After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 1
Song Zhuqiu narrowed her eyes, feeling as though the entire world was spinning. She did her best to wait for the dizziness to pass.
She slowly adjusted her breathing, checking every part of her body one by one for anything that felt wrong.
The sweet fragrance of locust blossoms, with a faint trace of wine hidden within it, came rushing toward her.
She was sitting beneath a locust tree. The wooden bench gave off an old, stale scent. Her head was slightly tilted back, the back of her head resting against the chair.
The temperature felt like thirty degrees Celsius. Southeast wind, with a wind speed of about thirty-nine kilometers per hour.
Above her, a speaker was playing a cheerful children’s song. The notes leapt through the light breeze, mingling with the noise in the distance.
Six or seven meters away, two women were chatting. Sometimes they laughed softly; sometimes they whispered to each other as if exchanging secrets.
Farther away, she could hear the clamor of a crowd, both adults and children among them.
She opened her eyes and blinked.
So she was in an amusement park.
Her body gradually recovered from the dizziness.
Something felt a little strange. It was as if someone was pushing her to the side.
But where was the person pushing her?
Song Zhuqiu followed the force and stood up. She took a few steps to the left while observing the situation before her.
The place she was in now was a rest area inside the amusement park. About a hundred meters ahead was a Ferris wheel. Today was probably a day off, because the benches in the rest area were nearly full.
She withdrew her attention from her surroundings and locked her gaze straight ahead.
It was a woman.
She had long, black, glossy hair that fell smoothly over her shoulders. She wore a pure white camisole with high-waisted dark blue cropped jeans. Her skin was as fair as snow, faintly flushed.
The woman looked at Song Zhuqiu. There was some confusion in her eyes, which then turned into understanding.
She stood up and walked toward Song Zhuqiu.
As the woman drew closer, Song Zhuqiu’s gaze gradually sharpened. The muscles in her body trembled slightly, as though she could subdue the other woman in the very next second and prevent her from entering her safe zone.
The woman stopped in front of Song Zhuqiu. Her cheeks were flushed, her breathing heavier, and her dark eyes stared fixedly at Song Zhuqiu without blinking.
She extended a hand toward Song Zhuqiu, her palm carrying an almost imperceptible tremor.
“Hello, my name is Shen Huailü.”
Song Zhuqiu felt a wave of inexplicable confusion. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a ripple of bewilderment rose in her heart.
It was difficult for Song Zhuqiu to describe what she felt at that moment. The closer she got to Shen Huailü, the more excited her nerves became.
Shen Huailü was like a magnet, pulling her forward, like someone deprived of oxygen desperately breathing in fresh air.
She really did want to keep moving closer to Shen Huailü.
In the physical sense.
It was as though she had no choice but to do so, as if some mysterious force was drawing her to take another step toward Shen Huailü.
Of course, her legs were long. If she took one more step, the result would be her crashing straight into this woman named Shen Huailü.
Enduring the strange force coursing through her body, Song Zhuqiu looked at Shen Huailü in confusion.
“Hello, Song Zhuqiu.”
She took Shen Huailü’s slender hand.
The two of them simply stood there holding hands, facing each other in silence. The air seemed to freeze around their quiet stillness.
If Song Zhuqiu was confused by the current situation, then Shen Huailü was shocked by the other woman’s appearance. Her breathing paused briefly, and disbelief that was not easily detected hid deep in her eyes.
Shen Huailü’s friend sat on the bench and watched the two of them talk. Suppressing the surprise in her heart, she walked over to them with hesitant steps, glanced at Shen Huailü, and asked, “Do you need to go to the hospital for a test?”
Shen Huailü’s gaze shifted from her friend back to Song Zhuqiu. Her lashes lowered slightly. Her heart was unsettled as she carefully thought it over.
Then Shen Huailü spoke with slight hesitation, but her tone was firm.
“Would it be convenient for you to go to the hospital with me for an examination?”
Her gaze remained fixed on Song Zhuqiu as she observed the other woman’s reaction.
Song Zhuqiu: “?”
A trace of confusion flashed through her eyes. Her thoughts drifted back to the tense conversation she had with her superior not long ago, trying to find some clue.
—
“The spies from Country A have already attempted to assassinate you twice. As the greatest trump card in this counterattack operation, we need to guarantee your absolute safety.”
Director Wang spoke quickly and nervously. His speaking speed was twice as fast as usual, his words nearly overlapping.
“The National Security Bureau has been infiltrated. I used my personal connections to contact the Supervision Bureau and asked them to arrange a descent transfer for you.”
As he spoke, Director Wang quickly led Song Zhuqiu through a narrow corridor toward the mysterious Supervision Bureau.
Song Zhuqiu had heard a little about this department. She had only heard its name, but knew nothing about the details, nor did she know what strange scientific research they were conducting.
In the corridor, a middle-aged man in a neat black suit greeted Director Wang in a friendly manner.
“Time is tight, so I’ll briefly introduce the arrangement Director Wang and I made. Comrade Song will be descended into E7568. This is a world based on ABO dynamics, where Newton’s law of universal gravitation has been adjusted.”
Director He of the Supervision Bureau quickly explained.
“This world is very safe. According to Director Wang’s requirements, I selected a complete body for you. The original owner’s life is in critical condition, she comes from a powerful family, and her gender is Alpha, which holds relatively high social status.”
As Director He spoke, he turned on the machine and operated the keyboard at high speed. Lines of code and information scrolled across the light screen.
Before Song Zhuqiu could even ask the questions at the tip of her tongue, the two directors impatiently urged her into the nutrient cabin.
Director He skillfully adjusted the instrument parameters, his fingers moving quickly across the control panel. The machine began to emit a low and steady hum.
A moment later, Song Zhuqiu’s head grew heavy. Her vision began to blur, and the sounds around her gradually faded away, as though she were sinking into deep seawater.
When she woke up again, she was here.
—
The scene from her memory gradually faded, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Song Zhuqiu furrowed her brows almost imperceptibly.
At the time, the situation had been extremely urgent. She had not had time to ask the director what ABO specifically meant, or what exactly her Alpha gender was.
But Song Zhuqiu would not feel anxious over this kind of unknown factor. She carefully searched through every sentence.
Adjusted the parameters of universal gravitation?
Song Zhuqiu recalled the key point.
She tried to understand what effect this unusual change would have on her here.
So the feeling of being pushed toward Shen Huailü was also the work of this so-called gravitational adjustment?
Humans could not…
At least, they should not…
Just how bored were the people in the Supervision Bureau to come up with something like this?
Song Zhuqiu was stunned stupid.
Shen Huailü looked at Song Zhuqiu, who stood frozen in place and did not answer her. A trace of complexity flashed through her eyes.
The two of them were still holding hands.
Shen Huailü shook the other woman’s hand, wanting to remind her. She wanted to let go, but Song Zhuqiu was holding on very tightly.
Shen Huailü frowned. Enduring the discomfort in her body, she reminded Song Zhuqiu in a slightly trembling voice.
Song Zhuqiu returned to her senses and realized she had lost composure. Her eyes focused on Shen Huailü again.
“Sorry.”
Song Zhuqiu released the hand she had been holding. Her fingertips inadvertently brushed across Shen Huailü’s palm, leaving the other woman with a feeling almost like an electric shock.
Shen Huailü silently took in a breath.
“You mean, go to the hospital?” Song Zhuqiu asked.
“Yes.”
“All right. Now?”
“Mm.”
Shen Huailü glanced at Song Zhuqiu, her eyes carrying a complicated look. Then she turned around and walked toward the parking lot with her friend.
Up to this point, Song Zhuqiu was still completely confused.
She still did not know how long she would have to stay in this strange place, so she decided to first understand the basic situation.
After thinking for a moment, Song Zhuqiu methodically sorted out a series of questions she had to clarify as soon as possible.
What was her identity?
What did ABO mean? As an Alpha, what did she need to know?
What exactly did the law of universal gravitation adjusted by the Research Institute ultimately manifest as?
Shen Huailü was a native of this world, and she did not seem to know Song Zhuqiu. She was the entry point for understanding questions one and two.
After sorting everything out, her train of thought became clear.
She had not even considered why Shen Huailü had invited her to the hospital for an examination.
Because she did not understand question three, and because her body had felt unwell when she first arrived, she interpreted the other woman’s invitation to go to the hospital as a kind and caring gesture. She assumed Shen Huailü had probably noticed her obvious discomfort.
If Shen Huailü was attractive to her, then did that mean the other woman could also feel the same thing from her?
A look of realization appeared between Song Zhuqiu’s brows.
Thinking this over, Song Zhuqiu followed Shen Huailü and her friend all the way to the parking lot.
“Getting in?” Shen Huailü asked.
“Mm.”
Song Zhuqiu came back to herself. She did not know whether the original owner had driven here.
Shen Huailü sat elegantly in the passenger seat. Her friend skillfully held the steering wheel. Song Zhuqiu slowly got into the back seat, her body sinking into the soft seat behind Shen Huailü.
She was not worried about this first unknown journey in a new world. In fact, she was very curious.
Separated by the subtle distance of the seat, Song Zhuqiu still wanted to get closer to the other woman, but it seemed to have eased a little.
That force was no longer as strong.
Suddenly, a car darted out from the street corner. Shen Huailü’s friend reacted swiftly and slammed on the brakes. The tires screeched sharply as they rubbed against the ground.
The seat belt tightly restrained Song Zhuqiu’s waist, forcing her back hard.
At the moment Song Zhuqiu was pushed forward by inertia, wave after wave of information flooded into her mind like the tide.
A piercing headache spread from her temples, as if a thousand needles were stabbing into her bones. Song Zhuqiu could not help furrowing her brows and pressing her fingers to her temples.
It was some of the original owner’s memories.
Ignoring the headache, Song Zhuqiu hurriedly checked them.
Within the fog-like memories, she gradually caught familiar outlines.
The original owner knew Shen Huailü.
Wait.
She and Shen Huailü even had a marriage engagement???
But why did the other woman look like she did not know her at all? She had even introduced herself.
Still, if it was an engagement arranged since childhood, that was understandable. Maybe she really did not recognize her.
Then wasn’t it strange that she had introduced herself just now?
Song Zhuqiu was a mess.
Before she could sort out her thoughts, Song Zhuqiu felt her body unconsciously drawing closer to Shen Huailü again, leaning forward toward the passenger seat.
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
She hurriedly fell back against the seat.
But she also found it very fascinating and wanted to test the rules behind this strange gravity.
She exerted a little force and leaned forward, feeling the pull drawing her ahead. Then she applied strength again and fell back against the seat.
She leaned forward toward the left front, but in the end, a suction force still pulled her toward Shen Huailü.
Song Zhuqiu: “!”
Interesting.
So she swayed back and forth, left and right, testing it.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Huailü pressed tightly against the inhibitor patch on the back of her neck and stared at the rearview mirror.
No one had ever said Song Zhuqiu was an idiot.
—
Shen Huailü’s friend was a doctor here.
When Shen Huailü came out of the Omega examination room, Song Zhuqiu had not finished the extraction yet.
Inside the Alpha examination room.
“Miss Song, do you need us to call your Omega in to help? Otherwise, if you keep being this nervous, we won’t be able to extract your pheromones.”
The nurse sighed helplessly. Ten minutes had already passed.
Song Zhuqiu had received the original owner’s memories, but to her, it was like watching a movie on fast-forward in the car. She still had not adapted.
She searched through the memories, wanting to find how this “pheromone” the nurse mentioned was supposed to be released. All she found was that pheromones could only be released in front of someone intimate. Well, they could also be released during a doctor’s examination.
But the original owner had no intimate partner and had never released pheromones in front of a doctor either.
No records found.
The nurse and Song Zhuqiu stared at each other.
Helpless, the nurse dialed the internal phone.
“Doctor Bai, your friend may need her Omega’s help. Right now, we can’t detect even the slightest pheromone fluctuation.”
“All right.”
After Bai Manshuang hung up, she looked up at Shen Huailü.
Shen Huailü frowned slightly and looked back at her in confusion.
As a doctor, Bai Manshuang had encountered this kind of situation before.
This childhood friend of hers had never been in a relationship. She had not even touched an Alpha’s little hand. Asking her to help draw out the other woman’s pheromones might be a bit difficult.
But judging from how proactive her childhood friend had been, Bai Manshuang let out a teasing “hehe.”
Ever since her childhood friend had run into Song Zhuqiu at the amusement park, Bai Manshuang had caught the deep confusion in Shen Huailü’s eyes. Shen Huailü seemed a little out of sorts.
Tsk.
An inexperienced maiden really was pure-hearted.
Bai Manshuang was more or less taking pleasure in her misfortune.
“Why don’t you go to the examination room and help Song Zhuqiu for a bit? Just follow the nurse’s instructions. Otherwise, it’ll be time to get off work soon.”
Hearing this, Shen Huailü fell silent for a moment.
Bai Manshuang knew she had agreed.
However, Shen Huailü’s safety still had to be guaranteed. Bai Manshuang was afraid that Song Zhuqiu might be lured by Shen Huailü’s pheromones and suffer a pheromone outbreak, so she called over four beta security guards.
The six of them marched toward the Alpha examination room with an imposing air. Bai Manshuang and the four guards stayed outside the door.
Song Zhuqiu and Shen Huailü, who had just entered, met each other’s eyes. Their gazes seemed to collide like two invisible forces, silently conveying complicated emotions.
When the nurse saw Shen Huailü come in, she said nothing and returned to the neighboring workroom. There were probably many cases like this, so the nurse was used to avoiding the scene.
In the workroom, there was an instrument that measured the concentration of Alpha pheromones in the air of the examination room. The nurse only needed to wait inside for the values to fluctuate.
Inside the examination room, only Song Zhuqiu and Shen Huailü remained.
Shen Huailü: “…”
Wasn’t she supposed to follow the nurse’s instructions?
She avoided Song Zhuqiu’s gaze. The faint sound of her thumb rubbing against her index finger seemed especially loud in the precise, quiet room. She stood frozen in place like a statue. She was unwilling, and did not dare, to cross the invisible line between them.
Outside the window, the inpatient department’s garden was full of vitality beneath the midsummer sun. Waves of cicada cries pierced through the double-layered glass, as if carrying the heat of the blazing sun and the scent of summer grass into the room.
Song Zhuqiu’s gaze remained firmly locked on Shen Huailü.
Once again, she felt the unobstructed attraction Shen Huailü had toward her.
It was an instinctive, bone-deep, primal attraction guided by physical law.
Song Zhuqiu sat still, secretly exerting force backward to resist it.
Only now did Song Zhuqiu seriously observe the original owner’s fiancée from their arranged childhood engagement.
Shen Huailü’s skin was like fresh snow, pure white, elastic, smooth, and delicate.
Perhaps the air conditioner in the examination room was set too high, making Shen Huailü feel stuffy. Her cheeks were tinted with a faint rouge color. Looking carefully, even the tips of her ears, originally hidden beneath her hair, could not conceal a touch of red.
She was slender, with fine bones, and did not look like she exercised much.
Following the line from her shoulders down her arms, the curves were smooth. The protruding bone near her wrist added a slight sense of strength.
From her collarbone downward, mm…
At this point, Song Zhuqiu moved her gaze back to Shen Huailü’s eyes.
Shen Huailü gently lifted the inhibitor patch on the back of her neck, as though opening a window in Song Zhuqiu’s heart that led to an unknown world.
A faint wisp of white plum fragrance lightly brushed past Song Zhuqiu’s nose. It was almost imperceptible, like the first soft ray of spring light, quietly and gently awakening Song Zhuqiu’s sleeping senses.
Shen Huailü seemed to be getting even hotter. Song Zhuqiu watched as her face grew redder and redder.
“Nurse…”
“Nurse…”
The two of them looked toward the glass of the workroom at the same time and spoke in unison, their voices carrying a hint of urgency.
Song Zhuqiu froze for a moment, then spoke first.
“Nurse, could you please lower the air-conditioning temperature a little?”
Shen Huailü glanced at her in confusion.
“Are you bad with heat? Why don’t you go back outside?” Song Zhuqiu smiled at Shen Huailü in a friendly manner.
After all, Shen Huailü was the first person she had met here, and the other woman had even kindly brought her to the hospital for a physical examination.
In Song Zhuqiu’s eyes, this pheromone test was probably as simple and meaningless as drawing blood for a test.
Shen Huailü: “…”
She inhaled.
Do not mind it.
Song Zhuqiu might really be an idiot.
