Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha’s Gorgeous Wife Who Keeps Trying to Seduce Me - Chapter 33

When Zhou Ziqing saw Chi Lengzhao, she was visibly surprised. Then she let out a cheerful laugh.

“Captain Chi, what happened to your nose? Did you run into something, or did someone punch you?”

She asked without thinking. Shen Zhixi, who was walking behind Chi Lengzhao, instantly blushed.

Su Ci looked worried. “Captain Chi, are you alright?”

Liang Xiaoshu jumped in quickly. “Did you and your wife get a little too intense last night? Got too excited, rolled off the bed and hit your nose? Hahaha.”

Married people really had wild imaginations.

Chi Lengzhao could only smile and explain, “I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and wasn’t paying attention. I tripped and fell.”

“You tripped? Were your legs too weak to hold you up?” Liang Xiaoshu laughed even louder and gave Shen Zhixi a meaningful look. Then she gave her a thumbs-up, clearly teasing.

Shen Zhixi lowered her head in embarrassment. Her face was burning red.

Behind the camera, the production crew filmed with straight faces, but they were barely holding in their laughter. Clearly, even someone who looked like a submissive omega could still act like a top.

Married couples really had no limits to what they would say. Nothing was off-limits.

Chi Lengzhao stopped talking, knowing full well where this kind of teasing might lead.

Only Su Ci remained kind and sincere. “Good thing it was just a fall and not an injury to your gland. Captain Chi, be careful if you get up during the night.”

The challenge for today was bungee jumping.

As soon as they heard the news, many of the guests looked visibly nervous.

The coach demonstrated using a staff member. After tightly securing the harness around his body, he asked if the man was ready. The man had just said yes when the coach pushed him right off the cliff.

The long, drawn-out scream that followed made all the guests go pale.

When the staff member was pulled back up, he looked ghostly white and immediately threw up.

The guests exchanged nervous glances. Most of them looked too scared to even step forward.

The challenge wasn’t just about jumping. It was a couple’s bungee jump, with each pair wearing cameras and completing specific actions mid-air, such as hugging or even kissing.

The host announced, “We’ll split into two teams. The first team to complete the jump will win today’s challenge. Any pair that doesn’t complete the task will lose points. Which couple wants to go first?”

Zhou Ziqing raised her hand. “Me and my wife!”

Zhou Ziqing was a fitness enthusiast who danced, ran, and worked out regularly. Her wife, Su Ci, preferred staying at home, and only ran on the treadmill when she was forced to.

When she saw her wife volunteer so eagerly, Su Ci turned pale and asked in a trembling voice, “Honey, maybe let someone else go first?”

Zhou Ziqing smiled. “Someone has to be first. Why not us?”

Everyone praised her bravery.

She held Su Ci’s hand and said gently, “Don’t worry. I’ll hold you tight.”

The coach secured all the safety harnesses on both of them and double-checked everything carefully before asking, “Are you ready?”

Standing at the edge of the cliff, Su Ci was visibly shaking. Zhou Ziqing hugged her and asked softly, “Sweetheart, are you okay? If you’re really too scared, we can back out now.”

Su Ci closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and said firmly, “Let’s do it.”

Zhou Ziqing wrapped her arms tightly around her waist, turned to the coach, and nodded. “We’re ready.”

The next moment, the two of them were launched into the air, free-falling from the cliff.

Chi Lengzhao stood at the edge, looking down from above. Her heart nearly stopped as she watched.

She had ridden motorcycles and raced cars, but she had never gone bungee jumping. She had never even been on a roller coaster.

Her palms began to sweat. The height was dizzying. She realized that she was afraid of heights.

“Are you okay?” Shen Zhixi noticed how pale she looked. She reached out and gently took her hand. The moment her fingertips touched her palm, she felt how cold and sweaty it was.

She was a little surprised, but it all made sense. The Chi Lengzhao she once knew had always been afraid of heights.

“I’m fine,” Chi Lengzhao replied softly, pulling her hand back.

Shen Zhixi’s hand had felt soft and clean. Chi Lengzhao didn’t want to stain it with her own cold sweat, and she definitely didn’t want anyone to see her fear.

She was an Alpha, and the head of several publicly traded companies. She was supposed to be calm, confident, and fearless. How could she allow herself to feel afraid or to back down? She simply couldn’t.

Shen Zhixi gave her a thoughtful look and gently said, “Your nose still hasn’t healed. Maybe we should sit this one out. If it starts bleeding again, it could get worse.”

It was a considerate and gentle way to give her an excuse to avoid the jump.

Chi Lengzhao gave her a small smile and tried to sound relaxed. “Why wouldn’t I jump? I’ve never tried it before. This is the perfect chance.”

“Are you really okay with it?” Shen Zhixi asked, clearly worried. She could tell that Chi Lengzhao was nervous and probably just as afraid of heights as before.

Chi Lengzhao nodded. “Life is full of firsts. We can’t stop moving forward just because we’re scared.”

She stood with her face turned to the sunlight, chin slightly raised. A small smile appeared on her lips. Her slim figure stood tall and straight, like someone who feared nothing.

Shen Zhixi watched her silently. In her heart, she thought, This is someone who’s truly brave and strong.

“Alright then,” she said gently. “I’ll jump with you.”

Zhou Ziqing and Su Ci were back. As soon as the ropes were removed, Su Ci’s legs gave out. Zhou Ziqing quickly held her and praised her like she was her precious baby.

“Susu, you were amazing! You held on!”

Su Ci’s face was pale, and she managed to squeeze out a shy smile. But then Zhou Ziqing said, “Let’s do it again next time.”

Su Ci’s smile froze. She slumped straight into her wife’s arms.

Everyone nearby burst out laughing.

Next up were Ma Yue and her girlfriend. Then another couple. These two pairs were used to thrill-seeking activities. For them, bungee jumping while hugging or kissing mid-air was no problem.

Their moves in the air were flashy and dramatic. They hugged, held each other by the waist, and even kissed mid-fall.

Chi Lengzhao watched with wide eyes. She was completely stunned. There was no way she could pull off those kinds of stunts while falling through the air.

By the time it was the fourth group’s turn, Liang Xiaoshu was still hesitating, and Lu Meng was standing beside her trying to cheer her on.

Suddenly, Shi Xin stepped forward. “We’re ready.”

Lu Manni looked like a frightened little bird. Her eyes were filled with fear, and she was clearly shaking. It looked like Shi Xin had dragged her all the way to the jumping platform.

Everyone around them couldn’t help feeling worried.

“Ms. Lu, are you alright? It’s okay if you don’t want to jump.”

“Y-yes… darling, maybe we could…” Lu Manni forced a smile and looked at Shi Xin with pleading eyes, clearly hoping she would be spared.

Shi Xin showed no sympathy at all. “You’ll be fine. What are you afraid of? Look how many people already jumped and came back up just fine.”

Shen Zhixi kept a calm face, but inside, she was shaking her head. Shi Xin clearly only cared about winning and didn’t care one bit about how her girlfriend felt.

The moment they dropped in free fall, Lu Manni’s terrified scream hadn’t even finished before she plummeted down into the air.

What followed was a haunting wail that echoed in everyone’s ears.

Lü Meng let out a sigh. “Poor Ms. Lu. That was rough.”

Liang Xiaoshu added, “Seriously. She looked like she wanted to die.”

When the pair was pulled back up, Lu Manni’s makeup was a mess. Her eyes were full of tears. She looked like she wanted to cry out loud, but with the cameras right in front of her, she held back. And with Shi Xin glaring coldly beside her, she pouted but didn’t let herself cry.

The host quickly stepped up with a smile. “Thank you for your bravery, Ms. Lu! Manni really gave it her all and conquered her fear. Let’s give her a round of applause!”

Everyone clapped generously for Lu Manni.

“I now announce the winning team is the couples group! Each member will receive a special gift sponsored by our partner!”

Cheers erupted from the couples. “Yes! Awesome!”

Shi Xin looked proud as she led Lu Manni down from the platform. As she passed Chi Lengzhao, she lifted her chin with a smug look and said, “You think you can handle it, Zhao? Just so you know, this isn’t some tourist glass bridge. There’s nothing under your feet. No glass. Just air.”

She saw Chi Lengzhao freeze in place, her face stiffening, and her smile grew wider with satisfaction.

She wanted to see for herself whether the famously acrophobic Chi Lengzhao would dare to jump. She imagined her crying, clinging to the edge of the platform, refusing to go.

After Shi Xin walked away, Shen Zhixi leaned in and said quietly, “If you don’t feel up to it, we can withdraw. It’s just a show. Losing isn’t a big deal.”

Chi Lengzhao hadn’t realized that the original version of herself had been even more terrified of heights, unable to walk across a glass bridge.

Hearing Shen Zhixi’s gentle words, she smiled softly and suddenly looked up at her.

“Why would we quit? You’ll hold me tight, right?”

Her eyes were clear and bright, and her smile had a hint of playfulness, like a puppy seeking comfort. It was innocent and sweet.

Shen Zhixi was caught off guard. Her face turned red instantly, and she gave a small nod. “I will.”

On the platform, Lü Meng was holding onto Liang Xiaoshu while staff secured their harnesses and ropes. Liang Xiaoshu couldn’t stop chattering.

“Honey, make sure you hold me tight! Don’t let go! Promise you won’t let go!”

Lü Meng replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll hold you and never let go.”

“If you dare let go, I’ll make you kneel on durians when we get home. One whole day! No, three days and nights!”

Lü Meng laughed. “I promise, I won’t let go!”

Everyone nearby laughed loudly.

Just as Liang Xiaoshu was about to say more, the staff finished checking their gear and gave the signal. “Let’s go!”

With a sharp scream, Liang Xiaoshu yelled, “Honey, hold me tight!”

“I’m holding you! I’m holding you!” Lü Meng shouted back.

“I’m scared! Aaaah!”

“Don’t be scared—ow, honey, don’t pinch me! Aaaah!”

Now it was the final group: Chi Lengzhao and Shen Zhixi.

The staff secured the safety harnesses around their waists and legs. Maybe sensing how tense Chi Lengzhao was, Shen Zhixi took the initiative to hug her, wrapping both arms around her back and holding her close.

The warmth of her arms seemed to calm Chi Lengzhao. Her own hands moved naturally to wrap around Shen Zhixi’s waist.

“Are you ready?” Shen Zhixi whispered into her ear. Her voice was soft and gentle.

“Yes.”

At that moment, Chi Lengzhao looked so obedient and quiet. Shen Zhixi couldn’t help but hug her a little tighter.

“Then let’s jump, okay?”

“Okay.”

Shen Zhixi gave the staff a nod. “We’re ready.” Almost immediately, the ground vanished beneath their feet.

Chi Lengzhao felt her heart stop. She couldn’t breathe. Her mind went completely blank from the overwhelming fear.

The wind roared past her ears. Her body dropped uncontrollably at terrifying speed.

As the ground rushed up at them, her heart felt like it might leap out of her throat. She was just about to scream from fear when suddenly the cord pulled them back up.

That moment felt like being reborn.

All the fear vanished in an instant.

Chi Lengzhao suddenly burst out laughing, yelling with excitement. “Wooooo… ahhh!”

But Shen Zhixi didn’t say anything. She had her eyes shut tight and was clinging desperately to Chi Lengzhao.

It turned out she was even more scared than Chi Lengzhao.

Chi Lengzhao smiled and hugged her tighter, holding her firmly as she whispered by her ear, “Don’t be scared. I’ve got you. We won’t fall.”

She wasn’t sure if Shen Zhixi heard her, but Shen Zhixi only clung to her tighter, as if she was the only thing keeping her alive.

On the next upward bounce, Chi Lengzhao shouted joyfully, “Zhixi, look! We’re jumping! We’re really flying!”

Maybe it was Chi Lengzhao’s energy, or maybe something else, but as they bounced upward again, Shen Zhixi slowly opened her eyes.

For the first time, she took in this strange and thrilling sensation.

“If you scream, you won’t feel scared anymore,” Chi Lengzhao called out. “We’re alive! We came back to life!”

Shen Zhixi froze for a moment, then shouted along with her, “Reborn! I’m reborn!”

Yes, she really had been reborn.

By the time the staff pulled them back up, Shen Zhixi looked even paler than Chi Lengzhao.

As soon as the rope was released, her legs gave out, and she collapsed straight into Chi Lengzhao’s arms.

As expected of an Alpha, Chi Lengzhao had physical strength far superior to others. Even though her heart was still racing and she felt shaken inside, her body remained steady. Not only did she stay upright, she caught Shen Zhixi and held her firmly, guiding her down from the platform toward the resting area.

Su Ci kindly handed them a bottle of water. “Captain Chi, here, drink some water. You’ll feel better.”

“Thank you.” Chi Lengzhao took it, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Shen Zhixi first.

Shen Zhixi hadn’t felt it earlier, but now that the bouncing and adrenaline had stopped, she felt dizzy and weak. She leaned softly against Chi Lengzhao’s shoulder.

“Here, drink a little.”

She took a few sips, then closed her eyes and leaned on Chi Lengzhao to rest. Only after a while did she feel like she had recovered.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she caught a faint scent near her nose—a sweet aroma, like rice wine. It was the scent of an Alpha’s pheromones.

She had caught the same scent while they were bungee jumping, holding tightly to Chi Lengzhao.

Curious, Shen Zhixi subtly moved her nose, trying to pick up the scent again. She leaned toward Chi Lengzhao’s neck.

But strangely, she couldn’t smell anything.

“Are you feeling better?” Chi Lengzhao hadn’t noticed what she was doing and assumed she was just unwell. Her voice softened with concern.

As she spoke, her breath brushed against Shen Zhixi’s cheek. The pale skin, flushed from adrenaline, now turned an even deeper shade of pink.

“Much better,” Shen Zhixi said as she straightened up.

She glanced around. The other guests were relaxed, chatting, eating fruit, touching up their makeup, or wandering around nearby.

Thinking back on the intense moment they had just experienced, it all felt strangely distant now, as if it had happened in another life.

“Would you like more water?” Chi Lengzhao offered again.

“No, I’m good.” Shen Zhixi turned and gave her a gentle smile.

Chi Lengzhao’s complexion had already returned to normal after the high-intensity activity. Her skin was fair and healthy, glowing with a clean brightness.

Her ponytail had come loose during the jump. Her damp hair clung to her neck, slightly messy, but the disarray only added to her charm.

Chi Lengzhao raised the bottle of water to her lips.

Just as she was about to drink, Shen Zhixi suddenly called out, “Wait…”

Chi Lengzhao paused and looked at her, puzzled. “What is it?”

That was the same bottle Shen Zhixi had just drunk from.

Shen Zhixi blushed. “It’s… nothing.”

Chi Lengzhao calmly raised the bottle and drank from it, taking several gulps. When she was done, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

Her lips were a natural, healthy pink, now glistening with water. The sight made them look even fuller and more tempting.

Shen Zhixi glanced at her again and turned even redder.

After such a thrilling day, everyone returned to the guesthouse early.

In the van, the production team recorded interviews about the bungee jump experience.

Lu Manni was still shaken. “I thought I was going to die. My legs were jelly when I stood on that platform.”

Liang Xiaoshu said, “Same here! My body was screaming at me not to move forward. It felt so dangerous.”

Others laughed and said, “We thought it was awesome! Such an exciting experience. We’d totally do it again.”

Su Ci shook her head. “No way. Never again.”

When the camera turned to Shen Zhixi, the host asked, “You were the last pair to jump. How did it feel, Ms. Chi and Ms. Shen?”

Chi Lengzhao replied, “Terrifying and unforgettable.”

Everyone laughed. “You’re not kidding! That’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of fear. What about you, Ms. Shen?”

Shen Zhixi’s expression was calm, with a faint smile on her lips. “It felt like I was reborn.”

After dinner, filming wrapped for the day and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Shen Zhixi turned off the camera and asked, “Do you want to shower first? You’re all sweaty.”

Chi Lengzhao did feel sticky and uncomfortable. The hot weather and bungee jump had left her drenched.

“You go ahead. I’ll sit for a bit and rest.”

“You should go first,” Shen Zhixi insisted gently. “Didn’t you say you still have work to do? Take a shower, relax, and then focus. I’m waiting for Xiao Mo to bring me something anyway.”

“In that case, I’ll go first,” Chi Lengzhao said, no longer insisting. She picked up her clothes and headed to the bathroom.

Not long after, Xiao Mo arrived, carrying a plastic bag.

“Ms. Chi, I found the medicine you asked for. I had to check four different pharmacies.”

Shen Zhixi took it from her. “Thank you, Xiao Mo. That was a big help. There’s nothing else for today. You can head back.”

“No problem,” Xiao Mo smiled and waved. “Good night, Ms. Shen.”

Soon after, Chi Lengzhao came out of the bathroom. Her head was wrapped in a towel, and she tilted her head slightly as she dried her hair. Droplets still fell from the tips of her wet strands, sliding down the curve of her neck and disappearing into her collar.

Her skin looked as if it had absorbed the water. It was white, smooth, and glowing. With her natural features, she didn’t need makeup at all. Even fresh from the shower, her face still looked beautifully defined.

The damp, messy hair paired with her striking features gave her a dangerous allure.

Shen Zhixi had been sitting on the sofa. When she saw her come out, she picked something up from the table and walked over.

“Do you want to put some ointment on your nose?”

She pointed at her nose, then opened her palm to reveal a small tube of ointment. It was unopened, clearly just bought.

Chi Lengzhao froze for a second. So that was why Shen Zhixi had been waiting for Xiao Mo.

During dinner, she hadn’t seen Xiao Mo at all. Shen Zhixi must have sent her out to buy the medicine.

When Chi Lengzhao didn’t respond, Shen Zhixi lowered her head slightly and added, “When we came back this afternoon, your nose looked a little red. This will help it heal faster.”

“I see,” Chi Lengzhao said with a soft laugh. “Thank you.”

“Do you want me to help you apply it?” Shen Zhixi asked as she stepped closer.

“No, it’s alright.” Chi Lengzhao’s face turned pink. “I can do it myself. It’s easy.”

Shen Zhixi nodded and stepped away, gathering her clothes to take a shower. “Make sure you use it. It works well. My dad once had a swollen bump, and my mom used this on him. It was almost gone by the next day.”

After Shen Zhixi went into the bathroom, Chi Lengzhao opened the package, squeezed out a little ointment, and gently dabbed it onto her nose using the mirror.

It felt cool and soothing, just as she expected.

She leaned on one hand and idly turned the small tube in the other, her expression softening. A faint smile touched her lips.

Maybe Shen Zhixi wasn’t as heartless as she remembered.
