Stealing Moonlight (Lily ABO) - Chapter 18
“Yo, ladies, where are you headed?”
A short man in a sailor-striped shirt sidled over, his rat-like eyes darting around his pancake-flat face. He intermittently scanned Li Ling’er’s chest, then occasionally glanced at Ruan Jing’s face.
The inhibitor patch on the “rat-eye’s” nape was half-peeled, and the choking smell of firewood from him was a blatant challenge to Ruan Jing. Li Ling’er noticed his pheromone level was above average, and he clearly thought highly of himself for it.
Ruan Jing evidently noticed it too. She put an arm around Li Ling’er’s shoulder. “Let’s wait for the bus over there.”
“Hey, ladies, don’t rush off!” The “rat-eye” didn’t have long legs, but he scurried quite fast, and his eyes were sharp.
“You’re going to the train station, right? What a coincidence, I’m going to the train station too. How about the three of us go together? Come on, let me help you with your luggage!”
He finished speaking and reached for Li Ling’er, but it was clearly not to help with the bundle; he was reaching straight for her br3asts. Li Ling’er yelped, completely losing her composure from when she was with Ruan Jing. She was like a terrified rabbit, forgetting to even dodge.
However, just as the “rat-eye’s” hand was about to touch Li Ling’er, it suddenly froze, along with the lecherous expression on his face.
He himself was clearly surprised, struggling hard several times, but he didn’t budge an inch, like a fat mouse caught in tongs.
As for the choking firewood scent, it became weak and thin under the increasingly strong wheat seedling scent from Ruan Jing. The surrounding onlookers, who had initially come to see something unusual and enjoy the show, now lost interest, all becoming quiet as cicadas in cold. A few Alphas with lower pheromone levels were so intimidated by Ruan Jing’s powerful pheromones that their faces turned pale, and they could barely stand, like faded, rain-soaked paper effigies.
Ruan Jing’s heroic eyes were now as cold as if frosted with snow. She gave the “rat-eye” a faint glance, and he visibly began to tremble.
“Don’t cause any more trouble. Get out!” Ruan Jing said in a low, cold voice. As soon as her words fell, the intense pheromones also faded considerably.
The terrified “rat-eye” immediately went weak in the knees, slumping to the ground with a thud. He stammered a couple of “Sorry’s,” then scrambled through the crowd and ran far away.
Ruan Jing exhaled softly. The tightly strung nerve also relaxed, and she instantly felt a bit unsteady, swaying weakly.
For Ruan Jing, an Alpha who had just emerged from her differentiation period, forcibly suppressing a fully mature male Alpha with a non-trivial pheromone level was by no means simple.
At this moment, black mist rapidly steamed and swirled before Ruan Jing’s eyes. Large beads of cold sweat streamed down her temples and neck, threatening to soak her shirt collar.
Just as she was about to fall, Li Ling’er, as if suddenly recovering, threw the bundle she was clutching and lunged into Ruan Jing’s arms, crying and wailing.
“Wuwuwu, I was so scared just now!”
Her crying was quite loud, and being so close to Ruan Jing, it made Ruan Jing’s ears ring, but it also helped her clear her head slightly.
“College student, you need to hold on, everyone’s watching!”
Li Ling’er reminded her in a voice that even Ruan Jing could barely hear. Ruan Jing also realized that Li Ling’er, seemingly panicked, was actually subtly and steadily supporting her swaying body.
“Quick, stroke my head, console your Omega!” Li Ling’er urged in a whisper.
Ruan Jing gritted her teeth and raised her hand, haphazardly stroking Li Ling’er’s back a couple of times. As a result, Li Ling’er began to wail loudly, as if she had heard a starting gun.
Even a fully wound tin frog wouldn’t have her vigor, and it wasn’t just thunder without rain; her tears flowed readily, gushing down and soaking the fabric on Ruan Jing’s shoulder in no time.
“…I’m never coming out again… Wuwuwu… That brute was too much of a bully!”
To anyone watching, she appeared as a fragile, terrified Omega.
