The Villainous Female Side Character Pretends to Be an Omega in the Apocalypse and Raises a Cat - Chapter 4

Only three days remained until the apocalypse.

Media outlets, like sharks drawn to the scent of blood, clung tightly to the social hotspots, churning out articles one after another in a race to report.

“XX Location Sees Increase of XX People with Fever and Unconsciousness”

“Latest Developments on the Cause of the Illness”

Aside from these, there were also scattered prophetic articles.

Chi Yingdong casually clicked on one to read. The author spoke with conviction, citing anomalies from around the world as signs of the impending apocalypse.

Scrolling down to the comments section, most people treated it as mere entertainment, not believing the apocalypse would truly arrive.

Only a few, adopting the mindset of “better safe than sorry,” stockpiled some daily necessities.

“Ding dong…”

A notification sounded on her phone, indicating a new WeChat message.

Chi Yingdong switched to the WeChat interface, her fingers tapping on the screen.

Meng Qinghe noticed that as she chatted with the person on the other end, Chi Yingdong’s eyes gradually grew cold.

The kitten jumped onto the back of the sofa, curiously peering at the screen, trying to see what they were discussing.

However, the kitten was a step too late, Chi Yingdong had already turned off her phone and slipped it into her pocket.

??

Meng Qinghe was filled with confusion. Who had made Chi Yingdong unhappy?

Chi Yingdong stood up, scooped up the kitten, and prepared to go out.

The kitten looked bewildered as it was taken to a café near the neighborhood. The café was quiet, with the soothing strains of a violin playing in the background.

Chi Yingdong found a corner seat by the window and ordered a mocha.

Meng Qinghe knew Chi Yingdong was waiting for the person who had just messaged her. Her eyes fixed on the entrance, curious to see who it was.

“Ding dong…”

The glass door of the café opened and closed, and a tall woman appeared at the entrance.

The woman scanned the café, and Meng Qinghe noticed her gaze lingering on their table for a moment. Sure enough, the woman walked toward them.

The woman had a neat short haircut and wore a fitted suit, with a pencil skirt that perfectly outlined the curves of her hips.

She exuded a cool and commanding aura, the very image of the “T” character from the domineering CEO and innocent flower story Meng Qinghe had written before transmigrating.

“Have a seat.”

Chi Yingdong gave the other woman a brief glance before lowering her head again to continue petting the cat.

The woman looked surprised at the kitten in Chi Yingdong’s arms, her brows slightly furrowed. “Since when did you get a cat?”

“Just felt like it.”

Chi Yingdong’s tone lacked warmth, while the other woman’s was overly familiar, which puzzled Meng Qinghe.

“Chi Yingdong, did I upset you?”

The other woman clearly sensed the distance in Chi Yingdong’s tone and felt baffled but still spoke patiently. “You haven’t replied to my messages or answered my calls lately. I wanted to come see you.”

Chi Yingdong: “!!!”

Meng Qinghe froze instantly. Wasn’t that the name of the malicious Omega female antagonist she had written?

Only then did she recall the inexplicable familiarity she had felt upon first meeting Chi Yingdong. Of course she was familiar, she was her own creation!!

Meng Qinghe lowered her eyelids, frustrated that it had taken her this long to figure out the situation.

Not long after, she suddenly lifted her head, remembering that in her original setting, the apocalypse was about to arrive.

Sixty percent of the world’s population would turn into zombies, followed by tsunamis, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, relentlessly shrinking humanity’s living space.

Rong City, being coastal, was one of the first cities to suffer.

In a desperate situation, Chi Yingdong and Qiao Ying journeyed north together to the official base. Along the way, they rescued the innocent and kind-hearted female lead who had been abandoned by her teammates.

Their duo became a trio. During their travels, Qiao Ying was moved by the female lead’s purity and kindness, and the two developed hidden feelings for each other.

Throughout the journey, the two were inseparable, always sticking together, which made Chi Yingdong realize that Qiao Ying’s heart had changed.

What ultimately drove Chi Yingdong to her dark transformation was when the female lead insisted on bringing along a father and son they encountered on the road. As a result, their supplies were stolen by the pair.

Chi Yingdong could no longer tolerate it and argued with the female lead.

In this matter, she didn’t expect Qiao Ying to join her in blaming the female lead, but to her surprise, Qiao Ying failed to distinguish right from wrong and instead accused her of being cold-hearted and ruthless.

From that point on, Chi Yingdong began to secretly sabotage the female lead. During a zombie horde, she pushed the female lead into the crowd of zombies to save herself.

After the truth came to light, Qiao Ying repaid her in kind, and Chi Yingdong ultimately met her end in the mouths of the zombies.

As for it, a small cat with no ability to protect itself, after losing its owner’s protection, it was eventually skinned and boiled for food by humans driven mad by hunger.

The female lead’s dream of having a cat was shattered, and she ended up as the cat of the malicious supporting character.

What a disastrous start!!

Meng Qinghe was filled with regret.

If she had known this day would come, she would never have followed the trend and written some domineering CEO and innocent flower ABO novel, especially one set in an apocalyptic background!

These past few days of interacting with Chi Yingdong had allowed her to genuinely feel a long-lost warmth. She didn’t want to see Chi Yingdong repeat her mistakes and end up in such a tragic fate.

But how could she change this predetermined future?

At this time, Meng Qinghe hadn’t yet realized that the plot’s development had long since deviated from its original course.

Chi Yingdong had been reborn and already knew about the apocalypse’s arrival. She even possessed a space ability that Meng Qinghe hadn’t written into her setting.

Meng Qinghe’s heart was filled with fear and unease, her tail unconsciously twitching erratically behind her.

The two parted on bad terms. Chi Yingdong took a small sip of her mocha, the taste slightly bitter in her mouth.

It was hard for her to articulate exactly what she felt for Qiao Ying now.

Resentment? A little.

Did she want revenge? No.

The Qiao and Chi families lived in the same compound, and the two of them had met since birth, held in their parents’ arms.

Qiao Ying had always been mature from a young age. Chi Yingdong would always remember Qiao Ying’s small face, earnestly stern as she tried to act like an adult, both funny and adorable.

In contrast, Chi Yingdong was the complete opposite. Since her mother was a fashion designer, she had served as her mother’s model since childhood, dressed up every day like an exquisite doll.

The differences in personality and appearance they displayed from a young age led those around them to assume that during adolescence, one would differentiate into an Alpha and the other into an Omega, becoming a natural pair.

At the age of 16, Qiao Ying, as expected, differentiated into an Alpha.

The surprise came with Chi Yingdong, she also differentiated into an Alpha.

Chi Yingdong had intended to reveal that she had differentiated into an Alpha.

However, when Qiao Ying asked her eagerly if she was an Omega, Chi Yingdong hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Too much time had passed, and Chi Yingdong could no longer remember why she had lied back then.

Perhaps it was because things had developed in a direction everyone thought impossible, leaving her utterly flustered and instinctively evasive.

Before her differentiation, influenced by the teasing of those around her, Chi Yingdong had imagined being with Qiao Ying.

After differentiation, she secretly felt dejected for a long time.

But gradually, she came to understand, she relied on Qiao Ying more like an older sister, unrelated to romantic love.

It was just that everyone assumed they should be together, so she thought it should be that way too.

When Qiao Ying met someone she truly liked, Chi Yingdong actually felt relieved and was genuinely happy for her.

But it was also then that Chi Yingdong discovered she sometimes couldn’t control her own body, doing things that harmed the person Qiao Ying loved.

The moment Qiao Ying pushed her into the zombie horde, Chi Yingdong felt a flicker of resentment, thinking it was too heartless for Qiao Ying to treat her this way for someone she had known for just over a month.

Yet, more than that, she felt a sense of liberation, finally, she wouldn’t have to watch her own body do things she didn’t want to do.

After death, Chi Yingdong realized she was merely a supporting character in a book, and everything suddenly made sense.

…

She didn’t want to dwell too much on the events of her past life.

They were all just characters in a novel, living lives dictated by a script, nothing more than puppets on strings.

With that push from Qiao Ying, they were even.

In this life, she didn’t want to have much contact with Qiao Ying or Qiao Ying’s future girlfriend.

She only wanted to live peacefully through the apocalypse with her little cat, waiting for humanity to usher in a new era.

If the time required was too long and her life wasn’t enough to see it through, that was fine too.

Having her little cat by her side for a lifetime was enough.

After all, how many things in this world can truly have the best of both worlds?
