The True Record of a Flirty Omega's Failed Balancing Act - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

◎ Damn it, why did I go into heat all of a sudden! ◎

“Grandma Zhou, why did you bring Pei’an back? Did she make you angry?”

Outside the door, an elderly Grandma Zhou was holding her younger sister, Xu Pei’an’s hand. Pei’an’s eyes were red, as if she had just been crying. As soon as she saw Xu Guiyi, she made a fuss and threw herself into her arms, clamoring for a hug.

Grandma Zhou, standing by, said kindly, “I don’t know what’s wrong with this girl today. I couldn’t get her to sleep no matter how much I tried to coax her. She just kept saying she wanted her sister. She really is attached to you.”

Grandma Zhou was Xu Guiyi’s neighbor. Her children had died young, and she was all alone. Ever since Xu Guiyi moved here with her sister, she had treated the two of them like her own granddaughters. Whenever Xu Guiyi was busy with classes or work and couldn’t take care of Xu Pei’an, she would often take Pei’an to her own home, looking after her daily needs and even letting her stay the night. This helped Xu Guiyi a lot.

Seeing this, Xu Guiyi picked up little Xu Pei’an. After asking a few questions about Grandma Zhou’s health, she picked up a new massage chair she had bought and, after some back and forth, pushed it into Grandma Zhou’s hands.

After all, Grandma Zhou had looked after her sister for so long, so it was only right for her to show her gratitude.

After Grandma Zhou left, Xu Guiyi made a circle with her fingers, pretending to be angry, and flicked Xu Pei’an’s red nose. She frowned and said, “You were the one who said you wanted to sleep at Grandma Zhou’s today, so why did you give her a hard time?”

Xu Guiyi closed the door with one hand, letting Xu Pei’an sit on her arm. But Xu Pei’an didn’t seem to be afraid of Xu Guiyi’s expression. She let out a soft huff, and her chubby arms wrapped around Xu Guiyi’s neck. She leaned her head close to Xu Guiyi’s ear and repeated in a baby voice, “Missed my sister… missed my sister.”

“Sister missed Pei’an too, it’s just that sister was very busy today, with classes and a tutoring job, so I didn’t have time to take care of Pei’an. Tomorrow, sister will spend more time with Pei’an and pick you up from class, okay… Careful!”

Xu Guiyi had just closed the door and hadn’t finished her sentence when Xu Pei’an’s arms, which were wrapped around her, suddenly fell. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and she convulsed backward in Xu Guiyi’s arms, as if she was about to fall straight to the ground.

“Careful!”

This scene made Ning Chanyue, who was sitting on the sofa, jump in her seat. She quickly walked in front of Xu Guiyi and placed a hand on Xu Pei’an’s back to prevent her from falling.

“Thank you.”

Xu Guiyi gave Ning Chanyue a polite and distant nod. But she seemed to be used to her sister’s convulsions. She patted Xu Pei’an’s back reassuringly, then placed her on the sofa and knelt down to help her change her shoes.

Ning Chanyue’s movement caught Xu Pei’an’s attention. She hadn’t been around new people in a long time and seemed very curious about Ning Chanyue. Her round eyes stared at Ning Chanyue, unblinking. After a while, her small, fleshy hands pointed at Ning Chanyue and she asked, “Who, who?”

Of course, Xu Pei’an’s hands didn’t seem to be able to straighten. She could only tremble and bend her fingers into a crescent shape, pointing in Ning Chanyue’s direction.

Xu Guiyi lowered her eyes to put on Xu Pei’an’s slippers, not even glancing at Ning Chanyue. She said, “This is your sister’s high school classmate.”

Right, high school classmate.

Ning Chanyue wanted to laugh, but as soon as she pulled at the corner of her lips, she suddenly felt a secret current flowing through her body, making her legs feel weak and her face flush slightly.

Oh no.

Her heat was not supposed to be for a few more days, but she hadn’t been around an alpha in a long time. Suddenly inhaling a large amount of the pheromones of the alpha who had marked her before, Xu Guiyi, had probably induced her heat.

Ning Chanyue put one hand on the shoe cabinet next to her, barely steadying herself. After taking a few deep breaths and trying her best to look normal, she looked at Xu Guiyi and said, “What’s wrong with your sister?”

Her sister had changed her shoes and was now shaking her legs, mumbling something to herself, seemingly in a hurry to get off the sofa. Xu Guiyi smiled and flicked Xu Pei’an’s nose. Then she turned to Ning Chanyue, who she had been ignoring for a while, and her smile faded. She spoke in a concise manner, “She’s sick.”

Then, Xu Guiyi picked up Xu Pei’an and walked towards the bathroom to wash her up.

Before stepping into the bathroom, Xu Guiyi turned around and looked at Ning Chanyue, who was still standing by the door. Ning Chanyue thought Xu Guiyi had finally remembered her. Her lips parted slightly, and she was about to say something, but she heard Xu Guiyi say, “I don’t have time to worry about you. If there’s nothing, you should go.”

“I…”

Ning Chanyue’s voice was swallowed by the sound of the bathroom door closing. She gave a self-deprecating smile and reached up to touch the scent gland covered by a scent blocker patch. She looked at the door not far from her, but in the end, she walked over to the sofa, picked up the light green jacket that Xu Guiyi had just taken off, and buried her head in it like a puppy, greedily sniffing the lingering sandalwood scent that she missed so much.

Ning Chanyue squeezed her legs together. The sound of water running in the bathroom drowned out her trembling breaths.

It wasn’t until the bathroom door opened again that Ning Chanyue looked up, her eyes filled with desire, and watched Xu Guiyi, who was holding Xu Pei’an, walk into the bedroom. After sighing, she buried her head back into the jacket that she had already crumpled into a ball.

Flushed, wet, and panting.

She missed her so much.

……

By the time Xu Guiyi had finished preparing for her tutoring class tomorrow, she looked at the time on the bottom right corner of her computer again, and it was already 1:30 a.m.

Time to sleep.

She closed her laptop and turned to look at her sister sleeping in the rocking cradle, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Xu Guiyi leaned forward, one hand stroking her sister’s chubby face and the other hand gripping the railing of the cradle. The railing felt cold to her touch. She paused and looked at the place her fingers had touched, just as she always did.

It was a photo that she had traced with her eyes thousands of times.

The photo was of their last family trip. Her pregnant mother was holding the camera, her father was holding her mother’s hand, and a laughing her was following behind them. Of course, next to her was Ning Chanyue, eating candied haws.

However, Ning Chanyue’s face had been burned into a black hole by a cigarette butt.

Xu Guiyi just stared, slowly crouching down while holding the railing. Her fingertips traced the faces of her parents and herself one by one.

Then her gaze swept over the jarring hole in the photo and lingered for a long time. Her eyes were dark, and her brows were slightly furrowed, a look of resentment, yet also confusion.

Why?

Why did she betray her so decisively after indirectly causing the deaths of her parents?

Now that everything has changed, why did she suddenly come back?

Xu Guiyi let out a soft sigh, pushed open the door, and lit a cigarette for herself.

But just as the cigarette tip started to glow with a few sparks, she heard a few soft coughs not far away.

It was Ning Chanyue, who was extremely sensitive to smells.

… Why hasn’t she left yet?

Xu Guiyi’s lips thinned into a straight line. After taking a puff of the cigarette, she lowered her arm, letting it burn down slowly between her fingers.

She walked closer to Ning Chanyue, her tone carrying a hint of impatience. “There’s no room for you here, why haven’t you left yet… What’s wrong with you?”

It wasn’t until Xu Guiyi was right in front of her that Ning Chanyue, who had been wrapped in Xu Guiyi’s clothes, slowly lifted her head. Her eyes were wet, and her cheeks were like ripe cherries, dewy and with two strange pink blushes.

Ning Chanyue didn’t speak. She looked up at Xu Guiyi, who was standing in front of her, slowly took her wrist, and guided her hand to her shoulder, her neck, and then pressed it against her scent gland, which was still covered by a scent blocker.

Finally, she let out a soft moan, sticky and alluring.

Xu Guiyi’s hand quickly shrank back, breaking free from Ning Chanyue’s grip on her wrist. She paused, and then said with some surprise, “Are you in heat?”

“It feels so good. Want to give it a try?”

Perhaps influenced by her heat, Ning Chanyue seemed much bolder than before. She reached out to Xu Guiyi’s hand again, using the soft flesh of her palm to wrap around her index finger, as if hinting and hoping that Xu Guiyi would do something similar to her.

Xu Guiyi lowered her eyes, feeling the warmth from Ning Chanyue’s palm. Her expression was cold, almost expressionless, as if she were an outsider watching Ning Chanyue’s actions. After a moment, she said, “You can find your alpha, or buy an inhibitor.”

Xu Guiyi seemed completely uninterested in this kind of thing. But in the past few years, she had been alone and had considered bringing people home for the night.

However, she was always busy with her sister and couldn’t get away. On the rare occasion she had free time, she would sit in a bar and scan the faces of the pretty and glamorous girls around her, always feeling that something was missing. When she finally found someone, after only a few words of conversation, she would lose interest and make up an excuse to leave quickly.

Whenever this happened, her friends would always tell her that her standards were too high and that she shouldn’t choose a bed partner with the same requirements as a girlfriend. But she genuinely felt nothing for those people, unlike…

Xu Guiyi’s eyes scanned Ning Chanyue in front of her from head to toe.

But after a while, Xu Guiyi looked away. Ning Chanyue was her ex-girlfriend, and their past was dark and complicated. She still didn’t want to get too tangled up with her.

The two of them were silent, with only Ning Chanyue’s hot breathing echoing in the room. A hot late-night breeze blew in through the window, seemingly making her face even redder.

After a long time, Xu Guiyi finally put out the cigarette that was almost burned out and threw it in the trash can. When she turned back, she saw Ning Chanyue reaching behind her neck. Xu Guiyi frowned and quickly held down Ning Chanyue’s hands.

“What are you doing!”

But it was too late.

The jasmine scent, which had been confined for so long by the scent blocker, was finally released, instantly filling the entire room and Xu Guiyi’s nostrils.

Ning Chanyue gave her a radiant smile. Yes, she was always like this, relentlessly pursuing what she wanted, even if it was a deadly poison.

Xu Guiyi took a step forward and sat on the sofa. When she spoke again, her breathing was already hurried, and her voice was a little hoarse. She looked at Ning Chanyue and said, word for word, “Ning Chanyue, do you know what you’re doing?”

Xu Guiyi seemed to not want to be too close to Ning Chanyue. They were sitting on opposite corners of the coffee table. But even from a distance, Ning Chanyue could easily smell the thick and rich sandalwood scent from Xu Guiyi’s scent gland.

Yes, she was also aroused.

If she was aroused, why was she hiding it?

So Ning Chanyue got up, straddled Xu Guiyi’s legs, wrapped her arms around her neck, and nodded seriously. “Of course. I’m seducing my ex-girlfriend and begging her to let me belong to her tonight.”

Ning Chanyue had never been this主动 before.

She still remembered the first time Ning Chanyue went into heat. It was on the street, and the rush of lust was fierce. Ning Chanyue, her face flushed, suddenly curled up in her arms and, looking up, stammered that she thought her heat had started.

But by the time they got to a hotel, Ning Chanyue was too shy to let her touch her, clinging to her clothes and refusing to let go. Even though Xu Guiyi was already tempted beyond measure by the slightest hint of that jasmine scent, she ultimately had to give in to Ning Chanyue and inject an inhibitor into her.

She herself could only hide in the hotel bathroom to relieve the lust that Ning Chanyue had stirred up.

But now, who taught her how to be so seductive?

An inexplicable annoyance rose in Xu Guiyi’s heart.

But Ning Chanyue seemed to think that wasn’t enough. She pressed her body closer, curling up completely in Xu Guiyi’s arms. She looked up and leaned close to her ear, whispering something to her.

Just like the first time she told her that she was in heat.

But what she said was, “You said I was married. So don’t you want to try someone else’s wife? Don’t you want to know what it feels like to have an affair?”

That’s enough… that’s enough!

The scene of seeing You Zhuoqing and Ning Chanyue together at school tonight seemed to flash before her eyes again. Xu Guiyi’s eyes darkened, but she remained silent.

Ning Chanyue gently rested her forehead against Xu Guiyi’s forehead. She looked down and saw that Xu Guiyi was biting her lip, which had turned a little white.

Ning Chanyue smiled. This was what Xu Guiyi did when she was hesitating, and she knew it all too well.

So she gently pushed aside the lower lip that Xu Guiyi was biting and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t get pregnant, and you don’t have to… be responsible for me.”

After saying that, Ning Chanyue leaned forward and kissed Xu Guiyi’s red lips.

The kiss, filled with the jasmine pheromones, was hot and passionate. But her kissing skills were unexpectedly as clumsy as they were years ago. Ning Chanyue bit and sucked on Xu Guiyi’s lips as if she was eating an ear of corn, as if she wanted to completely meld into her flesh and bl00d.

But it was this awkward kiss that made Xu Guiyi freeze for a moment.

Ning Chanyue continued to kiss her on her own for a while. Seeing that Xu Guiyi had no reaction, she opened her eyes, her voice hoarse, and said with some grievance, “Hold me.”

Ning Chanyue was very close to Xu Guiyi, so close that Xu Guiyi could hear the slight tremble in her voice. Xu Guiyi looked up into Ning Chanyue’s deep brown eyes.

Those were the eyes that were widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in the entertainment industry. They were the eyes that so many people wished would look at them for even a second on stage. But at this moment, those eyes only held her reflection, only filled with love for her, only filled with sorrow for her.

She wasn’t a simple person at all, so why was she…

… Never mind, never mind. She brought this upon herself.

So she wrapped her arms around Ning Chanyue’s waist and deepened the wet kiss that had been five years in the making.

Then, she pushed Ning Chanyue down onto the sofa.

….

“Mark me, sister.”

…

“No, no more…”

…

Dawn was breaking.
