The Live-in Alpha Only Wants to Be a Quiet Salted Fish - Chapter 17

“Haha, are you joking? How is that possible? Unless she’s not an Alpha at all…” The effeminate male voice on the other end of the phone made a definitive statement.

But, such an Alpha truly exists.

Su Mo opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but ultimately suppressed the words in her heart.

Bringing up the silly Alpha would inevitably mean bringing up all her baffling actions. So, better not, she didn’t want to hand a joke to her friend for his amusement.

Hanging up the phone, Su Mo waited for her friend to arrive. She was just about to rest, but whether her eyes were open or closed, the silly Alpha’s goofy face kept swirling in her mind.

Haunting her, incredibly annoying.

And as waves of physiological heat washed over her, the images in her mind developed further in indescribable directions.

Su Mo covered her face, her toes curling in shame.

Can’t think about it anymore! It’s all that silly Alpha’s fault, that troublemaker!

The pillow in her hand was almost kneaded to shreds. She irritably flipped through her phone; she had to find something to do to distract herself.

As she flipped, she came across Jian Yun’s WeChat, which she had just added. A novel had already been pushed over.

—*Transmigrating to Ancient Times to Farm and Get Rich* (Fictional Title)

This title… was very simple and direct.

Su Mo had read a few web novels before. Her previous TV dramas were all historical epics and wuxia. Later, idol dramas became popular, and many people wanted her to act in them, so she casually read the original works.

It was either about a campus bully and a school heartthrob, a President’s beloved, or various literary pain-filled narratives. After just a few glances, she rejected all the scripts. She simply couldn’t act in that kind of role. After that, she moved on to the big screen, separating herself from the TV drama circle, and hadn’t touched it since.

The title of this novel was very concise and clear, allowing one to grasp the core of the story at a glance. The word “transmigration” was easy to understand in context, broadly meaning returning to the past, which piqued Su Mo’s interest considerably.

She clicked the link and entered a certain green website, reading chapter by chapter.

The novel’s content was roughly about a modern Omega transmigrating to an ancient society where Alphas were revered and Omegas were lowly, and using modern knowledge to build a career and make money.

The novel was good, and the story was fresh. But the more she read, the more Su Mo felt a subtle sense of familiarity with the female lead.

Especially when she read about the female lead being ignorant of ancient common sense and getting thrown into jail for creating a taboo item, this sense of familiarity grew even stronger.

Why was the female lead completely unaware of common sense that others found commonplace? Because she wasn’t from this era at all!

Why was a certain silly Alpha completely ignorant of physiological knowledge that all AOs knew?

Her friend’s words echoed in her ears again.

Unless she’s not an Alpha at all…

Her phone fell onto the bed. Su Mo had no mind to read anymore; her heat-addled brain grew even more confused.

Is it possible?

It’s just a novel, can something like transmigration really happen?

She rubbed her temples, trying to dispel this absurd thought. But somehow, instead, she began to recall every single incident since meeting the silly Alpha. The more she pondered, the more she inflated this possibility to an infinite degree.

Su Mo’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her fingertips unconsciously tracing patterns on the bedsheet.

It’s just a guess after all. How can I confirm it?

She thought of the author of that transmigration novel.

Clumsily registering an account, she left her first comment.

su: How do you identify a transmigrator?

Unexpectedly, she received a reply just two minutes after posting.

But the content left her baffled.

Author’s Reply: New account, zero subscriptions? Pirate dog, no chat!

Su Mo: ???

••••

On the other side, Lin Mu took her paws off the keyboard, letting out a rare sigh of relief.

She had initially planned to peek at reader comments to lift her mood. Who knew she’d see such a baffling question? She clicked into it, and well, it was completely blank. Nothing at all.

If not you, then who should I roast?!

Too bad her opponent’s skill was too weak; one sentence was enough to make them disappear, wasting her talent.

Bored, she slacked off for a long time, until half an hour past dinner. Her stomach growled, and she finally decided to go out.

For no other reason than wanting to avoid Su Mo.

As soon as she returned to her room, she looked up physiological knowledge online, especially the effects of Alpha pheromones on Omegas.

Pheromones, to put it simply, are hormones used for mating. When an Alpha’s pheromones are inhaled by an Omega, small amounts are fine and naturally metabolized. However, large amounts, especially the high-concentration pheromones emitted during an Alpha’s susceptible period, will react chemically with the Omega’s own pheromones, causing the Omega to develop desire and induce estrus.

At the time, Lin Mu stared at the word “desire” and almost wanted to poke her eyes out. She finally understood what Su Mo’s reaction had been.

I treated you like a good sister, a good girlfriend, and you actually…

Want to fuck me??

The silly Alpha was very shocked and simultaneously worried about her personal safety.

Su Mo, in her heart, was essentially a “married woman.” Although her partner hadn’t appeared yet, she would absolutely not steal someone else’s partner.

So, even if it was due to pheromones, suddenly discovering that her good friend had those kinds of thoughts about her was, to some extent, still a bit unsettling. She hadn’t figured out how to face it yet.

She cautiously walked to the door, checking one last time before stepping out.

Inhibitors patch: Applied!

Inhibitors spray: Sprayed twice, back and forth. Now she reeked of sour lemon.

Having made all preparations, she slowly crept out. No Su Mo. Safe!

An Alpha needs to protect herself too. Who knows if she’ll be forced by an overbearing Omega?

It was quiet outside. The maids were still nowhere to be seen.

A covered food tray sat on the ground near the door. She figured it was specially prepared since she hadn’t come out for dinner.

Just what she wanted.

She was about to take it back to her room to continue her self-isolation, but then she looked up and saw another identical tray on the dining table, sitting there all alone. She knew without a doubt who it was for.

Lin Mu paused, looking left and right, even calling out.

“Aunt Liang?”

No response. It was as if she was the only one left in the house.

She struggled for a long time, then finally resigned herself, putting the tray back down and walking towards the dining table.

It was just a misunderstanding. No need to worry so much. Besides, Su Mo was indeed put in a difficult position by her. She might as well appease her a little, so she doesn’t threaten to deduct her pay tomorrow.

With that thought, Lin Mu calmed down. She confidently picked up the tray and marched upstairs to the second floor.

But just as she reached Su Mo’s door, she heard various discordant sounds coming from inside.

“It hurts, gentle…”

“Bear with it, I’ll try to be quick…”

Lin Mu: ???

Don’t ask her how she heard; it’s because they didn’t even close the door!!

She saw Su Mo lying on the bed, and an unknown man pressing down on her.

Su Mo, you’re actually this kind of female lead!!
