After Transmigrating as a Scum Alpha, a Cold Omega Stole My Heart - Chapter 13
The movie finally ended, and Xie Shuyun let out a sigh of relief. Turning her head, she saw Cheng Lingxue still staring blankly at the screen, seemingly not yet back to reality. She couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled—could it be different from what she thought? Did Cheng Lingxue actually like this type of movie?
However, before she could investigate further, Cheng Lingxue stood up, leaned over slightly to pat down her skirt, glanced at Xie Shuyun, and said in a muffled voice:
“Let’s go.”
“Ah, right, okay!” She quickly followed, stealing glances at Cheng Lingxue’s expression. She couldn’t read any joy or anger, but the girl seemed to be in a great hurry to leave the theater. It seemed she was right after all—the other girl disliked the movie just as much as she did.
Checking her watch, she realized it was lunchtime. Xie Shuyun quickened her pace to walk beside Cheng Lingxue and asked softly:
“It’s past twelve. Shall we go have Western food now?” Just as she spoke, Cheng Lingxue came to a halt. While Xie Shuyun was still confused, the girl slowly raised her hand and pointed a slender finger toward a shop with a massive line.
“You want to drink from that shop?” Xie Shuyun’s voice was hesitant. With a line like that, she wasn’t sure if they could buy anything within the hour.
Cheng Lingxue shot her a sidelong glance. Seeing that Xie Shuyun truly had no reaction, she finally spoke:
“The voucher.”
Xie Shuyun startled, then quickly pulled the vouchers from her pocket. Sure enough, they were for this exact shop. If there were this many customers at noon, the crowd would surely be even worse later in the afternoon.
Seeing Cheng Lingxue’s gaze lingering on the storefront, Xie Shuyun scratched her head. It seemed she really wanted to drink it, which dispelled any hesitation Xie Shuyun had.
“In that case, I’ll go line up first. There are plenty of chairs over there; find a spot to sit and wait for me. If you’re hungry, the cinema sells some snacks; you can go buy some to eat.” After finishing her instructions and watching Cheng Lingxue head toward the resting area, Xie Shuyun felt at ease enough to turn and leave.
Coming to an empty bench, Cheng Lingxue spread out a handkerchief before sitting down and pulling out her phone to scroll.
A beautiful girl naturally attracts attention, let alone a top-tier beauty like Cheng Lingxue. Soon, many passersby gathered around, peeking and prying.
Among them, there was no shortage of people wondering if they could win the beauty’s heart. However, one had to admit, the girl’s aura was too cold. If anyone approached within three steps, she would lift her eyes. Once they met those tranquil, icy pupils, a chilling breath would wash over them, making them shiver and instinctively turn away.
By the time they snapped out of it, they were already several steps away. Too embarrassed to turn back, they could only rub their noses and stand at a distance, stealthily taking a few photos as souvenirs.
After a while, the crowd noticed that the girl would look up periodically to scan the surroundings. Her expression didn’t seem like she was waiting for someone; rather, it looked like she was observing, or perhaps searching for someone. This excited the onlookers. Every time the girl showed signs of looking up, they struck their most handsome or beautiful poses, hoping to catch her eye.
Tapping her fingertips on her knee, Cheng Lingxue felt the scattered gazes drifting over her. A faint vein appeared on her forehead. It had been nearly half an hour, yet that person still hadn’t appeared. Could she have remembered incorrectly?
The beauty’s slight frown immediately made the surrounding people feel frustrated. If she’s really looking for someone, could that person please show up already? Don’t waste her time!
“Let go of me!” A loud, angry shout drew everyone’s attention. Simultaneously, Cheng Lingxue looked up, a flicker of a pleased smile crossing her eyes.
The sound came from the entrance of the cinema, where two figures were caught in a struggle. Upon closer inspection, the lead was a sweet-looking, delicate Omega girl, and the other was a handsome, mixed-race Alpha male with pale blue eyes.
“Amelia, listen to me, it’s a misunderstanding!” the Alpha male pleaded, clutching the Omega girl’s arm.
“They called you ‘baby’ in broad daylight and even sent me your private photos, and you’re calling it a misunderstanding? Am I the stupid one, or are you?” Far from being as sweet as she looked, the Omega girl had a fiery temper. Her words came out like a machine gun, leaving the Alpha speechless. Ultimately, he could only flee with an ashen face under everyone’s contemptuous gazes.
“Phew… Infuriating! Only back in the country for a month and he already cheats on me. Scum!” With her hands on her hips, the Omega girl panted slightly, wiping away the sweat caused by her agitation. Her almond-shaped eyes glared around, causing prying gazes to retract instantly. She grumbled:
“Alphas really are no good. Cheating, cheating… big deal! Hmph…” Then, she heard a cold, clear voice drift over:
“Are you all right?”
Thinking it was another blind Alpha, she was about to snap back. But when she turned her head, she saw a super-beautiful girl. Her eyes lit up instantly, but seeing the anti-bite device on the beauty’s neck, she clicked her tongue inwardly. What a pity, otherwise I’d definitely pursue her.
“Of course I’m not all right. As you saw, I just broke up.” The Omega girl shrugged. Perhaps because of her bad mood, her tone was a bit sharp, but in the next second, she saw a glisten in the eyes of the person before her. This stunned her; she instantly felt that the person in front of her might have shared a similar experience of being wronged by “scum.” A sense of protectiveness surged within her.
“Want to sit?” Cheng Lingxue pointed to the spot beside her. The Omega girl hesitated for a few seconds before slowly sitting down and giving a brief introduction:
“Let’s get to know each other first. My name is Xiao Muran. You can call me Ran-ran, or my English name, Amelia. I just came back to the country with my boyfriend to look around… bah, ex-boyfriend. What’s your name?”
“Cheng Lingxue,” Cheng Lingxue said softly, pursing her lips.
“Lingxue, I feel like you’re suffering from a broken heart just like me. Have you been cheated on by an Alpha too?” Xiao Muran said indignantly, waving her fist in the air.
“…Well…” Cheng Lingxue didn’t know how to respond to such a question. Xiao Muran took her hesitation as embarrassment and immediately started chirping about her own experience.
She cursed the “scum Alphas” without using a single vulgarity or repeating a word, leaving Cheng Lingxue dazed. The Alphas nearby felt their hearts being pierced by her words.
On the other side, after lining up for over an hour, Xie Shuyun’s face was pale; she felt she was about to faint from hunger. Fortunately, her stomach was well-behaved and didn’t make any noise for outsiders to hear, saving her from embarrassment.
After handing the double-person voucher to the clerk, she received her drinks shortly after. But the moment she saw the final product, Xie Shuyun’s eyes widened.
One pink straw and one blue straw, both topped with prominent heart shapes. The transparent cups were covered in hearts of various shades, filled with a pink drink and topped with colorful heart-shaped jellies.
“…This is…” she asked the clerk, her throat feeling dry.
“This is the ‘Peach-Honey Fruit Milk’ you ordered. It’s a festival-limited couple’s edition. Only the first hundred customers today get it, and you happened to be the last one,” the clerk explained earnestly. As soon as the words were out, a chorus of moans and groans rose from the people behind her. It was clear the crowd had been lining up specifically for this.
Feeling the murderous and resentful gazes from behind, Xie Shuyun quickly took the two drinks in her hands. The cool touch slightly soothed her agitation, but it also chilled her heart… Giving this to Cheng Lingxue… won’t I be killed?
Thinking of this, she felt a phantom pain in her gland, as if a tiny Cheng Lingxue were perched on her neck, brandishing a knife at her fragile gland.
Xie Shuyun shivered, but despite her fear, she still had to find the girl. Steeling herself, she walked toward the bench area.
She didn’t have to look hard. Seeing the crowd concentrated around the benches, she easily locked onto Cheng Lingxue’s location. She counted the “bees” the girl had attracted—dozens of them. Truly terrifying.
Before her internal grumbling finished, Xie Shuyun’s footsteps halted. Her pupils shrank at the scene before her.
Beside the “unapproachable” female lead Omega, there was actually another girl, and the two seemed to be getting along very well?
Her grip on the two drinks tightened. When she saw Cheng Lingxue pull out her phone, seemingly exchanging contact information with the other girl, Xie Shuyun’s mouth parted slightly, then pressed into a tight line.
Thinking of how hard she had tried to get along with the other girl recently, yet she still didn’t have her contact information… and that girl had gotten it so easily. A sense of bitterness welled up. Xie Shuyun pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth and took several deep breaths. Fine… I’m the Scum Alpha, there’s no way… I can’t compare…
But they were chatting so happily; should she not disturb them? But if she didn’t, the drinks wouldn’t stay cold. Just as Xie Shuyun was silently agonizing…
The girl talking to Cheng Lingxue caught sight of her. A glint flashed in her eyes, and she leaned toward Cheng Lingxue with an ambiguous air:
“Hey, Xiao Xue, that Alpha over there has been staring at us the whole time. You’re waiting for her, right? Oho, she’s really good-looking, she matches you perfectly.” As she spoke, Xiao Muran gave Cheng Lingxue a thumbs-up. Although that Alpha was very much her type, one does not covet a friend’s partner; she wouldn’t do something so unethical.
Being so misunderstood, Cheng Lingxue frowned slightly, about to explain that she and Xie Shuyun weren’t in that kind of relationship. Unfortunately, Xiao Muran’s ability to act was too fast. Before she could speak, the other girl stood up and waved her arms at Xie Shuyun, shouting:
“Hey, Alpha! Your girlfriend is over here!”
