A Cannon Fodder A Has No Intention of Moving Up - Chapter 15
Lin Yue had no idea what had just transpired; she simply looked at An Muxue with a dazed expression.
An Muxue seemed a bit angry and didn’t look her way, so Lin Yue could only come down and greet people normally. “Hello. I’m Lin Yue.”
“So you’re the famous Lin Yue~”
Shu Xiaozhi circled her as if she were looking at a rare panda. She had heard from An Qi that an Alpha had finally managed to get close to her sister, An Muxue, and found it so miraculous she just had to come and see for herself. She had been wondering what kind of “mighty Alpha” it took to make An Muxue’s “iron tree” bloom!
She hadn’t expected a clean-cut, tall, delicate-looking girl. Honestly, she looked quite likeable.
Xiaozhi smiled and shook Lin Yue’s hand vigorously. “Hello there! I’m Shu Xiaozhi.”
Lin Yue hadn’t expected such enthusiasm. This “elder sister” was full of energy, her expressions and movements large and vibrant. Her palms were warm, and she was wearing a rather skimpy bikini. It was… a bit much to take in. Lin Yue averted her gaze, her earlobes turning red. She tried to step back, but Xiaozhi held on.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful outside. Come, come, come—help me take a few photos.”
“Huh?” Suddenly, a phone was shoved into her hand, and Lin Yue was pulled out into the yard.
Watching Lin Yue leave with Xiaozhi, An Muxue’s gaze involuntarily followed them. “This hot spring resort is so close, and Xiaozhi has been here before. Why the sudden need for photos?”
An Qi coughed guiltily. “Maybe she didn’t take any before.”
An Muxue frowned, her knife hitting the cutting board with more force. Thump. Thump. Thump.
A while later, everyone prepared for the BBQ. Xiaozhi finally emerged from the hot spring, stretching and practically striking a pose as she stepped out of the water before donning a bathrobe.
The dining table in the villa was large, with more than enough room. Lin Yue’s eyes searched for An Muxue, intending to sit next to her, but she was pulled away again.
“Yue-yue.” Shu Xiaozhi practically hugged her arm, pressing her body against her. Lin Yue froze on the spot, completely at a loss. “Huh?”
Xiaozhi was amused by her reaction and winked. “Let me see how the photos turned out.” Just like that, Lin Yue was pulled down into the seat beside her.
An Muxue’s cheeks puffed out in annoyance. She couldn’t help but keep glancing at the two of them. Their heads were too close together while looking at that single phone. Moreover, Shu Xiaozhi was leaning halfway across the table in her bikini, her damp chest right in front of Lin Yue.
Is this how Xiaozhi usually hits on other Alphas… is this her secret to success?
An Muxue’s expression soured further. Suddenly, she took off the thin cover-up she was wearing over her swimsuit. An Qi, who had been secretly observing the two, almost spat out her water.
“Ahem, Sis, what are you doing?” “? I’m hot, is that a problem?”
Having said that with a bit of a flush, she looked directly at Lin Yue. “Lin Yue!”
Lin Yue immediately looked up. An Muxue had filled a plate with BBQ meat and placed it in the seat next to her. “Eat over here.”
“Mhm.” Lin Yue hurried over to An Muxue’s side and obediently picked up a fork. She felt a bit like she’d been rescued and let out a small sigh of relief. That sister’s personality was just too extroverted; she didn’t know how to handle it.
But when she looked up, something felt off. Why could she see a tiny mole on the right side of An Muxue’s chest?
“Eat more.” An Muxue leaned in close, adding something else to her plate. Lin Yue could only see that small mole rising and falling slightly on a very beautiful curve with An Muxue’s movements and breathing. Beneath the table, their legs even brushed against each other.
Lin Yue’s face heated up instantly. She looked at An Muxue in confusion. Why did she take her jacket off?
“What’s wrong?” An Muxue also blushed slightly. She lowered her voice and met her gaze.
Lin Yue stared at her blankly, unable to answer. But her expression was far too easy to read. Knowing that Lin Yue was “sneaking peeks” at her, An Muxue’s face grew redder, but her mood inexplicably improved.
“The grill is right here, I feel a bit hot…” As Lin Yue looked at her, An Muxue truly did start to feel warm. Her toes curled secretly, and her earlobes turned red. She suddenly took a drink of water. A single drop trickled from her lip down below her collarbone.
Lin Yue hurriedly looked away, trying to focus intently on the meat on her plate. An Muxue was just too beautiful. Her lips were rosy, her collarbones exquisite, her arms well-proportioned and slender… how did the gods create such a perfect person?
Seeing Lin Yue’s ears turn red, the corners of An Muxue’s mouth tilted up. All her previous frustration vanished. Even the BBQ tasted better. She encouraged Lin Yue to eat more, noticing that Lin Yue was still stealing glances at her from time to time.
An Muxue’s face grew redder. While thinking Lin Yue is really something, she secretly brushed her hair back to give her a better view. Finally, Lin Yue seemed to make a decision. she stared at her, clearly wanting to say something.
An Muxue suppressed a smile and asked, “What is it?”
Lin Yue leaned in closer, looking at her with a red face. She had that puppy-like expression she got whenever she wanted a kiss. An Muxue’s face felt hot; her gaze landed on Lin Yue’s lips, and she lowered her voice even further.
“What do you want?” Their noses were almost touching. “I want…” An Muxue took a deep breath subconsciously, the small mole rising and falling. “Just say it. I might not say no.” “I…” Lin Yue’s head dropped lower. Her hands gripped her knees. She whispered right into An Muxue’s ear: “I want to go upstairs and read.”
Finals were starting next week.
An Muxue: “…” ? “Oh.” Her face soured. “Go ahead, then.”
On the other side, the other three had been frantically typing in a group chat for a while. An Qi: [Screaming.jpg] An Qi: [How is it, how is it? Something is definitely up!] Xiaozhi: [So much (heart) (heart)] Nan Qiao: [Stop it, you two. Be careful or Muxue will have your heads.]
Xiaozhi chuckled. “Xiaoxue, isn’t Lin Yue going to join the hot spring?” “I don’t know.” An Muxue thought for a moment and added, “She’ll probably come down in a bit.”
Right—given Lin Yue’s personality of wanting to kiss her every chance she got, she’d surely be down soon. And she’d probably kiss her right in front of Xiaozhi. While it felt a bit embarrassing, An Muxue thought it wasn’t unacceptable.
However, they waited and waited. The three of them finished dinner and their soak. The night’s activities ended. Lin Yue never came down.
When An Muxue finally went back to the room, her expression was quite displeased. What is this? She was so clingy at home, but now that there’s another Omega around, she won’t kiss me?
Lin Yue was reading in the room. Seeing An Muxue return, she smiled and immediately walked forward to greet her. It had been a whole evening without treatment; Lin Yue immediately released her pheromones. An Muxue not only dodged the kiss but also glared at her.
Lin Yue: “?” An Muxue huffed. “I’m going to sleep.”
Lin Yue could only stand there and watch her head into the bathroom. What happened? Lin Yue hadn’t gone down partly because she felt awkward with outsiders there. Also, while eating below, she felt she’d caught a faint trace of floral scent from An Muxue. Since An Muxue couldn’t release pheromones voluntarily, was her scent leaking out? Though she didn’t feel like she was losing control, her instinct told her to pull back. It was rude to release pheromones in front of other Omegas.
Now they were finally alone and could do the treatment. Why did An Muxue seem angry?
An Muxue finished her shower and lay in bed, looking like she intended to sleep. Worried about the treatment progress, Lin Yue had no choice but to thick-headedly move closer, lying beside her and secretly releasing pheromones. After a while, seeing An Muxue’s features relax and that she no longer seemed to resent her presence, Lin Yue assumed she was asleep.
Lin Yue let out a breath and reached out, gently pulling her into an embrace and massaging the back of her neck.
“Mnh…” An Muxue’s eyelashes fluttered, and her lips pursed slightly. She wasn’t actually asleep yet, but she couldn’t bear to lose Lin Yue’s touch. She could only awkwardly pretend to be asleep, her face turning red as she snuggled closer into Lin Yue’s arms.
Halfway through her focused treatment, Lin Yue suddenly froze and opened her eyes. She looked down and accidentally saw the loose collar of An Muxue’s nightgown, revealing a bit of snowy white. Her face turned beet-red instantly.
An Muxue wasn’t wearing a bra today.
An Muxue kept her head down, her face buried in Lin Yue’s chest. She didn’t open her eyes, but her earlobes grew redder. She could feel the fluctuations in Lin Yue’s pheromones, the richness of the sandalwood, and she could hear her heart speeding up.
Lin Yue was looking just now. If she wants to sneak a touch…
Then… then… An Muxue’s heart was in knots. I’ll just pretend I don’t know.
