This Scumbag Alpha Is a Little Sweet (GL) - Chapter 13

Under Ning Zishu’s “supervision,” Lin Yihan successfully completed her first thesis draft on time and without any issues.

And now, Ning Zishu planned to take Lin Yihan out to see her parents and let them know she was okay.

That day, when Lin Yihan’s pheromones went into a frenzy, it was an emergency. Ning Zishu had to run through the hospital hallway and ask a nurse for help. This led to all the patients and their families on the floor knowing about her partner’s pheromone problem. The news naturally reached her parents’ ears.

On the first day Lin Yihan was hospitalized, Ning Zishu was severely scolded over the phone by her parents. They repeatedly told her to take good care of Lin Yihan and never let something like this happen again.

More than a week had passed, and Ning Zishu’s parents were still very worried about Lin Yihan’s health. They called Ning Zishu many times to ask about her. Ning Zishu, feeling harassed and exhausted from being questioned, had to negotiate with Lin Yihan and let the perfectly healthy and energetic Lin Yihan meet her parents in the hospital.

So at this moment, Lin Yihan, sitting in the taxi, was naturally very nervous.

On one hand, this was her first time meeting her in-laws, and on the other hand, the uncle who was still lying in the hospital bed was actually run over by someone the original owner hired.

In short, she felt guilty. She felt very guilty right now.

Lin Yihan suspected that if she saw the two of them, she wouldn’t even be able to speak properly. She would be doing well if she didn’t stutter.

“Don’t worry, they like you very much.”

As soon as Ning Zishu saw Lin Yihan’s silent expression, she knew what she was thinking.

She was definitely feeling guilty about what the original Lin Yihan had done.

The person who had actually done those things was nowhere to be found, but this crybaby who was forced to become “Lin Yihan” was now feeling so guilty for someone else’s conspiracy.

Lin Yihan said she was a gentle big sister, but in reality, she was the gentle one.

“Um… mgh, bighh shishter, whah are you doingh?”

Lin Yihan, who had been feeling sullen, suddenly had her cheeks squeezed by Ning Zishu. Her features were squeezed together, and her gloomy expression was gone.

“If you show up with a face as long as a gourd, they’ll think I haven’t been taking good care of you.”

“Shhory…”

After kneading Lin Yihan’s face for a bit, Ning Zishu finally let go of her hands. She was a little nostalgic for the soft feeling.

Lin Yihan rubbed her face and pouted, thinking that Ning Zishu was really merciless. Her face must be red from being squeezed.

“Don’t think too much. Just say hi to them later,” Ning Zishu patted Lin Yihan’s thigh reassuringly. “We’ll leave soon. We can go shopping and get you some new clothes.”

“After all, you’re about to graduate. You can try to change your style a little.”

This was actually Ning Zishu’s selfish desire. She hated the clothes in the closet that belonged to the original Lin Yihan. She didn’t want to see them again.

She wanted to completely erase the traces of the “Lin Yihan” on Lin Yihan.

“What kind of clothes do you like?”

Facing Ning Zishu’s question, Lin Yihan’s eyes flickered. She was silent for a while before stammering, “Actually, I… I like cute clothes.”

The original owner’s clothes were mostly elegant and refined or simple and indifferent. Although Lin Yihan didn’t dislike them, she actually preferred cute clothes, like light-colored dresses with a more girlish style.

“Um, it’s because, I’m an Alpha, so I wanted to make myself look more mature…”

After thinking about it, Lin Yihan could only use this reason to try to explain why her preferences were different from the original owner’s.

But Lin Yihan knew how childish this excuse sounded, so her voice became weaker.

“Pfft, that’s something you would say.”

Ning Zishu was still wondering how Lin Yihan would explain it. When she heard that it was because she wanted to look more mature, she couldn’t help but laugh.

If the original Lin Yihan had said that, people would have thought she was telling a cold joke. But the current Lin Yihan had a soft or weak presence that made people feel that this was indeed something she would do.

“It’s okay to like cute things. Don’t worry about what others think. After all, your partner is me now. You only need to care about my opinion.”

“Don’t worry, you’re very cute this way. I like it very much.”

“…um, okay.”

With just a glance at the smiling Ning Zishu, Lin Yihan immediately looked away as if she had been electrocuted. A blush quietly crept up to her ears, turning them a bright red.

Lin Yihan was glad that her long hair was down today, so Ning Zishu wouldn’t notice.

Wuwu, big sister is so good at flirting. She couldn’t handle it. Being called cute and liked by a gentle and beautiful big sister…

She really couldn’t take it!

But it was impossible for her to tell Ning Zishu not to say such misleading things.

After all, they were partners now! A married couple in the eyes of the law!

Let alone saying she was cute and liked, if it weren’t for her physical condition, she and Ning Zishu would have already slept together!

Help, help me, she really can’t handle this.

Just as the little person inside Lin Yihan’s mind was constantly hitting the wall and rolling around on the floor, the taxi finally arrived at their destination.

“What bad timing. It started raining as soon as we got to the hospital.”

Noticing the light rain outside the window and how it was getting heavier, Lin Yihan frowned. This was not good weather for shopping.

Lin Yihan opened the car door first and held up the umbrella for Ning Zishu.

“Big sister, how about we don’t go clothes shopping today? It’s too much of a hassle to hold an umbrella in the rain.”

“I’m taking you out precisely because it’s raining,” Ning Zishu walked under the umbrella and closed the car door. “When it’s raining, it’s hard to smell other people’s pheromones, so it won’t affect your body.”

“Move closer; your shoulder is getting wet,” Ning Zishu took a half step toward Lin Yihan and put one arm around her shoulder. “What, are you afraid I’m going to eat you or something?”

“No, no, no.”

Although Lin Yihan had shared an umbrella with friends before, being embraced by Ning Zishu like this made her whole body stiffen.

Ning Zishu was not a classmate or a friend; she was her nominal wife and legal partner. Could the feeling be the same?

Fortunately, she was only half-embracing her, and there was no other intimate contact. Otherwise, Lin Yihan couldn’t guarantee she could remain calm.

No physical contact, girls can’t have physical contact!

As Lin Yihan remained silent on the outside but was screaming wildly on the inside, the two quickly walked into the inpatient building.

After closing the umbrella, Lin Yihan took the fruit basket from Ning Zishu and intentionally created some distance between them.

If she held things in both hands, there would be no chance of holding hands.

But Lin Yihan didn’t expect Ning Zishu to link her arm through hers and naturally take the fruit basket from her hands.

“We should act a little more intimate in front of my parents, right?”

“Mm-hmm, no problem.”

Lin Yihan now felt the same awkwardness as those people who pretended to be in a relationship to meet their partner’s parents.

And she couldn’t even tell anyone about this embarrassment, not even Ning Zishu.

After all, in Ning Zishu’s eyes, she was a newlywed wife who had been persistently pursuing her throughout college. Her reaction to meeting her in-laws should be shyness, not this goosebump-inducing awkwardness.

Lin Yihan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. At the same time, she adjusted her expression, trying to keep a smile on her face.

Ning Zishu had already been scolded by her parents many times because of her, which made her feel bad. No matter what, she couldn’t appear distant from Ning Zishu in front of them.

If she made Ning Zishu’s parents think their relationship had become cold after marriage, it would be a bad situation.

Although Lin Yihan wanted to divorce Ning Zishu, she didn’t want outsiders to think that Ning Zishu had treated her poorly, which was why their relationship had soured!

Ning Zishu could see all of Lin Yihan’s small movements clearly. She laughed inwardly. This child’s face was frozen in a smile.

“Wait a moment.”

“Huh?” Lin Yihan stopped and looked back at Ning Zishu in confusion.

If she remembered correctly, wasn’t Ning Zishu’s father’s hospital room right ahead?

“Yihan, your expression is very strange,” Ning Zishu pinched Lin Yihan’s face with her free hand. “Won’t your face get a muscle cramp from being so tense?”

Boom.

Ning Zishu’s words, laced with laughter, exploded like a bomb in Lin Yihan’s ears. She felt her face burning up. She didn’t even need a mirror to know that her face was as red as a monkey’s butt!

Oh my god, so embarrassing. Let her die. Let her disappear from here. Wuwu.

“Ahem, since you’re already here, what’s with the fruit basket? They haven’t even finished the one we brought last time.”

“Yihan said she couldn’t come empty-handed. Compared to useless flowers, a fruit basket is better.”

Faced with her mother’s words, who had suddenly appeared behind them with a steaming cup of water, Ning Zishu didn’t feel awkward about her and Lin Yihan’s current actions. Her hand hadn’t even let go of Lin Yihan’s cheek.

“H-h-hello, Auntie!”

Lin Yihan didn’t expect anyone to be watching them. She quickly separated from Ning Zishu and greeted the mother, who had suddenly appeared behind them.

“Xiao Lin, you didn’t have to bring anything. Let’s go inside. It’s not good to stand in the hallway.”

The mother had a cup of steaming water in her hand and a kind, teasing smile on her face, but this only made Lin Yihan more embarrassed.

This series of embarrassing moments made Lin Yihan’s brain short-circuit. With her mind in a daze, she forgot about the things that had been bothering her before. With a red face, she followed Ning Zishu into the hospital room and greeted the father, who was sitting in a wheelchair by the window.

“Hello, Uncle Ning. I’m sorry to have caused you and Auntie Jia to worry about my condition these past few days.”

“I have completely recovered, and there are no problems at all!”

“No need to be so nervous. Are you used to living with Xiao Shu?”

The father was a refined-looking middle-aged man with a thin frame and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. He gave Lin Yihan the feeling of a high school literature teacher.

Unfortunately, his left leg and right hand were in casts. He could only move around in a wheelchair and relied on his wife’s help to move freely.

“Um, big- ahem, Zishu takes very good care of me. We’re very happy living together.”

Although Lin Yihan quickly corrected herself, that unfinished “big sister” still reached the ears of both her parents. The smiles on their faces deepened slightly.

It seemed that the relationship between the two children had really gotten a lot closer.

The mother, with an even more genuine smile, waved for them to sit down. She naturally started chatting with the two of them, asking about their lives together, while the father smiled as he looked at them, especially Lin Yihan, his daughter-in-law.
