After Going on a Blind Date With My Omega Love Rival (ABO, GL) - Chapter 54

Chapter 55

“Uncle, come save me! He’s trying to gank me, ahhh!!”

“Uncle, help me catch him!!”

Listening to Chi Ying’s cries, Yu Heyi was running herself ragged. As an ADC, constantly going to support top lane was a long trek, okay?

And how was Chi Ying’s skill just a tiny bit better than Chi Ruixi’s?

If Chi Ruixi was bronze, then Chi Ying was probably silver… maybe close to gold at best, no higher.

“Chi Ying, why don’t you play support?”

It’s not that Yu Heyi looked down on the support role, but as an ADC, having a support nearby made it easier to save her.

Who knew Chi Ying would flat-out refuse?

“No way! An alpha has to fight, fight, fight!!!”

“I want to play top lane, I want to play tank, I want to fight, fight, fight!!!”

Seeing Chi Ying all hyped up like she’d been injected with adrenaline, Yu Heyi was helpless. She couldn’t help but marvel at the power of games. Chi Ying had been in a bad mood before playing, but after a few matches, her spirits were sky-high.

In the end, Yu Heyi called it quits. She was exhausted. Playing support like this for an hour was just…

And then Chi Ying had the nerve to complain.

“Uncle, you can’t help me as an ADC. Why don’t you play jungle? Zhan Yuan always jungles to support me, and she’s super good.”

When she mentioned Zhan Yuan, Chi Ying’s eyes practically sparkled.

But soon, her smile faded, and she sighed, “Ugh, but Zhan Yuan hasn’t played with me in forever.”

That pitiful look…

Yu Heyi couldn’t resist teasing her. “Hey, Chi Ying, do you have a crush on that Zhan Yuan?”

“Me? How could I like her? Zhan Yuan’s my good friend, and she’s going to differentiate into an alpha.” Chi Ying looked at Yu Heyi like she was an idiot.

That look made Yu Heyi think she was a bit cheeky. Was being an alpha the issue? Not at all, okay?

So she asked, “What if Zhan Yuan differentiates into an Omega?”

Chi Ying froze, as if she hadn’t considered it. Her face turned bright red, and she stammered, “No matter what she differentiates into, who… who would like her?”

Then she nodded to herself, saying, “Who’d like Zhan Yuan anyway!!!”

If her face wasn’t still red, Yu Heyi might’ve believed her.

And… why did Chi Ying’s words feel oddly familiar?

She’d said something similar before.

“Who’d like someone like Chi Ruixi???”

“Chi Ruixi’s just a beta.”

Realizing too late, Yu Heyi felt like she’d just slapped herself in the face. Ouch.

At that moment, Chi Ying, oblivious, poked her shoulder and asked, “Uncle, how did you and Auntie get together?”

Yu Heyi turned to her gossipy little face, thinking, If I told you the truth, what would you think?

If I said… the first day I met your aunt on a blind date, I slept with her, gave her a temporary mark, then slept with her again soon after, and gave her a permanent mark.

And then we got married—would Chi Ying be scared to death?

Plus… her face was still stinging from her own self-inflicted slaps. Back then, she’d said the same thing about not liking Chi Ruixi, and now…

Chi Ruixi had only been gone for a bit, and Yu Heyi already wanted her to hurry back.

Thinking about it made Yu Heyi feel awkward, not for any other reason but because she’d slapped her own face so hard.

“Uncle? What are you thinking about?” Chi Ying noticed her zoning out and couldn’t help asking.

She wondered if she’d asked something she shouldn’t have.

But she had so many more questions, okay?

“Uncle… do you think an alpha can only be with an Omega?”

“What?” Yu Heyi vaguely heard her question but wasn’t sure, so she asked back. That made Chi Ying’s face turn even redder.

She didn’t want to repeat herself.

But Yu Heyi pressed on, “You mean, you and Zhan Yuan?”

…Mentioning Zhan Yuan’s name made Chi Ying’s face burn even more.

She stammered, “No, I didn’t mean that. I’m just curious…”

Yu Heyi nodded and said, “Oh, curious, huh? Then why are you curious about alpha and alpha? Do you have a crush on an alpha?”

“No! I don’t!”

“Then which alpha were you talking about, if not maybe Zhan Yuan?”

Argh, Chi Ying was going crazy. Why did she ask Yu Heyi something like that?

For a long while, Chi Ying didn’t say anything more. Yu Heyi stopped teasing her, patted her leg, and gestured for her to look at her.

“Actually, I think if you like someone, it doesn’t matter if they’re an alpha, Omega, or beta. That’s not important. What matters is you like the person.”

Chi Ying hadn’t expected Yu Heyi to get serious. She stared at her blankly, then nodded after a moment, mulling over her words. Suddenly, it clicked.

Zhan Yuan’s reactions… she probably liked her, right?

And she felt some unexplained possessiveness toward Zhan Yuan. Being ignored lately was driving her up the wall.

Both of them fell quiet, lost in their own thoughts.

Yu Heyi’s mind replayed what Chi Ying said during the game.

An alpha has to fight, fight, fight!

In simple terms, be bold. Thinking about her daily life with Chi Ruixi, things were great, but they were both avoiding something.

Yu Heyi had never seriously admitted her feelings for Chi Ruixi.

Neither had Chi Ruixi.

They’d just muddled along to this point, ambiguous yet domestic.

It felt like something was missing—passion.

There was none of that “alpha has to fight, fight, fight” vibe Chi Ying talked about.

As for Chi Ruixi… she was so cold at first, then somehow turned gentle. It was all… kind of a blur.

Yeah, a total blur.

Chi Shengxi had suggested taking Chi Ruixi to lunch, but Chi Ruixi declined.

“Let’s just talk here briefly. Xiao Ying’s still at home.”

Thinking of Chi Ying, Chi Shengxi fell silent, a hint of guilt on her face.

“I really don’t know how to be a mom.”

She wasn’t thoughtful, gentle, or attentive enough.

Seeing her expression, Chi Ruixi’s lips moved, wanting to say something, but she stopped herself. Some things were better for Chi Shengxi to realize on her own.

“How do you want me to help you?”

“I… I don’t know.” Chi Shengxi’s hands clenched tightly. She truly didn’t know how to be a good mom. When she’d asked for help earlier, she meant for Chi Ruixi to help her get closer to Chi Ying, but she didn’t know how.

Chi Ruixi sighed, unsure what to say.

How could she help?

Forcing them together wouldn’t work, and with Chi Shengxi like this, even being together would be useless.

They were the closest mother and daughter, yet their relationship had come to this.

It was truly sad.

Some things needed to come from Chi Shengxi herself.

“Sister, do you know Chi Ying actually really wants your attention?”

Chi Shengxi looked at her, silent.

She didn’t know what to say.

Chi Ruixi didn’t mind her silence and continued, “Chi Ying doesn’t understand you, and you don’t understand her.” She paused, noticing Chi Shengxi’s expression worsen.

But she went on, “Chi Ying’s actually a pretty naive kid. When she was little, she’d always ask me, ‘When’s Mom coming to see me?’ As she grew older, she started asking, ‘Does Mom even love me?’”

Chi Shengxi’s eyes stung hearing that.

She did love her.

“Sister, try to understand Chi Ying. She’s simple, and she loves you too.”

“Don’t act superior every time you see her. Chi Ying’s your daughter, not your subordinate.”

“I understand.”

Chi Shengxi’s eyes grew redder. Chi Ruixi felt uneasy seeing it and looked away, saying her final piece, “Chi Ying only has you as her mom, so you need to give her more love.”

About Chi Ying’s other mother, Chi Ruixi vaguely knew some things from childhood. Her sister met Chi Ying’s other mom while studying abroad, and later had Chi Ying.

But… Chi Ying’s other mom reportedly fell in love with someone else shortly after her birth.

Chi Shengxi brought a young Chi Ying back the year she graduated.

After returning, she was busy with the company. At first, a nanny cared for little Chi Ying, but because no one paid attention, Chi Ruixi found Chi Ying being mistreated by the nanny several times. So she took Chi Ying under her wing.

Just like her sister had taken care of her when they were young.

“Ruixi, when you have kids, you’ll definitely be a great mom.” Chi Shengxi’s words were sudden, making Chi Ruixi blush.

Having kids…

Seeing her shy, Chi Shengxi didn’t continue. She changed the topic, “I’ll keep what you said in mind. I’m a bit busy lately and have a business trip soon. Can you look after Xiao Ying for now? When I’m back…”

Chi Shengxi wanted to say she’d find a chance to get closer to Chi Ying, but the words felt awkward.

So she rephrased, “When I’m back, let’s have dinner together with Chi Ying and your alpha.”

The phrase “your alpha” from Chi Shengxi’s mouth made Chi Ruixi’s heart race.

Chi Shengxi looked at her blushing sister, feeling a bit dazed.

She remembered when they were kids, her sister would blush easily, hiding behind her when teased by her friends, sweetly calling her “sister.”

As their relationship grew distant, she hadn’t seen her shy sister in ages.

Her hand on the table twitched, then she reached out, placing it on Chi Ruixi’s.

Chi Ruixi was startled by the gesture. Looking up, she saw Chi Shengxi smiling and smiled back.

When they parted, Chi Shengxi offered to drive her home, but Chi Ruixi declined. Home was close; she’d walk.

Chi Shengxi got in her car, looked at her now poised and beautiful sister, and smiled, waving her over like when they were kids.

“Be with the person you love, and don’t worry about what Mom says.”
