After Differentiating into an O, Pampered by an A - Chapter 2

Ye Xing pushed Shen Xiaoqian forward, her eyes secretly observing Shen Yushu.

Shen Yushu cast a brief, indifferent glance at Shen Xiaoqian, her brow furrowing slightly. “Why did you run out here?”

Her voice was soft and pleasant, with a hint of huskiness that made it inexplicably sexy.

Ye Xing felt that everything about this woman—from her looks to her voice—hit every one of her “buttons.” She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

As expected of the female lead! It’s just a pity she’s an Alpha. If she were an Omega—

“Tch, Ye Xing, what the hell are you thinking? Your own glands aren’t even safe yet!”

Ye Xing scolded herself in her mind.

“Are you Ye Xing?” Shen Yushu stood before her and asked. She gestured for the driver to pull Shen Xiaoqian aside first.

This was her first time meeting Ye Xing in person, though she had heard plenty about her from Shen Xiaoqian.

Well, she is beautiful, Shen Yushu thought, but I’m afraid she’s just an empty shell.

Perhaps due to her inappropriate thoughts just a moment ago, a guilty Ye Xing took a half-step back.

She raised her gaze and met those clear, bright eyes, but she didn’t dare look for long; that face was simply too heart-stirring.

Ye Xing took a secret deep breath. “Yes, I’m Ye Xing. Your niece was wandering around, and I was worried she’d be targeted by bad people, so I wanted her to go home quickly. Just now…”

Before Ye Xing could finish, Shen Yushu scanned the surroundings. She seemed half-convinced, her voice unreadable. “Then, thank you. I’ll take her from here.”

Ye Xing: “No… no thanks needed!”

Huh? Is the protagonist usually this polite and gentle?

Seeing her idol slipping away, Shen Xiaoqian shouted emotionally, “Auntie! I came to get Ye Xing’s autograph! I didn’t get it yet, I’m not going back!”

The young girl’s face was flushed red, her hands planted on her hips.

Shen Yushu’s expression, which had been relatively calm, darkened instantly. She signaled the driver to take the girl away. “Go back!”

With that, she turned decisively and walked back toward the bar.

Shen Xiaoqian was safely led away by the driver. Watching her leave dejectedly, Ye Xing felt a bit of pity, but a massive wave of relief washed over her.

She still hadn’t figured out many things about this world, but since she hadn’t harmed Shen Xiaoqian, was she in the clear now?

Ye Xing’s mood lightened, and she allowed herself a small smile of relief.

She pulled out her phone to find someone to pick her up—even a “flop” star is still a star. She scrolled until she found a contact named Ding Ling, labeled “Manager.”

Just as she was about to dial, Ye Xing felt a sudden surge of heat. It was as if an electric current was coursing through her body, and the glands at the back of her neck began to burn.

The physical abnormality hit her too fast.

One second, Ye Xing was standing perfectly fine; the next, her legs went weak. She leaned exhaustedly against a pillar at the bar’s entrance, her face turning so red it looked like it might bleed.

Crap, what is happening?

As the night went on, more guests were arriving outside the bar.

“Do you smell pheromones?”

“Ah, it’s an Alpha’s pheromones. It smells like milk candy… Ugh, I can’t take it.”

“Heavens, an Alpha is going into heat in public! Hey, look, doesn’t she look like that celebrity, Ye Xing?”

Hearing the passersby, Ye Xing covered her neck and cursed. Going into heat in public? Really?

In an instant, all the events of the evening flashed before her eyes.

That glass of water—

If she guessed correctly, the original host had prepared that for Shen Xiaoqian. In a moment of brain fog, she had actually…

Damn it, I have to find a way to save myself.

Ye Xing used her bag to hide her face, struggling to stand up, but her body felt like a puddle of mud. She was gasping for air.

In a few moments, her forehead was drenched in sweat.

Clearly, Ye Xing had underestimated the state of an Alpha during a “heat” cycle.

Before long, the sounds of Omegas panting nearby reached her ears. Ye Xing’s rampaging pheromones were like a poison spreading through the night.

“Something’s wrong! An Alpha outside is in heat! Call an ambulance, fast!!!”

Inside the lobby, a waiter ran in frantically.

Shen Yushu was standing in the hall, still on her phone. Hearing the noise, she stopped the waiter and asked coldly, “What happened?”

The waiter froze for two seconds, recognizing Shen Yushu, and quickly composed himself. “President Shen, there’s an Alpha in heat outside. From the looks of it… it seems to be Ye Xing.”

Shen Yushu and the bar owner, Kong Zhen, were close friends. She was here tonight by invitation for Kong Zhen’s bachelorette party.

Hearing that it was Ye Xing, Shen Yushu’s brow furrowed. Wasn’t she fine just a moment ago?

Shen Yushu held the phone, pausing for two seconds.

Her face remained calm. “Yes, I had the driver take Xiaoqian home,” she said into the phone, then hung up immediately.

She turned to see several delicate Omegas slumping to the floor. The lobby was in chaos.

“How long until the ambulance arrives? Where is Kong Zhen?”

Shen Yushu’s voice was steady and cold, possessing a power that calmed people down. Several Beta waiters followed her out.

“The manager went to get the owner. They said she got drunk and was sent back to her room.”

“…”

Shen Yushu realized she was essentially rushing to clean up her friend’s mess. If she had known, she wouldn’t have agreed to come for that “flaky” woman.

The moment Shen Yushu stepped out the door, the fragrance of fresh milk rushed into her nose. The soft, creamy sweetness stimulated her nerves.

By a nearby pillar, Ye Xing was curled into a ball, trembling and releasing a dense cloud of pheromones.

Shen Yushu’s nose twitched. She stepped forward and patted her shoulder.

“Ye Xing!”

Ye Xing looked as if she had just been fished out of a tank of water. Her hair was soaked with sweat, and she looked like a shivering, pitiful puppy.

Her body alternated between hot and cold, and her beautiful face was now an alluring shade of red.

Seeing this, Shen Yushu immediately grabbed the bag Ye Xing was using to hide her head and started rummaging through it.

“Where is your inhibitor?”

Ye Xing heard her but had no strength to answer. She tried her best to speak, but all that came out was a heavy, heaving breath.

Inhibitor? I just got here, I’ve never used that stuff—

Shen Yushu couldn’t find an inhibitor and couldn’t wait for the ambulance. If she let Ye Xing stay here, something terrible would happen.

“Open a room for me! Then find an inhibitor and bring it up!” she commanded the waiters behind her decisively.

Although Kong Zhen ran a bar, there were many suites upstairs. After all, most people who spent money here were either rich or influential.

A male waiter reacted first, nodding repeatedly before rushing into the lobby. “Who has an inhibitor?”

An Alpha who wasn’t affected by the scent finally realized what was happening and handed over their own inhibitor.

Once the inhibitor was delivered, Shen Yushu glanced at Ye Xing. A flash of impatience crossed her eyes, as if she were blaming herself for meddling in someone else’s business.

As she hesitated, another wave of even denser pheromones hit her. The Omegas in the lobby were starting to go wild again.

“Tch, what a pain!”

Pshhh—

She grabbed the inhibitor and sprayed it directly onto Ye Xing. It was a spare, so there wasn’t much left, and Shen Yushu used it up quickly.

But it was better than nothing. At the very least, the scent of pheromones weakened significantly.

Taking the opportunity, Shen Yushu quickly unbuttoned her jacket and draped it over Ye Xing’s head. She grabbed Ye Xing’s hand and wrapped an arm around her slender waist.

Ye Xing was burning with discomfort, still craving—

Her trapped desires were still slamming violently against their cage.

Perhaps the inhibitor was working. “Sister… smells so good,” Ye Xing murmured.

Because Shen Yushu’s jacket was over her head, Ye Xing’s gaze was downcast. She realized her hand was being held tightly.

Shen Yushu’s other hand was around her waist, guiding her into the elevator to keep her from falling.

At that moment, Ye Xing’s nose prickled. The protagonist really has ‘boundless love’—she’s actually helping me.

For this favor today, this cannon fodder will surely repay it tenfold in the future.

Ding—

The elevator doors opened. The waiter who had been following them suddenly received a notification over his earpiece that the police had arrived to investigate the commotion.

Hearing this, Shen Yushu turned and said decisively, “Give me the room card, you go take care of that! If the ambulance arrives, have the doctors come straight up.”

The waiter looked apologetic and started to say something, but Shen Yushu turned and headed toward the room.

Faced with the urgency, the waiter replied, “Alright, I’ll be right down.”

Shen Yushu used the room card and found the room.

Beep—

As the card touched the door, a cold drop fell onto her warm, jade-like hand. Shen Yushu’s hand froze.

Immediately after, the person under the jacket began to sob.

Shen Yushu took a deep breath, as if pushed to her absolute limit. “Ye Xing, you are a public figure after all. I only did this because I don’t want Kong Zhen’s bar to be filled with negative headlines tomorrow. You’re acting like I’m going to do something to you. We’re both Alphas—is this really necessary?”

With that, she freed a hand to push open the door.

Once inside, the jacket slipped off Ye Xing’s head. Her pink hair was now messier than straw, and her exquisite makeup was completely ruined by tears.

She looked remarkably like a female ghost.

Shen Yushu’s eyebrow twitched. This is the person Shen Xiaoqian screams about loving every day?

Ye Xing’s eyes were misty. With a delicate sob, she lost her balance and leaned into Shen Yushu.

“Sister… I didn’t want to cry… I just feel so bad… I can’t control it, you know? It’s my first time being an Alpha, I’m so sorry! Waaaaah—”

Shen Yushu: “…”

She couldn’t understand a word of Ye Xing’s nonsense. Having removed her jacket, Shen Yushu was only wearing a cool silk camisole underneath.

Instantly, a patch of warmth spread from her collarbone across her shoulder.

Ye Xing’s scorching tears brushed against Shen Yushu’s skin. It was itchy, making her breath hitch.

The next second, she pulled the girl away with a look of disdain and walked her two steps to the sofa, forcing her to sit down.

“Ye Xing, behave yourself! Stop causing trouble for everyone!”

With that, Shen Yushu went into the bathroom to deal with the tear stains Ye Xing had left on her body, while calling the front desk to ask about the situation below.

Ten minutes later, Shen Yushu finished and came out, only to find the room unnervingly quiet.

“Ye Xing!”

Shen Yushu walked toward the sofa. She saw that Ye Xing—whose short-lived inhibitor had worn off—was lying on the floor. Her dress was slightly pulled open at the chest, revealing enticing collarbones. Her chest rose and fell heavily.

Her ghost-like face was now stained with a terrifying bright red, and the room was thick with the scent of her pheromones.

Shen Yushu realized what was happening and turned to open the window, but as she moved, her ankle was caught.

“Sister… I’m so hot… Sister, save me… I don’t want to die… I don’t want to be cannon fodder!”

Ye Xing was talking nonsense again.

Unable to understand, Shen Yushu glared at Ye Xing with disdain.

How do I help? Find her an Omega?

Shen Yushu shook her head, tossing the absurd thought out of her mind.

“The ambulance will be here soon! Just endure it a bit longer, it won’t kill you.”

She moved to open the window again. Perhaps it was her low, sexy voice that triggered something in Ye Xing, but the girl on the floor suddenly exploded with energy.

With a surge of strength, Ye Xing pulled at Shen Yushu’s ankle.

“Ah—!”

With a startled cry, Shen Yushu fell onto the nearby sofa.

A blurry-eyed Ye Xing looked like a hunter who had finally found her prey.

Rising from the floor, she pinned her entire body over Shen Yushu.

“Sister… smells so good!”
