After the Scumbag Alpha Tries to Save the Love-Struck and Flips Over (Quick Transmigration GL) - Chapter 60

After Lu Yan completed her psychological consultation, she didn’t have any dreams related to Shen Su for several days. She assumed those dreams truly were just a product of her being too anxious.

Lu Yan probably could never have guessed that the problem actually lay with a tabby cat.

Before Lu Yan went to her consultation, Shen Su had discussed with her about sending Mao Mao to her parents’ house to be raised for a few days. After all, they had been craving to do so for a long time, and since they had been so swamped lately, always hiring someone else to feed the cat didn’t leave them entirely at peace.

On the day of the engagement banquet, the parking lots near the hotel in the capital were almost completely full. The entire city knew that the S-rank Alpha of the Shen family was getting engaged.

Many people couldn’t believe it—

“How could she marry an entirely ordinary C-rank Omega?”

Shen Su naturally wouldn’t let these unpleasant comments reach Lu Yan’s ears, so she arranged for “paid internet trolls” (shui jun).

Troll: “That Miss Lu isn’t ordinary at all. At such a young age, she’s already a project leader at CY!”

“I heard that Omega had some sort of entanglement with the one from the Sheng family who’s stepping on a sewing machine (in prison)?”

Troll: “That toad on the sewing machine wanted to eat swan meat!”

“I’ve never heard of an Omega appearing by Miss Shen’s side before. This Lu Yan must have incredible methods!”

Troll: “Actually, it was Shen Su who pursued her.”

When the director heard these words from the “trolls,” she was a bit surprised, but the gaze she directed toward Shen Su softened considerably.

Shen Su was extremely satisfied looking at the respectful gazes the guests below the stage directed toward Lu Yan. This was exactly the effect she wanted.

Even though it was just an engagement banquet, the specifications were no less grand than a wedding. When Lu Yan saw Shen Su drop to one knee and pull out a diamond ring, tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.

“Lu Yan, are you willing to become Shen Su’s partner?”

“I am.”

Shen Su carefully placed the ring onto Lu Yan’s finger, and then the two shared a shallow kiss under countless gazes. Lu Yan thought to herself that if this was a dream, she hoped she would never wake up.

After the engagement banquet ended, both had drunk a bit of alcohol and were driven back to the apartment by a chauffeur. Once they stepped inside, they felt like something was missing.

Lu Yan was a bit tipsy. “Where’s the kitten? Why didn’t she come out to greet us?”

Shen Su scooped Lu Yan up in her arms, pressing against her neck. “The cat is with my parents. Tonight, we can enjoy ourselves fully without anyone disturbing us.”

Lu Yan let out a soft huff, her voice sounding exactly like a little kitten—sticky and clingy. They fooled around on the sofa for a while until they broke into a sweat, and only then did Shen Su carry Lu Yan to the bathroom to wash up.

As the hot water from the showerhead continued to stream down, the warm air gradually spread with the rising steam, and the temperature in the bathroom climbed higher and higher.

“The water is a bit hot…”

Shen Su freed one hand to turn down the showerhead. “How about now?”

Lu Yan gave a muffled response, glancing at the mirror. “Now is just right.” She released her hold around Shen Su’s neck, turned around, and flipped her soaked, long hair to the front, completely exposing her gland to Shen Su’s view. “Now, you can mark me without any reservations.”

Shen Su’s mouth parted slightly, her gaze locking onto it, but she still held herself back. She couldn’t find a reason. Originally, she had planned to fake her death on the day of the engagement banquet. But later, because she had invited the director, she thought she should give Lu Yan a complete engagement banquet.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Shen Su hesitate, Lu Yan looked confused.

Shen Su’s mind raced at lightning speed, figuring out how to dispel Lu Yan’s suspicions. Thus, she spoke up: “About the marking, I want to wait until after we are married.”

Lu Yan turned her head, her brow furrowed tightly. “But you said last time that after the engagement… Sugar, you couldn’t possibly have some sort of issue, right?”

Being questioned about her performance sent a rush of hot blood to Shen Su’s head, but realizing it was a provocation tactic, she steadied her breath. “I went to the hospital recently, and the doctor said my pheromones are a bit disorganized. They told me not to mark an Omega anytime soon, as it might affect them.”

“When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?” Lu Yan frowned.

Shen Su lied smoothly: “I got the report yesterday. But it’ll be fine in a few days; it’s likely a lingering aftereffect from the inducing agent before.”

“Then I’ll go to the hospital with you again when the time comes.” Lu Yan wrapped her legs around Shen Su’s waist, her arms hooking around her neck.

“Alright.” After saying that, Shen Su kissed Lu Yan again, preventing her from prying into the matter any further.

…

In the dead of night, Shen Su suffered from a rare bout of insomnia. Unable to sleep, she called out to the System.

Shen Su: Is that One Hundred Ways to Die Gift Pack reliable?

System: Extremely reliable, dear! It guarantees everyone will believe it was an accident. Would you like to pick one, host?

Shen Su figured since she had nothing better to do, she nodded. A massive amount of content instantly flooded her mind, making her heart skip a beat as she read through it. She felt even less sleepy now.

Shen Su: Remember to block the pain perception before I die!

System: Rest easy, dear!

Shen Su looked for a bit: This one about being stabbed to death by a thug on the street—where does this thug come from?

System: We will generate a thug persona! Don’t worry, this character will have a complete background; no one will suspect you hired someone to kill yourself!

Shen Su: Then let’s go with that one!

System: Does it need to happen while the Love-Struck Miss is present?

Shen Su: Yes, I still have last words to say to her.

System: Understood. It can be arranged anytime the day after tomorrow!

Shen Su nodded and closed her eyes. It took a very, very long time before she finally fell asleep.

The next day, both woke up very late—one because she was too exhausted from being trifled with, and the other because she hadn’t slept well. However, Lu Yan naturally assumed Shen Su was also exhausted from “overexertion” last night, so she personally brewed some pork rib soup.

While sipping the soup, Shen Su thought about how she could naturally ask Lu Yan out tomorrow. To the hospital? But she had made up the whole disorganized pheromones thing; the moment they went, she’d be exposed. Besides, her senior at the hospital might not necessarily help her forge a medical file.

“What are you thinking about?” Lu Yan asked when she noticed Shen Su staring blankly instead of drinking her soup.

“Nothing. Our leave happens to end tomorrow, so I was wondering how we should spend the day.” There were only two days left until the end of this world. I hope everything goes smoothly.

System: Don’t worry, dear, the success rate is very high!

Shen Su nodded thoughtfully. Lu Yan placed her hands on Shen Su’s shoulders, massaging them with just the right amount of pressure. “Shall we go see a movie? Speaking of which, we’ve never been to a movie theater together.”

“That’s true…” Shen Su had been to the cinema far too many times in the real world; many people she flirted with would ask her out to see a movie, so she had naturally overlooked this option.

Lu Yan sat down and opened her phone. “What kind of movie do you want to watch? Romance, suspense, comedy, animation—they have all of them right now.”

Shen Su thought for a moment. “An animation.”

Lu Yan scrolled for a bit and nodded. “Alright, I see this one has pretty good reviews. Shall I book the tickets?”

“Sure, book them for tomorrow.” Once the movie ended, everything would be over.

Lu Yan put her phone down and wrapped her arms around Shen Su’s neck. “Then what about today? What are we doing?”

Shen Su pondered for a moment. “Make some desserts?”

“Wonderful! It’s been so long since I made anything.” Lu Yan rubbed her hands expectantly. “I don’t see many ingredients left in the fridge. Let’s go to the supermarket first to buy some supplies, shall we?”

“Okay.” After finishing the soup Lu Yan brewed, Shen Su tidied up and accompanied her to a nearby supermarket. The two bought marshmallows, freeze-dried fruit, biscuits, milk powder, and butter. The moment they got home, they began making Nougat Crisp (Xuehua Su).

Before long, the kitchen was filled with a rich, milky aroma. They cut the finished crisps into small squares and packed them into sealed bags; it looked like enough to last a long time. As for dinner, they simply fried some dumplings. The day passed quickly like that.

That night, Shen Su suffered from insomnia once again.

System: Don’t worry, dear. This System feels that as long as you tell the Love-Struck Miss to live a good life before you die, she will definitely listen to you.

Shen Su: I know. It’s just that I’m reflecting on something—has the Love-Struck Miss truly been saved? It feels like she just struggled out of one painful pit only to jump straight into another.

System: As long as the Miss doesn’t repeat her past mistakes and sacrifice her life for love, our mission is complete.

Shen Su silently made a resolution: No dating in the next world! Without dating, she could enjoy the fun of the ambiguous phase; once she committed, she had to take responsibility, and taking responsibility brought her pressure.

System: You can decide for yourself, dear, as long as you can complete the mission!

On the final day, the two wore matching couple outfits and headed out to watch a 3D animated film. Shen Su was entirely focused on her impending death and didn’t take in a single bit of the movie.

The 1.5-hour movie finally came to an end. The two took off their 3D glasses and walked out of the theater hand-in-hand.

Just then, the System spoke up: Please get ready, host. The thug will arrive in two minutes.

Shen Su instinctively tightened her grip on Lu Yan’s hand. “Let’s just stroll around this street for a bit.”

“Sure.” Lu Yan gave a brilliant smile. “The character model for the female lead in that movie just now was so beautiful!”

“It really was quite nice.” Shen Su noticed a young woman selling flowers by the roadside. She walked over, bought a bouquet, and handed it to Lu Yan. “For you.”

The final bouquet.

The smile on Lu Yan’s face grew even brighter. However, the very next second, her smile vanished—

Blood began to flow slowly from the corner of Shen Su’s mouth. Standing behind her was a ferocious-looking man, holding a knife that had plunged straight into Shen Su’s chest.

A passerby screamed, “Murder!—”

Some called the police, some called for an ambulance, while others ran around in a panic; the scene fell into complete chaos. Yet, the epicenter of the incident seemed frozen in time.

Lu Yan’s lips trembled, unable to utter a single word. Even though Shen Su had blocked her pain perception, seeing Lu Yan’s panicked expression still made her feel a twinge of sadness.

The thug behind her seemed to snap back to reality suddenly. He released his grip on the knife and bolted. Lu Yan gave the thug a deep look, carving his face into her memory, but she didn’t give chase. She caught the swaying Shen Su, her voice shaking: “You’ll be fine, don’t close your eyes… the ambulance will be here soon.”

“It’s too late…” Shen Su shook her head, reaching out to brush her hand across Lu Yan’s cheek to wipe away the crystal tears. “Yan Yan, I’m sorry, I can’t stay with you anymore.”

“No, you won’t… you won’t…” Lu Yan repeated over and over, tears falling uncontrollably.

Shen Su wanted to kiss her one more time, but remembering the blood at the corner of her mouth, she held back. “You must live a good life. You must be happy.”

As her strength drained away inch by inch, Shen Su felt her eyelids grow increasingly heavy. Finally, her vision went black, though Lu Yan’s frantic cries still echoed in her ears.

With a long beep—, she slowly opened her eyes to find herself back in that pure black space.

【Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! Please choose whether to view the aftermath.】

Shen Su shook her head, but still asked, “What was that thug’s motive for the murder?”

【His setting was an antisocial personality. His life wasn’t going well, he was a bachelor, and seeing a deeply in-love couple on the street made malice spring from his heart. So, he went to the supermarket, bought a knife, and killed someone.】

Shen Su: …Did he die in the end?

【Rest easy—death penalty!】

Shen Su was silent for a moment. “I’m still a bit uneasy. I want to know Lu Yan’s aftermath. No need to show it to me, just summarize it briefly.”

【Understood. After her lover’s accidental death, the Love-Struck Miss strove for self-improvement, shouldering the burden of the Shen family and making the Shen family enterprises bigger and stronger! Later, she adopted a child who bore a slight resemblance to her lover. This child was very promising and helped shoulder a lot of burdens for her. Once the child was capable of taking control of the Shen Group, the Miss took her lover’s urn and traveled the world, pointing to the urn and telling everyone she met that it was her lover.】

Shen Su’s eyelid jumped. An urn? Can I see it?

The next second, an exquisite liquid-quicksand-style urn appeared before her eyes.

Shen Su: 6 (Impressive).
