A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 12

As winter break approached, the end-of-term class schedule became especially packed, and the usually free time was all used for carving practice.

Zhou Muxian, however, was perfectly at ease. For a corporate workhorse who had already entered society, these little final exams were nothing more than a piece of cake.

To the east of the school was a large field of flowers, and two deer were even kept in the shaded green area. Zhou Muxian sat beside the fountain, holding a carving knife as she diligently carved the clay figure in her hands.

“Yo, Miss Yu wants help finding me? What’s the use of stabbing a little effigy here?”

A young man’s voice suddenly came from behind her, as if he were about to stick himself to her shoulder in the next second. Zhou Muxian frowned and shifted to the side. When she turned back, she saw a bright smiling face.

The man sat down very familiarly on the bench beside her, trying hard to hold back his laughter. “If you want to deal with that fake heiress at home, I have plenty of ways to make her wish she were dead.”

Zhou Muxian lowered her head and looked at the clay figure in her hands, suddenly understanding what he meant.

The clay figure replicated Yu You’s long curly hair, slender collarbones, thin waist, and long legs one-to-one. It was just that the unfinished face looked somewhat twisted and terrifying, indeed giving off a bit of the feeling of “stabbing a little effigy.”

Judging from his familiar attitude, he had probably dealt with the Zhou Muxian in the original book before.

“What’s your name?”

“Miss Yu really is a noble person who forgets things easily. I’m Hu Shuo.”

Hu Shuo?

Zhou Muxian carefully recalled the plot introduction the system had given her at the time, but she still could not remember such a character. Perhaps he was also some unimportant cannon fodder.

Seeing Zhou Muxian fall into deep thought, Hu Shuo thought she was hesitating over whether to use him. He immediately waved his hands and feet around excitedly. “Last time, Miss Yu said you wanted her to get out of the Yu family. I’ve already thought of ten methods!”

“Get lost.”

The carving knife in Zhou Muxian’s hand turned lightly, pointing toward Hu Shuo’s neck.

Hu Shuo’s gaze startled. Seeing her solemn expression and the ruthlessness in her eyes, as if she could do anything, his face changed in fright. He quickly tried to soothe her. “M-Miss Yu, let’s talk nicely. Put the knife down first…”

Zhou Muxian had no intention of saying more. She simply kept pushing the carving knife in her hand forward. Hu Shuo shot up with a whoosh and retreated in a sorry state. Unexpectedly, he tripped over the bench and almost fell flat on his face.

Only after Hu Shuo had gone far away did Zhou Muxian take a deep breath of the comfortable natural air and continue lowering her head to carve the clay figure in her hands.

“Muxian, do you still remember me? Last night at Sister Zizi’s birthday party…”

A clear and pretty female voice sounded cautiously from the side. Zhou Muxian raised her head and looked over. There had been beautiful women everywhere last night, and she had only been focused on finding Yu You, so she truly had no impression of the person before her.

“Haha, it’s fine. You left in a hurry yesterday, so I’ll introduce myself again. My name is Zheng Xixi. I’m the same age as you, and I’m also a junior at Qingshan University, majoring in economics.”

Zheng Xixi had a gentle appearance, and her manner of speaking was also warm and soft. Although they were the same age, she carried a somewhat mature charm like an older sister.

Zhou Muxian did not understand her purpose and nodded at her. “Hello.”

“I… can I sit here?” As Zheng Xixi spoke, she looked at the bench. Seeing Zhou Muxian nod, she slowly sat down while holding her long skirt.

“I heard that you just returned home, and that getting along with your family hasn’t been very pleasant. If you’re willing, I can help you.”

Zheng Xixi’s concern reminded Zhou Muxian of the men and women who had openly mocked Yu You last night. Her heart felt extremely uncomfortable.

Everyone who wanted to build a connection with the Yu family treated Yu You as a stepping stone they could trample on. Anyone wanted to come over and step on her.

“Really? I happen to have a favor I want to ask of you.”

Zhou Muxian climbed along the pole, which was exactly what Zheng Xixi had hoped for. Her eyes lit up, and she pretended to be troubled yet pleased as she agreed. “All right. I’ll do my best.”

A person like Zheng Xixi, who knew when to advance and retreat, must have excellent social connections.

The corners of Zhou Muxian’s mouth lifted slightly. She leaned closer and lowered her voice. “Yu You is bright and beautiful. I fell in love with her at first sight. Spread the word for me: whoever can help me win the beauty’s heart, I’ll owe her a huge favor.”

Zheng Xixi, who had been full of expectation, could not help trembling when she heard this. She leaned back slightly in disbelief and could not squeeze out a word for a long time.

These days, the news that the real and fake heiresses were fighting each other to the death had spread everywhere. People inside and outside their circle had eaten their fill of gossip.

How could Zheng Xixi have expected that Zhou Muxian, who was also an Omega, would actually develop different feelings toward her older sister, Yu You? Although they were not biological sisters, Yu You was at least her sister in name.

She slowly shifted her gaze to the trunk of a ginkgo tree nearby, and her imagination subconsciously began to run wild—

Could it be that the truth was not that the real and fake heiresses were fighting to the death for the family assets and their parents’ affection, but that Yu You would rather die than submit, while Zhou Muxian insisted on forcing her?

So when Zhou Muxian had kept calling her “Sister” last night, it had come from the heart and had not been an act of pretending to be a good little sister.

Zhou Muxian took in every emotion that flashed across Zheng Xixi’s face. She laughed lightly, unconcerned, and openly tested her. “Is it difficult?”

“Oh…” Zheng Xixi snapped back to her senses and hurriedly agreed. “No, no problem. Someone as beautiful as Yu You is always desired by others. I’ll help you.”

Zhou Muxian caught the key point and pressed further. “Who else desires her?”

Zheng Xixi gave a dry laugh and touched her nose, wanting to brush it off with a joke. “A lot of people. Men and women both. She’s beautiful, and she’s the eldest young lady of the Yu family. Of course many people want her.”

“Having many love rivals is also a kind of trouble.”

Zhou Muxian raised her head and sighed, then turned to look at Zheng Xixi, staring at her as if entrusting her with an important task. “Xixi, if possible, please help me organize a list.”

Zheng Xixi’s expression stiffened somewhat, but she was too embarrassed to refuse. She reluctantly agreed. Afraid that Zhou Muxian would make some other request, she immediately found an excuse about being busy and hurriedly left.

Three hours later—

Zhou Muxian sent the finished clay figure into the electric kiln, then cleaned up her tools. By the time she was finished, another hour had passed.

Seeing her phone screen constantly flashing, she hurriedly leaned over and glanced at it.

[99 missed calls from Yu You]

[Dozens of unread WeChat messages]

The corners of Zhou Muxian’s mouth quickly rose. They had only been apart for half a day, and Yu You missed her this much?

She opened WeChat and saw that quite a few people had sent her messages. Among them, Yu You had sent her more than a dozen cat-scolding emoji packs, plus one text message.

[Yu You: Are you sick?]

Princess Fenxiang had also rarely sent a message.

[Princess Fenxiang: Stop making trouble, little one. You and Yu You are both Omegas. What’s all this talk about liking or not liking? I know you’re just trying to get my attention. Stop making trouble, okay? Be good. In my heart, you are the most important.]

[Princess Fenxiang: One more thing. I heard you took my company’s security guard for an examination and helped correct his misdiagnosis of terminal cancer. Thank you. You’re too kind. Don’t be this kind next time. (smile.jpg)]

Zheng Xixi, whom she had just added as a friend, had also sent a message.

[Zheng Xixi: List of 100 admirers.docx]

There were also dozens of private-message screenshots.

Zhou Muxian glanced over them roughly. They were all screenshots of Zheng Xixi privately messaging various friends one-on-one to spread the news that Zhou Muxian wanted to win the beauty’s heart.

Very hardworking. Very enthusiastic.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The screen flashed and vibrated. Mother Yu was calling.

“Hello, Mom.”

“Xian’er, Mom heard some rumors and wants to confirm something with you.” Mother Yu sounded very cautious over the phone, as if she felt this matter should not be said, but had no choice but to ask.

Zhou Muxian also became nervous. “Mom, go ahead.”

Could it be that her identity had been exposed? She did not know whether, if the body she had transmigrated over from the real world were tested again against Father Yu and Mother Yu’s DNA, she would pass the parent-child verification.

“Mom heard… that you like Youyou and want to pursue Youyou?”

After hearing the words on the other end of the phone, Zhou Muxian breathed a sigh of relief. So it was this matter. Gossip in noble circles really did spread quickly. It had already reached Mother Yu’s ears in no time.

“There is such gossip, but I don’t know who spread it. Mom, don’t worry. I won’t have improper thoughts about Sister!”

How were two Omegas supposed to date?

They couldn’t rely on suppressants for the rest of their lives, could they?

Although suppressants were useful, they also harmed the body and gradually built up tolerance.

Moreover, whether Alpha or Omega, as they grew older, their heat would become more severe. If they did not find someone to permanently mark them early, their lives might be endangered during heat.

In this world, OO relationships or AA relationships were no different from seeking death.

Perhaps afraid that Mother Yu would not believe her, Zhou Muxian added, “Maybe it’s because Sister and I attended Sister Zizi’s birthday party together last night. We looked especially close and friendly, so people who didn’t know the truth thought there was some kind of story between us.”

“So that’s how it is. Then Mom can rest assured. Zizi is a good child. Mom has watched her grow up since she was little. It’s good for you two to spend more time with her.”

In the original book, Father Yu and Mother Yu always spared no effort in supporting Zizi’s career. Aside from the fact that Zizi could indeed bring in huge returns, it was also because they viewed Zizi as a future daughter-in-law.

In their eyes, whether it was Yu You or Zhou Muxian, either of them being with Zizi would be excellent.

After ending the call with Mother Yu, Zhou Muxian was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when the screen flashed. Yu You was also calling.
