After Becoming a Scumbag Alpha, the Green Tea Omega is Reborn - Chapter 12
Lin Shen let out a cold snort and shot her a look of disdain. “Are you sick? How can you not know if you’ve marked someone or not? Haven’t you always been a clean freak? You used to complain that other Omegas smelled bad. If you hadn’t found someone like Tao Ran—high compatibility and looks that meet your standards—you’d still be a ‘virgin’ right now.”
Yu Li’s face instantly lit up with joy. She let out a few goofy laughs and excitedly grabbed Lin Shen’s hand. “Thank you, thank you so much!”
Lin Shen looked at her with a face full of question marks. “Thanking me for what?”
Yu Li didn’t say anything, simply shaking her head with an immense sense of relief.
This is wonderful. Her body was still “clean.” For the first two days after she transmigrated, she hadn’t dared to reply to many friend requests, fearing some Omega would pop up demanding she take responsibility. Luckily, the original “Scumbag A” had a cleanliness obsession; otherwise, if she had ended up with some accidental child to deal with, she really wouldn’t have known what to do.
Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on her lips. “Are you… really Yu Li?”
Yu Li’s heart skipped a beat.
“Just kidding. Sister Zhang told me that after you married Tao Ran, you changed a lot. I didn’t believe it at first,” Lin Shen shrugged, tapping her makeup brush against the edge of the case, sending a puff of powder into the air. “Thinking about it now, Sister Zhang wasn’t talking nonsense.”
“From now on, I just want to act well and take good care of Tao Ran.”
“Hearing that come out of your mouth… it’s not very believable.” Lin Shen grinned. Yu Li caught a glimpse of a blue tongue piercing shimmering on her pink tongue.
This woman is probably a scumbag Alpha too, Yu Li thought helplessly. Does the original owner not have a single normal friend?
“Alright, time for lip glaze…” Lin Shen rummaged through her backpack, her brown eyebrows knitting slightly. “Shoot, I left it in the other car. Wait here, I’ll go grab it.”
“Um, about Tao Ran…” Yu Li hesitated, awkwardly scratching her head. “Never mind, go ahead.”
She had wanted to ask which makeup artist was helping Tao Ran and what style they specialized in, but on second thought, her Tao Ran had such high visuals and could pull off any look; there was no need to meddle.
“Tao-what-Ran? You’ve got to be kidding me. You spent over twenty years playing the field before the wedding, and now you’ve fallen in love with her one week after?”
Yu Li gave a sheepish laugh.
Meanwhile, Tao Ran had finished her makeup and was sitting in her van flipping through the script. Lin Lin suddenly poked her head in, waving a bottle of juice.
“Sister Ranran, here’s your favorite peach flavor.”
“Thank you.” Tao Ran took the drink and asked casually, “What’s the situation?”
Lin Lin glanced back at Yu Li’s van. “Yu Li has been in the car doing makeup the whole time. She hasn’t gone anywhere else or done anything strange.”
“Good work.” Tao Ran gave her a gentle smile and took a small sip of the peach juice.
“Don’t worry, Sister Ranran. I’ve heard everything from Sister Liu Xia. Yu Li is no good; I’ll definitely help you escape her clutches.”
Lin Lin was the assistant Liu Xia had carefully handpicked to plant by Yu Li’s side. She was smart, sweet, and had an innocent-looking smile. Being an Omega with very faint pheromones, she was unlikely to trigger an Alpha’s desire. Such an assistant wouldn’t be fired by Yu Li and could help Tao Ran gather evidence of any cheating.
Lin Lin remembered something and puffed out her cheeks. “But just now…”
“Just now, what?”
“I eavesdropped outside the car. When she was chatting with Sister Lin Shen, she kept bringing you up. Oh, and I vaguely heard Sister Lin Shen say that Yu Li has never marked anyone else. Yu Li actually looked shocked when she heard it. Isn’t that hilarious?”
Tao Ran froze in confusion, murmuring, “What? How is that possible…”
“It’s true, I heard it with my own ears,” Lin Lin said firmly. “Lin Shen was even making fun of her. Yu Li looked like a total idiot, asking Lin Shen if it was really true. How can someone not even know how many bad things they’ve done?”
Tao Ran remained stunned for a long time, her thoughts entangling like a thousand threads. All the kindness Yu Li had shown her over the past few days flashed vividly through her mind.
Could she…
Tao Ran set down the juice bottle and said to Lin Lin, “Go back and keep an eye on Yu Li. If anything happens, message me on WeChat. Remember, don’t let her find out.”
“No problem.” Lin Lin turned to leave, but her phone vibrated in her pocket. She checked it and said to Tao Ran, “Sister Ranran, Producer Gao sent a message. The scene we’re filming today has been changed…”
“Wasn’t it the separation scene? What did they change it to?”
“It’s…”
In the other van, a staff member explained the change to Yu Li. She blurted out in surprise:
“A kiss scene?”
“Yes,” the staff member bowed. “We’re very sorry. The weather report said it would rain today, and the director thought that would be perfect for the separation scene, but as you can see, the sun is blazing. We had to swap the schedule. There aren’t many lines; please take a look at the script.”
Yu Li read through it, making a few marks, and let out a series of sighs. If it were just a simple peck on the lips, it would be fine, but this was the most lingering, emotional kiss in the story. According to the script, both leads are supposed to be deeply moved, and their hands shouldn’t be “staying still.”
This… this is so awkward. Yu Li shook her head and patted her cheeks. It’s okay. It’s just a kiss. It’s perfectly normal for actors to hug and kiss during a shoot.
Even when the crew had set up the cameras and lighting, Yu Li’s heart was still fluttering nervously. In contrast, Tao Ran was much more composed, even asking her softly before the cameras rolled:
“Honey, are you ready?”
“No problem.”
Yu Li secretly cheered herself on, but the moment the director shouted “Action!”, her heart still skipped a beat.
Tao Ran entered the character instantly, giving Yu Li a shy, coy smile. “There isn’t a single word of truth in that mouth of yours. I don’t believe you anymore.” After speaking, she gave her a bashful glare.
Yu Li gave a faint smile and took her hand. “Whether it’s true or not, why not test it?”
Yu Li held Tao Ran’s shoulders and kissed her lips gently. Just as she was about to pull away, Tao Ran’s hands suddenly climbed onto Yu Li’s shoulders, wrapping around her neck to deepen the kiss. The rich scent of white musk flooded Yu Li’s nose—soul-stirring and addictive. Tao Ran’s palms wandered across her shoulder blades and back. Yu Li didn’t dare move, holding her stiffly, terrified of being disrespectful.
However, in the next second, Tao Ran took Yu Li’s right hand and placed it on her waist. Yu Li followed the lead, wrapping her arm around Tao Ran and pressing her against a tree.
The rain from the previous night had left the soil damp, and the earthy smell diluted the white musk. Yu Li was secretly grateful for the tree and the rain, but then, Tao Ran’s hand began pressing inch by inch against the back of her neck.
Tao Ran touched a slight protrusion and pressed gently. Yu Li’s entire body shuddered, and she pulled Tao Ran into a tighter embrace.
That spot… was her gland. Tao Ran was actually touching her most sensitive, vulnerable spot in front of all these people.
Yu Li’s breathing rhythm completely fell apart. She instinctively wanted to release her and step back, but Tao Ran grabbed her shirt with one hand and secretly stepped on her foot to prevent her from leaving.
A desire so intense it was uncontrollable surged through Yu Li’s body, as if in the next second…
“Cut!” Director Wang shouted. “Absolutely perfect!”
Tao Ran immediately released Yu Li. Yu Li, unable even to muster a poker face, turned and fled the scene in front of everyone.
“What’s with her…” Director Wang frowned. Is Yu Li throwing a diva fit in front of everyone and refusing to act?
Tao Ran said with a practiced smile, “Sorry, Director Wang. She’s a bit sick to her stomach this morning. She doesn’t have any lines in the next scene, so let her rest for a bit.”
“Fine.” Director Wang turned to Producer Gao. “Go contact the extras; we’re getting ready for the next scene.”
Tao Ran stared intently at Yu Li’s departing back, her eyes hiding a deep sense of shock and suspicion.
What she had just touched was Yu Li’s gland—the most sensitive and vulnerable part of her being. With Yu Li’s innate, intense desire for control and dominance, she never allowed any Omega to touch that spot. An actor had once accidentally brushed against it during a scene and was slapped on the spot.
There was no way Yu Li could have been touched there for that long without exploding in rage. Tao Ran had been hesitant to believe it, but after that kiss, she was 100% certain: the person in front of her was not the real Yu Li.
