Why Not (Lily ABO) - Chapter 41
After returning from camping and several days of rehearsals, the New Year’s Day Gala was finally about to begin. It was called a “gala,” but it actually started at 3 PM, so as not to take up the students’ evening time.
Fu Shuyun was incredibly nervous right now, not because she was about to go on stage to host, but because she would finally meet Shi Jing’s parents tonight!
Shi Jing had submitted her annual leave request early. Her original intention was for her parents to arrive on the morning of the 1st. Even though the last day of the year was still a workday, flying over after a full day of work would be too exhausting. However, she severely underestimated how much her parents valued their daughter’s engagement. Since working felt too rushed, they simply gave the entire company the afternoon off.
With her parents making such a decision, what could Shi Jing say? Early in the morning, she first confirmed the itinerary with Fu Linfeng. Fu Linfeng’s original thought was for them all to stay at their house for a few days, but Shi Jing felt that bringing her entire family, including her younger brother, might be inappropriate. After politely declining, she booked a hotel for her parents and Shi Xu.
It was still early. She took a detour to Zhang Huming’s restaurant, packing three full boxes of Japanese food, and headed to A University. She had originally planned for them to have hot pot for lunch, but time was too tight, so she decided to bring food instead.
As soon as her morning class ended, she took out her phone and saw Sister’s message about bringing her food. She worried if Sister would be unhappy that she hadn’t replied. Stepping out of the academic building, she looked up and saw Shi Jing sitting on a stone bench under a tree, basking in the sun, with the Japanese food and two cups of bubble tea beside her. Mmm, and someone was walking up to hit on her.
“Beautiful, can I kiss you?”
“Yes, you can.”
Fu Shuyun immediately straddled Shi Jing’s lap, cupped her face, and kissed her soft lips, completely disregarding the busy flow of students leaving the teaching building after class.
The two students who had relentlessly tried to get Fu Shuyun’s contact information were stunned by this scene. Is that Fu Shuyun, the senior from the Finance Department? So dominant? Doesn’t she have a girlfriend? Looking closely, the beautiful woman seemed to be the senior’s girlfriend. Embarrassed, the two quickly apologized and hurried away.
“Sister, you’re so popular with Omegas?”
“But Sister only likes this Omega.”
The hand that had been resting innocently on her waist skillfully moved around her hips. It’s going to be the death of me.
“Always saying the right things to make me happy, muah~”
She gave her another kiss before standing up and accepting the bubble tea Shi Jing offered. She led Shi Jing back to the dorm. Thankfully, Fu Shuyun had a good relationship with the dorm manager, who allowed Shi Jing into the Omega dorm after Fu Shuyun promised she wouldn’t wander off.
“Mmm… It seems like it’s a little too much.”
Is this just “a little” too much? There was a generous layer of sashimi, sushi, and tempura. And on top of that, the bottom layer was eel rice. While Brother Ming’s Japanese food was delicious, this was way too much.
Sometimes, Shi Jing gave her the impression that she didn’t know how to control portions—like when she bought candy. She had given away so much, yet the pile of candy at home still felt like a small mountain. But Shi Jing never did this when cooking at home. Is she afraid I’ll starve?
Since it was already bought, they could eat what they could, and take the rest home for a snack this afternoon or tonight. Fu Shuyun picked up a piece of eel and put it in her mouth.
Enjoying good food is truly a joy.
This was Shi Jing’s first time in Fu Shuyun’s dorm. A University’s dorms certainly lived up to their reputation—a double room. Thinking back to her own university days, with six people crammed into one room, she couldn’t help but wonder why she hadn’t managed to get into A University back then.
“The gala starts at 3 PM. Sister, do you want to take a nap in the dorm?”
Yun Yan, who came out of class with Fu Shuyun, naturally saw Shi Jing. When a friend’s girlfriend comes to deliver a meal, a normal person wouldn’t interrupt. Especially since Fu Shuyun had told Yun Yan that she was treating her to hot pot and to meet her ‘puppy’ for lunch.
I get hot pot with my best friend when she’s with her girlfriend. Is there really such a good deal in the world?
Shi Jing also wanted to lie down on the bed in Fu Shuyun’s dorm for a bit. However, this was a two-person room. If Fu Shuyun left, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her, an Alpha, to lie there alone.
She sat on the chair and pulled Fu Shuyun, who was about to change clothes, into her lap. With the momentum, Fu Shuyun settled into her embrace.
“I want to be with Darling.”
“Mmm… Mmm, Sister…”
The familiar touch landed on her lips. Fu Shuyun opened her mouth in cooperation, letting the soft tongue slide in. Mmm… So fragrant, I love Sister’s scent. She then realized, belatedly, that they were in the dorm. She quickly pushed Shi Jing away. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but the dorm had a pheromone detector. A kiss like that would make her desperately want to make love with Sister.
Who could control their pheromones when aroused? Interrupting the situation before it spiraled out of control was the right thing to do.
“The dorm has a pheromone detector, Sister.”
“We’ll go home and do it tonight, okay?”
“Sister can fuck Darling any way she wants~”
Shi Jing once again lamented. The facilities in student dorms are already this advanced? They even have pheromone monitoring. After sitting and holding her for a while, she followed Fu Shuyun to the studio.
At the school’s studio, the logistics team was busy preparing. Fu Shuyun led Shi Jing directly into the lounge.
Fu Shuyun was preparing to host in a black gown today, the same one she wore for her last family portrait with her two mothers. The custom-fitted dress showcased her figure perfectly. With her beautiful face, she only needed light makeup. The high heels made her legs look long and slender. She was going to captivate so many people today.
Shi Jing’s mind envisioned Fu Shuyun in a wedding dress. Her eyes were glued to Fu Shuyun, so much so that she even neglected her parents, who were chatting with her on the phone.
【You don’t need to worry about those things. Your mother and I have already prepared everything.】
【Besides, we can always discuss it further, right?】
【We’re preparing to head to the airport now. See you later.】
Realizing her lapse, Shi Jing quickly redirected her attention back to the phone.
Prepared? Prepared what? Do I really not need to prepare anything? Regardless of how much Fu Linfeng and Jiang Xu approved of their relationship, engagement and marriage were significant events. Forming a family involved considerations beyond dating. Shi Jing didn’t understand any of it, so she could only ask her parents, but their reply was that she shouldn’t worry.
How can I not worry!
What if I fail to satisfy Fu Linfeng and Jiang Xu and they forbid Fu Shuyun from marrying me?
Shi Jing’s overly fervent gaze was impossible to ignore. Fu Shuyun was very satisfied with the Alpha’s reaction, noticing even the slight panic at the end.
She didn’t know Shi Jing was worried about things that wouldn’t happen, only thinking that Shi Jing was flustered after being caught looking.
I’m Sister’s Omega anyway, so looking at me openly is fine. If Sister hadn’t been coming today, she wouldn’t have bothered with the gown and high heels. After all, she rarely had a chance to wear such an outfit. It wasn’t suitable for everyday wear, and it was exhausting. Standing still was the most she could manage.
Alright, I’ve decided. Tonight, I’m going to wear this outfit and thoroughly consume Sister.
