What to Do If the White Moonlight Omega Falls in Love with Me - Chapter 22
Cha Yuxuan fell asleep as she was talking. Yan Qingran no longer had the heart to draw, so she quietly went to the bathroom to take a shower. She then lay down on the escort bed and gradually drifted into a dream.
Suddenly, she felt the concentration of pheromones in the air rise to an abnormal level. The milky-sweet scent of Omega pheromones aggressively stimulated her glands. On the hospital bed, the little Omega was writhing, her body flushed deep red. Fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, and her expression looked extremely pained, as if she were enduring some immense suffering.
Yan Qingran pressed the call bell, but no one answered. The ward door was locked from the outside, and the ventilation fan had stopped working. The air was thick with high-concentration Omega pheromones. She covered her glands and retreated to the furthest corner of the room, but her reddened eyes showed that she was also struggling.
Faint moans reached her ears, and she heard the little girl gasping as she called out to her, “Senior… it hurts… please, mark me.”
Yan Qingran closed her eyes and covered her ears, but the girl’s soft, pleading voice seemed to permeate everything, echoing in her mind like a curse, urging her to act. Her eyes gradually turned red as the possessiveness innate to an Alpha erupted.
She snapped her eyes open and found that she had already pulled the little one into her arms. The Omega pheromones overwhelmed her senses, and the girl’s pink, fragile gland lay exposed and defenseless before her eyes.
Like a helpless cub waiting to be handled or plucked, Yan Qingran couldn’t stop her fingertips from pressing against that soft spot, gently massaging it. The burning heat of her touch and the whimpers escaping the Omega’s lips triggered her most primal reaction—
She wanted to mark her.
Her canines slowly drew closer to the Omega’s flushed, inviting gland. The moment she was about to bite down, Yan Qingran suddenly bolted awake. She propped herself up against the headboard, her chest heaving violently, her back drenched in sweat.
She turned her head to look at the hospital bed; Cha Yuxuan was sleeping soundly and peacefully. The air contained no high-concentration pheromones. The absurd heat still lingered in her body, and she gripped the bedsheets with trembling fingers, her ears burning. Damn it, that kind of dream.
The sky outside was barely beginning to lighten. Yan Qingran rolled out of bed, went to the restroom, and then left the ward.
Cha Yuxuan woke up naturally. She stretched and looked over at Yan Qingran’s bed. Finding it empty, she felt a sudden pang of disappointment. The Senior left so early without even saying a word.
She sluggishly got out of bed, her slippers thumping against the floor as she headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Sigh, the sharp angles of my face are gone. I look so easy to bully. Cha Yuxuan sighed and pinched her own cheek—the texture was amazing. What a waste; it’s going to benefit some hard-bodied Alpha eventually.
She lifted the hem of her shirt; her vest line was still there, but no matter how she flexed, her abs wouldn’t show. Her muscles felt soft, and she lacked her usual strength. A true “delicate, soft, and fair” Omega.
Cha Yuxuan promised herself that if she could have differentiated into an Alpha, she would definitely love an Omega like this—taking her out to show off and pampering her to no end. Fortunately, her contact list was full of high-quality Alphas; she had plenty of time to find her favorite.
While she was dazing at the mirror, a voice suddenly came from outside. “Cha Yuxuan?”
“Coming!”
Cha Yuxuan hurried out and saw Yan Qingran, who had returned from a morning workout carrying bags of breakfast.
Yan Qingran had gone for a run. She hadn’t counted the laps, but her phone recorded thirty thousand steps. Since the cafeteria had just opened, she bought some breakfast.
Cha Yuxuan stepped forward with envy, poking Yan Qingran’s abs and squeezing the firm muscles of her arms, almost tearing off her sports vest to check her pecs.
Yan Qingran felt uncomfortable and took two steps back, reminded of last night’s dream. She quickly set the breakfast on the table. “I’ll go take a shower first. Eat while it’s hot; just leave the rest for me.”
“Go ahead, go ahead,” Cha Yuxuan waved her off.
Breakfast consisted of a bowl of wontons, a plate of soup dumplings (xiao long bao), two boiled eggs, and two cups of soy milk.
Cha Yuxuan took the wontons, blowing on the broth before taking a sip. The skins were thin, and the thumb-sized meat fillings swirled in the bone broth like little tadpoles. Topped with green onions, the aroma was heavenly. She loved wontons; she sucked them in with the broth. The skins were smooth and melted in her mouth, the meat was fresh and chewy, and the broth perfectly blended the two flavors—light yet flavorful.
Yan Qingran soon finished her shower. The tips of her hair were still wet, dampening a large patch on the back of her white shirt.
Cha Yuxuan set down her spoon and brought out a towel. “Dry your hair before you eat.”
“Mm.” Yan Qingran turned to take the towel, but Cha Yuxuan nimbly dodged her hand. She pushed Yan Qingran down onto her own bed and held her shoulders to keep her back turned. “I’ll do it for you.”
“I can do it myself,” Yan Qingran said softly.
“Sit still and don’t talk.”
Cha Yuxuan ignored her “resistance,” wrapping the towel around her black hair and drying it carefully. During the process, her fingers occasionally brushed against the sensitive area at the back of Yan Qingran’s neck. Yan Qingran swallowed hard, her body stiffening.
Suddenly, Cha Yuxuan gasped as she held Yan Qingran’s forearm. “Senior, you don’t have a single white hair!”
Yan Qingran quietly moved her hand away. “I’m not at the age to have white hair yet.”
“But your hair volume is so enviable,” Cha Yuxuan added, twirling a strand of hair.
Yan Qingran turned to look at Cha Yuxuan’s hair, leaning in to inspect it. “You don’t have any white hair either, and you have plenty of it.”
Cha Yuxuan said solemnly, “But among young people today, there are so few like us. That’s why I’m surprised.”
“Oh—” Yan Qingran seemed to realize something. “So, you want to find an Alpha with thick hair and no greys as a partner?”
Cha Yuxuan said wistfully, “Of course. If they could be like you tall, good-looking, with abs, a good personality, nice pheromones, and considerate that would be my ideal type.”
Yan Qingran was baffled. Since you’ve said all that, why don’t you just ask me if I’m willing? However, with her current engagement, she couldn’t ask directly or make promises. She could only stare in silence.
Cha Yuxuan thought the Senior doubted her chances. “I know it’s hard to find, but you fit the description perfectly! So, I’m sure I can find someone like that.”
Yan Qingran thought: Don’t even dream of finding anyone else. But she said, “Mm. If you can’t find one, you can always look for me.”
Cha Yuxuan waved it off. “I won’t trouble you with that, Senior. I can manage on my own.”
Yan Qingran frowned. Are we even on the same wavelength?
Cha Yuxuan happily pulled her into breakfast. “I’ll give you a soup dumpling if you let me have a taste of your wontons. I love these…”
Yan Qingran finished breakfast under the girl’s playful lead, sighing inwardly. Chasing a girl is hard, especially a naive one. She needs to grow up fast and see my true heart.
Cha Yuxuan spent the whole day in the ward, bored to tears. When the doctor came for rounds, she asked, “Sister, when can I leave?”
“Given your special situation, probably the day after tomorrow. Someone will come tomorrow to teach you how to control your pheromones. Once you’ve mastered that, you can go.”
As an S-rank Omega, any leak of her pheromones could trigger Alphas across the entire training field. She had to stay in this specially designed room. It had high-quality ventilation so even if her pheromones leaked, the smell would dissipate quickly without affecting Yan Qingran.
“Fine.” Cha Yuxuan slumped back onto the bed to play mobile games.
Yan Qingran checked the books she brought, but none were suitable for a freshman. She pulled up the freshman digital textbooks on her iPad and handed it over. “If you’re bored, you can look through these. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask me.”
Cha Yuxuan’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, Senior!”
The room fell quiet again as they both focused on their tasks. Cha Yuxuan ignored her phone and started highlighting the digital text.
Knock, knock—
Cha Yuxuan opened the door. Xue Jiu was standing there with a grin, carrying several bags. Behind him was a well-maintained woman—Xue Lanlan, the mother of Cha Yuxuan and Xue Jiu.
Cha Yuxuan glanced at Xue Jiu and then called out, “Mom,” stepping aside to let them in.
Xue Lanlan looked around the room, her gaze lingering intently on Yan Qingran. “Xiaoxuan, is this your classmate?”
Xue Jiu was also stealing glances at Yan Qingran.
“A friend, a Senior from the junior class,” Cha Yuxuan explained as she sat back on the bed.
Yan Qingran put down her work and nodded politely. “Hello, Auntie. My name is Yan Qingran. You can call me Xiao Yan.” Is this the little one’s mother? She felt a sudden wave of nervousness.
Xue Lanlan smiled warmly. “Hello, Xiao Yan. Have you eaten? I made some chicken soup and some home-cooked dishes. Shall we eat together?”
Cha Yuxuan waved Yan Qingran over. “Senior, join us! My mom’s cooking is amazing.”
Xue Jiu set out the dishes—a balanced spread. The chicken soup was a rich, milky white, smelling delicious.
Yan Qingran sat on the edge of the bed. “Thank you, Auntie.”
“You’re welcome. I should be thanking you for looking after Xiaoxuan these past two days. It must have been hard.”
Xue Lanlan seemed like an open-minded parent. Yan Qingran’s palms sweated. “It wasn’t hard. I haven’t started classes yet, so it was no trouble at all.”
Cha Yuxuan played with her chopsticks. Her relationship with her mother had been good, but since they didn’t live together, they had grown slightly distant.
Seeing Xue Lanlan sizing up Yan Qingran, Xue Jiu cut in, “Come on, let’s eat.”
Xue Lanlan gave him a secret pinch and then served soup to both girls. “Have some soup first.”
Cha Yuxuan’s eyes lit up. “Are there mushrooms in this?”
Xue Jiu grumbled, “Yes. Mom is so biased. She knows you love mushrooms and ignores that I don’t.”
Cha Yuxuan sipped the soup and squinted happily. “Big brothers should yield to their little sisters. Besides, I’m an Omega now; you should yield to me even more, okay?”
Xue Lanlan kept glancing at Yan Qingran. The girl was quiet, steady, and beautiful. If she’s sincere toward my daughter, she might pass, she thought.
Xue Jiu scoffed, “I’ve always yielded to you.”
Cha Yuxuan hummed and put a sweet and sour pork rib in his bowl. “Your favorite.” Then she served some food to her mother. “Mom, stop staring at the Senior and eat. She won’t run away; you’ll have plenty of time to look at her later.”
Xue Lanlan was taken aback, her gaze shifting between the two girls.
