Episode 18: Feeling Guilty in Front of Liang Yinyin, Why Was Your Neck So Red?

Qiao Jinyan changed into her school uniform, touched the spot on her face where she was “hit,” and glanced dazedly at Liang Yinyin downstairs. She was radiating the charm of a married woman.

Before going downstairs, Qiao Jinyan checked the time on her wristwatch.

It was time for school. But she was already a bit late.

“Why didn’t you come down yet? Don’t you want breakfast?”

Liang Yinyin’s voice suddenly rang in her ears. And Qiao Jinyan felt guilty from just doing something bad. She sensed her heart pound with fear.

Moments ago, the omega radiated gentle wife-like charm. But she now stared straight at her.

It was as if she knew Qiao Jinyan had done something wrong.

Qiao Jinyan didn’t dare keep sneaking glances. She touched her uniform collar, and walked downstairs.

She needed to stay calm.

As her mother once taught her, as long as she didn’t show her emotions, no one would know what she thought or what bad things she did.

“I was just thinking, if you didn’t come down soon, I’d go upstairs to wake you.”

The beauty’s eyes carried a hint of complaint.

“Come sit here, dawdling again?”

Liang Yinyin patted the seat next to her. She urged the slow alpha to hurry.

After all, Qiao Jinyan never took care of herself.

She always avoided eating.

“No… it’s nothing, I just overslept, thank you, Sister…”

Qiao Jinyan sat next to Liang Yinyin. She was keeping “calm.”

But her heart grew restless and distracted.

When she finished showering, Qiao Xian’an was no longer in her room.

The bad news was, she seemed to have upset Qiao Xian’an.

The only good news was, Liang Yinyin didn’t notice the awful thing she did earlier.

And Qiao Xian’an didn’t appear at the dining table.

“What… what’s wrong? Why does Sister keep looking at me…”

Were the marks on her face not cleaned off?

The alpha had acted like a beast toward her own sister. Facing the gentle omega’s sudden concerned gaze, she was clearly avoiding eye contact with her “guardian sister.”

“It’s nothing… I just wanted to look at you, eat quickly.”

Liang Yinyin gently patted the alpha’s head.

Since sitting down, Qiao Jinyan was somewhat absent-minded.

She didn’t even look closely at the food on the table and just kept drinking water mechanically.

“What’s with you today, still half-asleep?

I remember… there’s an exam next week, right?

Should Sister call the school to get you a day off? Don’t like school again?”

Second Treasure wasn’t eating properly again.

But her body was always healthy. And now it was the age for growing.

They couldn’t let their guard down.

Liang Yinyin served Qiao Jinyan a bowl of bird’s nest porridge. She also placed a specially made crab roe noodle bun in front of her.

The gentle, refined woman, as usual, paused her own meal to care for her sister.

“Maybe I’m a bit groggy. But I’m fine. 

No need for a day off, thank you, Sister. Is Nian Nian still sleeping?”

In a rush, Qiao Jinyan stuffed a bun into her mouth.

The rich broth burst out with one bite. And the strong crab roe aroma hit her taste buds.

It was a fresh, sweet flavor.

The temperature was perfect. It didn’t burn her mouth.

Qiao Jinyan’s eyes suddenly froze.

This taste wasn’t made by the auntie.

She put down the bun, now half-eaten, and tasted the porridge.

As expected… the bird’s nest porridge had crab meat too.

It was the kind of taste she’d want to eat more of.

The saltiness was just right.

Qiao Jinyan never showed food preferences.

Even if she liked something, she wouldn’t eat much.

So few people knew her tastes.

Gradually, her family stopped forcing her to eat things she didn’t like.

But only Liang Yinyin noticed.

Even her mother didn’t notice…

She really liked crab meat, especially cooked in porridge.

Qiao Jinyan couldn’t describe the complex feelings that surged in her heart.

// 

“Does it taste good? Daydreaming again, really.”

Qiao Jinyan was picky about food since childhood. So it once worried her mothers for a while.

She rarely touched food she didn’t like.

She wouldn’t budge. And after confirming it wasn’t anorexia, they let her be.

Liang Yinyin noticed early on that her sister preferred mild flavors.

Beyond that, her gaze, at some point, always favored this troublesome alpha who didn’t know how to love herself.

Liang Yinyin also knew that no matter the taste, if she made it, Qiao Jinyan would notice.

And she’d eat a bit more than usual.

As for Nian Nian…

Liang Yinyin stirred the porridge in her bowl and said.

“Yeah, you know that kid loves sleeping in… not getting up is normal. I’ll drop you off at school, then come back to wake her.”

Since Qiao Zhinian wasn’t healthy, she didn’t follow their work or school schedule.

Qiao Jinyan nodded thoughtfully. She then glanced at Liang Yinyin, put down her spoon, and said seriously.

“Really? Sister works hard too. No need to drop me off today, Uncle Liu takes me every day.”

So Sister didn’t know Qiao Xian’an was back?

Should she bring it up?

Liang Yinyin got up at some point. Despite her finally having a day off.

Yet she still woke early to care for them.

She even put so much thought into her.

“You’re caring about people now? Yanyan’s changed a lot, huh?”

“Um… Sister, you’re…”

Getting so close again.

The cheek was recently bitten hard by Qiao Xian’an. It was suddenly touched gently by soft hands.

The alpha stared blankly at the elegant smile that suddenly loomed close.

The pleasant scent left her speechless.

“Yanyan, why’s your neck so red? Bug bite? Is it itchy?”

Liang Yinyin was about to let go so her sister could breathe. But her gaze caught something.

She reached out and touched the deep red mark on Qiao Jinyan’s neck.

The next second, the alpha was like a crab startled by heat. She jumped up. She was nervously covering her neck.

Qiao Jinyan stood ramrod straight. She was like a cadet at attention.

“I… it’s not that, it’s a bit itchy… it’s an allergy!”

Panic and conflict flashed in the alpha’s eyes.

This guilty, scared feeling hadn’t hit her in a long time.

She really liked Liang Yinyin and wanted to spend more time with her.

She wanted to get closer. Or like when she was little, laying on Liang Yinyin’s lap, enjoying a knee pillow, and chatting about daily fun stories.

But Liang Yinyin already had someone she liked.

When Qiao Jinyan thought of this, Qiao Xian’an’s tear-reddened face flashed in her mind.

“What then? Should I put some cream on it?”

A hint of doubt flickered in the omega’s eyes. And she was about to ask more.

“No… no need… I’m late for school, I’ll have the driver take me, I’m going.”

“Sister, eat slowly!

Wait, Yanyan, you…”

Didn’t finish your food, why run off?

Liang Yinyin stood there. She watched Qiao Jinyan vanish in an instant.

Looking where the alpha fled, she recalled the mark she saw.

Liang Yinyin glanced at the food the naughty kid barely touched.

And the unusually quiet house.

She slowly sat back down.

After a while, the omega put down her spoon. Her eyes were flickering with an unclear, dark glint.

When did Qiao Xian’an come back?

Why did she come out of Second Treasure’s room this morning?

Were they hiding something from her?
