Marked by My Omega Rival After Moving In (GL, ABO) - Chapter 67

“Today’s portion,” Yu Xiaoxiao’s eyes were bright as she coaxed, “Do you want some?”

Xiang Shuhuai stared at the brilliant, round eyes, momentarily lost in thought.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn’t mind her daze at all, eagerly waiting with sparkling eyes. Her fluffy hair seemed to have two little plush puppy ears that were wagging in anticipation, making her look incredibly cute.

…Does she want a kiss?

Xiang Shuhuai stared at those soft, slightly pouting, warm lips, and slowly, a blush spread across her cheeks.

Unconsciously, she licked her dry lips, moistening them.

—She had always been so curious about what Yu Xiaoxiao’s lips would taste like.

After all, the alpha girl’s lips looked moist and full, with a healthy, rosy color. And she loved sweet things, with a big, colorful candy box at home.

Her lips looked like candy—crystal clear and slightly pouting, with a small, beautiful cupid’s bow…

They should taste sweet, right?

Although they had kissed before, it had always been Yu Xiaoxiao leading. Xiang Shuhuai couldn’t match the alpha girl’s stamina. She didn’t understand how Yu Xiaoxiao had learned so quickly. She had even looked up kissing techniques online before their date and made notes.

But when it came to practice, she still couldn’t hold her ground against Yu Xiaoxiao. In the end, she was the one crying, losing herself in the kiss and unable to respond, only holding onto her shirt, almost drowning in the kiss.

…But still, she wanted to taste Yu Xiaoxiao’s lips.

Xiang Shuhuai once again lightly licked her lips.

“…Okay.” She heard herself say. “But don’t move.”

Yu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, “Mhm—”

Then, Xiang Shuhuai mimicked their previous kiss, wrapping her arms around Yu Xiaoxiao’s neck, lowering her face, and gently placing a kiss on those soft, warm lips.

…Instead of sweetness, there was more of the toothpaste taste they both used, with a hint of cool mint and tea, but also incredibly warm—so warm it almost made her want to melt into the embrace. Xiang Shuhuai tried to deepen the kiss, following the way Yu Xiaoxiao had kissed her before.

They kissed for a long time, but in the end, it was Xiang Shuhuai who lost her breath first. She pulled away, her cheeks flushed from the lack of oxygen and the intensity of the kiss. She almost collapsed into the embrace, but saw that Yu Xiaoxiao was still calm, standing there as though unaffected, her lips slightly red and wet.

“Big Ice Block,” Yu Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, “Your stamina is really poor.”

Something in Xiang Shuhuai’s competitive spirit stirred, and she bit her lip, unwilling to lose. “…Let’s do it again.”

She stepped forward, backing Yu Xiaoxiao into the mirror near the entrance. Raising her arm, she gently placed her hand on Yu Xiaoxiao’s shoulder and looked seriously into her eyes.

Since she was a few centimeters taller than Yu Xiaoxiao, she perfectly executed a “wall slam” posture.

“Wow.” Yu Xiaoxiao, pressed against the wall, seemed a bit startled by her boldness, blinking her eyes. “You’re amazing, Little Snowflake.”

Xiang Shuhuai gave her a fierce glare.

“Don’t move,” she said, then lowered her face and kissed her again.

She didn’t realize that despite her strong posture, her movements were still careful, like a cat nervously licking its fur.

Yu Xiaoxiao was ticklish from the way Xiang Shuhuai kissed her, but since she had agreed to let her lead, she just stood there quietly, letting Xiang Shuhuai kiss her. Whenever she tried to respond, she’d get a glare from the omega girl.

Kissing like this, it was still Xiang Shuhuai who ran out of breath first. In the middle of a deep kiss, she weakened, gasping for air and trying to pull away. But she was caught off guard and fell directly into Yu Xiaoxiao’s embrace.

“Ah!” she gasped as she fell into her arms.

Yu Xiaoxiao smiled down at her, looking at the flushed face in her arms, her lips wet.

“Big Ice Block,” she almost whispered at her lips, “I’m starting now.”

“What… mmm…”

The rest of the sounds were swallowed up by the kiss.

The heat nearly took all her rationality. Though she still tried to remember how to kiss, her mind went completely blank. Xiang Shuhuai slowly lost the strength to support herself, her hand resting weakly on Yu Xiaoxiao’s shoulder, gripping it faintly.

She wanted to stop, but she didn’t want to stop.

She sank into the kiss, led by Yu Xiaoxiao, not even realizing that tears were falling from her eyes.

Yu Xiaoxiao gently ended the kiss, pecking her red lips, and slowly kissed away the tears.

“Little Snowflake,” she laughed, “Don’t cry.”

Xiang Shuhuai struggled slightly in her arms, trying to get up. “…I’m not crying.”

The alpha girl, however, wouldn’t let go of her waist.

“I know, I know,” Yu Xiaoxiao smiled brightly, “Are you still upset?”

Xiang Shuhui gently shook her head.

“Then, will we always be like this from now on?” Yu Xiaoxiao said, a bit smug, looking seriously into Xiang Shuhui’s eyes. “If you ever feel uneasy or upset because of me—like when we were on our date at the cinema, and you got jealous—just come over and kiss me. That way, Big Ice Block, I’ll know you’re upset, and I won’t do that anymore, okay?”

She spoke so openly, without a hint of impatience or annoyance. It was like a clear, bright, and scorching sun. Xiang Shuhui stared at her, almost unable to come back to her senses.

Xiang Shuhui, who sometimes found herself annoyed by her own insecurities, feeling restless for no reason and with a heart that always seemed unsatisfied, could only wonder…

…but Yu Xiaoxiao seemed serious, wanting to satisfy her ugly, needy heart.

She pursed her lips and said after a while, “…Mm.”

“Alright, Big Ice Block,” Yu Xiaoxiao asked, “Do you want to make a pinky promise?”

Yu Xiaoxiao raised her hand seriously, shaking her pinky and waiting for Xiang Shuhui’s response.

…So childish.

Only kids would do something like this.

Xiang Shuhui thought to herself, not realizing that a small smile had appeared at the corner of her lips.

She raised her hand, a bit awkwardly, and hooked her pinky with Yu Xiaoxiao’s, completing the promise.

She had never made a pinky promise before. When her birth mother was still around, she attended kindergarten near their home. The other parents knew that Xiang Shuhui had a drunk, gambling stepfather and a weak, pitiful birth mother. So, they wouldn’t let their children play with her, afraid their kids might be harmed by her absurd stepfather or led astray by her.

The little friend who once gave her candy and said she loved her, stopped talking to her after being scolded by her mother.

As a child, Xiang Shuhui could read early. She would sit in a corner, hugging her knees, reading novels she found on the bookshelf. While watching her peers group together, running and laughing, she had secretly envied them. Their small hands would hold each other, playing clapping games or making pinky promises.

Back then, she had been curious about what a pinky promise felt like.

And Yu Xiaoxiao clearly had no idea about her past.

…But it felt like the void left since her childhood was gradually being filled, little by little.

What was a pinky promise like?

It was, Yu Xiaoxiao’s hand.

Warm, soft, firm. Scorching like the sun, as if it could melt her entirely. It dissolved the sharp, cold ice that had been buried in her bones for so long. It felt like a sincere, clumsy hug from the little Xiang Shuhui of her childhood.

…It felt so good.

Xiang Shuhui could hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

She wanted to keep Yu Xiaoxiao forever, never letting go.

Facing Yu Xiaoxiao’s bright, round eyes, Xiang Shuhui smiled faintly.

She had very few ways to keep Yu Xiaoxiao, but maybe the surgery was one of them.

Once she became a real omega—

However, Xiang Shuhui didn’t voice these selfish desires. She just held Yu Xiaoxiao’s hand, unwilling to let go, and in response to the puzzled look Yu Xiaoxiao gave her, she softly said, “I… still want to…”

She bit her lip, which was slightly red and wet from the kiss, her face turning pink.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaoxiao smiled, “Big Ice Block, you’re so cute.”

They held hands and kissed over and over again.

Xiang Shuhui’s head felt dizzy, her mouth filled with an increasingly sweet taste, like warm, burning honey that kept heating up between their lips. She didn’t realize the sensation wasn’t just coming from the kiss.

…But it was Yu Xiaoxiao who eventually stopped the kiss.

Although her face was also flushed, she bit her lip tightly, her expression no longer blurry, and in her misty round eyes, there was a hint of panic.

Xiang Shuhui stood still, confused, wanting to reach out to her, “…Yu Xiaoxiao?”

“I… Xiang Shuhui…”

Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously, urging her not to come closer, pressing her hand hard against the back of her neck, where the patch was.

However, she still couldn’t stop the strong, sweet fragrance from overflowing, quickly filling the entire living room.

The alpha girl was panicking, almost on the verge of tears.

“You… don’t come near me,” her eyes were red, “My sensitive period has started…”
