After Going on a Blind Date With My Omega Love Rival (ABO, GL) - Chapter 85

Chapter 85

Last night, Old Madam Chi detained Chi Ruixi at the Chi family’s house. The room in that house, which belonged to Chi Ruixi, was the one she lived in before leaving the Chi family. Someone locked the door tightly and took away her phone, completely preventing her from contacting the outside world.

Chi Ruixi glanced at the things in the room. Someone had clearly prepared them in advance, just waiting for her to fall into the trap.

Her biological mother setting her up like this truly made her uncomfortable.

Chi Ruixi didn’t sleep at all that night. The entire villa was extremely quiet. Only the house where Chi Ruixi stayed had its light on. Chi Ruixi sat on the bed, hugging her legs, for the whole night.

Her mind repeatedly flashed back to her mother’s neglect, scolding, and contempt toward her from childhood to adulthood.

She felt a bit regretful. Why didn’t she let Yu Heyi come in with her? If she had, maybe she wouldn’t be locked in the room.

But then she thought, no, that wouldn’t do. What if both she and Yu Heyi got locked up after coming in?

So, it was good that Yu Heyi didn’t come in.

But she missed Yu Heyi so much.

Originally, they could have eaten durian together and watched TV that night. She could have nestled in Yu Heyi’s arms, playfully teasing her, and then fallen asleep in Yu Heyi’s embrace. But now…

Let alone falling asleep, she couldn’t even contact Yu Heyi.

“Second Miss, eat your meal.”

Chi Ruixi looked up at the auntie, then lowered her head again. She didn’t want to eat and had no appetite.

“Second Miss, about yesterday… I had no choice.”

Chi Ruixi moved her fingers slightly. This time, she didn’t even lift her head and said, “I know, Auntie Jiang.”

What could an auntie do? Chi Ruixi didn’t blame her. The person in charge was her mother.

Chi Ruixi slipped into the blankets, no longer looking at Auntie Jiang.

After a while, Auntie Jiang sighed and left. Just before the door closed, Chi Ruixi suddenly called out.

“Auntie Jiang, has anyone called me?”

“Yes… but Madam wouldn’t let me answer.”

Chi Ruixi closed her eyes, pulled the blanket tighter, and said, “Okay, I know.”

“Second Miss, remember to eat. I’m leaving now.”

Chi Ruixi didn’t respond again.

After a while, Chi Ruixi suddenly got out of bed and walked to the window.

She smiled first, then rubbed her eyes, and then smiled even more happily.

She saw Yu Heyi.

Yu Heyi was about to leave. Since Chi Ruixi had no time, she couldn’t see her by staying.

But as she sat on her motorcycle, she suddenly felt like someone was watching her. She looked up and glanced around but found no one.

Maybe it was an illusion? If Chi Ruixi had time to look at her, she would have replied to her WeChat already.

Taking care of her mother must be exhausting, so she’d better not cause trouble.

Like that, Chi Ruixi watched from the window as Yu Heyi looked up at Old Madam Chi’s villa, then glanced around, but never looked in her direction.

Of course, Yu Heyi had watched her enter that villa yesterday. How could she think of looking here?

How could she imagine that Chi Ruixi’s own mother would confine her?

Yu Heyi left. Chi Ruixi returned to the bed, hugged the blanket, and started laughing. At first, she laughed because Yu Heyi came to find her, then she laughed at her mother.

That self-righteous alpha.

Did she think locking her up would lock her heart?

Talking about blind dates—even if she went on one, if the other person liked her, would she obediently comply?

But she laughed at how ruthless her mother was, wanting her to wash off her mark.

What did washing it off mean?

It meant her gland would likely be damaged. In the best case, her pheromones would become unstable. In the worst case, she wouldn’t even be considered an Omega anymore, and her health would deteriorate greatly.

Truly ruthless.

Chi Ruixi’s gaze swept over the room, then locked onto the computer.

There was a computer in the room, one Chi Ruixi bought in middle school. She used it a few times in high school to contact Yu Heyi.

Thinking of this, Chi Ruixi rolled out of bed, opened the computer, and logged into QQ, which she hadn’t used in a long time. Then she found Yu Heyi’s QQ.

In fact, she had Yu Heyi’s QQ more than ten years ago, but back then, she didn’t dare approach her, afraid Yu Heyi wouldn’t like her or that she’d disturb her.

Yu Heyi’s profile picture hadn’t changed in all these years. It was a sunny smiley face. Back then, there was no option to upload pictures, so they were all basic profile pictures.

Because she liked Yu Heyi, Chi Ruixi’s profile picture was actually the same as Yu Heyi’s.

During her three years of high school, Chi Ruixi stared at this QQ many times, watching Yu Heyi’s profile picture light up and then go gray.

Later, when WeChat came along, fewer people used QQ. At first, Chi Ruixi still checked QQ, hoping Yu Heyi’s profile picture would light up.

She even refused to use WeChat for this reason. If she stopped using QQ, she’d lose her only connection to Yu Heyi.

But after two years, Yu Heyi’s profile picture never lit up again, always staying gray. Chi Ruixi had to give up.

Over all those years, she never said a single word to Yu Heyi on QQ. She never imagined her first message would be asking Yu Heyi for help.

“I am Chi Ruixi. If you see this, come to the Chi family to save me.”

After sending it, Chi Ruixi turned off the computer, ate her meal, and went to bed.

That night, she logged into QQ again. Yu Heyi hadn’t replied.

She only held a sliver of hope. How many people still used QQ these days?

Very few.

But few as they were, some still used it.

For example, Jiang Qi used QQ to play games.

After Yu Heyi returned home, she looked at the empty room and felt extremely bored. Although she hadn’t been with Chi Ruixi for long, she wasn’t used to her absence.

That day, Yu Heyi went to bed early.

The next morning, Jiang Qi’s call woke her up.

Jiang Qi was abroad, where it was still midnight, but staying up all night was normal for her.

“I sent you a WeChat yesterday. Why didn’t you reply?”

“What?” Yu Heyi completely forgot about it. Jiang Qi’s words confused her. She checked WeChat and saw Jiang Qi’s message, along with one from her mommy, probably sent after she didn’t reply.

“You don’t even care about Mommy… sob sob.”

Yu Heyi casually replied, telling Du Ruo she was busy yesterday and didn’t ignore her.

Du Ruo, probably free, called her right away.

“Heyi, Mommy feels so bad~~” Du Ruo’s voice sounded pitiful, with her unique girlish tone, acting coy.

Yu Heyi was used to her mommy’s way of talking. She didn’t react and calmly asked, “What’s wrong, Mommy? Didn’t you say you had good news yesterday?”

“It’s gone…”

“Uh…” It was a bit sudden.

Then Du Ruo explained the reason. She had sent Yu Heyi a WeChat yesterday to tell her that she and Old Yu might return early. She was almost two months pregnant, and as her belly grew, traveling would be inconvenient, so she wanted to go back soon.

But last night, for some reason—maybe something she ate—she started having severe morning sickness.

So Old Yu decided they’d return once she was stable.

“Heyi, He’er is too much.”

Yu Heyi rubbed her forehead, a bit helpless. He’er… was it really decided so casually?

Du Ruo continued, “When Mommy was pregnant with you, you were so good~”

Not wanting to discourage Du Ruo, Yu Heyi still told the truth: “Maybe I take after Old Yu, quiet, while He’er takes after you, lively.”

After Yu Heyi spoke, the other end went silent for a moment, then hung up.

…Looking at the disconnected call, Yu Heyi smiled helplessly.

Then Yu Heyi called Jiang Qi. While talking to Du Ruo, Jiang Qi had called several times and sent multiple WeChat messages, asking what she was doing.

“What’s up?”

As soon as she spoke, Jiang Qi’s furious voice came through: “You’re asking me what’s up? I sent you a WeChat yesterday, and you didn’t reply. Today, I couldn’t get through on the phone.”

“I just replied to you.”

Remembering Jiang Qi mentioned going on a blind date yesterday, Yu Heyi asked, “You said you’re going on a blind date. When is it?” As she spoke, Yu Heyi rolled to Chi Ruixi’s side of the bed, hugged her pillow, and missed her a bit.

Jiang Qi’s voice gradually faded in her mind until Jiang Qi noticed she’d been talking for a while without any response from Yu Heyi. Then a roar came through: “Yu Heyi, what are you doing?”

She snapped back, pretending nothing happened, and said, “You talk, I’m listening.”

“You say, how about I wear really ugly clothes this afternoon?”

“Hm??? This afternoon?”

“Yeah!”

Yu Heyi suddenly woke up. She hadn’t actually heard what Jiang Qi was saying earlier.

“So, you weren’t listening to me at all???”

Having been friends for so many years, Yu Heyi knew how to handle her.

“Okay, it’s not important. What matters is your blind date. Are you doing it there?”

Jiang Qi’s voice sounded muffled: “No, I’m already back in the country…”

“I really don’t want to go on this blind date, but if I don’t, I’ll have to take over the family business. So I’ve decided, I’ll say I don’t like them, or make them say they don’t like me. Ugh, I’m playing a game.”

Yu Heyi was listening attentively until the sudden mention of gaming…

“You’re playing a game? Then why are you chatting with me?”

“I’m super annoyed. Playing games alone is even more annoying, so I want to play with you. Hurry, get on QQ.”

“QQ?”

So worrying about the blind date wasn’t as important as gaming, was it?

Jiang Qi said something to the game side, then turned back to Yu Heyi: “Yeah, you didn’t know? The QQ zone is way more fun than the WeChat zone. Hurry up.”

Since she was free anyway, Yu Heyi logged into QQ, which she hadn’t used in ages. It required verification, and she instantly didn’t want to bother.

“So troublesome. I haven’t logged in forever. I’m not playing.”

“No way, play with me for a bit. You’re free anyway, and Chi Ruixi… doesn’t need you right now, right?” Halfway through, Jiang Qi remembered her friend wasn’t single anymore.

“Her mom’s not feeling well, so she went home.”

Yu Heyi spoke while reluctantly logging into QQ again. She went through phone number verification, struggling for a while before getting in.

As soon as she logged in, a message popped up. Yu Heyi couldn’t believe her eyes. She rubbed them and stared at the message.

“I am Chi Ruixi. If you see this, come to the Chi family to save me.”

This was… a message from Chi Ruixi?
