Pair A? No Thanks! [Transmigration] - Chapter 13

At eleven in the evening, Shi Ning leaned on the sofa, drowsy, and yawned.

Su Tianxue stood with her arms crossed on the balcony. The balcony of the old building was semi-enclosed and had no flowers. Su Tianxue had once tried to grow them, but every flower she nurtured died, either from spider mites or powdery mildew. Su Tianxue felt she had no knack for gardening.

This sunny, semi-enclosed balcony was generally used for drying clothes.

Su Tianxue stood by the window, her gaze fixed outwards.

Shi Ning turned on the sofa to look at her and thought that sometimes, when she was quiet, this woman looked like a faint painting, with light strokes, revealing a hint of lightness and a touch of romance. If the wind were a little stronger, Shi Ning would be afraid that Su Tianxue would simply shatter in the wind and drift away with it.

Because she was so afraid of her disappearing like that, Shi Ning spoke to break the silence.

“Still worried about Su Wanxing?”

Su Tianxue pursed her lips, not turning around, and nodded slightly.

Shi Ning saw the gentle sway of her hair, knowing she was answering.

She: “If Su Wanxing doesn’t come back, you won’t sleep tonight?”

Su Tianxue: “I can’t sleep.”

Although Su Wanxing had checked into a hotel with an Omega she knew, as an older sister, not seeing her sister return home still made her feel a bit anxious.

And she couldn’t help but wonder if Su Wanxing’s sudden departure was because she had seen Shi Ning in the house.

She was clenching her fingers so hard they almost calloused. When the wind blew, she would rub her arms, probably thinking that friction could generate heat.

Shi Ning sighed softly, walked over, and embraced Su Tianxue from behind, holding her tightly. Her chin rested on Su Tianxue’s chin, and like a small animal, she gently rubbed her neck.

“Want to try a way to fall asleep with me?”

The moment she was embraced, a warmth spread from behind, a warmth that dispelled some of the loneliness in Su Tianxue’s heart. However, hearing Shi Ning’s still off-key, completely nonsensical words, she became annoyed and struggled: “Let go of me.”

Shi Ning wouldn’t let go.

The more Su Tianxue struggled, the tighter she held her.

“Shi Ning!” Su Tianxue flared up.

Shi Ning lazily replied: “I’m here.” She even deliberately pressed her cheek against hers, “Want to consider my suggestion?”

Su Tianxue changed her tactic against Shi Ning: “Alright, as long as you let me top you once.”

Shi Ning raised an eyebrow: “Okay.”

This agreement was too easy; Su Tianxue was a little suspicious: “Really?”

Shi Ning’s lips curved slightly: “Really.”

Seeing Su Tianxue pondering something, Shi Ning chuckled: “As long as you can beat me, I’ll let you top me.”

Su Tianxue: …

She had been a bookworm since childhood and later worked in research. While not weak, could she beat Shi Ning? Su Tianxue could tell without much thought that it would be difficult.

Su Tianxue: “Forget it, just hug me. Pretend I didn’t say anything just now.”

Shi Ning loved the feeling of holding a woman, with soft fragrance and warm jade in her arms, it always made her feel comfortable. Holding someone like this, holding Su Tianxue, made Shi Ning feel like her empty, desolate heart had suddenly gained a spring breeze and a blooming flower.

She loved this feeling.

Shi Ning held her without letting go, standing with her in that position on the balcony, enjoying the breeze.

“Wife, I’m cold,” Shi Ning whined, “Hug me for warmth.”

After so many days of interaction with this person, Su Tianxue had seen through her skin, which was thicker than a city wall, and thus said without hesitation: “You can wear clothes if you’re cold.”

Shi Ning’s provocative words came effortlessly: “But you are my clothes.”

Su Tianxue surprisingly played along, “What, women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs, is that it?”

She felt she must truly be bored to be bickering with Shi Ning here.

Shi Ning pouted: “No way.” She complained softly, “I’m the kind of person who forgets loyalty for beauty, the kind who’d stab a friend for a woman. Wife, how could you say that about me?”

Su Tianxue: “You’re proud of that?”

Shi Ning: “Not at all, just a little confident.”

“But—” Shi Ning’s voice changed. “So, Su Tianxue, did you just mean that you’re my woman?” The last few words were said in a particularly alluring way, her voice trailing off enticingly, upward. Su Tianxue suddenly felt as if someone was holding a small shovel in her heart, digging one scoop after another, planting a few flowers that bloomed into the words ‘you are my woman.’

“Too lazy to bother with you.” Su Tianxue chose a strategy of evasion.

Shi Ning laughed behind her. When she laughed, her chest resonated, and the vibrations were transmitted directly through Su Tianxue’s back. She rubbed against Su Tianxue’s neck happily, “I like you thinking that.”

“Not cold now, are you?” she suddenly asked.

Only then did Su Tianxue realize that after Shi Ning embraced her, she hadn’t felt cold anymore, nor had she instinctively rubbed her arms from time to time. Shi Ning’s words, and her embrace, were linked to gentleness.

Su Tianxue realized this, and her ears felt a little warm, her voice a little hoarse: “You don’t have to do this. I can just put on a jacket.”

The wind was strong at night, and she was afraid of catching a cold, having been standing there for a while, which was why Shi Ning came to hug her.

Shi Ning: “Why wouldn’t I do this?”

Her voice held a lightheartedness that could dispel boredom: “Legally speaking, you’re my wife now. What’s wrong with becoming clothes to shield my wife from the wind?”

“What if there are people from the cohabitation monitoring committee watching us in this complex? Maybe seeing this scene will even give us bonus points.”

“You’re talking nonsense,” Su Tianxue couldn’t help but laugh. “Watched too much TV, haven’t you?”

Her sharp eyes caught sight of two girls appearing downstairs: one was Su Wanxing, and the other was her Omega friend. Su Tianxue quickly reached out and pushed Shi Ning away, “Wanxing’s back.”

Shi Ning stood with her arms outstretched, feeling a bit like a woman involved with a married person, just in the middle of a passionate moment, suddenly pushed away, with the other saying, “My husband’s back.”

She watched Su Tianxue’s anxious expression, nodded resignedly, grabbed a coat for her, and followed her downstairs to meet Su Wanxing and her “pretending to be an Omega” friend.

Su Wanxing wore a blank expression, while Jiang Ningran, behind her, smiled sweetly, looking like some harmless small animal. Upon seeing Su Tianxue, Su Wanxing immediately ran to her, calling “Sister” and burrowing into Su Tianxue’s embrace.

Watching her actions, Shi Ning felt increasingly annoyed.

Jiang Ningran wasn’t doing much better.

Her polite smile froze into ice the moment she saw Shi Ning, leaving only astonishment.

—Why was Shi Ning here?

Hadn’t she prevented Su Wanxing from meeting other women?

Why was Shi Ning, who should have been out of the picture, back in the plot?

Author’s Note:

It seems the purest woman in the whole scene is only the older sister now. Kkk.
