After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 31

“Oh-woah.” Qin Qin bit into the white, soft cotton candy: “Mmm, it’s too big. My mouth can’t handle it all.”

Liang Manqing looked up and saw that the cotton candy was being squeezed and deformed by Qin Qin’s hands as she tried to force it into her mouth, but the uncooperative candy kept oozing out between her fingers.

Qin Qin refused to lose. She loved the cherry-flavored cotton candy the most, and she was determined to eat every bit of it.

“That’s enough…” Liang Manqing sat up on the bed to stop her: “Stop eating. We’re home.”

“Hmm?” Qin Qin looked up from the sweet candy: “Wait a minute, I’ll go back after I finish eating this.”

After saying that, she buried her head back down, meticulously and diligently consuming the candy.

“Qin Qin…” Liang Manqing tapped Qin Qin’s chin with a bent finger, wiping away the moisture at the corner of her lips: “Just have mercy on me.”

Qin Qin licked her lips and compromised: “Alright then. I’ll take my time eating it tonight when we get back.”

Liang Manqing sighed as she got out of the car with her luggage: “Qin Qin, can you just be good?”

“What part of me isn’t good…” Qin Qin got out of the car, sighing. Why was eating cotton candy so difficult?

Qian Haiye quickly came over to take the luggage, and Aunt Tao also came out to welcome them: “Manqing, Xiao Qin, you’re back.”

Liang Manqing: “We’re back.”

“You both look quite thin. I’ll cook some delicious food for you to replenish tonight.”

“Thank you, Aunt Tao.”

Qin Qin: “Thank you, Aunt Tao.”

Aunt Tao looked at Qin Qin, seeing she seemed unhappy: “What’s wrong, Xiao Qin? Did someone bully you?”

“No.” Qin Qin glanced at Liang Manqing and deliberately said: “Manqing wouldn’t bully me. She just won’t let me eat cotton candy.”

Aunt Tao smiled: “Manqing, if Xiao Qin wants to eat it, just let her.”

Qin Qin agreed, nodding along: “Yeah, it’s not like I eat it every day.”

Liang Manqing walked over, covered Qin Qin’s mouth, and led her upstairs: “Stop talking nonsense.”

Liang Xue ran down the stairs: “I want cotton candy too! Do you have any for me?”

Qin Qin couldn’t help but smile, her eyes curved.

Liang Manqing looked at Qin Qin’s mischievous expression and pinched her cheek: “She’s asking you, do you have any?”

“Mmm…” Qin Qin’s cheeks were squeezed into a puff. She said to Liang Xue: “No, I don’t. I’ll bring some next time.”

Liang Xue groaned: “But I want to eat it now.”

Liang Manqing stared at Liang Xue with a stern face: “Liang Xue, have you finished your homework? All you think about is eating.”

The innocent victim, Liang Xue, blinked: “What’s wrong with me wanting cotton candy? Is that not allowed?”

“Not allowed.” Liang Manqing didn’t want to continue the topic of cotton candy and returned to her room with her suitcase.

Qin Qin rubbed her cheeks. Did I go too far with the joke and make Liang Manqing angry?

Liang Xue tilted her head, looking at Qin Qin: “Teacher Qin, are you and Liang Manqing making progress? She actually pinched your face just now, which is pretty affectionate.”

Does progressing to eating cotton candy count?

Qin Qin patted Liang Xue’s head: “You can consider changing your address later. Don’t call me Teacher Qin anymore.”

“Change my address?” Liang Xue snapped out of her confusion and shock: “Sister-in-law?!”

“Ah… no.” Qin Qin: “I’m not your teacher anymore. Just call me Sister.”

“Sister.” Liang Xue called out sweetly. She had never called Liang Manqing Sister before, despite being her younger sister.

Qin Qin replied: “Good girl.”

Liang Manqing leaned against the door frame, smiling as she asked: “Liang Xue, when are you going to call me Sister?”

“No. That’s weird.” Liang Xue shook her head repeatedly: “You don’t have the temperament of a sister.”

“I… don’t?” Liang Manqing looked at Qin Qin: “Don’t I?”

Qin Qin suppressed her laughter: “Who knows? Maybe your sisterly qualities haven’t been developed yet.”

Liang Manqing didn’t understand. Qin Qin moved closer, her long eyelashes fluttering: “Sister, I can help you develop them.”

Liang Manqing suddenly choked on her words: “Actually, I don’t really want Liang Xue to call me Sister.”

“That’s great then.” Qin Qin moved in closer: “Only I can call you Sister.”

Liang Xue looked at the two of them, acting mysteriously: “What are you two talking about? Is there something I’m not allowed to hear?”

The next second, Liang Manqing turned Liang Xue’s head with her hand: “You’re not my younger sister. Why should you hear it?”

Liang Xue huffed angrily and went downstairs: “Fine, I don’t want to hear it. I’m going to school to find Teacher Xiao Cheng.”

Liang Manqing called after her: “Wait a minute, isn’t today a holiday?”

Liang Xue replied without looking back: “Teacher Xiao Cheng is tutoring me.”

Liang Manqing: “When did you become so enthusiastic about tutoring?”

Qin Qin: “Did you notice? Ever since Lin Cheng became Liang Xue’s teacher, her motivation to study has been particularly high.”

Liang Manqing recalled that it seemed to be the case. Lin Cheng also often praised Liang Xue for her academic improvement.

As long as Liang Xue was willing to study, getting into university would be the best possible outcome.

“Xiao Qin, a box arrived at the house. It seems someone named Shi Jia sent it.” Aunt Tao carried a box from the storage room, just as Qin Qin received a message from Shi Jia.

Shi Jia: [Did you receive the body lotion from the brand? Test both scents for half a month. If they work well, I’ll accept the promotional deal for you.]

Now, brands were proactively seeking collaboration with Ten Best Entertainment. Qin Qin immediately agreed: [I’ll start using them tonight.]

Opening the box, she found the body lotions were a relatively niche product on the market. Qin Qin searched for reviews online. Everyone who used them praised them highly, with almost zero negative reviews. However, the brand was poor at marketing, so sales were not optimistic.

Qin Qin seemed to be the first promotional ambassador the brand had sought out.

Qin Qin decided to use them on a trial basis. If they were truly good, she would be happy to promote them.

That evening, after showering, Liang Manqing was sketching designs in her study.

Ever since taking on the project for the Leaving Fragrance crew, her studio had gradually gotten on track. Not only did she gain more partners, but many people came in for interviews every day.

The first thing Liang Manqing wanted to do after returning from the town was catch up on work. The client’s deadlines couldn’t be delayed.

The desk in the study was large. Liang Manqing was focused on her drawing when her foot brushed against something on the floor. She looked down and saw several paintings that had been hidden there earlier.

Liang Manqing always found it strange that her body would become very uncomfortable when she got close to these paintings. Her head would feel fuzzy, almost suffocating.

Just as Liang Manqing was hesitating whether to open the box again, a knock sounded on the study door. Qin Qin’s voice came through the door.

“Sister, may I come in?”

Liang Manqing withdrew her gaze: “Come in.”

When Qin Qin pushed the door open, she brought in a faint fragrance, different from the little rose scent—it was clear and subtle.

Liang Manqing looked up: “What do you need?”

“Mhm, can’t I look for you if I don’t need anything?” Qin Qin pretended to be disappointed, then placed the two bottles of body lotion she brought on the desk and said: “I actually do need something.”

Liang Manqing saw the body lotion and remembered Shi Jia telling her about the promotion deal Qin Qin accepted. This half-month was the trial period, but: “What do you need me to do?”

Qin Qin leaned against the edge of the desk. Her long, slender finger gently tapped the surface: “The body lotion comes in two scents. I can’t use both bottles by myself. Can I try one, and you use the other?”

Liang Manqing: “I’ve never used body lotion.”

Qin Qin: “Are you saying you don’t know how to apply it?”

“I’m not used to it…” Liang Manqing never used such products after showering; she just put on clothes. Besides, her skin was quite good, so she didn’t feel the need for them.

Qin Qin frowned slightly, looking troubled: “Sister, please just treat this as helping me with the trial. I really can’t use both bottles alone.”

Liang Manqing: “Alright…”

Liang Manqing was certainly supportive of Qin Qin’s first endorsement promotion.

“That’s great! I’ll apply it for you now.” Qin Qin said, opening the body lotion lid and squeezing a bit into her palm.

“No need, I’ll apply it myself later.” Liang Manqing stood up from her chair, but Qin Qin pushed her back down: “Sister, sit still. I’ll apply it for you, just in case you forget when you go back.”

Liang Manqing was wearing a bathrobe, tied at the waist. With a gentle tug from Qin Qin’s finger, the bathrobe opened halfway.

Liang Manqing gripped her bathrobe, feeling awkward: “I should go change first, then apply it.”

“How can you apply it if you’re wearing clothes? Sister, are you perhaps shy?”

Qin Qin smiled, seeing Liang Manqing look nervous and blush: “Where should I start applying it first?”

The air conditioning in the study was set quite high. Liang Manqing only wore a bathrobe and still felt hot. She rolled up her sleeves, exposing her forearm: “Start here, then. I’ll apply the rest later when I go back.”

“If Sister says so, I’ll start with your arm.” Qin Qin rubbed the body lotion between her palms. Once softened, she began applying it to Liang Manqing’s arm.

Liang Manqing cooperated by extending her arm. The fragrant, silky body lotion was spread onto her arm.

After the lotion on her palm was applied, only the sensation of their skin rubbing remained. Qin Qin rubbed her arm a few more times: “Sister, your skin is lovely, so smooth and firm. I don’t want to let go of it.”

Liang Manqing’s heart rate sped up. She looked at Qin Qin, silent for a few seconds: “You’re done applying it. I’ll take these things back to my room…”

“Sister, why are you in such a rush?” Qin Qin’s voice was drawn out: “I haven’t finished applying it yet.”

Qin Qin had no intention of letting Liang Manqing go back to apply it herself: “Sister, you just continue working. I’ll leave once I’m done applying it.”

Who could possibly continue working now?

Liang Manqing watched Qin Qin squat down, starting to apply the lotion to her lower leg and moving upward.

The Omega’s expression was extremely serious. With every inch her hand moved up, Liang Manqing held her breath and scooted back a little. Her voice was slightly shaky: “That’s enough. You don’t need to go any further up…”

Qin Qin circled Liang Manqing’s slender ankle, pulling it closer. The office chair underneath Liang Manqing obediently slid forward: “Qin Qin, what are you doing?”

Liang Manqing’s heart fiercely skipped a beat. A clear red mark appeared on her white skin.

Qin Qin looked up and smiled contentedly: “Sister, this is today’s mark.”
