A Yandere Omega Abandoned Me After Getting Pregnant - Chapter 12

Ye Xingran never expected the female lead, Wei Yunzhu, to call her at that exact moment. It gave her a real fright, and to make matters worse, she had mistaken her for the original body’s brother, Ye Siyan.

Great. Now her image in the eyes of the female lead was even more disastrous.

[Host, do you care that much about your image with the female lead?] The System asked, seeing her looking so dejected.

“No, I don’t care. Of course I don’t care. I’d love it if she thought I loathed her so she’d ignore me, but… I still don’t want to be a total delinquent in her mind.”

[Don’t worry. As soon as you officially select a candidate to woo, your fate will gradually shift. Your interactions with the main leads will naturally decrease, and everything will be fine,] the System finally said something human to comfort her.

However, Ye Xingran heard the hidden message loud and clear: the System was still nudging her to pick Wei Xuejin before more complications arose.

She felt a bit stifled. Her luck had always been rotten. Her mother nearly died giving birth to her, her father died in a car accident shortly after while working to support them, and her mother—unable to bear the grief—handed her over to her grandfather and vanished. She hadn’t seen her mother since.

But she was an optimist. Having grown up on a farm with her grandfather, she knew that natural disasters and misfortune were common. When you live off the land, complaining doesn’t change a thing. You just harvest before the rain, find better ways to pollinate, and build greenhouses before the snow. You do what you can and hope for the best.

Day after day, she learned to enjoy the process rather than just the result—even if her terrible luck remained unchanged.

She thought transmigrating might change her fortune, but no. It was just more of the same. She was almost losing her confidence. And now the System was practically demanding she choose the female lead’s aunt.

“Sorry, Wei Yunzhu. I didn’t know it was you calling.” Ye Xingran didn’t want to offend the leads, so she apologized sincerely and asked, “Was there something you needed?”

On the other end, Wei Yunzhu was stunned by the crude language Ye Xingran had used earlier. Usually, Ye Xingran put on such an act; this raw honesty was a surprise.

She didn’t dwell on it, however, and informed her that the results for the translation internship they had applied for were out. She gave her the reporting time so she could prepare.

“Oh, so that was it,” Ye Xingran nodded, having no memory of the original body applying for such a thing. She was flattered the female lead would notify her personally. “Thanks, Wei Yunzhu. I’ll buy you a milk tea next time we meet.”

“…Ye Xingran, it’s my duty as the person in charge of this internship to notify you. Don’t use this as another tactic to get close to me. Focus on your studies,” Wei Yunzhu said, her voice dripping with annoyance. Hearing Ye Xingran trying to “suck up” again, she added: “I will never like you. Just give up.”

“What a coincidence. Today, I’ve also decided that I will never like you again. And in the future, please, please don’t ever like me either. No matter how many times you confess, I won’t accept it.”

“…Crazy person,” Wei Yunzhu snapped. Even though Ye Xingran’s tone was calm and factual, Wei Yunzhu couldn’t let it go. “Right back at you! If I ever like you, I’m a dog!”

“Great. Remember that. But if you forget, it’s fine—I just recorded the call. I hope I never have to use it,” Ye Xingran said matter-of-factly.

“Don’t worry, you won’t!” Wei Yunzhu was fuming. She hung up immediately before she could lose her cool completely.

[…Host, did you piss her off on purpose?] The System was impressed.

“You’re very smart.” Ye Xingran pocketed her phone and headed for a taxi, ignoring whatever her brother wanted and focusing on her own business.

She was exhausted and didn’t want to deal with anyone else. She just wanted to go home, rest, and figure out her next steps.

She caught a taxi, but as soon as she got in, an anonymous, vicious text popped up: [Why don’t you just go die!]

Ye Xingran frowned. She immediately took a screenshot and a screen recording. Just as she finished, the message was retracted, leaving the chat box as if nothing had happened.

She wasn’t looking at a messaging app, though—she was on the direct messages of Weibo.

Before transmigrating, Ye Xingran was a rising star in the art world, earning enough with her talent to support herself and her grandfather. With nearly 2 million followers across platforms, she wasn’t about to give up her skills. She had started a new account, drawing unique four-panel comics that quickly gained a small following. Most messages were praise; she’d never received a death wish like this.

What is going on?

“System, can you tell me who sent that?” The original body had plenty of enemies, clearly. Ye Xingran had been so focused on Wei Xuejin she hadn’t bothered to untangle the original’s messy social web.

[The message was retracted too quickly to trace.]

“Useless,” Ye Xingran muttered.

[Hmph~]

Ye Xingran didn’t let it bother her too much and went home. But just as she stepped inside, the System chimed: [Biu-biu-biu! Congratulations, Host! Love Points +5!]

Ye Xingran: “…?!”

“Whose Love Points?” She thought she was hallucinating, but the panel clearly showed the number had jumped from 0 to 5.

[Oh please, whose could they be? They’re from the Auntie!] The System was energized. [Go for it! Choose the Auntie!]

Ye Xingran: “…How about you inhabit my body and choose her yourself?”

[Heehee, don’t be like that~]

Ye Xingran ignored it and went upstairs to shower. But as soon as she stepped into the bathroom, the System chimed again: [Biu-biu-biu! Congratulations, Host! Love Points +10!]

Ye Xingran: “…”

“Scum System, are you broken?”

She couldn’t believe it. How could she get 10 more points in minutes? She had been away from Wei Xuejin for over an hour with zero contact. She suspected the System was lying to push her toward the Auntie route. Besides, did a person like Wei Xuejin even understand love?

[Host, if you don’t want them, I can gift them to a host in another dimension~]

Ye Xingran: “…” So it’s real…

“But I haven’t spoken to her. How is this possible?”

[Host, is it so strange for a high-tech system to have a slight broadcast lag?]

Ye Xingran: “…” So your functions are outdated and you’re proud of it? “But I haven’t even bound her as a target.”

[Our system is very intelligent! Even if you aren’t bound, if a candidate on the list develops feelings for you, it converts to Love Points once it reaches a certain threshold~ (blushes)]

“So you’re saying even if I don’t try, I can get points to survive just by her happening to like something I do or say?”

[Bingo! You’re so smart! (starry eyes)]

“…Wipe that fake look off your face.”

It made sense, even if it felt like the System was playing a game of “something for nothing.” If it helped her live, why not?

“If the female lead likes me, will I get points too?”

[Biu-biu-biu! Congratulations, Host! Love Points from Wei Yunzhu +0.2!]

The System chimed immediately. Ye Xingran stared. …0.2? That’s so stingy. If it’s less than 0.5, don’t even bother reporting it. It’s embarrassing.

[Hehe, Host, you’re irresistible! 0.2 points already from the female lead!]

Ye Xingran: “…”

She went to shower, but as soon as she turned the water on, her head exploded with a series of chimes:

[Biu-biu-biu! Wei Xuejin Love Points +1!]

[Biu-biu-biu! Wei Xuejin Love Points +1!]

[Biu-biu-biu! Wei Xuejin Love Points +1!]

…

She finished her shower to a cacophony of “Biu-biu-biu,” feeling dazed.

“System, can’t you just aggregate them?!”

[What do you mean?]

“I mean add them up and tell me the total! My head is spinning!” She’d heard it over 20 times in 20 minutes.

[No can do, Host! This is the expression of the target’s love! Every item must be listed!]

Ye Xingran gave up and went to draw. Her Weibo had gained 100 more followers. She drew until 11:00 PM and went to bed.

It was a nightmare. All night, she dreamed of an expressionless Wei Xuejin chasing her with a heart-shaped sign, whispering “Love Points +1” in her ear.

She woke up with her heart racing and her face flushed. Am I sick? Wei Xuejin’s clean, icy face—blushing and staring at her—refused to leave her mind.

“Shit,” she cursed under her breath.

The lingering effects of the dream were so strong that when she arrived at the internship meeting the next morning and saw Wei Xuejin standing nearby, her temper flared. She assumed the woman was stalking her.

She marched up to her and hissed through grit teeth: “I’m warning you! Stop following me! You total stalker!”

Wei Xuejin, who had just arrived at the office building she owned for a regular workday: ?
