Foolishly Flirting with the White Moonlight Leads to Being Marked - Chapter 20.2

Yan Qingqiu found it very hard to describe them with words. Terms like gorgeous or seductive were actually not suitable for describing these paintings.

Song Qingre walked around and stood beside the armrest of the sofa, helping her turn a page. “There’s more later.”

Without realizing it, the two of them had gotten very close. Yan Qingqiu narrowed her eyes as she looked. Then she suddenly reacted and said angrily, “Why didn’t you just say they were lewd pictures?! Why say something like Spring Viewing Inside the Car?”

Song Qingre even deliberately said seriously, “Please do not profane the beauty of art. What I paint is all art.”

Yan Qingqiu was completely dumbfounded. She wanted to refute her, but unfortunately, she could not even write the character in “trembling like chaff,” making her seem uncultured. “Don’t even think about it. I won’t let you paint me!”

Song Qingre only smiled.

Yan Qingqiu tentatively asked, “You haven’t painted this kind of thing before, have you?”

“I painted it once. Later, I stopped.”

“Why?” Yan Qingqiu was a little curious.

Song Qingre said, “Because I couldn’t appreciate it from an artistic perspective. I would always look at it with eyes full of desire, which made me feel very vulgar.”

Yan Qingqiu felt a little sad listening to that. As someone without much artistic sense, she did not really understand what Song Qingre meant. She lifted her head to look at her. “Who did you paint?”

The person discussing art laughed softly and said rather mysteriously, “I won’t tell you.”

“Tch, stingy.”

Yan Qingqiu asked again, “Then where’s the painting?”

Song Qingre also said, “Secret.”

The more she refused to say, the more curious Yan Qingqiu became. She ground her teeth. “Would it kill you to say it?”

Song Qingre did not directly kill off her curiosity either. She bent down slightly, resting her hand on the sofa armrest, and lowered her head to look at the person in front of her. Her voice began to tempt her. “We can exchange secrets. If Qiuqiu has any secrets she can trade with me.”

“Hmph.” Yan Qingqiu guessed that Song Qingre wanted to know about her fierce Omega identity. Yan Qingqiu absolutely would not say it, so she turned around and continued looking at the art album.

While they were chatting, the butler came over.

Song Qingre reached out to take back her own art album, but Yan Qingqiu refused to return it. Remembering how Song Qingre had teased her just now, she planned to directly occupy the album for herself.

··

After breakfast, the doctors arrived. Quite a few cars stopped in the courtyard.

Originally, they were going to set up tents in the courtyard, but September was still hot, and by ten o’clock, once the cars came in, the sun was already unbearable. The butler simply had them move to the swimming pool at the back, where there was better shade. The more private examinations that needed to avoid light were arranged in the small side hall of the living room.

He arranged everything very properly. Yan Qingqiu stood at the courtyard entrance, watching anxiously until her head hurt. Seeing the white-coated doctors set up the instruments one by one, she wished she could go up and ask them one by one, “Hello, are you the gland doctor? Shall we have a private chat?”

Seeing her stare so intently, the butler thought she was impatient to prove her Alpha identity. He walked over and gently soothed her anxiety. “Miss, don’t worry. It will be your turn soon.”

That voice was practically like entering a demon’s hell, making her panic so much she wanted to scream. The more she looked at the butler, the more she felt something was wrong. He had been turned, right? The butler had definitely been turned.

Yan Qingqiu said, “I’m just looking. I didn’t say I wanted to be examined first. What if the first examination isn’t accurate?”

“It shouldn’t be,” the butler said. “Everyone here is a professional doctor.”

“What if? Nothing like this is one hundred percent certain.”

The butler pondered for a moment and had to admit that what she said made some sense. He said, “I’ll go remind the doctors later to treat you more seriously and give you a few extra checks.”

“…”

That was really not necessary!

The butler very responsibly went around reminding them one by one, making all the doctors remember to be especially serious with their young miss.

Yan Qingqiu could not help stomping hard. When she turned around, she nearly bumped into someone. She first stepped back, then saw that it was Song Qingre. Song Qingre looked at her with a half-smile, so Yan Qingqiu directly bumped into her again.

Song Qingre did not retreat either and let her bump over. Her fingers pinched Yan Qingqiu’s waist to stop her. “Miss Omega… please be a little careful.”

Yan Qingqiu pressed her lips together, wanting very much to kill someone.

The two of them were in a stalemate when Su Xingjie arrived by car.

After getting out, Su Xingjie saw Yan Qingqiu looking as if she wished Song Qingre would die and even wanted to directly grab a knife and act. Previously, Su Xingjie had always had the illusion that Yan Qingqiu had been swapped out. Now, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sister, you’re finally back.

Su Xingjie called out to her, “Qiu-bao, I’m here!”

Yan Qingqiu turned around and wanted to leave, but Song Qingre pinched her waist hard and pulled her back. She said, “Do you want to test whether your waist strength is strong enough to push away an Alpha like me?”

“Demon power? I think you’re the demon! A newly transformed demon! Let go of me.” Yan Qingqiu pushed hard several times but could not push her away at all. She was so angry.

Why was being an Omega so weak!

Song Qingre was amused by her wording and could not help laughing softly. She spared Yan Qingqiu this once, though she glanced once more at Su Xingjie beside them.

Su Xingjie felt chilled by her gaze. Su Xingjie had come specifically after learning that Yan Qingqiu’s family was doing physical examinations. It just so happened to save her a hospital trip next time.

At first, Yan Qingqiu had been very worried about her coming, afraid that if she failed to appease the doctor, she would not only socially die inside the villa, but socially die in front of everyone.

But later, inspiration struck, and she thought of a new plan.

Yan Qingqiu had just been about to speak when, after taking a few steps, she hissed.

“My waist… my waist…”

“What happened?” Su Xingjie hurried over to support her.

“Song Qingre made my waist hurt.” Yan Qingqiu lowered her head and rubbed it.

Su Xingjie felt her brain become impure. It was one thing that Yan Qingqiu’s voice had gone hoarse a few days ago. Now even her waist was not working. She asked softly, “Aren’t you an Alpha? A fierce A close to SSS-level? Why would your waist hurt?”

Sister, this question really puts me in a difficult spot.

Yan Qingqiu said, “She sneak-attacked me. She has no martial virtue.”

“That is pretty hateful.” Su Xingjie glanced at Song Qingre and reached out to support Yan Qingqiu. The two walked inside, and she asked, “Do you want me to rub it for you?”

“It’s fine, no need. It’ll get better soon.” Yan Qingqiu brought her inside. The house had provided quite a lot of fruit. Yan Qingqiu took some fruit for Su Xingjie and carefully looked over the house once, confirming where the gland doctor was.

The butler came over to call her, saying everything had been arranged. Yan Qingqiu did not move. She said, “Let Auntie and the others do it first. Later, once it gets hot, it’ll be exhausting to wait. Besides, can’t you see I’m happily chatting with Xingxing?”

Since she put it that way, the butler did not ask further and let the aunties working at home go for the checkup first. Yan Qingqiu watched closely, trying to determine whether the gland doctor was easy to talk to.

The gland doctor had been arranged in the room near the side hall. One person after another went in for examination. According to the aunties, the doctor was a bit serious, but not fierce.

“Xingxing, help me with something,” Yan Qingqiu said softly.

“Mm? Tell me.” Su Xingjie nodded.

“Later, help me get the gland doctor’s contact information.”

Su Xingjie frowned. The way she looked at Yan Qingqiu became strange, and she asked seriously, “Why do you want the doctor’s contact information?”

“What are you thinking? I’m not so desperate that I’d even want to flirt with a doctor.” Yan Qingqiu had already expected she would misunderstand and explained, “Isn’t Song Qingre also an Alpha? I’m an Alpha too. What if the examination shows her level is higher than mine? If she finds out, won’t she laugh me to death?”

“You’re so A that ordinary people can’t even smell your pheromones. How could she be higher than you?” Su Xingjie was a little unconvinced and felt that Yan Qingqiu was worrying unnecessarily.

“What if? I can’t lose to her.” Yan Qingqiu’s tone was serious.

Su Xingjie did not think too much anymore. She nodded. “Later, I’ll get checked before you, then directly ask for it. But speaking of your pheromones…” She developed a tiny bit of suspicion, biting into the cut fruit. “I Baidu-searched it a few times afterward. Online, they say there’s never been anything like being so A that there’s no scent. Those without scent seem to be Betas.”

“Baidu lies. Do you trust Baidu or me?”

Yan Qingqiu had also wondered why Su Xingjie believed such a clumsy excuse. The moment one heard it, it sounded fake. Later, she thought about it. Su Xingjie liked blindly protecting her. Everyone differentiated at seventeen or eighteen. Back then, they were all young. If she fooled Su Xingjie a little, it was normal for Su Xingjie to believe her.

“Right. It’s precisely because it has less and less scent that I’m unsure. What if having no scent is a disadvantage? Xingxing, I’m so scared and panicked.” Yan Qingqiu quickly showed weakness. Su Xingjie looked at her with pity and no longer overthought it. “It’s fine. Don’t panic. You have me. You have to trust the doctor’s ability. If it really isn’t good, just make the doctor not reveal it. I’ll go tell her.”

Yan Qingqiu nodded. “Thank you, darling.”

“Mm.” Su Xingjie’s heart felt sweet.

Smiling, she saw Song Qingre leaning against the door.

Su Xingjie met her gaze once. Song Qingre did not speak and only looked on quietly. Her lashes were very long, and when they lowered, she always looked rather gloomy.

This woman—ever since the first day Su Xingjie had met her, she had felt that Song Qingre was not gentle and held hostility toward her. It had been fine when they were studying, but later, she became more and more fierce. Now she did not even hide it anymore.

With Su Xingjie’s help, Yan Qingqiu no longer had to hide. If Song Qingre stared at her, then let her stare. She had her sister’s protection. Then looking again at Su Xingjie’s figure, Yan Qingqiu felt that if she became as full-figured as her after becoming an Omega in the future, that would not be unacceptable either.

Yan Qingqiu smiled. “Helping is helping, but you’re not allowed to honey-trap her. A peerless beauty like you, really, no matter who you’re with, it would be a loss.”

“You’re always praising me.” Su Xingjie felt shy and tugged at the clothes on her body.

She could not help recalling when they first met. They had been friends since middle school. Because Su Xingjie developed early, even before differentiating into an Omega, her figure had already begun developing toward one. Back then, when children were bad, they could chill adults to the bone. They often made fun of Su Xingjie regardless of occasion. Every day, Su Xingjie went to school wishing she could wrap herself up like a rice dumpling, lowering her head and hunching her back, not daring to let others see.

Once, during a big cleaning day, others deliberately splashed water on her, specifically drenching her chest, and even deliberately closed the window glass, locking her on the windowsill. She stood on the windowsill, unable to move at all, while everyone laughed at her like she was a monkey.

Su Xingjie was so helpless she could not even cry.

At that time, she and Yan Qingqiu were not familiar. They had merely been in the same class and assigned to wipe windows together. When Yan Qingqiu heard about it, she did not laugh at her like everyone else. She directly jumped down from another window and opened it, then used dirty water from washing rags to splash the boys laughing at Su Xingjie, and she helped curse them too. Later, she took the initiative to become friends with Su Xingjie, brought her along to play, teamed up with her for activities, and did not hold back in praising her beauty, saying she was pretty, saying she was as beautiful as a model, a natural beauty. No matter who in the class differentiated into an Omega, none of them would be as beautiful as her.

Back then, apart from the older sister one grade above her, Yan Qingqiu often had another sentence on her lips: “Xingxing is so beautiful. I’m reluctant to take her out and show her to others! Stars all hang in the sky. Ordinary people can’t even pluck them down.”

Over time, everyone in the class began envying Yan Qingqiu, thinking she had a top-grade Omega as a friend. They all felt Su Xingjie would definitely become a high-level Omega in the future. High-level Omegas were very rare. Once the hormones of puberty burst forth, many pretty girls and boys in school turned around and pursued her.

But also over time, Su Xingjie became unwilling to play with others. She only liked playing with Yan Qingqiu and grew colder toward everyone else. Sometimes she felt those people pestering her were annoying to death, always feeling that they delayed her from playing with her good friend.

Later, when Yan Qingqiu differentiated into an Alpha, Su Xingjie felt it was completely natural. Yan Qingqiu was so amazing and brave. She was a born Alpha! Was it not normal that her scent could not be smelled?

··

The Yan family had been imperial merchants in their ancestry and were very rich. One could say they had never been poor.

The family villa was huge, so there were naturally many servants. After such a checkup, nearly an hour passed. The butler came to call her again.

This time, Yan Qingqiu did not dawdle. She let Su Xingjie do the examination first while she merely followed. She first ran to the swimming pool area and did the other examination items, leaving the gland examination for last. She stood outside the door and did not go in.

The butler held a tray and came over to deliver tea to the doctor. He asked, “Miss, are you still not doing it?”

“What do you mean still?” Yan Qingqiu was not very satisfied with his wording.

The butler said, “Just now, Miss Song made a bet with me. She said you definitely still wouldn’t do the physical examination this time.”

“You fool, she’s using reverse psychology. I’ll go in later. Hmph, what can she do to me? She’ll be furious.” As she said that, she patted Su Xingjie’s shoulder. “Xingxing, you get checked first. Go.”

Su Xingjie quickly went in. Yan Qingqiu stood outside waiting. Looking at Song Qingre, who was still watching her from over there, she said, “There’s a difference between AA. What’s wrong with her going in first?”

Very quickly, Su Xingjie came out and gave her a look. Yan Qingqiu went in again, and Song Qingre also followed. Song Qingre said, “There’s no difference between AA, right?”

Yan Qingqiu was still a little uneasy. Why had Su Xingjie come out so quickly? She messaged Su Xingjie to ask. Su Xingjie replied: [It’s all settled. The doctor agreed not to give your information to Song Qingre. Just go in.]

Yan Qingqiu: [ok!]

She stuffed her phone into her pocket and continued the checkup.

The gland doctor was an older-sister type doctor. There was only one chair in the examination room. Seeing the two of them come in, the doctor specially gave up her own chair. She changed gloves after every examination. Song Qingre stood beside them, looking at the record forms, and it was unknown whether she understood them or not.

Yan Qingqiu walked over with her neck stiff.

The doctor brushed aside her hair and first touched her neck twice. She had read Yan Qingqiu’s identity before and directly asked, “Alpha?”

Yan Qingqiu immediately nodded. “Yes, yes, yes, yes.”

The doctor did not speak and touched her twice more. She lowered her head to look at Yan Qingqiu and said the word again, only this time in a very uncertain tone. “Alpha?”

Yan Qingqiu had specifically asked the previous doctor before. The doctor had said the external appearance of glands was the same, but someone experienced could tell the difference with a slight touch.

“This gland of yours, is it…”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Yan Qingqiu agreed in one breath, not giving the doctor a chance to say it out loud, and hinted that she herself was an Omega. Do not expose me. Whatever you say is right.

“Were you not previously…”

“I was previously too!” Yan Qingqiu agreed in one breath. Yan Qingqiu suddenly thought of a question. Previously, the family had also had doctors for physical examinations, yet “she” had pretended to be an Alpha and had never been discovered. So strange.

She shrank her neck and said she was ticklish. The doctor withdrew her fingers. Yan Qingqiu carefully turned to look at the doctor. The doctor was frowning and looking at her with confusion.

Yan Qingqiu guessed that she might be thinking: why was a Beta pretending to be an Alpha now about to become an Omega…

Yan Qingqiu nervously swallowed, hoping the doctor would be a little smarter.

The doctor carried a head full of confusion and went to look at Song Qingre.

She revealed the expression of someone who had practiced medicine for many years but was now doubting her own medical skills. She called Song Qingre to sit down too, put on gloves again, and checked Song Qingre. Song Qingre sat on the chair, her posture straight. The doctor similarly touched her. “You’re an Alpha, right?”

Song Qingre quickly leaned her body back. She spoke first to break the stalemate. “Doctor, when you examine both of our glands, could you… change gloves in between?”

The doctor looked at her, then at Yan Qingqiu.

Song Qingre’s fingers were interlaced. She still seemed calm, but her finger joints were stretched tight, her thumbs pressing against each other. The doctor had touched Yan Qingqiu’s gland and then came to touch hers. It was like a bee smearing freshly gathered honey onto a flower stamen.

The doctor looked toward Yan Qingqiu and said, “She…”

Yan Qingqiu quickly interrupted, “Her name is Song Qingre.”

She kept staring at the doctor. The doctor nodded in understanding. The doctor said, “The situation with you two is a little beyond my expectations.”

She had thought they were two Alphas. Unexpectedly… mixed in there was an Omega currently differentiating. She had nearly doubted herself.

The doctor said, “I changed gloves just now.”

She looked toward Yan Qingqiu’s gland. Just now, it should have secreted pheromone fluid. Even ordinary gloves could not block it. One could imagine how high Yan Qingqiu’s level would be after differentiation.

She was probably the first SSS-level Omega in history.

“You two can’t be examined together. Miss Song, go inside first and take a scan.” The doctor changed gloves again and carefully examined Yan Qingqiu’s gland. “How long has it been? Don’t lie. If something happens later, you may not be able to bear it.”

At this point, there was no need for Yan Qingqiu to lie. She turned her head to see that Song Qingre was still being examined, calculated the days, and lowered her voice very softly. “Forty-nine days.”

“It’s already reached the mature stage.” This doctor was clearly even more professional than the previous one and directly said, “You weren’t an Alpha before either, right?”

Yan Qingqiu was frightened to death, terrified Song Qingre would hear.

The doctor guessed her concern and was quite mindful of her privacy. She lowered her voice and said, “This won’t do. You’ve almost finished differentiating. If a high-level Alpha hooks you a little, it will immediately speed up your mature stage.”

Yan Qingqiu wanted to cry. “Please, keep it secret. Keep it secret.”

The doctor said softly, “But you need to do examinations, and you need to take some medicine to suppress it. If I had checked Miss Song first just now, you might… have been carried into the hospital today.”

Yan Qingqiu panicked. “The previous doctor said I didn’t need to be too sensitive.”

“That was because you hadn’t reached the mature stage yet. Now you’re already secreting pheromone fluid. I’m not trying to scare you, but right now, if any Alpha bites you and injects even a little pheromone into you, you could lose control on the spot and beg them to mark you. How can you be so unaware of how to protect yourself?”

Yan Qingqiu froze. Three days ago, she did not have pheromone fluid yet!

As they spoke, the sound of a door opening could be heard.

Song Qingre came out from inside and looked at Yan Qingqiu. She did not say anything. The doctor entered the room with Yan Qingqiu and performed the examination.

The examination report came out immediately.

The doctor looked at her. “When the time comes, ask your friend for my number.”

Yan Qingqiu was so moved she nearly cried on the spot. “You really are a good person.”

“It’s fine.” The doctor held the scan and looked it over repeatedly, then used a cotton swab to dab some of Yan Qingqiu’s gland fluid. “I’ll take this back and test it. I’ll notify you if anything comes up. Don’t be too nervous.”

“I know.” Yan Qingqiu quickly came out.

Song Qingre looked at her empty hands. “Where’s your examination report?”

“The doctor said I’m too A. So A that the report will come out later. She even tested it just now. Ai, too A.” Yan Qingqiu smiled without blushing at all. “You didn’t need testing, right?”

The door was not closed tightly. The doctor inside, who was tidying things up, heard this and nearly choked.

The nurse asked, “With her like this… won’t she be exposed?”

The doctor said, “What do you think? Even through changed gloves, that Alpha was rubbed into a reaction. It would be a ghost story if Miss Song didn’t know. She’s probably afraid of embarrassing her in front of so many people, so she didn’t say anything.”

The nurse was stunned. “That Omega who came in and opened her mouth by offering us hush money, didn’t she say Yan Qingqiu was an Alpha?”

Doctor Qiao recalled Su Xingjie’s serious expression and the way she had taken out the card, then smiled. “That one… probably really thinks she’s an Alpha.”

The nurse had truly had her eyes opened today. “…Can there be a reaction like that even through gloves?”

“Possibly because their pheromone compatibility is too high. After all, it’s secondary differentiation, and she might even differentiate into an SSS-level Omega… In that case, it’s too dangerous for the two of them to stay in the same environment all the time. For now, they can’t stay together. After we go back, we need to immediately run tests and measure their compatibility too.” The doctor listened to that delicate and boastful voice outside and could not help laughing. The nurse said, “Why don’t we close the door? I feel embarrassed just listening…”

Yan Qingqiu said beside Song Qingre, “Just now, the doctor casually rubbed you a bit and rubbed out a reaction. How are you so sensitive? You’re way too weak. Look at me… lively and jumping around.”

Yan Qingqiu wished she could perform a backflip on the spot. The two came out of the room. Because of Song Qingre, she had been so nervous last night that she had not slept. Now she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Yan Qingqiu saw Su Xingjie sitting in the living room watching a model show. She still could not help following Song Qingre, showing off beside her ear. “Tell me, you keep provoking me every day. Is it because you know your own level isn’t high, so you’re especially smug?”

Song Qingre paused and let out a breath. The way she looked at Yan Qingqiu seemed very dark, a little lost.

After that, she looked at the stairs. Yan Qingqiu also followed upstairs.

Once they reached upstairs, Yan Qingqiu had no intention of continuing to follow closely. After saying a few lines, she prepared to go downstairs. She had just called out, “Xing…”

Song Qingre reached out and grabbed her wrist, turned a corner, and stuffed her into the room. Yan Qingqiu did not expect that in broad daylight, Song Qingre would still dare do this. She panicked and hurried to run outside, reaching for the door handle. Song Qingre was one step ahead of her, gripping her wrist and pressing her against the door.

Yan Qingqiu had no time to react. Her face pressed against the door. “Song Qingre, let go. You can’t win an argument, so now you want to hit people, is that it?”

Yan Qingqiu felt her neck being touched. Song Qingre’s thumb pressed against the gland at the back of her neck. This time, something had seeped out by itself, slightly sticky on the pad of her finger.

During the gland examination, Yan Qingqiu had washed her gland clean in advance.

Song Qingre’s nose was filled with a scent that could not be specifically identified, but it was very, very fragrant, like a ripe fruit that had split open and was continuously leaking honey.

Her fingertip pressed against the gland behind Yan Qingqiu’s neck.

When Yan Qingqiu had just come out of the examination room, her neck had seemed to carry a thread, a thread that kept winding around Song Qingre and floating, ready to be detected by other Alphas at any moment.

Yan Qingqiu smelled the strong citrus pheromone scent. This was Song Qingre’s room. She, an Omega, had fearlessly burrowed into an Alpha’s forbidden territory.

Instinctively, the back of her neck heated. Fatal. Her legs trembled fiercely. She had been so A just now; she could not fall short at the last moment. Remembering the doctor’s words again, she warned, “I’m telling you, my dad is coming back. If you dare bite me… I’ll tell my dad.”

Song Qingre froze slightly, not quite understanding. “Tell what?”

“Tell him… you don’t uphold Alpha morals,” Yan Qingqiu said through gritted teeth. She felt Song Qingre’s strength lessen a little and hurriedly struggled free. Song Qingre let her go, allowing her to break free. Yan Qingqiu blinked. Ripples stirred in her bright spring-like eyes, and the corners of her eyes were red.

Song Qingre closed her eyes. Only for two seconds. Then she turned Yan Qingqiu back around again. “You should still lie against the door.”

After enduring for a moment, Song Qingre suppressed the fire and said to her in a gentle voice, “Stay in the room. Wait until everyone leaves before going out. Don’t run wild.”

“Be good.”

When Song Qingre softened by one point, Yan Qingqiu’s heart listened until it went soft and numb. But her mouth immediately stiffened by one point in return, out of control. “I want to go out.” Because staying in an Alpha’s room was too dangerous. She had just been about to say that even if she went back, she would go back to her own room.

Her thigh hurt.

Song Qingre raised her palm and directly slapped her leg. The slap was not strong, but it directly made the stubborn Yan Qingqiu slide down. Her knees pressed against the door, and it was only because Song Qingre added more strength to hold down her wrist that she did not fall.

This time, Yan Qingqiu truly felt wronged. She slid downward, her body flowing like water. Even her voice was a little pained. “I… really am going to tell my dad. You hit me…”

Author’s Note:

Telling Dad isn’t admitting defeat!

Here it is. Here it is. By the way, I challenged my weak point again and did another 10k day.
