Transmigrated Into a Scummy Alpha Who Stole the Male Lead's Mermaid Fiancée - Chapter 33

The sound of water splashed in the bathroom, and the shadows of two figures reflected on the glass door, mingling with the droplets rolling down to form a beautiful oil painting.

When Yu Ke barged into the room, she never imagined things would unfold like this.

But seeing Lan Xing’s sorrowful expression, she couldn’t restrain herself, completely beyond her control.

By the time she came to her senses, the floor and sofa were in disarray.

At the beginning of this journey, she always believed that keeping her distance was a way to protect, cherish, and respect her. Yet it wasn’t until she truly connected with her that Yu Ke realized how much Lan Xing needed her.

Her precious Lan Xing, after leaving the planet Labu, had no one else to rely on or possess but Yu Ke.

If she couldn’t express her affection through actions, how insecure Lan Xing must feel.

However, in this regard, Yu Ke had no prior experience to draw from. She could only rely on instinct to explore and fulfill the role of a lover.

Lan Xing’s skin was cool, a trait linked to her long-term life underwater. Every inch of her skin was as smooth as white jade and as delicate as congealed cream. The cool, silky texture stirred every nerve in Yu Ke’s body.

Her breathing grew rapid, and the warmth of her exhales brushed against Lan Xing’s fair, tender skin, like fireworks melting wax. Lan Xing’s body softened completely as she murmured softly, “Sister…”

The girl’s voice was like a piece of candied pastry, crisp on the outside, soft and sticky on the inside, so sweet it made one’s heart tremble.

Yu Ke gently kissed her ear and whispered tenderly, “My precious Lan Xing.”

“Help me… Sister.”

“Of course.” Yu Ke lowered her head to kiss the nape of Lan Xing’s neck, where there was no noticeable abnormality. The faint trace of a rose mark was barely visible on the surface of her skin.

A faint scent of pheromones lingered in the air, almost imperceptible.

Although Lan Xing was aroused, her glands remained normal, a rare instance of arousal not catalyzed by pheromones.

Omegas would periodically go into heat, releasing pheromones to induce Alphas into their sensitive periods.

However, Lan Xing’s previous two sensitive periods had been artificially induced, which disrupted her hormonal balance and posed long-term risks to her health.

During this time, Yu Ke had been closely monitoring Lan Xing’s condition. If her heat had arrived, Yu Ke should have been the first to know.

But in reality, Lan Xing had been behaving normally all along.

Recalling this, Yu Ke slowed her movements slightly, kissed her ear, and whispered, “How long has it been since your last heat?”

Lan Xing paused, her gaze dimming as she replied softly, “Since that time in… the desert, until now…”

Yu Ke calculated the time, it had been a month and a half since their encounter in the desert.

Under normal circumstances, Omegas enter their sensitive period every half month, with specific symptoms appearing weekly.

If the sensitive period is delayed without medication suppression, it usually indicates an underlying issue.

This was worse than irregular menstruation, it could potentially affect fertility.

Lan Xing was also aware of this and seemed hesitant.

Many Alphas were unwilling to mark Omegas who weren’t in heat, as the lack of pheromone catalysis significantly diminished the experience.

Just as no one is willing to cherish a Beta, traditional methods tend to bore them.

“It’s alright, sweetheart,” Yu Ke held her in her arms, letting her sit comfortably on her lap, and reassured her, “In the place where I used to live, people didn’t need pheromones to catalyze anything. The traditional, natural way is just fine, it’s very, very good.”

As she spoke, Yu Ke lifted her up entirely, supporting her with both hands, and carried her a few steps around the room.

Pushing open the bathroom door, she turned on the shower. The dense sound of water cascaded down, engulfing everything. Droplets fell on the little mermaid, trickling over her skin, finally easing her tension.

As a creature born of the sea, she had a unique affinity for water. Yu Ke, too, was swept up in her emotions, immersed in the joy of every touch between them.

It might even seem unbelievable that she would do such a series of wild and thrilling things for Lan Xing.

But Lan Xing, she truly was adorable.

She deserved to be cherished, deserved for Yu Ke to give her all.

Until Lan Xing was utterly exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Yu Ke didn’t mark her, as Lan Xing wasn’t in her special cycle.

Yu Ke greatly cherished this feeling. Compared to emotions driven by pheromones, she preferred to love Lan Xing in the simplest, most primal way.

In another room, the evening among the ABO trio was far less peaceful.

Lan Zhen occupied one bed, unfolding her foldable screen phone and browsing the internet with the delight of reading a newspaper. Xiao Nan, meanwhile, kept getting up to bring Lan Zhen tea and water, even cutting fruit for her.

Li Jian’an couldn’t stand it any longer. At first, he coughed repeatedly, trying to catch their attention. But after one, two, three attempts proved futile, he couldn’t help but speak up: “Third Princess, Xiao Nan rarely gets the chance to step off the ship and experience life. Could you let her rest properly?”

Lan Zhen tilted her head and looked at him: “???”

Li Jian’an cleared his throat, less confidently this time, and said, “Xiao Nan is an Omega born into nobility. She only became a maid out of necessity. You should understand her difficulties and not order her around like this.”

“I don’t mind,” Xiao Nan brought over a fruit plate, neatly arranged with sliced mangoes and dragon fruit. It was clear she had put a lot of effort into preparing it. Hearing Li Jian’an speak up for her, she quickly added, “I’m happy to do these things, really! The fact that you haven’t kicked me off the ship is already a blessing!”

“See?” Lan Zhen shot a cold glance at Li Jian’an. “Don’t meddle in other people’s business. If you really can’t stand watching Xiao Nan serve me, then get out now and go sleep in your own room.”

“Are you joking?” Li Jian’an stomped his foot in frustration. “How could I let an Alpha like you share a room with Xiao Nan?! The only reason I’m here isn’t because I’m afraid, it’s purely to keep an eye on you two!”

“Oh, is that so?” Lan Zhen’s tone was haughty. “So, you’re not afraid after all. If I’d known you cared so much about Xiao Nan, I should’ve put you to work instead. Xiao Li, go pour me a glass of milk. I want it at 35 degrees Celsius, exactly 320 milliliters, not a drop more or less. Sanitize the glass first. I want it right now.”

“…” After a moment of stunned silence, Li Jian’an widened his eyes. “Why should I take orders from you?!”

“I’ll go,” Xiao Nan raised her hand eagerly. “I’ll do it right now!”

“No, I want Xiao Li to pour it for me. Since he cares so much about you, let him take over these tasks for you.”

“This is completely unreasonable,” Li Jian’an grumbled as he got up to find a cup. “And it has to be exactly 35 degrees? Do you think you’re the queen or something?”

When he returned with the milk, he found Xiao Nan kneeling at the foot of the bed, massaging Lan Zhen’s feet.

“You’re exploiting the working class, Your Highness Lan Zhen! I’m deeply disappointed in you!” Li Jian’an said indignantly, placing the milk in front of Lan Zhen.

“I don’t want it anymore,” Lan Zhen said. “Pour it down the toilet.”

“Since I’ve already brought you the milk, you have to drink it no matter what,” Li Jian’an plopped down on the sofa. “You have no idea how hard it was to get this cup of milk. The locals here work all day and can’t even afford a glass of milk!”

“I don’t feel like drinking it anymore,” Lan Zhen said lazily. “You can give it to the locals or pour it out, whatever you want.”

After a whole night of such antics, Li Jian’an was completely exhausted, both mentally and physically.

Early the next morning, he still had to check on the fuel progress.

The portly manager told him that the results wouldn’t be available until the afternoon.

So, Li Jian’an decided to go to Yu Ke and vent about all these frustrating matters in person.

After ringing the doorbell for a long time, Yu Ke finally got up and opened the door. Standing at the entrance with her hand on the doorframe, she frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Jian’an made a move to enter, but Yu Ke shifted her hand slightly lower on the doorframe, blocking his way.

Li Jian’an was puzzled. “Can’t I come in?”

Yu Ke replied, “Lan Xing is still sleeping inside.”

“Then I’ll just talk to you in the living room,” he said, taking half a step forward, but Yu Ke firmly stopped him.

Li Jian’an: “???”

Yu Ke curved her lips into a smile, her long black hair cascading on either side. There was amusement in her eyes, but it was completely indecipherable, at least, Li Jian’an couldn’t figure it out.

Just then, Lan Xing’s voice came from behind. “Sister, is something wrong?”

Li Jian’an opened his mouth slightly, utterly astonished.

Yu Ke turned her head and spoke to Lan Xing in a doting tone, “It’s nothing, sweetheart. Go back to sleep for a while.”

One calling her “sister,” the other calling her “sweetheart” how nauseatingly sweet!

Li Jian’an wanted to say something, but Yu Ke urged him, “Summarize the important points in ten sentences or less.”

“…” How ruthless.

On one side, Yu Ke and Lan Xing were all lovey-dovey in the room; on the other, Lan Zhen and Xiao Nan were heating up their ambiguous relationship. Li Jian’an suddenly realized that he was the lone Beta single dog caught in the middle.

He briefly recounted his morning visit to the portly manager and the response he’d received.

“Then just wait until the afternoon. It’s only half a day longer, what’s the problem?” Yu Ke asked.

“…Before we came, you said we’d only be here for half a day at most. We’ve already been here for a full day and night,” Li Jian’an said weakly.

“No rush. Go find something to do and don’t disturb me and Lan Xing for now, okay?”
