The Live-in Alpha Only Wants to Be a Quiet Salted Fish - Chapter 27

“For summer outfits, I prefer a minimalist style…”

Su Mo faced the camera at ease, but as she spoke, she noticed everyone around her had changed their expressions. Even Lin Mu covered her eyes, only daring to peek through her fingers.

“?”

Su Mo was confused, a vague sense of foreboding creeping in. She turned to look at the wardrobe.

Just then, a pillow, unable to resist gravity, slid out from the exposed bedsheet and fell at her feet.

“Poof…” A cloud of cotton burst from the tear, floating and scattering everywhere.

The scene went silent, and even the live comments paused for a moment.

A chaotic mess of objects was squeezed among the neatly arranged clothes, clearly stuffed in there in a hurry.

The bedsheet’s colors varied, stained with water. The pillow was torn open, gutted. And it matched the sofa outside, suggesting a “battle” had moved from the living room to the bedroom, bearing the marks of a fierce “engagement” from inside out.

Yes, that kind of engagement.

Everyone was stunned, never expecting to witness such an explosive scene.

“Bang!” A loud thud jolted everyone back to their senses. The remnants of the fierce struggle vanished in an instant.

Su Mo gripped the wardrobe door, her fingertips white from the force, her back trembling slightly.

She had no face left to show the cameras behind her.

What a public humiliation!

“Director… can you give me a few minutes to deal with some household matters?”

Su Mo’s voice was low and soft, but everyone’s heart turned cold for a moment, sending shivers down their spines.

“Of course, of course, please go ahead!”

The director laughed awkwardly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and he quickly retreated with everyone else.

“Bang!”

The door closed, like a bell tolling before an execution. Only the Alpha and Omega remained inside.

“Silly Alpha, tell me, why are these things in my closet…”

Su Mo bowed her head, her long hair obscuring her face, resembling a certain “big sister” from a TV show. Her knuckles popped audibly as she clenched them.

“Crackling…”

Lin Mu’s legs turned to jelly. She pressed herself against the wall. “Um… I didn’t know where to hide them, so I just…”

“So you just? Heh heh…” Su Mo sneered, a low pressure enveloping her.

She silently walked to the bedside and picked up a pillow.

Seeing this, Lin Mu instinctively shuffled away, creating distance between them.

“Go to hell!” Su Mo looked up, her face fierce.

Inside the house, chaos erupted, and a chase began.

Outside, the atmosphere was silent. Everyone was speechless.

The director was also intimidated. Although he wanted to capitalize on the hype, he only intended to film daily life. He never expected to capture something so explosive.

Pre-recorded footage could be edited out, but a live broadcast…

In the live stream, the number of online viewers continuously climbed. The hot search had already exploded, and many people had migrated from Weibo.

Comments flew thick and fast, completely obscuring the screen.

Oh my god, is this really something I can watch for free?!

Where are those who said it was a rented house? Come out and get a beating! How could such intense ‘reality’ be put on display for you? Of course they’d put on a show!

My image of the goddess in my heart is shattered. Aloof in public, but behind closed doors…

We’re all adults, calm down. They’re a newlywed AO couple after all. What’s wrong with being intense? Maybe the Alpha came back to repay the kindness after the beautiful Omega saved her yesterday!

The comments section buzzed with discussion. Even though the screen only showed a wooden door, the popularity did not wane.

“Thump…”

Something hit the wooden door, making everyone outside jump.

“Bang, bang…”

The wooden door trembled, and the vibrations grew more intense.

Oh my god, I’ve only heard of car sex and bed sex, this is the first time I’ve seen door sex!

Is this something I should be watching?! I’m still a baby!

It looks so intense. Is this the daily life of a female celebrity? I’m in love!

The comments were still going when, the next moment, the door opened. The director almost reached out to cover the camera, afraid of filming something inappropriate that would lead to their account being banned.

This was a legitimate show. This couldn’t be broadcast, absolutely not!

To everyone’s surprise, the scene was very innocent, almost comedic.

“Help, stop hitting, stop hitting! My fault, my fault, ow!”

The Alpha scurried around, clutching her head, followed by an aggressive Omega.

“I told you to stuff it, I told you to stuff it!”

The pillow landed on the silly Alpha. Su Mo didn’t care about being a celebrity or her image anymore.

With all that stuff exposed, everyone in the country knew. What image could she possibly have left?

Today, she was going to beat this silly Alpha to death to get her revenge!

Lin Mu shielded her head, resisting. However, realizing she couldn’t save herself this way, she had a flash of inspiration and went for the pillow instead.

The innocent pillow was caught in a fierce tug-of-war between offense and defense. Then came a sound.

“Rip…” Cotton flew everywhere.

A familiar scent, a familiar recipe.

Su Mo’s sharp nails tore through the fabric, and another pillow was ruined.

Confirmed, it turns out pillows really can be torn apart!

Hahahahaha, am I the only one who finds this pair so funny? So real!

It seems the goddess truly didn’t know just now. She’s enforcing house rules now!

Speaking objectively, am I the only one concerned about the goddess’s nails LOL!

The atmosphere was tense. The Alpha and Omega held onto the tattered pillow, refusing to budge. The director couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

“Um, Momo, let’s talk this out nicely. There’s no need to resort to violence!”

“Shut up! None of your business!”

Su Mo was in a fit of rage at that moment. She instinctively turned and snapped back, startling the director so much that his flabby cheeks trembled.

Oh my god, the goddess is so fierce, she scared me to death.

Normal. It’s an AO couple arguing, and you butt in. Who else would she snap at?

The goddess looks so Alpha when she’s fierce, her family status is obvious, lol.

Looking at the dark camera lens, Su Mo finally regained some of her composure, feeling a surge of powerlessness.

Her carefully cultivated image of many years was ruined. Pretending, pretending, what was she pretending for? She was done pretending, she didn’t care anymore. Let things be as they may.

“Sweep the floor clean, then go cook!” Su Mo threw down the tattered fabric in her hand, not wanting to see this person for another second.

Having survived the ordeal, Lin Mu nodded frantically, grabbing tools and starting to clean up. She moved skillfully, clearly someone who did this often.

“Sorry for the spectacle, I’m a bit tired. Is there anything else you’d like to film?” Su Mo forced a smile.

After such intense “exercise,” she really wasn’t in the mood to deal with filming.

Her words clearly indicated she wanted them to leave. The director looked at Lin Mu, who had scurried into the kitchen. Despite his reluctance, he didn’t dare push his luck at this moment. He could only exchange a few pleasantries before hastily retreating.

Silence returned to the room. Su Mo sank back onto the sofa, rubbing her temples, reaching for a pillow to lean on, only to find nothing there.

“…” Even more exhausted.

Lin Mu was still busy in the kitchen, the range hood humming.

Soon, a dog-like head poked out, glancing around the empty living room.

“They’re gone?”

Su Mo gave her a side-eye, presenting her with the back of her head, not wanting to reply. Too tired.

“Um, I really didn’t mean to. Don’t be mad, okay?” Lin Mu moved to the edge of the sofa and poked her.

Su Mo rarely thought of that saying: If apologies worked, what would we need the police for?

“Get off, don’t bother me.”

Su Mo impatiently waved her hand, wanting nothing more than to self-isolate on the sofa.

“Oh, look on the bright side. Maybe they’ll think we tore the pillows because we were fighting!” Lin Mu spoke nonsense with her eyes wide open, deceiving herself.

Pillows can be explained, but what about the bedsheets?!

The thought of that made Su Mo even angrier. Last night’s experience truly poured cold water on her, and the tiny sprout of feeling in her heart was almost extinguished by that basin of water.

She really couldn’t understand how an Alpha, facing an Omega in estrus, could possibly…

“Silly Alpha, last night, what exactly did you…” think?

She turned around, facing Lin Mu.

Lin Mu was sprawled on the edge of the sofa, looking down at her, her eyes sparkling. From this angle, Su Mo even found them to hold some deep affection.

“Last night?” Lin Mu pondered, under Su Mo’s gaze.

“Pop!”

“Good sister, no need to thank me, we’re sisters, it’s what I should do!” She said smugly.

Su Mo’s heart was a mix of emotions. In the end, she couldn’t say anything, silently lying back down on the sofa.

Forget it, let it be destroyed. It’s not worth it.

“What’s wrong? You don’t know how dangerous it was last night, you were like that, like that… I almost…” Lin Mu was filled with lingering fear, and various seductive scenes from last night flashed through her mind again, making her blush slightly.

She almost committed a crime, poaching someone else’s partner. What a sin!

“Almost?” Su Mo, whose heart had been ashen, was stirred by this phrase. That young sprout seemed to have been watered again, stubbornly breaking through the soil.

“Oh, don’t ask. And please, don’t ever steal my food again. It would be bad if your estrus came early again. Also, protect yourself, don’t…”

Su Mo’s mind raced for a long time, unable to connect stealing food with her estrus coming early. Lin Mu was still babbling on like a nagging old mother, but it wasn’t hard to hear the concern in her voice.

She just watched Lin Mu counting on her fingers, a warm current flowing through her heart. It was a little funny, and a little relieved.

It’s good. If the silly Alpha had lost control last night and actually marked her, perhaps when they woke up today, they wouldn’t have been able to face each other.

If feelings weren’t there, could pure desire bridge the gap?

Perhaps, but not necessarily.

Remembering the three gutted pillows, Su Mo fell into thought.

“What happened to my pillows?”

Lin Mu’s words halted, her expression frozen. Under Su Mo’s direct gaze, she awkwardly looked away, tugging at the hem of her clothes.

“Well… my teeth were a bit itchy, so I just bit them…”

Bit them?

Their ragged appearance didn’t suggest just a few bites.

And, itchy teeth…

It was nothing more than a sign of an Alpha wanting to mark. Having urges was a good thing; it meant there was still a possibility for their relationship to progress.

Su Mo narrowed her eyes. She didn’t believe in Alpha-Alpha relationships anyway. From beginning to end, she had only seen this person’s aversion to Alphas, plus there was a “former girlfriend” in the picture.

“Um, I don’t have to pay for it, right?” She secretly peeked, cautiously.

After figuring things out, Su Mo felt a little giddy, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes even curving upward.

“Never mind, I’ll let you off this time. Next time…”

“Absolutely no next time!” Lin Mu raised her hand to swear.

“Heh…” Su Mo chuckled softly, like a fox wagging its tail, her eyes filled with calculation.

Just wait, there will be a next time eventually. But the pillows won’t be needed then…

••••

While the Alpha and Omega finally reached a truce, the excitement online had just begun.

Screenshots of the items in the wardrobe were posted online, with every detail explained step by step.

Some even made a compilation video comparing the two before and after, showing the drastic change.

What you imagine an AO couple to be: Alpha physique, Omega beauty. What a real AO couple is: chaotic and messy.

What Su Mo thought was public humiliation, while indeed becoming a laughingstock for the public, actually attracted more fans due to their down-to-earth daily life.

Amidst the frenzy of CP fans, another, different voice emerged.

Fake, it’s all fake! I’m Lin Mu’s ex-girlfriend, and I can testify, Lin Mu is completely useless!
