Daily Life Of A Socially Anxious Scumbag Alpha Raising Flowers - Chapter 2

Wen Xin came out of Dr. Qiao’s office with her face flushed red, then rushed off to pay the medical fees. But when she saw the deduction message on her phone and the remaining balance afterward, her entire person went unwell.

No money and no source of income meant she had to go work, had to go outside, had to interact with people.

No…

The moment that thought rose in her mind, she rejected it from the bottom of her heart.

Lost in wild thoughts, Wen Xin walked all the way to the hospital room door before carefully putting away her pained expression. After struggling with herself for a long time, she still entered lightly and quietly.

Dong Xun was already awake. She was lying on her side, her back facing the door.

But Wen Xin still clearly saw that when she came in, those impossibly thin shoulders on the bed flinched.

The room was not quiet. The neighboring bed belonged to an elderly patient, and today, the younger generation of the family had come to visit. Even with the curtain between them, the sound of their chattering conversation could still be heard. Yet on the other side of that curtain, silence flowed between the two of them.

Wen Xin did not know how long she sat quietly on the chair beside the bed. Her gaze fell lightly on one corner of the white bedsheet, and her lashes trembled twice before she finally gathered the courage to apologize.

“I’m sorry…”

This time, the figure curled up under the blanket did not move.

But Wen Xin knew she had heard it.

She did not say anything more.

There were some things that were useless to say with words alone. She still had to prove them through actions.

…

Dong Xun was soon able to be discharged.

When Wen Xin was handling the discharge procedures, Qiao Yimu called her over for another talk.

Clearly, she was worried that after Dong Xun was discharged, Wen Xin would escalate the domestic violence even further.

“Your actions have already seriously endangered the personal safety of your Omega partner. As a citizen of this country, I have an obligation to supervise such vile behavior. I will report this to the Omega Protection Association. Even if this cannot cause you any substantial losses, the association’s routine home visits and investigations may affect your reputation, Miss Wen, especially when it comes to work…”

At this point, Qiao Yimu’s voice paused. Her gaze fixed steadily on Wen Xin. After clearly seeing nervousness appear in the other party’s micro-expressions, she felt slightly reassured.

What she feared most was that the other party truly was some hooligan who had no workplace, did not care about her reputation in society, and was like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

After all, everyone knew that the current Omega Protection Association had long since deviated from the original purpose behind its establishment many years ago. This charitable organization could no longer properly fulfill its duties. Instead, it had become a tool for a group of useless parasites to amass money. As long as someone slipped them a little cash, those people would turn a blind eye to Omegas who had been devastated by domestic violence, or else keep one eye open and one eye closed, muddling through with perfunctory gestures.

Seeing that Wen Xin still seemed to have some reservations, Qiao Yimu knew that the situation had not yet reached the worst possible point.

Something like the Omega Protection Association sounded like trouble just from the name alone…

While Wen Xin felt a headache coming on, she used the last bit of her courage and strength to try to save herself.

“Dr. Qiao, please don’t report it… I promise I absolutely won’t do this kind of bastard thing again. If you’re worried, I can give you my workplace and address information. You can come verify what I said today at any time.”

Compared with an organization like the Omega Protection Association coming to investigate, she would rather accept Qiao Yimu’s supervision. At the very least, she could clearly tell that Dr. Qiao was a good person with a sense of social responsibility. She was not the original owner, nor would she do the same things as her. As long as Dr. Qiao saw that she sincerely regretted it, naturally, she would not trouble her again in the future.

Wen Xin’s expression looked anxious and sincere. She had a pair of slightly round, large eyes, like a puppy’s. When she stared straight at someone, she looked both pure and innocent, her eyes wet and glossy. Paired with her face, faintly red from embarrassment, anyone would unconsciously soften and believe her words.

Qiao Yimu also fell into a brief trance. In her heart, she thought that this scumbag Alpha had been born with a rather good-looking face.

But her face showed no change. She continued to maintain that serious expression.

“Fine. Then I’ll believe you for now.”

Before leaving the hospital, Wen Xin followed the doctor’s prescription and went to buy medicine for Dong Xun. When Qiao Yimu saw that there was no unwillingness on her face, the anger in her heart faded a little more.

Compared with the many Alphas everywhere who could not bear to spend money on medicine for their Omega partners and instead cursed their partners for being useless enough to end up in the hospital, Wen Xin seemed, perhaps, not quite beyond saving.

Even so, Qiao Yimu still took advantage of the moment when Wen Xin was not there to leave Dong Xun her contact information, then quietly reminded her, “If you need help, you can contact me through your smart terminal. I’ll help you as much as I can.”

What she gave Dong Xun was her private identity communication code, not the hospital’s public communication code.

“Thank you.”

Dong Xun’s weak voice was still hoarse. Although she clearly knew that no one in this world could pull her out of the mire, her gratitude was still filled with complete sincerity.

As a doctor, Qiao Yimu had truly done many things in this hospital that were not necessary parts of her job.

This was not the first time she had offered extra help to a patient like Dong Xun. She had even brought retaliation from some Alpha family members upon herself several times because of it.

Those people came to the hospital and cursed Qiao Yimu for meddling in other people’s business.

Even her colleagues said she was asking for trouble.

But every time, Qiao Yimu neither agreed nor disagreed. She only smiled faintly and let it pass. She did not know what meaning there was in doing these things. She simply did them because she wanted to. Even if the effect was only a drop in the bucket, it was still better than doing nothing.

Wen Xin and Dong Xun’s departing figures grew farther and farther away.

Because Dong Xun’s leg was injured, it was not very convenient for her to walk. Wen Xin carried the medicine in one hand and carefully supported her with the other.

That posture actually made it seem as if she had truly turned over a new leaf.

Qiao Yimu watched for a long time before turning back. Her eyes were still icy cold.

All crows under the sky were black. As long as someone was an Alpha, they were basically all the same: naturally arrogant, selfish, crude, and disgusting… It was an inherent defect brought by their genes.

But in today’s society, how many Omegas could escape their tragic fate?

Even someone as rebellious and unconventional as herself…

In the end, didn’t she only look slightly less pitiful?

Qiao Yimu touched the inhibitor collar around her neck and gave a silent, bitter smile.

After returning to the unfamiliar home, Wen Xin first placed the bag of medicine and the vegetables and fruit she had bought in advance on the table.

She wanted to let Dong Xun go into the room to rest. But the moment she thought of how Dong Xun had had the chance to commit suicide before because of her negligence, she immediately gave up on that idea.

“I’m going to cook for you. Could you wait in the living room for a little while?”

Wen Xin had already tried her best to make her voice gentler, but her socially anxious nature still made her instinctively avoid meeting the other person’s gaze. Because of that, her lowered eyes did not see Dong Xun’s reddened eye corners or the watery light in her eyes.

She picked up the things and went into the kitchen. Before turning away, she even specially reminded her, “Don’t… don’t run around. Just sit in the living room and wait for me.”

Dong Xun, who had been far too quiet from beginning to end, curled her bony fingers, then loosened them weakly.

The thing she had always feared had finally come.

Last night, she had used a book on the table to hit Wen Xin, injuring the corner of her forehead.

There was no way Wen Xin was not angry.

She knew Wen Xin was going to use that game from before to punish her again…

And she did not even have the right to die.

In the small living room, which no longer looked dirty and messy after Wen Xin had cleaned it inside and out, beneath the incandescent light made less bright by dust, Dong Xun’s face was as pale as paper.
