After Going on a Blind Date With My Omega Love Rival (ABO, GL) - Chapter 68

Chapter 68

The mountains were indeed cooler than the city. Yu Heyi lay on the soft bed, a beautiful woman sleeping beside her, a cool breeze blowing… it was pure torture.

She couldn’t sleep, her mind fixated on Chi Ruixi’s long legs, sneaking glances several times.

It wasn’t just the legs she wanted to see… if she could look a bit higher, even better. But who’d have thought Chi Ruixi’s pajamas covered her so thoroughly, showing only her legs?

Chi Ruixi slept with her back to Yu Heyi, who stared shamelessly from head to toe, blushing at her own boldness…

Embarrassing. She was acting way too desperate…

Yu Heyi consoled herself that this was just alpha instincts. With a gorgeous omega beside her, who could stay unaffected?

She wasn’t some saint.

Besides, Chi Ruixi was her omega. What was wrong with openly staring at her own omega?

After this self-justification, she looked even more eagerly. Lying on her side, she’d tucked the blanket between them, but now, brainwashed by her own logic, she shakily reached out, inching toward Chi Ruixi.

Just as she was about to touch her, Chi Ruixi—whether sensing something or waking—rolled over, facing her.

Yu Heyi, startled, yanked her hand back, pulling the blanket over her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Confirming Chi Ruixi was still asleep, she grew bolder, staring at her sleeping face.

The heat made Chi Ruixi sweat lightly, her hair sticking to her cheeks, lips slightly parted. Further down, her curves rose and fell, undeniable even in a T-shirt and shorts.

Gulp… Yu Heyi swallowed hard, pathetically…

Her heart raced, like an inexperienced alpha.

Truth be told…

She’d never observed Chi Ruixi this closely.

They’d been intimate plenty, but never with time to linger in bed. The first two times were during Chi Ruixi’s heat, Yu Heyi too frantic to appreciate her. Later… those times were even more rushed. Savoring Chi Ruixi’s peach scent was all she managed—no time for anything else.

Now that she thought about it, she’d get to savor it again soon—Chi Ruixi’s heat was approaching.

Her next heat would mark their one-month wedding anniversary. In this month—no, these two months—Yu Heyi’s heart had changed dramatically.

Two months ago, a blind date. One month ago, marriage. One month later, Yu Heyi was certain of her feelings.

She loved Chi Ruixi, loved her enough to want a child with her.

So, this heat had to be timed right. Unlike the last two, this one would only last three days.

Before permanent marking, an omega’s heat lasted about seven days. With preemptive suppressants, it could pass smoothly. Without, it was like Chi Ruixi’s last time, requiring heat-specific suppressants—effective but less stable.

After permanent marking, heats lasted three days, with a shorter fertility window.

Yu Heyi was honest while thinking this, just quietly watching Chi Ruixi. Until Chi Ruixi brushed hair from her cheek, her lips moved twice, then pursed.

Yu Heyi’s gaze locked onto those pursed lips. She licked her own, inching closer. If three days were short, should she try something outside of heat?

She kissed Chi Ruixi’s cheek, too scared to aim for her lips, afraid of waking her.

But one kiss led to another. When Chi Ruixi didn’t react after a second cheek kiss, Yu Heyi’s courage grew, targeting her pursed lips.

The moment she kissed them, it felt like jelly. She smacked her lips, then licked.

Seeing no reaction, Yu Heyi chuckled inwardly, resting a hand on Chi Ruixi’s shoulder, deepening the… nibble.

Yes, nibble.

Chi Ruixi’s lips were too soft, too springy. Yu Heyi’s appetite surged, biting and nibbling.

She scooted closer, nearly pressed against Chi Ruixi, continuing her mission.

She even got bold, venturing into deeper territory.

A one-sided dance was unsatisfying. Yu Heyi sighed, wishing Chi Ruixi would respond.

Looking up, her eyes full of longing, she saw Chi Ruixi frown but not wake.

Yu Heyi felt oddly aggrieved. If she were awake, they could…

But if Chi Ruixi woke, would she think Yu Heyi was no different from a creep?

Kissing and nibbling while she slept.

Lost in thought, Chi Ruixi suddenly moved… Yu Heyi looked up, thrilled, thinking she’d woken, but Chi Ruixi… seemed fast asleep.

No matter—awake or not, this counted as Chi Ruixi kissing her first.

They kissed for minutes before Yu Heyi, satisfied, rolled onto her back and fell asleep.

As her breathing steadied, Chi Ruixi’s eyes snapped open, clear as day, not a hint of sleep.

She’d woken the moment Yu Heyi kissed her lips, letting her continue.

But as Yu Heyi kept going, she felt…

Anyway, the kiss deepened.

Though Yu Heyi was asleep, Chi Ruixi felt a strange shame… her ears reddened. She was a walking contradiction—initiating and shy.

She couldn’t control these feelings.

She loved the light in Yu Heyi’s eyes when she looked at her, but when it burned too bright, she felt embarrassed.

Both lay flat now, Chi Ruixi on the left. She reached out with her right hand, inching toward Yu Heyi, hooking her pinky.

Yu Heyi, maybe uncomfortable, twitched her hand. Chi Ruixi froze, waiting. When Yu Heyi didn’t react further, she relaxed, tightly clasping her pinky.

Maybe the early start and long drive were too much—soon, Chi Ruixi fell back asleep.

Before sleeping, Chi Ruixi set an alarm, but before it rang, a knock came at the door.

It was Teacher Cheng.

“Teacher Chi, Xiao Yu.”

“Everyone’s gathering outside. Afternoon’s a boat tour.”

Teacher Cheng’s voice woke Yu Heyi first, but… she didn’t get up. Instead, she mumbled by Chi Ruixi’s ear, whining, “I don’t wanna get up. I wanna sleep.”

Chi Ruixi, undisturbed by the knock, was woken by her whispers.

Opening her eyes, she saw Yu Heyi’s face up close.

Teacher Cheng’s voice continued.

Chi Ruixi dealt with her first. “Got it, Teacher Cheng, we’ll be down soon.”

Then she pushed Yu Heyi. “Heyi, get up.”

“Ugh… I wanna sleep, so tired.”

She shook her head, refusing to budge.

Chi Ruixi watched her cling to her hand and arm, stubbornly staying put, feeling helpless. She’d never imagined Yu Heyi could be such a bed-linger…

Every morning, Yu Heyi made her breakfast. Who’d guess she’d cling to bed like this?

Thinking of her making breakfast despite loving to sleep in, Chi Ruixi’s heart softened, her tone turning tender. “Come on, we’re going out to have fun. Get up, okay?” She ruffled Yu Heyi’s hair.

Soft, smooth—Yu Heyi’s hair was better than hers, probably never dyed or permed, feeling nice.

After a bit, Yu Heyi woke fully, eyes meeting Chi Ruixi’s. Without thinking, she kissed her cheek, smacking her lips. “So soft…”

Chi Ruixi’s face heated, a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.

She shook off Yu Heyi’s hand and sat up. Freshly awake, Yu Heyi’s voice was soft, yet she still took advantage. Typical alpha—shameless.

Chi Ruixi tidied up, holding clothes, and said to Yu Heyi, “Get up, everyone’s gathering downstairs.”

Now mostly awake, Yu Heyi had fixed her tendency to say one thing and mean another.

Her words matched her actions.

“Where are you changing with those clothes? Just do it here.”

“What… are you talking about?”

Chi Ruixi’s eyes widened, incredulous.

Yu Heyi shrugged innocently. “It’s not like I haven’t seen it.”

Chi Ruixi stared, shocked. How could a nap change her so much?

What she didn’t know was, before sleeping, Yu Heyi had figured something out. For newly differentiated alphas or omegas, there’s an unstable period where heats and ruts are unpredictable, sometimes unknown.

But as they age and glands mature, cycles become precise, rarely off by more than three days. Without preemptive suppressants, reactions are stronger, so most alphas and omegas use them.

Her induced rut didn’t count, nor did pheromone disorders.

Those couldn’t predict cycle dates.

But Chi Ruixi clearly could—Yu Heyi noticed her cycles were regular these two months.

So… Chi Ruixi’s sudden heat during their blind date was abnormal.

And… she wasn’t fully asleep earlier. When Chi Ruixi held her hand, she knew.

“Why’d you hold my hand just now?”

Chi Ruixi, clothes in hand, stood by the bed. Her expression faltered at the question, lips moving, but no words came.

Yu Heyi pressed closer, standing from the bed, watching her.

“I think… I know Sister Chi’s secret.”
