After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 14
The two people involved knew nothing about what was happening inside the auditorium or the “Capital University Melon Field” meeting room.
“Are you not busy with work today?” Song Zhuqiu asked Shen Huailü.
The two walked side by side along the shaded path by Shanshui Lake.
The shrubs by their feet grew densely. Song Zhuqiu’s left foot and Shen Huailü’s right foot would occasionally brush against some new branches and leaves stretching out. The sound of the wind mixed with the rustling of grass and leaves being rubbed.
“I finished everything in advance last night,” Shen Huailü said in a soft, gentle voice that seemed almost covered by the sounds around them.
“What are you eating for lunch?” Song Zhuqiu asked.
“Is Miss Song inviting me to lunch?” Shen Huailü laughed softly.
Song Zhuqiu was about to speak.
Shen Huailü smiled. “I made plans with Manshuang for lunch.”
“Can you bring me along?”
“Would that make Miss Song… a family member?”
Song Zhuqiu took two large steps forward, then turned around and blocked Shen Huailü’s path.
Shen Huailü was forced to stop, facing Song Zhuqiu.
They were both wearing casual shoes. Song Zhuqiu was slightly taller, so Shen Huailü had to tilt her head up a little to look at her.
“Does Miss Song not have plans with her roommates today?” Shen Huailü had noticed last time that Song Zhuqiu and her three roommates had a very good relationship.
Oh no!
Hearing this, Song Zhuqiu hurriedly opened the WeChat group chat.
She tapped into the chat named “The Four Vajras” and scrolled up through the messages.
“Hotpot at the usual place for lunch!”
Song Zhuqiu quickly replied.
Only then did she discover that in the latest messages, everyone was @-ing her and sending her links and screenshots.
She thought everyone was getting anxious because she had not replied about lunch, so she simply did not look at them.
She put her phone back into her pocket and continued chatting with Shen Huailü.
Thinking that she had looked at her phone for quite a while and ignored Shen Huailü, Song Zhuqiu felt guilty. She glanced at the flowers beside them and casually plucked one.
With a sincere tone, Song Zhuqiu said, “This flower is very pretty. It suits you.”
Shen Huailü: “…”
Song Zhuqiu asked, “Should I tuck it behind your ear?”
Shen Huailü could no longer endure it. “First, this is a carnation.”
Song Zhuqiu looked confused. “?”
What was wrong with carnations?
“Second, look at the sign over there.”
Beside the flowerbed stood a green sign: “Seasonal ornamental flowers may not be picked. Violators will be fined 500 yuan.”
There was even a payment QR code on it.
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
She laughed awkwardly and opened WeChat to scan the code and pay the fine.
But after scanning it, she discovered it was a personal payment code.
Song Zhuqiu turned her phone around for Shen Huailü to see the screen. “Isn’t it a little strange that it’s a personal payment code?”
Shen Huailü looked at Song Zhuqiu with complicated eyes.
“Mm. Report it to the logistics department.”
Shen Huailü sighed. How had she encountered such a block of wood?
How had she originally thought this person would not need teaching and she could simply enjoy the results?
Song Zhuqiu called a teacher from the logistics department. “Hello, Teacher. I’m beside the ornamental flowerbed at Shanshui Lake and found a sign here. It says picking flowers will result in a 500 yuan fine, but when I scanned the QR code beneath it, I found that it was a personal WeChat payment code, not an official school account. I’ve already taken photo and video evidence. There is also another witness here with me.”
Logistics teacher: “…”
Student, at least give me a chance to speak.
“Hello, student. Thank you very much for reporting irregularities on campus. This sign was put up by students from the School of Psychology for an experiment. They already filed a report with us, and all money transferred in will be refunded through the original route.”
The logistics teacher sighed inwardly. The sign put up by the School of Psychology had been there for more than half a year. It was said that so far, they had received more than sixty thousand yuan in fines.
But this student calling to report it was still unexpected. Young people these days were upright and sharp-minded!
She thought of her niece, who was a freshman at Capital University, and wondered whether they might be compatible.
“Student…”
“Teacher, please go ahead.”
“Student, are you an Alpha, Omega, or Beta?”
Song Zhuqiu thought the other party was registering the student’s personal information. “Alpha, fourth-year, International School, Song Zhuqiu.”
Shen Huailü: “?”
Why had she started introducing herself?
Noticing Shen Huailü’s confusion, Song Zhuqiu turned on speaker mode.
The logistics teacher was delighted. Her niece was an Omega. Three years older than her niece was even better; she would know how to take care of someone!
“Oh~ Here’s the thing. This sign has been up for half a year, and you’re the only one who has called to report it. Teacher was thinking that Student Song must have upright character and a clever mind. I happen to have a niece who just started her first year at our school. She’s an Omega, and Teacher wants to introduce the two of you. What do you think? My niece is the campus belle of the first-year students, and she hasn’t dated yet~ Are you interested, Student Song?”
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
Shen Huailü: death stare.
Song Zhuqiu felt terrified under Shen Huailü’s gaze and hurriedly replied to the person on the other end, “Teacher, a three-year age gap is too much. I can’t!”
After saying that, she exchanged a quick goodbye with the person on the phone and hung up.
Song Zhuqiu’s heart was pounding wildly. Strange. Why was she panicking?
Shen Huailü took a step forward, instantly shortening the distance between them. “Student Song, I’m not even a few months apart from you.”
“What about this kind? Can you or can’t you?”
Shen Huailü’s tone lifted at the end. The corners of her lips curved, and her body leaned forward slightly, as if she were about to press into Song Zhuqiu’s arms.
Song Zhuqiu was startled by Shen Huailü suddenly closing the distance.
And every time Shen Huailü asked a rhetorical question, it always sounded so strange!
Song Zhuqiu hesitated before saying, “I… of course I can.”
As for what exactly she could do, she did not know either.
She pinched the carnation’s stem until only a short section remained.
Then she raised her hand and slowly tucked the flower behind Shen Huailü’s ear.
She also smoothed the hair behind Shen Huailü’s ear.
After finishing, she stood straight in front of Shen Huailü, lowered her head slightly, and gave Shen Huailü a bright smile. “It looks really good!”
Shen Huailü slightly tilted her head up and blinked.
“Tired.”
In that instant, inspiration struck Song Zhuqiu. Although the other woman had only said one word, she somehow seemed to know why she was tired.
She spread her legs apart, lowering her height.
This time, she looked up at Shen Huailü. “This is better!”
Shen Huailü looked at Song Zhuqiu’s bright smile, and the roots of her ears turned red.
She felt a little embarrassed.
Shen Huailü patted Song Zhuqiu’s head. “Are you coaxing me?”
“Mm. Are you a little happier?”
“No.”
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
“Student Song.”
“Present!”
“In that kind of situation just now, all you needed to do was state that you’re already married.”
Shen Huailü poked Song Zhuqiu’s forehead.
“Ah! Okay!”
Song Zhuqiu secretly noted it down.
Song Zhuqiu was afraid Shen Huailü was in a bad mood.
After all, the best skincare for women was maintaining a pleasant mood.
Even though she could not analyze exactly why Shen Huailü was in a bad mood.
“Should I send you to lunch with Doctor Bai?”
“Okay.”
“Then let’s go.”
Song Zhuqiu confidently lifted her foot and strode toward the small path on the right.
Shen Huailü: “…”
“Do you know where it is?” Shen Huailü asked.
“Oh, oh. Where is it?” Song Zhuqiu asked, looking foolish.
“To the left.”
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
—
Capital University dormitory area.
As they walked, Song Zhuqiu was still trying to find ways to coax Shen Huailü. She searched through the original owner’s memories and told Shen Huailü campus gossip.
“Before, I ran into pest extermination on this narrow path. The whole little walkway was full of all kinds of bugs. It just so happened that an Omega passed by, screaming while running. As she ran, she kicked up quite a few bugs. Several Alphas followed behind her, laughing the whole time.
“The extermination path was too long. That Omega saw that she couldn’t finish running to the front, so she turned back to ask for help and directly burrowed into the arms of the Alpha at the front.”
Shen Huailü quietly listened.
“Later, I heard those two got together. They were seniors, and they’re already preparing to hold their wedding in Kyoto.”
“Are you afraid of bugs?” Song Zhuqiu asked.
Shen Huailü was silent.
Song Zhuqiu thought the other woman did not want to answer. Recalling that Shen Huailü had walked through the bushes just now without any discomfort, she guessed Shen Huailü probably was not afraid.
“I think it’s normal for girls to be afraid of bugs, but being afraid to that extent is really too…”
Before Song Zhuqiu could finish speaking, Shen Huailü interrupted her.
“Too what? I’m quite afraid of them.”
Shen Huailü lied without changing her expression.
Delicate.
“…Too lovable,” Song Zhuqiu said, almost failing to turn the sentence around.
Shen Huailü raised her brows.
“Student Song likes that kind? Indeed, delicate Omegas are very popular with Alphas,” Shen Huailü said objectively.
Song Zhuqiu felt a little lost. She did not know what romantic liking between two sexes felt like.
She did not understand love or romance at all.
Perhaps it was like comrades-in-arms, where one could entrust the other with faith and shoulder each other’s life and death.
“I like someone like you.”
Straight-ball player Song Zhuqiu scored her first kill on Shen Huailü.
Shen Huailü’s face turned slightly red.
“I’m here.”
Song Zhuqiu saw that Shen Huailü did not respond to her words and entered a Western restaurant.
She scratched her head. Had she said something wrong? Why did Shen Huailü not respond?
This was too unfair.
Comrades-in-arms stood back-to-back and entrusted trust to both sides.
The only person Song Zhuqiu trusted here was Shen Huailü.
In her eyes, she and Shen Huailü were grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
Song Zhuqiu did not feel at all that there was anything wrong with an Alpha in a married AO couple saying such a thing to an Omega.
Perhaps she simply had no awareness of it at all.
—
Only after Shen Huailü was led to a seat by the server did she realize she had walked into the wrong restaurant.
It was all Song Zhuqiu’s fault.
“Manshuang, have you arrived?”
“Let’s eat at another restaurant. I’ll send you the address.”
Shen Huailü decided to go along with the mistake and started ordering.
—
“Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu!!!”
After Song Zhuqiu entered the private room, Liu Qingqing kept glaring at her.
Song Zhuqiu: “?”
Tang Ji and Yu Zhixue had complicated expressions.
“You and Lü Nianning?” Tang Ji asked.
Aside from obeying the law and being a good citizen, Tang Ji herself did not have much of a sense of morals or ethics. If Song Zhuqiu really were two-timing, she would be the “accomplice” helping cover up the truth.
Song Zhuqiu was confused. “What about it? Didn’t she and I already end? I’m married now.”
She firmly remembered Shen Huailü’s teaching.
Yu Zhixue and Liu Qingqing sighed.
“Then why is the whole school spreading rumors that you cheated with Lü Nianning?”
Song Zhuqiu: “Huh?”
Ridiculous.
Liu Qingqing summarized it for her. “Someone in the auditorium saw you take Lü Nianning to the little woods while Shen Huailü was backstage. There are pictures and evidence!”
Was everyone really that bored?
Song Zhuqiu knew what she had done. In her view, it could not possibly count as the two of them having a special relationship.
She was very clear that she had dragged Lü Nianning away, treating her like a criminal.
However, rumors on campus easily became distorted after being passed around. Song Zhuqiu did not take it seriously.
Song Zhuqiu explained what had happened that morning with Lü Nianning in a few sentences.
Tang Ji said, “Lü Nianning got a hotel room with someone else?”
“Mm.”
Tang Ji was a little puzzled. No one here understood better than her that although Song Zhuqiu had chased Lü Nianning for years, in her view, Lü Nianning might not necessarily have been uninterested.
“Do you know which hotel?” Tang Ji asked.
“Hengcheng Hotel, Room 3001.”
Tang Ji lowered her gaze in thought. “The entire thirtieth floor of that hotel is reserved for internal use.”
Song Zhuqiu: “?”
She was not interested in this AO hotel-room matter.
“Have someone check who she got the room with,” Tang Ji reminded Song Zhuqiu.
Seeing Tang Ji’s serious expression, Song Zhuqiu agreed.
The group continued chatting.
Yu Zhixue gave Liu Qingqing a long introduction to the “drawing board” she was carrying.
After listening, Liu Qingqing grabbed her head and shouted that she also wanted to search the whole world for an Omega who could produce a gravitational field with her.
“We’re taking graduation photos this afternoon. Have you found reference pictures?”
Yu Zhixue was obsessed with taking a six-person “When sisters are of one heart, their sharpness can cut through metal” hexagram group photo.
Liu Qingqing strongly disliked it, but she could not win against this spoiled Alpha who knew how to act cute.
Not to mention, Tang Ji fully supported it.
After Song Zhuqiu saw the sample picture: “…”
It was truly hard to describe.
“Qiuqiu, ask your wife. We can all take it together. Have her find a friend to make up the number.”
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
I don’t dare ask.
