A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 4
Inside the Civil Affairs Bureau hall, the counters for marriage registration were on the left, while the counters for divorce registration were on the right. In the middle was a seating area for people to rest while waiting for their numbers to be called.
Zhou Muxian tightly held Yu You’s hand and walked to the center. Without allowing any argument, she pressed Yu You down onto a seat.
On both sides, two extreme dramas were playing out.
On the left were gorgeous flowers and sweet words. There were even people kneeling on the ground to present diamond rings.
“Thank you, baby, for marrying me. I’ll love you for the rest of my life.”
“I’m so lucky to have met you in this life. We must stay together forever and ever.”
On the right were pairs of sour faces and bitter words, as if they were about to start fighting each other in the next second.
“You liar. You’ve always only known how to say nice things, but what have you actually given me? Nightmares?”
“When you proposed, you said you liked my little temper the most and that it was so cute. Now that we’re getting divorced, you’re saying I have the temper of a stupid pig and asking which Alpha would ever want me?”
Hearing these words, Yu You lifted her chin and spoke disdainfully. “What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me marriage is ridiculous? That everyone will end in tragedy?”
Zhou Muxian shook her head. She no longer had the green-tea act she had put on at home earlier. Instead, she looked at Yu You with incomparable seriousness.
“I want to tell you that you need to learn how to distinguish what sincerity is.
“Sincerity is not something words or material things can imitate. The sincerity between people is the easiest thing to see.
“When you start doubting whether someone is sincere or not, then they aren’t.”
Seeing that Zhou Muxian was actually lecturing her, Yu You angrily turned her head to the side, unwilling to listen at all. “Who asked you to meddle? You should take care of your own jealousy from just now first! From what I see, you’re much deeper in it than I am.”
“I’m not. I sobered up immediately. I was freed right then and there! She’s just a scallion in my heart now.”
As Zhou Muxian spoke, she raised her hand and swore, looking at Yu You with eyes full of sincerity.
Hearing her speak so decisively and firmly, Yu You was unwilling to be outdone. She hurriedly straightened her back and said, “I was freed immediately too. She’s just a clove of garlic in my heart now.”
“Then who was the one with tears in her eyes?”
Zhou Muxian’s words hit the nail on the head and were somewhat sharp. Yu You felt uncomfortable, and the watery shine in her eyes increased a little. She sucked in a deep breath and pursed her lips unwillingly in rebuttal.
“You misunderstood. I’m sad because my sincerity was betrayed. I treated her as a close, caring older sister and wanted to be good friends with her. She played with me, so of course I’m upset. I never liked her.”
After saying these heartfelt words, Yu You immediately furrowed her brows and tightly clenched her back teeth. The gorgeous beauty instantly looked like an irritable yet foolish antelope. “Why am I telling you all this? Are we even that close?”
The people around them smelled gossip and instantly quieted down, all casting their gazes over.
Zhou Muxian could not tell how much of what Yu You had just said was true or false. But knowing that the seed buried in Yu You’s heart would now never bloom and bear fruit, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her expression could not help relaxing.
She gave a soft “shh,” reminding Yu You that her voice had been too loud just now. Then she slowly leaned closer to Yu You and spoke softly beside her ear. “Then don’t like her in the future either. Even if she comes looking for you, don’t pay attention to her, okay?”
It sounded like she was coaxing a child, and even more like flirting.
Yu You suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. She wanted to hide to the side, but for some reason, her upper body did not move at all, allowing Zhou Muxian to “nibble” at her ear.
“I can’t bear to see Sister suffer grievances~ My heart will ache~”
Zhou Muxian took the chance to bring out her good-little-sister identity again, trying to refresh Yu You’s favorability toward her. But when Yu You heard these green-tea words, she instantly came back to her senses. Remembering the nasty things Zhou Muxian had once said, a nameless fire immediately rushed straight to the top of her head.
When it came to acting like a green tea, Zhou Muxian was an expert. Yu You would not believe her so easily. She suddenly stood up, only to hear a ripping sound—
The sweater on her back seemed to have been hooked by something on the seat. Because she had stood up too quickly and violently, it was torn open in a large rip.
A big section of the sweater on her back split open out of nowhere, revealing a large patch of skin and her butterfly bones. A chill invaded her back, making Yu You shiver.
Of course, perhaps it was an embarrassed shiver.
Before Yu You could make any protective reaction, Zhou Muxian had already swiftly taken off her wool coat and draped it over Yu You. As for Zhou Muxian herself, she was left wearing only a thin black knit top, outlining an impressive curve at her chest, a slender waist, and a pair of striking long legs.
Yu You immediately stared blankly. She did not understand how someone so slender could still have such perfect and impressive curves.
The person being stared at and “admired” suddenly revealed a meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth. Feeling guilty, Yu You immediately shifted her gaze away and started picking a fight.
“Don’t think I’ll be grateful to you. I don’t need this coat…”
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Muxian reached out and pinched both sides of the coat, pretending to lift it open. “Oh~ So Sister likes showing everyone her sexy back. I was being nosy.”
Yu You hurriedly pressed Zhou Muxian’s hands firmly against the coat and stubbornly said, “Mm! It is very sexy. My back already looks good. I have butterfly bones too. It’s already very fashionable…”
Hearing this, Zhou Muxian again pretended to lift the coat open. “All right, I’ll listen to Sister. I’ll take the coat away.”
Zhou Muxian’s lean hands really were strong. For a moment, Yu You could not quite hold them down. She could only say weakly, “Don’t.”
It sounded like acting spoiled, and even more like begging for mercy.
Zhou Muxian could barely suppress the corners of her mouth. So teasing a fool was this fun. She suddenly felt waves surging in her heart, extremely stirred up, and even her eyes lit up at once.
Yu You’s bright eyes quietly turned. Noticing the smile on Zhou Muxian’s face, she strode outside irritably. “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”
The two returned to the car one after the other, but the atmosphere was completely different from before.
The driver looked at Yu You in the back seat, draped in Zhou Muxian’s coat, then looked at Zhou Muxian’s smiling face. Seeming to understand something, he held back a laugh and asked, “Misses, are we going home?”
“Home.”
They answered almost in unison. Yu You turned her face away in annoyance. How had she ended up being in sync with her!
Zhou Muxian lightly adjusted the rearview mirror and saw Yu You’s puffed-up face. She looked like a pink little pufferfish. Zhou Muxian was so struck by her cuteness that she shook her head.
What a huge temper. She really must not get so angry one day that she made herself die of rage.
When the two returned home and opened the front door, they smelled a hint of tension. Looking up, they saw Father Yu and Mother Yu sitting on the sofa with solemn faces. On the coffee table were two cups of freshly brewed tea, but neither had been touched.
Hearing the movement, the two looked up. They were completely different from their usual kind-father, loving-mother appearances. They looked as stern as they had when Yu You had once skipped school as a child to go play games at an internet café, only to be caught and scolded for three hours. While scolding her, they had not forgotten to hold a ruler in their hands as a threat.
At the time, Yu You had cried with snot and tears all over her face, terrified that the ruler would land on her in the next second. Although she had not been beaten in the end, she had been frightened badly enough that she never dared to skip school again.
Thinking of this, Yu You still felt lingering fear. Now, seeing that Zhou Muxian was also about to be scolded, she was so happy she almost wanted to wag her tail.
“Xian’er, why didn’t you go to class this morning? Your class adviser couldn’t find you and thought something had happened. The call even reached me.”
Mother Yu tried to speak in a calm tone, but the anger in her eyes was already about to erupt.
Naturally, Zhou Muxian could not expose Yu You’s matter. She was just thinking about how to explain things properly when Yu You, beside her, actually went happily to the storage room and found a ruler. She seriously placed it on the coffee table, then lightly patted it.
Perhaps thinking that one tool was not enough, she went to the kitchen and found a thick rolling pin, placing it on the coffee table with a thud. As before, she lightly patted it.
It was as if she was instructing these tools—do your best! You must beat her to death later!
Zhou Muxian was both amused and exasperated. While Father Yu and Mother Yu’s attention also fell on the coffee table, she hurriedly glared at Yu You as a warning.
But Yu You did not know what was good for her. She shook her head and began adding fuel to the fire. “Little Sister wasn’t obedient. I told Little Sister not to skip school, but Little Sister wouldn’t listen. Little Sister insisted on cutting class. Little Sister can’t be left unmanaged. Mom, you have to scold her fiercely. Only then will she learn her lesson!”
Mother Yu raised her eyes to look at Zhou Muxian, and the anger in her gaze was about to explode.
Yu You, oh Yu You. You were the one who acted heartless and unjust first, so don’t blame me for being merciless.
Meeting Mother Yu’s stern gaze, Zhou Muxian spoke without hesitation. “Mom, I didn’t skip school on purpose. It was because… Sister was going on a date, and I was worried, so I secretly followed her. That person really was a bad person! A very, very bad person!”
As soon as these words came out, the situation immediately reversed. Yu You looked at Zhou Muxian in disbelief, never expecting that she would actually betray her.
The anger in Mother Yu’s eyes instantly burned toward Yu You, and Father Yu could not sit still either. He reached out to grab the rolling pin.
Yu You was so frightened that she froze for two seconds, then hurriedly pointed at Zhou Muxian and said, “That scumbag also went on dates with Little Sister! Little Sister personally said that they kissed and hugged! I never kissed or hugged her! I only ate with her a few times, watched movies a few times, and went on walks a few times! I was very well-behaved!”
The situation instantly became even more urgent. Zhou Muxian tried to explain, “I never kissed or hugged…”
However, an explanation at this time was far too pale and powerless. Father Yu and Mother Yu were already furious. Every word they spoke carried a natural pressure as they frightened and scolded the two into explaining everything honestly.
Yu You, the little fool, was terrible at lying. After she was seen through, she could only honestly confess. Naturally, she also did not know that the highest level of lying was a montage-style lie.
“Dad, Mom, I know that Princess Fenxiang has always gone against our family’s business and investments. So when she first approached me, I already felt that something was wrong. I wanted to keep an eye out. Then I accidentally discovered that she had also gone to approach Sister, which made me feel even more that she had bad intentions. So I pretended to be friends with her, but in reality, I wanted to see what exactly she was trying to do.
“My relationship with Sister was really too terrible a while ago. There was no way for me to warn her about something like this. She wouldn’t have believed me. So today, I deliberately followed her when she went out, and I also deliberately said those things to Princess Fenxiang, all to tear apart her hypocritical mask and make sure she would never be able to take advantage of Sister again!
“My sister—I will personally protect her! No one is allowed to hurt her!”
When these words fell into Father Yu and Mother Yu’s ears, they sounded extremely believable. Yu You, however, scoffed at them. If Zhou Muxian had not once said those vicious and nasty words to her, she really might have been moved by these words today.
Father Yu and Mother Yu’s gazes toward Zhou Muxian were full of approval. But when they looked at Yu You again, their faces were still filled with towering anger.
“Hold out your hand. You’re really becoming lawless now. If we don’t hit you, you won’t learn your lesson.”
Mother Yu picked up the old ruler and stared straight at Yu You. Yu You knew she was in the wrong first, so how could she dare resist? She could only faintly stretch out her hand.
Smack—
The ruler did not land on Yu You’s palm, but on Zhou Muxian’s. She had actually stretched out her hand quickly and blocked this hot, stinging strike for Yu You.
All three of them looked at Zhou Muxian in surprise, unable to understand her actions.
“Sister is already very sad. Mom and Dad, don’t hit her anymore. Hit me instead. From now on, I’ll definitely protect Sister properly and won’t let her suffer even the slightest harm!”
Yu You’s heart trembled, and her pupils became a little unfocused. For a moment, she could not tell whether this was another one of Zhou Muxian’s bitter-flesh schemes or a sincere declaration.
Zhou Muxian turned her head to look at Yu You. Seeing her dazed state, she looked like a gorgeous rose blooming at its most flourishing moment, blown by the wind, about to fall but not yet fallen.
It was truly extremely tempting, extremely enough to make one want to comfort her.
Unable to help herself, Zhou Muxian spread her arms and tightly hugged Yu You.
“I love Sister the most~ I want to be Sister’s obedient little puppy~”
