After Agreeing to Go on a Parenting Show With My Omega Ex-Girlfriend – Chapter 43

Peacock Unfurling its Screen¹

Yu Luo woke up to the chirping of the little birds outside the window, wanting to turn over in a daze.

But she was tightly wrapped by a pair of hands around her waist.

She paused, taking a moment before gradually waking up.

Opening her eyes, she found that Qi Song was hugging her entirely like a large dog, her head still stickily buried in the crook of her neck.

The corners of Yu Luo’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a gentle smile. She raised her hand and lightly stroked Qi Song’s soft, long hair, lingering in this tenderness for a while.

Just like countless mornings in the past.

Her gaze gradually drifted, carrying a bit of nostalgia or something else.

After an unknown amount of time, Taotao on the other side also woke up, slowly rubbing over like a fluffy little animal, and lying on Yu Luo’s back.

Being warmly pressed against both in front and behind made an indescribable happiness suddenly rise in Yu Luo’s heart.

This warmth was all that she wanted to protect.

Qi Song had always been the earliest to wake, but last night she lacked sleep due to some secret matters of the heart.

Yu Luo saw the slight bluish-black under her eyes and guessed she must have sobered up from the alcohol in the middle of the night, so she didn’t wake her. She first took Taotao to get up and wash, and went downstairs to move around a bit.

Qi Song only got up half an hour later.

Yu Luo looked up from the sofa and saw the young woman walking this way, her heart beginning to leisurely guess her reaction to last night—

Would she be stubborn-mouthed like before, treating those candid words as just drunken nonsense, or would she simply pretend to have had a blackout?

In any case, whichever it was, right now she should be putting on a cold and indifferent appearance as if she didn’t care at all.

But she saw Qi Song lower her eyes and meet her gaze for a moment, her eyelashes trembling uncomfortably, and immediately retract her line of sight.

Immediately after, she couldn’t help but look at her again.

Within those eyes, there seemed to be surging a somewhat green yet scorching emotion.

Yu Luo’s heart was moved.

Qi Song’s unexpected reaction made her suddenly find it interesting.

She reached out her hand to Qi Song to hold, and saw Qi Song take it with a normal expression, but the moment their ten fingers interlocked, her whole body seemed to go weak in the hands and feet for an instant, and her ears also clearly turned pink.

“What’s the matter?”

Yu Luo was somewhat amused, and deliberately whispered in her ear:

“You were kissing me like that last night, and now you’re blushing just from holding hands?”

Qi Song’s ears burned even hotter.

When the woman spoke, a wave of heat sprayed onto her earlobe. It wasn’t the first time, yet it caused an unprecedented tremor in her heart.

So this is what it feels like to be self-aware of one’s feelings.

Just one look at Yu Luo and my heart is like a little deer ramming about recklessly, even holding hands makes half my body feel numb, and getting closer is an unbearable palpitation.

She had been deceiving herself for too long before, and now she had parted the clouds to see the sun². Thus, those obscure and restrained feelings were now clamoring openly and honorably in her heart, stirring up surging waves.

This feeling was extremely unfamiliar yet extremely familiar, all mixed up together, making it somewhat difficult for her to control herself.

Like a belated adolescence, the first strong stroke of color on a blank sheet of paper.

She had originally wanted to control it.

But she tried hard for a long time last night, and in the end, all her thoughts were just pushed aside by her feelings of affection, finding it completely difficult to resist this feeling.

Qi Song thought of some of the book transmigration novels she had read before—

The female protagonist would often transmigrate into an outrageously scum Alpha, and afterwards, she would wash the heart and change the face³, making everyone around her rub their eyes and look again. Furthermore, the Omega who had been deeply hurt by the original owner would fall for that sudden tenderness, which was especially precious in comparison to the past.

If only the original owner she had soul-transmigrated into was also that kind of scum A. That way, she could occupy this body without any burden and love Yu Luo without reservation.

However, she had transmigrated into someone who was mutually in love with Yu Luo. Although she didn’t know why they broke up, it was clear that both the original owner and Yu Luo had old feelings for each other that were hard to forget.

What should be done?

Qi Song thought she would be caught in a dilemma, but she strangely and quickly figured it out.

She had never liked to fight or snatch things since she was young. When she was homeless on the streets, she often went hungry because she couldn’t fight for that bite of food, and later in her studies and work, she didn’t like to be in the limelight.

However, this time, she inexplicably had the desire to strive for something, and it was so strong that she herself felt it was unfamiliar.

If she rashly rejected and distanced herself from Yu Luo due to the current situation, then both of them would definitely be in pain and get hurt. But if she faced it frankly, perhaps there could be a different ending—in any case, things couldn’t get any worse.

The master’s little dog has already gone missing, but the rest of life is still so long, why can’t there be a new little dog to accompany her? Qi Song felt that she wouldn’t do worse than the original owner.

She couldn’t despicably deceive Yu Luo and possess her feelings for the original owner; nor could she immediately say that she was a book transmigrator, lest she scare the other party. It would be better to take it slow, at least first let Yu Luo distinguish between the current her and the past her, and then further consider whether to be completely frank.

If Yu Luo felt sad and uncomfortable because of her changes, then she would give up this struggle—this would mean that Yu Luo was completely unable to accept her.

Overall, she had to try to dig the original owner’s wall corner⁴ on the premise of taking care of Yu Luo’s emotions.

So the corruption of morals will only have zero times or countless times, Qi Song thought in a daze.

First, she fell in love with the other party under the mistaken belief that Yu Luo was a scum woman, and now she had to dig someone else’s wall corner.

She no longer dared to pride herself on having any A-morality.

The inn’s breakfast wasn’t ready yet, and everyone was waiting in the living room.

Xiao Hua’s gaze swept over Yu Luo’s ear, and she casually asked in a carefree manner: “Teacher Yu, is your ear having an allergic reaction?”

Yu Luo was slightly startled, remembering that she had actually forgotten to remind the makeup artist to put makeup on her ear just now.

Just as she was about to go along with Xiao Hua’s words and use the excuse of an “allergic reaction,” she heard her own witty cub answer in a milky, childish voice:

“Mommy said, that was bitten by a little dog.”

As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell into a subtle silence.

They were all adults, what was there not to understand?

Amidst everyone’s you guys are really playing wild gazes, Yu Luo’s cool and elegant face remained as calm and composed as ever, but her cheeks grew hot, and she couldn’t help but squeeze Qi Song’s hand.

Apart from when she was teasing Qi Song, she was actually quite thin-skinned.

Qi Song subconsciously glanced at Yu Luo’s ear; last night’s passion had already turned into a dark red mark on the jade-white skin.

A flame flickered secretly somewhere in her heart.

She steadied her mind, her gaze seemingly unintentionally pausing on Ren Zhi and Xiao Hua, and said: “I remember last time some people left their cub with us, just for the sake of……”

This sentence’s effect was to stand a pole and see its shadow⁵. Xiao Hua immediately spoke up: “Ah haha, Teacher Yu probably just doesn’t want the cub to worry. It still looks a bit like an allergic reaction, you should pay more attention to resting these few days.”

Ren Zhi hurriedly chimed in: “Yes, yes, it’s probably that the water and soil do not agree⁶.”

Li Zhen’s family was completely bewildered, not knowing what kind of secret clash these three families had.

Yu Luo had intended to go back to her room alone to touch up her makeup, but two clingy tails still followed behind her.

While she and the makeup artist were discussing in front of the mirror, there was a knock on the door.

Qi Song went to open the door and received a thin sutra.

She looked at Ren Zhi, not understanding, and asked: “What is this?”

“Sutra of a Pure Heart”⁷.

Ren Zhi winked at her and said to her like a good sister: “I just happened to buy an extra copy, I’ll share it with you, maybe one day it’ll come in handy.”

Before Qi Song could refuse, Ren Zhi patted her on the shoulder, and then turned around briskly.

She left with the dashing air of “After the deed is done, flicking one’s sleeves and leaving, deeply hiding one’s merit and fame”⁸.

Qi Song couldn’t help but sigh as she casually flipped through the sutra, how could I possibly need this.

She looked back at Yu Luo, and unconcernedly pressed this sutra into the very bottom of her suitcase.

When they went downstairs again, the inn’s breakfast was already ready.

After everyone had eaten, they sat around chatting. Yu Luo casually picked up a peach from the fruit platter and slowly peeled it with a fruit knife.

That slender, fair, and beautiful hand held the light pink peach, and as it turned to peel the skin, abundant juice would flow down the delicate skin, carrying a bit of moist beauty.

Qi Song subconsciously stared at this scene, her heartbeat unknowingly accelerating.

She always felt that this scene was very familiar, easily stirring a certain deep warmth in her heart. It was as if this matter occupied a very important place in her life.

But, this was just peeling a peach.

The peach juice had already flowed to the woman’s delicate wrist.

Qi Song pulled out a paper towel and carefully wiped it for her, then heard Yu Luo suddenly whisper in her ear: “You didn’t use to wipe it before.”

Qi Song’s hand movement paused.

“You used to…” The woman’s gaze floated lightly over her lips for an instant, making Qi Song’s hand tremble.

The original owner and Yu Luo seem to be very skilled, with many tricks when it comes to intimacy.

But, I don’t know anything.

Will Yu Luo dislike my innocence, and prefer someone like the original owner?

A sense of crisis instantly arose in Qi Song. Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared, should I go and learn a thing or two?

Yu Luo observed Qi Song without a change in expression.

After this person woke up today, her whole body seems to be emitting pink bubbles, and just one look at me makes her ears red for a long time.

And the last time Qi Song’s attitude towards me changed was after the susceptible period.

It seems that every physical intimacy has pushed Qi Song’s enlightenment, letting me understand—

A wooden fish head⁹ perhaps isn’t awakened by knocking.

In the world of adults, it’s all done through seduction.

Both sides held their own unspeakable thoughts, yet on the surface, they were prim and proper, one peeling a peach, the other helping to wipe her hands.

After peeling, Yu Luo skillfully cut the peach into chunks.

Although this peach was juicy, it was actually a crisp peach.

Qi Song remembered the ID of all the original owner’s accounts—Crispy Peach Eaten in Chunks.

She belatedly realized, could peaches be a symbol of some deep meaning between the original owner and Yu Luo? Even Yu Feng’s nickname was Taotao.

In the overflowing sourness, and in the plan to make Yu Luo distinguish between her and the original owner, Qi Song steeled her resolve: she would not eat this peach.

Her favorite fruits were peaches and mangoes, but from this moment on, it would temporarily become only mangoes.

So when Yu Luo pushed that plate of peaches towards her, Qi Song gently shook her head: “You and the cub can eat it.”

Yu Luo was slightly startled and subconsciously asked: “Aren’t peaches your favorite?”

“I don’t like them, what I like to eat now are mangoes.” Qi Song’s face was calm, but her heart was in suspense.

Discovering the difference between her and the 「Qi Song」 she’s familiar with, what will her reaction be?

But she saw no change in Yu Luo’s expression on the surface. She just gently curved the corner of her lips and nodded: “Is that so.”

After that, she didn’t ask or persuade anymore, using a toothpick to poke and eat with Taotao, and also shared with the nearby guests.

Qi Song pursed her lips slightly.

I actually really do love peaches the most. If I had to compare in my heart, mangoes can’t compare to peaches. Moreover, this was peeled by Yu Luo.

But for the sake of that shameful thought of coveting Yu Luo, I can only restrain myself with forbearance.

Then she saw Yu Luo poke a piece of peach and suddenly bring it to her lips.

Her lips were stained with sweetness, and Qi Song raised her eyes to look at Yu Luo.

She saw the woman raise her eyebrows slightly, a hint of a smile floating in her eyes, and said slowly:

“I worked so hard peeling for half a day, so even if you don’t like it, you must eat a piece for me.”

The peach was already ripe, and chewing it filled her mouth with a clear sweetness.

Qi Song suspected that Yu Luo didn’t believe her words from just now at all.

She was just silently indulging her, and silently taking care of her desires.

Realizing this, a spot in Qi Song’s heart instantly caved in, and a soft itch and sweetness spread.

Would anyone not like Yu Luo?

My affection seems to be just a mistake that ordinary people would make, so it’s excusable to want to win over Yu Luo.

During the interval when the program team had not yet announced the task, Qi Song, having nothing to do, contacted the original owner’s friend, Shen Han¹⁰.

The main purpose was to ask what the original owner was good at. Winning someone over shouldn’t be about begging for the other person’s pity, but about showcasing oneself.

Since the original owner was better than her at something, she also had to work hard on things the original owner was not good at.

As a result, after some probing, the original owner was actually good at quite a lot of things, and paid great attention to cultivating her interests and hobbies.

But coincidentally, everything the original owner could do, she could also do, and some things the original owner couldn’t do, she could also do.

Qi Song felt a bit surprised by this coincidence.

She temporarily put this matter aside, pondering in her heart how to show Yu Luo the differences between herself and the original owner, using this gentle method to let Yu Luo gradually discover that she was different from before.

While thinking, she also felt a little uncomfortable.

For someone who usually didn’t like to be in the limelight to suddenly need to showcase herself for the sake of a relationship, it was somewhat embarrassing.

“Mommy took me to the zoo the day before yesterday, that peacock, with a hua la sound, just unfurled its screen, it was very beautiful!”

Beside them, Xiao Hua’s daughter was vividly sharing her experience of going to the zoo the day before yesterday with Taotao and Youyou.

That tender voice drifted into her ears, making Qi Song’s heart tremble.

Her cheeks suddenly grew hot, and that heat quickly spread to the roots of her ears and her neck.

Someone had very carelessly, taken her seat according to the number¹¹.
