After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, My Omega Underwent a Second Differentiation - Chapter 16

At first, when the doctor told her that she had glandular disability disorder and could not differentiate into either an Alpha or an Omega, Sheng Yinglan actually did not have much of a reaction.

After all, much of her thinking and worldview were still rooted in her own world. Glandular disability disorder allowed her to live here more like a “normal person” in her eyes. Of course, aside from the troublesome part of needing to take medicine regularly.

But at the beginning, her thought had simply been that she wanted to stay a little closer to Yun Rong’s face in this world.

Yet now, she suddenly realized that in this ABO world, although people of the same sex could openly be together, Yun Rong was an Omega. In the future, whether she dated seriously or married, it could only be with an Alpha.

So from the moment Sheng Yinglan developed that inexplicable illness, it was as if she had already been kicked out of the game.

The reason Yun Rong wanted her to pretend to be her girlfriend was also because of her glandular disability disorder. It could save Yun Rong a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As for those intimate touches, Sheng Yinglan supposed they were merely care and consideration given under the premise that she had no sexual attraction to Yun Rong at all.

Although this was difficult to understand with her thinking as a normal person, in this ABO world, it was probably very common.

A faint, indescribable loneliness suddenly rose in her heart, like a thick cloud that had arrived without warning, pressing heavily against her chest.

Sheng Yinglan stared at the patterns on the red solid wood stair railing and thought somewhat self-mockingly that she should not have asked.

Whether Kou Jing was an Alpha, what relationship she had with Yun Rong in the past, and what relationship they might develop in the future—none of it really had anything to do with her.

She only wanted to stay by Yun Rong’s side because of that face.

She only wanted to fulfill a dream of her own, to borrow this similar face and glimpse a fragment of Teacher Yun.

Why bother pursuing so many things?

As long as Yun Rong herself was willing, that was enough.

Yun Rong was walking ahead. Hearing Sheng Yinglan suddenly ask such a question from behind without context, she did not react for a moment.

“Who? Kou Jing?”

When she said this, she seemed to remember something. She had originally been walking ahead perfectly fine, but suddenly turned around on the stairs.

“What? Are you feeling unwell? When did you take your medicine—”

“Mm…”

The moment she turned around, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a muffled groan.

At the same time, her chest and collarbone were struck hard by someone.

Sheng Yinglan had been following behind her up the stairs. She had already been somewhat distracted, and Yun Rong had suddenly stopped and turned around. She did not notice at all.

By the time she realized something was wrong, she had already crashed headfirst into Yun Rong.

The force of inertia first kept her from stopping in time. After being jolted by the impact, she instinctively wanted to step backward, but she forgot that she was still on the stairs.

The solid wood steps were not wide to begin with. With just a slight step back, her foot landed on empty air, and her whole body stumbled backward. Half of her body was suspended in the air, and it looked as though she would fall down the stairs in the next instant.

But just as she instinctively raised her elbow to shield her face, hoping not to injure it and affect the filming later, her slim waist had already been firmly seized by Yun Rong.

Yun Rong pulled her back.

She controlled her strength, preventing Sheng Yinglan from crashing into her a second time and suffering another injury. However, the two steps were very close together, and their bodies still inevitably pressed tightly together.

No one knew whether it was because Sheng Yinglan’s adrenaline from narrowly escaping danger had not yet subsided, or because Yun Rong’s heart, startled by a false alarm, had not yet settled.

In short, at this strange moment, their heartbeats seemed to have synchronized perfectly.

Yun Rong was already a little taller than Sheng Yinglan. Now, she was also standing one step above her.

The crystal light above them was somewhat dazzling. When Sheng Yinglan lifted her head, she could only catch sight of the brilliant colors reflected in Yun Rong’s eyes, dazzling beyond words.

The young waitress also had not expected such an accident to happen. She hurriedly ran to the side of the two.

“Ms. Sheng, are you all right?”

Even though she was well trained, seeing the scene just now and considering Yun Rong’s identity made her face instantly turn completely pale.

Sheng Yinglan originally wanted to shake her head and say she was fine. But before she could move, Yun Rong held her chin with one hand, fixing her in place and preventing her from moving randomly.

Only then did Sheng Yinglan feel a burning pain above her forehead.

To match her outfit today, Yun Rong had pinned a diamond feather brooch to the collar of her white suit. The tail was raised high into a curled shape, looking very beautiful.

But this thing was also hard, sharp, and large. Sheng Yinglan had not noticed just now and happened to hit it directly.

She could not help hissing softly and wanted to reach up to feel how serious the injury was.

After all, as an actress, her face was the tool she relied on to make a living. Moreover, the original owner’s face was indeed exquisitely beautiful. If it were disfigured just because of this little collision, would that not be a terrible waste?

“Don’t move. The injury isn’t serious.”

Yun Rong stopped Sheng Yinglan’s movement. Holding her chin, she tilted her face left and right to examine it, then gave her a look telling her to stay calm.

Only then did Yun Rong turn to the frightened waitress and instruct her, “Go buy some medicine for bruising and swelling. I know where the private room is. I can go there myself.”

Fortunately, nothing serious had happened. Seeing that Yun Rong did not intend to pursue responsibility either, the waitress hurriedly nodded and ran downstairs to prepare it.

Only after hearing Yun Rong say it was nothing major did Sheng Yinglan relax.

She carefully felt it again. The wound did not sting sharply. It was more of a warm, dull pain. It seemed that it was only a little swollen from the impact, and the skin had not been scraped open.

“It was just going up the stairs. What exactly were you thinking about?”

Perhaps afraid that Sheng Yinglan would be distracted again like earlier, Yun Rong simply held her wrist directly this time and led her forward, unable to stop herself from scolding her.

Then, as if remembering Sheng Yinglan’s earlier question, her brows lowered slightly, revealing an obvious displeased expression.

“Is whether Kou Jing is an Alpha so important that you can be distracted while going up the stairs?”

Whether it was because Sheng Yinglan had mentioned Kou Jing, or simply because she had been distracted on the stairs, Yun Rong’s expression was not good. Her tone was not much better either.

The second floor of the private rooms had excellent privacy. A soft carpet covered the long corridor, absorbing all miscellaneous sounds, which instead made Yun Rong’s voice sound somewhat exasperated.

When it fell into Sheng Yinglan’s ears, it seemed to carry a trace of embarrassment after being questioned.

Seeing that they had already been on the second floor for quite a while, and that the path before them was flat without any stairs, Sheng Yinglan used the opportunity to pull back her hand. She moved slightly to the side, as though avoiding Yun Rong.

“It’s nothing important. I was just distracted. You don’t need to support me. My foot isn’t injured. I can walk by myself.”

Sheng Yinglan’s voice was very soft. When she spoke, her eyes were lowered, not looking at Yun Rong beside her.

The shadows at the roots of her eyelashes rested faintly on her eyelids, as if with just a gentle touch, they would turn into butterflies and fly away.

Yun Rong looked at her now-empty hands, then at Sheng Yinglan, who had lowered her head and was walking forward. She kept feeling that the other woman’s words seemed to contain some other meaning, but if examined carefully, they also seemed perfectly normal.

Before long, the two found the private room they had reserved.

The first appetizer had already been prepared and placed on the dining table. But after what had just happened, neither of them had much appetite for the moment.

Fortunately, the waitress delivered the ointment in time, preventing the atmosphere in the private room from becoming even more awkward.

“Remove all the cold, raw, and spicy dishes. Replace them with a nourishing soup. Take all the seafood out of the main courses.”

Although the skin on Sheng Yinglan’s forehead had not been scraped open, Yun Rong still carefully asked the waitress to change the dishes.

After giving all the instructions, she held the tube of ointment and sat beside Sheng Yinglan.

“Turn your head this way and face me. I’ll apply some medicine first. If you still feel unwell later, then we’ll go to the hospital.”

Compared with the tone she had used to question Sheng Yinglan earlier, her voice had softened a lot. Her originally furrowed brows had temporarily relaxed as well. It was just that the displeasure on her face had not yet completely disappeared.

Her tense jawline made her features look even sharper, and there seemed to be a fog gathered between her brows that would not disperse.

If this scene had happened yesterday, when Sheng Yinglan had just woken up in the hospital, she would have wished she could immediately turn toward Yun Rong.

But what had happened tonight reminded her.

She should firmly hold onto the boundary of “staying by Yun Rong’s side.” She could not, and did not need to, have any closer actions.

“Give it to me. I can do it myself.”

Although she turned around, she did not obediently lift her face and wait for Yun Rong to apply the medicine. Instead, she reached out to take the ointment. A faint smile still hung on her face, as though she was trying to communicate with Yun Rong calmly.

But those few short words seemed to trigger something.

Yun Rong suddenly became very unwell. Her arm pulled back, making Sheng Yinglan’s hand miss.

Then most of her body turned toward Sheng Yinglan, even causing the chair to scrape against the floor with a sharp, piercing sound that was especially obvious in the spacious private room.

Something unclear seemed to surge in her pitch-black eyes.

But her other hand, hanging at her side, clenched tightly into a fist, trying to keep herself calm.

Only after a long while, as if waiting for her anger to calm slightly, did she speak.

“You can’t see it yourself. I’ll apply it for you.”

Her words were reasonable and well founded. But coming from Yun Rong’s mouth, they seemed wrapped in a layer of ice shards, making Sheng Yinglan, who was sitting very close to her, shiver.

She seemed able to smell that the faint woody fragrance on Yun Rong’s body had turned a few degrees colder.

Unfortunately, aside from facing the real Teacher Yun, to whom she would obediently listen no matter what, Sheng Yinglan was someone who responded to softness, not force.

Yun Rong’s forceful attitude not only failed to make her compromise, it even stirred a long-lost desire to resist in her.

However, she knew that Yun Rong was ultimately doing this for her own good, so when she spoke, she still left some room for compromise.

She pointed toward the restroom in the corner of the private room.

“There’s a mirror in there. I can see it. I’ll do it myself.”

In truth, for Yun Rong, after she bit Sheng Yinglan that night, the reaction similar to a temporary mark did not only affect Sheng Yinglan. Yun Rong herself was also affected to some extent.

Unlike an Omega’s dependence reaction, an Alpha would develop a strong desire to control the Omega they had temporarily marked.

She instinctively wanted to keep Sheng Yinglan under her control. This was the natural possessiveness of an Alpha toward an Omega at work. She had already tried her best to restrain herself.

Even when she had smelled another Alpha’s scent on Sheng Yinglan’s hand that afternoon, she had only lightly lured Sheng Yinglan with her pheromones, forcing the other woman to say something she wanted to hear. Then she restrained herself and stopped after taking only a small advantage.

Now, hearing Sheng Yinglan reject her again and again, the string in her mind that was trying to maintain calm was on the verge of snapping.

She only wanted to release several times more oppressive pheromones and make the Omega before her obediently listen, submit to her, yield to her control.

If the other woman still stubbornly resisted, then she wanted to bite her again and properly make Sheng Yinglan learn her lesson.

The savage desire for control in her heart emerged like wild grass growing with the wind. It swept through empty space after empty space, wrapped in a raging gale, and finally spread into Yun Rong’s desolate eyes, stabbing at the softest part of Sheng Yinglan’s heart.

Suddenly, a faint scent of blood appeared in the air, seemingly mixed with a little woody fragrance.

Sheng Yinglan was first stunned. Then, when she lowered her head, she saw several drops of blood seeping from the palm of Yun Rong’s hand that was holding the ointment.

Looking more closely, the originally cylindrical ointment tube had already been squeezed out of shape by Yun Rong. The iron shell had warped, and the sharp tail end was stabbing straight into Yun Rong’s palm.

Yet Yun Rong seemed completely unaware.

A pair of ink-black eyes stared fixedly at Sheng Yinglan. Inside them seemed to swirl a storm on the verge of breaking.

Sheng Yinglan only needed one glance to feel her heart tremble.

But she also seemed able to glimpse, hidden within that storm, a trace of grievance.

Sheng Yinglan, who had originally still wanted to argue her case, instantly softened beyond words.

“I agree to be your girlfriend.”
