Transmigrated into the Villainess Alpha Who Marked the Female Lead (GL) - Chapter 15
She would completely de-differentiate into an Omega or Beta, and only by receiving the comfort of Bai Yueli’s pheromones could she avoid this situation.
After leaving the office, Ji Ci remained immersed in Ji Liangying’s words, her brows tightly furrowed in frustration.
How could this happen…?
It was just one marking.
Given the circumstances, it wasn’t that she desperately wanted to maintain her Alpha identity.
She was occupying the original owner’s body. If she were to de-differentiate into an Omega or Beta due to the original owner’s constitution, she might even feel like it was less of a burden to participate in the plot. But if this outcome was because she was reverse-marked by Bai Yueli, then the blame fell on her.
Her body was given to her by another, and Ji Ci still couldn’t internally persuade herself to sit idly by. But what could she do? The solution could only rely on Bai Yueli.
Bai Yueli, the protagonist of this novel,
The person whose glands indirectly caused her death at the end.
If she truthfully told her what happened that night in the grove, she believed Bai Yueli would definitely offer help. But she had intervened in Bai Yueli’s affairs time and again, which was already an act against her principles that she couldn’t even fully fathom. How could she then allow their pheromones to interact?
What a headache…
Ugh, never mind.
Ji Liangying later said that the chance of de-differentiation wasn’t 100%, so she would take it one step at a time for now.
She walked past the restroom, washed her face, and felt much of her emo feelings wash away. Ji Ci gradually remembered that she had apparently told Bai Yueli to wait for her before she left.
She almost forgot about that.
Without thinking much, she quickly dashed back to the original hallway, but she didn’t see Bai Yueli until she ran back to the room where Bai family’s aunt was.
“…”
Ji Ci walked back, pondering where Bai Yueli might have gone.
Maybe she had already gone back…
“Xiao Ci.”
Just as she was thinking, a low, soft voice gently called her name.
Ji Ci turned her head towards the direction of the voice, her eyes lighting up.
At the stairwell, the girl walked towards her with delicate steps. The cool, white light spilling over her made her appear even fairer and more gentle.
She was only stunned for a moment, and then the dissipated emo returned like a sudden downpour. She found the person, but now she didn’t know how to face Bai Yueli, because her repeated interventions in Bai Yueli’s affairs had created unnecessary interactions, making her overlook that she and Bai Yueli,
Should have maintained their distance.
“You’re still here, Senior,” After a brief daze, Ji Ci forced a smile, calling her name without much enthusiasm.
Soon, Bai Yueli had walked up beside her, quietly responding with a “Hmm.”
A faint floral scent replaced the pervasive hospital disinfectant smell, filling Ji Ci’s nostrils. Ever since she was bitten by the other person, her nape would involuntarily throb whenever she was in close proximity, and this time, it was surprisingly in sync with her heartbeat.
“Come with me.” Bai Yueli brushed past her, her voice a soft breath beside her ear, sweet and alluring.
Her palm was suddenly filled with warmth, fingers intertwining with hers. The meeting of their palms felt solid and soft, while the interlocked knuckles were slightly bony.
Ji Ci was forced to follow behind her. By the time she snapped out of it, bright light shone at the doorway, different from the hospital’s lighting, dazzling and glaring.
“Senior, aren’t you going back to your aunt’s place?” Ji Ci asked her in surprise.
“No,” Bai Yueli said faintly, “Everything that needed to be said has been said.”
“Oh,” Ji Ci replied softly.
Suddenly, she glanced at their still clasped hands.
…Then where are you taking me?!
“Senior, Senior, where are we going?” After exiting the hospital, Ji Ci looked at the streetscape on both sides and finally voiced the question in her heart.
Before long, Bai Yueli had led her to a bus stop near the hospital.
Bo’ai Hospital was located in the city center, the largest hospital within a dozen miles. This bus stop had an unusually large number of bus routes, with routes filling both sides of the sign.
Bai Yueli looked over it from top to bottom.
“Xiao Ci, is there anywhere you want to go?” It should have been the end of the sentence, but she paused slightly, then continued with words that had been brewing for a long time and made her a little uncomfortable:
“Today, wherever you want to go, I’ll accompany you.”
“Huh?” Ji Ci turned into a walking question mark.
She had been bewildered too many times today.
“You should look in the mirror right now; your worries are written all over your face,” Bai Yueli looked at her, her voice full of tenderness. “Shall I accompany you to clear your mind?”
“Ah?” Ji Ci was stunned: “Am I?”
She was a bit emo, but was she really that bad at expression management?!!
Bai Yueli nodded.
A complex emotion flickered in her eyes. She said sincerely, “Believe in yourself. There’s no difficulty you can’t overcome.”
Because I’ll help you.
“Mmm…” Ji Ci sighed inwardly, her head tilted back mournfully as she gazed at the blue sky.
How to put it,
All her emo feelings were about her. Perhaps if she changed schools and stayed out of these plotlines, she wouldn’t be so troubled.
She also knew that the most correct thing to do right now was to avoid all contact with the main characters.
But…!
Now, with Bai Yueli looking at her so gently, those sincere and captivating eyes made it impossible for her, a small gay girl, to refuse…
Sorry, I’m dying right now, okay?
Ji Ci exhaled deeply, as if making a major decision, her troubled face instantly transforming into a smile.
“Alright, alright, Senior,” Ji Ci giggled, looking blankly at the bus stop sign, “But, I don’t know where to go either. Do you have any recommendations for fun places?”
Her naive expression as she scratched her head almost made Bai Yueli’s guilt completely vanish.
She chuckled softly, “Xiao Ci, what kind of places do you usually like to go?”
Ji Ci: “…Ah… this…”
This was another heavenly question.
She hadn’t had time to get familiar with this world yet. The only places she’d been recently were city sightseeing by bus near the school, and accompanying Grandma to the wet market to buy groceries.
Oh, hehe, were they going to the wet market to watch people slaughter chickens and fish?
“I usually stay home and read; I don’t go out much,” Ji Ci said naturally.
“Oh,” Bai Yueli nodded thoughtfully.
Ji Ci secretly peeked at her expression. She seemed to have already grasped her thoughts, and a pea-sized bead of sweat oozed from her forehead.
Great, she’d dug her own pit again.
“Senior,” Ji Ci said, self-deprecatingly, “Do you think I’m very stupid? I read every day, but I still score last in exams…”
“How could that be?” Bai Yueli gently rebuked her words. “There’s no such thing as stupid people. Not everyone’s talents are focused in one area. Some people’s talents just haven’t been shown at the current stage. Don’t underestimate yourself.”
Author’s Note:
A little known fact: Why does Jiang Yi call Bai Yueli “Big White Rabbit”?
Because her surname is Bai (白, white) and she belongs to the Year of the Rabbit.
