After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 15

【…Are you very fond of Mu Yi?】

“No, I am not.” Chi Huan denied resolutely. After a while, she asked, “In this situation, should I do something?”

【What do you want to do?】

Chi Huan thought: “Rush down and question her about who that woman is, make a dramatic scene, cry, threaten to hang myself, and slap her twice before she can react… that sort of thing.”

The System was eerily silent. It quickly processed the information using its operational program.

The proposed behavior was somewhat reasonable, but there was a strange feeling about it.

It felt like this suggestion was heavily influenced by some personal vendetta…

Well, it couldn’t really be a personal vendetta. After all, her only interaction with Mu Yi, all told, was during that one game, and that was the extent of their intersection. Otherwise…

They were essentially strangers. If Mu Yi hadn’t looked like Lu You, Chi Huan wouldn’t recognize her if they met on the street.

【That’s acceptable.】 The System finally agreed.

Yay, yay, yay! It’s the long-awaited fighting scene! Just as Chi Huan got excited, the System poured cold water on her.

【However, the Host is advised to know when to stop and not go too far.】

“Why? Just because she’s the protagonist, I can’t hit her?”

This is infuriating! Is the Daughter of Destiny gilded with gold, and we cannon fodder can’t even touch her?!

The System said calmly: 【Because Mu Yi started learning Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) at the age of five, she already has a black belt in Taekwondo, and last year she attended a field army summer camp. If things get serious, I’m worried about the Host’s well-being.】

Chi Huan: “…She’s not an Omega?”

What kind of Omega starts learning Sanda at age five?

【Take a guess who an Omega would learn all that to defend against?】

Me.

Pah! Definitely not me!

Chi Huan pouted: “Well, forget it then.”

She abandoned the idea of asking the driver to stop, getting out, and “catching the cheater.” She honestly shrank back in the rear seat, considering what film would be best to pass the time tonight.

The films here were slightly different from her original world, featuring many highly rated classics, perfectly suited for long nights.

—To stop the System from constantly saying her acting is stiff!

Chi Huan resolved to binge-watch the global top 100 most tragic films, determined to launch an attack on the Oscar for Scumbag Alphas!

Before her thoughts settled, the car suddenly emitted a sharp screech and slammed on the brakes. Chi Huan was caught off guard, and her face made intimate contact with the back of the front seat.

“What happened?” Chi Huan pulled her face away, rubbing it as she asked the driver.

“President Chi, the car seems to have broken down.” The driver turned back, sweating profusely.

Chi Huan: “…”

She slowly turned her head to look at the “forest” a few hundred meters away, then slowly turned back, her face blank.

—My bad luck has absolutely nothing to do with Lu You’s mood level, does it!

—It’s purely because I’m too close to these two protagonists!

—Help me!!

Her thoughts miraculously synchronized with Zhao Shu’s from five minutes ago.

—These two people are fated to clash with me!

…

Mu Yi led the person next to her, pushing through the crowded flow of people.

Around the corner, there was a milk tea shop. Perhaps because the corner was too secluded, business was slow, and it seemed relatively quiet.

Mu Yi led her inside.

“Mumu,” the girl held her milk tea and leaned close to her, “Why did you suddenly walk so fast?”

Mu Yi remembered seeing the Chi family car parked on the roadside just now and hesitated whether she should tell her about it.

“Mumu, tell me.” The girl insisted on asking.

Mu Yi paused, then decided to keep the matter quiet for now. She changed the subject: “What did you just call me?”

“Mumu!”

Mu Yi choked: “You’ve become too skilled at being an Omega!”

The girl said carelessly: “Haven’t you become skilled at being an Alpha? Wait, even when you were an Omega, you didn’t act like one!”

Mu Yi said: “I can’t help it. It’s just my innate personality.”

The girl sighed dramatically:

“Sigh, you don’t understand. The pressure I faced when I pursued you was enormous. Several times I felt like I was breaking through societal norms to engage in a shocking AA-love relationship with you.”

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Mu Yi’s arm, rubbing against her intimately, and looked up at her.

“It’s so much better. Even though you became an Alpha, I became an Omega. We can be together again.”

Mu Yi looked at her for a moment and sighed: “Silly.”

Just as the girl was about to refute, the crowd outside suddenly surged.

“Hey, why are you pushing? With so many people, have some manners!”

“Exactly! Who stepped on my foot!”

The previously tranquil and refined atmosphere vanished. Someone was charging through the crowd, their eyes scanning like electricity, finally stopping at the milk tea shop.

“Mu Yi!” A earth-shattering roar.

Mu Yi turned around at the sound, unexpectedly meeting a face she had tried hard to avoid.

“…Chi Huan?” she called out hesitantly.

As soon as the name “Chi Huan” was spoken, before Chi Huan could react, the girl next to her instinctively trembled.

Mu Yi noticed her reaction. The complex feelings in her heart dissipated, and she affectionately squeezed the girl’s hand.

Chi Huan rushed into the shop, her beautiful face tight with tension: “Aren’t you supposed to be abroad studying?”

Mu Yi spoke softly to the person beside her for a few words. When she looked up, the warmth in her eyes instantly vanished. She looked at Chi Huan with extreme indifference.

“Does it matter to you where I am?”

“Of course it does!” The moment you come back, my car breaks down! How dare you say it doesn’t matter!

Mu Yi’s expression was unfathomable. After a moment, she gave a faint, meaningful smile:

“Even ‘Chi Huan’ doesn’t have the right to manage me like that, let alone you?”

Chi Huan froze. What did Mu Yi mean by that?

“Some things, if they aren’t yours, they aren’t yours. Even if you briefly got hold of them by luck, they will never truly belong to you.”

After saying this, without waiting for Chi Huan’s reaction, she took the hand of the person beside her, brushed past Chi Huan, and left without looking back.

Chi Huan spun around abruptly, only catching sight of their retreating backs.

The girl beside Mu Yi did look back at Chi Huan twice, but her expression was quite strange—neither kind nor malicious.

“Um… Madam, can I please, please, please ask what you would like to order?” The employee, who had wisely retreated behind the counter when Chi Huan entered, tentatively poked his head out and whispered.

They thought it was a shop vandal, but it turned out to be a relationship drama.

The employee was enjoying the drama immensely.

The drama was over, and business had to resume. If she wasn’t buying anything, she needed to leave quickly.

The person’s imposing entrance was terrifying, wuwuwu…

Chi Huan didn’t even notice what kind of shop it was. Since she was rich, she instinctively said:

“Wrap up your most expensive items for me. I’ll take all of it.”

The employee: “Huh?”

Half an hour later, Chi Huan, who should have been heading home, appeared downstairs at her company… carrying a dozen cups of milk tea.

Zhao Shu and the driver were also each carrying a dozen cups.

Chi Huan covered her face in distress: “You guys share the milk tea. I’m leaving first.”

Zhao Shu’s face was ashen: “President Chi, how about we go up together?”

She didn’t want to be embarrassed alone.

Chi Huan, the newly appointed capitalist, slowly turned her head and asked: “Or you can drink all of it yourself.”

She’d rather be embarrassed then. Zhao Shu nodded emphatically: “I’ll go distribute the milk tea immediately.”

“Go ahead!” Chi Huan patted her shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t tell them I bought it, though~”

Zhao Shu: “…”

The water of West Lake, my tears.

“I’ll give you a raise!” Chi Huan promised.

Zhao Shu: “…”

And so, five minutes later, Zhao Shu, carrying dozens of cups of Mixue Bingcheng (a popular, inexpensive chain), marched onward with the grandeur of sharing vintage red wine, distributing the milk tea.

“Sister Zhao Shu, why the sudden milk tea treat? Is President Chi giving you a promotion and a raise?”

Zhao Shu said deeply: “No. I just suddenly understood the pain of Consort Yang.”

Colleague: “???”

Zhao Shu sighed, feeling utterly weary: “A prosperous era needs beautiful women to adorn it; a doomed kingdom needs beautiful women to take the blame.”

No, that’s not right. She wasn’t Consort Yang. She was Dou E.

Consort Yang was at least a Consort, draped in gold and jade, surrounded by maids in life, and dearly missed by the Emperor for a long time after her death. What did she have?

She could only gaze at her steadily increasing salary to soothe her sorrow.

After all this commotion, the sun was already setting when Chi Huan arrived home.

Zhao Shu had been dragged around with her for so long. Chi Huan felt a little apologetic and planned to ask her to stay for dinner, but as soon as Zhao Shu heard the invitation, she fled without even grabbing her bag.

Chi Huan looked at the deerskin clutch in her hand with worry.

Never mind. It’s inconvenient to make her come back for it. She can just get it when she remembers.

Chi Huan convinced herself and lay back on the sofa, activating “lazy fish mode.”

“System, Brother System, are you there?”

【I am.】

“Did you hear what Mu Yi said earlier? I think she might know my identity.”

You just figured that out? the System thought. She might have known a month ago.

“Will there be any consequences if I’m exposed by someone in the book?”

【Yes.】

Chi Huan grew tense:

“Then what should I do? By the way, do you Systems have a System Store or something? I remember the Systems in novels usually have that feature.”

The System answered succinctly: 【Yes.】

Chi Huan sat up abruptly: “Then why didn’t you say so sooner? How do I use this store? Do I exchange props for tasks?”

The System was utterly exhausted. It simply opened the detailed description page of the System Store and let her read it herself.

“…This store can provide all the items you desire. Players can obtain points by completing hidden missions… Item prices… Sweet Dream Realization is 10,000 points, Forgetfulness Potion is 20,000 points… Sincerely offered, good quality and cheap price, welcome to purchase?”

As Chi Huan read, her expression gradually twisted. She pointed at the store page and demanded:

“Good quality and cheap price? Does it have some misunderstanding of the words ‘good quality and cheap price’? And hidden missions? Do only hidden missions give points? Were all the missions I completed for nothing?”

【Yes. The energy you obtain from completing main and side quests only guarantees your survival in this world. If you want extra rewards, you must unlock hidden missions.】

“Then how do I unlock hidden missions?”

【Currently unknown. Hidden missions require the Host to explore independently.】

【Speaking for this System, I have currently gone through 106 Hosts, and none have successfully unlocked a hidden mission.】

Finally, the System asked: 【So, why would I tell you about the System Store?】

I tell you, but you can’t afford it anyway.
