Chapter 22.2
Song Ranxue had originally intended to tease her a little longer.
Who took the initiative did not actually matter. After all… they would inevitably end up kissing until neither could bear to separate.
Arguing about who initiated the kiss was pointless.
Song Ranxue’s true intention was to watch the female lead’s constantly changing expressions and emotions.
She genuinely found them rather delightful.
However, before she could finish speaking, Leng Xingxuan kissed her directly.
No—rather than kissing her, it would be more accurate to say that Leng Xingxuan bit her with a trace of anger.
She showed absolutely no mercy.
Song Ranxue experienced sweetness and pain simultaneously, which was not particularly pleasant.
After biting Song Ranxue as fiercely as she believed possible, Leng Xingxuan released her without drawing blood.
She lifted her chin and spoke with considerable pride.
“Why wouldn’t I dare?”
“CEO Xuan, that wasn’t a kiss. It was revenge.”
Song Ranxue could still feel the pain in her lips, but she was not particularly unhappy.
Considering the outrageous things she had done last night, Leng Xingxuan had every right to bite her several more times.
The problem was that Leng Xingxuan had launched a surprise attack without warning, leaving Song Ranxue completely unprepared.
“Since you attempted to provoke me, you should have anticipated this outcome.”
Leng Xingxuan felt no guilt whatsoever.
After all, Song Ranxue was not bleeding. Leng Xingxuan had already shown mercy.
More importantly, this had always been her personality.
Since Song Ranxue already knew her identity, she must also know all the rumors circulating outside.
Leng Xingxuan had never been benevolent.
If so, why bother disguising herself?
“Forget it. With that little strength, your bite didn’t even hurt. Next time…”
Song Ranxue genuinely was not angry.
However, she realized that she had said something inappropriate and stopped after uttering “next time.”
She did not believe she could withstand another “next time.”
“Why did you stop? What will you do next time?”
Seeing Song Ranxue’s expression allowed Leng Xingxuan to understand her thoughts.
Song Ranxue probably harbored no romantic feelings or intentions toward her whatsoever.
That was why she avoided the subject so deeply.
“…There won’t be a next time.”
Song Ranxue raised her head, looked into Leng Xingxuan’s eyes, and smiled.
Her answer made Leng Xingxuan even more frustrated.
“How do you know there won’t be?”
—Tsk, Xingxing! Why are you still asking? Just make a move! Then there’ll naturally be a next time!
—I’m sorry, but when I look at these two, I don’t merely want them to experience a passionate romance. I also want them to do it—a lot! Does anyone understand how I feel?!
—Pfft! Even if they did what you wanted, we wouldn’t be allowed to see it. Wouldn’t that still ruin half the experience?
—Aaaaaah! Stop giving each other the cold shoulder and arguing! This old lady’s heart can’t handle it~
…
Leng Xingxuan ignored the bullet comments floating before her.
She stared unwaveringly at Song Ranxue, seemingly determined to understand her thoughts.
“CEO Xuan, when I said you liked me earlier, you naturally knew I was joking.”
“Since neither of us likes the other, these kisses are meaningless. We should stop.”
Song Ranxue felt that she genuinely could not allow herself to become too deeply immersed.
The string of “danger” inside her heart remained constantly taut, preventing her from acting freely.
She had to warn herself that she could not remain this reckless.
They were fundamentally different people.
However, the moment she finished speaking, Leng Xingxuan pecked her lips again.
The Omega seemingly disagreed and felt unwilling to continue bearing such unpleasant emotions.
Whenever she faced Song Ranxue, Leng Xingxuan wanted to do whatever she pleased with her.
Whatever she desired, she wanted to perform without restraint.
Therefore, she kissed her now, directly disproving Song Ranxue’s claim that there would be no next time.
Song Ranxue: “…”
Why do you fight so dishonorably?!
—Oh-ho! I love it! Hahahahaha~
—Xuexue looks stunned…
—Xuexue: Why does this Omega never behave according to common sense?!
—Uh, I think the plot has collapsed so badly that even a dog wouldn’t recognize it. If this continues, how will we know whether everything afterward will change too…? I need to check ahead…
…
Seeing the final bullet comment made the corner of Leng Xingxuan’s eye twitch slightly.
However, everything had already happened.
Regret would accomplish nothing.
Therefore, she continued watching Song Ranxue, curious about her reaction.
The smile on Song Ranxue’s face and the amusement inside her eyes disappeared almost entirely.
It was as though mountain mist had spread across her once more, concealing her true appearance and making her genuine expression impossible to discern.
Seeing Song Ranxue like this made Leng Xingxuan inexplicably vigilant.
The relaxation and contentment on her face transformed back into her usual cold severity, as though doing so could alter something.
Song Ranxue observed every change in her expression.
In truth, she felt somewhat saddened.
She had known that the female lead never trusted her, yet Leng Xingxuan insisted on provoking her anyway.
If she intended to provoke Song Ranxue, then she should mercilessly exploit her to the end.
Why display such absolute determination to conquer her—enough to make Song Ranxue willingly become a servant beneath her skirt—without offering even the slightest genuine emotion in return?
Did Leng Xingxuan truly regard her as nothing more than a tool?
Even an insignificant background character was still a living person with flesh, blood, and feelings.
“Are you afraid of me?”
Song Ranxue slowly smiled, although no emotion existed inside it.
That made Leng Xingxuan’s sense of danger intensify.
“You were the one who provoked me first. How did you become the person afraid of me in the end? That hardly seems reasonable, CEO Xuan.”
Leng Xingxuan remained silent and merely watched her.
She wanted to see what Song Ranxue intended to do.
At worst, it would be the same sort of thing Alphas enjoyed doing to Omegas.
Song Ranxue had also taken a powerful seventy-two-hour contraceptive pill.
If she wanted to retaliate now… there would be no risk.
After all, she had no intention of taking responsibility for Leng Xingxuan.
It would be perfectly normal for her to do something, wouldn’t it?
“Tell me. Where’s the ointment?”
“?”
—?
—?
—???
—The people above, maintain the formation!!!
…
Song Ranxue changed the subject far too quickly.
Her face still revealed no emotion, but the sense of danger that had hung over Leng Xingxuan silently dissipated.
It was as though their earlier confrontation had never occurred.
Leng Xingxuan felt not only surprised but utterly astonished.
She could not understand the Alpha before her.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you know, or don’t you have any?”
Song Ranxue pretended not to notice Leng Xingxuan’s confusion.
She continued speaking to herself and prepared to rise and search directly.
“What do you mean?”
Leng Xingxuan finally spoke and voiced her confusion.
“What else could I mean? I suppose I’m worried about you.”
Song Ranxue had already stood and intended to search for the ointment.
Since she had already chosen to remain, she might as well accomplish what she wanted to do.
Otherwise, she would regret it whenever she remembered this moment in the future.
“‘Suppose’…?” Leng Xingxuan found Song Ranxue increasingly impossible to understand.
“What else should I say? If I stated it definitively, I’d appear to have placed myself at a disadvantage.”
“?”
—? What does that mean…
—I don’t understand either…
—???
…
“I already said that you don’t possess any feelings for me, CEO Xuan. Perhaps you merely regard me as a tool, and you certainly wouldn’t worry about me.”
“If I definitively said, ‘I’m worried about you,’ not only would I feel awkward, but… I would practically be covered in goosebumps.”
“So I suppose I’m worried about you.”
“After all, last night… I genuinely was… Ahem—somewhat outrageous.”
Song Ranxue stopped there.
However, her unfinished words inspired even more suggestive thoughts and created an increasingly intimate atmosphere.
The bullet-comment gossip system filled with irritating expressions of “Oh~,” making Leng Xingxuan slightly embarrassed.
—I think Song Ranxue is a tactician with an exceptionally devious heart.
—How so?
—Isn’t the meaning behind her words obvious? She knows Xingxing doesn’t like her and merely treats her as a tool. Xingxing doesn’t care about her personally either. But Song Ranxue is different. Perhaps she doesn’t feel much toward Xingxing, but she’ll still take responsibility. She also noticed that Xingxing can barely move after what Song Ranxue… did to her. Naturally, she needs to clean up her own mess~
—Wow! Looking at it that way, the ultimate villain is actually rather humane?
…
Naturally, Leng Xingxuan understood Song Ranxue’s meaning after reading the bullet comments’ analysis.
However, could they replace the word “did” with something else?
There was no need to use such an accurate term.
Song Ranxue did not dare rummage carelessly through Leng Xingxuan’s belongings.
After searching each place, she glanced toward Leng Xingxuan, hoping the woman would tell her where to look.
Her expression… seemed inexplicably pitiful, like a puppy waiting all day for its owner to return and stroke its head.
Leng Xingxuan lost the will to remain stubborn.
Her heart seemed to soften again.
“In the second drawer of the second cabinet.”
“All right.”
Following Leng Xingxuan’s directions, Song Ranxue found the ointment.
She returned with it and sat before her.
“Where does it hurt the most?”
—That question! So dirty! Hahahaha~
—Where else could it hurt? Stop pretending you don’t know, Song Ranxue!!!
—They started driving again the instant we lowered our guard! Pfft!
—Slap her and shout, “Pervert!” Hahahaha!
…
Leng Xingxuan: “…”
She suspected Song Ranxue might have deliberately phrased it that way.
However, seeing the Alpha’s serious expression made her think it had probably been a casual question.
After all, Song Ranxue was also inexperienced and was an Alpha.
It was natural for her not to understand.
“Forget it. I’ll begin here.”
Song Ranxue dabbed some ointment onto her fingertip and carefully applied it to the wound at the corner of Leng Xingxuan’s mouth.
Her movements were serious and meticulous, yet they still made Leng Xingxuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Just as she prepared to stop her, the Alpha’s presence abruptly approached.
Then Song Ranxue gave the uninjured corner of her mouth a quick kiss.
Leng Xingxuan stared at her in surprise.
Her heart pounded so violently that she nearly lost control.
“You… what exactly are you doing?”
After staring at Song Ranxue for a moment, she asked the Alpha mere inches away in a slightly hoarse voice.
Her entire body seemed faintly intoxicated.
“Didn’t you want there to be a ‘next time’? In that case, I can satisfy you.”
Song Ranxue smiled cunningly in a manner that made Leng Xingxuan grit her teeth.
“For every place where I apply ointment, I’ll kiss you once.”
“What a bargain for you.”
Leng Xingxuan: “…???”
—Hahahahaha! Keep feeding us sweetness! Don’t stop! The ultimate villain is such a menace!!!
—Come on! Let’s see how many kisses one application of ointment can produce!
—Wouldn’t she have to kiss her entire body???
—Ahem! Isn’t that perfect? They can do it agai—beep—and agai—beep!
…
Leng Xingxuan: “…”
What do all of you spend your days thinking about?
However, Leng Xingxuan did not know whether Song Ranxue’s proximity was responsible or whether she had overestimated her physical condition.
She had assumed that drinking the congee containing the induction agent would cause no harm.
Yet she could now feel her gland growing warm.
Her pheromones became so concentrated that they once again seemed ready to disregard everything and wrap the Alpha before her inside a cocoon.
Leng Xingxuan raised her eyes toward Song Ranxue.
Her gaze abruptly became profound.
Only one uncontrollable, frenzied thought seemed to remain inside her heart:
She wanted her.
She wanted to possess her.
Now.
