Clingy! The Sickly but Beautiful and Strong Alpha Is a Loyal Puppy Who Needs Pampering - Chapter 11

The entire military base was equipped with a climate control system that automatically adjusted to each individual’s optimal temperature based on their physical condition.

Bei Yin wasn’t worried about her catching a cold, but she did feel sorry that she hadn’t slept well. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

Ruanruan pressed Bei Yin’s hand against her cheek. “You were sleeping, and I couldn’t bear to disturb you.”

“You should have gone back to your quarters to sleep. After working all night, resting here must have been uncomfortable.”

Ruanruan replied in a pitiful tone, “I don’t have quarters.”

Bei Yin didn’t believe that for a second. Given Shen Yasi’s permissive attitude toward letting her roam freely around the military base, it was clear her identity was already known.

Anyone with even a hint of tact would have arranged everything properly.

Still, she didn’t argue. Instead, she reached out and ruffled Ruanruan’s messy hair. “I have to get to work. Come inside and sleep.”

Once inside, Ruanruan headed for the bathroom. “I’ll take a shower first. Do you have any loose clothes… Hm?”

Bei Yin grabbed the holster at her waist where she kept her energy gun and spoke quickly, “Just sleep. No need to shower.”

An Alpha’s and Omega’s sweat, saliva, and…

All carried pheromones, which could unconsciously leak out in uncontrollable concentrations.

For this reason, the combat uniforms of Alpha soldiers were designed with cooling and sweat-absorbing functions to effectively block the release of pheromones in sweat, preventing any adverse effects on their comrades.

But sweat inevitably lingered on the body to some degree.

When showering, the steam would disperse and amplify the dormant pheromones, multiplying their intensity and filling the entire room.

That level of concentration would make it impossible for her to stay calm, even if she were buried in suppressants.

It took Ruanruan a moment to realize the implications.

She didn’t bother making excuses—like how she’d never had an Omega before and thus wasn’t very familiar with these details, leading to her carelessness.

She simply said, “I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful in the future.”

Bei Yin coughed lightly. “It’s fine. You were single before, after all.”

A low chuckle escaped the Alpha’s throat.

She stepped closer, bending down slightly to meet Bei Yin’s gaze at eye level.

“Then, can you give me a chance to prove I’m not single anymore?”

“Even regular store employees get a probation period.”

Bei Yin wasn’t the coy type. She couldn’t deny that she’d been drawn to her from the very first meeting.

The only reason she said this was because she wanted to see the Alpha pout and whine.

Her hand was pulled up, and Ruanruan kissed the back of it pitifully. “How long does Big Sister want Ruanruan’s probation to be?”

“Three days.” Bei Yin pinched her strikingly beautiful but slightly gaunt cheeks. “If you perform well, I’ll promote you on the spot.”

A faint glimmer of possessive instinct flickered in those dark, ink-like eyes.

“After three days, Big Sister will belong to Ruanruan alone?”

“Right.”

“No other Alpha will try to take you from me?”

“Mm-hmm, that’s right.” Bei Yin seized the moment to reinforce the idea. “I won’t like anyone else either—only our most perfect, most beautiful Ruanruan.”

Though promises and praise might not mean much in the short term, if she kept drilling it into her day after day, year after year…

She refused to believe that Ruanruan would still cling to that ridiculous, self-deprecating thought—”Big Sister is the moon in the sky, and I’m just a cockroach on the ground.”

“Big Sister won’t leave me either, right? You’ll never abandon me, no matter what?”

Bei Yin repeated her answer over and over. “I won’t leave you, and I won’t abandon you. How could I ever let go of such a gorgeous Alpha?”

As soon as the words were spoken, the little leopard in front of her bared her teeth in a grin, an invisible tail seemingly wagging joyfully behind her.

“Snuggle~”

“Mhm, alright, snuggle.” Bei Yin paused, then tentatively asked, “You’ve only been with me for a few days—what if you get tired of me soon and go find another Omega?”

Ruanruan’s obsessive and yandere tendencies couldn’t have formed in just two days. It felt like she had known her long before.

The Alpha immediately grew anxious: “No, I won’t like any other Omega. I only like you, and I’ll like you forever!”

“Oh? A few days in and it’s already ‘forever’?”

The Alpha lowered her head and stayed silent, only gripping her hand tightly.

Bei Yin didn’t press further and went into the bathroom to freshen up.

For now, she wanted to gently guide her into revealing the things she was hiding, as part of the therapy to ease her hypersensitivity.

If she really couldn’t get it out of her, she’d find another opportunity to coax and trick her into drinking a few vials of truth serum.

Ruanruan anxiously hovered by the door: “I really don’t like anyone else, don’t be mad.”

Bei Yin rinsed her mouth and beckoned her over: “Come here, I’ll tell you a little secret.”

Ruanruan obediently leaned in: “What?”

“I was just teasing you earlier—making you panic so you’d sweet-talk me.”

Bei Yin watched as the unease in those dark eyes gradually faded, replaced by an exaggerated pout.

“Mean sister.”

She chuckled, picking up a towel to wipe her face. “Yep, super mean. Still like me?”

“Like you forever.” Ruanruan lifted her hand and kissed her fingertips. “If I stay cute and sweet, will you like me forever too?”

Bei Yin instantly regretted saying those words from the heart.

But life didn’t have a rewind button—she’d just have to seize every chance to gaslight her.

“I like Ruanruan’s softness, but personalities aren’t set in stone. Whether you’re angry or upset, I’ll still like you.”

The Alpha muttered under her breath: “I won’t change.”

“Then let time prove it.” Bei Yin handed her a new toothbrush and cup. “I’ll make breakfast. What do you want?”

The Alpha stared at her with burning intensity.

“…Just eggs and toast, then.”

While eating, Bei Yin asked, “No wounds on your hands—are you hurt somewhere else?”

“Those trash… those aliens ran as soon as I hit them. I wasn’t hurt at all. I just wanted you to fuss over me.”

“Little troublemaker. As punishment, you have to give me some pheromones.”

“Hehe~ That’s not a punishment. You just wanted to smell me.”

With that, she obediently released a one-percent concentration.

Bei Yin coughed lightly—she’d never encountered such an intoxicating scent before, and she couldn’t get enough of it.

After breakfast, Bei Yin went to change, while Xiao Ai bounced over to clear the plates.

Ruan Fei shot it a look: “Get lost. I don’t need you.”

Xiao Ai trembled and scurried off to recharge itself.

Before leaving for work, Bei Yin stopped by the bedroom where the other was lounging on the bed. “I’m heading out now.”

Ruanruan tugged at her hem: “You punished me earlier, so now I get to punish you too.”

“How?”

A slender finger pointed at her forehead. “A kiss as punishment.”

Bei Yin saw right through it—she just wanted pheromones.

A kiss on the lips would only release a 0.0001% concentration, nowhere near enough to drive her wild with a single whiff.

Bei Yin tucked her slightly curled hair behind her ear and bent down to place a gentle kiss on the smooth forehead.

Instantly, the scent of Omega pheromones lingered at the tip of her nose.

It was as if a small blue rose had bloomed on the forehead, emitting an elegant and intoxicating sweetness that was utterly mesmerizing.

The floral fragrance was extremely faint, yet potent enough to stir a look of desire in the Alpha’s eyes.

She wrapped both arms around the pillow, burying her face into its soft surface.

Inhaling the faint fragrance lingering from Bei Yin’s hair, she exhaled a suppressed breath of heat.

Even 0.01 percent was an overestimation.
