The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 54

The texture of the Alpha’s palm gradually magnified before her eyes, and Qin Huai subconsciously blinked.

Losing her sight, she couldn’t discern the facial expression of the Alpha before her, but she could capture it through the faint sandalwood scent in the air. The overly suppressed scent was like a pile of sandalwood spices gathered in the air, tightly wrapped in plastic film, yet bursting open at one moment.

The scent of sandalwood molecules spread throughout the air.

Shen Zhi placed her hand directly over Qin Huai’s eyes, preventing her from seeing her expression. “Qin Huai, I truly like you.”

Every time Qin Huai heard Shen Zhi’s confession, she never doubted the sincerity of the words.

The Alpha continued, “But that’s not a reason for you to hurt me. My liking for you doesn’t mean I can unconditionally indulge you in doing anything.”

Qin Huai’s arm dropped, her index finger’s pad tightly pressed by her thumb.

Shen Zhi: “You shouldn’t trample on my liking.”

The last sentence was slightly fainter in tone than the first half, as if a bright sky had suddenly dimmed, surrounded by dark clouds. Qin Huai’s eyes were covered, but her ears weren’t deaf, nor was her sense of smell lost. She could clearly feel that the Alpha in front of her was like the balloon she held as a child.

It was her who let go.

And then the balloon flew away.

At that moment, she had only one thought: to keep her.

Unable to see anything, Qin Huai instinctively took a small step forward, then lifted her head. She had a typical subtle beauty, and those who liked this look were drawn to her aloof temperament, but those who didn’t might find her detached.

With her eyes covered, Shen Zhi finally understood where Qin Huai’s indifferent demeanor came from. Because Qin Huai’s nose bridge was quite soft, giving a very approachable feeling.

“I didn’t trample on your liking,” Qin Huai’s red lips slightly parted, her voice devoid of any emotion, merely stating plainly, “But this incident also caused you harm. I’m very sorry.”

Shen Zhi’s eyes drooped slightly, her gaze fixed on the Omega’s lips. “If you knew this matter would provoke such a big reaction from me, would you still have done it?”

Shen Zhi’s words stunned Qin Huai, and a chill starting from the soles of her feet gradually spread through her body.

Shen Zhi released the hand covering Qin Huai’s eyes, and she reverted to the Qin Huai Shen Zhi was familiar with.

“Never mind, it’s my problem,” Shen Zhi pursed her lips, and the dimple on her cheek appeared because of the pursing motion. “Senior, I apologize for the trouble I’ve caused you during this time. I deserved it, still harboring ill intentions, unilaterally thinking that silent effort would bring a reward, but it turns out it doesn’t.”

That pair of dimples usually appeared when they were alone, and Qin Huai remembered that whenever Shen Zhi started to act cute or pretend to be pitiful, these dimples would surely show up. But it was different now, because Shen Zhi wasn’t acting pitiful, yet the dimples were there.

She wanted to tell Shen Zhi it wasn’t like that, but her throat seemed to lose its control at that moment. She wanted to shout but couldn’t.

“Senior, goodbye.”

The Alpha lowered her head, her eye corners slightly downturned, and as her lashes looked toward the ground, there was an indescribable sadness. Qin Huai watched her finish speaking, took a step back with her foot, and then started to turn.

Everything seemed to be magnifying, stimulating her senses.

Qin Huai couldn’t help but grab the Alpha’s wrist. At this moment, she finally saw the truth that couldn’t be hidden beneath the white mist: “Don’t.”

The Alpha turned sideways to face Qin Huai, her body shaking slightly when caught, and she asked in disbelief, “Are you asking me to stay?”

Was this asking someone to stay? The word ‘stay’ is inherently intimate, but any word associated with intimacy rarely appeared in Qin Huai’s dictionary.

When she left her grandparents’ house, she sat in the car, crying with tears streaming down. Even though her grandparents were occasionally moody, they were the only relatives she could trust. She didn’t know what she would face going to a strange environment without them.

It was like now she wasn’t sure if she could go back to how she was before, after getting used to Shen Zhi being by her side.

“If you think so, then so be it.” Even when asking someone to stay, Qin Huai wouldn’t grovel. “Don’t leave me.”

“Are you reluctant to lose me as a person? Or my body?” Shen Zhi asked her.

Before knowing Shen Zhi, Qin Huai had never had such an intimate relationship with any other Alpha, not even Lin Qiu. But Shen Zhi was different. Maybe because during her first heat, Shen Zhi had taken care of her in the hotel. From that moment, she had trusted Shen Zhi.

To this question, Qin Huai didn’t answer directly. “Don’t you like my body?”

Qin Huai in bed was actually both similar and different from Qin Huai out of bed. Similar in that Qin Huai in bed was also cool and distant, and that sense of distance only disappeared when her whole body was flushed pink. But it was this very Qin Huai that made her lose her mind and want more and more.

Shen Zhi laughed and used her other hand to push away the hand draped over her forearm. “Qin Huai, don’t you know what I like?”

The Alpha’s push wasn’t very forceful, but Qin Huai felt it was heavy.

The stairwell door opened wide and then closed, the outside light briefly shining inside.

Then the door closed again, and the space returned to silence.

Qin Huai stood in place for a long time without reacting, until footsteps sounded outside. She then uncontrollably crouched down, tightly hugging her shoulders with both arms.

After coming out of the stairwell, Qin Huai originally intended to go straight back to her room, but she was caught red-handed by Zhou Yue waiting by the elevator.

“Why were you in there for so long?” Zhou Yue asked, patting the Omega’s shoulder in front of her.

Qin Huai was startled and instinctively retreated a step. After seeing that it was Zhou Yue, she managed to contain her unusual behavior. “Teacher Zhou, why are you here?”

“It’s all because Shen Zhi said you were in the restroom. Waiting here is the best way to catch you,” Zhou Yue said.

Hearing the familiar name, the image of the Alpha as she left resurfaced in Qin Huai’s mind. She had gripped Shen Zhi’s forearm, wrinkling her suit, but Shen Zhi hadn’t spoken.

“Let’s go meet those friends,” Zhou Yue draped an arm over Qin Huai’s shoulder, her tone quite nostalgic. “These people were all from our lab back then. Thankfully, they also came today, otherwise, I couldn’t think of any way to help you.”

The more gentle Zhou Yue’s tone was, the stronger Qin Huai’s feeling of guilt became. As Shen Zhi said, she began to regret it.

“I actually wanted to introduce you to them a long time ago. They also mentioned it several times. Gu Qing was someone no one dared to provoke in our lab back then, with a fiery temper. They’d definitely be shocked to know you grew up looking like this.”

Qin Huai was pushed forward. Just as she was about to confess and decline, she suddenly heard Gu Qing’s name. She seemed to make up her mind and escaped from her earlier discomfort.

The meeting place was the hotel restaurant. Before Qin Huai even entered, she heard a burst of hearty laughter.

Through the glass door, near the floor to ceiling windows, two dining tables were put together to form a large rectangle, surrounded by people, both men and women. They had no gender distinction, only pure camaraderie.

Someone first looked toward the doorway, then said something to the person next to them, and then everyone looked in that direction.

Qin Huai felt a little awkward being stared at by all those eyes, but Zhou Yue, beside her, casually pushed her from behind. “Let’s go.”

Qin Huai then followed Zhou Yue over.

“Is this really Gu Qing’s daughter? She looks so much like her,” the Omega who first saw Qin Huai said.

Zhou Yue pulled out a chair and sat down, not forgetting to pull up a chair next to her. “Yes, but her personality isn’t quite the same.”

“With Gu Qing’s temper, it’s good that the child isn’t like her, hahaha,” another Alpha said. “But she’d probably be angry if she knew.”

The group chatted casually until the food was served, and the small talk stopped.

“I brought the child today, first, to introduce her to everyone so you can recognize her face. This is Gu Qing’s daughter, so please take care of her in the future.”

After Zhou Yue spoke, there was a chorus of agreement.

“Second, the child recently had a thesis topic about the inhibitor from our lab back then. Everyone can share any problems you encountered while researching the inhibitor.”

“The first batch of inhibitors? That was a long time ago. That batch of inhibitors has mostly been destroyed now. I do have the formula saved, I’ll send it to you later,” a female Omega wearing glasses said.

Although Qin Huai was aloof, she showed basic courtesy to the care of these elders. She stood up from her seat to thank them.

“This child is really too polite. There’s no need to thank us. If your mother were still here, she would have told me to take it out sooner and would have said I was like a hamster for hoarding things, hahaha.”

Even though she had only interacted with them for less than five minutes, Qin Huai really enjoyed talking with this group. Because the Gu Qing they spoke of was so real, completely different from the Omega Qin Zhijing mentioned.

“Was my mother’s temper really that fiery?” Qin Huai picked up the teacup at hand, and her lips curled into a small smile. “Then she must have hated children, right?”

“What are you talking about? Hahaha,” a curly-haired Omega said. “She was the one who could mingle with children the most, she loved children dearly. She even said that if she had a child, she would wear matching outfits and travel the world with them.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Gu Qing was beautiful back then, and she had a lot of suitors, but unfortunately, she was devoted to her experiments, determined to research an inhibitor, which is why she delayed, and your father got lucky.”

“But speaking of which, Gu Qing didn’t seem to go out much after she got married?”

Qin Huai’s fingers tightened, her fingertips turning red. In the descriptions of these people, Gu Qing was undoubtedly an Omega who loved life and enjoyed it. Such an Omega would not easily choose suicide, no matter what difficulties she encountered.

Qin Huai seemed to suddenly understand something, and she released her grip on the cup. “Then, how was my mother’s emotional life after marriage?”
