After Going on a Blind Date With My Omega Love Rival (ABO, GL) - Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Before saying that line, Chi Ruixi had been smiling at her, but now…

She wasn’t smiling anymore, her lips pursed.

She… looked a bit upset.

Chi Ruixi did seem upset, sipping the cold water Yu Heyi had handed her.

She felt like her expectations for Yu Heyi were getting higher and higher.

Before, hearing Yu Heyi say something like “my Omega” would’ve made her happy for half a day.

But now, for some reason, it just made her heart feel uneasy.

Yu Heyi saw their marriage as a responsibility.

That wasn’t what she wanted.

She actually wanted to ask Yu Heyi: Is that all? Just because I’m your Omega, you’d be this good to anyone? If this Omega wasn’t me, would it be the same with someone else?

But she didn’t dare ask. She was afraid Yu Heyi would say yes.

The water in the glass was soon gone, and Chi Ruixi lost her desire to keep drinking the soup, staring blankly at the glass.

“Eat a bit more?” Sensing the awkward atmosphere but unsure what she’d done wrong, Yu Heyi could only shift the focus back to eating.

She was still pretty hungry, but with Chi Ruixi zoning out like this, she felt too awkward to eat.

Seeing Yu Heyi’s somewhat appeasing expression, Chi Ruixi blurted out, “Would you be like this with any Omega, no matter who it was?”

Yu Heyi froze at her words, finally realizing why Chi Ruixi was unhappy.

But why? Her Omega was Chi Ruixi, wasn’t it? How could it be anyone else?

“My Omega is you. We’re married.”

As expected, Chi Ruixi closed her eyes and said, “So you’re only good to me because we’re married?” In other words, if we weren’t married, you wouldn’t be this good to me, right?

But Yu Heyi completely missed the subtext. She nodded matter-of-factly. “Of course. Isn’t it normal to be good to your own Omega?”

Chi Ruixi felt like they’d gone in circles, and all her indirect probing was for nothing.

She set the glass on the table and stood up. “I’m not feeling well. I’m going back.”

But as soon as she stood, Yu Heyi pulled her into a full embrace. Both in pajamas with thin fabric, the skin-to-skin contact made Chi Ruixi’s heart tremble.

In Yu Heyi’s arms, the scent of oolong tea was overwhelming. Chi Ruixi even forgot her earlier displeasure, instinctively resting her head on Yu Heyi’s shoulder, letting out a satisfied hum.

She felt like she’d been acting strange all day, even more awkward than Yu Heyi.

So… it was because she missed her pheromones.

Yu Heyi heard Chi Ruixi’s sound, and it made her ears flush. She couldn’t help but think of Chi Ruixi’s enchanting, captivating self.

She’d only been worried about Chi Ruixi feeling unwell and instinctively wanted to check on her, but she’d used too much force and ended up hugging her.

But… it seemed to work.

She didn’t think her words were a problem, but Chi Ruixi was clearly upset.

Then she remembered how sensitive Omegas get after being marked, especially dependent on an alpha’s pheromones. She’d just wanted to get closer to check, but ended up holding her.

Smelling the sweet peach scent, Yu Heyi thought maybe it wasn’t just Omegas who depended on alpha pheromones—alphas might depend on Omega pheromones too.

Yu Heyi wasn’t clueless. She could vaguely sense why Chi Ruixi was unhappy, but what could she say now? She hadn’t even sorted out her own feelings.

What promises could she make to Chi Ruixi?

And… she felt like Chi Ruixi was saying these things because of pheromone dependency.

But… Chi Ruixi was so docile now. Yu Heyi reached out to stroke her soft hair, sighing contentedly, running her hand over it again and again.

This feeling, holding Chi Ruixi like this, felt pretty nice.

She stroked for a while, and Chi Ruixi squirmed. She didn’t want her hair petted like that—did Yu Heyi think she was a kitten or puppy?

So Chi Ruixi broke free, and they faced each other. Chi Ruixi could see the reluctance on Yu Heyi’s face.

Her mood soured further. Was her figure not good enough? Was her pheromone scent not pleasant?

Why was Yu Heyi so obsessed with petting her like that?

Pouting, she glared at Yu Heyi, feeling wronged.

The more she thought, the more wronged she felt, her eyes filling with tears.

Yu Heyi was startled by her reaction, quickly grabbing her arm and asking softly, “What’s wrong?”

Was it because her actions were too rough, making Chi Ruixi unhappy?

Chi Ruixi shook off her hand and turned away.

She didn’t want Yu Heyi to see her cry.

But her wiping tears was too obvious for Yu Heyi to miss.

Yu Heyi didn’t know what was going on. Chi Ruixi had never acted like this before. After the temporary marking, they could still talk normally.

But this time felt different. Chi Ruixi was much more sensitive.

Was it a side effect of the permanent marking?

Was pheromone dependency this intense?

Yu Heyi stepped forward, gently hugging Chi Ruixi from behind. Chi Ruixi struggled for a moment before settling obediently in her arms.

She realized she wasn’t acting normal, overthinking everything, so unlike her usual self.

They hugged for a long time, until Yu Heyi’s arms started to go numb, but Chi Ruixi showed no sign of moving. Being in Yu Heyi’s arms made her feel secure.

Her body and mind were filled with the scent of oolong tea.

She was perfectly comfortable in Yu Heyi’s arms, but Yu Heyi was struggling. Holding Chi Ruixi from behind, she was close to her gland, the peach scent overwhelming, like it was drowning her.

The Omega in her arms was soft and boneless, her pheromones enticing her.

This was her Omega. She… really wanted to take a bite, even a gentle one.

She wanted to see Chi Ruixi’s eyes turn red, her enchanting self just for her.

Then she’d lightly nip at Chi Ruixi’s tear mole, feeling her charm up close.

Yu Heyi’s grip on Chi Ruixi tightened, her thoughts multiplying.

Chi Ruixi gradually sensed Yu Heyi’s change. Her pheromones grew stronger, so intense that Chi Ruixi’s legs felt weak. If she weren’t leaning into Yu Heyi’s arms, she wouldn’t have been able to stand.

As she zoned out, a sharp pain hit her neck, her body going limp. Yu Heyi, behind her, held her waist tightly.

Chi Ruixi’s change was obvious. Yu Heyi scooped her up by the waist.

Starving, Yu Heyi found the food on the table utterly unappealing. Her focus was entirely on Chi Ruixi, wanting to devour her.

To satisfy her hunger.

Chi Ruixi obediently wrapped her arms around Yu Heyi’s neck, letting her carry her to the bed.

The room filled with passion…

Afterward, Yu Heyi’s stomach protested again.

But Chi Ruixi in her arms was too precious to let go. Chi Ruixi looked exhausted, eyes half-closed. Yu Heyi nuzzled her cheek, close enough to see her long lashes clearly. Sensing her closeness, Chi Ruixi’s eyes fluttered, her hand lightly brushing Yu Heyi’s fingertips.

Yu Heyi’s heart stirred, and she gently bit Chi Ruixi’s tear mole again.

No matter how much she kissed it, it wasn’t enough. She loved that tear mole.

Each touch made Yu Heyi realize more clearly that, no matter what, she was craving Chi Ruixi now.

She wanted to keep Chi Ruixi forever, to keep everyone else far away from her.

Yu Heyi’s gaze sparkled as she brushed the stray hair from Chi Ruixi’s face, whispering in her ear, “Wanna take a bath?”

After she spoke, Chi Ruixi’s lashes trembled, and her body shifted. She propped herself up, facing away from Yu Heyi.

“I’ll shower at home.”

Home?

Yu Heyi froze. She’d thought Chi Ruixi would stay the night, not go back…

Sitting up, she hugged Chi Ruixi from behind, her voice soft. “It’s late. Don’t go…”

“It’s fine. I sleep better at home.”

…In other words, sleeping with her wasn’t comfortable?

Yu Heyi hadn’t expected Chi Ruixi to reject her so coldly.

Her grip on Chi Ruixi tightened, her oolong tea pheromones releasing bit by bit. She lightly licked Chi Ruixi’s slightly red gland.

She’d just marked her again, and Chi Ruixi was incredibly sensitive now.

With that, Chi Ruixi’s body trembled, going soft…

She turned, her red eyes glaring at Yu Heyi, filled with dissatisfaction and grievance.

Even her voice carried a sob. “Don’t do that…”

Chi Ruixi didn’t know that the more she acted like this, the more it fueled Yu Heyi’s wicked thoughts.

The dominant alpha turned the Omega’s face toward her, kissing her fiercely…

Biting her lips open.

They’d kissed several times, but Yu Heyi never tired of it. Chi Ruixi’s lips were always so sweet.

Forceful and commanding, Chi Ruixi felt her body heat up.

She could only obediently follow Yu Heyi’s lead. Yu Heyi’s body was cooler than hers, making her feel comfortable. Chi Ruixi, craving the coolness, nuzzled Yu Heyi’s cheek.

Drowsily, she wondered why Yu Heyi was so obsessed with her tear mole.

It was like she wanted to bite it off.

The next morning, Yu Heyi was woken by her alarm. She reached out to turn it off, then stretched toward the side, only to find no warmth.

The spot beside her was long cold. Yu Heyi sat up abruptly.

The room was filled with a strong peach scent…

Chi Ruixi was gone.

Yu Heyi’s heart suddenly felt empty. She still remembered how it felt to hold Chi Ruixi while sleeping last night.

Soft and comfortable, she’d slept so well.

But Chi Ruixi had run off.

They were married, weren’t they? Shouldn’t they be living together?

With that thought, Yu Heyi jumped out of bed, rushed out the door, and pounded on Chi Ruixi’s door.

This time, she knocked for ages with no response. Yu Heyi stared at Chi Ruixi’s door for a while, then ran back home, grabbed her phone, and called Chi Ruixi.

The call connected but was immediately hung up.

Yu Heyi stared at her phone, stunned. Chi Ruixi wasn’t even answering her calls?
