This Omega Kisses Too Fiercely [Transmigration] - Chapter 2

Lu You hoisted the boy up and set him down several meters away from the edge. Seeing the boy’s eyes rimmed with red, weeping piteously, Lu You squatted in front of him. “I’m really not worth your love. Don’t do something so foolish for me ever again.”

The boy had never seen Lu You act so tenderly. Still dazed from the terror of his fake suicide attempt, he stared at Lu You blankly.

This face was the direct reason why Omegas fell head over heels, especially those peach-blossom eyes—beautiful and deep. No matter the emotion, they always seemed full of affection, carrying a smile as gentle as water.

Just like now, even without a literal smile, one could feel those eyes beckoning.

It was this face that had lured Luo Xinghe away from his side, and it was this face that had bullied Luo Xinghe so miserably.

The boy’s eyes flickered, the image of Lu You burning into his tear-filled vision. “If you want me to let you go, fine, but… can you give me one last hug?”

He couldn’t swallow this resentment.

How could he accept that Luo Xinghe liked Lu You? How could a person like Lu You be worthy of Luo Xinghe’s affection? He would never let Lu You off the hook.

Lu You, thinking his “heroic rescue” role-play was going perfectly, nodded. “Of course.”

The boy opened his arms toward him.

Unbeknownst to Lu You, the moment the boy embraced him, he felt a sudden, violent thrust into his abdomen. He had no time to react. The surging heat spreading from his stomach paralyzed his thoughts, his face turned deathly pale, and he looked down at his torso in shock.

A small knife was buried in his gut. Blood gushed out, rapidly staining his expensive, “Mary Sue-style” noble school uniform a stinging, brilliant red.

“Lu You!!”

At that moment, he heard a shout from behind, but he didn’t have the strength left to see who it was. The pain in his abdomen caused him to collapse, his voice failing him before he could speak.

Hearing the voice from the doorway, the boy looked up sharply. His hands trembled with nerves, seemingly shocked himself that he had actually stabbed Lu You. His hands hung in the air, awkward and lost, his eyes shifting guiltily as he looked at the newcomer.

“Why are you here?”

“Song Xi, do you have any idea what you’ve done!!!”

Hearing Luo Xinghe scolding him, the boy looked deeply aggrieved. “Of course I know what I’m doing.”

“Who gave you permission to touch Lu You!!”

“Because I love him so much it cuts my heart like a knife. Once he’s dead, I’ll follow him. Did I do something wrong?”

Luo Xinghe looked at Song Xi with chilling eyes.

Song Xi didn’t seem to find his murderous act horrifying at all. “Really, I love him. I was just about to jump off the building, wasn’t I?”

“There’s a safety net below, and you call that jumping?”

Song Xi: “…”

Lu You was so weak from the pain he felt he truly was dying. These two were actually having a chat while he bled out?! What a cold, cruel world!

“Hey, someone’s dying here, I…”

Before he could finish the sentence, he blacked out.

So, was he dead?

【Yes, you are dead. I didn’t expect you to die so quickly, and I certainly didn’t expect you to save Song Xi.】

He heard a voice and snapped his eyes open, only to find himself standing at the edge of the rooftop again.

He stared blankly at the scene: his body lay on the floor, ignored and lonely, while the two beside him continued to argue.

A strange boy was standing in front of Song Xi.

Could this be… Luo Xinghe!

But why was he standing?

Lu You looked down at his own stomach; it was perfectly intact.

【Who is talking to me?!】

【I am your Artificial Intelligence Romance AI, ‘Aiduoduo.’ You died of accidental electrocution at home, which triggered a mission issued by ‘Mr. L’ from a parallel dimension. You need to complete the requester’s mission to be resurrected in reality. I will protect you throughout the process.】

【However, I didn’t expect you to save the cannon fodder, Song Xi. Because of your direct intervention, the plot has been overturned. You died just now, but don’t worry, I have already resurrected you.】

Lu You:  AI Aiduoduo? Mr. L? Trigger the boss’s blackening?? Deal with the vicious villain. He was dead in reality. And now he died again? He was completely lost.

【Because you saved Song Xi, the original cannon fodder survived, and the plot has changed. Song Xi has leveled up into a ‘vicious male supporting character.’ Therefore, you must follow the original plot to trigger the ‘blackening’ of the big boss, Luo Xinghe, resolve the vicious villain, and assist the boss in overcoming all obstacles to inherit the throne. Only then can you return to your original world.】

Lu You: 【But I don’t want to be a scumbag. And now that I’m here, can’t I just save Luo Xinghe? Why do I have to follow the plot to make him turn evil? Luo Xinghe is quite pitiful.】

【You are not here to save Luo Xinghe; you are here to trigger his blackening. Furthermore, you cannot sacrifice your own heat period to do so. you must use other methods to provoke him, ensuring he does not achieve his goal of using you to find success. Mercy to Luo Xinghe is cruelty to yourself. Protect yourself and follow the original host’s persona.】

Lu You looked at the two in the distance. 【But if I trigger his blackening, won’t the ending still be my death? That’s a tragedy.】

【The main plot line cannot be changed. This is a male-lead ‘face-slapping’ novel; the focus is on Luo Xinghe’s counterattack to become King. Under no circumstances can a romantic subplot emerge; if it does, history will repeat itself. The boss, Luo Xinghe, must turn evil because of your cold-blooded ruthlessness to deal with the villains. This is the main path. Don’t you want to go back?】

【I do!】

【Then I hope you return safely this time. Good luck.】

Before he could ask what that meant, he lost consciousness.

“Ugh…”

He slowly opened his eyes, a faint scent of sandalwood wafting past his nose. As his vision cleared, he realized the room was not only terrifyingly large, like a plaza, but the decor was so golden it nearly blinded him.

Wait, where was he?

His eyes scanned upward, seeing golden bedposts carved with dragons on both sides of the bed. The gold had a genuine metallic luster. He glanced at the blanket covering him, also shimmering gold.

He couldn’t help but gulp. Was this the Emperor’s bedchamber?

Gold was plastered everywhere like it cost nothing. The air practically smelled of money—tasteless, perhaps, but the scent of pure joy.

He tried to sit up, but accidentally pulled the wound on his abdomen. “F*ck, it hurts…”

“Be careful, Young Master.”

Suddenly, a low, magnetic voice rang out beside his ear. At the same time, his hand was caught. He turned his head.

The person by the bed had bangs covering half his face, obscuring his features, but his skin was very pale and he looked quite thin. He was wearing the uniform of the noble high school, a style that felt completely at odds with his hair.

Is this Luo Xinghe?

【This is Luo Xinghe. Remember: your goal is to abuse him, provoke him, and make him turn evil.】

Lu You immediately retracted his gaze and struggled to sit up. He felt his lower back being supported. His body shuddered at the touch, and he instinctively grabbed Luo Xinghe’s hand.

Luo Xinghe froze. When his eyes met Lu You’s beautiful, affectionate peach-blossom eyes, his heart couldn’t help but tremble.

However, he quickly suppressed it.

Lu You didn’t notice Luo Xinghe’s odd reaction. Instead, he studied the boy carefully. Oh man, this is the protagonist I felt so sorry for!

【Lu You, do not break character. You are a scumbag.】

Lu You: 【I’m just a little excited.】

【Maintain your scumbag image. Continue to be cruel to Luo Xinghe; he is not worth your sympathy. Immerse yourself in the original host’s role. The original host was cruel, but is he as cruel as Luo Xinghe? Luo Xinghe forced the original host into heat just to achieve his own blackening, imprisoned you, and refused to touch you during your heat—is that not cruel? Therefore, use other ways to turn him evil and resolve the villain Song Xi. Only then can you return to reality. You must go back as soon as possible.】

Lu You: 【So the plot I read is different from what’s happening now?】

【The book only taught you how to be a scumbag. You must be even more of a scumbag than the original Lu You, giving Luo Xinghe no chance to touch you, and eventually drawing a clear line between you. Remember: do not be fooled by him.】

Perhaps the system’s tone was so overly serious that it forced Lu You to become serious as well. The plot really had changed; it was no longer the perspective he had read. Luo Xinghe was no longer just a “pitiful” character, but a ruthless player on par with the original Lu You.

Thus, he let go of Luo Xinghe’s hand, a mocking smile appearing on his lips. “I got hurt, so you’re probably the happiest person here, right? Thinking to yourself, ‘Why didn’t I just die?'”

【Hehey, how’s my acting?】

【Don’t get cocky; it’ll bite you later.】

Luo Xinghe felt the residual warmth on his wrist. That brief moment of heat had caused his heart to flutter. Beneath his bangs, his eyes darkened like ink, a complex mix of emotions intertwining before being buried deep within.

His gaze fell on the mocking smile on Lu You’s lips. He retracted his hand, and for a split second as he looked down, he swallowed the self-mockery in his eyes.

“How could I be happy? When the Young Master is injured, it cuts me to the bone. I want to tear Song Xi, the one who hurt you, into a thousand pieces.”

Lu You: “…” He sighed inwardly. As expected of a big boss, he sounds quite devoted. So is it real or fake? According to the system, Luo Xinghe’s feelings for the original host are far more than a simple crush.

Observing Luo Xinghe’s reaction, Lu You peeked quietly. He couldn’t see the boy’s face clearly at all. For now, he truly did seem fragile and humble (?).

“Young Master, if you went to provoke Song Xi for my sake, it really wasn’t necessary. To get yourself hurt… the price was too high,” Luo Xinghe said softly.

Hearing that title, Lu You felt a sudden surge of secret satisfaction. Ah, the big boss called me ‘Young Master.’ Then, a brainstorm erupted in his head on how to respond.

If the scumbag Lu You were answering…

“I felt like it, so I provoked him. What of it?”

“You clearly know I’ll worry about you, you know I love you, so why do you keep using Song Xi?” Luo Xinghe stood up to tuck the corner of the blanket around Lu You. His movements were incredibly tender, and no one saw the hidden fury, a mixture of love and hate, deep in his eyes.

Hearing these familiar words, Lu You remembered this part from the original rooftop scene. The scumbag’s answer back then was a total classic.

“Worrying about me? What’s that got to do with me? Love me? Did I give you permission?” He looked at Luo Xinghe and spoke indifferently.

Wait, why did saying this feel a bit… satisfying?

Melodrama, pure melodrama.

Luo Xinghe’s hand froze on the blanket. He looked at the spot on the back of Lu You’s hand where the IV was inserted. For an Alpha, his skin was so delicate; a simple needle left a bruise. What would happen, then, if one were to pinch it, press it, or bite it?

He silently accepted Lu You’s usual biting remarks, making a mental note. This was the 2,090th time he felt like “working over” Lu You.

He looked up at Lu You and smiled. “Yes, I’m not worthy. I’m just a glutton for punishment, doing it willingly. That’s why I’m jealous of Song Xi getting near you, touching you… because I will always love you, Young Master.”

Lu You met Luo Xinghe’s gaze and: “…”

He swallowed hard.

Did everyone have to be this intense?
