After Going on a Blind Date With My Omega Love Rival (ABO, GL) - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The April sunlight wasn’t too harsh, but Yu Heyi, sitting on the hospital bed and looking out the window, still felt her eyes stinging, or maybe it was her heart stinging more.

A minute ago, her WeChat pinged. It was from Jing Wan—in the class WeChat group.

She jolted upright, aggravating the injury in her left leg. Grimacing in pain, she opened WeChat, but after one glance, the pain in her wound seemed to intensify.

Jing Wan had gotten married.

Yu Heyi brushed aside the bangs covering her eyes, looked at her injured leg, and thought to herself that bad things really do come all at once.

Three days ago was her first time competing in the N4 group. The three-day race ended for her on the first day because she misjudged a sharp turn, fracturing her left leg.

She might never race again. Her leg wouldn’t recover to its peak condition, unable to withstand the demands of multi-day races.

So, she was facing retirement.

She learned this news yesterday and had been silent for a whole day. When Jing Wan messaged her today, she thought it was out of concern.

But it was about marriage.

Fine, even if it wasn’t about marriage, Jing Wan probably didn’t know about her injury. She might not even know Yu Heyi was a racer.

But seeing the person she’d liked for years get married at a time like this? It hurt so much more, arghhh…

Was there anything worse than failing in both career and love?

At least Yu Heyi thought so right now. Jing Wan… married. Yu Heyi lay back down, pulling the blanket over her head. She wanted to wallow for a bit, but within a minute, WeChat pinged again.

Jing Wan again.

“The wedding’s in July. Here’s a sneak peek of my wedding photos.”

Jing Wan sent the time and address, and Yu Heyi’s heart ached again. Then came a flood of wedding photos. After sending them, Jing Wan added in the group chat:

“My alpha is super hot!!!”

Yu Heyi froze at the message. Alpha??? She bolted upright, incredulously rubbing her eyes, then checked the screen again to confirm it was “alpha.”

In the photos, the tall, handsome male alpha stood with Jing Wan nestled sweetly in his arms. There were pictures of them kissing and one of Jing Wan being carried princess-style.

No matter how you looked at it, Jing Wan’s spouse screamed alpha.

But… didn’t Jing Wan like betas?

Didn’t she like that beta, Chi Ruixi?

Yu Heyi still remembered confessing to Jing Wan back in school. Jing Wan told her she didn’t like alphas, then pointed at Chi Ruixi nearby and said, “I like betas, especially ones like Ruixi.”

From then on, Yu Heyi saw Chi Ruixi as her rival. From age 16 to 28, she loathed Chi Ruixi—first because of Jing Wan, then because she genuinely found Chi Ruixi annoying.

From behind, Chi Ruixi seemed like a beauty—long black hair, decent height. Not as tall as an alpha, but still leggy. But face-to-face? Yu Heyi found her unbearable. Thick bangs hid her features, and all she did was study, like some bookworm.

Yu Heyi couldn’t even recall what Chi Ruixi looked like now—or even back then. But she knew she really disliked her.

Before learning Jing Wan liked Chi Ruixi, Yu Heyi had asked Chi Ruixi to pass love letters to Jing Wan. No response came. After two tries, she couldn’t hold back and confessed in person. Jing Wan, confused, asked, “What love letters?”

Unable to stop herself, Yu Heyi confessed her feelings. Then Chi Ruixi appeared behind Jing Wan like a ghost, and the confession crashed and burned. After learning Jing Wan liked Chi Ruixi, Yu Heyi realized how foolish she’d been.

She’d handed her love letters to her rival. She already had a bad impression of Chi Ruixi, but after that? She truly despised her.

That hatred lasted over a decade. Her co-driver, Jiang Qi, also a classmate, would bring up high school days, and any mention of Chi Ruixi made Yu Heyi instinctively grimace.

So, if you asked Yu Heyi who she hated most in her life, it’d definitely be Chi Ruixi.

As Yu Heyi stewed over her hated rival, the door opened. A woman who looked about 50% similar to Yu Heyi walked in, holding a thermos.

“Eat,” the woman said, her voice oddly girlish, clashing with her sultry face. She wore a tight, bright red dress that hugged her stunning, alluring figure.

It didn’t match at all.

Recognizing the woman, Yu Heyi sighed helplessly, rolled her eyes, and said, “Old Yu’s not here. Why’re you dressed like that? This is a hospital.”

The woman raised her hand to swat Yu Heyi’s head but stopped, remembering her injury. She rolled her eyes back, mimicking Yu Heyi, and said, “Old Yu’s not here, but this lady still needs to stay gorgeous.”

…Yu Heyi, very worried her mom might make her dad jealous, said, “Don’t dress like that when you go out.”

Du Ruo shrugged carelessly. “I’ll dress like this. What’re you gonna do about it?”

Right. If even her mother couldn’t control her mommy, what could Yu Heyi do? She took the thermos and prepared to drink the soup. Her hands were fine; it was her leg that was the issue, so she could eat on her own.

The chicken soup, clearly made by Lady Du herself, smelled amazing~

Just as she was about to drink, Lady Du smacked her arm. Yu Heyi looked at her, confused. Lady Du’s face was flushed, a bit shy and coy.

From what Yu Heyi knew of her mommy, this meant trouble.

Sure enough, she heard Lady Du’s voice, softer and sweeter than usual, say, “Pour out a small bowl. Save the rest for Xiao Qi.”

Yu Heyi froze. Was this really her birth mommy, the one who carried her for nine months, saying this? She looked at her mom—fair-skinned, beautiful, soft, and vulnerable.

Sometimes shy like a girl, sometimes mature and sexy.

This top-tier Omega? Yu Heyi had to keep her safe for Old Yu.

Protecting the thermos, Yu Heyi shouted, “I’ll finish this and take some to her. Jiang Qi won’t mind.”

Jiang Qi was in the next room, injured worse than her. They hadn’t seen each other since the accident. Jiang Qi’s family wasn’t in Xijing City, so Lady Du was helping out.

This made Yu Heyi wonder: was her mom eyeing the young, fresh meat?

After all, Jiang Qi was a bit more “alpha” than most female alphas. Argh, so sorry, Old Yu.

“Don’t get any ideas about Jiang Qi. She’s into alphas. She doesn’t like Omegas.”

Lady Du’s mouth dropped open in shock, her face full of disbelief. “You and Xiao Qi? Xiao Qi and you?”

Oh my god, Mommy, really…

Her bad mood from Jing Wan’s marriage and her looming retirement? Cured by Lady Du. Truly, her mommy was the most headache-inducing one.

Lady Du, Du Ruo, a new-generation fashionable female Omega, 46 years old. Yep, she had Yu Heyi at 18.

According to Lady Du, she and Old Yu fell in love at first sight. Old Yu pursued her passionately, and half-reluctantly, they had Yu Heyi.

Half-reluctantly? As if she was so unwilling. Young Yu Heyi believed her mommy until she differentiated and fell for Jing Wan. Then she set her sights on Old Yu. After all, her young, beautiful Omega mommy was tamed by Old Yu, and Yu Heyi genuinely admired that.

But according to Old Yu, Lady Du nearly drooled when she first saw her, then chased her relentlessly. Old Yu initially refused, being ten years older.

Later, Old Yu half-reluctantly…

Anyway, they got married fast.

The legal marriage age for Omegas is 18, for alphas, 20. Lady Du, not wanting to hold the country back, got married to Old Yu on her 18th birthday, nearly giving her grandpa a stroke.

Getting married wasn’t even the wildest part. The real kicker? Yu Heyi was already in Lady Du’s belly.

“Mommy… you’re overthinking. I like Omegas.”

“Mommy doesn’t believe you.”

Uh… Yu Heyi stared at her mom in disbelief. Why was she so convinced?

Skeptical, Yu Heyi asked, “So, you really think I’m with Jiang Qi?”

Du Ruo said, as if it was obvious, “What else?”

“Well…” Yu Heyi started to explain, but Du Ruo cut in, “Wait, you really thought I was into Xiao Qi???”

No, she didn’t.

Yu Heyi shook her head vigorously. In her excitement, she reached for Du Ruo’s hand. Du Ruo looked ready to cry, and if she complained to Old Yu, Yu Heyi would be in trouble.

Du Ruo wiped nonexistent tears, looking disappointedly at Yu Heyi, then pulled out her phone and dialed. It was answered instantly.

Yu Heyi had a bad feeling.

“Old Yu… Heyi’s bullying me. She’s got an alpha and doesn’t want her mommy anymore, waaa.”

Yu Heyi felt like life wasn’t worth living. Mommy really didn’t need to lie so dramatically…

“Yu Heyi, no matter who you’re with, you can’t bully Mommy, got it?” A stern female voice came through—her alpha mom.

As expected, she wasn’t the product of their love but a stumbling block, right?

She knew such an outrageous lie wouldn’t fool her mom, since she’d told her about liking Jing Wan, an Omega.

But Old Yu would care a lot about her wife being “bullied.”

Yu Heyi grabbed the phone to explain, “Mom, I didn’t bully Mommy. She’s saying I’m with Jiang Qi.”

“Waaa, Old Yu, look, she stole my phone.”

…Her hand froze on the phone. How was her mommy so dramatic?

And Old Yu indulged her.

Yu Heyi roared, “I like Omegas!!!”

Lady Du instantly stopped fake-crying. Blinking, she said, “Awesome, Heyi! Mommy’s setting you up on a blind date.”
