After Going on a Blind Date With My Omega Love Rival (ABO, GL) - Chapter 23

Chapter 23

The feeling of being permanently marked was very different from a temporary mark.

But she couldn’t quite explain it. Chi Ruixi only felt that her entire being, from inside out, was filled with the scent of oolong tea, faintly blending with peach.

Even her heart began to feel intoxicated.

The carefully chosen bridesmaid dress clung tightly to her body due to sweat.

And she… clung tightly to Yu Heyi’s body.

“Phew…” Having just been marked, Chi Ruixi could only pant heavily in Yu Heyi’s arms. Compared to Chi Ruixi, Yu Heyi was much better off, with only slight panting and a look of satisfaction…

She stroked Chi Ruixi’s back over and over again.

Both of them were exhausted, so neither wanted to move much.

They stayed in that position for over ten minutes. Gradually, Chi Ruixi came back to herself and tried to pull away from Yu Heyi’s embrace. But as soon as she moved, Yu Heyi pulled her back into her arms.

Chi Ruixi felt hot pressed against Yu Heyi. She pouted a little unhappily, her voice slightly whiny as she asked Yu Heyi, “What are you doing… I’m so hot.”

Her voice was soft as anything, her face still flushed with lingering redness.

Yu Heyi stared at Chi Ruixi’s captivating appearance and didn’t say a word. So Chi Ruixi repeated, “Let go of me, it’s hot.”

“Huh? Oh, oh, I…” Yu Heyi hurriedly let go of Chi Ruixi, a bit flustered. But while her hands left Chi Ruixi’s waist, they didn’t leave her dress.

The tulle fabric felt quite nice to touch.

And Chi Ruixi’s dress was truly beautiful, giving her a delicate air. Yu Heyi was used to seeing Chi Ruixi in professional attire, so seeing her in such a vibrant color for once made Yu Heyi reluctant to let go.

As she touched Chi Ruixi’s dress, Yu Heyi’s eyes roamed up and down Chi Ruixi’s body.

Chi Ruixi hadn’t expected Yu Heyi to look at her like that.

Her cheeks started to burn; Yu Heyi’s gaze was just too intense.

She slightly lowered her head, not daring to meet Yu Heyi’s eyes.

Suppressing her shyness, she pushed away Yu Heyi’s hand on her dress and blinked.

“How long are you going to keep touching?” In truth, she wanted to ask, how long are you going to keep looking?

This couldn’t go on. She worried that Yu Heyi’s burning gaze might push her into another heat cycle.

She didn’t want to do it in the car.

She wanted to go home, to Yu Heyi’s big bed.

That would be more comfortable.

The more she thought about it, the hotter her face felt, and even her heart started to burn.

“Shall we… go home?” At some point, Yu Heyi had let go of her dress, and her gaze had changed. It was no longer the intense look that seemed like it wanted to swallow her whole.

In fact, even while touching Chi Ruixi’s dress, Yu Heyi’s mind was filled with images from earlier.

It was as if every time she was with Chi Ruixi, Yu Heyi became someone else. That possessive person from earlier—she barely recognized herself. Thinking back to her dazed state, Yu Heyi felt a bit uneasy.

But then, it was all because of that one sentence from Chi Ruixi: If you can’t do it, I’ll find another alpha.

Which alpha could accept that?

Yu Heyi certainly couldn’t!

And to say she’d find another alpha in front of the alpha who had marked her.

Was she saying Yu Heyi couldn’t satisfy her?

Thinking about it this way, Yu Heyi felt justified. In that situation, she had to do what she did.

But now… why was it that she found Chi Ruixi even more alluring?

After the permanent marking, Chi Ruixi’s pheromones practically overflowed in her body.

The feeling was just too exhilarating; she wanted to do it again.

She didn’t want Chi Ruixi to leave her embrace, so she lingered on everything about Chi Ruixi.

After they got home, it didn’t take long before they went at it again. This time, it wasn’t Chi Ruixi who initiated it, but Yu Heyi.

She greedily kissed Chi Ruixi’s lips, her earlobes, everything.

The scent of oolong and peach filled the entire room.

Until both were utterly exhausted, Yu Heyi carried Chi Ruixi to take a bath.

Chi Ruixi was completely worn out, nestling obediently in Yu Heyi’s arms. Yu Heyi carefully placed her in the bathtub, then got in herself, holding Chi Ruixi from behind.

After the bath, Chi Ruixi fell asleep quickly. Yu Heyi looked at her sleeping face.

Chi Ruixi’s eyelashes were long. Yu Heyi brushed them lightly, then touched her face, causing Chi Ruixi to let out a discontented hum. Startled, Yu Heyi quickly pulled her hand back.

She felt like a creep, not even leaving Chi Ruixi alone while she slept.

The next morning, Yu Heyi woke up first. She tiptoed out of bed, seeing Chi Ruixi sleeping soundly, and quietly closed the door.

With the experience from last time, Yu Heyi quickly ordered ingredients.

Then she opened the fridge and looked at what was inside: tomatoes, eggs, and milk.

But no bread.

Yu Heyi was frowning at the limited options when she suddenly felt a tug at her waist, her back pressed against a soft body.

It was a familiar morning, a familiar person, and a familiar embrace.

The only difference was that Chi Ruixi didn’t call her name like last time. Instead, Yu Heyi spoke first.

“What? Slept enough?”

“Mmm…” Freshly awake, Chi Ruixi’s voice was soft, just like in certain moments…

Yu Heyi had to admit, she was starting to like Chi Ruixi’s body.

As for the person… she hadn’t figured that out yet.

But she didn’t dislike her anymore.

Maybe even found her a bit likable.

And she didn’t know whether Chi Ruixi liked her or just her pheromones.

Before all this happened, Chi Ruixi had been quite cold toward her for a few days, a far cry from the Chi Ruixi who now depended on her.

She thought maybe Chi Ruixi wasn’t sure whether she liked her or her pheromones either.

But that didn’t seem to matter so much anymore. The current Chi Ruixi had been permanently marked by her, was her Omega, and would bear her mark for life.

Her Omega. Thinking about it made her kind of happy.

“What do you want to eat? Let’s order takeout.” The ingredients at home were hard to work with, and Yu Heyi didn’t want Chi Ruixi to settle, so takeout seemed better.

To her surprise, Chi Ruixi shook her head, leaning against her back and saying softly, “Whatever you make, I’ll eat.”

This Chi Ruixi softened Yu Heyi’s heart. She took Chi Ruixi’s hand and said, “Let’s get takeout.”

In the end, breakfast was ordered: buns, porridge, and a side of pickled vegetables.

After eating, Yu Heyi cleaned up the trash and was about to set it by the door when Chi Ruixi suddenly pounced on her.

Another heat cycle had started.

Chi Ruixi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her. Her eyes were a bit round, usually looking pure and cute, but now… Yu Heyi found them incredibly seductive.

She set down the bag and kissed Chi Ruixi passionately.

She only let go when Chi Ruixi was breathless.

Her kissed lips were red, even more enticing.

Just as Yu Heyi was about to give in to temptation, there was a knock at the door.

Yu Heyi suddenly remembered she’d ordered a bunch of ingredients earlier that morning.

“Wait a sec, let me grab the stuff, okay?” She turned to open the door, but Chi Ruixi had no intention of letting her go. As Yu Heyi opened the door, Chi Ruixi pounced on her back, tightly hugging her waist.

Then she kissed Yu Heyi’s barely noticeable gland.

Yu Heyi’s hand paused on the door, but the person outside kept knocking.

This was too much.

Chi Ruixi was being way too naughty.

How was she supposed to face anyone like this?

The person kept knocking, and since the door wasn’t opening, they even called Yu Heyi.

Yu Heyi hung up the call, took a deep breath, and opened the door just a crack, so the person outside couldn’t see Chi Ruixi behind her.

And… Chi Ruixi never let up the whole time.

She kept teasing her.

Yu Heyi quickly took the delivery and closed the door.

When she turned around, she caught Chi Ruixi’s sly look.

Furious, Yu Heyi decided she had to punish her properly.

Punish her for seven days, make it so she couldn’t get out of bed.

And that’s exactly what Yu Heyi did.

For a whole seven days.

That morning, they took leave from work and spent the entire time at home, tangled up together.

During those seven days, Yu Heyi forgot her doubts, focused only on the beautiful Chi Ruixi in front of her.

The scents of oolong tea and peach blended again and again.

The feeling of a permanent mark was nothing like a temporary one.

On the morning of the seventh day, when Chi Ruixi’s heat cycle ended, Yu Heyi finally picked up her phone. There were several missed calls, including a WeChat message from Jingwan.

“How are things with you and Ruixi?”

How were things?

Yu Heyi didn’t know what to make of their situation.

Like last time, Chi Ruixi had been wearing her shirts. Her dress had been washed by Yu Heyi one night, so after bathing, Chi Ruixi had simply put on Yu Heyi’s dress.

Her phone was also full of missed calls and WeChat messages.

The most persistent was Chi Ying, just like last time.

Last time, it took a lot of explaining for Chi Ying to stop pressing.

This time… she didn’t know if Yu Heyi would say the same things as before.

Yu Heyi sat on the couch, watching Chi Ruixi come out of the bathroom.

Then she started to feel nervous. The issue she’d deliberately ignored for seven days finally had to be addressed.

“Chi Ruixi…” she began awkwardly.

Chi Ruixi was sitting on the couch, drying her hair. She hummed in response without looking up.

They both knew what was coming.

Yu Heyi hesitated for a long time before finally saying, “Let’s get married.”

But Chi Ruixi still didn’t look up.

Yu Heyi suddenly felt nervous. This wasn’t like last time, with just a temporary mark.

This was a permanent mark. A permanent mark.

Panicking, Yu Heyi said urgently, “Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility.”

This time, Chi Ruixi looked up at her, but her expression was odd.

Her voice was cold. “I’ve said before, I don’t need that.”

“But… this is a permanent mark.”

“I can have it removed.”

Chi Ruixi kept that strange expression, and Yu Heyi’s scalp tingled under her gaze. Her mood inexplicably turned irritable, and her tone became sharp.

“Do you know how much damage removing a mark does to an Omega?”

Chi Ruixi replied calmly, “I know.”

“But just taking responsibility isn’t necessary.”

“I’ll treat you well, I definitely will…”

“Forget it, it’s not necessary.” Chi Ruixi repeated, it’s not necessary. Ignoring Yu Heyi’s darkening expression, she added, “Anyway, there’s no love between us. You don’t need to take responsibility.”

Those words completely enraged Yu Heyi. She practically shouted, “How do you know there’s no love if you don’t try?”

Hearing Yu Heyi’s words, Chi Ruixi gave a slight smirk, thinking to herself, Yu Heyi really is a rebellious kid.
