Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, a Dainty Omega is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 27.2
Xia Yueyao huffed. She glanced at Xiao Yun; Xiao Yun was attractive, tall, long-legged, and without an ounce of extra fat, whereas her own Alpha had a slight belly. She felt indignant, but she calmed down quickly. Her own figure was famously good—especially her chest—surely she could outshine the scrawny Jiang Cha. Jiang Cha is so thin, she must be as flat as a board! Usually, she probably used padding, but in a bikini, everything would be revealed.
Suddenly, a cheer even louder than before broke out.
“Wow, Sister Jiangjiang! Your figure is incredible!”
“Wow, Jiang Cha, how did you… it looks amazing.”
The photographers who had been filming Xia Yueyao turned their heads in unison, letting out exclamations. Xiao Yun’s heart skipped a beat—was Jiang Cha wearing something even more revealing to cause such a stir?
She turned her head. The sun hit Jiang Cha, and at first glance, she looked like a rose blooming under the scorching sun, the red color accentuating her snow-white skin. If not for the sunglasses, the cameraman would have captured Xiao Yun’s pupils dilating.
Xiao Yun took a breath. The Jiang Cha described in the novel—full chest, rounded hips, well-proportioned, yet lithe and graceful. “Frail,” “enchanting,” and “sexy” all applied to her.
Jiang Cha’s face was flushed from the sun. She kept her head down, her long curls fluttering as she walked barefoot across the sand toward her, like a living manga character. Xiao Yun took a huge gulp of orange juice, the cold soda soothing her summer heat.
The soft Omega drew closer, radiating a faint rose scent. Xiao Yun silently made space and pushed another cup of warm orange juice toward her. “I ordered this for you.”
Jiang Cha had her arms wrapped around her body, clearly not relaxed. She nodded. “Thanks.” She took a sip and frowned. “Why is it hot?”
Xiao Yun adjusted her sunglasses. “Your constitution is cold. You shouldn’t drink icy things, especially in summer. Actually, you shouldn’t drink them ever.”
To the audience, telling an Omega to be obedient looked like asserting dominance, but in reality, it was care. The onlookers cooed. “Sister Jiangjiang really gives Xiao Yun face; at home, Xiao Yun probably has to listen to her.”
Xia Yueyao’s eyes were fixed on them. Jiang Cha’s figure wasn’t just good; it was flawless. Even in a conservative cut, her impressive silhouette was undeniable. She looked at her own ice-cold soda and felt a mix of jealousy for the other couple and frustration that her own partner couldn’t compare.
The race began. Xia Yueyao shifted her focus. Tonight, she was determined to stay in the luxury villa, take a romantic bath with her Alpha, and top the hot searches!
The first heat: Xia Yueyao’s couple vs. Honey’s couple.
The director’s arrangement was relatively fair. As the first pair boarded the boat, Xiao Yun watched lazily from her chair. Xia Yueyao and her Alpha were positioned front-to-back. As her Alpha grabbed the oar, Xia Yueyao pressed her chest against her partner’s back. “Go for it, honey.” Liao Yanyan was satisfied and began recording their highlights.
On the other side, Honey was more practical, ensuring their positions were safe before grabbing an oar as well. Two people are always faster than one.
Xiao Yun tilted her head toward Jiang Cha. “Who do you think will win?”
Jiang Cha held her water, biting her lip. “I don’t know, but Honey vs. Xia Yueyao is bound to be a fierce battle.”
The horn sounded, and the Alphas began rowing frantically. The sea was calm, and both pairs reached the middle at the same time. Xiao Yun pursed her lips. “Looks like a tie.”
Jiang Cha gripped her hands, getting nervous. “Honey, go for it!” She stood up, her face flushing red. Dami and Xiaomi joined in: “Sister Honey, go for it!”
Xia Yueyao, with no one cheering for her, felt slighted. The host quickly tried to defuse the awkwardness: “The Moon couple should go for it too!”
Honey seemed encouraged and surged forward, actually overtaking Xia Yueyao. Xia Yueyao couldn’t sit still. She grabbed her oar and gave the back of Honey’s boat—only two meters away—a hard shove.
The distance was too great. The two kayaks collided, and instead of rowing, they began pushing and shoving each other, trying to knock the opponents into the water. The Alphas stayed stable, but Honey and Xia Yueyao began a pillow fight with their cushions.
Xiao Yun heard Xia Yueyao scream as they tumbled together; a moment later, Honey was pushed into the water. Jiang Cha stood up in panic and rushed to the shore. Xiao Yun, holding the sunshade, followed close behind to shield her.
Honey walked over, hair wet and wrapped in a towel, and shared a hug with Jiang Cha. “Sister Jiangjiang.”
“Are you okay?” Jiang Cha wiped her hair with a towel. Honey looked even more pitiful after falling in. She shook her head and whispered in Jiang Cha’s ear: “She pulled my bra.”
Jiang Cha’s eyes flashed with anger. “That’s disgusting. With so many people and cameras… if that was caught on film…” The consequences would be disastrous. Honey warned her: “Don’t get too close to her.”
The second heat: The Beta couple vs. the OO couple.
Xiao Yun and Jiang Cha sat down again to watch, with Xiao Yun fanning Jiang Cha. “Is it hot?”
Jiang Cha’s face was cold, her eyes fixed on Xia Yueyao. “No.” Her cheeks were puffed out in anger.
Xiao Yun stopped fanning and looked out at the water, shouting loudly: “Look, that’s a proper race. Neither boat is using dirty tricks. This is friendship first, competition second.” After speaking, she pointedly looked toward Xia Yueyao’s couple and then at the director: “Right, Director?”
Liao Yanyan felt awkward because she had actually been looking forward to the actresses fighting. She replied sheepishly: “Yes, Miss Xiao is right. Friendship first.”
Xia Yueyao was unhappy. “It’s a race; misunderstandings and scuffles are bound to happen. It has nothing to do with ‘dirty tricks.’ Everyone is here to compete; you have to be able to lose gracefully.”
“I’m glad Movie Queen Xia thinks that way,” Xiao Yun said, letting out a satisfied breath and leaning back. “Then make sure you can lose gracefully in a bit.”
“What makes you think I’ll lose? Such big words,” Xia Yueyao muttered, her face stiffening despite her smile.
Jiang Cha looked at Xia Yueyao’s frozen expression with satisfaction. She leaned toward Xiao Yun. “You’re quite good at sarcasm.”
Xiao Yun glanced at her red lips. “It’s not sarcasm; it’s the truth.”
“Do you know how to win?” Jiang Cha asked, puzzled.
Xiao Yun snapped her fingers with a smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t give her a chance to pull your clothes.” Xiao Yun saw a loophole in the game and was determined to win. Jiang Cha, seeing her confidence and having her own worries mentioned, instinctively pulled her shawl tighter to cover her body. How does Xiao Yun know what she’s thinking? She’s so arrogant!
“The results are in,” Xiao Yun stood up. As expected, the Beta group won.
The final: The Beta couple vs. Xia Yueyao vs. Jiang Cha.
After a fifteen-minute break, the final winner would be determined. The host reminded everyone of the luxury villa and dinner prize, boosting morale. Xiao Yun stood up and stretched, extending her hand. “Jiangjiang, let’s go.”
Without hesitation, Jiang Cha placed her hand in Xiao Yun’s. Jiang Cha’s hand was small and icy—perfect for cooling down. Xiao Yun enjoyed the feeling. The onlookers cheered. “They’re holding hands!”
Xia Yueyao scoffed. “Just a hand-hold, why get so excited?” She hopped onto her Alpha’s back, her chest pressed against her partner’s back and her face against the Alpha’s scent gland. Another wave of exclamations followed.
Xiao Yun stared. “Zhu Bajie carrying his wife?” she muttered.
Jiang Cha looked at her in confusion. “Zhu Bajie? What is that?”
Xiao Yun looked at her Omega; right, in this world, there were no great works like Journey to the West. “Nothing. Let’s get on the boat.”
Xiao Yun led her carefully onto the kayak. “Sit down first.” Jiang Cha sat slowly, gripping the sides. The kayak was narrow, and with two people, they were practically pressed together. Jiang Cha tried to slide back to give Xiao Yun space, making the boat wobble.
“Are you steady?”
“Yes.”
Xiao Yun sat in front of her. The familiar lemon scent and her silhouette were right there. Unlike before, they were only an inch apart. Any closer would be true physical intimacy.
“Dazing off?” Xiao Yun handed an oar back, her hair brushing against Jiang Cha’s back. Her nose looked sharp in the backlight.
“No.” Jiang Cha looked away and took the oar.
Xiao Yun saw the “Moon” couple nearby engaging in their fanservice. Their huddled posture actually works in my favor, she noted. She studied the lightweight kayak and used her oar to measure distances.
Jiang Cha leaned in from behind, her warm words fanning Xiao Yun’s ear: “Should we stay away from them?” She feared Xia Yueyao’s dirty tricks.
Xiao Yun’s breath hitched. “Ignore them.”
Xia Yueyao was whispering to her Alpha: “Honey, let’s drift close to them first, then use the same trick.” She was determined to win.
Director Liao Yanyan stood on the shore, whistle in her mouth. She raised her hand: “Get ready.” She blew the whistle.
It started!
Xia Yueyao’s side began rowing quickly, not forward, but toward Xiao Yun’s kayak. Xiao Yun scoffed and dug her oar deep into the water, using the leverage to steer toward Xia Yueyao instead.
“Yunyun, what are you doing?” Jiang Cha asked in surprise.
Xia Yueyao’s boat was only half a meter away. She smiled and swung her cushion at Jiang Cha. Jiang Cha instinctively grabbed Xiao Yun’s waist and ducked. The distance was too great; the cushion hit nothing, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
Xia Yueyao refused to give up. She stood up, reaching out with her whole body like a gibbon, aiming for the back of Jiang Cha’s neck. Despite her attempts to dodge, Jiang Cha was hit. She clutched her neck with a soft whimper.
Xiao Yun was suddenly filled with rage. How dare she attack someone’s scent gland?
In a split second, Xiao Yun used her oar as a lever, wedging it firmly under the bottom of Xia Yueyao’s boat. She glanced at her wristband and saw Xia Yueyao’s partner had theirs too, then looked back at the hull. The position was perfect.
Xia Yueyao, face red from being laughed at, stood up again, leaning forward for another strike.
Now!
A hot sea breeze blew by as Xiao Yun handled the oar like a scalpel, giving the “tumor” across from her a hard jab!
In an instant, the boat flipped. Xia Yueyao let out a scream before being swallowed by the water.
“The boat flipped! The boat flipped!”
Honey and Xiaomi clapped. “Yay! Revenge! Xiao Yun, that was amazing!”
Xia Yueyao had brought this upon herself. On the other side, Xia Yueyao was pulled up by her Alpha. She spat out seawater and shouted at the retreating Xiao Yun: “Xiao Yun, how could you!” Her voice was still full of “green tea” (manipulative) sweetness.
Xiao Yun rowed leisurely and turned her head. “Oh, Movie Queen Xia, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize this kayak was so flimsy. But as you said, a race is a race; you have to be able to lose gracefully, right?”
There was no rule against flipping a boat. Was pulling a bra not despicable? Was attacking a scent gland not shameful? Laughable.
She ignored Xia Yueyao’s drama and turned to Jiang Cha. Jiang Cha was flushed, one hand covering her neck. “How is it? Let me see.” Xiao Yun brushed aside Jiang Cha’s hair. “Turn around.”
Her warm touch made Jiang Cha’s skin tingle as she turned her neck. The gland had a slight red mark from the impact, with fine sweat on the surface. Xiao Yun frowned. “Is anything wrong?” A physical attack on a scent gland could cause an early heat.
Jiang Cha shook her head. “I’m fine. The cushion wasn’t sharp. Let’s finish the race.”
Xiao Yun turned and saw the Beta group was nearing the finish line. She grew anxious—she had to win that villa for the little ancestor. “Jiangjiang, hold onto me. I’m going to speed up.”
Jiang Cha, still soaking in the victory over Xia Yueyao, grabbed the edge of Xiao Yun’s shorts and sat up straight.
Xiao Yun began to exert her full strength. Her military training from medical school was finally paying off. With each powerful stroke, she gained on the Beta boat. The finish line was right there—the turning point of the race!
The onlookers held their breath. Liao Yanyan shouted: “Drones! Get over there and film!”
The victory reef was just ahead, a red flag planted on it. Xiao Yun saw nothing else. Sweat fell like rain from her cheeks.
“Yunyun, faster! We’re almost there!” Jiang Cha cried in joy.
Xiao Yun’s mind went blank as she made one final push. The boat surged forward like a naval vessel. They won!
As Xiao Yun prepared to celebrate, the boat’s momentum sent it crashing into the reef. Jiang Cha was thrown forward like a ball of cotton, slamming hard against Xiao Yun’s back. A cry of pain echoed in her ear.
The sun was red, the sea breeze was wavy—Xiao Yun felt hot and guilty!
