A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 6

The original Zhou Muxian was also an Omega, so there were naturally some Omega-specific suppressants in her room…

However, the person in her arms was currently death-gripping Zhou Muxian and refusing to let go, burying her face into Zhou Muxian’s chest. That scalding breath, saturated with the scent of daisies, was steadily eroding Zhou Muxian’s willpower, leaving her paralyzed.

“It hurts…”

The person in her arms had completely lost consciousness, surrendering to the primal instincts of heat. She dizzily lifted her head, her flushed lips brushing a soft kiss against Zhou Muxian’s chin.

Such a stubborn mouth, yet the touch was so incredibly soft.

“You… you smell so good…”

Yu You’s eyelashes trembled violently as she rubbed against Zhou Muxian’s skin. Zhou Muxian instinctively squeezed her eyes shut, taking a sharp breath in an attempt to maintain her final shred of sanity.

A warm nose swiped across Zhou Muxian’s own. Then came a damp sensation on her eyelid…!

Yu You had actually licked her.

Like a kitten that had tasted something sweet, she continued to lick and nuzzle.

The sensation at her eyelid sent a wave of numbness straight to her marrow. The logic in Zhou Muxian’s mind shattered. She snapped her eyes open, yanked aside Yu You’s shawl without a word, found the exact spot of the gland on the nape of her neck, and bit down hard.

“Mmm… whimper…”

Sensing the pain, the person in her arms immediately struggled and thrashed, letting out a strange yet blissful cry. Soon, Zhou Muxian felt a weight sink into her shoulder; having found relief, Yu You had once again drifted into a deep sleep.

Zhou Muxian released her neck. Looking at the alluring face of the girl sleeping soundly in her arms, she instinctively bit her own lip to suppress her desire, but her heart continued to race uncontrollably.

The little dummy was finally at peace.

But Zhou Muxian’s own desire had been ignited, and there was no solution in sight.

If she looked at Yu You for one more second or breathed in the daisy scent of this room for a moment longer, Zhou Muxian couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t do something truly insane.

She hurriedly carried the girl to the bed, forced herself through heavy breaths to open the window for ventilation, and used every ounce of strength in her trembling body to return to her own room.

Unfortunately, there were no Alpha-specific suppressants here.

Fortunately, there was no scent of Yu You’s daisies here either.

Zhou Muxian rushed into the bathroom and took three consecutive cold showers before she finally washed away the heat in her body and regained her clarity.

Being without suppressants was a major taboo.

That very night, Zhou Muxian headed out to a nearby pharmacy to buy a large supply of both Alpha and Omega suppressants.

She also bought plenty of fresheners and scent-blocking patches.

Scent-blocking patches were meant to help those who couldn’t control their pheromones avoid disturbing others. As an Alpha with immense self-control, Zhou Muxian never leaked her scent, so she didn’t technically need them.

She had originally thought that with her formidable willpower, she could withstand any Omega’s pheromones.

But tonight’s events had delivered a harsh reality check.

That faint yet omnipresent daisy scent was a constant torture to her resolve.

She needed to find an opportunity to get Yu You to wear a blocking patch, so as not to compromise her own sanity again.

Despite her late-night insomnia, Zhou Muxian woke up early the next morning. She checked her schedule and saw she only had classes in the afternoon.

She wasn’t going to let the morning go to waste; she spent it analyzing the plot and the timeline.

The current point in the story was actually only a few days away from the car accident where the Yu parents would die on the spot.

The reason the Yu family’s plot moved so quickly in the original book was that the main protagonists were Chengcheng and Zizi—the two “flowers” of the entertainment industry.

Zhou Muxian and Yu You were, at best, fleeting cannon fodder.

Zhou Muxian munched on a deep-fried dough stick, planning to start with the “hit-and-run driver” as a breakthrough point to overturn the plot.

Thump, thump, thump—

From above came the dull sound of bare feet hitting the wooden stairs. She knew immediately that a certain little dummy was rushing down to ask about last night.

Sure enough, Yu You appeared in her pajamas from the night before, her wavy hair a mess. She looked warm and soft; without the sharp glamour of her makeup, she appeared much more gentle.

The hurried footsteps slowed abruptly at the final step. The hesitant, slow pace revealed exactly how conflicted she was.

Zhou Muxian put down her food and looked back. Meeting Yu You’s clear yet “foolish” fawn-like eyes, she couldn’t help but laugh, asking knowingly, “What’s wrong, Sister?”

Yu You took two cautious steps forward, testing the waters: “Last night… I went into heat. Did… did you give me a temporary mark?”

“Me? I’m an Omega. How could I mark you?” Zhou Muxian suppressed a grin and took another bite of her dough stick.

“As long as it wasn’t you. I thought you’d had some kind of genetic mutation!”

Pricked by the smile on Zhou Muxian’s face, Yu You snapped back defensively, though her hand instinctively went to the back of her neck. If it wasn’t her, then who? Who broke into my room in the middle of the night and marked me?

With Yu You’s limited brainpower, she’d likely never figure it out. She might even think a pervert had broken in, call the police, check the security cameras, and drag the hidden Alpha out into the light.

Zhou Muxian gave a light cough. Luckily, she had taken “remedial measures” before sleeping. She explained with feigned confidence: “I have suppressants in my room. I gave you an injection near the gland on your neck.”

No wonder I couldn’t find needle marks on my arms; it was in the neck.

Yu You hurried to grab a mirror, struggling to inspect her nape. She did indeed see a tiny puncture mark. However, next to it, the tooth marks left on the gland seemed even deeper.

It really felt like she’d been bitten again last night. In her blurry memories, there truly seemed to be someone who had bitten her quite hard—it had actually hurt.

Yu You was still suspicious, looking at Zhou Muxian dubiously: “Did you bring an outsider home and hide them in your room?”

“Am I crazy? What would I gain from that?”

Zhou Muxian threw her hands up, finding Yu You’s imagination utterly ridiculous.

Yu You sighed in defeat and sat down at the table, muttering to herself, “Then why are the bite marks on my neck even worse?”

“It wasn’t treated properly before, and you went into heat again yesterday. It’s probably inflamed,” Zhou Muxian replied casually while scrolling through her phone.

Yu You shook her head, trying to remember what the person who bit her looked like. She really hadn’t seen a face…

Could it be that after the heat started, I just had an erotic dream?

After all, the person by her side last night was the Omega Zhou Muxian, and a suppressor really had been injected. It was impossible that Zhou Muxian was hiding an Alpha just to let them out for a quick bite whenever Yu You went into heat, right?

As Zhou Muxian said—what would be the point? It made no sense.

Yu You scratched her head, thinking of the Alpha who had marked her the first time. That memory had to be real… who on earth was that person?

“I noticed the tooth marks yesterday. Who bit you? I remember that day you said you didn’t need my help, so I left feeling quite sad. Now it seems the one hiding an Alpha at home is actually you, Sister.”

As Zhou Muxian tested her, Yu You suddenly became flustered. Her hand holding the chopsticks trembled, fearing the news would reach her parents. She began to stammer.

“Ugh… the… the house has been doing landscaping lately, hasn’t it? There… there’s a girl I know who is an Alpha. She… she was passing by and kindly helped me. We… we’re just friends…”

Seeing the amused look in Zhou Muxian’s eyes, Yu You’s face turned several shades of green. She let out a huff and turned to leave. “What’s it to you? Mind your own business!”

Zhou Muxian felt the blocking patches in her pocket and gave up on the idea of convincing Yu You to wear one today.

Just as she was about to finish her breakfast, her neck was suddenly hooked by Yu You, who had doubled back. That faint daisy scent filled her nose once more.

“I’m warning you! If you dare say a word, you’re dead!” Yu You’s threat was right in her ear, though it carried zero actual weight.

Still, Zhou Muxian played along, acting frightened: “Sister is so scary. I’m terrified. My lips are sealed; I won’t say a word.”

“Good that you know to be afraid, otherwise I’d show you what I’m capable of.”

Tap, tap, tap—

Yu You dropped the threat and ran back upstairs barefoot, leaving Zhou Muxian alone at the table.

The daisy scent… is indeed quite capable…

Even someone as disciplined as me almost couldn’t resist it.

Zhou Muxian smiled helplessly, wiped her hands, and headed straight for the “nest” of the Incense-Burning Princess—

Chengming Film and Media Group.

She remembered clearly: the driver who caused the accident was a security guard at the group’s entrance. He was usually an honest, hardworking man. After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, he figured his life was over anyway. He decided it would be better to die after making a fortune for his family.

Without hesitation, he took the Princess’s money and staked out the Yu house for days. Finally, on a rainy night, he found his chance, driving a fuel tanker and slamming into the Yu parents’ car.

He was the key to the accident—and the key to changing the plot.

Zhou Muxian didn’t think it would be that hard to change his mind. Even if he had already taken the money, as long as the accident hadn’t happened yet, there was still time.

She spotted him in the crowd almost instantly.

A man of about 150 pounds, but with a belly so round he looked pregnant. His skin was sallow—dozens of shades yellower than a normal complexion. It was hard not to notice him.

“Mr. Ge, hello.”

The sudden, respectful greeting from a stranger surprised Ge An. He knit his brows, trying to remember if he knew her. “You are…?”

“I’m a friend of your daughter’s. I heard from her that you’re suffering from a very difficult case of acute liver failure. Aside from a transplant, there’s no better option, and as far as I know, you’ve currently given up on treatment…”

Zhou Muxian got straight to the point. Although Ge An was just a security guard, he dealt with many people every day. Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, he knew she was someone important who could solve problems.

He respectfully gestured for her to sit at a small terrace nearby.

“The cost of waiting for a liver is astronomical to you, not to mention the treatment fees. You don’t want your illness to drag down your entire family.

When I heard about this, I was deeply moved. I’ve decided to lend a hand. I’ll introduce you to the best specialists in the country and help you find a suitable liver to extend your life by decades.

All of these costs will be covered by the Yu’ai Group. You won’t have to pay a single cent.”

To an outsider, someone offering to save a stranger’s life for free sounded like a scam. Zhou Muxian had anticipated this, which is why she brought up the “Yu’ai Group,” the life’s work of the Yu parents.
