The True Record of a Flirty Omega's Failed Balancing Act - Chapter 30

Chapter 30

◎She’ll only watch your joys and sorrows with a cold eye.◎

“Give it to me!”

The moment she heard Xu Guiyi’s name, Ning Chanyue’s heart leaped. She quickly reached out. But just as her fingertips touched the phone case, You Zhuoqing put the phone on the floor behind her.

It made a muffled sound.

“No.”

Ning Chanyue’s finger was still suspended in midair when You Zhuoqing’s other hand grabbed it. She slowly placed Ning Chanyue’s hand on the bedsheet, stroking her knuckles inch by inch as if they were a treasure. Slowly, You Zhuoqing looked up again. This time, she didn’t care about the wound on her face and pulled out a standard smile for Ning Chanyue.

“Do you like her that much, Ningning? Looking at the message she sent… it seems she kicked you out, and now you want to go back to her, right?”

You Zhuoqing’s voice was a little hoarse, but as she spoke, she stretched her smile wider and wider, revealing her sharp, vampire-like teeth.

She just looked at Ning Chanyue, as if she wanted to stare a hole into her heart.

“…What do you like about her? She’s so boring, Ningning.”

But Ning Chanyue just stared at her and didn’t say a word.

The atmosphere became quiet like this.

“Why aren’t you talking?” You Zhuoqing pressed.

Not talking… is it because you’re still thinking about her?

“I’d like anyone but you.” At You Zhuoqing’s urging, Ning Chanyue finally spoke. But her voice was still terribly cold, like an ice pick, stabbing straight into You Zhuoqing’s heart.

“Why?” You Zhuoqing looked straight at Ning Chanyue and asked again, as if she really wanted to know the reason.

But Ning Chanyue seemed to not have heard her, completely ignoring her. She just took a deep breath, as if she had exhausted all her patience, and stared at You Zhuoqing, raising her tone and saying, “Give me the phone. I want to see what she replied to me.”

Perhaps it was jealousy that Ning Chanyue was angry with her because of her, or for some other reason, You Zhuoqing still seemed unhurried. She pestered Ning Chanyue and said stubbornly, “Tell me. Tell me why you like her and not me… and I’ll give you the phone.”

When she said this, You Zhuoqing’s face was very close to Ning Chanyue’s. Her eyelashes occasionally brushed against Ning Chanyue’s leg. Perhaps feeling the tickle between her legs, Ning Chanyue curled her toes and trembled as she pulled her legs in.

How cute. Although Ning Chanyue still refused to answer, when she saw Ning Chanyue’s legs curled up at this moment, You Zhuoqing still had this thought.

So You Zhuoqing continued to look at her legs, which had trembled a few times just now. But suddenly, You Zhuoqing’s eyes darkened a little, because she had a dark thought: would Ning Chanyue tremble like this when she reached her climax in bed?

Would the sight be beautiful?

…But she had never seen it. You Zhuoqing lowered her brows. Only that Xu Guiyi had seen it.

But why her?

Thinking of this, You Zhuoqing’s eyelashes trembled. She suddenly picked up the phone, as if she had finally compromised with Ning Chanyue, letting her see the message from Xu Guiyi.

But to say she compromised was a little inaccurate. She actually wanted Ning Chanyue to take a good look at how cold and decisive her beloved Xu Guiyi was.

But in the next second, before You Zhuoqing could even lift the phone, Ning Chanyue took a deep breath and actually answered the question You Zhuoqing had just asked her very seriously, saying in a very fast voice, “I just like her. To put it mildly, she’s a normal person, but you’re not. She respects me. Even if she doesn’t express it sometimes, I can feel that she’s telling me she loves me with her actions. But you… you just recklessly impose your so-called love on me, without caring if I want it or not. And even if she chooses to leave me, there’s a reason for it.”

In fact, this was not the first time Ning Chanyue had said this to You Zhuoqing. A few years ago, when they were together day and night, You Zhuoqing would persistently ask Ning Chanyue over and over again what she was lacking compared to Xu Guiyi.

Although Ning Chanyue mostly didn’t want to answer this overly childish and obvious question, occasionally, when You Zhuoqing annoyed her, she would answer You Zhuoqing and tell her these things in a similar way.

Of course, You Zhuoqing’s response was always similar.

But this time, You Zhuoqing didn’t say anything, nor did she play any tricks. Instead, she continued her previous action and handed the phone to her.

As if she didn’t expect You Zhuoqing to keep her promise, Ning Chanyue looked at You Zhuoqing with some surprise. But when the phone was opened and Ning Chanyue’s eyes swept across the message on the lock screen, she seemed to freeze again.

Then, as if afraid she had misread, Ning Chanyue’s hand trembled as she opened WeChat. She then stared straight at the message Xu Guiyi had sent her, not moving at all.

Likewise, You Zhuoqing also stared straight up at Ning Chanyue’s face without moving.

You Zhuoqing knew what Xu Guiyi had said. That person told Ning Chanyue that she wouldn’t be home tomorrow and that if she wanted to pack up, she should get the key from the grandma next door and go in herself.

She also said that since they had broken up, there was no need to see each other again.

Since she didn’t like Ning Chanyue anymore, why was Ning Chanyue still so eager to cling to her?

Just like her, she had to cling to Ning Chanyue.

Thinking of this, You Zhuoqing suddenly smiled, but before the laughter had completely faded, Ning Chanyue bent down as if she had given up and slowly placed the phone on her lap. She lowered her eyes, looking extremely lost. She didn’t look at the screen or at You Zhuoqing.

“She doesn’t want to see me,” Ning Chanyue said to herself.

“You’re so good. It’s her loss that she doesn’t want to see you. And she’s not worthy of seeing you anyway.”

These words seemed to be comforting Ning Chanyue, but You Zhuoqing’s tone was more of a sense of relief from losing a love rival than of sympathy. As You Zhuoqing spoke, she cupped Ning Chanyue’s lowered face with both hands and said, “Don’t be sad for her…”

But before she could finish, You Zhuoqing’s tone stopped.

“Why are your eyes red, Ningning? Is it because of her?”

But how could it be because of her?

Although Ning Chanyue and Xu Guiyi had only broken up for less than a day and it was normal for her to not have recovered yet, You Zhuoqing still tried to hide her intentions by wiping away the moisture from the corners of Ning Chanyue’s eyes with her fingertip. But even after wiping it away, You Zhuoqing’s eyes were still fixed on Ning Chanyue, not moving an inch.

“What are you looking at me for?” Feeling You Zhuoqing’s intense gaze, Ning Chanyue uncomfortably turned her head to the side.

“She’s not worth you doing this for…” These words sounded somewhat normal, but unfortunately, You Zhuoqing paused and then said, “I want to kiss away the tears from the corners of your eyes, Ningning.”

You Zhuoqing said this while feeling the cool touch flowing from her fingertips.

But in fact, she not only wanted to kiss away Ning Chanyue’s tears, she also wanted Ning Chanyue to only cry for her. Well, that’s not right… except in bed, she only wanted her to be happy for her. She also wanted Ning Chanyue to only look at her, her gaze no longer wavering to anyone else.

If only there was magic, she would definitely cast a spell to bind their bodies and souls together for all eternity.

But before You Zhuoqing could say these desires in her heart out loud, Ning Chanyue seemed unable to tolerate what she had just said and looked back at her, glaring fiercely.

But for some reason, the corner of You Zhuoqing’s mouth curled up again. Then, she slowly put the index finger that had just wiped Ning Chanyue’s tears to her lips, her eyes upturned as she looked at Ning Chanyue. Then, under Ning Chanyue’s gaze, You Zhuoqing gently kissed the tear drop that remained on her fingertip, and even went a step further by delicately licking that slightly cool spot with the tip of her tongue.

And all of this was, of course, seen by Ning Chanyue. Her sadness gradually dissipated, and she slowly frowned, saying to her, “Disgusting.”

Although she was being scolded, seeing that Ning Chanyue no longer seemed to care about that person, the smile in You Zhuoqing’s eyes deepened. She put her hand on Ning Chanyue’s leg again and said to her with full confidence, “Let her go, Ningning. But… even if you can’t let her go now, you’ll fall in love with me sooner or later.”

But her bold words made Ning Chanyue let out a sneer. She lowered her eyes and said to You Zhuoqing with certainty, “I’d like anyone but you, You Zhuoqing.”

You Zhuoqing shook her head with conviction. Just like Ning Chanyue had said before, she also said with certainty, “No, you will fall in love with me. We are very similar, don’t you think?”

Ning Chanyue scanned You Zhuoqing up and down. She seemed to be unable to hold back anymore and rolled her eyes at her, but she was too lazy to open her mouth to deny it again.

But despite looking like she was being disliked, You Zhuoqing still continued to speak, talking to herself, “We are a perfect match. Just like you, a few days ago, didn’t you suddenly appear downstairs at her house to find her, just like I’m doing now? I can understand your impulsiveness and emotionality, but can she? No. She’ll only drive you away. She’ll only watch your joys and sorrows with a cold eye, don’t you think? And we’re both honest about our feelings. If we like someone, we boldly say we like them. If we don’t, we say we don’t. But is she? No. She’ll just keep it all bottled up inside. We have so many other things in common, so we’re a perfect match. I felt this way the first time I saw you.”

You Zhuoqing babbled on and on. With every sentence she said, Ning Chanyue’s brows furrowed a little more. By the time You Zhuoqing finished, the corners of her mouth were already twitching a little. She looked at You Zhuoqing with great confusion.

After a long time, Ning Chanyue seemed to have finally processed You Zhuoqing’s words and said, “Being similar doesn’t mean you can be together. Just like you and I have been together for so long, but I just don’t like you. Isn’t that right?”

As soon as Ning Chanyue’s words fell, a gust of wind blew outside the window, clapping against the windowpane, as if it also agreed with Ning Chanyue’s point of view and was applauding her words.

“It’s getting windy.”

For a moment, You Zhuoqing didn’t answer Ning Chanyue’s words but looked out the window and said this.

But a few seconds later, You Zhuoqing’s gaze turned back to Ning Chanyue. Despite what she had just said, You Zhuoqing still looked at Ning Chanyue with determination. But if you looked down, you could see that You Zhuoqing’s cheeks were still a bl00d-red color, and as if she hadn’t slept well last night, there were a few red bl00d vessels in her eyes now.

But You Zhuoqing knelt like this in front of Ning Chanyue, ignoring her fatigue and pain at this moment. She stared at Ning Chanyue without blinking and said to her with sincerity, “But no matter what, I love you.” She doesn’t love you.

Her passionate and scorching love.
