A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 11

Perhaps the night wind was too biting, or perhaps she wanted to change places and have a proper chat. Yu You suddenly turned and walked toward the iron door.

Zhou Muxian stood silently at the doorway. When Yu You reached the door and raised her hand to push it open, Zhou Muxian gently pulled it open.

Under the dim light, the pair of large eyes beneath her heavy smoky makeup revealed a trace of surprise.

She had not expected Zhou Muxian to come, and even less expected Zhou Muxian to be standing silently at the door, watching everything.

Tap, tap—

The sound of Princess Fenxiang’s high heels came closer and closer. Zhou Muxian reached out and pulled the stunned Yu You inside.

Bang—

Then she ruthlessly closed the iron door and locked it.

There was a narrow staircase between the top floor and the terrace’s iron door. There was no bright light source around them, only small beads of light wrapped around the stair railing, like twinkling stars in the dark night.

Although the two of them stood on the same step, Yu You, who was wearing thin high heels, was half a head taller than Zhou Muxian, so her angle inevitably felt a bit condescending.

Her raised chin looked extremely confident, and she showed no sign of realizing her own mistake.

Zhou Muxian sniffed. A few traces of tears glimmered in her unblinking eyes as she slowly raised her head to look up at the person before her, as if saying—

Sister, you made me sad.

Meeting Zhou Muxian’s gaze, Yu You’s face immediately showed a few traces of unease. Her eyes flickered twice, and she was just about to explain when the knocking behind them suddenly sounded.

Knock, knock, knock—

Along with it came Princess Fenxiang’s smiling voice. “Youyou? Why did you lock the door? Hurry and open it. Let’s continue our detailed discussion about the ratio of life and love.”

Life and love?

They had already talked that deeply?!

Zhou Muxian’s breathing unconsciously quickened, and a few traces of displeasure flashed through her eyes. Very quickly, she forcibly held it in again and kept looking pitifully up at Yu You.

Yu You awkwardly smoothed the curls over her shoulder. The person outside the door spoke again, her voice trembling.

“Youyou, it’s very cold outside. Open the door for me, okay? Don’t be angry with me anymore. That Zhou Muxian and I really have nothing between us. You have to believe me. Were all those moments we spent together abroad fake?

“We were so happy back then. Do you still remember the white doves in the square? As long as you want, I’ll book plane tickets tonight and accompany you to see the doves.”

Zhou Muxian truly could not listen anymore, and she could not keep pretending either.

She withdrew the pitiful look in her eyes, tilted her head, and stared at Yu You, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.

Yu You did not think she had done anything wrong in the past. She also did not think there was anything improper about it. Today, she had not taken the initiative to look for Princess Fenxiang either; Princess Fenxiang had insisted on chatting with her.

But being stared at by Zhou Muxian like this, Yu You inexplicably felt a little guilty.

When people were embarrassed, they became very busy.

Yu You started fixing her hair again. As she did, she walked down the stairs on her own. “I need to tell Zizi that I’m going home first.”

Zhou Muxian said nothing and simply followed her.

Wherever Yu You went, she followed. After taking a few steps, Yu You looked back at Zhou Muxian in some surprise, but still said nothing.

In the end, they stopped in front of the largest private room.

“Sister Zizi.”

“Mm, are you going back? Did you drink? Do you want me to find someone to send you home?”

A cold-looking beauty slowly walked out of the private room. Her gaze swept over Yu You’s face, then landed on Zhou Muxian’s.

The instant the two of them stared at each other, a cute and playful head climbed onto the cold beauty’s shoulder and looked out with a smile. Her gaze also swept over Yu You’s face before landing on Zhou Muxian’s.

Presumably, the cold beauty was Zizi, and the playful, cute one was Chengcheng.

Judging from the natural understanding between the three of them, they were definitely very, very close friends.

It was their first meeting. Shouldn’t she gain some goodwill in front of Yu You’s friends?

Thinking of this, Zhou Muxian hooked Yu You’s fingers hanging by her leg, gently swayed them, and pretended to be socially anxious as she hid behind her.

Zizi and Chengcheng immediately laughed when they saw this and used teasing to ease the atmosphere. “Youyou, when did you get so lucky and gain such a little follower?”

“She looks so young and obedient. Is she a student? She can’t still be in high school, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk, Youyou, this is a little immoral of you.”

The people attending the birthday banquet today were either in formal gowns and long dresses or suits and leather shoes. Then there was Zhou Muxian, wearing a sweater and wide-leg pants, with her long, straight black hair naturally tied into a ponytail. She really did look like a student.

Of course, she was indeed a student now, but not a high school student. She was a university student.

Yu You glanced at the person behind her. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she seemed somewhat displeased, but she did not push her away. She explained irritably, “She’s my…”

The word “sister” got stuck in her throat and would not come out.

Yu You paused, then changed her wording. “She’s my parents’ other daughter.”

As soon as these words came out, quite a few people in the room rushed to the door and squeezed their heads out to look at Zhou Muxian. They discussed her openly in front of Yu You without the slightest restraint.

“So she’s the Yu family’s real heiress.”

“Auntie Yu and Uncle Yu must feel terrible for her. She’s their real daughter, and she was lost for a full twenty years! Now they must be afraid she’ll melt even if they hold her in their palms.”

“Exactly. If the daughters hadn’t been switched, how could the real heiress have suffered outside for twenty years?”

“In my opinion, Yu You should also rein in that eldest-miss temper of hers. How does she not feel guilty at all? If it weren’t for her, how could someone else’s real daughter have lived so miserably?”

Worshiping the high and trampling the low had always been one of the darker parts of human nature.

In their eyes, Yu You had now become a drenched chicken fallen from grace, so naturally they would not flatter and curry favor with her like before. The fact that they were not throwing stones at someone already down counted as kindness.

There was even someone who forced her way out from the doorway, rushed in front of Zhou Muxian, and tried to drape a fur coat covered in woody perfume over her.

“You’re wearing so little. Don’t catch a cold. You can wear Sister’s coat.”

Zhou Muxian avoided the person’s kindness and wrapped both arms around Yu You’s slender waist. Her head softly rested against Yu You’s arm. “I only have Yu You as my good sister. Sister, take me home.”

Yu You’s ashen face instantly relaxed. The smile at the corner of her mouth was held back again and again, but in the end, she could not hold it in, and it bloomed on the spot.

She simply used the opportunity to smile openly. “Then Sister Zizi, Sister Chengcheng, I’ll go home first.”

“Okay, see you.”

Zhou Muxian hugged Yu You like a boneless koala and was led all the way into the elevator.

Yu You’s cold voice sounded beside her ear. “Still not letting go? Do you really think I’m your good sister?”

“That’s true… What good sister would secretly go meet an old flame?”

Zhou Muxian let out a long sigh and faintly released her hand, turning her head to face the right side of the elevator and refusing to look at Yu You.

“What old flame? Your words are so unpleasant. I already said it. Princess Fenxiang and I were only ambiguous. We never dated, never dated!”

Yu You was extremely sensitive toward the words “old flame.” She was like a tigress whose tail had been stepped on, about to jump up and hit someone.

Zhou Muxian turned back to look at Yu You and pouted in accusation. “You didn’t date before, but today you wanted to. You were already talking about life and love.”

“You’re overthinking it,” Yu You refuted sparingly.

Ding—

The elevator reached the first floor and slowly opened. As the two of them walked out of the elevator one after the other, Zhou Muxian deliberately muttered softly as if by accident.

“Sister still remembers the video we filmed last night, right?”

Yu You stopped and turned her head, crossing her arms as she looked at Zhou Muxian. “I came to attend Zizi’s birthday banquet, not Princess Fenxiang’s birthday banquet. Therefore, there is no such mistake as me taking the initiative to look for Princess Fenxiang. Understand?”

“I understand! As long as Sister is willing to explain, I will always believe Sister unconditionally!”

Zhou Muxian revealed a smile. Leaving aside her hard-to-read gaze, the smile itself was pure and obedient, very moving.

Yu You suddenly remembered the scene just now when Zhou Muxian had called her “good sister” in front of everyone. For some reason, her heart felt itchy. But the unpleasant words Zhou Muxian had once said still remained in her mind, impossible to erase.

One sweet, one bitter—both kept surging and crashing through her mind.

Yu You became annoyed again. She snorted coldly and strode outside. “Who explained anything to you? Do I need to explain? Believe it or not, as you like.”

Zhou Muxian had not expected Yu You to react like this. She froze on the spot, and the smile on her face also stiffened. She sensed that the person walking quickly outward had slowed her steps, seeming as if she might turn back…

So Zhou Muxian hurriedly bit her lip lightly and looked at the ground with an aggrieved expression.

Sure enough, the tap of high heels soon sounded beside her ear and stopped next to her.

“Go home.”

Yu You’s voice was cold and stiff.

Zhou Muxian blinked, trying to squeeze out a few tears, but unfortunately, she could not. So she simply crouched down, tightly hugged her knees, and buried her head in them.

The air froze for a long time…

Zhou Muxian maintained that unmoving posture for so long that she almost could not resist giving up.

Then her head suddenly sank slightly as someone gently rubbed it. Zhou Muxian’s heart abruptly trembled, and even the hands hugging her knees shook a little.

Yu You actually patted her head!

“Go home.”

Yu You’s voice was still just as cold and stiff.

But Zhou Muxian was very happy hearing it. She immediately raised her head and stood up with stars in her eyes. “Okay. Let’s go home.”

No matter how wronged or angry she felt, she was still like a puppy that held no grudges, always greeting people with a smile.

The vigilance in Yu You’s eyes could not help fading a little. But when she turned around, there were a few more traces of melancholy and loneliness, making one’s heart ache just looking at her and making one want to give her a comforting hug.

Now that she was truly gloomy and hurt, Zhou Muxian instead did not dare act recklessly and step forward. She only silently followed behind, secretly thinking to herself—

She had to work hard to make Sister happy.
