A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 8

Beneath Yu You’s tightly furrowed brows was a pair of peach blossom eyes burning with anger. But upon closer inspection, a few traces of desire could also be distinguished within that anger.

The various strange pheromone scents in the bar mixed with the strong smoky charcoal scent coming from Princess Fenxiang beside her, making Zhou Muxian somewhat uncomfortable. She had to force herself not to be affected.

Even she had to use all her strength to control herself, let alone Yu You, whose self-control was extremely poor.

Zhou Muxian shoved the person leaning on her shoulder away, letting Princess Fenxiang stumble and collapse onto the sofa. Then she stepped over Princess Fenxiang’s knees and strode straight toward Yu You, whose face was gradually growing flushed.

“Don’t be afraid. I brought suppressants.”

As Zhou Muxian spoke, she reached into her pocket for an Omega-specific suppressant. She had just picked up the syringe and moved closer to Yu You when that faint daisy fragrance quietly burrowed into her head.

It made the hand holding the needle suddenly tremble. Her steps also wavered, and she could not stand steadily. The mandrake scent of her Alpha pheromones immediately slipped out uncontrollably.

Yu You, who had already been barely holding on, smelled that mandrake scent. Her eyes lost focus in an instant, and she involuntarily leaned against Zhou Muxian’s shoulder. Her arms naturally wrapped around Zhou Muxian’s slender waist, tightening more and more by instinct.

Zhou Muxian trembled all over. Her eyes also became somewhat hazy, and she instinctively hugged the person in her arms tightly…

Until the person in her arms bit hard into her right shoulder. The slight pain immediately called back the senses she had lost. Zhou Muxian hurriedly took out two blocking patches from her pocket, sticking one on the back of her own neck and the other on the back of Yu You’s neck.

The mandrake scent, which had not leaked much to begin with, immediately disappeared from their surroundings. However, that faint daisy fragrance still lingered.

Zhou Muxian injected the Omega suppressant into the gland at the back of Yu You’s neck. Perhaps because the suppressant had been administered in time this time, the person leaning on her shoulder seemed to have only dozed off for a moment before suddenly coming back to her senses.

She abruptly straightened up. Before Zhou Muxian could even open her mouth to explain, Yu You raised her hand and gave Zhou Muxian a crisp slap across the face.

I helped you control your heat, and you still hit me?

Zhou Muxian felt somewhat unconvinced after being slapped. When she raised her eyes to look at Yu You, she saw a pair of watery eyes staring at her, blinking rapidly. Wrapped within nine parts anger was one part grievance that was not easy to notice.

But that one part grievance alone was enough to make someone lose their soul.

Many passing Alphas slowed their steps and looked over, planning to lend a hand when the beauty was being bullied and earn some goodwill.

Zhou Muxian only felt heat and sweat rising all over her body. Her body swayed involuntarily, and she instinctively looked away. Who could withstand being stared at so directly by Yu You’s pitiful, aggrieved gaze?

Zhou Muxian slowly closed her eyes. Feeling the mandrake pheromones in her body beginning to uncontrollably leak out again, she now felt rather grateful for Yu You’s straightforward and unpretentious personality.

If Yu You acted like a green-tea schemer at home every day, all seductive and teasing, Zhou Muxian really would not be able to withstand such temptation.

Zhou Muxian’s breathing gradually grew hurried. She could not care about anything else and took out an Alpha-specific suppressant from her pocket, injecting it into the back of her hand.

The effect was not as fast as injecting it into the gland at the back of the neck, but for Zhou Muxian, it was enough.

Her eyes finally cleared. When she focused and looked around, Yu You, who had been in front of her just now, was already nowhere to be seen. She looked all around but still did not see Yu You’s figure. She only saw Princess Fenxiang drunk and asleep on the sofa, completely motionless.

A mixed and chaotic bar like this was a very dangerous place for an Omega with no self-control.

Zhou Muxian anxiously searched ahead, weaving continuously through the crowds of drunken Alphas and Omegas, looking for that familiar figure.

“Hello, can you help me?”

Perhaps because they had drunk until they were almost unconscious, not only Omegas, but quite a few Alphas also reached out toward her for help, blocking her path.

“Sorry, excuse me.”

Zhou Muxian nodded and avoided their approaches. She searched the crowd again and again, but still could not find Yu You.

The thought of that little fool looking so easy to bully made Zhou Muxian break out in anxious sweat. She called Yu You, but no one answered.

The anger spreading through her heart instantly burned uncontrollably into her eyes. The mandrake scent broke free from beneath the blocking patch and rushed out, attracting quite a few dazed Omegas.

“Sister, you’re so beautiful.”

“Sister, can we be friends?”

Zhou Muxian was extremely angry now. She was no longer as gentle as before. While coldly refusing them, she angrily pushed aside everyone blocking the way.

She rushed into the break room and, without any explanation, used the powerful aura of an Alpha to force the boss to pull up the surveillance footage.

In the footage, Yu You, with her big wavy hair and goose-yellow sweater, stood out especially clearly in the crowd. Almost at the same time Zhou Muxian had reached into her pocket for the Alpha suppressant, Yu You had turned and left.

She walked quickly with her arms crossed over her chest, looking very angry and puffed up, as if she was about to fight someone. The people around her sensibly moved aside to clear a path.

Although she had left the chaotic bar, outside was not necessarily safe either!

Zhou Muxian rushed out of the dim bar in a panic. When she saw the bright sky outside and the sun hanging high above, she laughed self-mockingly.

Was this what they called losing one’s head from too much concern?

Zhou Muxian took out her phone and glanced at the time. Eleven-thirty.

If she went now, had lunch, and then headed over, she would arrive just in time for her afternoon class.

Zhou Muxian took a deep breath of the fresh, comfortable air outside, reached out to hail a taxi, and went straight to school.

By the time she arrived at school, it was already almost one o’clock. At this hour, there were barely any people in the cafeteria. There was only a short-haired girl in a black cotton jacket sitting in the farthest corner.

The tray placed in front of her showed no sign of having been touched. Her hands covered her face, and her shoulders trembled in bursts, as if she was crying.

Zhou Muxian carried her tray and sat down nearby. While eating heartily, she did not forget to observe the girl’s condition from the corner of her eye.

A popcorn fragrance quietly spread from all around. Zhou Muxian looked up at the surrounding shops in confusion. Not a single shop sold popcorn.

Thud—

The short-haired girl who had been covering her face and crying suddenly fell from the chair. Her body curled up like a shrimp. Zhou Muxian walked over, and the popcorn fragrance became even stronger. Seeing the girl’s flushed face, she finally realized that this was her Omega pheromone.

Luckily, she carried suppressants with her.

Zhou Muxian took a suppressant from her pocket and injected it into the back of the girl’s neck without a word. Seeing that the girl’s breathing immediately became smoother, Zhou Muxian said nothing and stood up to leave.

But the girl reached out and grabbed the hem of her pants, softly saying, “Thank you. What’s your name?”

“Zhou Muxian.”

“Can you help me up?” The girl raised her eyes to look at Zhou Muxian. Her swollen, red eyes from crying looked like walnuts. Seeing that Zhou Muxian did not respond, she tremblingly withdrew her hand and said to herself, “It’s fine.”

It was not that Zhou Muxian refused to save beautiful women. She resisted any intimate contact with anyone.

But since the girl had said this, Zhou Muxian still reluctantly reached out to her. The short-haired girl’s eyes lit up as if she had seen a lifesaving straw, and she placed her hand in Zhou Muxian’s without hesitation.

“Hello, Muxian. My name is Ge Yuan.”

“Mm.”

Zhou Muxian stood up and returned to the dining table, lowering her head and continuing to eat lunch. From the corner of her eye, she saw Ge Yuan carrying her tray and sitting across from her.

“Thank you for helping me just now.”

Ge Yuan thanked her softly. Seeing that the person before her still had a cold expression, she did not dare say anything more. After placing a transparent document folder on the table, she hurriedly lowered her head and began eating the greens on her tray.

At first, Zhou Muxian thought that because Ge Yuan’s tray only had vegetables, she was dieting to lose weight, blindly following trends even though she was clearly not fat.

Only after Ge Yuan finished an entire full plate of rice did Zhou Muxian realize that she had misunderstood her. Without showing any reaction, she pushed over the untouched egg custard.

“For me?” Ge Yuan looked at Zhou Muxian in disbelief. She had not expected that this person, who looked so cold and had not even been willing to take the initiative to pull her up, would actually do something so warmhearted.

“Mm.”

Zhou Muxian responded. When she raised her eyes, she caught sight of the blank folder on the table. It was an application form for financial aid.

On the form, the name written in the father column was—Ge An.

The reason for the application was—her father had suddenly developed liver cancer and needed a large amount of money for treatment.

She was actually Ge An’s daughter.

Seeing that the folder was bulging, Zhou Muxian guessed that the documents behind it should be her father’s medical reports.

“Your father is sick?”

Zhou Muxian suddenly spoke. The expression of the person eating egg custard changed. The instant Ge Yuan lowered her head, two more streams of tears fell.

Without waiting for Ge Yuan to answer, Zhou Muxian continued, “The probability of misdiagnosis is very high nowadays. How about this? I happen to know a very skilled expert in this field. Tomorrow morning at eight, call your father along, and we’ll go do another examination.”

Ge Yuan abruptly raised her head and looked at Zhou Muxian in disbelief. How had all these good things happened to her?

She froze for a full minute before pursing her lips and answering helplessly, “O-okay. Thank… thank you.”

Since Ge An could not be persuaded, then she would start with his daughter.

Zhou Muxian nodded, opened her WeChat QR code, and handed it to her. Only after Ge Yuan added her as a friend did she stand up. “Tomorrow morning at eight, wait for me at the east gate of the school. I’ll come pick you up then.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Seeing that Zhou Muxian was about to leave, Ge Yuan hurriedly stood up, thanking her while bowing. Even after Zhou Muxian’s figure completely disappeared, she still had not quite come back to her senses.

How was she so lucky? At her most miserable moment, she had met a crush at first sight, and that crush was even going to introduce her to an expert doctor.

After afternoon class ended, Zhou Muxian rushed back to the Yu residence without stopping. In the courtyard, Yu You was sitting on the swing, swaying back and forth. She did not seem to be in a good mood.

Hearing the movement, Yu You raised her eyes. When she saw that it was Zhou Muxian, she immediately tilted her head to the side again.

Zhou Muxian took two steps toward her, then suddenly caught sight of Father Yu’s car driving over from the direction of the garage. She hurriedly changed direction and stopped the car.

After hearing that Father Yu and Mother Yu were in a hurry to attend an out-of-town meeting, she simply climbed into the car and explained everything she needed.

“This is a small matter. I’ll call Secretary Chen later and ask her to contact a doctor and arrange everything for you and your friend.” Father Yu rarely had the chance to see Zhou Muxian ask him for help, so his heart was extremely happy.

“Thank you, Dad. Just stop the car here.”

Zhou Muxian still had another urgent matter in mind. After Father Yu stopped the car, she hurriedly hailed a taxi and rushed back to the Yu residence.

Unexpectedly, the person who had been sitting on the swing in the Yu residence’s courtyard had long disappeared. The first-floor front door was completely locked.

She hurriedly took out her phone and called Yu You, only to find that she had been blocked…

It was over. This time, she really could not coax her anymore.
