After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, the Female Lead Can Read My Mind (GL) - Chapter 15
When raindrops fell into the small puddle, they always rippled out in circles.
Yu Dong stared down for a long time.
Suddenly, a figure was reflected in the puddle.
The next moment, Jiang Beiwang stepped mercilessly into the puddle, not holding back her strength. The rainwater in the puddle splattered everywhere, instantly breaking the previous calm harmony.
Unlike Jian Feng, Jiang Beiwang didn’t extend half of her umbrella to Yu Dong; she rested the umbrella handle on her shoulder, covering only herself.
“I wondered why I couldn’t find you; turns out you were hiding here,” Jiang Beiwang lowered her eyes. “Had enough of being drenched?”
Yu Dong, however, just looked up at her.
Jiang Beiwang even started to feel a little unnerved by her gaze.
She didn’t actually get drenched stupid, did she?
Should I touch her forehead to see if she has a fever?
Jiang Beiwang frowned, looking down at Yu Dong with a rather condescending air. “Are you trying to make me feel sorry for you? That’s a bit too ridiculous.”
“…No,” Yu Dong said.
Jiang Beiwang’s distinctly jointed hand clasped Yu Dong’s jaw. She leaned down slightly. “Don’t pretend to be pitiful here. The Jiang family hasn’t mistreated you.”
“If you want to be drenched, you can get out of the Jiang family. No one will care if you live or die.”
She saw Yu Dong very lightly purse her lips, showing no intention of resisting.
Logically speaking.
The female lead at this point should have already shown slight resistance.
But the Yu Dong in front of her looked placid, as if she had no intention of resisting.
It was Jiang Beiwang herself who was utterly captivated by the female lead’s beautiful face.
[Her face is so small and soft, feels so good to touch.]
[Her eyes are so big, and her eyelashes are so long.]
[Roughly speaking, I touched her face.]
No, no, maintain your image.
Jiang Beiwang forced herself to look away. She released Yu Dong’s chin, as if she had touched something unclean, and even pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her hand.
Having been in the rain for a long time, Yu Dong’s fair face was cool and still damp with raindrops.
[So cold.]
[She must be freezing after all this time.]
After wiping her hand, Jiang Beiwang tossed the handkerchief aside, and it fluttered to land on Yu Dong’s lap.
“Get back inside.”
Jiang Beiwang walked away with her umbrella.
Yu Dong watched the handkerchief on her lap gradually get soaked by the raindrops. She folded the handkerchief and put it into her pocket.
“Miss brought Miss Yu back!”
“Quick, prepare ginger soup and towels.”
“And hot water.”
Yu Dong followed behind Jiang Beiwang. By the time she entered the Jiang family residence, hardly a spot on her was dry.
Although the rain wasn’t heavy, being out in it for a long time still left her thoroughly soaked.
The maid guarding the door took the umbrella from Jiang Beiwang’s hand. “Miss, ginger soup to ward off the cold has been prepared.”
Jiang Beiwang was just wondering what to use to warm Yu Dong up.
The maids were truly capable and thoughtful; they would prepare what was needed without needing explicit instructions.
It saved her a lot of worry.
Jiang Beiwang told the maid to bring a bowl, while she herself went upstairs.
Sending Jian Feng wasn’t enough; she had to go herself.
As she collapsed onto the soft bed, Jiang Beiwang decided not to see Yu Dong for a while, allowing Yu Dong to calm down properly on her own.
She was just thinking about how to help the female lead quickly turn things around when she heard a knock on the door.
It hadn’t even been five minutes since she went upstairs.
Jiang Beiwang got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it.
Excellent.
Yu Dong was here again.
Jiang Beiwang patiently said, “You dare to come again.”
She had just lectured her, and now the person was coming to find her again.
Yu Dong’s hair tips were still wet. Understandably, in such a short time, there wasn’t even enough time to dry it, let alone blow-dry it.
Let her see why Yu Dong didn’t dry her hair, drink ginger soup, or soak in hot water, but instead came to knock on her door.
“Ginger soup, still hot,” Yu Dong said.
The drenched female lead had come to deliver ginger soup to someone who hadn’t gotten a single drop of rain on her.
Jiang Beiwang almost laughed in exasperation.
“Can’t you drink it yourself? Do you want me to feed you?”
The long bench wasn’t far from the main gate to begin with, and she had held an umbrella the entire time, so not a single drop of rain had touched her.
Jiang Beiwang had no intention of drinking ginger soup, which was why she went upstairs first.
However, since Yu Dong was already here, taking the bowl downstairs would probably take a while.
Jiang Beiwang stepped aside. “Come in.”
She might as well watch the female lead drink it all before letting her go.
Pressing Yu Dong down into a chair, Jiang Beiwang sat casually beside her, gesturing with her chin. “Drink it.”
Yu Dong placed the ginger soup on the table. “It’s for you.”
Jiang Beiwang gave her a “so what?” look. “Do you want me to thank you?”
“That’s not what I meant…”
“Then stop with the nonsense,” Jiang Beiwang said. “Drink it.”
“I’ll go get another bowl downstairs.”
Yu Dong stood up, but Jiang Beiwang pressed her back down. “This bowl. You’re not leaving until you finish it.”
“But this bowl is for you… I can just go get another bowl to drink later,” Yu Dong said.
Jiang Beiwang’s tone was already getting impatient. “Such a petty bowl of soup, making such a fuss. I hate drinking this stuff. You’d better finish it before I get angry.”
“Or, do you really want me to feed you?”
She made to take the bowl, but Yu Dong took it first. “I’ll drink it.”
Jiang Beiwang then withdrew her hand.
Actually, having her feed Yu Dong wasn’t entirely out of the question.
However, considering her scumbag Alpha image, she would probably feed her in a rather uncomfortable manner.
To drink it faster, Yu Dong didn’t use a spoon; she picked up the bowl and drank it.
The warm ginger soup slid down her throat. After finishing the bowl, her body warmed up.
“Please wait for me. I’ll get another bowl,” Yu Dong said.
Jiang Beiwang had no desire to drink ginger soup and casually said, “Go get yourself sorted out first. You don’t look like you’re in the mood to drink it like this.”
[Go take a shower and blow-dry your hair quickly.]
[Does she really need supervision even for showering?]
[If she keeps lingering like this, she’ll catch a cold even if she’s not sick.]
Yu Dong might or might not have heard it.
But Jiang Beiwang guessed she probably did.
Because for a while after that, Yu Dong didn’t reappear.
Jiang Beiwang stared blankly at the ceiling, bored.
Were her words just now a little too heartless?
••••
Meanwhile, Yu Dong had just come downstairs.
A nearby maid noticed her. “Miss Yu, did Miss drink it?”
Yu Dong shook her head. “She told me to drink it.”
“Miss probably doesn’t want to drink it right now. I’ll take it to her later,” the maid said, taking the empty bowl from Yu Dong’s hand. “Miss Yu, go take a hot bath to warm yourself up first.”
Yu Dong suddenly asked her, “Do I look bad right now?”
Honestly, the maid thought Miss Yu’s appearance was incredibly beautiful, without a single flaw.
Even now, with her hair tips a bit wet and her clothes completely soaked from the rain.
Miss Yu was still beautiful.
So the maid told the truth, “Miss Yu, you look very beautiful.”
Afterward, Yu Dong quickly washed up, took a hot bath, and blow-dried her hair.
When she returned to her room, she opened the wardrobe.
The wardrobe was packed full, with even more clothes than she had at the Yu family.
However, Yu Dong had never worn them before, always just taking simple clothes from the maids.
She took out a relatively simple off-white dress from the wardrobe, adorned with many cotton lace details, looking soft and cozy.
It unexpectedly fit very well.
So Yu Dong went to get another bowl of ginger soup.
Before going upstairs, she asked the maid who was cleaning nearby.
“Do I look okay now?”
The maid nodded repeatedly. “Miss Yu, you look so beautiful in that outfit.”
Before, Yu Dong wore very plain clothes, but the maids could all tell that Yu Dong was very beautiful and had a good figure.
Now that she was wearing the clothes their young miss had specifically prepared, their young miss would surely be very happy.
As Yu Dong disappeared up the stairs, the maid joyfully ran to find the other maids.
“Guess what I just saw.”
“Tell us, tell us!”
“I saw Miss Yu finally willing to wear the clothes our young miss prepared for her!”
“I told you Miss Yu cares about our young miss too.”
“She specifically put on the clothes our young miss prepared to bring ginger soup to her. I’m touched.”
“I was there when Miss picked out the clothes; there wasn’t a single one Miss didn’t like.”
••••
Jiang Beiwang lay bored on the bed, going over the plot.
Now that a small part of the plot had just passed, she could disappear along with the Jiang family when it was a little over halfway through.
Jiang Beiwang counted the plot points.
There were still many bullying scenes to go through.
[Host, the female lead is here again.]
Jiang Beiwang sat upright.
She thought Yu Dong wouldn’t come back.
She sat on the edge of the bed and waited for a while, but no knock came.
[Did the female lead just pass by?] Jiang Beiwang asked the system.
[No, she’s at the door.]
At the door? Why isn’t she knocking?
Jiang Beiwang just wanted to send the female lead away now, send her back to sleep.
She got caught in the rain, she should be resting, why is she running around?
She just opened the door.
And then made eye contact with Yu Dong.
“I thought you were asleep,” Yu Dong said.
Jiang Beiwang looked her up and down.
Hiss.
The beautiful female lead was here, wearing pretty clothes.
Jiang Beiwang gasped.
How could this be?
[Host, upon detection, you just told the female lead to get herself sorted out, so the female lead simply tidied herself up.]
Jiang Beiwang leaned against the door. “What do you want?”
“Ginger soup,” Yu Dong said.
“I told you I don’t want to drink it.”
But Yu Dong clearly remembered hearing Jiang Beiwang’s inner thoughts say she was cold.
Just a little while ago, when Jiang Beiwang pinched her face in the rain.
“Just drink a little,” Yu Dong still insisted.
Jiang Beiwang placed her hand on Yu Dong’s shoulder, standing very casually. “You know I’m an Alpha, right?”
The original owner was not only an Alpha but also an Alpha with a very strong physique. Not to mention she hadn’t gotten wet at all; even if she had been out in the rain for an hour or two, she probably wouldn’t have been affected.
Yu Dong, on the other hand.
Her figure, which looked slender from afar, was now actually showing concern for her.
“My physique is far better than yours, or rather, do you want another bowl?” Jiang Beiwang said.
All the clothes in Yu Dong’s wardrobe were indeed chosen by Jiang Beiwang; every single one was put there because she thought it looked good.
No matter which one was taken out, it looked incredibly suitable on Yu Dong.
Jiang Beiwang found it very beautiful and couldn’t help but take a couple more glances.
[Actually, what’s wrong with just one sip?]
[Can’t let her make two trips for nothing.]
The voice reached Yu Dong, and she quickly seized the opportunity, raising the bowl. “Just one sip.”
Jiang Beiwang’s consciousness was a bit hazy.
Who could refuse a beautiful female lead?
The system was speechless.
The host was clearly mesmerized by the female lead’s beauty.
Given that such minor matters didn’t significantly affect the overall plot direction, the system couldn’t be bothered to comment.
Just as she was about to drink it, Jiang Beiwang suddenly had a burst of conviction.
As a scumbag Alpha, how could she give in so easily?
She took the ginger soup from Yu Dong’s hand and, without batting an eye, poured it all into the soil of a potted plant in the corridor.
The plant gets to drink first.
After pouring out the last drop from the bowl, Jiang Beiwang placed the empty bowl back in Yu Dong’s hand. “Finished drinking.”
Yu Dong: “…”
System: “…”
Just as Yu Dong was wondering why Jiang Beiwang wouldn’t take a sip, she heard the other person’s inner thoughts slowly emerge.
[Spicy and terrible.]
[Anyway, I’m not drinking it.]
Someone like Jiang Beiwang.
Turns out she also finds ginger soup unpalatable.
••••
Jiang Beiwang genuinely disliked the taste of ginger soup.
So she would definitely not drink it if she could help it. She would only reluctantly take a couple of sips if not drinking it would truly lead to a cold or fever.
But with her excellent physique, how could Jiang Beiwang possibly catch a cold or fever so easily?
So, no drinking.
“You can go back now,” Jiang Beiwang said, then closed the door straight away.
After closing the door, she leaned her back against the door.
That was close.
She almost got swayed by Yu Dong.
Good thing she regained her sense of responsibility as a scumbag Alpha at the last moment.
Otherwise, this persona would have shattered completely.
“System, am I very professional?” Jiang Beiwang asked.
The system’s mechanical voice coldly uttered four words.
[Highly unnecessary.]
The Host was always exceptionally responsible in certain areas where the system had decided to turn a blind eye,
and then wildly probed in areas where the system thought it was inappropriate.
••••
Although she acted very aloof in front of others.
In the early hours of the morning, Jiang Beiwang still went to Yu Dong’s room.
The room was not lit, and Jiang Beiwang could only make out the general layout by the faint moonlight filtering through the window.
