The Little Bookworm Marked Her Ex-aunt - Chapter 44: Alpha's Face Was Completely Lost!

Chapter 44: Alpha’s Face Was Completely Lost!

In the wardrobe, Ji Shiyi’s clothes, scattered on Shu Yue’s body, were crumpled and kept slipping off as the two kissed.

Ji Shiyi leaned half her body into the wardrobe, pressing Shu Yue against the edge. She raised her hand to brush away the long hair that kept falling, and her gaze lowered to Shu Yue’s lips, reddened from kissing.

Shu Yue looked at her too.

She saw a flush at the corner of Ji Shiyi’s eyes, losing her usual calmness, breathing in small gasps.

The omega’s pheromones were like a lure, an invitation.

The little cat intruded at the wrong moment, squeezing between them.

Shu Yue reached out, her fingertips slowly tracing Ji Shiyi’s jawline. She leaned closer, and Shiyi, the cat, joined in. Ji Shiyi lifted the cat by the scruff and tossed it aside, responding to Shu Yue’s kiss.

Their breaths intertwined deeply, another intense kiss.

Shu Yue noticed Ji Shiyi seemed to love kissing. Each time they kissed, her body softened, her hands on Shu Yue tightened, holding her with force.

Ji Shiyi controlled the rhythm well, starting with light touches, teasing out Shu Yue’s reactions before leading her into a fiercer dance.

Shu Yue kissed in a daze.

Instinctively, she did something, and Ji Shiyi held her wrist.

“Not here,” Ji Shiyi said softly.

Ji Shiyi stepped back, sat on the bed, and looked at Shu Yue.

As Shu Yue prepared to move out, Ji Shiyi said, “Shu Yue, crawl out.”

Shu Yue’s face flushed instantly.

Crawl out? What did that mean?

She turned and saw Shiyi sauntering by, four paws on the ground, utterly graceful. It jumped onto Ji Shiyi, basking in the overwhelming pheromones in the room, lying there as if high on catnip.

Shame and desire clashed.

Shu Yue saw Ji Shiyi’s fingertips rest on the cat’s head, gently stroking its fur, then saw Ji Shiyi beckon her with a finger, her lips curving slightly.

The omega’s pheromones wove into a thin chain.

One end tied to Shu Yue’s neck, the other held by Ji Shiyi.

She bit her lip, arched her body, and moved her right hand out of the wardrobe.

When her palm touched the cold wooden floor, Shu Yue felt mortified. But Ji Shiyi’s gaze was encouraging, and the omega pheromones in the air enveloped her like soft gauze.

She wanted to be like Shiyi, leaning against Ji Shiyi’s leg, gently petted.

Desire ultimately triumphed, breaking through the intangible shackles in Shu Yue’s heart. When she knelt before Ji Shiyi, who leaned down to kiss her brow and said, “Shu Yue, you did great,” Shu Yue realized the chains never existed.

“Look,” Ji Shiyi’s fingertip slowly rubbed her lip, “following desire isn’t scary.”

“Shu Yue, you really did well.”

Ji Shiyi’s index finger hooked the edge of her hip-hugging skirt.

She said nothing, her moonlit eyes deep and heavy.

Shu Yue licked her lips, the innate wolfishness of an alpha stirring.

Ji Shiyi’s fingers gripped her hair, messing up her low ponytail. At first, she could still deftly tidy Shu Yue’s stray hairs, but gradually, her grip tightened, pressing down firmly.

Shu Yue looked up, swallowing a mouthful of glistening liquid, gazing at Ji Shiyi.

Ji Shiyi smiled, leaned down, but before the kiss landed, Shu Yue dodged.

“I don’t mind, so what are you afraid of?” Ji Shiyi asked.

Ji Shiyi didn’t let her escape and kissed her.

“Like it that much?” Ji Shiyi teased maliciously while kissing her, “You ate so eagerly.”

She stroked Shu Yue’s nape, teasing, “Baby, no more water from now on, just this, how about it?”

Shu Yue, blushing, shook her head repeatedly.

Ji Shiyi didn’t let up, determined to make her shed her shame today. Her fingertip touched Shu Yue’s lips, slipped inside, passed her white teeth, and rested on her pink lips.

She pressed lightly.

“Why didn’t I notice how flexible you are when we kissed?” Ji Shiyi said.

Shu Yue was so embarrassed she nearly cried, tears welling at her eyes. She bit Ji Shiyi’s finger in a small act of revenge, then hugged her, burying her face in Ji Shiyi’s collarbone, refusing to let her see no matter how she coaxed.

Ji Shiyi chuckled silently.

“Can’t handle it already?” Ji Shiyi asked.

Ji Shiyi patted her back, “Don’t like it this way?”

Shu Yue hugged the woman tighter. She was utterly enamored with the feeling of embracing Ji Shiyi, her body sometimes strong, sometimes soft, filling something within her.

She greedily breathed in the scent at Ji Shiyi’s neck, her gland in view. Shu Yue leaned in, her tongue lightly touching it.

A wet mark landed on Ji Shiyi’s neck.

Ji Shiyi’s body trembled, letting out a muffled groan.

Shu Yue seized the chance to counter, leaning in to nibble at it.

“Ugh—” Ji Shiyi gasped.

Ji Shiyi grabbed her hair, “Little darling, you’ve gone bad.”

Shu Yue’s mischief didn’t stop there.

She asked innocently, “Miss Ji, don’t you like it?”

Ji Shiyi smirked, far more open than her.

“I like it,” she said, looking into her eyes honestly, “I like kissing you, and I like you kissing me elsewhere, whether here or just now.”

Shu Yue was flustered by such blunt words, screaming internally, nearly overwhelmed by Ji Shiyi’s boldness.

She didn’t know how to respond, her gaze darting around, when she suddenly noticed something important.

“Miss Ji, Shiyi, Shiyi’s gone,” Shu Yue said.

Ji Shiyi wasn’t pleased with her distraction, tugging her collar, “Am I so unappealing that you have time to think about Shiyi?”

Shu Yue quickly explained, “No, no!”

“Really?” Ji Shiyi didn’t believe her.

“Really!” Shu Yue answered immediately.

To prove it, she acted at once.

“Ugh—” Ji Shiyi gasped.

A thin layer of sweat coated Ji Shiyi’s body, fragrant, licked away inch by inch. Kisses landed on her brow, lips, teeth, and neck, the gland on the right kissed repeatedly. The neck’s flesh was nipped but not pierced, clearly deliberate. And Shu Yue’s other actions were the same.

Ji Shiyi hadn’t expected her to have such a wicked side.

She sparked flames on her body but never fanned them enough, letting the fire flicker, never fully blazing.

“Miss Ji, I like it too,” Shu Yue said, kissing her with each word, “I like kissing you, I like…”

Before she finished, Ji Shiyi’s thigh pressed against her forearm.

“Like me like this too?” Ji Shiyi asked.

Tiring of Shu Yue’s slow pace, Ji Shiyi took charge.

She played for a while, about to pull back, but Shu Yue held her.

When their positions reversed, Ji Shiyi saw tiny sweat beads on Shu Yue’s nose. Without her glasses, those eyes darkened, like a naive beast revealing its true nature.

Drip.

A sweat drop fell on Ji Shiyi’s skin.

Ji Shiyi raised her hand to cover her mouth, unwilling to make a sound. But Shu Yue refused, pinning her wrists above her head.

“Miss Ji, don’t hide, I want to hear,” Shu Yue said.

On Ji Shiyi’s body, Shu Yue discovered her own baser instincts.

Seeing the one she liked stirred into uncontrollable gasps was so thrilling.

Hearing Ji Shiyi, overwhelmed, reach out saying, “Kiss me,” or “Slow down,” was so satisfying.

She treasured every reaction from Ji Shiyi.

She couldn’t stop, only wanted to continue.

What she loved most was that Ji Shiyi never held back her desires, even when pinned, telling her what more she wanted. Once satisfied, Ji Shiyi would hum comfortably.

Shu Yue loved this most.

It meant she could truly bring her joy.

She gazed at her intently, a wild thought emerging in her mind.

Mark her.

Permanently mark her.

Bite her gland hard at the peak, never letting go, injecting her pheromones forcefully. Trap her in a cage of desire, only freed by her.

In an instant, realizing this thought, Shu Yue felt a chill down her spine.

Ji Shiyi noticed.

She cupped Shu Yue’s face, looking at her intently.

“What’s wrong?” Ji Shiyi’s voice was soft, like it was soaked in water.

Shu Yue shook her head, unable to speak.

She dared not look at Ji Shiyi’s neck, fearing that thought would resurface.

Ji Shiyi was too clever.

“Want to mark me?” she asked directly.

Shu Yue wailed and cried.

“I’m sorry,” she said, “I’m sorry.”

As her hand moved to pull away, Ji Shiyi closed her legs, holding her in place, and hugged her.

“You haven’t made me cry, so why are you crying first?” Ji Shiyi teased, kissing away her tears, “Tell me, what’s going on?”

Shu Yue’s nose was red.

“I just…” she said, deeply embarrassed, “I was too bad just now.”

Ji Shiyi pressed her waist lower, proving with action, “But I liked it.”

Her ring and middle fingers were enveloped in warmth.

Half was seawater, half was flame.

The cold seawater reminded her how disrespectful her thought was.

The scorching flame, entwined with desire, tugged at her instincts.

“An omega like me won’t be permanently marked,” Ji Shiyi said, kissing her burning lips, “unless it’s by an alpha of equal strength. So, Shu Yue, don’t worry.”

“Thank you for thinking of me,” she said, her gaze gentle, nearly drowning Shu Yue, “My little alpha, what reward do you want?”

Shu Yue licked her teeth.

Ji Shiyi raised a brow, brushing her right-side hair away, exposing the gland’s skin.

As her teeth pierced, Ji Shiyi let out a muffled groan.

Shu Yue’s panting and tensed forearm muscles responded.

When Shu Yue finally withdrew her teeth, Ji Shiyi’s body softened, collapsing to the side.

Shu Yue kissed away her sweat, getting up to clean her. Ji Shiyi pulled her back, “Where are you going? Together.”

In the break room’s bathroom, a single-person tub squeezed two.

It started as a normal bath, but the mood shifted.

Shu Yue quickly said, “We can’t do that again, it’s already a bit red.”

Ji Shiyi laughed, “I know, so I didn’t plan for you to do it. Shu Yue, this time, let me help you.”

Pressed against the tub’s edge, kissed and touched by the omega, Shu Yue instinctively resisted, her alpha subconscious urging her to struggle, but the omega’s pheromones enveloped her, sapping her strength, leaving her soft, unable to do anything but become a pliable dough in Ji Shiyi’s hands.

She finally understood why Ji Shiyi had covered her mouth earlier.

It was pure instinct.

Ji Shiyi, as if in revenge, savored her reactions.

“I didn’t hide, Shu Yue, so don’t you hide either,” Ji Shiyi said.

Teeth marks landed on her wrist, then bit the small mole on her neck that Ji Shiyi favored.

“Good little bird, you sound lovely, let Sister hear,” Ji Shiyi teased.

Facing Ji Shiyi, Shu Yue had no resistance. She was utterly pathetic, carried from the tub by Ji Shiyi and placed on the sink.

Was there an alpha as pathetic as her in this world?

She whimpered, reaching to hug Ji Shiyi, wanting to nuzzle her neck, to bite her gland.

Ji Shiyi looked down at her.

“Want to mark me?” Ji Shiyi asked.

Shu Yue nodded.

“Who am I?” Ji Shiyi asked.

Shu Yue whimpered, “Miss Ji… ugh…”

“Wrong answer,” Ji Shiyi said, her palm landing on Shu Yue’s body.

Shu Yue trembled, eyes wide, her hair wet, the mirror behind fogged up.

“Miss Ji, you, you…” Shu Yue stammered.

Ji Shiyi stood before her, her gaze breathtakingly beautiful. She shifted from the yielding figure moments ago to a big cat, toying with her prey.

“Slap.”

Another palm landed.

Shu Yue cried, “Ugh—”

“Three more chances,” Ji Shiyi smiled, “Get it wrong, Shu Yue, and I’ll leave.”

How could Shu Yue let her? She wrapped her legs around Ji Shiyi’s waist, wanting a hug, but Ji Shiyi didn’t allow it, leaving her to endure anxiously. Every pore on her skin opened, craving the omega’s closeness. Her body and mind, hypersensitive in her susceptible period, were overwhelmed by the thick pheromone scent she could smell but not bite, pure torment.

“Ji… Ji Shiyi,” Shu Yue whispered.

“And?” Ji Shiyi was patient.

Shu Yue was lost.

She tried, “Shiyi?”

“Some might think you’re calling the cat,” Ji Shiyi said.

Shu Yue whimpered, shaking her head, “I don’t know, I don’t know.”

She made her cry again.

Ji Shiyi hugged Shu Yue, kissing her forehead.

“That’s progress,” she said, her palm guiding Shu Yue’s head to her neck, “Bite, dummy.”

Her aching gums and itching teeth pierced the gland without hesitation.

Ji Shiyi’s fingers tightened too.

Shu Yue bit her, clinging like a koala, her legs held by the woman, the counter cold, but her body hot.

As the alpha’s pheromones injected, Ji Shiyi’s hand loosened.

Her cheeks flushed, her pupils sated.

Holding the softened alpha, Ji Shiyi told her not to move and cleaned her.

When Shu Yue recovered, dressed in Ji Shiyi’s clothes, her mind was still foggy.

She felt ashamed of what happened, yet something suppressed was quietly released, both strange and exciting.

Looking at Ji Shiyi, Shu Yue dared not meet her eyes.

Alpha’s face was completely lost!

Though Shu Yue never thought alphas had much face to begin with, today, she was truly a mess.

Silently, she made a training plan in her mind.

Determined, Shu Yue clenched her fist, vowing never to be like this again.

She glanced at the bathroom.

After Ji Shiyi cleaned her up, she said she needed a shower. Shu Yue lacked her boldness to say “together,” fearing a repeat of earlier events.

“Knock, knock.”

Shu Yue tapped the door.

“Miss Ji?” Shu Yue called.

No response.

Shu Yue frowned, checked the time, and realized Ji Shiyi had been in there a while.

Was something wrong?

She pressed the handle, about to enter, when Ji Shiyi’s rare, flustered voice came, “Shu Yue! Don’t come in!”

Shu Yue paused, “Miss Ji, what’s wrong?”

Her worry grew, “Are you okay?”

Did she slip in the bathroom? Shu Yue tensed, saying, “Miss Ji, if I don’t come in, can you come out? Are you okay now?”

Ji Shiyi pursed her lips, “…I’ll come out now.”

She paused, adding, “Turn around.”

Thinking Ji Shiyi forgot a towel or clothes, Shu Yue obediently released the handle and faced the bed.

Creak.

The bathroom door opened.

“Don’t look at me,” Ji Shiyi ordered, “Close your eyes.”

Shu Yue complied, closing her eyes tightly, seeing only darkness, her other senses sharpening.

She heard Ji Shiyi open the wardrobe, likely looking for clothes. A furry tail brushed her wrist, and Shu Yue smiled, patting it, “Shiyi, don’t fuss.”

The tail retracted, probably Shiyi leaving.

“Miss Ji, are you done?” Shu Yue asked after a while, “Can I open my eyes?”

“Done,” Ji Shiyi’s voice came from behind.

Shu Yue turned, seeing Ji Shiyi in new clothes, the hip-hugging skirt replaced with long pants.

“Miss Ji, what happened?” Shu Yue asked, concerned.

Ji Shiyi said calmly, “Nothing, I forgot to bring clothes in.”

Just as Shu Yue guessed.

Shu Yue said, “Next time, you can ask me to get them for you.”

Ji Shiyi replied, “Okay, I’ll ask you next time.”

Shu Yue nodded, looking around curiously, “Shiyi’s gone again? It just appeared. Miss Ji, did you put it away?”

Ji Shiyi, fixing her hair at the vanity, paused slightly at the question, “Hmm, put away.”

Ji Shiyi put on the watch she removed earlier, checked the time, “It’s late, shall we go home?”

Shu Yue said, “Okay!”

Seeing her look around, Ji Shiyi asked, “Looking for your glasses?”

Shu Yue said, “Hmm… don’t know where they are…”

Ji Shiyi discreetly nudged the lopsided glasses by her foot into the cabinet’s gap.

“How about this, tomorrow when the cleaners come, I’ll have them look carefully. Can you manage today? Did you bring the glasses I gave you?” Ji Shiyi asked reasonably, her tone considerate.

Shu Yue stopped searching, squatting and looking up at Ji Shiyi, “I brought them. Captain Fu probably packed them in my bag.”

“Wear those for now,” Ji Shiyi said.

Shu Yue checked again, found no glasses, and gave up, “Hmm, that’s all I can do.”

Ji Shiyi led her out of the break room, casually asking, “Why treasure those glasses? Any story?”

Shu Yue held her water cup, saying softly, “Not much of a story, just the last pair my grandma got with me. I’ve used them for years, got them in junior high, then changed the lenses once in high school when my prescription changed.”

Ji Shiyi was silent.

She patted Shu Yue’s head, “We’ll find them, don’t worry.”

Ji Shiyi said, “I’ll pack up, shall we go home for dinner?”

Shu Yue raised her cup, “I’ll return this first, found it in the pantry’s sterilizer.”

Ji Shiyi nodded, “Go ahead.”

The secretary’s office, which had been staring at the room all afternoon waiting for action, finally saw hope near closing time.

“They’re out! They’re out!” the gossipmonger announced, “That girl came out!”

The fangirl sister was puzzled, “Why do I feel like she changed clothes? Am I hallucinating from working too long?”

Jiang Qian poured cold water on her, “Not a hallucination.”

Jiang Qian’s memory was sharp, “She not only changed clothes, but they’re President Ji’s. Last month at the quarterly meeting, President Ji wore that outfit. I have work photos on my computer, want to see?”

The fangirl sister was silent.

The gossipmonger laughed, “Hey, friend, you lost.”

The fangirl sister, unconvinced, struggled, “Pfft! Dirty thoughts! Who says changing clothes means… something happened? Couldn’t she have spilled coffee and dirtied her clothes?”

She gritted her teeth, determined to fight for her vacation.

“Wait,” she stood from her desk, “I’ll find out.”

With that, she marched out boldly. Two steps later, she ran into Shu Yue, who had just returned the cup.

Shu Yue nodded politely, “Hello.”

The fangirl sister replied, “…Hello.”

After Shu Yue left, she returned to the secretary’s office like a zombie.

“One person, eight hours,” she said weakly, “Split my day off among yourselves. Let me know so I can report to HR.”

She sat back, opening the work software.

The interface showed a leave adjustment request.

The gossipmonger laughed, “You asked? That fast? What did she say?”

The fangirl sister didn’t want to answer.

Sigh.

Did she need to ask?

Standing before the girl, the fresh hickey on her collar was glaringly obvious. What was there to ask? Anyone could tell what they were doing.

She was hurt.

Office play, and the only thing hurt was her vacation.

She swore off betting for good.
