The Alluring Boss O's Slacker A (Transmigration GL) - Chapter 16

Although Ruan Ting Zhi had told Wen Jin that money was not a big deal and that she could ask her anytime she needed it, taking advantage of someone was something Wen Jin could never do. It was too undignified.

After returning to the dorm, Wen Jin unusually did not sleep. She opened her optical computer and browsed around StarNet, only to discover that there were not many part-time jobs suited to her.

First, she already had the part-time job at the botanical garden, taking care of the prickly ball, with a four-hour work shift. During that time, although she could drink tea and bask in the sun, she could not leave her post without permission.

Second, on the laboratory side, she had been punished with toilet-cleaning duty. That meant that, starting tomorrow night, if no one helped them, Wen Jin and Ruan Ting Zhi would have to report to the laboratory every night.

Adding up all these restrictions, Wen Jin copied and pasted the suitable jobs into a document, compared them left and right, then decisively crossed them all out.

After searching and searching, all that remained were nighttime service jobs. But those simply paid too little.

Wen Jin had not forgotten the IOU in Luo Xi’s hand. What she had paid back today was only one installment.

At the end of the day, the problem was still that Wen Jin was so poor she practically jingled.

When Ruan Ting Zhi came out after showering, she saw Wen Jin staring blankly at the school recruitment postings.

Hearing the sound, Wen Jin turned her head, opened her wristband, and said to Ruan Ting Zhi, “Is a direct transfer okay?”

There was no handling fee for wristband transfers. That was what Wen Jin meant.

Right now, all the money in her account was not enough to pay back the stack of Federation coins Ruan Ting Zhi had lent her. But one matter was one matter. Since she had said she was borrowing fifty, she still had that much character.

Ruan Ting Zhi was also very straightforward. Wrapped in a bath towel, she offered Wen Jin a wrist with beautifully curved lines.

In truth, she really wanted to say that this amount of Federation coins was not even enough for her to buy a piece of clothing. But thinking of Wen Jin’s frost-cold expression on the sports field earlier, as well as the closet full of cheap clothes, Ruan Ting Zhi tactfully did not ask further. Nor did she reveal the slightest sympathy, pity, or any other emotion.

Regarding Wen Jin’s family situation, Ruan Ting Zhi had more or less guessed some of it. But after all, their relationship had not yet reached that point.

Whether helping someone or getting along with them, a certain distance was needed. And Ruan Ting Zhi happened to be good at grasping that.

Their two wristbands scanned each other, and the transfer succeeded.

Only then did Ruan Ting Zhi turn her gaze to Wen Jin’s optical computer screen. “You’re looking for a part-time job?”

Wen Jin nodded. “Do you have any recommendations?”

Ruan Ting Zhi narrowed her eyes. “Let me think.”

Wen Jin had originally asked casually, because her time was limited, she had far too many requirements, and she was unwilling to do hard labor. Meanwhile, most of the part-time jobs Ruan Ting Zhi could come into contact with were likely legion exploration types. Wen Jin naturally would not be interested.

In the end, Ruan Ting Zhi was unexpectedly reliable when it came to giving people ideas. She did not introduce a job to Wen Jin, but instead proposed a way to make money. “Did you not know that the Pharmacy Department’s lab benches are open to laboratory students?”

Wen Jin’s long, narrow eyes lifted. “What’s your suggestion?”

Seeing that she truly did not know, Ruan Ting Zhi said a little more. “The Pharmacy Department’s lab benches and raw materials are open to everyone in the laboratory. That means as long as you can enter the laboratory, everyone has the right to use them. Also, potions developed in the laboratory are allowed to be taken out. Most elite-class students usually put the potions they successfully make up for sale on the school forum or StarNet.”

Ruan Ting Zhi paused and glanced at Wen Jin. The woman had her back to the light, so not many expressions could be seen on her face.

Ruan Ting Zhi guessed that she had concerns, so she carefully explained the rules of the Pharmacy Department laboratory.

“Of course, any potion developed using the laboratory has to pass a safety test. Beside the experimental bench, there is a safety-test button. Once it shows the potion is healthy, it will evaluate the grade and selling price based on the potion’s effect. But generally, the actual transaction price is higher than the evaluated price.”

Wen Jin had not expected there to be such a good thing. She lowered her head, giving others the impression of loneliness and dejection.

Ruan Ting Zhi patted her shoulder. “During the time we go to the laboratory to clean, we can actually secretly learn from the elite class’s public lessons. I’ve come into contact with pharmacology knowledge before. If you don’t mind, I can guide you a little. If you can prepare a basic physical-strength potion, it can sell for twenty thousand Federation coins.”

Wen Jin was touched by Ruan Ting Zhi’s enthusiasm. She cooperatively curved her red lips. “You’re amazing. You know everything.”

Threads of laughter seemed to be steeped in the woman’s glazed eyes, and her peach-blossom gaze held a bit of dazzling, worldly charm.

Ruan Ting Zhi gave a soft “mm” and pulled her ponytail to the side of her face, covering her reddened ear.

Withdrawing her gaze, she looked straight ahead and walked past Wen Jin’s shoulder, sitting down on the bed.

Only after a while did she say softly, “I happen to know a little.”

And yet she had only scored thirty-nine points.

Wen Jin held back her laughter and swallowed the words that had reached her mouth.

Wen Jin had always taken the concept of money lightly. Her material desires were not high. If she had money, she had a way to spend it. If she had no money, she had a poor person’s way of making do.

As a quick transmigration worker, points were actually far more tempting than money.

But now that she had retired and was truly living her own life, the embarrassment of having no money finally began squeezing out the tiny fingernail-sized survival desire in Wen Jin’s heart bit by bit.

So Ruan Ting Zhi’s suggestion was immediately included in Wen Jin’s considerations.

Unexpectedly, before she could solve it, the embarrassment of having no money struck Wen Jin squarely on the head that very night when it was time to sleep.

After showering, Wen Jin discovered that the drawstring long-sleeved top from last night had not yet dried, and the ripped jeans were hanging quietly on the automatic rack for sterilization.

In total, she only had two sets of clothes. The clothes she had worn during the day had already been put into the washing machine.

There was only one pair of shorts left, reaching the root of her thighs, but there was no top to match them. They were not suitable to wear at night.

So Wen Jin compromised and took out the nightdress with two fist-sized holes in the back hem.

As usual, Ruan Ting Zhi faced the wall, curled her legs, and lay on her side, properly leaving Wen Jin half a meter of space.

Wen Jin stood where she was. After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked, “Can I turn over and sleep facing your back?”

Ruan Ting Zhi: “Hm?”

This request sounded very strange. But no matter how strange it was, Wen Jin could not sleep with her bare backside pressed against the hollow of Ruan Ting Zhi’s waist. If she really did that, Wen Jin felt she would not be far from social death.

She tried to salvage it further. “If you’re willing… you can turn your head around and supervise me face-to-face. My sleeping posture is very good. Most people who’ve slept with me want to sleep with me a second time…”

Before Wen Jin finished speaking, Ruan Ting Zhi, who had been pressed against the wall, suddenly turned over and faced Wen Jin.

In the dark night, Wen Jin’s sensual lips parted slightly. She had originally been sleeping facing the back of Ruan Ting Zhi’s head, but because Ruan Ting Zhi suddenly turned her face over, her cool lips unexpectedly landed on Ruan Ting Zhi’s lips.

Their gazes met. Ruan Ting Zhi stared straight at Wen Jin with those indescribable doe eyes.

Wen Jin suspected that Ruan Ting Zhi might think she had deliberately sought a kiss, so she hurriedly withdrew.

To prove her innocence, she immediately reached behind herself, hooked two tissues from the bedside cabinet, and used one to cover up and wipe away the silver thread that the other person’s fragrant, soft lips had brought to her own mouth. The other tissue she handed to Ruan Ting Zhi.

Ruan Ting Zhi silently looked at Wen Jin and furrowed her brows slightly. She leaned back a little.

Taking the tissue, she asked, “Was it Luo Xi?”

Wen Jin lifted her head in confusion. “What?”

“The person who slept with you once and wanted to sleep with you a second time.” Ruan Ting Zhi lowered her voice very softly, like a breeze brushing over, carrying the faint mellow fragrance of lavender.

After reacting, Wen Jin was amused. She met Ruan Ting Zhi’s eyes. “I don’t like her.”

Thinking of Wen Jin’s sleeping posture last night, it was indeed unlikely that she had slept with anyone else.

Ruan Ting Zhi’s tense lips curved slightly. “True. You haven’t slept with anyone else.”

Having been seen through at a glance, Wen Jin felt a little awkward. She lazily yawned and neither confirmed nor denied it.

“Are we still sleeping?” Wen Jin asked. She was a little sleepy.

Ruan Ting Zhi nodded. “We are. Put your arm around my waist and hold me while sleeping.”

“Because your sleeping posture really is bad. After falling asleep last night, you put both legs on me and hugged me like a teddy bear. Your hands also like to move around… not very honestly.”

Wen Jin defended herself. “Are you sure you’re talking about me?”

Ruan Ting Zhi smiled purely, then nodded twice seriously.

Wen Jin pressed her lips together. “Then… should I sleep by myself tonight?”

“No need.”

With Wen Jin’s tendency to avoid suspicion, she would absolutely never hug her.

But just now, this person had even wiped her mouth in disdain. A layer of displeasure swept through Ruan Ting Zhi’s eyes, though she smiled on the surface. “Anyway, we’re both girls.”

“Come here. Hold me.”

The girl’s eyes curved, and inside her clear gaze was open, bright generosity reflected by the moonlight.

For a moment, Wen Jin did not know how to refuse. She thought of the fist-sized hole behind her nightdress. Since Ruan Ting Zhi insisted, and they had to sleep together anyway, if she slept deeply and randomly turned over, pressing against any part of Ruan Ting Zhi, it would look improper.

As for whether a female O and a female B could be the same kind of girl, Wen Jin did not include that question in the scope of things she needed to avoid.

In her eyes, girls hugging each other to sleep was fairly normal. For example, in the campus plane before last, two female roommates had been very close and often hugged and kissed each other.

Wen Jin had never thought there was anything wrong with that. Girls’ friendship itself was the purest kind of relationship between two sexes.

Even though she and Ruan Ting Zhi were more about mutual help and mutual benefit.

But the other party was so straightforward and decisive that it made her look timid by comparison.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Jin felt it was necessary to clear her own name. She reached out and pulled Ruan Ting Zhi into her arms, adjusted their posture, and closed her eyes. In the darkness, her voice scattered with laziness, even carrying a soft, coaxing tone. “Mm. Sleeping now.”

Ruan Ting Zhi only felt as if her heart had been plucked by an invisible hand. Then, before she could prepare, her body sank into the woman’s soft frame. She dazedly lost herself for quite a while before barely suppressing the gasp that was almost about to spill from her lips.

But the instigator quickly fell asleep.

Who knew how much time passed before Ruan Ting Zhi finally managed to brew a hint of sleepiness.

However, just as she was about to close her eyes, two warm, soft touches suddenly landed beside her gland.

“Don’t…”

Ruan Ting Zhi almost gasped by instinct, even saying in a warped tone, “What are you doing… mm…”

In the dark night, no one across from her answered at all. Wen Jin’s lips were close to the side of Ruan Ting Zhi’s gland. She extended the tip of her tongue and lightly licked it. At that point, Ruan Ting Zhi completely lost the strength to speak.

Perhaps because she felt the scent smelled very good, after Wen Jin licked twice, she rested her chin on Ruan Ting Zhi’s shoulder again and sank deeply back into sleep.

A layer of desire rippled through Ruan Ting Zhi’s eyes. Before her rebirth, she had already been thirty years old and had experienced the cruelest hardships of time. She had long since shed the innocence of a young Omega girl, let alone the fact that her body possessed the needs of an adult woman.

Ji Lan had once said that, medically speaking, Ruan Ting Zhi’s state of clear-hearted abstinence could be diagnosed as frigidity. Even if a 3S-rank Alpha released their pheromones fully before Ruan Ting Zhi, she would only find it annoying.

But what was this now?

Wen Jin, who clearly had no pheromone scent beside her, had successfully made her lose control.

This was the second time… Ruan Ting Zhi could not possibly avoid thinking deeply about it.

She felt it was absurd, shameful, and unbelievable, yet she also could not suppress the trembling in her heart.

According to her usual way of doing things, she clearly should not continue getting closer, and it should be even more impossible for her to reveal her secret and share a bed with a stranger.

Or perhaps she should have acted decisively, broken Wen Jin’s legs, and treated the latter as a key mental-strength research subject to be thrown into the Ruan family’s laboratory.

But Ruan Ting Zhi, who usually stopped at nothing to achieve her goals, had changed her mind without even realizing it.

Ever since meeting this person, it was as if everything had given Ruan Ting Zhi no room to think and had instead pushed her forward by instinct.

Ruan Ting Zhi was not sure if this was correct. Yet she also could not deny that she craved the tremor brought to her by this person’s body, the fresh and vigorous pleasure, and the deep nighttime throb of her heartbeat.

In the darkness, the corner of Ruan Ting Zhi’s eyes curved. She lowered her head and briefly pressed her lips against Wen Jin’s chest.

Seeing this person furrow her brows in discomfort, Ruan Ting Zhi panted softly, and a quiet laugh fell beside Wen Jin’s ear. “I can’t let you take all the advantage, can I?”
