A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 19
Early in the morning, after Zhou Muxian finished getting ready and was about to leave for Qingshan University, she opened the door and unexpectedly saw Yu You’s car parked in the courtyard.
The car window was wide open. Yu You was leaning back against the seat with her arms crossed, a few traces of impatience flashing across her gorgeous face. She looked as if she was in a hurry to go out.
And yet she had not gone out. She had deliberately stopped in the courtyard.
Could she be waiting for someone?
In the entire Yu residence, who else could she possibly be waiting for?
Thinking of this, Zhou Muxian quickened her steps and rushed to the car window, waving at the person inside. “Good morning, my beautiful Sister.”
Hearing this, Yu You instinctively adjusted the rearview mirror and carefully checked herself in it. While immersed in her own beauty, she quietly urged, “Aren’t you going to class? Hurry up and get in.”
“Oh? Sister is specially sending me to school? I’m so happy.” Only after receiving the order did Zhou Muxian dare open the car door. She got in swiftly and fastened her seat belt, afraid that Yu You would suddenly change her mind.
Yu You carefully adjusted a tiny strand of hair sticking up and corrected her indifferently, “Not specially. It’s a coincidence.”
After saying this, she still felt it was not enough and added two more sentences. “I’m not your driver. Why would I send you to school? You sure have a nice imagination. It’s purely on the way, understand?!”
“I understand, I understand.”
Zhou Muxian tried hard to hold back her laughter and nodded solemnly. Seeing Yu You turn the steering wheel, she quickly fell silent, afraid that if she said something wrong, this powder keg would explode on the road. That would truly be deadly.
Ding, ding, ding—
Yu You’s phone screen kept lighting up. Zhou Muxian subconsciously glanced at it and saw an unfamiliar number sending several messages in a row.
[182****35: Little Youyou, hurry and take my WeChat out of your blacklist. I really have something to tell you.]
[182****35: Some things are not what you think. I can explain. If you’re still willing to listen, give me a chance to call you.]
[182****35: No matter what, I hope you’ll be well. When you figure things out, come find me anytime. I’ll always wait for you.]
With this tone, Zhou Muxian could not think of anyone but Princess Fenxiang.
Taking advantage of the red light, Yu You picked up her phone and quickly blocked the number. There was not the slightest hesitation or ripple in her expression, as if she had seen a casino spam message and casually blocked it.
Now Zhou Muxian understood why, between winning over her and Yu You, Princess Fenxiang preferred the smart but hard-to-control one.
Although Yu You was innocent and easy to coax, what she wanted was love filled with perfect sincerity. Once she discovered that this love was filthy, impure, or mixed with someone else’s feelings, she could throw it away without hesitation.
It was like when drinking plain porridge and finding a soybean inside. A normal person would pick the soybean out and throw it away, but Yu You could not. She had to dump out the entire bowl of porridge.
No matter how the shop owner explained where the soybean came from or how much effort went into cooking the porridge, it was useless.
Even if Yu You starved to death, she would not take a single sip of porridge that had a soybean in it.
Just like her love for Father Yu and Mother Yu could not tolerate the existence of a fourth person, and she had desperately wanted to squeeze Zhou Muxian out.
In the original book, Princess Fenxiang was skilled at schemes and had always hidden her multiple relationships extremely well. Yu You never noticed, so it was understandable that she fell into them, was used, and was hurt.
Now things were different. Zhou Muxian had exposed Princess Fenxiang’s affectionate persona to her face. Yu You would absolutely never again believe that this bowl of porridge was clean.
Continuing to interact with her would only disgust Yu You herself and bring no gain.
Given the choice, Zhou Muxian would of course also like to be like Yu You and cleanly remove Princess Fenxiang from her life, never having any contact with her again.
But Zhou Muxian could not. She was someone who knew the original plot. If she did not maneuver around it, how could she break free from the original storyline?
“We’re here.”
More than half an hour later, the car stopped at Qingshan University’s east gate. Yu You casually raised her arm and rubbed the back of her neck, looking very tired.
Zhou Muxian knew that Yu You was someone who needed immediate feedback. Since she had driven her to school today, she had to receive the praise she deserved.
However, she kept twisting her neck. Did she not want verbal praise, but a massage instead?
That would not be very good. What if, while massaging her, that faint daisy fragrance appeared? First thing in the morning, that would be too much of a test of willpower.
Zhou Muxian laughed awkwardly, threw out a “thank you,” quickly opened the car door, and slipped away.
Yu You had not expected that after specially sending her to school, the feedback she received would only be those light, airy words of thanks. She let out an angry scoff.
Would it kill her to say a few more words?
In anger, she pressed the horn hard, startling the person walking in front of the car so badly that his foot slipped and he nearly fell flat on his face. Only after that person staggered upright did she see clearly that it was actually Hu Shuo, the one who had hung a banner insulting her.
Hu Shuo’s face turned ashen. He rushed to the car window, wanting to curse, but when he saw the gorgeous face inside the car and recognized an old acquaintance, he immediately swallowed all his curses. He gave a disdainful tch and turned to leave.
Yu You stuck her head out of the car window and shouted toward Hu Shuo as he walked into the crowd, “I didn’t recognize you wrong, did I? You’re Hu Shuo from the same high school as me, right? The one who confessed to me every day on the sports field and said you liked me, only to differentiate into an Omega afterward, right?”
Hearing this, Hu Shuo’s back stiffened. Feeling the gazes from around him, his face turned blue, then red. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
But Yu You had no intention of letting it go. She smiled and shouted, “Can Omegas like Omegas too? What kind of new hell joke is this? But it really is quite funny. Thank you for giving me three years of jokes in high school. I can laugh about them for the rest of my life.”
He had believed himself to be a definite Alpha, only to differentiate into an Omega. That had always been the source of Hu Shuo’s inferiority, something that made him unable to lift his head. Now Yu You had pointed it out in public…
Mixed with the unbearable memories of being repeatedly rejected by Yu You in high school, a malicious fire of anger burned in Hu Shuo’s heart. He opened his mouth, about to curse.
A mandrake fragrance came from behind him. Blown by the wind, his entire body was tightly entangled by this powerful Alpha pheromone, leaving him unable to breathe even half a breath.
Hu Shuo, who was already in his heat period, immediately lost half his reason. His own Omega cinnamon pheromones leaked out, and his knees went weak. Unable to hold on, he knelt on the ground and went into heat in full view of everyone.
Zhou Muxian, standing behind Hu Shuo, calmly stuck the blocking patch back over the gland at the back of her neck. Pretending nothing had happened, she turned and left.
She had always known very clearly that her Alpha pheromones were far stronger and more aggressive than those of other Alphas. Ordinary Omegas found them hard to resist, and Omegas in heat had no ability to fight back at all.
If Zhou Muxian had not spent the entire time after getting out of Yu You’s car imagining how to massage the back of Yu You’s neck, her mandrake pheromones would not have leaked even if they wanted to.
Hu Shuo had simply run into it at the wrong time.
Zhou Muxian had only just left the crowd when a small, delicate figure chased after her. “Muxian, did you smell a mandrake fragrance just now? It was so strong.”
“I didn’t smell it.” Zhou Muxian lied without changing expression.
Ge Yuan lowered her head and took a deep breath of the suppressant freshener in her hand, saying in relief, “Good thing you didn’t smell it. Otherwise, it would’ve been hard to resist such strong Alpha pheromones. I was lucky I brought this. Otherwise, going into heat on the spot like that boy would be way too embarrassing.”
Hearing this, Zhou Muxian turned back to look at the gathered crowd. Going into heat in public was indeed very embarrassing. A large release of private pheromones would also attract some Alphas who had lost self-control.
If that scene got out of control, it would be unbearably ugly.
Fortunately, the school security team quickly rushed over. Urgent whistles kept sounding as they repeatedly dispersed the gathered crowd.
But who was to blame? It could only be said that Hu Shuo had brought suffering on himself.
What Yu You had shouted angrily just now had also completely fallen into Zhou Muxian’s ears.
Only now did she understand that Hu Shuo’s eagerness to come up with ideas to deal with Yu You was not merely like those other people who wanted a share of the Yu family’s business. In truth, he also had a personal grudge from being rejected and humiliation from differentiating into an Omega.
Previously, Yu You had been the Yu family’s beloved daughter whom everyone held up high, so he had no chance to take revenge and could only silently nurse hatred.
Now that Yu You had finally fallen from the altar, he had found his opportunity.
“Muxian, there’s something I want to discuss with you. I don’t know if it’s okay.”
The person beside her, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. Zhou Muxian turned her head and saw Ge Yuan’s troubled expression. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, “You want to get your wages in advance, right? That’s fine.”
“No…”
Ge Yuan stopped walking. After struggling for a while, she said directly, “Can I ask for a few days off? My dad isn’t home these days, and my grandma fell and hurt her leg. She needs someone to take care of her daily needs. I can’t go to the greenhouse these next few days. I have to wait until my dad comes back in a few days.”
The moment Zhou Muxian heard that this involved Ge An, her nerves tightened, and she hurriedly asked, “Your dad isn’t home? What did he go to do?”
Seeing Zhou Muxian become emotional, Ge Yuan’s expression inevitably grew even more troubled. Sure enough, taking care of the greenhouse was extremely important, and asking for leave was not that easy.
“My dad went out of town. He said he was going to bring back an abandoned oil tanker. At the fastest, he won’t be back until the morning after tomorrow.”
Ge Yuan scratched her head and tried to negotiate again. “How about I go to the greenhouse after my grandma falls asleep? But by then it’ll be very late, and the flowers also need to rest…”
Ge Yuan kept talking to herself, but Zhou Muxian could not hear a single word. Her mind was filled only with the fact that Ge An had gone out of town to drive back an oil tanker.
How had the plot progressed so quickly in the blink of an eye? Ge An was already driving an oil tanker. Once he came back, would he crash into Father Yu and Mother Yu overnight and kill them?
Zhou Muxian hurriedly took out her phone to check the weather. There was no rain forecast for the next few days. Could it be that even without the rainy conditions from the original book, the current Ge An would still drive into Father Yu and Mother Yu and kill them?
This plot was truly beyond expectation.
Zhou Muxian hurriedly called Princess Fenxiang. This time, it was Princess Fenxiang’s turn to ignore her. The call was never answered.
“Is it okay, Muxian?” Ge Yuan asked cautiously, interrupting Zhou Muxian’s anxious thoughts. Without thinking, Zhou Muxian nodded repeatedly and answered perfunctorily, “Yes, yes, yes. It’s all fine.”
“Thank you, Muxian!”
Ge Yuan happily opened her backpack and took out a thermos. “Muxian, this is rose and white plum blossom tea I brewed. It nourishes yin and reduces restlessness. I noticed you’ve seemed a little unsettled these past few days.”
Hearing this, Zhou Muxian lowered her eyes and looked over. She saw there was also a birthday card in the backpack. On the cover of the birthday card was a photo of Ge Yuan and Ge An. She instinctively asked, “It’s your dad’s birthday?”
“Yes. His birthday is in a few days. My mom passed away when I was very young, and my dad raised me all by himself, so I never miss his birthday every year.”
Ge Yuan treasured that card dearly and placed it back with great care. But just as she was about to zip up the backpack, Zhou Muxian firmly grabbed her hand.
Her eyes shone, and she spoke anxiously, “Then can you call him right now and wish him a happy birthday?”
“Huh?”
