After The Shared Beta Was Abandoned By The Scumbag Alpha - Chapter 2

“Baiyi, I’m very happy that you’re willing to think about what’s best for me. It’s just… it’s just that I…”

“Hmm? Tell me. What is it?”

Lin Xiaogu lowered her head and said awkwardly, “It’s just that… I’m a little scared.”

Yu Baiyi laughed.

She pulled Lin Xiaogu into her arms, one hand resting against her soft waist.

“With me backing you up, what are you afraid of?” Yu Baiyi said softly. “Baby, I don’t mean anything else by it. I just think you need some experience with society. You’re a person with a complete and independent identity. I can’t keep you trapped by my side forever. That would be unfair to you. Do you understand?”

Yu Baiyi thought that after putting it that way, Lin Xiaogu surely had no reason to refuse.

Sure enough, Lin Xiaogu looked at her gratefully.

In a soft voice, she said, “All right. I agree.”

“Such a good girl.”

Yu Baiyi had known that Lin Xiaogu would listen to her.

“The border of the Sixteenth District has been rather unstable lately, so I’ll be busier than usual. Once I have some free time, I’ll take you to report to the procuratorate, all right?”

Yu Baiyi held her in her arms, rubbing and kissing her affectionately.

“When the time comes, I’ll let everyone know that you belong to me, Yu Baiyi. Let’s see who still dares to bully you.”

Lin Xiaogu felt as though her heart was overflowing with happiness.

Although she had been abandoned by her parents at a very young age, and although the years she had spent surviving by scavenging through garbage had truly been difficult, ever since she met Yu Baiyi, all her suffering had finally come to an end…

After all these years, Yu Baiyi was the only person willing to approach her, trust her, and give her a home.

Therefore, her heart and her entire being had long since belonged completely to Yu Baiyi.

As long as Yu Baiyi still liked her, she was willing to remain by her side for the rest of her life, even if… even if she sometimes had to endure a little physical pain.

“Reporting to the General. The number of residents attempting to climb over the border walls and flee the Sixteenth District has been steadily increasing. The Sixteenth District does not have enough police personnel and has just sent us a request for reinforcements. Should we provide assistance?”

Yu Baiyi stared at the data displayed on the large electronic screen and frowned.

“Apart from the earthquake that struck the Sixteenth District a month ago, what caused this unrest?”

“I believe… it may be the widespread circulation of Alpha stimulants.”

“Alpha stimulants?”

Her subordinate replied, “Yes. The procuratorate in the Sixteenth District discovered a group of people trafficking large quantities of an Alpha stimulant. It’s a newly developed drug. After injecting it, an Alpha can experience prolonged pleasure, but it also causes hallucinations. In severe cases, they may even randomly choose an Omega and mark them.”

“So most of the people risking their lives to escape the Sixteenth District are Omegas?”

Her subordinate nodded. “Yes.”

Yu Baiyi sighed. As she watched the video sent by the soldiers stationed at the border, a trace of compassion appeared in her eyes.

After a long silence, she said, “Forget it. Inform the Sixteenth District that the Thirteenth District is currently short on police personnel and is temporarily unable to provide reinforcements.”

“General, but… we’re the district closest to the Sixteenth District. If those Omegas successfully cross the border, the only place they can flee to is our territory. This…”

“I know,” Yu Baiyi said indifferently. “Notify the border guards that they may loosen restrictions on incoming Omegas to an appropriate degree.”

She paused before continuing, “Especially restrictions on young Omegas.”

Her subordinate began to understand.

The Thirteenth District had always been the most economically prosperous region in the Empire. However, because its medical resources were so advanced, its population had been aging increasingly severely in recent years.

A severely aging population meant there was not enough labor, and the economy would gradually decline as a result.

But what if they accepted young Omegas from the Sixteenth District at a time like this?

Her subordinate lowered her head.

“I understand. I’ll convey your orders immediately.”

Yu Baiyi hummed in acknowledgment. Then, remembering something, she called the subordinate back.

“Wait. It would be even better if the media noticed this matter and published a few flattering stories about me.”

“Understood.”

Her adjutant teased from the side, “General Yu truly has the compassionate heart of a saint.”

Yu Baiyi turned toward the spoiled young woman who had grown up alongside her and said coldly, “Have you been very idle lately?”

Her adjutant, Lu Ying, took a syringe from her pocket and placed it in front of Yu Baiyi.

“Would you like your little Beta at home to try this?”

Yu Baiyi glanced at it.

“What is it?”

“It’s a new serum recently developed by the neighboring country of S. Supposedly, after a Beta is injected with it, they can temporarily produce the sweet pheromones of an Omega. With prolonged use, there’s a ten-percent chance that the Beta will truly differentiate into an Omega. However, it’s a new drug, and no Beta has succeeded yet.”

Yu Baiyi did not even look at it again.

“I don’t want it.”

Lu Ying knew what she was thinking.

“Don’t worry. I’ve tested it. It won’t cause any physical harm to a Beta. It’s perfectly safe.”

Yu Baiyi froze.

After a moment, her dark-brown eyes turned toward Lu Ying suspiciously.

“…Are you certain it won’t cause any harm to the body?”

“Relax. After I tested it on the person at my place, I even took her to the First Hospital for a physical examination. None of her health indicators changed.”

Yu Baiyi fell into hesitation.

If it truly would not cause any physical harm…

She had imagined countless times that Lin Xiaogu might become a real Omega.

Whenever she imagined Lin Xiaogu’s entire body releasing delicious pheromones as she gazed at her with dazed eyes at the height of pleasure…

The thought alone nearly drove her mad.

Besides, if injecting this serum could provide her with a better sexual experience, Lin Xiaogu would surely agree as well.

Yu Baiyi gradually convinced herself.

Gritting her teeth, she picked up the syringe from the desk and glanced at Lu Ying.

“You had better not be lying to me.”

That evening, at the mountainside villa.

The moment Yu Baiyi entered the house, she smelled the aroma of food in the air.

After changing into slippers, she walked into the dining room and found that Lin Xiaogu had prepared an entire table of her favorite dishes. Lin Xiaogu had apparently exhausted herself and was now asleep with her head resting on the table.

Yu Baiyi’s expression unconsciously softened.

She removed her coat, casually draped it over a chair, and walked up behind Lin Xiaogu, gently wrapping her arms around her waist.

“…”

Lin Xiaogu woke in a daze. She sleepily looked back, and when she saw Yu Baiyi, a trace of delight appeared in her eyes.

“You’re back.”

“Did… everything go smoothly today?” Lin Xiaogu leaned forward and lightly kissed the corner of Yu Baiyi’s lips. Smiling, she said, “Sit down. I’ll get you some rice.”

“All right.”

Yu Baiyi sat and waited for Lin Xiaogu to bring her food.

Looking at dish after dish of her favorite foods spread across the table, the corners of her lips unconsciously curved upward.

Yu Baiyi had loved eating snakehead fish since childhood.

Lin Xiaogu, however, was terrified of fish.

According to Lin Xiaogu, it was because of the night she had first been abandoned by her parents in the Thirteenth District. She had tried to search through garbage bins for something to eat, but most of the food had already been consumed by stray cats and dogs.

Therefore, she had crouched beneath a residential building, praying that someone would come downstairs to throw away some kitchen scraps.

Close to midnight, an elderly person with snow-white hair finally came down to take out the trash. The moment the old person tossed a black garbage bag into the bin, Lin Xiaogu spotted her opportunity and immediately rushed over.

She excitedly tore open the black bag—

Only to find pairs of dead fish eyes staring straight at her.

From that day onward, Lin Xiaogu had developed a deep fear of all fish. Whenever she saw their eyes, she felt as though she had returned to that night when she had been starving.

When Lin Xiaogu told her this story, Yu Baiyi had pretended to be moved and kissed her.

Although she still could not understand what was so frightening about fish eyes, she told Lin Xiaogu that she would never have to prepare fish for her again.

Then, unrest broke out in the Thirteenth District, and Yu Baiyi spent an entire month on the front lines. By the time she finally returned home, Lin Xiaogu had already learned every possible way to prepare snakehead fish.

See?

That was how much Lin Xiaogu loved her.

Yu Baiyi took the syringe from her pocket and placed it on the table.

Could this… be considered a reward for Lin Xiaogu?

Yu Baiyi smiled.

Lin Xiaogu brought over the rice.

Yu Baiyi handed her a pair of chopsticks.

“Eat with me?”

Lin Xiaogu shook her head. “I’m not eating.”

“Why?”

In the past, Lin Xiaogu had always waited for Yu Baiyi to return before eating with her.

Lin Xiaogu hesitated. She slowly reached out and accepted the chopsticks. After struggling to eat a single grain of rice, she apologized to Yu Baiyi.

“I’m sorry, Baiyi… I’m feeling a little unwell. Could I not eat with you tonight?”

“You feel sick? Where does it hurt? Come here and let me take a look.”

Lin Xiaogu walked over.

Yu Baiyi pulled her into her arms. Only then did she realize that Lin Xiaogu’s body was burning hot.

“You have a fever?” Yu Baiyi murmured. “I clearly gave you fever medicine this morning. How could…”

So those had been fever-reducing pills.

Lin Xiaogu smiled happily.

It turned out that Yu Baiyi had noticed her fever long ago. She really did care about her.

Yu Baiyi looked toward the syringe on the table.

It appeared tonight would not work.

Why did she have to develop a fever at this particular time?

Yu Baiyi said gently, “Baby, go lie down in bed first. I’ll get you some medicine.”

Lin Xiaogu blinked obediently. “All right.”

She lay down on the warm, soft bed. Before long, Yu Baiyi entered the bedroom carrying a glass of water.

Lin Xiaogu stared at her, momentarily lost in thought…

Even though she had been with Yu Baiyi for four years, her heart still raced uncontrollably every time she looked at her.

How could someone… be so beautiful?

Yu Baiyi’s natural aristocratic bearing was something an ordinary person could never dream of possessing.

Lin Xiaogu had marveled countless times at how fortunate she was.

“Baby, come. Take your medicine first.”

Yu Baiyi helped Lin Xiaogu sit up. Lin Xiaogu accepted the pills, and a hint of bitterness slowly dissolved on the tip of her tongue.

After Lin Xiaogu finished taking the medicine, Yu Baiyi carried away the water and pills. When she returned to the bedroom, she was holding the syringe.

Lin Xiaogu asked curiously, “Baiyi, what are you holding?”

Yu Baiyi hid the syringe behind her back, quickly walked over to the safe, opened it, placed the syringe inside, and locked it.

“I can’t tell you yet.”

Lin Xiaogu asked, “Why? If it’s a suppressant…”

She had wanted to say that if it was a suppressant, it would be more convenient to leave it on the bedside table.

Yu Baiyi interrupted her evasively.

“It isn’t a suppressant.”

Lin Xiaogu blinked. “Hmm? Then what is it?”

“It’s…”

Forget it.

Lin Xiaogu never became angry anyway.

It might be better to tell her early so that she could prepare herself mentally.

Yu Baiyi simply said, “It’s a new serum Lu Ying gave me today. She said that after a Beta is injected with it, they can temporarily produce pheromones, and it won’t cause any physical harm. Since you have a fever tonight, we’ll forget about it for now. Once you’ve recovered, if you’re willing… we can give it a try.”
