Daily Life Of A Socially Anxious Scumbag Alpha Raising Flowers - Chapter 17

After the outer packaging was opened, there was an insulated box inside.

It was made from a new material of this era, and its heat-retention and cold-preservation effects were very good.

Wen Xin had not been stingy either. After carefully comparing it, she found that this kind of insulated box had a much better preservation effect than an insulated bag. The instructions said it could keep temperature for nearly eight hours, so if she sent the little cake within the same city, the cream definitely would not melt.

Since it was rare for her to send out prizes, Wen Xin did not want the final result to be unsatisfactory after delivery and leave behind regret instead.

So when Chen Ke opened the insulated box, under the cold storage, the cream on the cake was still visibly fresh.

Because it was spring now, Wen Xin had deliberately designed the colors to be fresh pink and green. She had also thought of the last time they went to the tulip garden to admire flowers, so she specially decorated the green cake with a few little blossoms. It was simple yet beautiful, like a minimalist oil painting of spring. It almost made one unable to bear destroying it.

Inside, there was even a thoughtfully included little metal spoon shaped like a flower.

Exquisite and cute, full of childlike charm.

There was also a note placed inside the box, with precautions personally written by Wen Xin.

[Dear, after opening the insulated box, please make sure to eat it as soon as possible. Continuing to store it is not recommended! If you really can’t finish it for the time being, please remember to refrigerate it.]

Although there was no signature, just from the tone of this message, Chen Ke knew who had sent it.

She suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Cozy Flower-Raising Daily Life seemed to have held some kind of lottery event. At that time, she had still been very willing to support that blogger and had not felt the disgust she did now, so she had filled in her information and joined the lottery.

She had not expected to really win.

In that instant, Chen Ke truly felt a little stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The little cake in front of her was not a virtual holographic image, but real food that she could genuinely see and touch. Yet just now, in her heart, she had secretly made up her mind that she would absolutely not let this money-hungry Omega manipulate her…

After struggling for a few seconds…

Chen Ke ultimately still failed to resist the temptation.

She picked up the spoon and gently scooped up a bite of cake.

A light, sweet flavor filled her entire mouth. The delicate, gentle texture melted on the tip of her tongue. The double layers of cheesecake and matcha were very rich, and the lime flavor perfectly neutralized the sweetness and richness of the cream.

Chen Ke fell in love with this flavor from the very first bite.

In truth, sweetness was a very common flavor. Nutrient fluids and fruit juices all had sweetness, and the people in the group chat who loved the taste and texture of food itself usually ate fruit and vegetables too, tasting sweetness from the ingredients themselves.

But this food called cake had a sweet fragrance that was extremely direct and domineering. It almost exploded the instant it entered the mouth, without any transition. Yet when one savored it carefully afterward, one could taste that this sweetness was not monotonous. The additional sweetness brought by its layers was an even more stunning flavor. This sweetness seemed as if it could be transmitted directly to the brain, giving people a sense of pleasure.

How could the people of this simple-meal world have ever eaten such finely made delicacies as cakes and desserts?

It was a very small cake. It felt as if it would disappear after only a few spoonfuls.

Chen Ke could barely bear to eat it. She carefully savored the lingering aftertaste.

Then she reopened her smart terminal and followed the account Cozy Flower-Raising Daily Life again.

She saw the private message Wen Xin had sent her earlier that she had not seen, and also saw the screenshots posted by other winning netizens in the comment section. Every single person who received a private message had been addressed with “dear” at the start.

There were clearly several winning netizens who had also been shocked and uncertain at first. Only after comparing messages with others did they discover that Wen Xin’s private messages were obviously all the same. It should be a template.

Everyone was also roasting it in the comment section.

[Who taught this Omega to use a template like this?]

[You call other Alphas by such an intimate address. Won’t your Alpha partner get angry?]

[Can some Alphas please stop being so self-important and thinking the whole world only has Alphas, okay? There are also us Omegas. An Omega calling us Omegas like this has absolutely no problem at all. Looks like the blogger only wants Omega fans!]

[Sorry, there are three genders in this world. Please don’t forget us Betas.]

…The comment section once again began arguing anytime, anywhere, in ways big and small.

Before Wen Xin logged on, she had thought she would receive lots of praise. After all, she had spent the whole day making those desserts, packaging them, and mailing them out!

But the moment she logged on, she saw these arguing comments. The sky practically collapsed.

Help. I really didn’t know your ABO world was this conservative, that even “dear” counted as an intimate address…

Wen Xin’s eyes widened roundly, full of confusion. She turned to look at Dong Xun and complained with some grievance.

“Why didn’t you remind me?”

Dong Xun blinked. There was even a fleeting flash of amusement in her eyes. “I thought you knew. It’s common sense, after all. Sorry, I forgot you lost your memory. I just didn’t expect you to forget even these things. These people only took you for an Omega. You’re an Alpha… so the situation probably isn’t that bad.”

Wen Xin’s eyes widened even more. She felt that Dong Xun had become a little bad.

But right now, she had no time to “accuse” Dong Xun. Instead, she hurried at top speed toward the comment section to explain on the scene.

Cozy Flower-Raising Daily Life: [I’m very sorry. My wording was improper and may have caused everyone some misunderstandings. I didn’t mean anything else. The address “dear” was only meant to express politeness TwT…]

In truth, the netizens had mostly guessed that was the case. After all, she had used that address indiscriminately for everyone.

Someone felt very curious and followed up under the comment section: [Why does it feel like the blogger is really lacking in common sense? Could she be some rich young lady living in an ivory tower, innocent of the world and very well protected?]

[That doesn’t seem right either. Even a rich young lady would definitely have private tutors, right?]

[The background of the blogger’s home in the videos… doesn’t look like she’s rich.]

Some more hostile netizens felt that Wen Xin was doing it on purpose and could not help making sarcastic remarks: [I think I know the answer. The blogger definitely never went to school, right?]

When Wen Xin saw this comment, she could not help touching her nose. She indeed had never gone to school here.

But the original body had gone to school, so she definitely could not say that.

Therefore, she could only honestly reply: [Sorry. I accidentally lost my memory some time ago. I only remember my own name and don’t remember whether I went to school or not. I saw photos in my home from up to high school, so I probably did go to school. But I didn’t find any photos from university, so I probably didn’t go to university.]

She explained seriously, properly, and with complete earnestness.

[She really, I’m crying to death.]

[No, girl, aren’t you maybe a little too good-tempered…]

One had to know that this kind of sarcastic comment was completely baiting a fight. Basically, if it were anyone else, they would already have started arguing by now. Yet Wen Xin actually explained in such a pleasant tone, which truly had already reached the limit of what the Alphas in this world could tolerate.

Even as an Omega, her temperament was a little unusually soft.

Just looking at the comment section, where arguments between Alphas and Omegas happened every day, one could tell that Omegas online were basically full of resentment.

[Such an emotionally stable Omega. Want to date!]

The netizen who had posted the sarcastic comment was also momentarily speechless.

No, where did this fool come from? Could she not tell good words from bad?

Wen Xin was currently counting on this account taking off so she could stay at home full-time and make self-media content. How could she yell at the viewers? Before deciding to do this line of work, she had already mentally prepared herself in advance. It was definitely impossible for her to make everyone like her. Especially since food preferences were a very subjective thing. In her previous world, even up to now, there were still many people tirelessly arguing over whether sweet or salty tofu pudding tasted better!

Scolding and negative comments were all normal. Useful suggestions could be accepted. As for unreasonable insults, just do not take them to heart. Wasn’t that enough?

What was more, Wen Xin, with her straight-line brain, could not tell at all that the other person had actually been mocking her.

So she even replied to that netizen: [Thank you for your support! I now know that I can’t use this kind of address, so I won’t use it again in the future! -v-]

Sincerity was the best counterattack.

The other side went completely silent.

Wen Xin cautiously stopped using sentence particles like “oh” and “ah,” and she did not dare use wave marks either.

The netizens even felt a little unused to it for a moment.

It seemed like using “dear” as an address really did make her attitude feel good, huh…

They could even imagine the Omega on the other side speaking to them in a soft tone.

So cute…

Cozy Flower-Raising Daily Life: [Right! There’s also one very important thing! I need to clarify something. I’m an A!!!]

Seeing that the entire comment section was full of Omegas, Wen Xin suddenly felt that she needed to clarify this. It could also prevent more Alphas from sending her private messages…

[?]

[?]

[No, is this right?]

[You’re an A, so why is your speaking tone so sticky and cute?]

[You’re lying, right? As an Alpha, you don’t even look as A as your wife in the video.]

[Maybe her wife is a Beta…]

The Alphas who had always thought Wen Xin was an O were a little emotionally shattered.

Cozy Flower-Raising Daily Life: [My wife is indeed an Omega. What about it?]

Wen Xin was the one who was actually a little emotionally shattered. “They said I don’t look like an A. Where don’t I look like one?”

She turned her head to look at Dong Xun, her eyes full of disbelief.

“The kind of A they talk about has nothing good about it. That so-called A energy is nothing but arrogance, conceit, and recklessness as personality traits.” Dong Xun answered very seriously, “I don’t like people like that. You’re very good the way you are.”

That meant she liked someone like her, then…

Wen Xin’s heartbeat quickened, and she swiftly dodged Dong Xun’s gaze. She seemed calm and unruffled as she gave an “oh,” but in reality, the tips of her ears hidden under her hair had already quietly changed color.

A tiny bit of excitement and unconscious joy leaked out from the tip of her heart. A little flower quietly grew there. With no wind blowing, it still could not help swaying left and right in happiness.

Cozy Flower-Raising Daily Life: [My wife praised me and said I’m very good like this! Do any of you have a wife to praise you?]

[…]

[Family, I want to unfollow.]

[Me too. Ever since finding out this is an A, even the way she talks feels a little cheap. I want to beat her up.]

[Damn it. It would’ve been better if she hadn’t said anything. That way, I could still imagine she was actually a sweet, obedient little O, giving off a fragrant scent… Great. Now my fantasy has shattered.]
