After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 26

The car window was lowered halfway. The gentle breeze swept across their faces, dissipating the heat.

Liang Manqing licked her moist lips. The flavor of the orange juice mixed with the scent of the little rose was indeed quite sweet.

The car had three rows of seats, and the third row was a bench seat, a fair distance from Qian Haiye’s driver’s seat.

Qin Qin wrapped her arms around Liang Manqing’s waist, resting her chin on her shoulder. Her view was the Alpha’s long, fair neck—a sight that made one want to take a taste.

Qin Qin did just that, pressing her lips against it.

Liang Manqing felt a warmth on her neck. Qin Qin’s warm breath scattered over her, and the soft lips bit her.

“Mhm…” Liang Manqing rubbed her finger on her neck, looking at Qin Qin and saying sullenly: “Why are you biting me?”

“I didn’t bite you.”

“It’s all red.”

Not knowing if Liang Manqing truly didn’t understand or was pretending, Qin Qin rubbed Liang Manqing’s lower back, correcting her: “This is a hickey reserved just for me.”

“Hey…” Liang Manqing grabbed Qin Qin’s misbehaving hand: “Don’t move around.”

The Alpha’s hand was larger than the Omega’s, firmly holding Qin Qin’s soft hand, keeping her still.

Qin Qin intertwined her fingers with Liang Manqing’s, suppressing a smile: “Sister, I want to eat an orange.”

The journey was long, and the car bumped along.

Liang Manqing was also feeling a bit carsick. She freed her hand, broke off a segment of the remaining orange, fed one piece to Qin Qin, and prepared to eat one herself.

However, before Liang Manqing could put it in her mouth, Qin Qin snatched it. Her pearly teeth nestled against the orange segment, and she leaned into Liang Manqing, signaling with her eyes for her to eat it.

“You eat it.”

Liang Manqing turned her head away. The next second, Qin Qin cupped her cheeks with both hands and used her tongue to feed the orange to Liang Manqing, mouth-to-mouth.

“…” Liang Manqing opened her mouth to receive it, slowly savoring the taste.

Qin Qin watched Liang Manqing eat it, smiling as she asked: “Sister, isn’t it sweet eating it this way?”

The Omega’s eyes fluttered as she looked at her. Liang Manqing’s heart softened, and she hummed: “It is quite sweet.”

Up ahead, they entered the adjacent town. The crew’s car pulled up to a rural guesthouse.

The town was nestled by mountains and rivers, and the air was especially fresh.

Several scenes in the Leaving Fragrance script involved extracting spices from wild plants and were set to be filmed in the mountains.

The weather forecast predicted clear skies for the week, making it perfect for mountain filming.

The rural guesthouse was small. There was no online booking system, and when the crew arrived, four rooms were already reserved by other guests, leaving only six rooms.

Even with two or three staff members squeezing into one room, they still didn’t have enough space.

The supervisor asked Yu Zhiting, Lin Mian, and Qin Qin: “Would the three of you be willing to share a room with someone? We don’t have enough rooms to assign.”

“I don’t like sharing a room with others.”

Yu Zhiting, wearing sunglasses, looked displeased. Coming to this remote, impoverished place already put her in a bad mood. She absolutely refused to share a room with someone she wasn’t familiar with.

Qin Qin didn’t mind sharing a room, but the thought of sharing with the passive-aggressive Lin Mian made her reluctant.

Lin Mian looked at Qin Qin and said: “I don’t mind, but…”

Saying this made Qin Qin appear petty.

Lin Mian subtly sensed Qin Qin’s hostility toward her. She smiled at Qin Qin: “Qin Qin, I was wrong about hurting your hand last time. I truly know I was wrong, please don’t be mad anymore.”

Qin Qin couldn’t figure out what Lin Mian was playing at—harming her one moment and apologizing the next.

In the end, thinking of the kind Lin Mian from her past life, Qin Qin couldn’t bear to hurt her. She pursed her lips and hummed: “I can.”

Lin Mian stepped forward, linking arms with Qin Qin, and smiled fawningly: “Thank you, Qin Qin.”

Qin Qin felt a slight tingling on her back looking at Lin Mian’s expression. Lin Mian’s smile should be sweet like summer ice cream, not subtly chilling as it was now.

The closer she got, the stranger she felt.

Xia Jun had arrived a step earlier than the crew. After settling into the rural guesthouse, she reserved rooms for Lin Mian, Qin Qin, and Liang Manqing.

As Lin Mian was carrying her luggage and looking for the room number, Xia Jun opened the door across the hall: “Lin Mian, I reserved a room for you.”

Lin Mian paused: “Why are you here?”

Xia Jun took her luggage: “I wasn’t comfortable letting you come alone.”

Lin Mian frowned: “Xia Jun, why are you so annoying? I don’t want to. I have my own room.”

Xia Jun hadn’t contacted Lin Mian for a while. Lin Mian constantly kept her at arm’s length, speaking to her with great impatience.

Lin Mian hadn’t been like this before. Xia Jun had never seen Lin Mian angry. In her memory, Lin Mian never got angry.

Lin Mian pulled her luggage out again and found the room arranged by the crew a few doors down.

The room was a standard room with two beds, so they wouldn’t interfere with each other.

Qin Qin was busy unpacking her luggage. Lin Mian came in and started a conversation: “Qin Qin, don’t you think the countryside is creepy? It’s just early evening, but it’s completely dark, and there are animal noises. Aren’t you scared?”

Aside from her pheromone disorder, Qin Qin was rarely afraid of anything.

Qin Qin said unhurriedly: “The countryside is like this—lots of animals and insects. We have a mountain climbing scene tomorrow, and there are even more strange animals in the mountains.”

Qin Qin smiled: “Maybe a wild boar will rush out when you’re not looking.”

Lin Mian had intended to frighten Qin Qin and make her feel scared, but instead, she was spooked by Qin Qin: “No, that won’t happen. You’re thinking too much.”

Qin Qin shrugged: “Just reminding you.”

Their conversation was unpleasant. Qin Qin felt bored and wanted to go outside for a stroll. She picked up her phone and saw several texts from Liang Manqing.

Liang Manqing said she had booked a separate room for her and asked if she wanted to switch.

Since she would be staying in the town for about a week, a private room would be nice. Qin Qin glanced at Lin Mian, whose eyes coincidentally shifted away from her.

“Lin Mian, why were you staring at me just now?” Qin Qin turned off her phone screen and sat across from Lin Mian.

The atmosphere immediately fell silent, making the surroundings feel unnervingly still.

Lin Mian lay lazily on the bed: “Can’t I look at you?”

That look wasn’t just looking; it was staring.

The stare made Qin Qin’s hair stand on end. It was as if another person was looking at her from inside Lin Mian’s body.

Qin Qin felt a little cold. She definitely didn’t want to stay in this room with Lin Mian.

Qin Qin picked up her luggage, ready to leave. Lin Mian stopped her: “Where are you going?”

“I was just informed there’s an extra room available, so I’m moving there.” Qin Qin left without looking back.

Lin Mian watched Qin Qin’s retreating back. Deep inside, a soft, resolute voice warned her: “Don’t hurt Qin Qin. Don’t hurt anyone. Stay away from Jiang Hejing.”

The corner of Lin Mian’s mouth twisted into a cryptic smile: “What right do you have to command me? You’re just a puppet from my pen, a disobedient one at that.”

The rural guesthouse was surrounded by lush trees, and the moon and stars were exceptionally bright.

The black SUV was parked on the paved ground in the courtyard.

Liang Manqing sat in the car, looking up at the sky, thinking of her grandmother in her original world. She wondered if the old woman was doing well now.

The car window was tapped. Xia Jun stood outside.

Liang Manqing nodded toward her. Xia Jun, wrapped in cold air, got into the car. She didn’t have to ask; she knew Xia Jun had faced frustration with Lin Mian.

Xia Jun rubbed her forehead, her brows deeply furrowed: “Should I not have come today?”

Xia Jun had always had smooth sailing in her life, never experiencing setbacks in her studies or career. Yet, she stumbled constantly over Lin Mian.

Liang Manqing couldn’t stand Xia Jun’s depressed state: “Xia Jun, have you ever considered that Lin Mian didn’t just change her personality, but that her entire being changed? The Lin Mian in front of us is not the real Lin Mian.”

This was the second time Liang Manqing had said this. Before, Xia Jun would never have believed it, but now, she almost preferred to believe she wasn’t Lin Mian.

Xia Jun leaned against the seat, tired: “I’m starting to believe she isn’t Lin Mian.”

If she believed it, things would be easier. Liang Manqing turned her face to her: “Do you want to rescue the real Lin Mian?”

“Rescue her?” Xia Jun’s mind wasn’t working properly: “Rescue her from where?”

Based on Liang Manqing’s observations of Lin Mian, she had spoken to herself several times today, and her eyes when looking at people sometimes held malice and sometimes softness.

Liang Manqing guessed the soft part was the subconscious resistance of the real Lin Mian.

Liang Manqing voiced her theory: “I suspect Lin Mian is sharing her body with someone else.”

Xia Jun stared wide-eyed at Liang Manqing, chilled to the bone: “How is that possible…”

Although she was refuting it, she lacked conviction. Lin Mian had truly changed into a completely different person.

“This is my guess. If two people are sharing one body, we need to drive the other person out to save Lin Mian.”

Xia Jun still hadn’t processed it; her mind was frozen. She could hear Liang Manqing’s voice buzzing in her ear.

“Xia Jun?” Liang Manqing waved her hand in front of her eyes. Xia Jun took a deep breath and blinked: “I just heard the guesthouse owner say there’s a very effective psychic in the village. Maybe she can drive out demons and ghosts. I’ll go ask.”

Xia Jun stumbled out of the car. Liang Manqing didn’t even have time to stop her.

Forget it. It was understandable that Xia Jun couldn’t accept it right away. Let her go find the psychic. Maybe the psychic would be helpful.

Liang Manqing’s phone rang several times in the car. She saw the caller ID, gently swiped to answer, and Qin Qin’s soft voice scratched at her eardrum: “Dr. Liang, where are you?”

Hearing Qin Qin call her “Doctor,” Liang Manqing’s brow involuntarily twitched: “I’m outside. What’s wrong?”

The Omega’s voice on the phone sounded muffled: “The smell in the room is awful…”

The rural guesthouse was surrounded by many trees, blocking the sunlight. The rooms inevitably had a damp smell.

Liang Manqing hummed: “There should be an air freshener in the bedside cabinet. Light one up before you sleep. It should help a little.”

The other end of the phone fell silent. Only the faint sound of breathing transmitted. Liang Manqing checked the call, which hadn’t ended: “Qin Qin?”

Soon, Qin Qin whispered: “I want to smell Sister’s scent.”

The overly suggestive, spoiled tone made her ears flush. Liang Manqing rubbed her earlobe. After a moment, she opened the door and got out: “I’m coming.”

Qin Qin’s room was right next to Liang Manqing’s. Since they had a scene filming in the mountains early tomorrow morning, the crew staff had already gone back to their rooms to rest.

Liang Manqing first went back to her room to grab the clean sheets and duvet covers she had prepared.

Liang Manqing didn’t knock, sending Qin Qin a message instead: [Open the door.]

The door opened quickly. Qin Qin had just showered and put on a cartoon nightgown. Her hair was wet, and her eyes looked bright as she gazed at her: “Dr. Liang.”

Liang Manqing’s brow twitched again: “…”

The air in the room was stagnant and the smell was genuinely unpleasant.

Liang Manqing sent a text to Qian Haiye: [Prepare a RV and bring it over.]

Qin Qin rubbed her long hair and leaned in: “Dr. Liang, who are you messaging?”

Liang Manqing: “Qian Haiye. I have some work for him.”

“Oh. Do you want to shower first?” Qin Qin picked out a pair of pajamas for Liang Manqing.

The pajamas were cute. They looked adorable and lively on Qin Qin, but they wouldn’t have the same effect on Liang Manqing.

“I brought my own clothes.” Liang Manqing unzipped the travel bag. Her clothes, sheets, and duvet cover fell out. She stripped the guesthouse’s bedding and replaced it with her new set.

Qin Qin hadn’t expected Liang Manqing to be so thoughtful.

Liang Manqing made the bed quickly and neatly. Qin Qin wanted to help but didn’t know where to start.

She replaced the entire bedding set in less than three minutes.

Qin Qin said admiringly: “Sister, you are amazing.”

“You just need to master the technique for making the bed. It’s fast.” Liang Manqing patted the pillows, grabbed her change of clothes: “I’m going to take a shower.”

“Hurry up, I’ll wait for you.”

Liang Manqing felt her heart being strung along by Qin Qin. She looked at her and said: “You don’t need to wait for me, go to sleep.”

“No. I want to wait for you so we can sleep together.” Qin Qin’s slender fingers tugged at Liang Manqing’s hem: “I can’t sleep without Sister’s scent.”

Why is this Omega so clingy?

In the book, Qin Qin’s personality was decisive, not this delicate.

Everything changed after the transmigration; it seemed even the supporting female character’s personality had changed.

Liang Manqing looked deeply at Qin Qin, thought of a few things, and shook her head. After all, the Omega becoming soft and gentle wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The water pressure in the guesthouse shower kept fluctuating. Liang Manqing quickly rinsed off, changed, and came out in just five minutes.

Liang Manqing stood in front of the mirror, seeing the clear red mark on her neck. Her mind flashed back to Qin Qin’s moist lips biting her—the Omega’s tongue hooking her skin and gently sucking, hot and searing.

Liang Manqing swallowed hard, lightly touching the red mark with her finger.

When she came out, Qin Qin’s hair wasn’t fully dry, and her arm holding the hairdryer was trembling.

Liang Manqing took the hairdryer from Qin Qin and sat by the bed: “I’ll help you.”

The newly replaced sheets gave off a subtle, pleasant scent. Qin Qin lay on the bed, resting her neck on Liang Manqing’s thigh: “Sister, I’m so tired. Can you blow-dry it like this?”

Liang Manqing threaded her fingers through Qin Qin’s hair. The wind blew softly: “Since you’re already lying down, how can I refuse you?”

Qin Qin puffed out her cheeks and poked the red mark on Liang Manqing’s neck unhappily: “Sister, you’ve already been stamped by me, why are you still so reluctant?”

The obvious hickey had been concealed all day. Liang Manqing pinched Qin Qin’s mischievous finger: “Next time, you are not allowed to leave a mark on my neck.”

A hickey on the neck was visible to everyone, and last time, her mouth was bitten, which was also obvious.

Liang Manqing wondered what other mischief Qin Qin would get up to next.

“If not on the neck, then where should I mark you?” Qin Qin’s gaze slid down from her neck, stopping at her full chest.

Liang Manqing covered Qin Qin’s eyes with her palm: “Nowhere at all.”

Qin Qin: “Mhm… No.”

After the trauma of the previous life, Qin Qin was determined to leave marks on what belonged to her.

If Liang Manqing wouldn’t let her mark her, she wouldn’t accept it. She was determined to leave a hickey on Liang Manqing.

Qin Qin moved Liang Manqing’s hand from her eyes: “Sister, your opposition is invalid.”

The Omega was not only clingy but also seemed to have stronger possessiveness.

Liang Manqing set down the hairdryer and compromised again, extending her arm: “Mark here?”

The Alpha’s arm was long and strong, with clear veins visible up close. Her skin was fair—tempting enough to bite.

But Qin Qin didn’t want to mark there. She got up from Liang Manqing and lay down in the bed: “I’ll wait until the hickey on your neck disappears, then I’ll mark you. It’s not too late.”

Liang Manqing chuckled softly, not thinking much of it: “Go to sleep. We have to wake up early tomorrow.”

She turned off the main lights, leaving only a night light on.

The light was dim and yellowish, illuminating their figures.

Qin Qin lay on her side in the bed and patted the empty space beside her: “Dr. Liang, come sleep here.”

Liang Manqing lifted the covers and lay down, maintaining some distance from Qin Qin.

Qin Qin scooted closer: “Dr. Liang, why are you so far away from me?”

“I’m not far away from you,” Liang Manqing turned to look at her: “The bed is small. Aren’t you cramped?”

“It needs to be small,” Qin Qin burrowed into Liang Manqing’s embrace, wrapping her arms around her waist. The smaller the bed, the better to cuddle.

The soft, fragrant Omega pressed close. The scent of the little rose drilled into her heart. Was Qin Qin unguarded toward people, or just toward her?

Liang Manqing wasn’t a saint. She pulled back slightly: “How am I supposed to sleep if you hug me?”

As the Alpha moved away, the pleasant tequila pheromones moved away too.

Qin Qin clung to her waist regardless: “Dr. Liang, if you move again, I’ll make you help me with the treatment.”

As expected, Liang Manqing stopped moving immediately, allowing Qin Qin to shrink into her embrace.

Qin Qin’s eyes curved in a smile: “Dr. Liang, you moved.”

Liang Manqing: “Go to sleep.”

Qin Qin: “No, you moved. I need Dr. Liang’s treatment to sleep.”

The Omega’s skin was as smooth as milk.

“Qin Qin…” Liang Manqing’s neck instantly flushed red, and her whole body was burning up.

Qin Qin leaned close to Liang Manqing’s ear and mumbled something.

Liang Manqing’s ears turned even redder.
