After the Scumbag Alpha Tries to Save the Love-Struck and Flips Over (Quick Transmigration GL) - Chapter 23

Surprisingly, this time Shen Su really did just help her bathe.

“I didn’t expect Sister to be such a virtuous gentleman, remaining unmoved even with beauty in her lap,” Lu Yan teased. she hooked her arms around Shen Su’s neck and wrapped her legs around her waist, clinging to her like a koala to a tree.

“Then Yan Yan thinks too highly of me.” Shen Su carried her out of the bathroom, intending to head toward the bedroom.

“Wait a minute.” Lu Yan looked back at the chiffon cake sitting on the dining table. “I’m not sleepy yet. Let’s go check on the cake I made.”

“Alright.” Shen Su carefully placed her on the carpet, then brought the slippers over for Lu Yan to put on.

Lu Yan walked to the table and said with some frustration, “It’s my first time making a cake, but the result looks different from the ones online. I don’t know what went wrong; I followed the tutorial exactly…”

Shen Su looked closely and saw that the center of the cake had collapsed slightly. She reached out and turned to Lu Yan. “It looks delicious. Can I try a piece first?”

“Of course!” Lu Yan said with surprise.

Shen Su cut a small piece and tasted it. The milky aroma was rich and the flavor was decent, but it lacked the fluffiness of a chiffon cake; the texture was quite dense and heavy.

“The taste is actually quite good. Want a bite?” Shen Su smiled and handed a small piece to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took a small bite, then shook her head. “It’s not as good as the ones from the dessert shops outside.”

Shen Su took another bite and said with a smile, “The pastry chefs outside have spent years honing their skills. For your first try, this is already very good. You can keep experimenting to see where the issue lies, and you’ll get better and better.”

Ingredients, the mixing process, and oven settings could all affect the texture.

“Okay.” Lu Yan nodded, but her pace of eating slowed down. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

Shen Su continued, “It’s perfectly normal to fail on your first cake. Online recipes vary, especially regarding oven temperatures—every oven is a bit different. When I made my first cake, I actually forgot to turn the oven on! I waited for three hours and didn’t smell anything, only to realize the power wasn’t even plugged in!”

Lu Yan burst into laughter. She stood on her toes to kiss the corner of Shen Su’s mouth, then hooked her arms around Shen Su’s neck and whispered in her ear, “There was something on your lip, Sister. I helped you wipe it off.”

“That’s called ‘acting first and asking later.'” She had finished “wiping” before even saying anything.

Lu Yan rested her head on Shen Su’s shoulder and chuckled. “Then how does Sister plan to punish me?”

“Punish you by… making sure you get a good night’s sleep tonight.” As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Su scooped Lu Yan up by the waist.

Lu Yan was carried to the bed with a face full of anticipation, but to her surprise, Shen Su only gave her a couple of kisses and did nothing else.

Lu Yan turned over and hugged Shen Su’s waist. “Sister, is something on your mind today?”

“No.” Shen Su instinctively touched her scent gland. Once she went abroad, she would have to ask Dr. Zhou to help her surgically remove it.

System: Host! What are you talking about?!

Shen Su: Can’t you hear what’s happening? I plan to remove the gland when the time is right.

System: …You’re a ruthless one.

Shen Su didn’t want Lu Yan to live in endless agony after she left this world. Since she couldn’t stay, she would at least leave her pheromones behind.

Lu Yan took Shen Su’s hand and pressed a soft kiss on it. “Sister, don’t hide things from me. I’m already capable of standing on my own; I just haven’t graduated yet.”

“I’m not hiding anything,” Shen Su gave a smile, tenderly stroking Lu Yan’s cheek before quickly changing the subject. “I was just wondering what Li Wei’s sister should do. Like you, she has Single Pheromone Dependency Syndrome.”

Lu Yan pouted. “You’re actually thinking about someone else while you have me in your arms!”

System: Bringing up the one thing you shouldn’t~

Shen Su quickly explained, “I wasn’t ‘thinking’ about her like that. I only thought of Li Wen because of your condition.”

Lu Yan hummed in response, pressed her ear against Shen Su’s chest to listen to her heartbeat, and said word for word, “Sister, I’ve already made up my mind.”

“Hmm? About what?” Shen Su asked softly.

“I won’t be able to live without you for the rest of my life.” If Shen Su dies, she will go with her. Lu Yan did not say the second part out loud.

Shen Su paused, then hugged Lu Yan tightly, comforting her. “In this world, everyone is an individual. No one is unable to live without another. Yan Yan, if one day I am no longer here, you must…”

Lu Yan reached out to cover Shen Su’s mouth and bared her teeth. “Don’t you dare say it!”

Shen Su moved Lu Yan’s hand away, still determined to say the words: “I’m saying if. If I am gone, you must live on well.”

Lu Yan didn’t agree; she only hugged her tighter.

“Goodnight.” Shen Su stopped pushing the issue. Some things can’t be achieved overnight, and she still had some time.

Shen Su and Lu Yan’s wedding was set for mid-May.

Aside from a few classmates and friends they invited, the rest of the guests were arranged by Mr. Shen and Ms. Wen. They were all relatives and friends; there were no messy reporters or outsiders.

Except for the Lu couple, everyone present was laughing and chatting.

“I told you, we shouldn’t have left the wedding entirely to those two,” Lu Father whispered to his wife, looking impatient.

Lu Mother nodded. “Exactly. Look, they only invited these few people. It’s like the wedding was for nothing.”

Originally, the two of them wanted to use the Shen family’s connections to pull in collaborations and talk business. Unexpectedly, aside from the benefits they reaped during the initial meeting between parents, they hadn’t touched a bit of “oil.”

Not far away, the Shen couple walked over with wine glasses. The Lu couple immediately put on smiles and raised their glasses, all their dissatisfaction hidden behind the wine, eventually swallowed into their stomachs.

On stage, the two brides, dressed in pure white wedding gowns, exchanged rings. Then, amidst the cheers, they lifted each other’s veils. Their intimate gazes met in the air.

Shen Su saw the overflowing love in Lu Yan’s eyes. Her heart rate spiked, and joy mingled with guilt in her chest—it was a complex cocktail of emotions.

Seeing Shen Su dazed, Lu Yan thought it was because she looked so beautiful today, so she proactively hugged Shen Su and kissed her.

The friends below began to cheer and hoot.

Amidst the cheers, Lu Yan released Shen Su and whispered in her ear, “I love you so much, Sister.”

“I love you too.” Shen Su smiled and took Lu Yan’s hand as they headed toward the dressing room.

They changed into slightly lighter toast-making dresses. After a round of greeting guests, Shen Su’s face was almost stiff from smiling, but Lu Yan seemed tireless; as the event neared its end, her steps were still light.

The day’s busyness finally ended, and they went to their new marital home.

Both had been drinking. Ms. Wen left after dropping them off, leaving only the two of them with flushed cheeks in the house.

“Sister, your face is so red.” Lu Yan giggled sillily. At this moment, she was pinned to the sofa by Shen Su.

She reached out and pressed her palm against Shen Su’s cheek. “Wow! So hot! It turns out Sister’s alcohol tolerance is about the same as mine…”
