The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 4

Chapter 004: Strength to Move Mountains, Spirit to Overcome the World

Bai Yue really wanted to stop those two, but she couldn’t think of anything to say immediately. After all, it was perfectly normal for them to go to the lounge to change clothes. Bai Yue couldn’t exactly say, “You’re not allowed to go, stay here for me,” right?!

Bai Yue didn’t like the male protagonist to begin with, and seeing them leave while the male protagonist just stood there made her feel even more exasperated: No, what are you still doing here? Shouldn’t you be the one going to the lounge with the female protagonist?!

Then she saw the male protagonist preparing to take off his jacket for Chen Mengyi…?!

Chen Mengyi also noticed this and politely declined with a smile: “There’s no need. Yueyue and I are planning to head back now. Mr. Bai’s jacket should be saved for someone who needs it.” After saying this, Chen Mengyi turned around and returned to Bai Yue’s side.

“Yueyue, we’ve already met with the host. Although it’s already summer, I feel a little cold without my shawl. Shall we go home now?”

“Ah, okay.”

After such a blunder, Bai Yue also didn’t want to stay. Upon receiving Bai Yue’s affirmation, Chen Mengyi walked behind Bai Yue and began pushing the wheelchair forward. Chen Mengyi took Bai Yue to see the host one more time, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then wheeled Bai Yue out.

The venue for this banquet was the host’s suburban villa, so accessibility was not well-executed. Upon reaching the entrance, there was no ramp for wheelchairs. Fortunately, the Bai family’s driver and bodyguards were very observant. Seeing Chen Mengyi pushing Bai Yue out, they had already driven the car over and prepared to help.

Chen Mengyi walked up to Bai Yue and slightly crouched down. Bai Yue was accustomed to this and extended her hands. Chen Mengyi smiled and scooped her up. She slid her arms under Bai Yue’s knees and lifted Bai Yue in a full bridal carry.

As an Alpha, Bai Yue’s body was completely different from her previous life due to her pheromones. She was much taller; even though she couldn’t grow extremely tall from sitting in a wheelchair for years, she was still 176 centimeters tall. This height was slightly short for an Alpha but quite tall for an Omega.

Luckily, Chen Mengyi wasn’t short either, standing at 170 centimeters—only six centimeters shorter than Bai Yue.

However, Chen Mengyi couldn’t compare to Bai Yue in terms of body fat percentage. As an Alpha, Bai Yue’s body fat percentage was lower, but she had little muscle due to lack of exercise, making her a thin Alpha. Even so, she weighed 67 kilograms.

If this weight were in her previous life, Bai Yue would have started a diet, but now she was not only not fat but quite slender.

Chen Mengyi genuinely put in a lot of effort to be able to carry Bai Yue. She never missed a day of her fitness routine and even lifted weights. But Chen Mengyi was vain and felt that too much muscle didn’t look good. To balance both, she regularly did physical conditioning and yoga.

It was also fortunate that she managed her physique, otherwise… a squinty-eyed smiling tiger, like a fox, with large biceps hidden under her clothes—wouldn’t that seem… well, a bit mismatched?

The result of her training was that Chen Mengyi had a thin layer of muscle, but the lines of her waist and legs were truly beautiful. Bai Yue couldn’t help but be attracted just by looking at her. Attraction aside, after all, who doesn’t like a beautiful girl?

But more than that, there was a sense of pride: Look, this is the girl I raised. Her back was not covered in crisscrossed whip marks as described in the novel; instead, it had a layer of muscle. If the villain Bai Yue from the original novel had really tried to bully her, Chen Mengyi would probably have beaten her so badly she couldn’t get up.

Chen Mengyi carried Bai Yue, walking steadily in her high heels, step by step on the ground, before placing her in the back seat, whose door the driver had already opened.

Every time she was given the “bridal carry” treatment by Chen Mengyi, Bai Yue couldn’t help but think: My girl has come of age, with the strength to move mountains and the spirit to overcome the world.

The accompanying bodyguard had already folded the wheelchair and put it into the trunk.

Bai Yue always felt that the escort car and bodyguard arrangement was a bit too exaggerated, but both her two mothers before they passed away and Chen Mengyi now were very firm that bodyguards must be present.

“No, there’s no way you can go out alone; you must have bodyguards with you. Your legs are not good. If something happens, it’ll be difficult for you to react. With the bodyguards watching, any emergency can be properly dealt with.”

That made sense. After all, she was a cripple. If she ever encountered a car accident or something similar, she certainly couldn’t manage it on her own.

The car slowly began to move. Bai Yue saw Chen Mengyi take out a wet wipe from the car’s small compartment. She first wiped her own hands, then pulled out a new one and gestured for Bai Yue to hold out her hand.

“I can do it myself.”

“It’s fine, I want to help you wipe.”

After the lemonade soda had splashed out, quite a bit had also landed on Bai Yue’s hands. It actually felt the same as having water spilled on her hands, and it wasn’t sticky. This was why Chen Mengyi waited until they were in the car to wipe Bai Yue’s hands; otherwise, she would have wiped them immediately on the spot.

Her motions were very gentle, as if a cloud was brushing across Bai Yue’s fingertips. Every time Chen Mengyi treated her with such seriousness, Bai Yue felt like a very important person to her. Come to think of it, from their meeting at age twelve to their current age of twenty-six, fourteen years of their lives had been bound together.

Not only was Bai Yue extremely important to Chen Mengyi, but Chen Mengyi was also important to Bai Yue.

After wiping her hands, Chen Mengyi placed the wet wipe in the car trash bin.

Bai Yue looked at her and abruptly brought up a question: “What do you think of those two people just now?”

Chen Mengyi was momentarily stunned but considered it seriously: “Su Xi and Zhao Yueting? Zhao Yueting’s preferred type doesn’t seem to be Su Xi. Although they went to the lounge together, there should be other people in the lounge, so no rumors should start.”

“…”

So that little Omega girl was named Zhao Yueting…

No, that wasn’t the point. Bai Yue shook her head: “I was asking you about Su Xi and Bai Shizhou.”

Chen Mengyi was about to answer, but she quickly realized something was wrong: “Yueyue, how do you know Bai Shizhou is an Omega?”

In that instant, Bai Yue was also shocked.

It wasn’t strange for her to know that Bai Shizhou was an Omega; she was a transmigrator, and she knew the plot like the back of her hand. But Bai Shizhou concealed himself very well in public; even his pheromones were covered up by an Alpha-pheromone-scented perfume. That perfume was specially made, and Bai Shizhou could obtain it because his family owned a pharmaceutical company.

Generally, this kind of perfume was sold to wealthy Betas. They couldn’t smell what pheromones actually smelled like, so the perfume was quite popular among them. There was also news before of a Beta who was attacked by an Alpha after misusing the Omega-pheromone perfume.

In short, due to Bai Shizhou’s careful disguise, his identity had not been discovered.

Chen Mengyi was too clever; because of that comparative question, she immediately realized that Bai Yue knew the truth about Bai Shizhou’s gender. But she was curious about how Bai Yue knew.

Chen Mengyi leaned closer: “Yueyue, how do you know?”

Bai Yue pushed against the car seat cushion, shifting back a little. Her lower limbs had virtually no feeling, so the strength in her hands was greater, but even though she used a lot of force, she only moved back a tiny bit. Chen Mengyi pressed right up close, and her scent came with her.

Chen Mengyi was not in her rut period, so she only had a faint pheromone scent, which was sage. The fragrance of sage is similar to lavender but heavier, with a hint of bitterness and sweetness, and sometimes a camphor-like note.

To be honest, Bai Yue thought the smell was quite pleasant, but some people would find the scent a bit irritating, and severe cases might even find it nauseating.

Sage is not just a flower, but also a Chinese medicine; its effects include clearing heat, resolving dampness, promoting blood circulation to regulate menstruation, detoxifying, and reducing swelling. Furthermore, this plant is not picky about its living environment. Hillsides, roadsides, grass piles, riverbanks, under the shade of trees—there’s nowhere it can’t grow. It can be seen in most provinces in the country; it truly isn’t picky about the land.

Like Chen Mengyi, Chen Mengyi was very much like this little plant, capable of quietly growing no matter what kind of wind and rain she endured. This was true both in the original novel and in front of Bai Yue.

She was sent to the Bai family by her parents at the age of twelve. No matter how nicely they phrased it, the reality was that her parents didn’t want her anymore and chose to give her up for money. The Bai family wasn’t necessarily a good place either. Bai Yue could stay there because it was her home, and her two mothers spoiled and loved her.

But for Chen Mengyi, it was absolutely not the case. The people she called “Auntie” were not her elders but her employers, and Bai Yue’s mothers were extremely strict with Chen Mengyi’s upbringing.

At school, classmates would also find ways to humiliate Chen Mengyi, subtly and overtly calling her a child bride. The young Chen Mengyi had no choice. She wouldn’t just silently take the bullying; several times, she was called to bring her parents because she got into fights with classmates.

Her parents were no help to her, only telling her to be obedient and not embarrass the Bai family.

It was Bai Yue who pleaded with her mothers to send Chen Mengyi to learn self-defense, so at least she wouldn’t just be beaten when she was bullied.

Her little plant grew up despite the wind and rain.

As Chen Mengyi leaned in, Bai Yue couldn’t help but think this because of the faint scent of sage.

Chen Mengyi, however, was still asking: “Yueyue, did you smell his pheromones? Otherwise, how would you know he’s an Omega?”
