe, speaking in as cold a voice as possible.

Su Yi’an was still dazed. She truly hadn’t expected “Sister Grape” to suddenly take off her glasses while applying lipstick, leaving her mind a complete blank. She hadn’t reacted to anything and could only stare blankly at her sister. It was too sudden; she didn’t even have time to feign an expression. The peaks of her brows and the corners of her eyes were things she couldn’t hide or disguise; otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to wear glasses in the first place.

Fortunately, her sister didn’t seem to notice anything; her expression remained normal.

Su Yi’an closed her eyes slightly, pretending: “Sister, can I wear my glasses? I can’t see anything clearly without them.” As she spoke, to add credibility, she let her body tilt slightly as she stood up.

Lan Yan caught her.

Su Yi’an successfully got a full embrace, but her face was full of nervousness: “I’m sorry, Sister.”

The system silently gave a thumbs-up: “Host’s acting of high myopia is truly realistic. There will surely be a place for you in the future film industry. I wonder if the Host is interested in entering show business? ‘Little Crying Bag’ is cheering for you.”

Su Yi’an: “…”

What else can I do? Many people said her eyes were too sharp, like a wolf’s. If she lost her glasses and accidentally exposed the emotions in her eyes, what if she scared her sister? She would just pretend she was nearsighted.

Lan Yan stiffened for a moment from the embrace, then let out a helpless sigh. She took out a pair of delicate, small silver-rimmed glasses. “That pair of glasses is too clunky and doesn’t match your current aura. Wear these. I remember you saying both your eyes are 5.2 (520) diopters, right?”

“Pfft…” The system let out an unkind burst of laughter.

Su Yi’an’s face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and put on the glasses, enduring the dizziness. “Thank you, Sister.”

That’s right—even the nearsightedness she lied about was a degree of “loving her sister” (520 sounds like “I love you” in Chinese). Only now, after putting them on, everything she saw was distorted. Endure it! It’s only for one night. She would fulfill the lie she told even if it killed her.

“Go change.” Lan Yan unnaturally brushed away Su Yi’an’s hand, which was gripping her tightly.

“Okay.”

After putting on the glasses, Su Yi’an couldn’t see clearly at all and wasn’t adjusted to them. On her very first step, she almost tripped. Fortunately, with the agile reflexes of a martial artist, she quickly adjusted her stance so she didn’t fall on the spot. However, her gait was truly strange. Swaying and stumbling, like she was drunk, looking like she would fall every two steps.

Lan Yan’s eyelids twitched as she watched. She was about to speak when she saw the younger girl’s gait return to normal. Most likely, she just wasn’t used to the new glasses—or perhaps the degree of nearsightedness the girl told her wasn’t accurate at all. Given the girl’s family background, it was questionable whether she had ever had her vision measured properly. Now, it didn’t seem like a big problem.

However, before Lan Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the younger girl walk to the black dress, grab the hem of her T-shirt with both hands, and prepare to change right in front of her.

“Su Yi’an, go to the bathroom!” Lan Yan turned around, face flushed, calling her by her full name for the first time in her urgency. But mindful of Lan Yin outside, she didn’t forget to keep her voice down. Thus, calling her by her full name sounded more like how an old married couple might address each other, still carrying a hint of tenderness.

Su Yi’an’s hand on the hem of her shirt paused. Obediently, she took the dress to the bathroom. Since she really couldn’t adapt to these high-prescription glasses, she tried her best not to use her eyes to see the path but used her spiritual sense to perceive her surroundings. Finally, she managed to walk as if she weren’t wearing glasses at all.

As the master bedroom, it naturally had an en-suite bathroom. Su Yi’an hadn’t thought of this; plus, she felt that changing in front of her sister was no big deal. But if her sister minded, she naturally had to listen.

Thinking of the beautiful sight she saw when she woke up this morning, Su Yi’an felt as if her heart were coated in honey. Since her sister minded so much, why did she change in the bedroom this morning instead of the bathroom? Wasn’t it because she saw her asleep and was afraid the sound of the bathroom door would wake her? It seemed she wasn’t entirely absent from her sister’s heart. Taking her sister’s heart was just around the corner. At this thought, Su Yi’an’s breathing became fervent.

Seeing that the younger girl was reasonably obedient, Lan Yan’s embarrassment finally faded. She sat in the chair the girl had just occupied and took out her phone, intending to play a game for a bit, when the bathroom door creaked open.

The usually pure and well-behaved little Alpha walked out wearing the black dress. The dress wasn’t fully put on yet; the contrast of black and white was the purest temptation. She looked even more like a fox spirit. Yet, she still used that incredibly well-behaved voice to call Lan Yan: “Sister, I can’t reach the zipper on my back. Can you help me?”

Lan Yan took a deep breath before suppressing the inexplicable throb in her heart. She stood up, her voice cold: “Come here.”

It was just a zipper. Even if it was difficult to pull up, Su Yi’an could have found a way—provided she was alone, of course. Now that her sister was here, she naturally had to turn to her sister when facing “difficulties.”

Su Yi’an looked embarrassed on the outside, but inside she was blooming with joy. She stepped forward as told and revealed her back. There were still a few faint red marks on it; if one looked closely, they could still be seen. Being directly in front of her like this, as the person involved, it was hard for Lan Yan not to see them.

Inevitably, she remembered every moment she had lost control. She remembered clearly how her fingernails had sunk deep into this silk-like skin. The sunlight made everything clear. Lan Yan could no longer remain calm; the hand holding the zipper was trembling slightly. She wanted to lock away this patch of white immediately. However, the more hurried she was, the more the zipper seemed to work against her. Fine sweat appeared on her forehead, yet she couldn’t pull it up. It seemed to be stuck somewhere.

Su Yi’an didn’t know how anxious the person behind her was. She was immersed in the mint fragrance that was gradually surrounding her. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she also seemed to smell a faint grape scent. It felt as if “Sister Grape” were embracing her from behind.

Lan Yan’s pheromones lost control again. Already in her special period, she was triggered by the sight of the little Alpha’s back. she wanted to smell that scent of wine, wanted to be held and kissed by the little Alpha, wanted to bite her neck… Fortunately, her reason was still there, enough to last until she could go to the living room to get the medicine and water.

But Lan Yin was in the living room. Going out meant exposing everything. Lan Yan’s expression wavered, but she successfully pulled the zipper up. However, she didn’t feel any better. Her fingertips even reached toward the little Alpha’s neck. Her fingertips were cool. Being touched in such a place, Su Yi’an wasn’t a block of wood; how could she not feel it? Moreover, this was the touch of her beloved.

Su Yi’an’s body stiffened for only a second before she proactively offered her neck: “Is Sister feeling unwell again?”

“Mm.”

After touching the little Alpha’s neck, Lan Yan embraced her, her voice muffled and carrying a rare hint of coquettishness.

“Then… Then I’ll help Sister.” Su Yi’an grasped her hands resting on her waist, her eyes shining as she stood with her back to her. Since her sister was in trouble, she was naturally duty-bound—absolutely not because of lust.

“Lan Yin is still there. No medicine, no pheromones.” Lan Yan shook her head, the corners of her eyes already stained with an enchanting red. Their long hair was tangled together. She couldn’t help but lean closer and closer, and then pressed her lips against the skin not covered by hair.

Soon, red marks were left on Su Yi’an’s neck, one after another. They were the exact same color as the lipstick on Lan Yan’s lips.

Su Yi’an swallowed hard and turned around impulsively. The lipstick her sister had just applied for her was now all smeared onto her sister’s lips. After a deep kiss ended, Su Yi’an regained her reason. She pulled away and walked toward the bedroom door: “Sister, I’ll go get the medicine.”

Without pheromones, she couldn’t help her sister. Unfortunately, the medicine that could draw out her pheromones was all in the living room. Currently, her points weren’t enough, and the system had no solution. she couldn’t just stand by and watch her sister suffer. If she looked any longer, she wouldn’t be able to hold back. If Lan Yin found out, so be it; nothing was more important than her sister.

At this moment, Lan Yan, who had been kissed until her eyes were filled with mist, held her back and said with unsteady breath: “I’ll go get it.” She hadn’t completely lost her mind. It was better for her to go out than for the little Alpha to show her face. Lan Yan believed this, unaware of how indescribable her current appearance—eyes swimming with desire—really was. Not to mention her lips and neck were covered in red marks, and her clothes were wrinkled. No one would believe nothing had happened.

But since her sister insisted on going out herself, Su Yi’an could only indulge her. Fortunately, there was water and a towel in the bathroom. Su Yi’an carefully wiped away those suspicious marks for Lan Yan and smoothed her clothes before letting her out with a hint of worry.

Stung by cold water, Lan Yan regained more of her senses. When she walked out of the bedroom, except for the scent of pheromones and a gaze different from usual, she was almost no different from her normal self—still noble and cold.

Yet it was precisely this small difference that let Lan Yin see a clue. She hurriedly put down her brush and supported Lan Yan with concern: “Young Aunt, are your pheromones out of control again?” She nervously took out her phone: “I’ll call Doctor Jiang immediately.”

“It’s nothing.” Lan Yan shook her head gently and held down her phone, her voice already carrying a hint of huskiness. “I can handle it.”

Handle it? How do you handle such a thing? Even if Young Aunt did it herself, it wouldn’t work without an Alpha’s pheromones. Lan Yin thought while suppressing her embarrassment.

Until she saw her young aunt take a bottle of medicine from the TV stand and return to the bedroom. That bottle of medicine was used to induce pheromones in Alphas; surely Young Aunt wasn’t taking it herself. So, there really was an Alpha hidden in Young Aunt’s bedroom, and it seemed that Alpha’s pheromones weren’t enough, requiring the use of this medicine.

Lan Yin’s face was completely red. Looking at the closed bedroom door, she couldn’t sit or stand. Her heart felt as if a thousand ants were crawling on it—a very strange sensation. She wasn’t in the mood to paint, but she couldn’t go and listen to her aunt’s bedroom affairs; she wasn’t that thick-skinned. Maybe she should just go to sleep. When she woke up, she would pretend she didn’t know anything.

Too embarrassed to look further for the Alpha who made her aunt’s eyes watery, Lan Yin walked dizzily into the other bedroom. The sheets inside were clean, as if her aunt had changed them specifically for her arrival, carrying only the fragrance of laundry detergent. Initially, she thought she would hear some discordant sounds, but to her surprise, the room with poor soundproofing was quiet, and she heard nothing. She also thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but her biological clock kicked in, and she fell into a daze and drifted off.

On the other side, the person suffering the most was Su Yi’an.

It was another temporary marking. Having all her emotions stirred up, she once again had to consider “Sister Grape’s” wishes and suppress them. Lan Yan, on the other hand, had returned to normal, except for a lingering trace of red at the corners of her eyes. One stood by the window letting the breeze blow, while the other sat in a chair with her head lowered, each with their own thoughts.

The large bedroom was silent to the extreme—so silent that Lan Yan could hear the little Alpha’s slightly rapid breathing and racing heartbeat.

“Is it very uncomfortable?” Lan Yan left the window and looked at the little Alpha in the chair, asking what was clearly a pointless question. Few Alphas could accept temporary markings, because few could endure the repeated abrupt endings. Let alone the little Alpha—even as an Omega, Lan Yan felt a sense of emptiness in her heart after a temporary marking ended, as if something were missing. It was just that she wasn’t as uncomfortable once her pheromones were alleviated.

Su Yi’an didn’t answer but looked up, letting Lan Yan see the frustration in her eyes. She wanted her sister, wanted a complete marking. If none of that were possible, a cigarette would do—but none of those things could be done.

With makeup on, the little Alpha’s expression was quite something. It had both the charm of a mature woman and the innocence of a youth—like two extremes perfectly blended together. Lan Yan’s heart twitched, and she looked away with a red face. After a long while, she looked at Su Yi’an again: “Your lipstick is gone. Put it on again.”

Su Yi’an: “…”

Just this one sentence? Sister won’t even hug or kiss me? After I’ve endured so much pain. Well, she would pay her back twofold in the future. Su Yi’an made another note in her mental notebook.

Lan Yan took another look at her unusually clean neck: “Put the necklace on too.”

Su Yi’an: “Okay.”

Why would Sister rather focus on trivial matters than care about me? That “is it very uncomfortable” just now seemed like it was just a polite, offhand remark, like asking “have you eaten today?” If she had known, she would have said she was uncomfortable directly. She thought staying silent would earn more concern from her sister; perhaps her sister didn’t understand the frustration in her eyes at all. This frustration was for nothing.

In the end, Su Yi’an applied the lipstick and put on the necklace herself. Lan Yan took the opportunity to use some scent-suppressing spray; she even sprayed some on Su Yi’an, completely covering the intermingled scents of the two.

“Lan Yin should be napping at this time. She’ll wake up in about half an hour. Let’s leave now while we can.” After tidying everything up, Lan Yan checked the time. There was still a while before the banquet, but if they didn’t leave now, it would be hard to find another chance once Lan Yin woke up. Since it was too early, they could go sit somewhere else.

Su Yi’an naturally agreed to whatever her sister said and immediately picked up her backpack to leave with her. Lan Yan looked at the canvas bag, which was completely out of character for her current look, and frowned slightly. However, she just picked up another bag and walked in front of Su Yi’an, saying cautiously: “I’ll go out first to check. Once I’m sure Lan Yin is asleep, I’ll call you.”

The two successfully left the house. After getting into the car, Lan Yan sent a message to Lan Yin. Before stepping on the gas, she asked Su Yi’an in the passenger seat: “It’s still early for the banquet. Where do you want to go?”

Normally, a movie would be the best way to kill time, but they had just seen one last night, and the memory of that awkwardness was still fresh; she really didn’t want to go through it again. For a moment, she really couldn’t think of a good place to go. Aside from shopping malls, there wasn’t much to browse nearby. If all else failed, they could just sit in the car and wait. But it was too stuffy here; she didn’t mind because she could work in the car, but a young person like the little Alpha would find it very boring. She couldn’t just think of herself.

Su Yi’an shook her head: “Wherever Sister says. I’m not familiar with this area either.”

Actually, she had many places she wanted to go with her sister—for example, the amusement parks and various scenic spots often frequented by young couples in books. she also wanted to take her sister to eat many delicious things. she and her sister had many wonderful memories that belonged only to the two of them. But this time was different from the barbecue; without He Xia to take the blame, if she proposed such things out of the blue, her sister would likely become suspicious. So, it was better not to say anything.

Lan Yan glanced at her: “Then… just a casual stroll?”

Actually, she wasn’t familiar with the food or entertainment around here either. In the past, her life was a straight line between home and the company. This apartment was a gift from her cousin recently, and she had only just moved in. Just a casual stroll—go wherever they ended up; it would be better than staying here. During the barbecue last time, she noticed the little Alpha had a big appetite. For instance, this time, even though Lan Yin’s cooking wasn’t great, the little Alpha finished everything. An Alpha’s appetite is naturally larger than most people’s; perhaps the little Alpha wasn’t full at all but was just too embarrassed to say.

It was hot, and it really wasn’t suitable to stay in the car for long. Better to wander around and buy some food for the little Alpha. It must be said that facing the little Alpha she felt guilty toward, Lan Yan was ultimately more considerate and patient than she was with others.

“Okay.”

Su Yi’an responded quickly. To her, this was an unexpected surprise. she thought that with her sister’s personality, she would rather stay in the car and work than go out for a stroll. Lan Yan looked at the little Alpha, whose eyes were clearly brighter, smiled, and drove out of the underground parking lot.

As expected, this young person still liked going out for a walk. However, with the little Alpha looking like this, her “head-turn rate” would be very high. Lan Yan thought for a moment. While waiting for a red light at an intersection, she gave a white mask to Su Yi’an: “There’s a lot of dust and smoke on the road. Wear this.” She had intended to give her a pair of sunglasses, but considering the girl’s nearsightedness, she decided against it. A mask would do the same, even if it were a bit hot.

As the foremost civilized city in the country, every aspect of the Capital was quite good. The roads were clean and not nearly as exaggerated as Lan Yan described. Su Yi’an knew this, but she didn’t expose the lie. She obediently put on the mask because she also didn’t want to be approached by people while shopping later. It wasn’t that she was conceited; it was just something that happened every time she dressed up. These days of peace were thanks to that pair of glasses her sister disliked; come to think of it, she hadn’t gone out with makeup on in a long time.
