After Going on a Blind Date With My Omega Love Rival (ABO, GL) - Chapter 69

Chapter 69

At two in the afternoon, everyone gathered downstairs, except… Chi Ruixi and Yu Heyi.

Oh, and Du Sheng too.

But he’s the vice-principal, so he can go wherever he wants and do whatever he pleases.

Teacher Zhao stood under the blazing sun, looking a bit anxious. The afternoon itinerary had been set long ago, with departure at exactly two o’clock, but now… two people were still missing.

“Teacher Cheng, when I asked you to knock on their door earlier, didn’t Teacher Chi say she was awake?”

“Yes… she was awake and said she’d come downstairs soon.”

Teacher Cheng wasn’t sure what was going on either. She had gone to call Teacher Chi half an hour ago.

After waiting about five more minutes, Chi Ruixi and Yu Heyi finally appeared before the group. Both had changed their clothes, no longer wearing the matching button-up shirts from the morning.

Instead… they were in cartoon couple’s outfits.

Chi Ruixi wore a hazy blue T-shirt with a small dinosaur grabbing a little tail at the bottom right corner. The tail clearly belonged to Yu Heyi, who was wearing an ink-blue T-shirt with a slightly larger dinosaur at the bottom left, its tail cut in half, the other half obviously held by the small dinosaur on Chi Ruixi’s shirt.

When Teacher Zhao and Teacher Cheng saw them, their reactions were completely different.

Teacher Zhao’s mouth twitched, and the corner of her eye twitched slightly too…

Teacher Cheng, on the other hand, had a fangirl expression, her face beaming with an auntie-like smile.

The other teachers and students also showed teasing expressions. Yu Heyi noticed Chi Ying leading the fangirling in the crowd, and her heart felt warmed.

While Yu Heyi was distracted, Chi Ruixi shook off the hand Yu Heyi was holding and tried to slip into the crowd. But it was as if Yu Heyi had a sensor installed on her.

After just two steps, Yu Heyi grabbed the hem of Chi Ruixi’s shirt—right at the little dinosaur’s spot.

Chi Ruixi’s embarrassment exploded. She hadn’t wanted to wear this outfit to begin with, and now everyone was staring, mostly students. She wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

But even if she wanted to hide, would Yu Heyi let her?

Obviously not. This couple’s outfit was something Yu Heyi had coerced and bribed her into wearing.

Yu Heyi leaned down and whispered in Chi Ruixi’s ear, “My little dinosaur, where are you trying to escape to? Haven’t had enough oolong tea?”

Hearing this, Chi Ruixi froze, not daring to move, her eyes filled with obvious resentment.

But Yu Heyi pretended not to notice.

She pulled Chi Ruixi confidently into the crowd, and they boarded the bus to head to the outing’s destination.

As they passed Chi Ying, she grabbed Yu Heyi and whispered, “Auntie’s husband, what did you do to my auntie?”

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Chi Ruixi, but Chi Ruixi didn’t dare look at her, keeping her head down.

Yu Heyi didn’t mind and even bragged a bit, “Your auntie is such a shy person. She was so embarrassed to wear matching couple’s outfits with me.”

After she said this, Chi Ying noticed her expression twist slightly.

Looking down, she saw her aunt’s hand pinching Yu Heyi’s waist, seemingly… with a lot of force.

…Better to retreat for now. Chi Ying grabbed Zhan Yuan’s hand and moved away from them.

After she left, Yu Heyi nudged Chi Ruixi’s shoulder with her own, whining playfully, “Wife, you pinched so hard just now. It hurts.”

Headache. That’s what Chi Ruixi was feeling now.

With a cold face, Chi Ruixi ignored her.

This was just too much. After a nap, it was like something had possessed Yu Heyi…

Flashback to half an hour ago.

Yu Heyi had whispered in her ear, “I think I know Chi-jiejie’s secret.”

When Yu Heyi said this, Chi Ruixi panicked. She had completely forgotten about the secret thing before, but now that Yu Heyi brought it up, all she felt was panic.

She pulled away from Yu Heyi’s embrace, her voice trembling as she said, “I’ll go change first…” and hurriedly walked toward the bathroom, trying to get some distance from Yu Heyi.

But would Yu Heyi let her? She pulled Chi Ruixi back, and the intense, overpowering scent of oolong tea pheromones hit her again. Yu Heyi pinned her against the wall, and Chi Ruixi’s legs felt weak.

“What… are you doing?”

The moment the pheromones hit, it wasn’t just her legs that went weak—her heart was a complete mess too.

She wanted to hide from Yu Heyi, yet also wanted to get closer.

“When I mentioned the secret, Chi-jiejie seemed really shy?”

Chi Ruixi bit her lip, staying silent.

But Yu Heyi kept going.

“Didn’t Chi-jiejie say before that she’d tell me? I think I’ve figured it out myself now.”

Yu Heyi didn’t seem in a rush to reveal the secret, waiting for Chi Ruixi to respond. But after a long pause, Chi Ruixi still didn’t say a word.

She asked again, “Chi-jiejie, is your heat cycle coming soon? It seems to come pretty regularly… so that time at the blind date, was it on purpose?”

Trapped in Yu Heyi’s arms, Chi Ruixi’s mind could barely function. The scent of oolong tea was crashing through her senses.

It was even messing with her brain.

She didn’t know what to say—that was Chi Ruixi’s true state right now.

Yu Heyi suddenly grabbed her chin, looking down at her eyes, nose, and mouth with intense focus.

So focused that Chi Ruixi’s heart skipped a beat. She had a feeling Yu Heyi was about to reveal the secret.

“Chi-jiejie… actually, you’ve long…”

“Don’t say it!”

She didn’t want Yu Heyi to say it, only because of the shame—the shame of a secret she’d kept for years being revealed by the very person it involved. That was a whole different matter.

If she didn’t say it, Chi Ruixi could pretend Yu Heyi didn’t know.

But… she overlooked one thing. Her reaction only confirmed Yu Heyi’s guess.

Yes, a guess.

Because Yu Heyi wasn’t entirely sure that Chi Ruixi had liked her for a long time and kept it hidden for years.

From their teenage years to now, her heart had been full of the person in front of her.

“Don’t say it…” Chi Ruixi’s voice was anxious, tinged with a sob. She only wanted Yu Heyi to know she liked her, not about the heat cycle.

She had endured the pain of her heat cycle without taking suppressants in advance.

Seeing the person in front of her on the verge of tears, Yu Heyi softened. She didn’t actually want to push Chi Ruixi to this point; she just wanted confirmation.

If this had been two months ago, knowing the reason might have made her furious. But now… she was certain of her own feelings. How could she blame her?

It was thanks to Chi Ruixi’s little scheme that they even had a chance to be together.

Now, she just wanted to ask Chi Ruixi when she started liking her.

She didn’t expect…

“Alright, if Chi-jiejie doesn’t want me to ask, I won’t.”

After she said this, Chi Ruixi’s tears fell instantly. She wiped them away messily, feeling embarrassed. She didn’t mean to cry; she just couldn’t hold it back.

“But if I don’t ask, there’s a condition.”

Yu Heyi blinked slyly. Before Chi Ruixi could react, she stepped away, pulled two pieces of clothing from her backpack, and placed them on the bed.

“These are the couple’s outfits I bought. The hazy blue one is yours.”

Tears still clinging to the corners of Chi Ruixi’s eyes, she looked at her in shock.

“Don’t want to wear it?” Yu Heyi wasn’t in a rush. She sat on the bed, tore open the packaging, and held up Chi Ruixi’s piece, sizing it against her from a distance. “It should fit perfectly.”

This couple’s outfit was something Yu Heyi had picked out a week ago and secretly bought, thinking there might be a chance to wear it.

And now, the chance had come.

“There are students outside… wearing this…”

“Afraid of being teased?” Yu Heyi finished her sentence. Even if Chi Ruixi hadn’t said it, she knew her concerns, so she hadn’t held much hope before.

But now, things were different.

She stood up with the clothes and walked to Chi Ruixi’s side.

“Chi-jiejie, you need to behave. I already said this is the condition.”

Yu Heyi stared at her, not giving an inch.

Chi Ruixi gritted her teeth, took the clothes, and turned to head to the bathroom to change, but Yu Heyi grabbed her again, tightly holding her wrist.

“Change here.”

At those words, Chi Ruixi’s face felt like it was on fire. She whispered, “No way… I…”

“That’s part of the condition too~~”

Yu Heyi grinned wickedly, even a bit excited.

“You… you’re bullying me…” Chi Ruixi’s voice carried a sob again, her eyes misting over.

Did Yu Heyi feel bad? Yes.

But her excitement was even greater. Maybe every Alpha has a naughty streak—bullying their Omega, making them cry and show their vulnerable, easily teased side.

Still, Yu Heyi couldn’t bear to go too far.

“Fine, I’ll change first.”

With that, she took off her pajamas and put on her outfit.

The whole process was smooth and confident, changing openly in front of Chi Ruixi.

And Yu Heyi noticed… Chi Ruixi was sneaking glances at her.

She didn’t call her out, though. After changing, she said, “You’d better hurry up and change. Everyone’s waiting for us outside.”

Chi Ruixi held the clothes, hesitating for a moment before slowly taking off her pajamas.

Her movements were painfully slow, a stark contrast to Yu Heyi’s.

But this way, Yu Heyi wasn’t in a rush anymore. She watched quietly.

She watched as Chi Ruixi took off her pajamas, revealing light purple underwear, before putting on the new clothes.

Teasing her with ill intent, Yu Heyi said, “Changing so slowly… trying to give me an eyeful?”

“You…” When Chi Ruixi looked at her after changing, the tears in her eyes were gone, replaced by anger.

Yu Heyi knew when to stop.

“Let’s head downstairs. They’re all waiting for us.”

But she had bullied Chi Ruixi too much. On the bus, Chi Ruixi didn’t sit with her, keeping an aisle between them.

When they boarded, Yu Heyi thought they’d sit like they did in the morning, with her on the outside and Chi Ruixi inside. But Chi Ruixi sat on the outside and wouldn’t let her in.

Left with no choice, Yu Heyi sat on the other side.

“Are you mad?”

Chi Ruixi closed her eyes, ignoring her.

Yu Heyi tried saying a few more things, but Chi Ruixi still ignored her.

Since she wouldn’t respond, Yu Heyi tried another approach, sending her a pleading emoji. Chi Ruixi glanced at it, then locked her phone, still not replying.

Chi Ruixi was truly pissed off by Yu Heyi. Biting her lip, she stared out the window, refusing to acknowledge her.
