A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 2

Zhou Muxian looked at Yu You’s smug smile. She looked just like a child who had snatched her favorite toy; childish, yet with a few traces of cuteness.

So confident she would win?

Then Zhou Muxian would just have to keep her from getting what she wanted.

Quick-eyed and quick-handed, Zhou Muxian wrapped an arm around Yu You’s slender waist and used the momentum to spin in place. In the instant Yu You’s long dress fluttered through the air, the two of them fell to the ground together.

Thud—

Yu You’s entire body pressed down on Zhou Muxian. Her soft lips inevitably kissed Zhou Muxian hard on the cheek, and the faint daisy fragrance lingered all around them.

Compared to letting this delicate young lady fall and cry from the pain, it was better for Zhou Muxian to bear this slight suffering herself. Zhou Muxian naturally thought so, and only thought so.

Who would have expected that the person before her would have such a rich imagination?

“Pah, pah, pah!”

Yu You acted as if she had kissed something dirty, wiping her mouth again and again. Her peach blossom eyes glared angrily at Zhou Muxian as she spoke in a voice just loud enough for the two of them to hear. “You’re so scheming! You want to pretend to be a good person in front of Mom and Dad again, don’t you?”

Zhou Muxian was momentarily speechless. Then, remembering the plot of the original book, she quickly accepted Yu You’s personality.

After all, the conflict began with the real and fake heiresses fighting each other, and it also ended tragically because of that fight. So, making peace with Yu You was extremely important.

As for Yu You, in the original book, she was tsundere and domineering. On the surface, her thoughts seemed vicious and complicated, but in reality, her methods were only on the level of a child fighting over toys. She could not come up with any truly malicious actions at all.

Aside from running her mouth and saying a few nasty things, she had no other abilities.

She was even unbelievably soft-eared. It was also true that she deeply loved the Yu parents. Whether it was people, money, or affection, she was filled with an extremely strong possessiveness.

Against someone like this, confronting her head-on would not work. The only way was to show weakness and act like a green-tea schemer.

“Ugh… hiss…”

Zhou Muxian tightly furrowed her brows and carefully touched the back of her head, pretending that she had hit the back of her head when she fell and was in terrible pain.

Yu You rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, “Tsk, tsk, acting again. You fake little—”

Tap, tap, tap—

The hurried footsteps of Father Yu and Mother Yu came up each stair until they stopped at the stairway entrance.

“Xian’er, are you all right?”

Yu You raised her eyes to look at the two elders, whose gazes were full of anxiety. She was just about to angrily expose Zhou Muxian for acting, but unexpectedly, Zhou Muxian spoke first.

“Dad, Mom, of course I’m fine.”

Zhou Muxian smiled and sat up. There was not the slightest trace of pain on her relaxed and cheerful face. She looked up at Yu You, who had gotten up earlier, and teased her.

“Sister really is too thin! When you fell on me, you had no weight at all. You were just like a feather. You have to eat properly, okay?”

Yu You froze.

Zhou Muxian had actually not taken this chance to perform well in front of Mom and Dad. She had not criticized Yu You either, nor had she fabricated some strange lie like she usually did.

“Sister~ Pull me up.”

Zhou Muxian’s long, ink-black hair naturally fell over her shoulders, revealing her faintly visible fair shoulder. Although she was wearing a long-sleeved shirt today, that shoulder was somehow inexplicably eye-catching.

Her pupils were also deeper than ordinary people’s, so even though she was smiling so brightly at this moment, being stared at so closely by her still made one feel a little afraid and guarded.

The hand she stretched out looked even more like the ill-intentioned invitation of a thousand-year-old snake demon: Come here. Watch me eat even your bones clean.

Hmph—

Yu You turned her face away irritably and refused to pull her up.

Zhou Muxian lowered her head and smiled. No wonder Yu You was called a brainless paper tiger. Anyone with even a little scheming would know that acting tsundere at a time like this was useless. Shouldn’t they be competing to see who could act more like a green tea?

Mother Yu sensed the awkwardness in the air and hurriedly stepped forward, helping Zhou Muxian up. She tried hard to give her a caring smile.

She knew that Zhou Muxian was sensitive and insecure, always giving way in this family, always being bullied. But she also knew that Yu You, whom she had raised with her own hands, was also a kind baby with not a single bad thought.

Caught between these two daughters, she truly found it difficult to handle things.

“Youyou, look at Xian’er. Although she’s only a few hours younger than you, she really has the air of an older sister. As for you, you’re still a child who hasn’t grown up. Mom really spoiled you too much.”

Mother Yu had originally wanted to make the atmosphere less awkward, but as soon as the words left her mouth, Father Yu immediately coughed lightly. Only then did Mother Yu come back to her senses. She had misspoken. She had failed to balance the scales again.

Usually, at a time like this, Zhou Muxian would definitely say with her mouth that it was fine, then turn around with tears in her eyes and silently return to her room. If she did not hide in her room for twenty-four hours, she would absolutely not come out.

Mother Yu immediately became somewhat anxious. Her mouth opened and closed several times. She wanted to make up for it by saying something, but she did not know what to say.

Seeing this, Yu You was like a cheerful little sparrow. She suddenly pounced into Mother Yu’s arms and rubbed her head against her chest. “Mmm~~~ Mom is the best. I love Mom the most. I’ll always be Mom’s little baby.”

Mother Yu was delighted that Yu You was acting spoiled toward her like this, but at the same time, she was worried Zhou Muxian would be unhappy. For a moment, the corners of her mouth rose, then fell, making her expression extremely twisted.

Father Yu scratched his head and tried to open his arms, wanting Zhou Muxian to feel some fatherly love too, but no matter what, he could not quite bring himself to spread his arms.

The atmosphere instantly turned cold to the extreme.

No one expected Zhou Muxian to curve her brows and eyes and also throw herself toward Mother Yu, pulling both Mother Yu and Yu You into her arms.

“Sister is the best. I love Sister the most. I’ll always be Sister’s little baby.”

Hearing this, Father Yu and Mother Yu’s suspended hearts immediately settled. The two of them could not help but burst into hearty laughter.

But Yu You, hiding in Mother Yu’s arms, had a frozen smile. She glared hatefully at Zhou Muxian in front of her, feeling that Zhou Muxian’s words just now had deliberately imitated her to mock and disgust her.

Father Yu and Mother Yu did not know, but how could she not know?

A few days ago, when it had only been the two of them, Zhou Muxian had deliberately smashed the limited-edition ceramic doll that Mom had given her.

At that time, Zhou Muxian had said all sorts of nasty things…

“Don’t think that just because Dad and Mom dote on you, that means they love you. Kindhearted people like Dad and Mom would develop feelings even if they raised a dog. A fake is still a fake. How can you compare to me, their real daughter?”

“The reason they haven’t chased you away yet is just because they pity a stray dog by the roadside, isn’t it? After all, your biological parents died long ago. What difference is there between you and a stray dog now?”

“These things were originally mine. You’ve occupied my things for so many years. Now I can destroy them however I want, and I can drive you out whenever I want!”

Yu You would never forget that contemptuous look for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Yu You burrowed even harder into Mother Yu’s arms. Sensing the change in Yu You, Zhou Muxian also hugged the two of them even more tightly.

Mother Yu, who was being tightly held by both of them, finally revealed her happiest smile in days.

“Hahaha, you two sisters must get along well. You are both Mom and Dad’s precious darlings.”

Zhou Muxian nodded hard. “Mm!”

When Yu You saw her obedient appearance, she could not help rolling her eyes.

“Sister, today is such a good day. I prepared a surprise for you. Come to my room and take a look!”

Zhou Muxian suddenly reached out her hand toward Yu You, looking at her with a face full of expectation.

Yu You scoffed at her attempt to show goodwill, but her extremely unhappy heart also happened to want to find a space where only the two of them could vent a little. So she twitched the corners of her mouth and reluctantly took Zhou Muxian’s hand.

“Fine.”

Zhou Muxian happily held her hand and brought her back to her room. The instant the door closed, Yu You flung her hand away in disgust.

“Zhou Muxian, what trick are you trying to play now?”

Zhou Muxian blinked at her obediently. “How could that be, Sister? You’ve misunderstood me. I really did prepare a gift for you.”

“Keep pretending.” Yu You crossed her arms over her chest, the corners of her mouth twitching irritably. Seeing that Zhou Muxian really had turned around to rummage through the drawer, she warily took two steps back.

“Hmph. You vicious woman. You couldn’t have hidden some dead mouse in the drawer to scare me, could you?”

Zhou Muxian did not answer. Instead, she rolled up her long sleeve, revealing a lean, slender section of her arm, and kept rummaging through the drawer.

Yu You’s gaze was unconsciously drawn to that fair arm. For some reason, she felt that this arm should be very strong…

Ta-da-da-da—

For no apparent reason, Zhou Muxian suddenly turned around, holding something high in her hand. Yu You was so frightened that she retreated again and again, her entire back slamming into the doorframe. She nearly fell to the floor.

“What’s wrong, Sister?”

Zhou Muxian looked at the startled Yu You in some confusion, then raised her eyes to look at the necklace she was holding up. She did not understand what Yu You was afraid of.

Yu You had not clearly seen Zhou Muxian’s movement just now and had thought it really was some dead mouse. That was why she had been frightened enough to crash into the door. Once she saw the object clearly, she awkwardly supported herself against the wall and climbed back up.

“What is this?” Yu You awkwardly rubbed her aching shoulder, barely forcing out an aura of fearlessness.

Zhou Muxian took two steps forward and displayed the necklace more clearly for Yu You to see. “This is your favorite Wanpai limited-edition custom necklace. There’s only one in the world.”

When Yu You heard this, her expression became even uglier.

She especially loved the luxury brand Wanpai, so from childhood until now, she had always pestered her parents to buy her jewelry from this brand. But Mom and Dad had never bought her a limited edition, let alone a custom piece.

After all, Mom and Dad always said that they could not spoil a child too much, and that they could talk about it after she graduated from university.

But one night, not long after Zhou Muxian returned, Yu You had passed by Mom and Dad’s bedroom door and heard Zhou Muxian ask them for a Wanpai limited-edition necklace. They had agreed immediately.

Unexpectedly, not only was it limited edition, it was also a one-of-a-kind custom piece.

At this moment, Yu You felt as if she had eaten ten thousand jin of lemons soaked in chili peppers. Her whole body burned with sourness, and the moment she opened her mouth, the jealousy practically shot to the sky. “You’ve misunderstood. I don’t like this brand anymore. Only children who have never seen the world would like this brand, so no matter how much you show off to me, it’s useless. I—”

Zhou Muxian smiled as she watched Yu You’s words that said one thing while meaning another. In truth, the envy in Yu You’s eyes could not be hidden at all. She was staring so hard at the necklace that she seemed like she wanted to burn holes into it with her eyes. Paired with her gorgeous features and tsundere expression, she had a unique charm.

“It’s for you, Sister.”

She smiled and brought the necklace closer, interrupting Yu You’s words.

Yu You froze again, staring at Zhou Muxian in disbelief. The shallow cleverness on the surface was swept away, replaced by blank stupefaction.

Seeing this expression, Zhou Muxian could not help but burst out laughing. There was inevitably a bit of kind teasing in that laugh, but Yu You still angrily turned her face away.

“You’re trying to trick me again! I won’t—”

The warm pendant unexpectedly touched her neck. Yu You was startled. The person before her had already gently lifted aside her big wavy curls and was carefully putting the necklace around her neck.

Zhou Muxian had clearly fastened the clasp long ago, but she deliberately lingered and did not move. Only when she sensed Yu You’s breathing gradually grow heavier at such a close distance did she smile in satisfaction, let go, and take a few steps back.

Yu You’s cheeks were three shades pinker than before, and her expression was even more cramped. Yet her words were still just as forceful.

“Oh! I get it. You want to tell Mom and Dad that I stole this necklace from you and that I’m the bad one! Zhou Muxian, I’m not stupid! Don’t even think about fooling me!”

Zhou Muxian saw that even though Yu You said this, her hands showed no intention of taking off the necklace. She could not help teasing her with a smile. “You’re that scared? You don’t even have this much courage? Then give it back to me.”

Yu You immediately stopped talking.

Something that had been given to her was hers. She was not willing to hand it back.

At worst… at worst, she would just get scolded by Mom and Dad. So what?

Seeing that she really was unwilling to return it, Zhou Muxian could not help pulling the corners of her mouth into a mischievous smile. She stretched out a hand and walked toward her. “I understand. Sister wants me to personally help take it off? No problem…”

Yu You covered her neck at once like a startled deer. She retreated again and again, opened the door in terror, and ran away in a flash.

After she ran back to her own room and locked the door, Yu You took off the necklace around her neck and admired it over and over. When she touched the cold diamond pendant, she suddenly remembered that when Zhou Muxian had put the necklace on her, the sensation had clearly been warm.

Could it be that she had been so thoughtful that she had warmed the necklace with her hand ahead of time?

Yu You pursed her lips and snorted coldly. “Hmph, bad thing. Who knows what evil trick you’re thinking of now! I won’t fall for it!”
