A Yandere Omega Abandoned Me After Getting Pregnant - Chapter 23.1

At the moment she first received Wei Yunzhu’s confession message, Ye Xingran thought for a split second that she had misread the sender or was suffering from some sort of hallucination. Otherwise, how could she be seeing a message from the female lead, Wei Yunzhu, who was supposed to loathe her according to the book?

Had she misread it?

“System, I’m not blind, and I didn’t misread it, right? I’m not hallucinating, am I? Besides, I slept well and feel quite energetic now, so it shouldn’t be a delusion or something?” Ye Xingran asked, feeling extremely uncertain.

[No way! The female lead really sent you a message and gave you Love Points~ Host, you’re incredible! You truly have the potential to be a fish pond owner~]

“So, what exactly are you implying?”

[Then take advantage of this momentum and start your voyage into the sea of stars! Pursuing a few more targets would be beneficial for you!]

[Since you’ve already successfully conquered one, you’ve got the hang of it. Now you can move on to the next, then another… and another…]

“And then the entire forest becomes mine, right?” Ye Xingran interrupted suddenly, seeing how excited it was getting.

[Exactly, Host! You are so smart! I knew I didn’t choose the wrong person!]

“Heh, aren’t you afraid that if I raise too many fish, the boat will capsize?” She wasn’t a “Sea King” (player).

Besides, one Wei Xuejin was already enough for her to handle. To add another… and Wei Xuejin’s niece at that? Was she worried she wasn’t dying fast enough?

[No fear! You are the host I picked after careful consideration. Although you’re a bit young, your style is a bit avant-garde, and you’re a bit timid… among that pile of dead people back then, your conditions were the best. It was you or nobody!]

Ye Xingran: “…” So this was “careful consideration”? It was clearly just picking the tallest sprout from a pile of stunted crops.

“I refuse.” She wasn’t interested.

As Ye Xingran bickered with it, she threw back the covers and got out of bed. She knew her own capabilities. Before transmigrating, she and her grandfather relied on each other, often living in small mountain villages. Later, wanting to give her a better life and education, her grandfather spent all his savings to buy a house in the city so she could attend school and draw. Although she didn’t particularly enjoy that lifestyle, she had worked hard to fit in.

In terms of personality, she wasn’t very extroverted; in fact, she was often a shut-in, capable of staying in one place all day without saying a word.

Asking a “salted fish” like her to manage a fish pond? Better to just kill her!

Furthermore, when was she ever “successful” in conquering one? Had the Auntie said they were officially together?

And besides, she didn’t want to date. She felt she wasn’t suited for liking someone.

She refused. If it weren’t for the sake of staying alive, she would likely just mind her own business rather than going around causing trouble for others.

Meeting her was already bad enough luck for Wei Xuejin. To conquer others on top of that… wouldn’t that be cutting their lives short?

Ye Xingran had no confidence in herself whatsoever.

[Host, you clearly have the ability, so why can’t you put it to good use?] Although it couldn’t be picky when choosing a host, Ye Xingran’s soul… was truly different from others. It had chosen her at first sight.

Now, after spending some time together, it roughly understood what made Ye Xingran unique.

At the very least, spending time with her was truly comfortable. Moreover, she was clearly a powerful “boss” who remained humble and low-profile, which was no easy feat.

Not to mention… she was so young; the System felt her future was limitless.

And besides, wouldn’t more targets be better? She could live longer! It was all for her own good.

“You are a romance conquest system, not a ‘romance-brain’ system. Wake up.” Ye Xingran didn’t know what else to say to it.

[Ying~ So unromantic~]

By now, Ye Xingran had opened the ward door and stepped out. At that exact moment, she was still so shaken by Wei Yunzhu’s terrifying message that she wasn’t looking where she was going, nearly bumping into someone and triggering a “crematorium” (jealous confrontation) scene!

“…‘Let’s be together’? Who wants to be with you?” Wei Xuejin caught her phone and saw the message on the screen with perfect clarity. She asked the question with feigned confusion, her tone still calm, yet it sent a chill down Ye Xingran’s spine.

“Aunt… Morning… Sleep… Well?” Ye Xingran tried to control her emotions while forcing her raspy, damaged voice to speak to Wei Xuejin, attempting to dodge the disaster.

Inside, she was wailing: Why did the Auntie happen to catch the phone right as that message was on the screen?!

Furthermore, Ye Xingran couldn’t explain the situation at all because she hadn’t figured out what was going on herself. Why would the female lead suddenly confess to her?

Unable to answer, she clumsily tried to change the subject.

“Morning. I slept surprisingly well,” Wei Xuejin replied, seemingly understanding her words perfectly.

[Ye Xingran, are you so happy that you forgot to reply?] On the other side, the female lead, Wei Yunzhu, probably noticed the long delay and couldn’t resist sending another message.

Well, this was great. The phone was still in Wei Xuejin’s hand, and this message was seen as well. The attempt to change the subject failed.

Ye Xingran: “…”

Total silence…

The ellipses in her mind were probably as long as the Great Wall. She was frantic, her first instinct being to get the phone back from Wei Xuejin before speaking further.

“Do you need me to help you reply?” Wei Xuejin looked at Wei Yunzhu’s message, feeling somewhat curious as to why Ye Xingran wasn’t responding. She asked as if she wanted to know the girl’s answer.

“Also, does your throat hurt very much?” Wei Xuejin looked at the bandages wrapped around her neck. Although there was no blood seeping through, she could smell the ointment. Recalling the scene of her being strangled last night, her heart tightened painfully.

A trace of hidden violence surged in her mind.

Ye Xingran: QVQ~

Even the fluffy creature on her shoulder spun around nearly a hundred times in a panic before sitting on the floor and wailing. It looked incredibly pitiful.

“…Shouldn’t one be happy to receive a confession?” Although Wei Xuejin felt a bit stifled—whether it was an after-effect of being temporarily marked by Ye Xingran or something else—she didn’t want to see those messages.

However, seeing the girl so troubled, she judged based on her own common sense. She truly couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t be happy. Wouldn’t getting a confession while injured usually make someone feel even better?

No one ever confessed to her, but she imagined the feeling must be similar to eating candy.

“Aunt… I… don’t…” Ye Xingran was truly about to cry from anxiety. Speaking made her throat sting sharply; it was agonizing.

“Don’t speak if you can’t. Does your throat hurt that much?” As Wei Xuejin spoke, she reached out to touch the bandaged neck, her brow slightly furrowed in intense focus… to an outsider, that expression didn’t look like concern, but rather like she was contemplating how to quietly kill her.

Ye Xingran: “…” Help, I’m even more scared now! QVQ~ I really have nothing to do with the female lead! Someone explain this to me!

“President Wei, your check-up time is here. Shall we go for the exam first?”

Just then, Gu Yun appeared. Wei Xuejin’s reason returned, and she slowly withdrew her hand, stuffing the phone back into Ye Xingran’s palm. She gave a small nod: “Let’s go.”

Then, she ignored Ye Xingran entirely.

“…” Great, she’s definitely angry now, waah.

Ye Xingran gripped her slightly deformed phone and only regained her senses after Wei Xuejin had walked away. She felt as if her neck were still being slowly tightened by Wei Xuejin, creating a sense of suffocation. She swallowed painfully and looked at the screen, continuing the conversation with the female lead: [Why would you suddenly ask me to be your partner?]

They clearly loathed the original host. She had to get to the bottom of this today! Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Auntie, and next time, the “greeting” to her neck might not be so gentle.

As Ye Xingran messaged the female lead, she recalled the memories of the original host’s “harassment.” To be honest, it wasn’t really harassment; at most, it was just annoying.

The original host was the same age as her, twenty. A twenty-year-old Alpha who was constantly ignored at home was truly starved for affection. Just because Wei Yunzhu had shown her a bit of concern once, she wanted to treat her well.

To say she was deeply, deeply in love was an exaggeration.

It was only because of the character’s setting and the author’s need to drive the plot that she did so many things. In essence, the original host wasn’t bad, and before Ye Xingran transmigrated, she hadn’t had the chance to do anything truly harmful to the female lead.

However, after all this analysis, none of it seemed like a reason for Wei Yunzhu to like her.

The favorability before had increased in increments of 0.1 or 0.2. Although it had seemingly skyrocketed a hundredfold between last night and today, that only amounted to a few Love Points.

It couldn’t truly be called “liking” her, right?

Wei Yunzhu: [Wasn’t it you who wanted me to be your partner? Now that I’ve agreed, you’re questioning me?]

Ye Xingran: “…” She had to admit, the female lead truly had the potential for her role—unique and logically sound in her own way.

Ye Xingran gradually calmed down and thought about where the current plot stood.

[Host, the current plot is that the female lead hasn’t encountered that ‘bad thing’ yet. The male lead, ‘Alpha A’, is just a regular classmate to her, and they are not close at all. Their romance line hasn’t sprouted at all!]

“…So her romance line sprouted with me instead?” Ye Xingran understood the implication and spoke to the System almost without thinking.

[Hahahaha, who says a person can only have one partner in a lifetime? A few more doesn’t matter; you can always pick the most suitable one~]

“…Can’t be bothered with you.”

Ye Xingran: [Sorry, I don’t want to date right now. I just want to focus on my studies.]

Wei Yunzhu: […Ye Xingran, what kind of ‘hard to get’ game are you playing now? I already said I’d allow you to be my partner.]

Ye Xingran: [The person you should like is not me.]

After she sent that reply, Wei Yunzhu didn’t respond again. Ye Xingran breathed a sigh of relief; she felt this was far too taxing. She hoped the girl would understand and not sink into any more delusions.

She went for some check-ups and then returned to her ward to wait for the next round. During this time, she didn’t see Wei Xuejin in her room; perhaps she had more exams to do. She hoped the woman’s body was okay, otherwise, the guilt would be real.

Ye Xingran returned to her ward, heavy-hearted. After resting for a bit, she got up to wash up, intending to do some sketches to practice her hand. Before she could start, there was a knock at the door.

Speaking was still difficult, so she just went to the door with her toothbrush. Some white foam lingered on her lips, making her pink hair look even cuter. She thought it was a doctor or nurse for rounds, or someone from Wei Xuejin’s side looking for her. She never expected to see Wei Yunzhu standing there, along with… the original host’s best friend, Yu Zhiyan. It gave her a real fright.

Yu Zhiyan was looking at her with an extremely suggestive gaze, which immediately gave Ye Xingran a headache.

Yu Zhiyan was also an Alpha and a high school classmate of the original host. They knew everything about each other, which meant she knew all about the original’s “crush” on Wei Yunzhu. She even knew exactly when the original host first started paying attention to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be looking at her with such a subtle, “watching a good show” expression.

Ye Xingran: …

Holding the toothbrush, she didn’t know whether to keep brushing or not. It was a massive headache.

“Just woke up?” Yu Zhiyan made herself at home, entering the room with Wei Yunzhu. Seeing her friend in such a state, she asked.

Ye Xingran couldn’t speak, her throat still stinging badly. She just shook her head and gestured for them to sit down, indicating she would be out in a moment.

Wei Yunzhu looked a bit despondent, perhaps because of the rejection. She didn’t look in her direction, and even the fruit basket in her hand seemed out of place.

Ye Xingran felt truly awkward this time.

“Help! System! Why did the female lead come with Yu Zhiyan?!” Ye Xingran couldn’t help but ask in her mind after entering the bathroom.

[Host, it’s because what you did last night was just too sensational. Wei Yunzhu still thinks you like her, and since she confessed this morning, it’s only natural for her to come check on you. Isn’t that human nature?]

[Furthermore, Yu Zhiyan has always been close to the original host. Knowing you were in trouble, how could she not come? She ran into Wei Yunzhu, who was about to leave downstairs, and brought her up.]

[What a good bestie~ (sigh)]

Ye Xingran: … Wake up! I’m not the original host!

Ye Xingran eventually finished brushing her teeth and stepped out. She saw Yu Zhiyan chatting easily with Wei Yunzhu. She wasn’t sure what they were saying, but Wei Yunzhu was laughing—a soft, lovely laugh. She quickly noticed Ye Xingran coming out and looked at her; the smile on her face vanished, replaced by an unhappy look.

Ye Xingran: …

“Have you had breakfast? Why are you wrapped up so tightly? Are your neck and hands injured?” Yu Zhiyan was clearly very talkative. Seeing Ye Xingran, she frowned and teased: “Why are you so weak?”

Ye Xingran: “…” She wasn’t going to argue with her while being a patient.

“What? Injured so badly you can’t even talk?”

Ye Xingran could only nod and took a notepad to write: [Yes.]

“Tsk, tragic.” Her tone was full of schadenfreude.

Ye Xingran: “…”

Wei Yunzhu stood by, silent the whole time, seemingly lost in thought. Ye Xingran took the breakfast Yu Zhiyan had prepared and started eating on her own. She was indeed hungry, and for some reason, she inexplicably missed… the scent of Wei Xuejin’s pheromones.

She wondered how Wei Xuejin was doing, if the exams were finished, if her gland was okay… if the prohibited drug had been neutralized… she was strangely worried.

Thinking about it, she suddenly didn’t want to eat the breakfast anymore. She felt she should go check on Wei Xuejin instead.

“Ye Xingran, wait a bit. The doctor said earlier that you have another round of tests; it’s best not to eat.” Wei Yunzhu suddenly spoke up, her tone still cold and unhappy.

Ye Xingran nodded and wrote: [Okay, thanks for the reminder.]

Ye Xingran’s handwriting was different from the original host’s. Before transmigrating, her grandfather had been accomplished in calligraphy and made some money from it. Ye Xingran had practiced with him, which was how she fell in love with drawing. Even simple characters were written with an elegant, flowing strength that was quite distinctive.

Wei Yunzhu had never really seen her handwriting before. Seeing it now, she somehow liked it even more.

[Biu-biu-biu! Congratulations, Host! Wei Yunzhu Love Points +2!]

Ye Xingran: ??? Help! Stop liking me!

[Host, just give up the struggle!]
