The Reborn Scummy A and the Sickly O Got Together - Chapter 27

“You…” Feng Baiming rubbed her forehead.

After saying those words, the girl seemed to realize how poorly phrased they were, how inappropriate.

Her expression turned so flustered that she looked like a little lamb that had stumbled upon a big bad wolf.

Feng Baiming thought, Poor little alpha. If I tease her any further, she might actually cry.

How could there be an alpha like this in the world?

Feng Baiming watched as the girl hurriedly stammered, “I, I’ll accept your friend request later!”

And then left her with nothing but the sight of a fleeing figure.

As the pretty little alpha disappeared from view, Feng Baiming thoughtfully picked up her carrot juice and walked toward the backyard.

When did I become such a “mischievous” person?

“But bullying kids is kind of fun.”

She took a sip from the glass bottle and chuckled to herself. Sunlight danced in her eyes, filling them with lazy amusement.

The party proceeded as scheduled. Aside from Miss Feng’s sudden interference in that minor incident, the major events unfolded just as they had in the previous life.

Just like before, Luo Mingyue had stationed herself at the entrance early. She had considered waiting until seven o’clock to arrive, but she suddenly worried, what if Qin Yan came to the Lu family ahead of time? After all, the sequence of events wasn’t perfectly identical to the past.

Lu Ping was more than happy to have someone greet the guests at the door. He wandered over a little past six and said the exact same thing as he had in their previous life.

“Aren’t you hungry or tired?”

“As the host, it’s only right to welcome the guests,” Luo Mingyue replied with a gentle smile. “Big Brother, if you really care about me, why don’t we switch places?”

Lu Ping glanced at her. “Ah! There’s still so much to do inside. Mingyue, I’ll leave the greeting to you!”

As he walked away, he patted her shoulder and casually remarked, “Have you grown taller again? But being tall is good, it gives you presence when you dress up.”

Most of the guests attending tonight’s party were around twenty years old, primarily college-aged young men and women from the upper-class circles of the capital.

Given the vintage theme, many of the young ladies wore qipaos of various styles, while others opted for embroidered evening gowns.

Feng Baiming stood on the second-floor balcony. Her younger sister, Feng Shaoyang, had vanished again, rumor had it she’d gone to photograph the deserts of the northwest. Though this party was supposedly in her honor, Feng Baiming didn’t have a single close friend to share it with.

Resting her chin in her hand, she gazed down at the girl in the black embroidered dress. Her hair had been styled, tied into a small bun at the back with a red ribbon, while her bangs framed her face. The pale lip gloss on her fair skin made this alpha look gentle and lovely.

I want to pinch her cheeks.

She probably wouldn’t even dodge, just blush, avert her eyes, and stammer, “Miss Feng.”

Luo Mingyue really did resemble a wide-eyed puppy or an innocent, docile lamb. Feng Baiming wasn’t sure how to describe her thoughts about someone like this living in the Lu family. She wouldn’t call her weak, but she didn’t think Luo Mingyue was incompetent either.

Perhaps she just lacked guidance.

Feng Baiming’s gaze lingered on the girl below. Every guest who arrived could see her beauty, yet she was strangely reluctant to flaunt it.

She always dressed casually and carelessly. If it weren’t for formal occasions like tonight that required makeup and evening gowns, she had no doubt Luo Mingyue would still be wandering around in plain cotton shirts as usual.

But tonight, those who discovered her beauty wouldn’t be limited to Feng Baiming, the nominal protagonist of this banquet.

That much was obvious. Several elegant young ladies and gentlemen lingered at the entrance, reluctant to enter the hall.

And that tall, slender alpha girl with the warm smile had said something that made the young masters and ladies burst into clear laughter.

These youths radiated vibrant energy, their exquisite appearances far more vivid and beautiful than any artificially crafted scenery.

Feng Baiming rested her chin on her hand, quietly observing for quite some time. Only when someone noticed the Feng family’s eldest daughter on the second-floor balcony did she finally rise and withdraw her gaze.

A hint of unwillingness surfaced, it felt like something beautiful she’d discovered first was now being noticed and coveted by others.

Luo Mingyue lacked enthusiasm. She desperately wanted a cup of hot tea but still had to gather her energy to socialize with these young masters and ladies.

She couldn’t understand why they insisted on staying outside instead of moving indoors for socializing. Listening to a young lady’s compliment: “Your dress is stunning. Is this A-brand’s haute couture for this year? It suits an alpha like you perfectly. Someone shorter wouldn’t be able to carry this presence.”

A young master from some family directly reached out to touch the embroidery on her dress, saying, “Why didn’t you pair it with a matching bag? It would be even more striking with the right necklace and accessories.”

Why humans had so much meaningless chatter was perhaps something she’d never comprehend.

After perfunctorily complimenting their clothes and jewelry, they only grew more enthusiastic, refusing to clear a path for her to leave.

Fortunately, Qin Yan’s entrance was identical to her previous life. The man, standing just over 180cm, carried a bouquet of deep red roses so massive it nearly swallowed half his body, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Without bothering with politeness, Luo Mingyue pushed through the crowd and grabbed his shoulder. Startled, Qin Yan struggled to peek out from the floral sea: “What are you doing?”

Lowering her voice, she said, “It’s about Lu Jia. Don’t resist, come with me.”

Qin Yan’s expression wavered uncertainly as he half-resisted, half-followed this notorious female alpha from school into the building.

Many eyes followed them, whispering about why Qin Yan was so close with Luo Mingyue.

Once inside her second-floor room with the door closed, Luo Mingyue’s grave expression made Qin Yan clutch the bouquet tighter, his worry mounting: “Did something happen to Jiajia?”

“Qin Yan.” The female alpha called his name sternly, her words instantly putting him on edge.

“Stop pestering Lu Jia. Don’t you think you’re embarrassing yourself as an alpha?”

Her aggressive tone and the pressure in her alpha gaze made Qin Yan frown. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Then he snorted with disdain, saying, “What? The usually unflappable Luo Mingyue actually has this side to her? Those omegas and betas who adore you should see you now. I can’t imagine what they find worth liking in a spineless alpha like you.”

“Are you jealous of me?”

Luo Mingyue was genuinely surprised. The envy in Qin Yan’s words was unmistakable, yet it baffled her, how could someone of the same gender be jealous of an alpha like her?

“Jealous of what? Your people-pleasing nature?” he retorted sarcastically. “Lu Jia is your sister, so I’ll give you the benefit of doubt that you’re concerned for her. But stay out of matters of the heart. Do you know what Lu Jia told me? She said you’re like a fake person, sometimes she doesn’t need that kind of concern from you.”

Qin Yan spoke with righteous conviction, clearly seeing nothing wrong with his words as he continued championing Lu Jia’s cause. The young female alpha began emitting pheromones faint, yet carrying an undeniable pressure.

“You’re nearing your differentiation,” Qin Yan covered his nose. “Learn to control your pheromones. Surely you haven’t failed to master even this basic ability?”

“Delete all the photos, and I’ll let you leave this room.”

“What did you say?” Qin Yan’s expression darkened as comprehension dawned. “Lu Jia even told you about that?”

Of course, Luo Mingyue had no idea what photos he referred to. She simply said, “If you truly care for Jiajia, you’d better abandon your plans to confess tonight.”

“Why? Who sent you to say this? Did Lu Jia tell you everything? Why is she so against me announcing she’s my girlfriend?”

Luo Mingyue burst into laughter, her shoulders shaking.

Qin Yan’s words grew increasingly astonishing. Unlike her previous life where she’d patiently reasoned with him, her preemptive hostility had unexpectedly uncovered truths she’d never known before.

“Jiajia only sees you all as friends. It’s you alphas who misunderstood her.”

She struggled to suppress her urge to laugh hysterically. Look at this, how ridiculous. Human sincerity was truly meant to be trampled underfoot.

Whether it was her familial affection for Lu Jia, or these alphas’ so-called love for her…

Qin Yan seized the keyword, proving himself clever as he roared in fury, “She said people like Ailiya were just friends? In her words, I’m just a friend too?!”

“That bitch!” Qin Yan hurled the roses to the ground, his features twisting with malice.

Playing the loyal knight to perfection, Luo Mingyue blocked Qin Yan’s path. Whether from genuine anger or absurd amusement, she immersed herself in the role, confronting this pitiful, deceived alpha:

“Do you truly know what kind of person she is? With just a few words and some comfort, you assumed she genuinely cared for you. Is that really Lu Jia’s fault?”

“It’s your poor judgment,” Luo Mingyue sneered. “You deserve this outcome.”

Qin Yan threw a punch. As the two alphas released their pheromones and grappled, the omega who opened the door immediately reached for the pheromone neutralizer.

Facing the two remarkably attractive yet currently undignified figures on the floor, she immediately launched into a furious tirade without hesitation.

Only when the scent of pheromones in the room had been completely masked did Feng Baiming finally lower the hand covering her nose and mouth, letting out an exasperated sigh: “One already differentiated, one about to differentiate, now fighting over another omega girl.”

“Bravo.” Feng Baiming clapped her hands sarcastically. “I should applaud this melodramatic, ridiculous, absurd display of youthful passion in love!”

The words Luo Luo said to Qin Yan were actually meant for herself. Ah~
