The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 85
Ever since their last conversation ended, Qin Huai’s life had been a straight line between the school and home. She usually got a headache from noise, so in a way, her wish had come true. During the week, she spent most of her time in the lab, and as soon as the weekend arrived, Shen Zhi would coax and trick her into going home without much effort.
This Friday, she received a call from Shen Zhi as expected. The alpha, who appeared sharp and cold in the eyes of outsiders, particularly loved to send cute animal emojis when acting spoiled toward Qin Huai. Sometimes, fearing that her expression might not be clear enough, she would even send emoticons.
Qin Huai had just returned to the lounge, her fingers unbuttoning the first white button of her lab coat, when her phone in the cabinet vibrated with a “buzz.” Her fingers paused, and a subtle understanding flashed across her eyes before she calmly proceeded to unbutton the second one.
Perhaps knowing that its owner was busy, the phone stopped vibrating after two buzzes, and silence returned to the lounge.
With the lab coat fully unbuttoned, Qin Huai tugged at the collar, took it off, and hung it on the rack. As she walked toward the cabinet, she instinctively touched her neck.
That patch of skin didn’t feel much different to the touch, but if she looked in the mirror, she would notice a fingernail-sized red mark on the side of her neck. The shallow teeth marks were particularly striking, like beautiful petals.
Qin Huai opened the cabinet door, glanced at the mirror on the back, and her eyes were notably languid as she lowered her gaze. She flexed her index finger and traced the outline of the teeth marks with her fingertip. The varying depth and path were very much like the alpha’s sharp teeth the night before.
Satisfied with the ‘inspection,’ Qin Huai took out her phone from the cabinet and checked it.
It was indeed a message from Shen Zhi, only more direct than the last time.
【Shen Xiaozhi: Sister, hungry】
Qin Huai blinked, slightly pursed her lips, then raised her head and stared at a spot on the wall for a long time before sliding her finger and pressing the send button.
【Qin Huai: Wait for me.】
Usually, after sending the message, Qin Huai would pack her things and rush to Shen Zhi’s place, but today, she first opened WeChat on her phone. After tapping on a specific contact, she sent a message.
【Qin Huai: Want to study me?】
The reply came quickly, as if someone was sitting by their phone waiting. Qin Huai bit her lip with her teeth, and her originally light pink lips became moist and red, like fresh blood.
【Qin Huai: As long as you have the ability, my pheromones are the key for you to open the door to your profession.】
With that, she exited WeChat and reopened the campus forum.
It only took ten minutes to walk from the school to Shen Zhi’s apartment. In those ten minutes, Qin Huai closely monitored the forum’s messages, and when the post’s popularity declined, she switched to a secondary account to reply. She only stopped when she was about to open the door.
The key went into the lock, and with a crisp sound, the door opened. The smell of stir fried dishes wafted from the kitchen, accompanied by Shen Zhi’s voice, “Sister, you’re back. Wash your hands and come eat.”
Qin Huai stood at the entrance, watching the busy figure in the kitchen. After a moment, she lowered her eyes, and a wave of soreness came over her eyeballs as her eyelids closed.
Then she silently bent down to remove her shoes, placed the items she was holding on the cabinet by the entrance, and shuffled in her slippers toward the kitchen.
Hearing the footsteps, Shen Zhi was busy stir-frying and didn’t turn around. Qin Huai only saw the side profile of her slightly lowered head. It had to be said that a person with prominent features had a side profile that was a feast for the eyes. Just like Shen Zhi now, her long hair was loosely tied up in a bun, with a few wisps falling to her collarbone. She always dressed casually at home, and today she was wearing a white crew neck T-shirt with a tie-back design at the lower back, paired with athletic shorts that made her legs look slender and straight.
Qin Huai frowned, her heels seeming glued to the floor, as she just stared at Shen Zhi until the alpha briefly turned around, her sharp features instantly softening with a smile. Two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, “Sister, hurry and wash your hands.”
Qin Huai looked at her, and the hand hanging by her pants seam clenched. Finally, she walked toward the kitchen.
During dinner, Shen Zhi suddenly stood up and said earnestly to Qin Huai across the table, “Sister, my mother has invited you to our house this weekend.”
The fish-flavored shredded pork was good today; the flavor wasn’t spicy, but slightly sweet. Qin Huai picked up a piece, put it to her mouth, and slowly chewed it.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled, but Shen Zhi seemed not to notice. She sat back down beside Qin Huai, took the chopsticks from her hand and rested them on the bowl, then cupped Qin Huai’s face with both hands, her voice pitiful, “My mother said if you don’t come home with me, I don’t have to go home either.”
Her mouth was directly pushed into a pout by the press of Shen Zhi’s hands, and her voice was muffled as she said, “Why would I go to your house?”
“It’s mom’s birthday this weekend, and she just wants to invite you over.”
Qin Huai nodded. Regardless of her relationship with Shen Zhi, she should go just out of respect for Gu Qing. Moreover, the other party had helped her so many times, and this was also a good opportunity.
Qin Huai nodded, indicating her agreement. The hands cupping her face immediately dropped, and their owner kissed her cheek, “I knew you were the best, Sister.”
Qin Huai didn’t fall for this, picking up her chopsticks to eat while asking, “Are there many people going this time?”
“They’re all friends from the circle.” Shen Zhi said, then hesitated for a few seconds. When Qin Huai noticed and stopped her movements to look at her, she continued, “It’s just… Qin Zhijing will also be there.”
It was no surprise that Qin Zhijing would attend Zhou Yue’s birthday party. Zhou Yue was unaware of his bad deeds and had been kept in the dark for so long. Furthermore, since both families had economic dealings, Qin Zhijing would certainly attend gatherings like birthday parties to foster good relations.
However, this worked out perfectly. Qin Huai picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl, simply replying, “It’s fine.”
Zhou Yue’s birthday was on the weekend. Qin Huai took Shen Zhi’s advice and picked out a set of tea ware at the mall on Saturday. On Sunday, the two headed for the destination bright and early.
Zhou Yue’s birthday was being held at a hotel this time. Considering the large number of guests, Shen Zhi’s father had booked the entire hotel. When Qin Huai got out of the car, the hotel entrance was already packed with guests in evening gowns and suits.
Qin Huai was dressed very formally today. Her usually straight hair was curled, and she had applied light makeup. The white slip dress showed off her good figure, and her slender frame made her appear particularly frail, giving the impression that she needed to be supported. However, this contradicted her demeanor. Qin Huai’s back was perfectly straight, and her shoulder blades slightly protruded, like butterfly wings, especially vivid.
“So many people.” Shen Zhi glanced at the hotel entrance, her expression somewhat troubled.
Qin Huai reluctantly gave her a look, “Then why don’t you use your status to get a special privilege?”
“I can’t.” Shen Zhi clicked her tongue twice, then turned her gaze to Qin Huai beside her, “But you can.”
Qin Huai was too lazy to distinguish what ‘you can’ specifically referred to in her mouth. She looked back at the entrance, her eyes losing the initial ease. As she took her first step, she said to the alpha beside her, “Take care of yourself.”
The alpha next to her darkened her eyes and replied with the same words, “You too.”
Upon entering the hotel, the hall was already quite crowded. A crystal chandelier hung spotlessly from the ceiling, its bright white light concealing nothing, scattering across every corner of the room.
The hostess of the birthday party was wearing an elegant purple long dress with her hair pinned up. A polite smile graced her face as she exchanged pleasantries with those around her. When she saw Qin Huai, Zhou Yue quickly said something to the person in front of her, then hurried over to Qin Huai, complimenting with a smile, “Huaihuai, you look beautiful today.”
“Of course.” Although the compliment wasn’t directed at Shen Zhi, Shen Zhi was still smiling with crinkled eyes.
Qin Huai hooked up the corner of her lips, “Thank you, Teacher Zhou.”
“You’re welcome.” Zhou Yue said with a smile, then looked at her daughter, “Look at you; how are you worthy of Huaihuai.”
“It doesn’t matter, I want everyone to think I married above my station.” Although this was a joke, Shen Zhi said it with a serious face: “My Xuejie (senior) should be beautiful and carefree, openly accepting others’ compliments.”
“Good that you know.” Zhou Yue said, not giving her daughter any face.
As soon as she finished speaking, more guests arrived at the door. Zhou Yue first asked Shen Zhi to take Qin Huai to get something to eat, while she herself, with a face whose smile was starting to feel rigid, went to greet the newcomers.
“Sister, what do you want to eat? I’ll get it.” Shen Zhi asked.
Qin Huai scanned the area but didn’t see the familiar figure, and her heart couldn’t help but feel a little heavy. However, she didn’t show it, only saying, “I’ll just have something to drink.”
“Alright then.” Shen Zhi nodded, specifically instructing, “I’ll get it.”
Qin Huai only withdrew her gaze after Shen Zhi had walked away. As she walked toward the bench on the side of the venue, her eyes were seemingly nonchalant, not missing any corner.
Suddenly, she accidentally bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction.
The person was a server, and the tray held several wine glasses. The liquid in them created ripples and spilled onto Qin Huai’s clothes. The person quickly apologized, but had no tissues on hand and could only offer that there was a room upstairs where she could change.
The person was a server, seemingly young, in her early twenties. Although Qin Huai was annoyed, she still followed her to the second floor to change.
The server left after escorting her to the door. Qin Huai inserted the key card into the slot, and the room was powered up, instantly lighting up.
The lights in the entrance area were soft, and the bathroom mirror faced the wall, reflecting the flawless wall. Qin Huai didn’t bother to look around and just went into the restroom, planning to wipe the spot with water and then use a hairdryer to dry it.
The hairdryer’s “rumbling” noise was loud. Fortunately, the wet stain on her clothes wasn’t too extensive, and it dried quickly.
Qin Huai put down the hairdryer and walked toward the door. She tried the door handle as usual, but the door wouldn’t open.
This was a very unfavorable sign.
Qin Huai tried twisting it several more times, still without success. She turned around and carefully examined the room for the first time. On the stand below the TV, there was a box of bottled water and an unopened electric kettle. On the round table next to the bed, there was a microwave oven, a box of instant noodles, and packaged rice balls.
Given the current scenario, even a complete idiot like Qin Huai would understand.
Someone had deliberately locked her in here.
