The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say gl - Chapter 5

“…”

How could that be possible? How could she have smelled Bai Shizhou’s pheromones? She and Bai Shizhou had only met twice.

Bai Shizhou’s family was in the pharmaceutical business and was a well-known enterprise in Yunhai City, so it was inevitable to run into him at social gatherings.

Fortunately, Bai Yue didn’t attend social gatherings often, so she hadn’t encountered him much.

Where on earth would she have smelled Bai Shizhou’s pheromones! She was innocent!

Seeing the expression on Bai Yue’s face, Chen Mengyi couldn’t help but laugh: “I know it’s impossible for you to have smelled them. I was just curious how Yueyue, who rarely steps out, would know something like that.”

If pressed, Bai Yue wouldn’t be able to answer, so to stop Chen Mengyi from asking further, she had no choice but to change the subject: “Then how did Mengyi know?”

Chen Mengyi backed away slightly, no longer invading Bai Yue’s personal space, which made Bai Yue breathe a sigh of relief. After sitting up straight, she heard Chen Mengyi say: “I’m quite sensitive to pheromones. When I attended a peer company’s press conference, I went to the lounge midway and smelled an Omega’s scent. But as far as I know, the only person who used it before me was Bai Shizhou. I became a little concerned, tested him out slightly, and then I knew.”

—So that’s how it was. Mengyi is really smart!

Bai Yue genuinely sighed in admiration. If it were her, she would probably have carelessly forgotten about it and wouldn’t have noticed who was in there before her.

She didn’t know that Chen Mengyi had withheld one sentence. In the so-called upper-class circles, including bosses, CEOs, and chairpersons, the vast majority were Alphas, and Omegas were extremely rare. A press conference isn’t a banquet, and people don’t bring dates, so Omegas at the conference were few and far between, apart from the organizers’ protocol staff.

But protocol staff wouldn’t use the lounge, which was why she was curious about the previous user. A casual inquiry yielded an unexpected answer. She had initially asked this question to find out which Omega was struggling in this circle just like her, but after learning it was Bai Shizhou, Chen Mengyi lost interest.

It was generally recognized that Omegas had a difficult time in these circles and were bound to endure much gossip and unfair treatment. Chen Mengyi herself had gone through this, so she was willing to help anyone in the same situation.

But Bai Shizhou? Forget it. He was a guy who was an Omega pretending to be an Alpha. He hadn’t endured any of the discrimination or unfair treatment that Omegas faced in the circle. By relying on the so-called title of an excellent Alpha, he had even gained many benefits.

Of course, he could argue that he did this for his own struggles, but his actions were a stain on Chen Mengyi and other struggling Omegas.

“Then what do you think of him as a person?”

Hearing Bai Yue’s question, Chen Mengyi already had the answer in her heart: she didn’t think much of him, and he should get lost as far away as possible. Chen Mengyi was about to answer this way, but a sudden alarm went off in her mind: Wait a minute, this is the first time Yueyue has asked me for my opinion on another Omega! What’s going on?

She looked at Bai Yue with her long, narrow phoenix eyes, studied her expression, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So her comment on Bai Shizhou became a little more objective and fair: “Putting aside the O-pretending-to-be-A part, he’s a decent person, individually. But honestly, I don’t like him.” The “not liking him” here was an evaluation as an Omega and as an independent person. His O-pretending-to-be-A was somewhat contemptible in Chen Mengyi’s eyes, but Chen Mengyi wouldn’t expose him.

Because Chen Mengyi was an Omega, she wouldn’t worsen another Omega’s situation. However, this was only true if he didn’t provoke her or Bai Yue. If there was even the slightest possibility of him harming Bai Yue, she wouldn’t let Bai Shizhou off the hook, even if it meant using a contemptible method like tearing off his mask.

Bai Yue leaned closer to Chen Mengyi and whispered, “I don’t like him either. He pretends to be an A. That’s so mean.”

Chen Mengyi smiled.

The car slowly drove back to the Bai family residence. This expansive, New Chinese-style building had become much quieter after the passing of its former owners. But for Bai Yue, it was truly the most suitable place to live. It was spacious, had all sorts of facilities, and had been modified over the years for Bai Yue, achieving the best possible accessibility within reason.

She could ride her electric wheelchair to any room she wanted and relax in the small outdoor garden. Unfortunately, the courtyard lawn where they first met was paved with concrete and leveled with the surrounding path after Bai Yue stumbled there that day, and then polished.

While Bai Yue wouldn’t fall there again, she had lost a nice spot for her daily outings.

This small area alone showed how much the Bai family valued Bai Yue’s movement. Other features, such as wheelchair-accessible elevators and smooth ramps everywhere, went without saying. Even the outdoor treehouse had a lift device with railings that could go straight up and down.

Therefore, neither Bai Yue nor Chen Mengyi planned to leave the Bai family residence.

Of course, for Chen Mengyi, it was only temporary. She was in control now, and the Bai family’s decor wasn’t to Bai Yue’s liking. She planned to find another location and build a new world for herself and Bai Yue. She didn’t like her marriage to Bai Yue, she didn’t like being betrothed as a child, and she especially didn’t like being called a child bride.

This was because Chen Mengyi genuinely believed that she and Bai Yue were in a relationship born of free will.

Yes, Chen Mengyi fell in love with Bai Yue based on her own will. She wasn’t chosen by Bai Yue’s two mothers and her own parents. The only thing that troubled Chen Mengyi was that Bai Yue didn’t seem to recognize her feelings yet. Chen Mengyi refused to believe Bai Yue didn’t like her; she must like her.

Besides, Bai Yue had no other choice besides her.

In moments like these, Chen Mengyi even felt a little grateful that Bai Yue was a cripple. That way, no one else but her could enter Bai Yue’s heart.

Bai Yue operated the electric wheelchair herself, skillfully pressing the gear shift. Yes, modern wheelchairs have gears. And when she pressed the gear shift, there was a voice announcement. Bai Yue listened to the familiar “First gear, Second gear,” and finally adjusted it to “Third gear.” At home, she liked to move at lightning speed.

Since this was the place she had been in since she was six, Bai Yue knew how to maneuver around even with her eyes closed. Fortunately, the arrangement of furniture in the house rarely changed to accommodate her. Outside, she would likely adjust it to a slow first gear.

Bai Yue made her way back to her room. Because of her leg condition, her bedroom was on the first floor and faced the sun. She could see the full sunlight every morning when she opened the curtains. Bai Yue arrived in the room first, and then Chen Mengyi followed.

Behind her was a tall, strong Alpha maid. Bai Yue’s maids were always of the same gender as her, but there were some things Chen Mengyi wanted to do herself. For example… massaging Bai Yue.

Bai Yue’s legs were not good, and long-term inactivity would lead to muscle atrophy. Maintaining their current condition relied entirely on medication, massage, acupuncture, and other methods. Therefore, Chen Mengyi also learned traditional Chinese therapeutic massage and acupuncture. She was uneasy about entrusting this to others, always afraid of hurting Bai Yue.

However, Bai Yue actually had no sensation in her lower limbs. Even if she used significant force or bruised the skin, she wouldn’t feel any pain.

With Chen Mengyi’s help, Bai Yue lay down on the bed. Chen Mengyi casually took off Bai Yue’s shoes and placed them aside. Initially, when Chen Mengyi did these things, Bai Yue was a bit uncomfortable and suggested the maids should do it, but Chen Mengyi insisted, saying she wanted to take care of Bai Yue.

From the age of eighteen, Chen Mengyi had been looking after Bai Yue, a span of eight full years. She attended to every detail, doing anything Chen Mengyi thought of. If Bai Yue hadn’t insisted that things like going to the bathroom really didn’t require Chen Mengyi’s help, she might have even directly assisted with that.

Bai Yue lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling and the light. The maid pushed the tool cart, the wheels making a soft rumbling sound on the floor, similar to Bai Yue’s wheelchair. The maid placed the wheelchair aside, then took out the items from the tool cart, tidied them up, and placed them on the table.

While the maid was organizing the tools, Chen Mengyi went to the bathroom to wash her hands thoroughly. When she came out, the maid had almost finished preparing the items.

Chen Mengyi waved her hand, telling the maid to leave first. After the maid left, she pulled up and tucked her skirt slightly, making it easier to move. This exposed a lot of her legs. She was already wearing a high-slit dress today, and now with it tucked up, her bright, fair thighs were right in front of Bai Yue’s eyes.

Bai Yue lay on the bed, her hands flat on her chest, and she closed her eyes immediately: Even though we’re childhood friends who grew up together, you can’t be like this!

Chen Mengyi saw her reaction and found it slightly amusing: This idiot.

But the most important thing now was to massage Bai Yue. Chen Mengyi picked up the hot water and towel prepared on the table. She dipped the towel into the basin, fully saturated it, and then wrung out a bit of the hot water before wiping Bai Yue’s legs.

Bai Yue genuinely felt her legs were unattractive, even ugly. No matter how much she took care of them, because she didn’t use her lower body, she had almost no muscle, and the flesh on her legs was quite loose. This made her self-conscious every time Chen Mengyi wiped her legs and gave her a massage, causing her to instinctively cover her eyes.

At these times, Chen Mengyi would say: “There’s nothing to be ashamed of. This condition is quite good, isn’t it?”
