After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 3
A vein faintly appeared on Shen Huailü’s forehead. The muscles in her face tightened, clearly suppressing her anger. Her fingers stiffly gripped the pillow at the side of the sofa, and she flung it hard behind her.
The pillow missed, naturally failing to hit Song Zhuqiu, who was lying flat on the floor.
Before Shen Huailü could lose her temper, Song Zhuqiu hurriedly explained, “Did you feel the gravity increase? Just now, you suddenly turned around and left. I was pulled by that force and lost my balance.
“I originally wanted to press on your shoulder to make you stop, but I didn’t expect…”
Shen Huailü frowned. Hearing this, she slowly supported herself with her hands and turned around.
At this moment, she could clearly feel it too. Unlike the faint tugging sensation from the amusement park and hospital during the day, it was now more like an invisible current, strong and urgent.
A chill ran down Shen Huailü’s spine. She had not expected it to be this serious.
Recently, her parents had been frequently urging her to marry. She had already met more than a dozen blind dates, all of whom were Alphas from prestigious families.
In that case, Song Zhuqiu should also meet her parents’ requirements for her marriage partner. In terms of appearance, she was also one of the very best among those families.
Shen Huailü calculated for a while and already had a plan in mind.
Song Zhuqiu noticed Shen Huailü looking at her expressionlessly and thought the other woman was so angry she could not speak. But judging from her expression, it seemed more like she was thinking about something.
Could it be that Shen Huailü had agreed to study the gravitational field with her at the hotel not because of her invitation, but because she herself was very interested in the matter?
That might really be the case. Otherwise, how could she still rationally think about the problem after falling so hard?
Seeing Shen Huailü gradually come back to herself, Song Zhuqiu also sat up and smiled as she suggested, “Since both of us are interested in this, shall we sleep later tonight? Is that okay? We can see whether the gravity really increases after sunset, just as Doctor Bai said. I’m very curious about when the gravity reaches its peak.”
Shen Huailü: “?”
What nonsense.
But seeing Song Zhuqiu’s excited expression, she guessed it was related to the gravitational field, so she agreed. Since she needed something from Song Zhuqiu, she naturally could satisfy the other woman’s requests within a range she could accept.
When Song Zhuqiu saw Shen Huailü nod, she immediately began her exploration.
She slowly raised her left hand, palm facing outward, and pushed it in Shen Huailü’s direction. As her arm slowly stretched forward, she felt her body lean forward slightly along with it, as if some invisible force was pulling at her center of gravity.
She withdrew her hand.
Simply maintaining this close distance while sitting face-to-face already required no small amount of strength, especially from her waist and abdomen. Fortunately, the original owner had a habit of working out, so her core was decent.
The one who could not maintain the distance was Shen Huailü. She was still in her heat period, and facing an Alpha while enduring her body’s discomfort and using strength to maintain distance was not easy.
The longer she sat still, the harder it became to endure. Her skin felt as if countless tiny electric currents were sliding over it. It was not painful, but it was unbearably difficult to withstand.
Song Zhuqiu reached forward to test again. Shen Huailü instinctively responded, and Song Zhuqiu’s index finger touched the back of Shen Huailü’s hand.
Song Zhuqiu’s fingertip was unusually hot, forming a sharp contrast with the Omega’s cold hands. In that sudden warmth, Shen Huailü involuntarily let out a soft, comfortable sigh.
Song Zhuqiu said sorry, but that apology was not for the accidental touch. It was for continuing the contact.
Song Zhuqiu was swallowed by curiosity and completely ignored the Omega’s abnormal reaction in front of her.
Song Zhuqiu lightly brushed across the back of Shen Huailü’s hand. She tried to describe the sensation, but could only think of a touch as delicate as silk, gentle yet complicated.
Song Zhuqiu’s palm slowly opened and unconsciously covered Shen Huailü’s hand, then slid upward along Shen Huailü’s forearm. The two of them had just taken showers, and their skin still carried traces of moisture, making the touch unusually smooth.
Song Zhuqiu could not help sliding her hand along Shen Huailü’s arm. Her thumb gently rubbed the inner side of Shen Huailü’s arm, as if searching for some indescribable comfort.
Shen Huailü let out a low, unbearable hum. She could not help twisting slightly, her crossed legs unconsciously rubbing together.
Song Zhuqiu suddenly realized that her actions might have been too offensive and quickly let go. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, her eyes were filled with apology as she softly said to Shen Huailü, “Sorry.”
Song Zhuqiu remembered that whether it was an Alpha’s susceptible period or an Omega’s heat, both would cause strong, unconscious attraction toward pheromones or physical traits due to physiological reactions. This attraction came entirely from instinct and was engraved into their genes.
This unique physiological mechanism made physical contact between Alphas and Omegas extremely easy to happen. So it was not because of her subjective will. Song Zhuqiu forgave herself for the offensive actions just now.
She recalled her past experiences. Whether facing men or women, she had never shown any frivolous behavior. She knew she was not a lustful person.
Song Zhuqiu considered herself strong-willed and believed she would not easily be controlled by the other person’s pheromones. As expected, she quickly snapped out of that brief daze.
Shen Huailü was breathing rapidly, while Song Zhuqiu was unexpectedly well-behaved. Shen Huailü was also a little surprised. She had thought her hand would still be rubbed for a while.
Since she had already made her decision, she could naturally accept this bit of “recklessness” from the other woman. Shen Huailü had somewhat intended to test Song Zhuqiu’s boundaries.
Rumor had it that Song Zhuqiu had been pursuing her white moonlight for several years, though no one knew whether that was true or false. But to Shen Huailü, it would be even better if Song Zhuqiu already had someone in her heart. She was not after the other woman’s sincerity anyway.
The Alpha’s actions just now had been timely and had stopped at the right moment. She had some sense of romance, yet also knew her limits. Shen Huailü’s evaluation of this future “partner” rose another level.
However, if she knew Song Zhuqiu’s true thoughts, she would probably cough up blood. She would even have to teach her herself.
But being dragged down by Song Zhuqiu and made to kneel just now really hurt!
Shen Huailü glared at Song Zhuqiu, her expression cold and hard, giving her no pleasant look.
Song Zhuqiu was still sorting through the logic of this new world. She could understand the six ABO genders now, and her own identity was already clear.
As for her past experiences, aside from the original body’s memories with her white moonlight, which were still rather vague, she had already roughly gone through the rest.
The two of them each fell into their own thoughts, strangely sitting across from each other on the carpet, immersed in their own minds. Neither noticed anything wrong.
Shen Huailü’s body felt uncomfortable, and she did not want to speak much. She tried to close her eyes and rest, but her body felt like it was in the state of needing to tense up and maintain balance during a sudden brake in a car, making it impossible for her to truly relax.
Seeing that Shen Huailü’s face was full of exhaustion, Song Zhuqiu did not disturb her.
While they were busy controlling their own strength, both of them seemed to have forgotten one basic principle: forces act mutually.
Song Zhuqiu crouched and carefully moved slowly around Shen Huailü, her eyes filled with amazement and curiosity toward the gravitational field.
Under Song Zhuqiu’s constant movements, the direction in which Shen Huailü had to exert force also kept changing. Her strength drained away continuously. Finally, Shen Huailü’s eyelids grew heavy.
Song Zhuqiu lightly crouch-walked behind her. By then, Shen Huailü’s consciousness had already blurred, and her body uncontrollably fell backward.
Shen Huailü had fallen asleep. Naturally, a sleeping person could not move, let alone exert force.
Song Zhuqiu had indeed controlled the distance between them very well, but Shen Huailü suddenly lost her balance and fell onto Song Zhuqiu’s legs.
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
So she had fallen asleep.
Song Zhuqiu did not have much concept of Alpha-Omega boundaries. She picked Shen Huailü up horizontally, planning to carry her back to the bedroom. Unexpectedly, a strange sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart. She carried Shen Huailü to the bedside and gently placed her down.
It was already difficult to lean over while exerting force backward, and on top of that, she was holding Shen Huailü. Song Zhuqiu had no choice but to stay close to her and follow the descent of the other woman’s body.
After finally laying Shen Huailü flat, she pulled up the quilt and covered her. But the moment Song Zhuqiu moved away slightly, Shen Huailü was pulled toward the edge of the bed. Half of her leg hung over the side. If Song Zhuqiu walked any farther, Shen Huailü would probably roll off the bed.
“!”
She hurriedly walked back and, in passing, scooped Shen Huailü’s leg back onto the bed.
After processing a large amount of information for a long time, Song Zhuqiu also felt tired, and sleepiness gradually grew stronger.
She gently tidied the quilt around Shen Huailü, then lay down beside her and gradually sank into sleep.
—
The next morning, Shen Huailü woke up first. The figure beside her made her involuntarily furrow her brows.
Shen Huailü wanted to sit up, but failed to get out of bed. The quilt was wrapped around her too tightly.
Shen Huailü lifted her head slightly and saw that she had been wrapped tightly and neatly inside the quilt. The four sides of the quilt formed a neat rectangle. Song Zhuqiu actually had obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
Shen Huailü: “…”
Feeling that the morning gravity was not as intense as it had been last night, Shen Huailü instantly lowered her guard and easily sat up from the bed.
Song Zhuqiu was relatively alert. The moment Shen Huailü moved, she woke up. The two of them sat up at the same time.
“Morning.”
“Morning.”
They spoke in unison.
Shen Huailü got out of bed.
From their interactions yesterday, Song Zhuqiu had sensed that Shen Huailü did not speak much, so she took the initiative to say, “After you fell asleep, I went to sleep not long afterward too. It was probably past one. The gravity at that time was the peak of last night’s known gravity.”
She paused, then continued, “Right now, we don’t know when the gravitational field reaches its peak. According to my observations, you may not be able to withstand the peak gravity.
“Last night, your face was red the whole time, and it spread to your entire neck. The later it got, the more obvious it became.
“If you had already exhausted yourself when the force was still relatively weak earlier, then at the peak, you might be directly pulled onto me.”
Song Zhuqiu spoke with complete seriousness, as if she had obtained some incredible conclusion.
Shen Huailü felt both embarrassed and helpless. She was embarrassed because the other woman had noticed her blushing, and helpless because she had not turned red from exertion.
Song Zhuqiu truly lived up to her reputation as a poor student. Shen Huailü was now certain once again that Song Zhuqiu must have failed biology.
Did she really think Shen Huailü’s face and neck had turned red because she was using too much strength…
But this misunderstanding did ease her embarrassment quite a bit.
Not wanting the topic to continue, Shen Huailü asked Song Zhuqiu, “How are you getting back? Do you need me to take you to yesterday’s parking lot?”
What a joke. In a hotel belonging to Eldest Miss Song’s family, would there really be no one to send her home? Shen Huailü simply wanted to change locations and talk to her about something.
Obviously, Song Zhuqiu did not think of this. She still thought Shen Huailü did not want to talk much, so she casually agreed. Besides, the original owner’s car was still at the amusement park.
—
As Shen Huailü’s heat gradually ended, the gravity between the two of them also slowly decreased to a level she could comfortably handle.
Song Zhuqiu quietly sang along with the gentle pop song playing in the car, completely immersed in the slow melody.
The car stopped at a red light.
Shen Huailü looked at Song Zhuqiu. “You listen to this too?” she asked, trying to open up a topic and guide the conversation.
Song Zhuqiu looked up, her gaze meeting Shen Huailü’s, and reminded her, “It’s green.”
Her voice was calm.
Shen Huailü: “…”
The car started moving.
Song Zhuqiu closed her eyes and answered the earlier question. “I just didn’t expect this song to exist here too.”
Shen Huailü, however, thought the other woman was saying they had a common topic, so she chatted with Song Zhuqiu on and off.
At the amusement park parking lot.
Their conversation along the way made Shen Huailü instinctively feel that Song Zhuqiu also had a good impression of her, so she suggested, “What do you think about us getting married? A contract marriage.”
Song Zhuqiu froze for a moment, not knowing how the topic had suddenly shifted to them getting married. She looked fixedly at Shen Huailü for a few seconds and began to think.
The original owner’s family had arranged Shen Huailü as her marriage partner, but she was not clear about what the original owner’s parents were thinking, whether they would fulfill the agreement as promised, when they would fulfill it, or whether they would force her to fulfill it.
If her parents did not force the engagement, she would be inclined to cancel it. After all, the original owner was already dead, and she had replaced her. Moreover, she herself might leave at any time.
But since she was enjoying the help and convenience brought to her by the original owner, if the original owner’s parents cared about the engagement at all, Song Zhuqiu would also be willing to marry.
To her, aside from life and death, nothing was a major matter. Marriage was nothing more than having one more person in her life. It would even make things livelier.
After pondering for a moment, Song Zhuqiu only said, “I’ll think about it. Thank you for giving me a ride.”
After saying that, Song Zhuqiu gently closed the car door.
She had not refused.
Shen Huailü looked at Song Zhuqiu’s retreating figure and thought to herself, there was still plenty of time ahead.
—
Song Zhuqiu drove toward the Song family residence from her memories.
At the gate, the young butler carefully examined the car and license plate, then carefully studied Song Zhuqiu’s face. After confirming there was no mistake, he opened the gate and let her in.
“Good morning, Miss Song.”
The butler revealed a standard eight-tooth smile.
After entering the residential area, the first thing that came into view was the central lotus pond. The lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom, and a few water droplets could occasionally be seen among the lotus leaves. The morning mist had yet to disperse, making the entire pond seem as though it were covered by a thin veil.
The Song family mansion was located on the northern side of the villa district, surrounded on all four sides by quiet lake water. It carried a distinct Lingnan water-town charm, forming a peaceful and harmonious scene.
The pitch-black coupe slowly stopped in front of the Song family’s spacious entrance. The classical fountain at the front door was lightly tossing water droplets into the air, the sound of water pleasant to the ear.
Amid the mist from the fountain, Song Zhuqiu seemed to vaguely see a human figure.
