The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 27
Shen Zhi’s head rested on the side armrest of the sofa, her long black hair cascaded down, and her long legs were casually crossed. “Did you get the parties’ consent for the engagement?”
“I don’t care if you agree or not.” Zhou Yue was so angered by her own daughter that her lungs ached. She raised her voice and shouted, “Don’t look at your progress in chasing that little Omega. You’ve already marked them, but you still haven’t won them over.”
“No, I won’t go, I won’t meet, I don’t like it.” Shen Zhi’s heart was already given. No one could compare to the Omega she loved in her heart. “Forget a childhood engagement, even if a fairy descended from heaven, I wouldn’t spare them a glance.”
There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. Shen Zhi thought her mother had listened and was about to emphasize her unwavering devotion to Qin Huai with smug self satisfaction when Zhou Yue preempted her.
Zhou Yue’s voice was much lower than before, but the occasional pauses carried a strange quality. “Shen Zhi, do you know who your childhood fiancée is?”
“I don’t care who she is, just help me clearly refuse.” Shen Zhi helped find an excuse: “Just say that I’ve always been preoccupied with another Omega, and even if she gets my body, she won’t get my heart. That Omega can call me away at any time. On our wedding night, I would rather stand alone on the balcony witnessing the breaking dawn than reluctantly offer myself.”
Hearing her nonsensical words, Zhou Yue covered her mouth, trying her best to restrain herself, which made her voice sound a bit shaky. “Fine, I understand. I hope you won’t regret it.”
What was there to regret? She was happily lost in her love for Qin Huai, even enjoying the feeling of being astray.
Shen Zhi hung up the phone and lay on the sofa, thinking about the matter. An Alpha’s rut lasts for three or four days, and those three or four days might be easier with an Omega accompanying them. Otherwise, they could only numb themselves with suppressants and rest.
The bed in the bedroom was neatly made, the quilt tucked precisely at the four corners of the bed, the entire surface without a single wrinkle.
Shen Zhi flopped onto the bed with a soft sigh, then got up as if she suddenly remembered something. She walked to the wardrobe and pulled open the door. Inside were hung simple, uniform styles of casual clothes. The Alpha reached in and rummaged through, finally finding a gray tracksuit in the deepest corner of the wardrobe.
Liu Nian had just opened the dorm room door. The bathroom light was on, and the sound of the shower was muffled. After entering, she glanced at Qin Huai’s desk. The chair, which was empty last night, now had a hoodie and jeans draped over it. The styles were different from what she wore when she went out yesterday. Liu Nian clicked her tongue, placed her laptop bag on the table, propped up her legs, and refreshed the phone forum.
After the Lin Qiu incident, the tide of opinion on the forum took a major reversal. Opposition to Shen Zhi and Qin Huai was dwindling, with most people criticizing Alpha Lin Qiu’s character.
Perhaps bored with similar video comments, someone posted a new one today.
The video cover was a Photo shopped intimate photo of Shen Zhi and Qin Huai. The angle was tricky enough to pass for real. The video title was: So, this is the real Qin Huai!
Liu Nian, driven by the desire to learn more about her roommate and unafraid of potential consequences, clicked on it.
In the video, the Omega sat stern-faced on the podium, her posture straight. Her right hand held a long microphone to her mouth, her tone cold, but the content was fiery.
“Dear classmate Shen Zhi, from the first moment I saw you, I have deeply fallen for you. The defined lines of your abs exposed when you wear sportswear while running simply make me ecstatic. I am willing to turn into thin sweat and glide down your muscles, kissing every piece of your skin.”
The video ended. Liu Nian was left wanting more. The bathroom door clicked open from the inside.
Qin Huai came out of the bathroom wearing plaid pajamas. She held a towel in her hand, her damp hair wrapped in a quick dry cap. Her entire face was clean and luminous.
Liu Nian guiltily turned off the screen, accidentally noticing Qin Huai’s pale knuckles moving as she gripped the white towel.
Her throat tightened. She immediately stood up and rushed towards the door, opening it with a bang and shouting into the empty hallway, “Which dorm is that? Keep the noise down.”
Then, Liu Nian turned to Qin Huai, giving a forced smile, and said, “I’ve asked them to keep the noise down.”
Qin Huai didn’t bother to expose the lie. She walked to the desk, put the clothes she had changed out of into the laundry basket, and prepared to do the laundry. Her dirty clothes weren’t many, not even half of the laundry basket. So, she proactively asked Liu Nian, “Do you have any clothes to wash?”
How could Liu Nian dare to say yes? Her back was pressed against the door, her hands behind her, shaking her head like she was facing a formidable enemy.
Qin Huai withdrew her gaze, lowering her head to continue tidying up.
She didn’t have the habit of letting laundry pile up. She searched around and found a canvas bag from the closet, stuffing it haphazardly into the laundry basket before she was done. Just as she picked up the laundry basket and her phone to turn around, Liu Nian was staring at her with a blank expression, frozen in place.
Qin Huai: “Move aside.”
Liu Nian flinched, then shook her head wildly.
Qin Huai: “Do you want me to stuff you inside and throw you into the washing machine too?”
“No.” Liu Nian finished speaking and pointed at Qin Huai’s neck, her index finger shaking like a sieve, “Your scent gland.”
Qin Huai reached up and touched her scent gland. The skin, which was normally smooth and flat, now had a faint tooth mark, feeling like an ant bite.
It was bitten out by Shen Zhi last night.
A trace of annoyance flashed across Qin Huai’s face. She put down the laundry basket, took a suppressant patch from the cabinet, and applied it. After confirming it was properly covered, she pointed at the dorm room door. “Can I go out now?”
Liu Nian was stunned by Qin Huai’s calm reaction. She hummed and stepped away from the door.
Qin Huai left, carrying the laundry basket. Liu Nian, the sole Omega left in the dorm, took a long time to react.
There were two washing machines in the laundry room. One was humming, and the other was silently parked. Qin Huai walked to the silent one, cleaned it briefly with disinfectant, and then threw all the dirty clothes inside.
The washing machine started to hum. Qin Huai leaned against the wall, eyes lowered, staring at the rotating vortex inside the machine.
She touched the spot on her neck, recalling Liu Nian’s reaction just now, and a feeling akin to absurdity arose in her heart.
An inexplicable marking was unacceptable to any proper Omega or Alpha. Moreover, it wasn’t just a marking; she also rushed into Shen Zhi’s arms every time she was in heat.
And why did Shen Zhi help her?
Qin Huai thought back to the Alpha demanding responsibility in front of her this morning. It seemed that ever since she first met Shen Zhi, the Alpha had always maintained a calm and collected demeanor.
Qin Huai stood in place, her lips twitching slightly, smiling extremely sarcastically.
As Qin Huai was about to leave the laundry room, holding one side of the laundry basket, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took out her phone as she walked and lit up the screen.
【Shen Zhi: Senior, my mom invited you to be a guest at my house this week.】
Qin Huai remembered what Zhou Yue had said at the hospital before leaving. She hesitated for a few seconds, then recalling Zhou Yue’s agitated state, she ultimately couldn’t suppress her curiosity and replied with an ‘okay’.
The blink of an eye brought them to Saturday. Qin Huai woke up very early and chose a relatively formal collared shirt and black jeans. After washing her face, she prepared to put on makeup.
Liu Nian heard the faint movement, pulled open her bed curtain, and groggily asked, “Where are you going?”
Qin Huai was at the stage of drawing her eyebrows. In the mirror, the slender eyebrows made her facial features even more defined. “I have something to do.”
“Did Shen Zhi ask you out?” Liu Nian, too sleepy to keep her eyes open, still didn’t forget to pry.
“No.” Qin Huai finished one side and prepared to draw the other. “It’s her mom.”
“???” Liu Nian: “Who?”
Qin Huai: “Shen Zhi’s mom.”
Liu Nian nodded, half-understanding. “Have you reached the stage of meeting the parents?”
Qin Huai’s hand slipped inadvertently, ruining her eyebrow. She turned her head and glared at Liu Nian, correcting her with a very firm tone, “It’s not meeting the parents, I’m just going to their house.”
Liu Nian acknowledged with an ‘oh’ and mumbled, “Isn’t that still meeting the parents?” before turning over to sleep.
Her sleep had messed up Qin Huai’s thoughts. Since it was a visit, putting on makeup was a sign of respect for the hosts, but her relationship with Shen Zhi was complicated, and dressing up too glamorously felt a bit strange.
Qin Huai pondered for a moment, put away the brightly colored lipstick, and switched to a slightly lighter shade.
Shen Zhi’s rut had ended. Now, she was full of vigor and vitality, exuding a peacock displaying its tail feather feel from head to toe.
She stood downstairs at Qin Huai’s dorm building, idly chatting with Zhou Yue.
【Zhou Yue: Have you picked her up?】
【Shen Zhi: Not yet.】
【Zhou Yue: Hurry up then. Your childhood fiancée is coming today too.】
Shen Zhi: “???”
The Alpha immediately became agitated. Her thumb frantically tapped the screen, the force so great it could almost crack the screen.
【Shen Zhi: Mom? What are you doing? Why did you invite her over? I haven’t even won my wife over yet, aren’t you afraid of scaring her away? Hurry up and send her back.】
Two or three minutes after sending the message, Shen Zhi still hadn’t received a reply. She became anxious and paced around, trying to think of a solution.
Qin Huai came down, carrying several gift boxes in her hand. Visiting someone’s home, certain courtesies could not be omitted. As she stood on the steps, she saw Shen Zhi pacing back and forth, her eyes anxious, like a dog whose paws had been stepped on, bouncing all around.
She frowned in confusion and asked, “What are you doing?”
Shen Zhi, startled like a bird, stiffened, turned her head, and said, “So fast?” Then, seeing what Qin Huai was holding, she asked, “What are you carrying those for?”
“It’s customary to visit elders.” Qin Huai came down the stairs. It was already half an hour past the agreed time. She was too lazy to argue with Shen Zhi. “Let’s go, quickly.”
Along the way, Shen Zhi was terrified, treading on thin ice. She imagined countless ways to deal with her childhood fiancée, but still couldn’t relax. What was worse, her own mother didn’t send a single message at the crucial moment, making her break out in a cold sweat.
Shen Zhi’s home was in a famous villa area in Jiang City. Outside the house, there was a garden fountain, and inside, the décor was European style, overall simple yet magnificent.
Zhou Yue opened the door. She spotted Qin Huai standing behind her daughter at a glance. Before Shen Zhi could greet her, she rushed forward and hugged her. “Huai Huai, long time no see.”
Qin Huai was overwhelmed by the sudden enthusiasm, like a porcelain doll allowing herself to be embraced.
After the hug, Zhou Yue finally noticed the boxes in her daughter’s hands and said with a smile, “It’s enough that you came. Why did you bring these?”
Qin Huai just smiled and didn’t speak. After the two exchanged greetings at the door, Zhou Yue eagerly pulled her inside. Shen Zhi also wanted to follow, but Zhou Yue stopped her, citing the reason: We Omegas have some things to discuss, it’s inconvenient for you Alpha to be here.
Thus, only Shen Wen, who continued to read the newspaper, and the anxious Shen Zhi were left in the living room.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Wen heard the sigh next to him and casually asked while flipping the newspaper. “You’ve been sighing here for a while.”
Shen Zhi hadn’t calmed down since she learned that her childhood fiancée was coming today. She worried that her unreliable mother would accidentally sell her out.
The Alpha was anxious but couldn’t find a breakthrough. Since her father asked, she asked with a tentative attitude, “Dad, Mom said she arranged an engagement for me?”
Upstairs in the storage room, Zhou Yue had just opened the door, and the choking dust smell rushed out.
Qin Huai covered her nose and mouth with one hand, coughed softly, and followed Zhou Yue inside.
The storage room held two bookshelves and a desk. The bookshelves were full of books on pheromone specialization, and the desk was stacked with storage boxes.
Zhou Yue’s voice gradually turned mellow yellow amidst the old items. “Everything here was needed when we were researching suppressants.”
Zhou Yue pointed her index finger at the bookshelf, tracing its surface. She didn’t mind the thick layer of dust at all, her eyes filled with nostalgia and emotion. “Your mother and I had a very good relationship when she was alive. We even agreed that if we had children later, they would be in-laws.”
“It’s just a shame that she didn’t live to see the person she personally chose.”
