What to Do if You Mess With an Omega? - Chapter 31

What the live stream chat was saying, Ning Hanzhu had already stopped paying attention to it; her mind was full of all the little moments after she had met Xu Yuqing.

In the book, Omegas were mostly described as delicate and weak, like beautiful dodder flowers with extremely strong dependency.

But did Xu Yuqing, whether in appearance or temperament, have anything to do with that description? She had thought of how Xu Yuqing had faced people like Snake Bro and Yan Feipeng without batting an eye back then.

Was something wrong somewhere?

Ning Hanzhu could not figure it out no matter how much she thought about it, until the soup in the pot started bubbling and boiling, and only then did she remember that she was still live streaming.

Never mind that for now.

Whether Xu Yuqing was a Beta or an Omega, it seemed it would not affect the relationship between the two of them, and no one had stipulated that a creditor could not be a delicate and tender Omega.

After comforting herself like that, Ning Hanzhu lifted the lid off the pot; the white and translucent soup was rich and thick, the aroma of the pork ribs hit her nose, and the fresh sweetness of the corn made her mouth water.

Ning Hanzhu took two sips first; the interstellar corn had gone through countless improved versions, with large kernels like golden beads that crunched when chewed.

After she confirmed the flavor was very fresh and delicious, she saved the data first and uploaded fifty portions of the finished product.

[This new streamer is the one Miss Niya took a fancy to? Real or fake.jpg]

[All of you get out of the way, let this lady take a look.]

[Those hands are barely passable; why doesn’t the streamer show her face?]

[Show your face and I’ll give you ten deep-sea yachts; streamer, think about it, okay?]

After Ning Hanzhu finished uploading the quota of dishes for the day, she discovered that not only had the number of people in the live stream not decreased, but it was even more than before, and the barrage comments were even fiercer, dense and packed.

Then, just as she was about to end the live stream, the full screen burst with fireworks, and yachts sailed one after another in her live stream room as if money were no object.

She was stunned for a moment and realized that this eye-blinding light effect was from gifts; upon closer inspection, the one sending the gifts was none other than that Omega called Miss Niya from before.

Ning Hanzhu’s face went wooden.

Each yacht in the live stream cost five hundred, and Miss Niya had smashed in a hundred of them; for a new streamer, it was simply a pie falling from the sky.

Who would not say upon seeing it that this was love.

If it had been when she had just arrived on the capital star penniless, she definitely would have been so happy that she spun in circles on the spot, but now she only felt it was troublesome; returning the money was troublesome, and she would have to cover fifty percent out of her own pocket, while the platform’s fifty percent cut definitely would not be spit back out.

Although her wallet was currently bulging, it could not withstand this kind of spending.

She still had to raise a child, after all.

……

Luo Tianran had been in low spirits lately, so she came to inspect the industries under her hand and pick on the manager; this would make her mood a bit more pleasant.

“Every year it’s the same things; you’re not tired of them, but I’m tired of them. Couldn’t you come up with some new dishes? Look at what the star citizens think of us now; do I need to read the reviews to you?”

“Second Miss, calm down first; we have indeed been researching new dishes recently, but, but the big boss was not satisfied with the results, so I plan to hire a senior chef to bring in some fresh ideas.”

“Hm?”

Luo Tianran had come just to find fault, but she had not expected their ideas to align; she immediately perked up. “Do you have candidates?”

Seeing that she was not losing her temper like before, the manager quickly pulled up a few streamers she followed on the starnet and showed them off. “I’ve watched the live streams of these few; their skills are decent. The streamer we have the most interest in right now is this one.”

Luo Tianran glanced at her name. “Turtle孫, no guts, huh? This name makes me so angry just looking at it; this person seems a bit lacking.”

She clicked open a few of her streamed dishes. “Just these, nothing else; the data is too little. What’s so special about her?”

The manager nodded vigorously. “There is; Second Miss, don’t let the dishes she makes look ordinary at first glance—the flavor is exceptionally fresh and delicious. Sigh, tonight’s dish… oh no, how did it all sell out.”

The fifty portions of corn and pork rib soup had sold out in one second as soon as they were released.

Normally, the manager squatted in the live stream to grab them and even had people help grab; in the past, getting ten portions relied on luck, but today Luo Tianran had suddenly shown up, and in that split second he looked away, he regretted it so much that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Though she did not know what seizure the manager was having, from her years of business experience, this person’s live stream room had risen in popularity at an abnormal speed.

There was something to her.

She casually searched for the live stream room number and poked in, only to be flashed in the eyes by the gift lights. “This can’t be the wrong live stream room, can it?”

Food live stream? It was probably some celebrity’s live stream room.

She quickly backed out. “Alright, that’s it for today; this lady is tired, heading back home.”

The manager let out a breath of relief, but thinking of not having tasted tonight’s dish made his old face scrunch up, his mouth twist, and he nearly cried.

The next day, Luo Tianran invited Xu Yuqing out to play with her, but Xu Yuqing, considering that her heat period was about to arrive, politely declined her invitation.

But what kind of person was Luo Tianran; if the mountain would not come to her, she would go to the mountain.

Xu Yuqing saw her carrying big bags and small packages full of food, with not a single guardian behind her—not even Yang Xiu, who usually stuck close. “This is too reckless; aren’t you afraid your heat period might come early too?”

Luo Tianran directly pushed the door open a bit and bent down to slip under Xu Yuqing’s arm. “I’m not afraid; I have so many guardians around me. If my heat period really comes early, I’ll just pick one from them.”

Xu Yuqing, “…”

Whatever.

Luo Tianran placed the gifts she brought to the side, then noticed a subtle change in the room, very faint. “You plan to get through the heat period alone like this? Sister Xu, are you really not considering it?”

Xu Yuqing furrowed her brow.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Luo Tianran immediately pinched her own mouth and stiffly changed the subject. “By the way, have you been in touch with that one lately, you know, the Alpha who came from the garbage star.”

Xu Yuqing could not help correcting her. “That place is called Elfa Star, and she did not belong there to begin with; she is a Ning family member.”

She nodded like pounding garlic. “Yes, yes, yes; whether it’s Elfa Star or the Ning family, my Sister Xu, you’ve done so much for her—does she know?”

Xu Yuqing propped her head up. “She does not need to know.”

Luo Tianran copied her and lounged lazily on the sofa. “Sister Xu, even if you do not need those people to be your guardians, you always need an Alpha. Do not say you do not need one; it’s not like I have not gone through a heat period myself.”

Xu Yuqing did not know why, but she suddenly thought of Ning Hanzhu covering her lips in a stunned daze—kind of cute, and very silly. If it had to be an Alpha…

“We will talk about it when the time comes.”

Hm?

This was giving in.

Normally, when this topic came up, they always parted on bad terms.

“By the way, how is your big brother’s situation?”

“The king bug’s poison is truly the most potent one I have ever seen, but my brother’s condition is still under control for now; who knows about the future.” Luo Tianran got a terrible headache just thinking of her brother going mad at home.

“Sister Xu, do you think there will be an antidote that suppresses the poison in the king bug?”

“There will be; there definitely will.”

Luo Tianran also felt that anything was possible, so she quickly threw the matter to the back of her mind. Instead, seeing that the time was about right, she opened the live stream room.

“Lately, Old Wu has his eye on several food streamers and wants to poach them to the shop. You know, this method seems pretty good. Sister Xu, was it your suggestion?”

“Yes.”

Xu Yuqing did not want to say that she had gotten the inspiration from Ning Hanzhu; Ning Hanzhu always liked to tinker with ingredients that others scorned, even turning waste into treasure and taking a different path, which made her think that Yijiansheye needed some changes too.

“Then let us take a look at the new streamer Old Wu has his eye on together.”

“Okay.”

It was just to pass the time anyway.

While this streamer had not started yet, Xu Yuqing rummaged through the fridge; food filled the entire fridge—she had prepared it for the heat period. Once the food in the fridge ran low, the smart system would immediately restock it. She looked, but had not the slightest appetite.

“Tianran, what do you want to eat?”

“Anything is fine for me.”

As Luo Tianran’s tongue tip swept over her lips, she suddenly said, “Sister Xu, I suddenly feel like eating those thorny shrimp from last time. Do you want some? How about we order two portions to try.”

It was fine if she did not mention it, but once she did, that spicy aroma seemed to waft over.

Xu Yuqing thought this idea was excellent and immediately messaged the manager at Yijiansheye. Then the two nestled on the sofa, munching on snacks while waiting for delivery.

The live stream started.

Xu Yuqing heard the doorbell and went to open the door to get the delivery.

The delivered thorny shrimp had all been carefully processed; not to mention the shells—even the veins on the shrimp backs had been cleaned spotlessly. Each one, white with a hint of red, curled in the plate and looked very appetizing.

Luo Tianran’s dog nose caught the aroma and she came over; without even picking up chopsticks, she first sneaked one. “Delicious; almost missed out on this treat.”

“What’s wrong, Sister Xu.”

“I just feel like the flavor is not as good as last time.”

“??”

Luo Tianran tried a few more. “I think it’s the same; last time it was also the buffet arranged by Old Wu. It’s not like he secretly changed the recipe.”

Xu Yuqing did not dwell on it too much; lately she often felt without appetite, probably because her heat period was approaching.

The two turned their attention back to the live stream room; in this short while, the streamer had already thrown the quota of ingredients for the day into the pot and started stir-frying.

“Huh, this place looks a bit familiar; it seems like I have seen it somewhere.”

“……”

Of course it looked familiar.

It was the villa she had transferred to her back then.

Xu Yuqing recognized it as soon as she saw the background panel in the live stream room—the same position, the same kitchen utensils, even the mole on that hand was in the exact same spot.

She had remotely watched Ning Hanzhu cook in that spot before, so she recognized it at a glance; in her heart, she was also full of amazement.

If Luo Tianran had not insisted on pulling her to watch the live stream today, she might not have known that Ning Hanzhu had been busy with live streaming all along.

She really did not understand her enough after all.

Luo Tianran was stunned when she saw the ingredients the streamer was stir-frying. “Is this stuff edible?”

The star friends in the live stream room also raised the same doubts one after another. The old fans who had always squatted in the live stream were relatively calm; after all, every time the streamer used ingredients, they would make people collapse and question, but in the end, not once had they not been proven wrong.

So they were very calm.

They sat and waited for the new friends entering the live stream room to get slapped in the face repeatedly.

Xu Yuqing said in a confident tone, “It is edible; the flavor will be very delicious, and it will leave you craving more once you taste it.”

She had already witnessed Ning Hanzhu’s magical hands that could turn waste into treasure. “Have Old Wu prepare a new contract and get in touch with her.”

Luo Tianran, “??”

Was this not a bit too hasty?
