After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 6
As soon as the words fell, Qin Cen froze, a faint pink blush coloring her pale cheeks.
Liang Manqing slammed the brakes: “Liang Xue, what nonsense are you talking about? Sit properly and don’t speak again.”
Qin Cen covered the red mark on her collarbone with her hair. Her skin was fair and delicate; the slightest touch would leave a red mark. That patch of skin was red from when she vigorously rubbed off the lipstick mark last night.
Liang Manqing focused on driving: “Teacher Qin, children like to talk randomly. Don’t take it to heart.”
Qin Cen turned her head to look out the car window: “I don’t argue with children.”
Liang Xue observed their reactions, slightly raising an eyebrow: “Still pretending.”
The hand gripping the steering wheel tightened. Liang Manqing knew that the original owner’s sister was rebellious and naughty. Now, it seemed she was more than that; she was also reckless with her words, blurting out whatever she wanted.
Liang Manqing looked at the girl’s grinning reflection in the rearview mirror and a thought struck her. She should give the child a dose of humility to cure her loose tongue.
The Liang family villa was in the center of C City. Only the father and two daughters lived there, and visitors were rare. Even Liang Jinshan rarely returned home.
Liang Xue threw her bag to the housekeeper, Aunt Tao, as soon as she entered: “Aunt Tao, I’m hungry.”
Aunt Tao had worked for the Liang family for many years, and the Liang family treated her like a relative. Aunt Tao was especially fond of Liang Xue: “Xiao Xue, go take a bath. The chicken soup I stewed for you will be ready soon.”
“Yay! Chicken soup!” Liang Xue kicked off her Martens boots and was about to leave when she was grabbed by her ponytail: “Ahhhhhh!!!”
Liang Manqing walked in and tugged Liang Xue in front of her: “Line up your shoes.”
Liang Xue was in pain and unhappy: “Aunt Tao is here. Why do I have to do it?”
“Manqing is back.” Aunt Tao was happy: “I’ll line up the shoes. You two sisters go upstairs to rest. I’ll call you when the food is ready.”
Liang Xue glared with her heavily made-up eyes, looking defiantly at Liang Manqing: “I won’t do it.”
“You have to do it even if you don’t want to.” Liang Manqing found Liang Xue’s appalling makeup unbearable and pressed her head down: “Line them up, and then I’ll let go.”
Under pheromonal suppression, Liang Xue was no match for Liang Manqing. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and neatly arrange the scattered shoes.
Liang Manqing let go at the right time. Liang Xue’s face was flushed red, and she stomped her foot in anger: “Aunt Tao, tonight’s chicken soup is all mine! I need to drink lots to grow strong!”
Aunt Tao readily agreed.
Qin Cen wondered inwardly: “If you’re so forceful, will Liang Xue really listen to you?”
Liang Manqing picked out a new pair of slippers and placed them by Qin Cen’s feet: “Wasn’t she very obedient just now?”
Qin Cen: “…”
Liang Manqing changed her shoes and looked at Liang Xue’s room. She recalled that in the book, Liang Manqing and Liang Xue disliked each other, often fighting and bickering, with Liang Xue losing every time. If Liang Manqing suddenly changed her attitude now and became gentle, Liang Xue would likely be the first to become suspicious, so it was better to maintain the original way of interacting.
Sibling bickering was quite fun, too.
Liang Manqing looked thoughtfully at Qin Cen and said: “A mix of firmness and gentleness will make Liang Xue obedient. However, I’ll be responsible for the ‘firmness’; the ‘gentleness’ part is up to you.”
Qin Cen frowned: “I’m only responsible for the studying. Besides, I’m not gentle.”
Liang Manqing chuckled: “I think you’re quite good at it, Teacher Qin.”
When Liang Manqing said this, her eyes twinkled, and Qin Cen was momentarily lost, feeling that she had a hidden meaning.
The Liang residence was large, with a Chinese-style décor that exuded an ancient charm everywhere.
It was unexpected, however, that both of the Liang family daughters were so rebellious.
Liang Manqing went upstairs, found a set of hairdressing tools, and knocked on Liang Xue’s door. Liang Xue was sitting at her desk, struggling to take apart her messy dreadlocks.
Liang Manqing slowly walked over: “Do you need my help?”
Liang Xue looked up, saw the tools in Liang Manqing’s hand, and her eyes widened: “Liang Manqing, don’t mess with my hair.”
Liang Manqing smiled and said: “Can’t you take it apart? What’s wrong with your older sister helping you?”
Liang Xue felt a chill down her spine. She scrambled and rolled off the bed: “Stay away from me!”
Liang Xue was reckless, impulsive, and didn’t hold back her strength, accidentally bumping into Qin Cen, who was standing in the corridor.
Qin Cen staggered back a few steps, her shoulder hitting the corner of the wall. She let out a muffled gasp, her face instantly turning red.
Liang Manqing heard the noise and came out, seeing Qin Cen leaning against the wall, frowning, her eyes slightly red.
Liang Manqing asked nervously: “What’s wrong? Did she hit you?”
Qin Cen slightly shook her head, enduring the pain: “I’m fine, it was my own fault.”
Liang Manqing stared hard at Liang Xue: “Tell me, what happened?”
Liang Xue pouted: “How would I know she was standing outside?”
Qin Cen recovered slightly: “Don’t blame her. I’m okay.”
Liang Xue knew she was in the wrong and went back to the room to get the first-aid box: “Sorry, Teacher Qin. Let Liang Manqing put some ointment on you, or you’ll blame me if it turns red and swells.”
Liang Manqing: “Teacher Qin, I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up.”
Qin Cen shook her head: “I’m not that delicate.”
Omegas were inherently more fragile than Alphas. Moreover, Qin Cen had just been discharged from the hospital due to her pheromone condition, so her body was naturally more delicate than other Omegas.
Liang Manqing kept these thoughts to herself: “Remember to tell me if you feel unwell. Don’t try to endure it.”
Qin Cen nodded: “When do we start tutoring?”
Liang Manqing looked at Liang Xue, her eyes narrowing slightly, with a hint of deterrent power: “Go wash your face, untangle your hair completely, and then come for your tutoring.”
Liang Xue casually mumbled “oh” and went back to her room to wash her face and continue untangling her dreadlocks. Her hair was thick and heavy, and she only made it messier.
Qin Cen looked at her: “Your technique is wrong. Untangling dreadlocks requires skill.”
Liang Xue groaned painfully: “Teacher Qin, can you do it?”
“I’ve learned a bit. I can try.”
Qin Cen opened the hairdressing kit, selected a suitable tool, and began helping Liang Xue take apart her braids.
Qin Cen’s technique was gentle and meticulous, yet swift. The dreadlocks were quickly undone, revealing Liang Xue’s original hairstyle.
Liang Xue rubbed the top of her head with both hands, sighing comfortably: “Finally, I’m relaxed. Those braids were so heavy, and Liang Manqing grabbed me twice today. I was so frustrated.”
Qin Cen curled her lips: “Actually, your current hairstyle suits you very well. You look very cute.”
Liang Xue had a short bob cut. After washing off her smoky makeup, her face was youthful and tender, looking like a seventeen-year-old high school student should.
Liang Xue puffed out her cheeks: “I don’t want to be cute.” It was precisely because she looked younger than her peers, had less strength, and her cheeks were fairer and smaller than a palm that she wanted to dress more maturely so other Alphas wouldn’t laugh at her.
Qin Cen looked around the room: “Liang Xue, don’t you have any textbooks in your room?”
“My textbooks are all at school. I never bring homework home.” Liang Xue smiled: “Teacher Qin, I’m very stupid. Studying is a waste of time. Why don’t you tell Liang Manqing that you can’t teach me? Then she won’t force me.”
A faint sense of loneliness was in Liang Xue’s carefree tone. She was different from Liang Manqing. Even though Liang Manqing was idle and unpromising, she still got into a prestigious school. Liang Xue couldn’t. Her grades were the lowest in her grade. She was afraid of working hard and getting nothing in return, so she decided not to try at all from the beginning.
In any case, the Liang family was her safety net. She wouldn’t starve even if she didn’t go to university.
Qin Cen’s eyes flickered: “I’ve taught students who were even dumber. Besides, Liang Xue, have you even tried?”
Liang Xue bit her lip, not speaking. Qin Cen seemed to see right through her: “It’s not too late to say you’re stupid after you’ve tried.”
“…” Liang Xue was momentarily stunned: “Teacher Qin, I thought you would comfort me.”
Qin Cen’s words were very direct: “I’m not good at comforting people, and I don’t know how to comfort people.”
Qin Cen didn’t like to act spoiled. Even when in pain, she would stubbornly say she wasn’t. She never had anyone to be spoiled with when growing up. No one comforted her when she was sad or injured, so she didn’t know how to comfort others.
Liang Xue felt the same way. She wasn’t good at comforting others and was even afraid of comforting people.
Compared to comfort, Qin Cen’s direct questioning seemed more effective.
Liang Xue showed her pearly white teeth as she laughed: “Teacher Qin, I think your personality is quite suitable for Liang Manqing. Liang Manqing is the type who responds to force, not gentleness. No one who ever tried to act spoiled with her since childhood succeeded. Every time I acted spoiled, she would hit me instead. When she was sad and I tried to comfort her, she would even say I was disgusting.”
Liang Xue got angry remembering the past: “Teacher Qin, don’t you think she’s too much?”
Qin Cen pursed her lips: “I don’t know. I’m not familiar with her.”
“Ah?” Liang Xue blinked: “I thought you two were…”
Liang Xue touched her two index fingers together: “That kind of relationship.”
“No, I’m just the private tutor she hired.” Qin Cen was very serious about everything she did, and she spoke those words with great earnestness.
Liang Xue shrugged: “That’s a pity. But I guess it makes sense. Liang Manqing doesn’t deserve you. She’s not as good as I am. She has countless Omegas around her, Teacher Qin. Please don’t fall for her.”
Liang Manqing and Liang Xue, the two sisters, caused Liang Jinshan endless worry. One was constantly partying and enjoying life, and the other was lazy and skipping class every day. Neither of them was easy to deal with.
Qin Cen didn’t know much about Liang Manqing, but hearing Liang Xue’s description, she felt that Liang Manqing shouldn’t be as bad as she said.
As for whether Liang Manqing had other Omegas around her, that was not her concern.
Meanwhile, Liang Manqing was visiting the original owner’s home for the first time after transmigrating. She looked around the Liang residence to familiarize herself with the environment. When she returned to Liang Xue’s room, she happened to hear Liang Xue say that she didn’t deserve Qin Cen.
Liang Manqing didn’t object. The original owner indeed didn’t deserve Qin Cen. Liang Xue wasn’t wrong to say that.
Liang Manqing knocked on the door: “Liang Xue, are you talking bad about me?”
Liang Xue quickly hugged a pillow to shield herself: “How can you eavesdrop on others!”
“Your door wasn’t closed. How can you blame me for hearing?” Liang Manqing walked in slowly and casually, glanced at Liang Xue, and chuckled: “You look much more well-behaved like this. I almost can’t bear to hit you.”
Liang Xue casually threw a pillow at her: “You wouldn’t dare!”
Qin Cen stepped back, watching the two bickering and roughhousing with a touch of envy, feeling that their relationship wasn’t as bad as it seemed.
Liang Xue threw the pillow carelessly and ran around mischievously, bumping into Qin Cen’s shoulder.
Qin Cen took a step back, rubbing her shoulder which was slightly sore from the earlier bump against the wall corner.
Liang Manqing noticed Qin Cen’s discomfort, told Liang Xue to go play elsewhere, and led Qin Cen back to her room.
Liang Manqing closed the door and said: “Let me see if the bruise is bad.”
In the enclosed space, the room seemed to have the scent of tequila pheromones.
Wrapped in Liang Manqing’s Alpha pheromones, Qin Cen rarely showed tension: “No need. It was just a bump.”
“If it was just a bump, would it hurt you so much?” Liang Manqing gently rubbed Qin Cen’s brow: “Your brows are all furrowed in pain.”
Qin Cen’s heat period hadn’t passed yet. With a touch from the highly pheromone-matched Liang Manqing, her body slowly grew hot. A restless urge surged from deep within her, desperate for the Alpha’s pheromones to soothe her.
The back of her neck gradually weakened, and Qin Cen softly panted.
Liang Manqing pushed the hair on Qin Cen’s shoulder aside and asked: “Was it your left shoulder that got hit just now?”
Qin Cen bit her lip and hummed in confirmation, wanting Liang Manqing to come closer to her.
Liang Manqing carefully pulled down Qin Cen’s left shoulder sleeve, revealing her slender, fair shoulder. There was a red patch on her upper back, likely from hitting the corner of the wall earlier.
Liang Manqing opened the first-aid box, dripped a few drops of medicated oil into her palm, rubbed it until it was warm, and then gently massaged the reddened skin on Qin Cen’s back.
Liang Manqing: “Apply some medicine, and it shouldn’t hurt tomorrow.”
Her palm was very warm, seemingly reaching the limit of the Omega’s endurance.
Qin Cen’s fair skin gradually turned red, and a soft moan escaped her throat. She seemed unable to stand steadily and started to fall.
Liang Manqing caught her from behind, wrapping one arm around her waist to keep her from falling.
The little rose scent wafted from her nape. Liang Manqing noticed something was wrong: “Miss Qin?”
Last night, Qin Cen’s body was in unbearable pain, and all the inhibitor medication in her house was ineffective. She ended up taking a cold shower all night until morning.
Now, she was so sensitive during her heat period that she couldn’t tolerate even a slight touch from Liang Manqing, crying out for Alpha soothing.
Liang Manqing carried Qin Cen to the bedside: “Miss Qin, can I help you?”
Liang Manqing had mentioned in the car that she was willing to be her medicine. Qin Cen didn’t say anything, and now, Liang Manqing wanted to get Qin Cen’s consent.
Sweat soaked her body, and the inner itch was unbearable.
Qin Cen bit her lip for a long time before saying just two words: “Give it.”
