After Going on a Blind Date With My Omega Love Rival (ABO, GL) - Chapter 45

Chapter 45

After saying this, Yu Heyi felt something was off. She was at Chi Ruixi’s house, so…?

“Damn, this, this, this…”

Jiang Qi, on the other end, heard her voice and sounded a bit freaked out, asking, “What’s wrong, bro???”

“Nothing… nothing.” Yu Heyi’s voice trembled as she replied.

She looked up at Chi Ruixi’s serious face and, for no reason, felt a wave of panic. She swore her ponytail was about to stand on end, like a cat with its fur puffed up.

Her whole body shivered.

Chi Ruixi’s gaze was exactly like… catching a student secretly playing games in class.

Ugh… so scary.

“Jiang Qi, I’m logging off.”

Before disconnecting, both Yu Heyi and Chi Ruixi heard Jiang Qi’s somewhat desperate voice.

“Yu Heyi, you’re screwing me over again!!!”

Time ticked by, and Yu Heyi sat on the sofa like a good student for nearly ten minutes. Across from her, Teacher Chi didn’t say a word, just stared at her.

The fear of a bad student facing a teacher made Yu Heyi swallow hard. Subconsciously, she blurted out, “Teacher Chi…”

“Hm?” Teacher Chi responded with a nasal hum, her face still stern.

Yu Heyi’s heart skipped a beat. She had no idea why she was so scared, but she was terrified.

“Playing with Jingwan again this time?”

“No, no, it’s not like that!”

Yu Heyi knew the incident of playing games with Jingwan wouldn’t be forgotten so easily. She hurriedly explained, “It was just Jiang Qi. I didn’t play with Jingwan.” She even raised three fingers to swear.

Yu Heyi had no clue that her current state—super timid, yet timidly adorable—made Chi Ruixi want to tease her.

“Yu Heyi, smoking, cussing, and playing games with someone you used to like. Is there anything you wouldn’t dare do?”

…Yu Heyi thought, I’m done for. Chi Ruixi is settling old scores.

Her face ashen, Yu Heyi closed her eyes, awaiting Teacher Chi’s judgment.

But after waiting a bit without hearing Teacher Chi’s voice, Yu Heyi cracked one eye open to sneak a peek at Chi Ruixi, only to meet Chi Ruixi’s smiling face.

A gentle, beautiful smile.

“Smoke less, watch your language, and one last thing—didn’t you say you’d only play games with me?”

Wait, when did she say that? Wasn’t it Chi Ruixi who said to only play with her?

But seeing Chi Ruixi’s slightly aggrieved expression, Yu Heyi couldn’t argue.

Chi Ruixi didn’t actually want to scold her. She just thought Yu Heyi’s current timid, adorable look was too much, and she couldn’t resist teasing her.

“Don’t want to play with me?”

“No, no way.” Yu Heyi shook her head like a rattle drum. How could she not want to play with Chi Ruixi?

But if she only played with Chi Ruixi, what about her duo games with Jiang Qi?

“Can we do a trio?”

“What?” Chi Ruixi didn’t catch that, a trace of confusion on her face.

“Like, playing with Jiang Qi too.”

After Yu Heyi said this, the air froze again.

Chi Ruixi crossed one leg over the other, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at her. Soon, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“I won’t play with you for too long. When you have time, you can still play with Jiang Qi. But when I’m playing, it’s just us.”

It wasn’t until Chi Ruixi laughed out loud that Yu Heyi realized Chi Ruixi had been teasing her.

Suddenly, she wasn’t timid anymore. She stepped forward, sat on the sofa, scooped Chi Ruixi up, placed her on her lap, and hooked her chin, saying, “Were you doing that on purpose?”

Chi Ruixi’s face flushed, and her heart raced from Yu Heyi’s sudden move. Her hands didn’t know where to go, so she braced them against Yu Heyi’s shoulders. Her chin, held by Yu Heyi, felt uncomfortable. She tried to break free, but Yu Heyi was too strong. She could only whisper, “I saw you playing with someone else, and I wasn’t happy.”

Chi Ruixi’s lips moved, full and moist. Yu Heyi couldn’t resist licking her own lips and kissed her.

“Mm…” Chi Ruixi let out a soft hum. She hadn’t expected Yu Heyi to kiss her suddenly, and it was a bite on her lips, a bit painful.

It was just a bite, not too hard, but it left Chi Ruixi wanting more. She lightly flicked her tongue, hoping for a deeper kiss, but Yu Heyi seemed oblivious, only nibbling her lips.

When Yu Heyi pulled away, Chi Ruixi was reluctant, wanting to chase after her, but Yu Heyi covered her mouth.

“I’ve got a bit of a cold. Wouldn’t want to pass it to you.”

Chi Ruixi felt teased but had no proof. Pouting, she slid off Yu Heyi’s lap and sat to the side, ignoring her.

Yu Heyi knew she was a bit upset, but thinking of how Chi Ruixi had scolded her earlier, she felt her actions were justified. Plus… Chi Ruixi’s sulky look was kind of cute.

Worth it.

Even if she didn’t get a full kiss, it was worth it.

“You hungry?”

“Hmph…” All Yu Heyi got was Chi Ruixi’s dissatisfied grumble.

Glancing at the time, it was just noon. There was still plenty of time to spend with Chi Ruixi, and today was their first weekend together.

Thinking of the unwashed dishes in the kitchen, Yu Heyi stood up to clean them and maybe whip up something to eat.

But as soon as she stood, Chi Ruixi turned her head.

Chi Ruixi, who was sulking and waiting for Yu Heyi to coax her, saw Yu Heyi stand up and ignore her.

Thinking Yu Heyi was leaving, Chi Ruixi dropped the act, knelt on the sofa, and hugged Yu Heyi from behind, her voice muffled, “Where are you going??”

Yu Heyi, caught in the hug, froze for a moment, then placed her hand on Chi Ruixi’s, patting it soothingly.

“I’m going to wash the dishes and make something to eat.”

Hearing this, Chi Ruixi let go, a bit embarrassed. So it was just about cooking. She thought…

“Go ahead then.”

Chi Ruixi sat back down, then, as if remembering something, tugged at Yu Heyi’s clothes.

Yu Heyi, who had taken two steps, was pulled back. She turned around, a bit helplessly asking, “What’s up now?”

“Have you taken your medicine?”

“I have.” Though her throat was still a bit off, it wasn’t as hoarse as in the morning.

Chi Ruixi made her sit on the sofa, then lowered her head and said, “I’ll cook. You rest.”

Yu Heyi’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You know how?”

This question annoyed Chi Ruixi. What, did Yu Heyi think she was some pampered princess who never touched a chore?

She snapped, “I can cook.”

Soon, the sound of running water came from the kitchen. Yu Heyi glanced over, and it actually looked like Chi Ruixi knew what she was doing.

Before long, the food was ready.

Chi Ruixi made two simple dishes: stir-fried pork with chili and tomato with eggs.

It smelled pretty good. Yu Heyi was about to dig in when Chi Ruixi swatted her hand. Looking up, she met Chi Ruixi’s stern gaze. “Go wash your hands.”

…Alright, her bad.

But Chi Ruixi’s cooking was genuinely delicious. After eating, Yu Heyi slumped in her chair, rubbing her stomach, clearly stuffed.

While she was done, Chi Ruixi was still eating. By the time Yu Heyi felt less bloated, Chi Ruixi finished, propped her chin, and grinned at Yu Heyi. “From now on… you wash the dishes, okay?”

Okay? Or not okay?

Yu Heyi proved it was okay with her actions, obediently washing the dishes.

Afterward, both sprawled on the sofa. Yu Heyi was still full, lounging listlessly.

But Chi Ruixi, well-rested and well-fed, was full of energy.

“Let’s play a game?”

“Hm?”

It turned out Chi Ruixi had never played this game. Forget fighting others—she couldn’t even find herself, running aimlessly around the map, never reaching where she needed to be.

And… Yu Heyi noticed that Omega had an odd obsession with mid-lane mages. Chi Ruixi picked Angela, her twin braids bouncing as she moved, but she couldn’t hit anyone.

It was just a beginner bot match—how could she play this badly?

Beginner bots, and she ended 1-11-1. The kill was from Yu Heyi, the assist from tagging along with her.

When the game ended, Yu Heyi wanted to tell Chi Ruixi she wasn’t cut out for this game, but seeing Chi Ruixi’s eager eyes, she held her tongue.

“Pick Yao.”

“What’s Yao?”

“The pink girl who turns into a deer.”

Having Chi Ruixi as a support attached to her would ease Yu Heyi’s mind.

But when the game started… watching the support repeatedly run to the enemy base and feed, Yu Heyi’s head throbbed. She didn’t feel stuffed anymore.

It was sunny and nice outside. Why was she cooped up in Chi Ruixi’s house, playing this maddening game?

After the game, Yu Heyi said she was tired and didn’t want to play, suggesting a ride instead.

Chi Ruixi hesitated, seeming reluctant to go out.

“Or… we stay home and watch TV?”

But Chi Ruixi shook her head vigorously. “I was thinking, motorcycle or car? I kinda want to ride the motorcycle…”

…So that’s what she was hesitating about? Just say it!

“Motorcycle it is.”

“Mm…”

In the underground parking lot, Yu Heyi straddled the bike and handed Chi Ruixi a helmet. “You know how to put it on, right?”

Chi Ruixi thought it was no big deal and nodded, but she struggled to get it on right.

“You’re so clumsy. Let me.” Yu Heyi fastened it for her, then tapped the helmet. Chi Ruixi’s head bobbed, looking a bit goofy and cute. Yu Heyi couldn’t help but laugh—Chi Ruixi like this was rare.

Sunscreen jacket, short sleeves, shorts, and long, fair legs. Yu Heyi recalled how Chi Ruixi had carefully applied sunscreen before leaving. Compared to her, Yu Heyi felt so careless.

Sunglasses on, ready to roll.

“Hold my waist.”

As soon as she said it, she felt Chi Ruixi’s arms wrap tightly around her, so tight it was hard to move.

“Loosen up a bit.”

“Oh.” Chi Ruixi obediently loosened her grip, then leaned against Yu Heyi.

In the city, Yu Heyi rode slowly. In the suburbs, she gradually sped up, eventually flying like the wind.

Chi Ruixi started clinging tightly again, their bodies pressed close.

“I’ll slow down. Don’t be scared.” The wind was loud, so Yu Heyi shouted. Chi Ruixi shouted back, “No need. I’m not scared with you here.”
