Chapter 13
The movie finally ended, and Xie Shuyun let out a sigh of relief. When she turned her head, she saw Cheng Lingxue still staring blankly at the screen, as if she had not yet come back to her senses.
Xie Shuyun could not help feeling a little confused.
Could it be different from what she had thought? Did Cheng Lingxue actually like this kind of movie?
However, before she could continue investigating, Cheng Lingxue had already stood up. She bent slightly and patted her skirt, glanced at Xie Shuyun, and said in a muffled voice,
“Let’s go.”
“Ah, okay!”
Xie Shuyun hurriedly followed. She secretly tilted her head to observe Cheng Lingxue’s expression. She could not tell whether she was happy or angry, but from her actions, she seemed very eager to leave the theater.
It seemed things were still as Xie Shuyun had thought. Like her, Cheng Lingxue did not like this movie.
Looking at her watch, she realized it was already mealtime. Xie Shuyun quickened her pace and came to Cheng Lingxue’s side, asking softly,
“It’s past twelve. Should we go eat Western food now?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Lingxue beside her stopped walking. Just as Xie Shuyun felt puzzled, Cheng Lingxue slowly raised her hand, extended her long, slender finger, and pointed at a store with a long line.
“You want to drink something from that shop?”
Xie Shuyun’s voice was a little hesitant. With that many people in line, she did not know whether they would even be able to buy anything within an hour.
Cheng Lingxue glanced sideways at Xie Shuyun. Seeing that she truly had no reaction, she finally spoke slowly.
“The coupon.”
Hearing this, Xie Shuyun froze, then quickly took out the coupon from her pocket. Sure enough, it was for that shop.
There were already this many customers at noon. In the afternoon, when there were even more people, the line would definitely be even longer.
Seeing Cheng Lingxue’s gaze remain fixed on that shop, Xie Shuyun scratched her head.
It seemed the other girl really wanted to drink it. That dispelled Xie Shuyun’s hesitation.
“In that case, I’ll go line up first. There are quite a few chairs over there. Find a seat and wait for me. If you’re hungry, the movie theater also sells some snacks. You can buy something to eat.”
After giving all the instructions, Xie Shuyun watched Cheng Lingxue walk toward the rest area before finally turning around and leaving with peace of mind.

Cheng Lingxue came to an empty bench, spread out a handkerchief, and only then sat down. She took out her phone and began scrolling lightly.
A beautiful young girl naturally attracted people’s attention, not to mention someone of Cheng Lingxue’s top-tier quality. Soon, many passersby gathered around, peeking around curiously.
Among them, there was naturally no shortage of people wondering whether they could win the beauty’s favor. But it had to be said, this young girl’s aura was far too cold.
If anyone came closer than three steps, the girl would lift her eyes. The moment they met those calm, chilly pupils, an icy aura would sweep toward them, making them shiver. Their feet would subconsciously turn, and they would move away from her.
By the time they came back to their senses, they had already walked several steps away. Too embarrassed to turn back, they could only touch their noses and stand not far away, secretly taking a few photos as souvenirs.
After staying there for a while, this group of people discovered that the girl would occasionally raise her head and look around. Her expression did not seem like she was waiting for someone. Rather, it seemed like she was observing, or searching for someone.
This excited the group terribly. Whenever the girl showed signs of raising her head, they would strike what they believed to be their most handsome or beautiful poses, hoping to receive her favor.
Cheng Lingxue lightly tapped her fingers against her knee. Feeling the messy gazes around her wandering over her body, a faint vein appeared on her forehead.
It had almost been half an hour, yet that person still had not appeared.
Could it be that she had remembered wrong?
The beauty frowned slightly, immediately making the surrounding people beat their chests in frustration.
If the beauty really was looking for someone, could that person hurry up and appear already?
Stop wasting her time!
“Let go!”
An angry shout attracted everyone’s attention. At the same time, Cheng Lingxue also raised her eyes, and a trace of pleased amusement flashed through them.
The voice came from the entrance of the movie theater. Two figures were pulling and tugging at each other there. Looking closely, the main character was a sweet-looking omega girl who appeared delicate and pampered. The other was a handsome mixed-race male alpha with light-blue eyes.
“Amelia, listen to my explanation. This is a misunderstanding!”
The male alpha grabbed the omega girl’s arm, his tone pleading.
“She openly called you baby, and even sent me your private photos, yet you still call it a misunderstanding? Are you stupid, or am I?”
Completely unlike her sweet appearance, the omega girl had a fiery temper. Her words came like a machine gun, striking the alpha until he had nothing to say. In the end, under everyone’s contemptuous gazes, he fled with an ashen face.
“…Hah… I’m so mad. I just came back to the country for one month, and he already cheated on me. Scumbag!”
With her hands on her waist, the omega girl panted slightly and wiped away the thin sweat that had appeared because of her agitation. Her almond-shaped eyes glared around, causing all those probing gazes to immediately withdraw.
She muttered,
“Alphas really aren’t anything good. Cheating, cheating, as if that’s impressive! Hmph…”
Then the omega girl heard a cold, clear voice come over.
“Are you okay?”
Thinking it was another blind alpha, she was just about to snap back. Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she saw an extremely beautiful girl.
Her eyes instantly lit up.
But when she saw the bite-prevention collar around the beautiful girl’s neck, she clicked her tongue in regret.
What a pity.
Otherwise, she would absolutely be willing to throw herself at her.
“Of course I’m not okay. You saw it too. I just broke up.”
The omega girl spread her hands. Perhaps because she was in a bad mood, her tone was a little sharp. But in the next second, she actually saw a faint glimmer in the eyes of the person before her.
This made her pause. She instantly felt that the person in front of her might have gone through the same experience of being hurt by a scumbag, and a protective desire immediately rose in her heart.
“Want to sit?”
Cheng Lingxue pointed to the seat beside her. The omega girl hesitated for a few seconds before slowly sitting down and giving a simple self-introduction.
“Let’s get to know each other first. My name is Xiao Muran. You can call me Xiao Ran, or my English name, Amelia. I recently came back to the country with my boyfriend to take a look around. Pah—my ex-boyfriend. What’s your name?”
“Cheng Lingxue.”
Cheng Lingxue pursed her lips slightly and said softly.
“Lingxue, I feel like you have emotional wounds just like me. Have you also experienced being cheated on by an alpha?”
Xiao Muran spoke with righteous indignation, waving her fist in the air.
“…This…”
Faced with this question, Cheng Lingxue did not know how to answer.
Xiao Muran, however, thought her pause meant she was too embarrassed to say it. She immediately began chattering about her own experience.
While angrily scolding scumbag As, she did not use a single curse word, and her wording did not repeat once. Cheng Lingxue listened in a daze.
The alphas nearby who had guilty consciences felt exceptionally pierced by her words.

On the other side, after lining up for more than an hour, Xie Shuyun’s face had already turned pale. She felt like she was about to faint from hunger.
Fortunately, her stomach was very cooperative and did not start performing loudly enough for others to hear, so at least she was spared from embarrassment.
After she gave the two-person coupon to the clerk, it did not take long for her to receive her drinks.
But the moment she saw the finished product, Xie Shuyun’s eyes widened slightly.
There were two straws, one pink and one blue, with obvious heart-shaped decorations on top. The transparent cup had several hearts in different shades printed on it. Inside was a pink drink, paired with colorful heart-shaped jellies.
“…This is…”
She asked the clerk somewhat dryly.
“This is the Peachy Honey Fruit Milk you ordered. It’s a limited couple’s version for the holiday period. Only the first one hundred customers who come today can get it, and you just happen to be the last one.”
The clerk seriously explained to Xie Shuyun. As soon as she finished speaking, waves of wailing came from behind. From this, it was clear that the people lining up had all come for this.
Feeling the murderous and resentful gazes behind her, Xie Shuyun could only quickly reach out and take the two drinks in her hands. The cold touch slightly soothed her anxious emotions, but it also chilled her heart.
Giving this to Cheng Lingxue…
Would she really not be killed?
Thinking this, Xie Shuyun felt her gland faintly ache, as if there were a tiny Cheng Lingxue standing on her neck, holding a knife and gesturing at her fragile gland.
Xie Shuyun shivered.
But even though she was afraid, she still had to find her. Steeling herself, she walked toward the bench area.
She did not need to look hard.
Seeing the place in the bench area where the crowd was gathered, she easily locked onto Cheng Lingxue’s location. In her heart, she counted the “bees” the other girl had attracted.
There were dozens of them.
Truly terrifying.
Before she could finish muttering inwardly, Xie Shuyun’s footsteps stopped.
The situation before her made her pupils shrink slightly.
Beside that female lead O, who felt difficult to approach, there was actually another young girl. And the two of them seemed to be getting along very well?
Her hands tightened around the two drinks.
When she saw Cheng Lingxue take out her phone, seemingly exchanging contact information with the other person, Xie Shuyun’s mouth parted slightly before she pressed it tightly shut again.
Thinking about how she had worked so hard to get along with Cheng Lingxue during this period, yet still had not been able to obtain the other girl’s contact information, while that young girl had gotten it so easily…
A sour feeling immediately rose up.
Xie Shuyun pressed the tip of her tongue against the roof of her mouth and took several deep breaths.
Numb…
She was the scumbag A.
There was no helping it.
She could not compare with others…
But they were chatting so happily. Should she not go over and disturb them?
But then the drinks would no longer be cold.
Just as Xie Shuyun was secretly troubled, the young girl chatting with Cheng Lingxue looked toward her. A flash of light passed through her eyes. She leaned somewhat ambiguously toward Cheng Lingxue.
“Hey, Xiao Xue, that alpha over there has been looking this way the whole time. You’re waiting for her, right? Oho, she’s really good-looking. She matches you so well.”
As she spoke, Xiao Muran gave Cheng Lingxue a thumbs-up.
Although that alpha was also very much her type, a friend’s wife must not be touched. She would not do something wicked.
Being misunderstood like this, Cheng Lingxue frowned slightly and was just about to explain that she and Xie Shuyun did not have that kind of relationship.
Unfortunately, Xiao Muran was far too quick to act.
Before Cheng Lingxue could speak, Xiao Muran had already stood up and waved both arms at Xie Shuyun, shouting loudly,
“That alpha over there, your girlfriend is here!”
