What to Do If the White Moonlight Omega Falls in Love with Me - Chapter 17
After finishing the meal, Yuan Chu returned to school, while Cha Yuxuan and Yan Qingran headed to Yan’s home together.
Yan Qingran’s rented apartment wasn’t large, about fifty square meters, consisting of a one-bedroom and a living room. It was spacious enough for one person, easy to clean, and quite cozy when decorated. Compared to her family’s empty villa, she much preferred staying in this small rental.
Visiting a college friend’s home for the first time, Cha Yuxuan suddenly felt a mix of nervousness and curiosity. She couldn’t stop talking, introducing the “CP” (couple) song they were going to dance to tonight. “The song is called Trouble Maker. It was very popular back in the day and many people have covered it. The moves aren’t too difficult; it’s all about the chemistry.”
Yan Qingran listened intently, nodding occasionally.
At the door, Cha Yuxuan glanced at the keypad lock and obediently fell silent, looking away. Yan Qingran entered a medium-length password and pressed her thumb against the scanner. With a beep, the door opened. She stepped in first to find a pair of spare slippers for Cha Yuxuan before turning to invite her in.
“I bought these in my size, so they might not fit well. You’ll have to make do.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine! As long as I can wear them. Sorry for the trouble.”
Cha Yuxuan quickly took off her shoes and, wearing her cute, colorful ankle socks, cautiously stepped into the slippers. Her feet were indeed tiny; despite being 1.7 meters tall, she wore a size 36, while Yan Qingran’s slippers looked to be around a size 40.
Cha Yuxuan curiously scanned the layout. The living room had great lighting, the furniture was all light-colored, and the items in the open kitchen were neatly organized, looking like they were used frequently. She couldn’t help but wonder if Senior Yan knew how to cook. That would be amazing.
Yan Qingran washed a glass, poured some water for her, and then moved the coffee table to clear a space. “Let’s practice in the living room.”
“Mhm!”
Cha Yuxuan set down her glass and searched for the original dance video on her phone. “Let’s watch it together first.”
“Okay.”
Yan Qingran moved the sofa cushions to the bedroom, then took Cha Yuxuan by the wrist and led her to the sofa. “Sit down and watch.”
The sofa wasn’t small, but when Cha Yuxuan sat down, she happened to be right up against Yan Qingran. Their thighs pressed together, and as a pleasant, light fragrance wafted over, Cha Yuxuan’s palms began to sweat.
The music started.
Yan Qingran moved slightly away to the side, leaning her head in to watch. What started as their bodies touching turned into their heads touching; they could hear each other’s every breath. Cha Yuxuan swallowed hard; she tended to produce more saliva when nervous.
Yan Qingran watched the dance seriously, her brow gradually furrowing. To make this dance look smooth, forty minutes wouldn’t be nearly enough. It was 6:30 PM now, and they had to gather at the sports field by 7:30 PM. It was a ten-minute walk from her place to the school.
Cha Yuxuan stole a glance at her, catching her expression. She smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Senior. I’ve learned this dance before. I can do both the male and female parts. I’ll adapt it for you so there are basically no moves; you just have to stand there like a pole for me to work with.”
Yan Qingran turned to look at her. She wondered if this little body with hardly any meat on her bones could really dance the male part.
Cha Yuxuan pulled her up and tied a knot in the hem of her shirt, revealing a sliver of snow-white waist. “It’s very simple. Come on, let’s try it.”
The catchy intro began to play again. Yan Qingran stood there blankly, glancing at her partner and then at the moves on the screen. She decided she would just stand there.
Cha Yuxuan had already started. She hooked her arm around Yan Qingran’s neck, waiting for the beat. Suppressing a smile, she lightly thumped Yan’s chest, then tapped her shoulder to move away, beginning a sultry dance around her.
The moment her chest was thumped, Yan Qingran felt like she had turned to stone and ascended to heaven. She closed her eyes, not daring to look at the fair skin of the legs and waist in front of her.
Cha Yuxuan finished a lap and came back. “Senior, you have to at least open your eyes and cooperate a little.”
“Mhm.”
Yan Qingran stood perfectly straight, staring ahead with an air of unshakable calm.
“Hold me here.”
Cha Yuxuan pulled Yan’s left hand and placed it on her own waist, then leaned back against her. She then took Yan’s right hand and placed it on her thigh. “Slide your right hand down.”
Yan Qingran’s throat cleared. She couldn’t ignore the warm, soft sensation against her palm. Her body was completely stiff. Even after ten seconds of music, she didn’t dare move her hand down. With a red face, she pulled her hand away and walked off.
Left standing there alone, Cha Yuxuan stared at Yan Qingran’s back. She wanted to laugh but was afraid Yan might be angry, so she teased, “Hey, Senior, are you shy?”
Yan Qingran’s back wavered slightly, but she didn’t answer.
“Oh, come on, it’s art! Besides, we’re both Alphas, what’s there to be shy about? Touching my leg is the same as touching your own.”
Since she assumed she would be an Alpha in the future, Cha Yuxuan said it quite naturally.
How could it be the same?
Yan Qingran comforted herself. She figured she was the one getting the advantage anyway. If Cha didn’t care, she had no reason to be so stiff. She slowly turned around. “Let’s go. Keep dancing.”
After half an hour of fumbling, they finally finished the routine. There was a hip-touching move in the middle that Yan Qingran refused to do no matter what; she would only hover her hand over the area.
Still, overall, it was great. Cha Yuxuan spun around on her tiptoes in satisfaction. Suddenly, she cupped Yan Qingran’s face and planted a loud kiss on her right cheek. “Senior, you’re the best!”
Feeling the dampness on her cheek, the small smile Yan Qingran had been forming vanished. “I’m going to change clothes.”
Perhaps this is just how friendship between Alphas works, she thought to herself.
Cha Yuxuan cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone. “Change into a shirt and trousers! It fits your role better.”
“Mhm.” Yan Qingran walked into the bedroom without looking back.
Night fell, and the streetlights around the sports field flickered on. The freshmen, dressed in their own clothes, stood in their formations under the dim light. The instructors had collectively chosen tonight for self-introductions, and since it was leisure time, military uniforms weren’t required.
The position of Architecture Class 1 was particularly prominent. Yuan Chu had enthusiastically brought a Bluetooth speaker and a megaphone to let the rookies showcase their talents, which included the targeted Cha Yuxuan.
Yan Qingran sat on the bleachers by the field, looking out at Cha Yuxuan’s group by the light overhead. She looked down at her polished black leather shoes and nervously squeezed her knuckles.
Yuan Chu looked at her energetic class and smirked, clearly up to no good. “Since you’re all dressed so stylishly, no one is allowed to back out of the talent show! Even if you’re just screaming into the mic, you better do it with the ‘I’m the coolest person on this field’ energy! Do you hear me?”
Thirty students shouted in unison, “Yes, sir!”
Yuan Chu nodded in satisfaction. “Good. Monitors, lead the way to the streetlights. There’s light and steps there for the performances.”
Cha Yuxuan looked where Yuan Chu was pointing. Yan Qingran was sitting right there. The instructor really was merciless, even pranking her own friend.
Su Meng had heard earlier that there would be a talent show and came with her camera to gather material for the faculty’s social media accounts. Seeing Cha Yuxuan’s class approaching, she ran over. “I’ll help record and take photos. I’ll post them on Weibo, Bilibili, and WeChat later. If anyone wants the original photos, you can add my contact info.”
Cha Yuxuan quickly replied, “Okay, thank you, Senior!”
Su Meng gave her a sweet smile. “You’re welcome.”
Something’s not right, Yuan Chu thought, looking between the two. She waved her hand. “Keep moving, everyone! We’re not there yet.”
Yan Qingran watched the class approach. Realizing they were headed right for her, she stepped back into the shadows beside the streetlight to wait.
As the leader, Cha Yuxuan greeted Yan Qingran first. She gave a playful wink. “Perform well in a bit.”
Su Meng spotted Yan Qingran too and approached her, surprised. “What are you doing here?”
Yan Qingran countered, “Aren’t you here too?”
Su Meng shook her camera with a smile. “I’m here to take photos. And you?”
“Something similar. I’m here to help a friend.” Yan Qingran looked toward Cha Yuxuan.
Su Meng followed her gaze, and her smile vanished. Did Yan Qingran have a grudge against her? When she was pursuing Yan Qingran, Yan was always cold and indifferent. Now that she was interested in the cute junior, Yan Qingran was stepping in again? What gives? Was Su Meng destined to be single? Fuming, Su Meng walked away.
“Ten people per row, sit up there!” Yuan Chu directed the class, then pulled Cha Yuxuan aside. “Are you and Yan Qingran ready?”
Cha Yuxuan gave an ‘OK’ sign. “Don’t worry, Instructor. We’re ready.”
Yuan Chu nodded, feeling giddy. “Alright, call her over.” She couldn’t wait to see the “wooden” Yan Qingran dance.
Cha Yuxuan skipped over to Yan Qingran. Looking up with wide, sparkling eyes, she said, “Senior, we’re the first act. We have to go now.”
“Mhm.” Yan Qingran straightened her collar, rehearsed the moves in her head one last time, and followed her over, just in time to hear Yuan Chu’s annoying introduction.
“The one performing with Cha Yuxuan is a junior from your department and my good friend. She’s the campus’s recognized Alpha goddess, cool and beautiful. Even I’m jealous. But she’s incredibly boring; she has this amazing look from the heavens but just stays at home. What a waste!”
Yuan Chu continued vividly, “So, I am very much looking forward to this dance. No one look away! You better cheer and clap when it’s over. Give them the recognition they deserve.”
Yan Qingran tapped her on the shoulder with a warning smile. “You can step down now.”
“Ahem,” Yuan Chu patted her back and whispered, “I’ll buy you dinner later.”
Yan Qingran mouthed back: “No need. Shut up.”
Cha Yuxuan fiddled with the Bluetooth speaker, adjusting the volume, and marked a center point on the ground. “Senior, Senior,” she whispered, guiding Yan on the positioning with a gentle, “little bird” demeanor that made Su Meng’s teeth ache with jealousy. Two such excellent Alphas “consuming internally” like this, it wasn’t right, Su Meng thought bitterly.
Once they were in position, Yuan Chu announced, “Next up is a cover dance of Trouble Maker by Cha Yuxuan and Yan Qingran.”
As the music started, the attention of the entire field seemed to be drawn in. Some people in the crowd started gasping, “Holy crap, Trouble Maker!” Students from other classes craned their necks to see. Their own classes hadn’t even started introductions, and this class already had a full-blown performance with equipment. The level was completely different.
While the crowd buzzed, the two on stage were locked into the dance. Yan Qingran started with her back to the audience, then turned to face Cha Yuxuan, moving forward in sync with her.
Now that she was actually performing, Yan Qingran’s competitive streak kicked in. Moves she had been hesitant to do during practice were executed perfectly. Especially during the close, sultry parts, every touch was firm, and her eyes followed Cha Yuxuan’s lead. She was completely in character.
While Yan Qingran might not have had the fluid expression of the original male performer, the chemistry between her and Cha Yuxuan was explosive, the kind that made onlookers blush. The audience looked “drunk” on the sight, especially the “shipper” Bai Hang, who was snapping photos like crazy and letting out squeals of delight. Yuan Chu also secretly recorded a video; she had to preserve this rare, alluring side of her friend.
As the final notes played, Cha Yuxuan hooked her arms around Yan’s neck, laughing happily. Every pore of her body, even the sweat on her brow, radiated pure joy. Her warm breath hit Yan’s cheek.
Yan Qingran heard the little Alpha in her arms whisper, “Senior, you’re so amazing. If I were an Omega, I would definitely choose to marry you.”
