A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 1
“Stop pretending to be pitiful!”
“Hey? Did you really faint…?”
A sweet yet flamboyant voice kept drifting in and out of Zhou Muxian’s left and right ears. She tried to open her eyes, but no matter what, she could not.
Until—
The owner of that voice, as if venting her anger, flung Zhou Muxian’s arm back onto her chest. The heavy impact against her heart made Zhou Muxian’s eyes snap open.
A face appeared before her eyes—coldly beautiful, yet carrying a hint of playful charm. Long, loose curls fell around her, carrying a faint daisy fragrance that completely blocked Zhou Muxian’s view.
Zhou Muxian met her furious eyes. She could see that the anger in the other woman’s heart had already burned openly across her face, her temper completely out of control. And yet, the innocent confusion at the bottom of her eyes betrayed the truth that she was nothing more than a paper tiger.
“You really were pretending!”
The woman’s annoyed expression suddenly changed. She bared her teeth, putting on a somewhat fierce look. As she stood up, she even pinched Zhou Muxian’s arm hard in passing.
Hiss—
While rubbing her arm, Zhou Muxian stared in astonishment at the beautiful woman who angrily turned and headed toward the staircase.
Had she drunk too much last night and somehow owed a romantic debt somewhere?
And where exactly was this place?
Zhou Muxian looked around and discovered that this was an old-fashioned three-story residence. The furnishings were old, but all very clean, like a carefully constructed set for a large-scale murder mystery role-playing game.
Quite detailed.
Thud—
From the end of the staircase on the first floor came the sound of someone falling. Zhou Muxian hurriedly leaned out to look. The gorgeous beauty from just now was leaning against the redwood stair pillar, panting heavily, her face rapidly flushing red.
She tried several times to open her eyes and stay awake, but could only weakly blink them open and shut. The hand clutching her chest seemed to be using up all her strength.
This was clearly… an Omega’s heat period arriving.
Zhou Muxian stood at the stairway entrance on the second floor, looking down at her from above, but she had no intention of taking even one step forward.
In this world, there were plenty of Omegas who went into heat once a month. As long as they were marked by an Alpha, whether temporarily or permanently, they could quickly find relief.
Logically speaking, this should be an era of mutual assistance. There was no reason to simply watch coldly from the side.
However, Zhou Muxian had an emotional obsession with cleanliness.
She had never marked a single Omega before. Even when an Omega classmate she had known for thirteen years cried and begged her, she had merely gone out in silence and bought suppressants back.
Wouldn’t enduring it be enough?
When her own Alpha susceptible period flared up, didn’t she also endure it until it passed?
Although she thought that, the instant Zhou Muxian met those misty, tearful eyes, her feet moved out of her control, step by step down the stairs.
Very soon, she was crouching in front of the beauty.
“There are no suppressants left at home. Quick, quick, quick, help me buy some…”
Before those impatient words could even finish, the beauty suddenly frowned for no reason, then shoved the person in front of her away fiercely. “No! I don’t want your help! You’re no good person either. Get away from me!”
At a time like this, no matter how much strength she used, it was nothing more than a kitten’s light scratch. There was no damage at all. Zhou Muxian remained crouched in place, completely unmoving, her cold eyes staring straight at her.
The beauty was in even more pain now than before. Her eyes had long since shut tightly, and tears flowed all over her face like a broken string of pearls. Her tightly furrowed brows formed a deep crease, yet even with such an expression, she was still unbelievably beautiful.
Like a portrait drenched by heavy rain, making pity surge in one’s heart.
“Wait here. I’ll go buy them for you.”
As Zhou Muxian spoke, she was about to stand up. Unexpectedly, the beauty suddenly yanked open the neckline of her long dress, revealing her collarbones. Her originally porcelain-white skin had turned crimson because of the sudden heat of her heat period.
“Mmm… It hurts so much. Someone, someone help me. Mom, when are you coming back? Mmm, I can’t take it anymore… Save me, mmm… I—I can’t even last another minute…”
The beauty’s fingers dug tightly into the burning gland at the back of her neck as she kept whimpering. It was hard to tell whether she was groaning from discomfort or crying softly.
Zhou Muxian was so shaken by the scene before her that her movements froze. She wanted to stand but had not yet stood, so she simply remained bent over, staring blankly.
The daisy fragrance was faint and delicate, yet it spread throughout the entire residence. Just when one thought they could no longer smell it, that light scent would drift faintly into the nose again, making one’s breathing unconsciously quicken, only wanting to breathe in a few more mouthfuls of that daisy scent.
“Wah—!!!”
The beauty seemed truly unable to endure it anymore and suddenly burst into tears. Her crying was sorrowful, yet carried endless temptation. Zhou Muxian had originally wanted to turn and head toward the door, but she subconsciously withdrew that movement.
She reached out and pulled the beauty, who was slumped against the redwood stair pillar, into her arms. Feeling the person in her embrace trembling uncontrollably from pain, the blood in her entire body also began to burn. Something deep in her heart seemed to tremble uncontrollably, wanting to rush out from every inch of her body.
Zhou Muxian gritted her teeth, trying hard to restrain the emotions she should not have. Then, aiming at the gland at the back of the beauty’s neck, she gently bit down and temporarily marked this pitiful Omega.
Very quickly, the crying beside her ear gradually quieted. The beauty’s head leaned weakly against Zhou Muxian’s shoulder, and her whole body went completely still.
Zhou Muxian turned her head to examine her. Seeing that she had fallen into a deep sleep, she could not help but shake her head with a light laugh.
Where did this young lady come from? So delicate and frail. She had only just entered heat and already could not bear it, crying and making such a fuss, only to fall unconscious right after.
Ding—
In the empty space before her, glowing blue words appeared out of thin air, as if being typed.
Welcome, Host, to the new world—the novel An Orange-Flavored Summer. Next, the story of the novel will be introduced to the Host. It will only be explained once, so please listen carefully.
Zhou Muxian had no time to be shocked by what kind of ghostly world this was, or whether it was some kind of prank. Her attention instinctively focused entirely on listening to the story.
It turned out that she had transmigrated into an ABO novel written by an author called Nan’an.
The original body was the real heiress of the wealthy Yu family, who had been lost outside the family. And the person sleeping soundly on her shoulder right now was Yu You, the fake heiress whom the Yu family had raised for twenty years.
In the novel, the real heiress, Zhou Muxian, had only returned to this family a few months ago. Her arrival should have been a joyous occasion.
Unexpectedly, she and the fake heiress, Yu You, fought endlessly both openly and secretly, throwing the family and company into chaos.
And all of this was only the beginning. The even more miserable events came later. The two elders of the Yu family were killed in a car accident orchestrated by the great villain. In order to fight over the family assets, the real and fake heiresses both threw themselves under the great villain’s command, even willingly allowing themselves to be permanently marked.
And in the end? They were cheated out of both body and money, both lost their lives, and the family fortune fell into someone else’s hands—a cannon-fodder ending.
Zhou Muxian let out a long sigh and faintly held her forehead. So she had not owed some romantic debt somewhere. This was a debt of life and death.
Truly absurd beyond measure.
Zhou Muxian raised her eyes again to look at the glowing blue words, only to discover that they were gradually scattering and vanishing. In an instant, the space before her was empty.
And then?
Zhou Muxian looked at the air in confusion. No mission, no instructions—was that really all?
She waited and waited, but there was still no change before her. At just that moment, the person on her shoulder made a tiny movement, as if talking in her sleep, and seemed about to wake.
In the book, the original real heiress was known by everyone as an Omega. But Zhou Muxian had transmigrated into the book together with both her body and soul, so her own Alpha traits had naturally come along as well.
Although she did not know where the system had sent the original body, in the world before her, as the real heiress, the most important thing was to protect her life.
The first thing she had to do was properly conceal her identity as an Alpha.
Zhou Muxian hurriedly carried the person to the sofa, opened all the windows for ventilation, familiarized herself with the residence, and conveniently found the room that belonged to her.
Two hours later—
Yu You slowly opened her eyes. She casually lifted the blanket covering her and was about to go upstairs, but when she came back to her senses and noticed her wide-open neckline, she was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her chest.
At that moment, a faint pain like a bite came from the back of her neck, making her cheeks first turn pale, then blue.
No matter how slow Yu You usually was to react, at this moment, she immediately realized what had happened—
Her heat period had flared up just now. In the final moments before she lost consciousness, she had cursed Zhou Muxian away. Then she had fainted. She did not know who had temporarily marked her and relieved her pain.
She rubbed her head, but no matter what, she could not remember. She only remembered… it seemed… it seemed that the person’s bite had been especially gentle, like a puppy licking her, and also like a lover’s soft kiss.
Thinking of this, Yu You’s face could not help but heat up. She could not help feeling ashamed of herself for savoring the memory.
Something like this was so dangerous and so humiliating. How could she still be savoring it?!
If Mom and Dad found out, wouldn’t it become an even bigger matter again?
Creak—
The sound of the front door slowly being pushed open suddenly came from downstairs. Along with it came the laughing conversation between Father Yu and Mother Yu behind the door.
Yu You was so frightened that she panicked and fled without thinking. She stumbled toward the third floor, but at the stairway, she suddenly crashed into a drenched person.
The momentum of the collision pushed Yu You backward. The foot that had just stepped onto the final stair was forced back two steps and missed the step.
I’m done for!
Yu You stretched out her hand in panic, praying that she could grab onto some lifesaving straw. But in that instant, she clearly saw that the person who had knocked her back two steps was none other than her sworn enemy, Zhou Muxian.
Seeing Zhou Muxian reach out toward her, Yu You suddenly pulled her hand back. The corners of her mouth immediately lifted—
Hmph. This time, as long as I don’t fall to my death, I’ll definitely make you get out of this house!
