A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 28

Zhou Muxian searched the resort in a full circle, then asked around in another full circle. Hearing that Yu You was in the parking lot, she ran to the outdoor parking area without stopping for breath.

Under the sunlight, Yu You stood leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, chatting happily with Chun Ling. At this moment, there was no trace of sadness left on her face. Their bell-like laughter could be heard throughout the entire parking lot.

What a beautiful scene of two beauties laughing and talking!

Yu You seemed to sense someone standing not far away. Her gaze shifted and gently landed on Zhou Muxian’s face…

Meeting her eyes, Zhou Muxian’s heart tightened. She was just about to step forward when Yu You lightly looked away and continued laughing and talking with Chun Ling beside her.

Zhou Muxian instinctively gritted her teeth, her heart filled with unease. Someone with high emotional intelligence like Chun Ling—had she already comforted Yu You with just a few words? Was that why Yu You was no longer sad?

Then did that mean Yu You no longer needed her oath?

Chun Ling finally noticed Zhou Muxian and smiled as she waved at her. “Little Sister, come here. Your sister and I are going to look at the venue for an art exhibition. Do you want to come with us?”

Before Zhou Muxian could speak, Yu You had already casually refused on her behalf with a smile. “Her heat period has come recently, and she isn’t feeling well. It’s better for her to stay at home. We’ll go by ourselves. Let’s go.”

After Yu You finished speaking, she decisively walked toward her car, quickly got in, quickly started the car, and disappeared in a flash.

Zhou Muxian stood alone in the empty parking lot. This time, she truly could not smile anymore.

It seemed Sister did not want to pay attention to her anymore.

Was she going to draw a clear line between them?

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Her phone vibrating interrupted Zhou Muxian’s daze. Could Sister have changed her mind?

Zhou Muxian hurriedly took out her phone and looked closely. It was not Yu You calling, but the class monitor, Jin Feifei.

“What is it?”

Zhou Muxian’s tone was faint, as if she were alive but barely.

On the other end, Jin Feifei spoke half laughing, half threatening. “Zhou Muxian, fine, you didn’t come to the class gathering. But today is our little trio’s private gathering. You absolutely have to come. If you don’t, we’ll cut ties with you as friends.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yingying’s coquettish voice also came through. “Come on, come on. Let’s have a drink together. We’ve never drunk together before. It’s near the art district, very close to your home.”

The art district. Most of the art exhibitions and gallery shows were concentrated around that area. Maybe she could even run into Yu You.

“Fine.”

Zhou Muxian simply agreed. Immediately, cheerful voices came from the other end of the call. “Then I’ll send you the location now. Hurry over. We’re just missing you!”

An hour later, Zhou Muxian stood at the entrance of a bar called “Rose Manor.” Her eyes could not help losing focus as she remembered what Princess Fenxiang had said through the broadcast speaker at noon.

Purple roses were Yu You’s favorite flowers, while Princess Fenxiang had repeatedly chosen to give Yu You purple bellflowers.

“When did you get here? Why are you standing at the door? Come in!” Jin Feifei, who happened to be going out to buy suppressants, saw Zhou Muxian and dragged her into the bar without any explanation, pulling her to the sofa in the farthest corner.

“You two drink first. I’m going to buy some suppressants. They might come in handy. We’re still students. We can have fun, but we can’t let anything happen.”

After Jin Feifei finished giving instructions, she turned and walked toward the door.

Zhou Muxian raised her eyes and looked at Ye Yingying beside her. She was holding her phone and playing a game, without even the time to glance at Zhou Muxian. She only kept saying, “Almost done, almost done. Zhou Muxian, wait for me. Once I kill them, I’ll chat with you!”

Zhou Muxian did not speak. Seeing several glasses of alcohol in different colors on the round table, not knowing what they were, she picked them up without thinking and drank them all in one go.

Tap—

The moment the glass was set down, Ye Yingying instinctively glanced over and was shocked. “Ah! Why did you drink it all at once? Are you okay?!”

“I’m fine.” Zhou Muxian did not take it seriously.

But Ye Yingying was so anxious she stopped playing her game. She threw her phone aside and picked up the empty glass on the table, looking at it again and again. “You… you… why did you drink it all? What if you get drunk later?!”

“I actually wish I could get drunk once.” Zhou Muxian sighed faintly and smiled bitterly. “I was born with no reaction to alcohol. Sometimes I really want to experience what it feels like to be drunk and lost in a dream.”

Ye Yingying blinked. Like a sneaky little gossip-hungry creature in a melon field, she moved closer to Zhou Muxian. “What’s wrong, our Miss Yu? Suffering from heartbreak?”

“Heartbreak?”

Jin Feifei returned with the suppressants right then. Afraid she had missed the first scene of gossip, she anxiously squeezed between their seats, forcibly separating them.

“Who’s suffering from heartbreak? Ye Yingying, which Alpha did you fall for?”

Ye Yingying pouted and pointed at Zhou Muxian. “Not me. It’s our Miss Yu here. Most likely, she’s suffering from heartbreak because of that beautiful older sister of hers.”

Hearing this, Jin Feifei furrowed her brows. “Muxian, this won’t do. Sooner or later, you’ll be deceived by some beautiful bad woman until your heart and guts are torn apart. Keep your money in your hands. That’s more important than anything.”

“Exactly.”

Zhou Muxian was not someone with a strong desire to confide in others, but right now, she truly had no second person she could talk to. And Yu You was being misunderstood by these two, so she could not help speaking up.

“She didn’t deceive me. She was the one who was hurt by someone else. I wanted to comfort her, but I missed the timing. She was very disappointed, and I regret it a lot too.”

Zhou Muxian said this solemnly. Jin Feifei and Ye Yingying looked at her like they had seen a ghost.

“Comforting someone needs timing too? You just walk up to her and comfort her, don’t you?”

Ye Yingying also looked at Zhou Muxian in confusion. “Yeah. If you can’t say it in person, you can send a message. It’s all the same.”

Zhou Muxian sighed. “But someone else has already comforted her. She doesn’t need my comfort anymore. If I go comfort her now, I’ll only annoy her.”

Jin Feifei could not stand seeing Zhou Muxian so tangled and miserable. As a friend, of course she had to stand firmly on her friend’s side without thinking. So she righteously began scolding.

“In my opinion, you don’t need to comfort that sister or whatever. If she’s sad, then she’s sad. What does that have to do with you? Isn’t she just demanding emotional value from you? Why should you give it to her? It’s not like she’ll die of sadness without your comfort. She’s asking you to give and give. Maybe she wants to control you.”

Ye Yingying nodded deeply. “Exactly, exactly.”

Not only was Zhou Muxian not comforted by the two of them, she was instead provoked. For a moment, she could not control her emotions and spoke the truth in her heart.

“But other than that, I have no other value to her. Why didn’t she go ask someone else for emotional value? Why did she come to me alone? That means I’m different from others in her heart!

“She wanted it, and I had it, so of course I should have given it to her. But I didn’t. I missed the best timing. I really regret it. Right now, in her eyes, I must be completely worthless.”

Jin Feifei and Ye Yingying listened until they were dumbfounded, unable to say even half a word for a long time.

In the bar, the dim purple light swayed across Zhou Muxian’s face along with the rhythm of the music. In the alternating brightness and darkness, the regret on her face remained unchanged.

After a moment of silence, Ye Yingying was the first to speak.

“When I was in elementary school, I met a very interesting girl classmate. I really liked her and wanted to be friends with her. I found out she liked watermelon-flavored popping candy, so I specially went and bought a whole box, planning to give it to her at school the next day.

“But the next day, she got sick and didn’t come to school. She lay at home for more than half a month before finally coming back. So the next day, I moved the popping candy to school again, but that day, she was gone too. I asked the teacher and found out that because of her parents’ work, she had transferred to a school in another district.

“I cried and pestered my mom to take me to that school. My mom and I waited at the school gate for an entire day but didn’t see her. But I still wouldn’t give up. The next day, my mom and I went again. My mom helped me ask about her class, but she didn’t come to class that day. On the third day, we went again, and this time, I finally saw her. I gave her the popping candy, and she agreed to be friends with me.”

As Ye Yingying spoke, she looked at Jin Feifei beside her. “From then on, we’ve always been good friends. We went to the same middle school, the same high school, the same university, and even now, we’re still inseparable best friends.”

At this moment, the lighting was dim and did not reach the corner, making it impossible to see Jin Feifei’s expression clearly. One could only see that she had lowered her head, not daring to meet Ye Yingying’s burning gaze.

Ye Yingying did not mind. She smiled and turned her gaze back to Zhou Muxian. “What I want to tell you is, if someone truly wants to give something to someone they care about, then no matter how difficult it is, no matter whether the timing is right or not, they will definitely give it.

“If any small difficulty can become an obstacle, that means you didn’t truly want to give it in the first place. What you’re hesitating over isn’t whether the other person will be comforted by you. You’re hesitating over whether you’ll receive enough feedback. Then what about your original intention? Is it still hoping the other person will be happy?”

Zhou Muxian lowered her eyes. What Ye Yingying said was not what she had been thinking. She had only wanted to maximize its value. How could the happiness brought by thirty points of value compare to the happiness brought by one hundred points of value?

But Ye Yingying’s courage had also awakened her. No matter when, do not wait for the right timing.

If there was no timing, create it.

As long as one offered up a sincere heart, then no matter when or where, that was the best moment.

Zhou Muxian stood up abruptly, strode out of Rose Manor, and headed straight for the art district next door.

By coincidence, from far away, she saw Yu You wearing that fishtail dress with a black wool coat draped over her shoulders. She stood casually beneath a streetlight, yet still attracted countless gazes.

Zhou Muxian strode toward her. From the corner of her eye, she saw a loudspeaker lying on the empty security desk and chair nearby. She casually picked it up, turned on the amplifier, and shouted at Yu You.

“I swear, I am sincere toward you! I will always treat you well! I will always let you see my sincerity! Every single time, I will catch you without hesitation!”

In the quiet art district, the voice coming from the loudspeaker was deafening. For a moment, all movement surged in from every direction.

Everyone poked their heads out from hidden places—behind trees, indoors, on staircases—and all gazes landed completely on Zhou Muxian as she walked toward Yu You.

Quite a few people were even holding up their phones, snapping away furiously.

Being watched and scrutinized by everyone, Yu You’s body instantly stiffened. She deliberately turned her head away casually, pretending she was not the person involved.

But Zhou Muxian assumed Yu You had been distracted and had not heard, so she held up the loudspeaker, moved closer to her, and repeated, “Sister, I swear, I am sincere toward you.”

Yu You smoothed her hair and walked to another streetlight.

Zhou Muxian froze for a moment, then felt it must be that her tone had not been sincere enough. So she coughed lightly, held up the loudspeaker again, and chased after Yu You, stopping right in front of her.

“Sister! I am sincere toward you! I swear! If I deceive you, then I will disappear from this world forever!”
