Marked by My Omega Rival After Moving In (GL, ABO) - Chapter 81
Xiang Shuhuai didn’t want to, but at the same time, she wanted to kiss now.
…However, the alpha girl had made up her mind not to give in. No matter what Xiang Shuhuai did, she remained unmoved.
Xiang Shuhuai leaned in, and the alpha girl reached out to cup Xiang Shuhuai’s cheek, rubbing it repeatedly, as if playing with dough, causing the pale, delicate skin to flush red, like a peach, then biting down.
“Big Ice Block,” she said after biting, still a little dazed, “You seem to have gained a little weight, the taste is really good… but you’re still so cold. Are you dressed too lightly? Want to wear my jacket? It would be even better to bite if it’s warm…”
…Who wants to be bitten like that?
But Xiang Shuhuai couldn’t push her away, so she lifted her hand and knocked at Yu Xiaoxiao’s wrist, only to be bitten again with a playful “ah!”
After several bites, the little biting dog finally backed off. Xiang Shuhuai looked at her with the teeth marks on her face, feeling even more aggrieved.
“Yu Xiaoxiao…”
Her cheeks were flushed, eyes full of water, looking at her, “Is that… not okay?”
The alpha girl, with the utmost seriousness, raised her wrist and showed her the readings on their handbands.
“It’s still yellow, Big Ice Block,” Yu Xiaoxiao said. “Ah, it looks like it went up again after just now.”
Of course, it was because of her…
Xiang Shuhuai turned her face away, rubbing the marks left by the bites on her cheek, silent.
Seeing her sulking like a child, Yu Xiaoxiao smiled, then leaned in to mess with her long hair.
“Don’t be mad, Big Ice Block,” she coaxed, “Okay? This is for your own good, we’re treating it slowly. If we fix it, we can… do anything.”
She spoke in such a mature and reliable manner, almost like an older sister, but her hands were mercilessly messing up the soft long hair, her eyes curving playfully.
“…Yu Xiaoxiao!”
Xiang Shuhuai couldn’t stop her hand, so she turned to face her, ready to complain, but was met with a pair of eyes that were full of indulgence and helplessness, unusually gentle.
Yu Xiaoxiao really seemed like an older sister, looking at her with that tender, doting gaze. She looked nothing like the usual childish and naive version.
Seeing this, Xiang Shuhuai froze for a moment, only to be rewarded with a “smack” on her cheek.
After succeeding, the alpha girl cheerfully opened the car door and returned to the driver’s seat. She looked at her proudly in the rearview mirror, smiling, “—Let’s go home, Big Ice Block!”
Xiang Shuhuai sulked, turning her face away.
It wasn’t until they reached the house that the readings on her handband turned green. Yu Xiaoxiao smiled back, then turned to look at her, meeting a pair of soft, slightly aggrieved black eyes.
“Ah, Big Ice Block.” Seeing her, Yu Xiaoxiao smiled smugly, “Shall we kiss when we get home?”
When they finally got home, Yu Xiaoxiao took a spray and sprayed it all over the two of them, up and down, until the air was filled with mist. She stopped when everything was damp.
Xiang Shuhuai sniffed, and indeed, she couldn’t detect any pheromone scent anymore.
…That only made her more dissatisfied, and she grabbed Yu Xiaoxiao’s sleeve.
“Yu Xiaoxiao…”
She called softly, leaning on her shoulder, hoping to catch a whiff of the sweet, soft scent belonging to the alpha girl.
But instead, a force at the collar of her neck pulled her away from Yu Xiaoxiao’s shoulder.
Xiang Shuhuai looked up in disbelief, only to see those innocent, clear, amber eyes blinking at her.
“Be good, Big Ice Block, don’t act out,” Yu Xiaoxiao said seriously. “You can’t smell it. If my shielding isn’t perfect, you’ll feel uncomfortable.”
The two of them were sitting on the couch, and Xiang Shuhuai looked at her, then at her pale hand, before softly saying, “…I understand.”
“Sorry.” She lowered her gaze, stood up, and said, “I shouldn’t have touched you.”
“Not… what, Big Ice Block?” The alpha girl hurriedly stopped her, “No, that’s not what I meant—”
She seemed flustered, following Xiang Shuhuai around like a little dog, then suddenly got a brilliant idea. She grabbed her wrist, leaned in, and kissed her cheek with a loud “smack.”
“Big Ice Block, Big Ice Block,” she whispered in such close proximity, “Don’t be mad, let’s kiss, okay?”
—She said it was just a kiss, but in reality, it lasted quite a while.
The kiss was gentle and innocent, full of cautious affection, but also firm, as though stripping her of everything. It felt almost like it was burning.
Maybe it had been too long since they kissed like this, Yu Xiaoxiao kissed with such force, as if wanting to devour her.
Xiang Shuhuai’s body softened, and she could only lean into her lover’s embrace, arching her neck, closing her eyes, and letting her take control.
The alpha girl took over, kissing gently, like a bird pecking at her lips, then claiming every last bit of air.
Xiang Shuhuai felt her burn with heat, her head spinning, unable to remember anything, only instinctively whimpering, obediently responding to the kiss, trying to fill the emptiness inside her.
Mmm…
She whimpered, clutching onto Yu Xiaoxiao’s sleeve.
Yu Xiaoxiao. That was the only name left in her mind.
In the haze of her mind, the forceful yet gentle kiss suddenly withdrew, air rushed back into her lungs, but Xiang Shuhuai’s mind was empty, only a blank space as she whimpered, leaning in, wanting to continue being kissed.
“Yu Xiaoxiao…”
She leaned in, but only received a gentle pat on her head. The alpha girl, although still lost in the kiss, smiled softly, but firmly refused to continue kissing now.
“Big Ice Block,” she whispered, “The handband is about to turn red. The alert sound went off. You’ll feel uncomfortable.”
Xiang Shuhuai didn’t know what would happen if the handband turned red, but she knew her head was spinning, and she could barely remember anything, only wanting to fill the aching emptiness by her lips.
However, on this matter, she couldn’t change Yu Xiaoxiao’s mind. She could only wait, waiting for the numbers on the monitoring bracelet to gradually drop and return to the completely safe green zone before she could receive another kiss.
Yu Xiaoxiao was afraid of stimulating her glands, so she didn’t dare kiss her too long or too deeply. Instead, she kept interrupting their kisses, staying at the edge of the bracelet’s warning zone, and only continuing once the numbers returned to a safe range.
Buzz.
The countless soft buzzing sounds from the bracelet repeatedly dragged her consciousness back to reality, almost gently yet cruelly stripping Xu Shuhai of all her rationality.
[Here they kissed, but it can’t be written, so here’s a little interlude:
Yu’s family’s golden retriever brought home a cat.
It was a fairly large cat, bigger than the golden retriever, but shockingly thin. The cat’s ribs were visible through its skin, it was so emaciated.
That day it rained heavily, and the raindrops pounded on the street, creating steam. Everything was hidden in a fog-like rainstorm. The cat’s fur, now soaked and stained with bl00d, revealed a faint pinkish hue.
When the little dog grabbed it by the neck and brought it home to the yard, its breathing was weak, as though it might stop at any moment.]
A damp, translucent tear rolled down her cheek, only to be gently kissed away by her lover.
“Ah, Big Ice Block…”
She heard Yu Xiaoxiao’s soft voice, tender and innocent, with a hint of surprise.
“You’re crying.”
Then, Yu Xiaoxiao kissed her poor, swollen lips and shared the taste of that tear with her.
It was bitter, tinged with a hint of coldness, like snowflakes on an iceberg, lingering between their hot lips before melting away.
“Xu Shuhai.”
She spoke softly, gently, each word lingering.
“You’re really beautiful.”
This murmured confession made the omega girl’s ears burn even hotter, like a light feather landing on a lake’s surface, sending ripples through her heart, making her want to reject these affectionate words and praise that didn’t seem to belong to her.
“I’m not…”
I’m not beautiful. This thought instinctively crossed Xu Shuhuai’s foggy mind. She knew her face was only passably acceptable, but her body was thin and pale, the kind that would completely turn people off. She didn’t have the smooth curves typical of a woman, only a skeletal, unattractive form.
But despite being so ugly, so off-putting, the alpha girl still said these things…
“小雪花.” Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Are you… hmm… thinking of something bad again?”
Although it was just a question, she seemed to have already decided, punishing Xu Shuhai with a deeper, more possessive kiss.
“—Don’t think of yourself like that, Xu Shuhai.”
The alpha girl spoke as if she could really hear Xu Shuhuai’s thoughts, firmly, even a little arrogantly.
“You are really, really beautiful.”
She said this, but then the buzzing from the bracelet interrupted their kiss. She lightly pecked her lover’s lips, turning the soft, glistening lips into a deeper, more beautiful shade of red.
Her amazing lover just curled up in her arms, clutching at her shirt, tear-filled eyes following this light peck, then shaking her head in response to all the praise.
“I’m not…”
Such an amazing person.
Yu Xiaoxiao’s heart ached with tenderness. The cool moonlight scattered across a lake of sour, bittersweet emotions, causing gentle ripples.
Clearly, Xu Shuhai was that remarkable, respected yet feared little President Xu, seemingly capable of anything, yet she always thought so little of herself, treating herself carelessly, as if she was worthless…
“It’s not like that.”
And so, Yu Xiaoxiao kissed her again.
“Xu Shuhuai, you’re really, really, really wonderful…”
