A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 5

The late winter evening wind rang the purple wind chimes on the balcony. It brushed over the skin exposed to the air, feeling like rolling across sandpaper made of ice.

Yu You circled around the house again and again, wanting to have an unintentional encounter with Zhou Muxian. Unexpectedly, she could not find Zhou Muxian in any room. In the end, she found her on the third-floor balcony, her figure wreathed in smoke.

Yu You’s eyes instantly lit up. She excitedly pushed open the glass door and deliberately slowed her steps, walking toward Zhou Muxian one step at a time. The smugness on her face showed no intention of being hidden at all.

Hmph. Let’s see you keep pretending to be obedient. I’ve caught you now, haven’t I?

Seeing her approach, Zhou Muxian hurriedly stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in her hand. Almost instinctively, she greeted her with a smile. “Sister~”

“Calling me Sister won’t work.” Yu You raised her proud chin and laughed freely. “I’m going to tell Mom that you learned how to smoke.”

Hearing this blatant threat, Zhou Muxian also laughed.

If Yu You really wanted to tattle, she would have secretly gone already. Why would she deliberately walk up to her and say it? She simply wanted to see Zhou Muxian look “troubled” and “beg for mercy.”

“Good Sister, don’t tell Mom and Dad.”

Zhou Muxian smiled as she pulled Yu You’s arm and gently shook it. Her affectionate, watery eyes stared straight at Yu You. “Okay…?”

Yu You had to admit that Zhou Muxian was also very beautiful, especially when she kept a cold face and did not speak. She looked just like an untouchable flower blooming high on a snowy peak, making people unconsciously focus all their attention on her face.

But whenever Zhou Muxian deliberately showed a seductive smile, Yu You felt a little uncomfortable. She did not know why. Clearly, the other party was the one lowering herself to cater to her and coax a smile from her, but Yu You felt a kind of fear, as if she were being invaded by a powerful Alpha.

But Zhou Muxian was clearly an Omega. On the first day she came home, the whole family had seen her genetic test report.

Perhaps this was fate. She possessed the charm of an Alpha, yet lacked the ability, and could only become an Omega.

Zhou Muxian gently shook her hand and spoke as if both concerned and teasing. “What is Sister looking at? You’re staring like a silly goose.”

As Yu You came back to her senses, she shivered and instinctively hugged her arms. She had come out in a hurry and was only wearing a thin shawl. Now, with the wind blowing, goosebumps rose all over her body.

Zhou Muxian smoothly took off her trench coat and draped it over Yu You. She murmured almost against her ear, “Good Sister, don’t tell Mom and Dad about the smoking. Tomorrow after class, I’ll bring you popcorn, okay?”

Seeing that Yu You did not react, Zhou Muxian added, “Butter cookies? White chocolate ice cream? Grilled skewers? Iced Coke? French fries? Fried milk?”

Zhou Muxian’s deliberately lowered murmur sounded like a demon, constantly tempting Yu You into losing the last of her reason. Images of these foods kept appearing in her mind, and her bright eyes gradually became somewhat unfocused.

Father Yu and Mother Yu doted on her greatly, but they also controlled her very strictly. They never allowed her to eat high-calorie junk food, and from time to time, they checked her spending records to see whether she was disciplined.

Every time they discovered it once, some dishes Yu You liked would disappear from the family dining table, replaced entirely by various salt-free, oil-free cold dishes and egg whites.

Yu You truly felt that this was no different from eating grass. Thinking back, the last time she ate ice cream seemed to have been when she was studying abroad.

Although she had quite a few friends, Yu You, who loved face and was tsundere by nature, truly could not bring herself to ask those friends who worked out every day to maintain their figures to treat her to fried skewers.

Because of that, almost no one knew about these hidden tastes of hers.

Zhou Muxian had not been in this family for long, so Yu You did not know how she knew this secret. Yu You pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy.

Maybe Mom and Dad told her.

Had their relationship already become that close?

Had they also spoken badly about her behind her back?

Thinking of this, Yu You’s brows immediately furrowed. Her shell-like, shining teeth bit hard into her cherry-red lips, and the beauty’s anger was about to erupt.

Zhou Muxian watched the rise and fall of her expression from the side and only felt puzzled. Seeing Yu You suddenly raise her hand, Zhou Muxian instinctively took a step back and made a defensive posture with both hands.

Sure enough, Zhou Muxian’s vision went black. The trench coat, carrying a faint daisy fragrance, covered her entire head.

At the same time, Yu You’s irritated voice also came crashing down over her head. “I’m giving it back to you! I don’t want—”

Just then, a gust of strong wind swept past, making both of them shiver. Yu You’s scolding words got stuck in her throat for a moment and failed to come out smoothly.

The corners of Zhou Muxian’s mouth suddenly lifted slightly in understanding.

At night, she had come to the balcony to smoke.

Then what about Yu You? Wearing such thin sleepwear, what had she come here to do? Look at the stars?

She walked in a sly, annoying manner in front of Yu You, who was preparing to leave. When Yu You took a step forward, she smiled and took a step back, speaking in the most innocent and clueless tone. “Did Sister come here especially to look for me? Why are you leaving so quickly? Don’t you want to chat a little longer?”

Yu You looked speechless, as if she had heard something absurd. She coldly laughed and crossed her arms while looking elsewhere. “You think too highly of yourself. This is my family’s balcony. Why can’t I come here?!”

Zhou Muxian nodded sincerely again and again. “Of course, of course. Whether I’m on the balcony or in the kitchen, the living room, the bathtub, or even on the toilet, Sister can come look for me anytime…”

So greasy.

Yu You’s mouth twitched. Her eyes turned, and she was just about to roll them hard.

But Zhou Muxian withdrew her smile and added the second half of the sentence with incomparable sincerity. “Because this place will always be Sister’s home, and I will always be Sister’s good little sister.”

Yu You’s hurried steps toward the glass door suddenly stopped, and her gaze gradually lost focus.

She… isn’t trying to drive me away anymore?

No. There’s no way she’s that kindhearted. This must be some new soft-hearted tactic!

How despicable. She keeps making me fall for it again and again without realizing it!

Thinking of this, Yu You’s breathing became somewhat hurried. It was as if a ball of fire was burning in her chest, spreading to her organs, wanting to burn straight through her entire body.

Although the night wind was still cold and sharp, her cheeks and exposed skin were burning hot.

Yu You’s unfocused gaze suddenly trembled. Not good. Her heat period was not over yet. It was acting up again.

She shoved Zhou Muxian away and staggered straight toward the glass door. Her body and shoulder crashed into the glass door with a thud, but as if she did not feel the pain, she frantically raised her hand to touch the glass door, trying to open it.

However, the worsening blur in her eyes was all reminding her that her consciousness was rapidly being stolen away by the desire of her heat period. She was about to lose control!

“No, no, no, I can’t…”

Yu You tightly gripped the shawl that kept sliding down. Her heart was filled with both fear and embarrassment. She could not lose control in front of Zhou Muxian again. It was too humiliating.

“Mmm~”

However, the moment she opened her mouth, she could not stop a moan from slipping out. Hearing her own extremely seductive voice while still retaining her last thread of reason, her face, heart, organs, and limbs burned even hotter.

The faint daisy fragrance spread through the air, tightly enveloping Zhou Muxian, who stood five steps away.

At this moment, Zhou Muxian was busy holding her breath, trying to escape this faint daisy scent that was clearly delicate yet extremely tempting. Each time she relaxed her guard and prepared to take a deep breath, that daisy fragrance drifted into her nose again and burrowed into her usually calm mind.

The image of Yu You collapsing beside the staircase yesterday, the reddened skin beneath her torn-open neckline, and the sight of tears bursting all over her face like a broken string of pearls kept flashing back through her mind.

Clearly, at this moment, aside from making uncomfortable muffled sounds, Yu You had not said another word. Yet Zhou Muxian seemed to hear a helpless voice lingering beside her ear—

“Help me, help me, help me.”

No matter what, she could not scatter it.

Zhou Muxian furrowed her brows and looked at Yu You, who had fallen outside the glass door. It was this one look that made her unconsciously lift her foot and walk toward Yu You.

Yu You heard the movement and raised her eyes. In her wet eyes were three shining words—help me.

Zhou Muxian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. As if burned, she shifted her gaze away. Last time had been during the day, and people had been coming and going in the residence, so Yu You would not completely suspect her.

If this time she again temporarily marked Yu You by biting the back of her neck, she definitely would not be able to escape suspicion.

Now was not the time to expose her identity as an Alpha.

Zhou Muxian held her breath, took the suppressant freshener from the pocket of her trench coat, and held it beneath Yu You’s nose.

In this world, Alphas and Omegas both had pheromones with their own unique scents. Large amounts of pheromones released by Alphas and Omegas would become an aphrodisiac that made each other lose control.

Because of that, no one was allowed to release pheromones at will on the streets.

But there were always some people with insufficient self-control. Even when they were not emotionally agitated, not in a susceptible period, and not in heat, their bodies would unconsciously leak small amounts of pheromones.

This kind of pheromone was not enough to make someone enter heat, but it would still cause discomfort or affect emotions to some degree.

The suppressant freshener served to suppress and interfere with small amounts of pheromones.

Right now, although it had no suppressive effect against the large amount of pheromones Yu You was releasing, it could slow the speed at which she completely lost consciousness, and it could also dilute the desire affecting Zhou Muxian because of the pheromones.

“I don’t need… I don’t need you to help me… You powerless… Omega…”

The instant Yu You’s consciousness returned, she stubbornly turned her face away.

Her heat period seemed to come fiercer and faster than that of an ordinary Omega. Her nose tip, cheeks, and lips had burned into a sunburnt makeup look. Her bright eyes had also burned red like a little rabbit’s, and her entire body was scorching hot.

On this cold night, holding her was like holding a hand warmer.

Zhou Muxian picked her up with one arm and pushed open the glass door with the other, rushing straight toward Yu You’s room on the second floor.

Although Yu You said with her mouth that she did not need help, her hands tightly circled around Zhou Muxian’s neck. Even after they entered the room and Zhou Muxian prepared to put her on the sofa, Yu You still showed no intention of letting go.

Being this close and smelling Yu You’s daisy pheromones was also a kind of torture for Zhou Muxian.

She could only lower her head and take a fierce breath of the suppressant freshener. Then, while holding the burning-hot person, she half-crouched in front of the bedside cabinet and kept searching for Omega-specific suppressants.

After searching for a long time, she only found empty suppressant casings that had already been used up.

Under the assault of that faint daisy fragrance, Zhou Muxian’s forehead was also covered in cold sweat from holding herself back. She lowered her head and took another fierce breath of the suppressant freshener. Suddenly, she thought—

Could it be that this little fool had spent the entire day thinking about Princess Fenxiang and had forgotten that her seven-day heat period had not yet safely passed, so she had not bought new suppressants?
