I Turned Out to Be the Dead White Moonlight of the Canary - Chapter 14

After listening to Song Shi’an recount how her mother had disciplined her in the past, Yan Sheng couldn’t help but say to Shi Jiu in her mind: [Why wasn’t this in the original story?]

[Ah, I don’t know. Since you’ve awakened, the real-world developments are bound to differ from the plot.] Shi Jiu didn’t know how to explain it either.

[Really?] Yan Sheng was somewhat skeptical, feeling that something was off. She had read the entire original story, after all.

Many things just felt strange.

But Shi Jiu also suggested that there might be discrepancies between the plot and the outline, possibly due to abandoned settings.

Yan Sheng couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong and didn’t press further.

“Big sister is amazing.” Unable to figure it out, she stopped dwelling on it, though the lingering doubts in her heart remained unresolved.

Truthfully, she still couldn’t help wondering—was the system really here to save this world?

Hearing her praise, Song Shi’an felt oddly embarrassed.

It wasn’t that impressive. She admitted that part of the reason she’d turned over a new leaf was her mother’s genuinely ruthless nature.

Yan Sheng leaned in and kissed her: “If big sister doesn’t want to play anymore, let’s go back.”

“Alright.” The manor was interesting, but there were too many people today, and Song Shi’an didn’t feel like dealing with them any longer.

“I’m going to take a shower.” Yan Sheng could still faintly smell her own pheromones and felt a bit embarrassed, as if she’d been acting like a rogue.

After her shower, Song Shi’an applied a suppressant patch, and the scent of green oranges was completely gone.

“Okay.” Song Shi’an released her.

By the time Yan Sheng finished her shower, Song Shi’an had already returned to her room and started playing the game she’d been into yesterday during the car ride.

Yan Sheng ordered breakfast and sat down beside her.

“Big sister, why don’t you play full-dive VR games?” Yan Sheng asked curiously.

Full-dive VR games were quite advanced now.

“You have to wear a helmet, and sometimes I’m just not in the mood. Not all full-dive games are fun—poorly made ones are just trash.” Song Shi’an didn’t mince words in her critique.

“There’s a full-dive mode, but it’s not worth it for short play sessions.”

“Oh.” Yan Sheng obediently sat beside her, watching her play.

The game had an ancient setting, and the scenery was beautifully rendered. Yan Sheng found herself quite taken with it.

She just couldn’t quite follow what Song Shi’an was doing in the game.

After Yan Sheng finished breakfast, Song Shi’an set down the controller and quit the game: “Let’s go. We’ll head to the hospital first. If there’s time in the afternoon, I’ll take you to get settled at your new job.”

Yan Sheng hadn’t expected things to move so quickly.

“Later, I don’t want to waste time accompanying you. Or if you don’t feel like going today, I can give you the address, and you can go by yourself.” Song Shi’an offered her two options.

Without hesitation, Yan Sheng chose the former—she didn’t want to go alone.

[Host, you really have no backbone. You’re an alpha, for heaven’s sake!] Shi Jiu lamented her lack of resolve once again.

[But if I go alone, I’ll just get nervous!] Yan Sheng retorted quietly.

This wasn’t just any interview—it was her first time entering a company as a nepotism hire. If her connection wasn’t there with her, of course she’d be nervous!

“Fine.”

Yan Sheng felt that Song Shi’an had always been quite patient with her. But remembering last night’s events, she also suspected that this kindness might not extend to just anyone.

At this thought, an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.

On the way back, Song Shi’an didn’t play games but instead checked the stock market. After that, she received an email.

It seemed to be a project report. Yan Sheng didn’t dare to look too closely and sat beside her, fiddling with her phone instead.

Song Shi’an gave it a casual glance, didn’t dwell on it, replied to two emails, and then closed her inbox.

After finishing, she sat there with her eyes closed, resting.

Yan Sheng didn’t dare disturb her and busied herself with her phone.

Though there wasn’t much to do—mostly just getting familiar with the new features.

Technology had advanced rapidly in recent years. As long as you logged in with the same account, chat histories would sync automatically.

Yan Sheng remembered that when she first started university, this wasn’t possible. Cloud storage required a paid subscription back then.

But now, it seemed unnecessary. She’d heard some new technology made it possible, though she didn’t understand the details.

Her old phone was outdated, so there were quite a few new things to get used to.

Shijiu had mentioned that the phone Song Shi’an gave her was the latest model this year—slim, lightweight, and top-tier in performance.

By the time Yan Sheng had explored most of its features, the car had already pulled up at the hospital entrance.

The car’s system announced their arrival. Song Shi’an opened her eyes and lazily yawned.

She wasn’t wearing makeup today, and her phoenix eyes carried a hint of drowsiness as she blinked awake.

“Let’s go. Get this done quickly so we can grab a meal afterward,” Song Shi’an said, walking ahead while Yan Sheng followed.

After a moment’s hesitation, Yan Sheng quickened her pace to walk beside her.

Song Shi’an led her straight to the reception desk. The nurse on duty recognized her immediately and came forward to greet them. The Song family held shares in this hospital, and Song Shi’an usually had her checkups here.

After all, though she publicly presented as an alpha, her official records couldn’t be falsified.

Going to another hospital would invite questions and increase the risk of exposure—something Song Shi’an wanted to avoid.

The doctors here were all familiar with her and knew she was an omega, sparing her the need for explanations.

The reception staff recognized her too and approached to assist.

Song Shi’an pointed at Yan Sheng and said she needed a checkup.

When the nurse saw Yan Sheng, she couldn’t help but show a flicker of admiration.

Beautiful omegas weren’t uncommon—the hospital saw plenty of people coming and going every day.

But face-to-face, without any filters, someone as stunning as Yan Sheng was rare.

Noticing the many discreet glances cast Yan Sheng’s way, most filled with awe, Song Shi’an felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

In some ways, she could be quite childish.

Of course, very few people knew this side of her.

The nurse escorted them through registration and then to the examination room, accompanying them the entire time.

After the tests, the doctor looked at the report, which listed Yan Sheng’s gender as “female alpha,” and wondered if she’d misread.

Even after years of working at the hospital, she’d rarely encountered an alpha with such a unique presence.

Generally, no matter how gentle, kind, or physically weak an alpha was, there was always something distinctive about them—whether in their gaze, demeanor, or temperament—that marked them as alphas.

But with Yan Sheng, it was impossible to tell just by looking.

The test results revealed Yan Sheng was actually an S-class alpha, with even greater potential for growth.

It turned out to be the same as Song Shi’an’s.

This category belonged to individuals requiring special registration—those designated as reserve personnel.

During peacetime, such people could freely pursue their interests, but once wartime mobilization began, they would be among the first to be conscripted.

After a while, their compatibility test results came out: a remarkably high 95% match.

Such high pheromone compatibility was quite rare.

The doctor’s only advice was, “If you don’t want children too soon, remember to take precautions.”

Yan Sheng blushed and nodded like a quail.

Song Shi’an, however, asked curiously, “What about reverse marking?”

The doctor looked at them in surprise, adjusting his glasses. “That shouldn’t pose much of an issue. Alphas have a very low conception rate, but if you’re concerned, we can prescribe medication along with regular checkups.”

“Since alphas rarely conceive, contraceptive drugs for them are seldom available commercially. If needed, they can only be obtained through hospital prescriptions.”

After some serious thought, Song Shi’an said, “Then let’s get them prescribed.”

When she turned around, she noticed her companion’s ears had turned completely red.

Song Shi’an couldn’t help but chuckle. “Shouldn’t we ask about it?”

Yan Sheng quickly nodded. “Of course.”

She just wasn’t used to the realities of adult life yet!

Though most people her age had long since adjusted.

But she had only just undergone differentiation…

The doctor prescribed the medication, and the two went together to collect it before finally wrapping things up.

By then, it was already noon, and Song Shi’an asked Yan Sheng what she wanted to eat.

Yan Sheng said she wasn’t picky and would eat anything.

So Song Shi’an chose a restaurant she liked without further discussion.

The restaurant was built over water, appearing almost as if it floated on the surface from the outside.

The interior decor was exquisite, exuding an air of elegance in every detail.

Yan Sheng had never been to a place like this before and couldn’t help looking around curiously.

The staff were very polite, showing no reaction to her curious glances.

In fact, one of them even took the initiative to explain things to her.

Being rich really is nice, even Shijiu couldn’t help remarking.

After spending these past few days with Song Shi’an, Yan Sheng had come to realize just how vastly different their worlds were.
