After Agreeing to Go on a Parenting Show With My Omega Ex-Girlfriend – Chapter 86

The moment you open your eyes, I’ll kiss you.

As a top domestic university, B University’s centennial promotional video garnered considerable attention online after its release.

And as the star of the promotional video, Qi Song also had a brief moment of fame on the hot search for her outstanding looks.

At that time, the famous Director Li, who was selecting a protagonist for his new drama, actually extended an olive branch to her, inviting her to audition.

That day, she and Director Li had a very pleasant conversation.

In a life where she studied hard on one hand and developed her acting career on the other, with all remaining time spent thinking about Yu Luo, Qi Song felt fulfilled and content.

Heaven had closed the door on her differentiation, but it placed no obstacles in other aspects of her life.

When she won the Best Newcomer award for Director Li’s drama and became the youngest TV Queen in the country, she mentioned Yu Luo in public for the first time.

“The actress I admire most is Teacher Yu Luo; she guided me on my path in acting.” Under the brilliant lights, with tens of thousands of eyes on her, she piously spoke the name of her beloved.

“Have you not met Teacher Yu yet?” the host asked with a smile.

Qi Song’s fingers tightened on the microphone.

Jiejie.

These two words rested on the tip of her tongue, sweetly entwining in her heart.

Memories of her passionate night with Yu Luo, lasting deep into the night, still evoked an endless aftertaste in her mind. She lowered her eyes, her expression upright and regretful:

“I hope to have the chance to meet her.”

The host felt a sense of pity and comforted her:

“There will always be a chance.”

The night she received the award, Qi Song saw a news report stating that she and Yu Luo were the youngest and brightest pearls of the television and film industries, respectively.

Even though the news agency wasn’t authoritative and the content was somewhat subjective, she looked at the report and happily entertained herself for a long while.

For this fleeting feeling of standing shoulder to shoulder, she had waited and worked for too long.

Yu Luo came out of the bathroom and saw Qi Song staring at her phone with the corners of her lips turned up. She couldn’t help but tease, “What is our newly-crowned TV Queen looking at?”

She sat over and looked at the phone with Qi Song. Several consecutive news items were all reports about the “youngest TV Queen.”

A gratified smile rippled in Yu Luo’s eyes. She was about to speak when she paused slightly as the next news item came into view.

It was a report about the “Scent-Inducing Factor.”

Regarding this cunning and mysterious substance, “Scent-Inducing Factor,” relevant scientific researchers had been continuously studying its properties and side effects, but there had been little progress.

And this particular news report was about a male Omega who had a miscarriage for no reason during his pregnancy. This male Omega had previously been injected with the “Scent-Inducing Factor,” had always been in good health with normal and stable indicators, yet suddenly miscarried without any accident. Researchers, combining this with several similar cases, speculated that the “Scent-Inducing Factor” could affect pregnancy.

But at the end of the news, the reporter added: Due to a case where someone was injected with the “Scent-Inducing Factor” but successfully conceived and gave birth to a daughter, this speculation is still inconclusive.

After reading it, Yu Luo swiped past it indifferently, but Qi Song said, “Wait, I want to look at it again.”

Yu Luo paused slightly, “Hm?”

Qi Song said, “That time you had a high fever, the doctor said it was impossible for you to have been unconscious for so long, and there were inexplicable abnormalities in the report. Could it be because of the ‘Scent-Inducing Factor’?”

Faced with something that even cutting-edge researchers hadn’t figured out, they could only be helpless.

Yu Luo finally shook her head: “Don’t worry. I’ve been fine all these years since the injection.”

“Look, I get sick much less than before now.” Yu Luo stroked her head and said gently, “It’s all thanks to you.”

Besides, it was impossible for her to get pregnant, so the speculation in this news that the “Scent-Inducing Factor” affects pregnancy had nothing to do with her.

Seeing the lingering worry still in Qi Song’s eyes, Yu Luo raised her hand and slowly pulled open the belt of her bathrobe.

The collar loosened a bit, lazily revealing a collarbone as white and smooth as jade.

She beckoned to the young woman with her finger, her beautiful eyes shimmering. Her clear, cold voice was steeped in an ambiguous tone, giving it a somewhat intoxicating warmth: “Come here, little TV Queen, Jiejie will reward you.”

Qi Song was pulled into a deep, sinking sea by Yu Luo, unable to think any further.

Besides, the man from Qi worrying about the sky¹ was the most unnecessary thing to begin with, so that news report was naturally and hastily tossed to the back of her mind.

---

The entertainment circle is a filthy place. The longer she stayed, the more Qi Song came to understand this.

The supporting actor in the new drama, Lin Sheng², was a young Alpha from a very wealthy family who was only in the entertainment industry for amusement.

That day, after a cast and crew dinner, they went to KTV together. Qi Song didn’t want to be a lone wolf, so she went along.

She wasn’t used to the noisy atmosphere, so after sitting for a short while, she went out for some fresh air, wanting to call Yu Luo.

Just then, she bumped into Lin Sheng fooling around with two women in a dark corner of the hallway, their clothes in disarray.

Having never seen such a ridiculous scene, Qi Song was stunned for a moment.

Amused by her overly righteous and bewildered expression, Lin Sheng broke free from hugging one on the left, carrying one on the right³ and lifted her chin towards Qi Song:

“Never played before? I can teach you. It’s a lot of fun.”

“Don’t waste your Alpha gender,” Lin Sheng induced meaningfully.

Qi Song’s brows furrowed in confusion: “Alpha gender?”

“Yup.” Lin Sheng smiled carelessly, “Looks like a 20-year-old kid like you really doesn’t understand anything. What a waste of this pretty face and figure.”

“As an Alpha, when you release your pheromones at an Omega, you can easily suppress and conquer them, and you can also mark and possess them at will. The attraction of an Omega’s pheromones to you is also intense and fatal, allowing you to get excited quickly and indulge in pleasure to your heart’s content.”

“Although a Beta’s pheromones don’t have that kind of seductive effect, marking their gland has its own unique flavor.”

Lin Sheng stretched her limbs lazily, “It’s hard to imagine what it was like many years ago when people hadn’t evolved into the ABO gender model. It must have been so boring.”

Qi Song found her words utterly incomprehensible. Looking at Lin Sheng’s matter-of-fact expression, she realized that it wasn’t just Lin Sheng; this entire world had always been quite absurd.

Some people mocked her for being unable to differentiate, calling her a “regressive” who couldn’t keep up with the era’s gender model development. But when it came to love, she felt that those dominated by the ABO gender model were the ones who had regressed.

She didn’t understand the irresistible desire brought on by pheromonal attraction that everyone talked about, didn’t understand if biting another person’s gland and injecting her own pheromones would truly bring the pleasure of possession, and understood even less why people with highly compatible pheromones could always be like sky thunder hooking earth fire⁴.

She was completely clueless, a square peg in a round hole, because she was just an ordinary person.

Her love for Yu Luo was simply the arc of her hair as she turned, the gentleness of her raised brow and faint smile, the exceptionally quiet fragrance on her warm, delicate skin, and the secret, vivid pulse at her neck.

So simple and ordinary, yet so magnificent to her.

Unrelated to physiological instinct, she was tamed by Yu Luo in such a pure way, and by nature, could only be tamed in this way.

To her, this love was as pure as a flower blooming in the fine snow of a high mountain, and her flaw of being unable to differentiate was the most natural and powerful proof of this purity.

For this, she willingly accepted her flaw.

This was Yu Luo’s most complete and unique healing for her.

Qi Song walked out of the KTV, her heart itching with longing for Yu Luo. She stood by the street, holding her phone and calling her.

The call was quickly answered, and the woman’s clear, cold voice came through the phone: “Hello?”

Just hearing her voice made Qi Song’s eyes curve into a smile.

She looked up at the clear, bright moon, “Jiejie, would you raise a little dog with no tail?”

“Hmm…” Yu Luo said, “It would depend on what the little dog’s name is.”

“If her name is Qi Song, she can be tailless and not fluffy,” Yu Luo said slowly. “As long as she obediently stays by my side, that’s all that matters.”

Qi Song didn’t speak immediately.

The bright white moonlight shone on the young woman’s beautiful face, melting the happiness that suffused her eyes.

For a little dog, perhaps a home is all it seeks in life.

And she was very lucky. She had already found hers at a very young age.

Therefore, she would never have to wander.

---

“Your medical report this time shows trace amounts of Alpha hormones in your body…”

“The results of the second check-up are unchanged. You might be about to differentiate. Come back for a follow-up when you have time.”

The day she finished her follow-up, Qi Song returned to the car from the hospital. She held her phone, typing and deleting in the only pinned chat window in her WeChat.

Although the results of the follow-up weren’t out yet, she was very nervous.

In her youth, she had desperately longed to differentiate, so she wouldn’t be abandoned by her family or discriminated against by others.

But now, her thinking had changed.

Even if becoming a real Alpha would make it easier to survive in this society, without having to worry about someone discovering her secret identity as an ordinary person, she was unwilling to differentiate.

—As an ordinary person, she couldn’t smell pheromones, which gave Yu Luo, who was self-conscious about her own pheromone scent, a natural sense of security.

She hoped to always make Yu Luo feel completely safe.

After hesitating for a long while, Qi Song ultimately chose not to tell Yu Luo about this for the time being. What if the follow-up results turned out to be a misdiagnosis?

But whether it was a psychological effect or something else, during their lovemaking that night, Qi Song faintly felt an impulse to bite Yu Luo’s gland.

Just like an Alpha longs to mark their Omega.

She was terrified by that momentary impulse and suddenly stopped.

Yu Luo was lying on the pillow, panting. She turned her head and asked with an unsteady voice, “What’s wrong?”

“I… I just wanted to bite your gland.” Qi Song’s damp fingers curled up helplessly as she confessed in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”

An Omega’s gland is sensitive, and being bitten produces intense pleasure. Qi Song would usually please Yu Luo this way, but she could always maintain a force that wouldn’t break the skin.

Today, however, it seemed a little uncontrollable.

After she spoke, her already rapid heartbeat pounded painfully against her chest, worried that Yu Luo would be afraid of her because of this.

Yu Luo was silent for a few seconds, then slowly turned over beneath her.

Seeing the obvious self-blame and lingering fear on the young woman’s flushed, still-desirous face, she couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback.

“Is something on your mind?” She raised her hand and gently hooked it around the back of Qi Song’s neck. “Come here, let Jiejie hold you.”

Qi Song said nothing, listlessly snuggling into her embrace. Seeing her looking so pitiful made Yu Luo’s heart soften again and again.

She stroked the top of the person’s head in her arms. “If you want to bite, then just bite. Why suddenly say sorry?”

Between them, there was clearly never a need for words like “thank you” or “I’m sorry.”

“Jiejie…” In the scent she was most attached to, Qi Song gradually relaxed.

She had never been able to hide things from Yu Luo, and at this moment, she couldn’t help but want to confess.

So she asked tentatively, “What if I suddenly differentiate one day?”

Yu Luo’s fingers habitually stroked Qi Song’s soft, long hair. Even though she knew the possibility was minuscule, she still thought about it seriously before answering:

“If I have to say, it would probably be that your life would be a bit safer.”

You wouldn’t have to worry about being exposed as an ordinary person one day, which could shake your career.

Qi Song was slightly taken aback, but then she wasn’t surprised.

As expected, Yu Luo only considered this issue from her perspective first, without thinking about herself.

Gentleness rippled in her eyes. She nuzzled against Yu Luo’s neck like a little beast and reminded her in a small voice, “I don’t care about those things. I just want to know how you feel about it.”

Yu Luo understood the point Qi Song was concerned about.

She stroked Qi Song’s ear and said softly, “It makes no difference. Qi Song, you are very cute as an ordinary person, and if you differentiate, you will surely be very cute too. In my eyes, your gender has always been insignificant.”

“I know the worries in your heart… I believe you won’t despise me because of my pheromone scent, but everyone wants to present their best side to their beloved, and I am no exception.”

“So if that day comes, you just need to give me a little more patience.”

Don’t be in a hurry to smell my pheromones or mark me.

Yu Luo said in a relaxed tone, “And you have always been very patient with me, more considerate of me than I am of myself, so I have no worries.”

Under Yu Luo’s slow and methodical reassurance, Qi Song gradually set her mind at ease.

“My recent medical report showed trace amounts of Alpha hormones in my body, and the doctor said there’s a possibility of differentiation,” she confessed. “So I went for a follow-up this morning. The results aren’t out yet.”

Yu Luo lowered her head and kissed her cheek. “No matter what the result is, it’s good.”

The next morning, the private doctor called.

Yu Luo woke up groggily and asked Qi Song, “What’s the result?”

“The doctor said I currently show no signs of developing a gland,” Qi Song said. “But it doesn’t rule out the possibility that I might differentiate into an Alpha one day in the future.”

“Mm,” Yu Luo responded. “If that day comes, I will accompany you through your differentiation period properly.”

Qi Song smiled, “It’s a promise.”

---

The days passed quickly.

The development of both their careers was like fire, like flowering white grass⁵, and both found their bodies not by their own will, caught up in heavy workloads, often unable to see each other.

Yu Luo remembered one time they hadn’t seen each other for nearly a month.

She was filming in a remote mountainous area, while Qi Song was busy abroad for a luxury brand endorsement. Neither could get away.

Usually, her thoughts were crammed with work, leaving no time to think too much. But that day, she happened to finish work early for a change. Life slowed down for the first time in a long while, and some negative emotions suddenly surfaced.

Lying on the hotel bed, Yu Luo looked at the WeChat chat interface where Qi Song hadn’t replied all day and suddenly felt a little sad.

They were occupying less and less time in each other’s lives. Could it be that Qi Song was gradually needing her less?

She knew this thought was a bit excessive. Because Qi Song still cared for her as always and always expressed her love directly and passionately. Half a month ago, her eyes had even turned red pitifully during a video call because she missed her so much.

It was just that she had been gravely ill again these past few days, and filming while dragging her sick body was even more exhausting. Having just begun to recover, she was physically and mentally fragile, and couldn’t help but indulge her low spirits.

The nights in the mountains were always very cold, and a fierce wind howled outside the window.

Half-asleep, Yu Luo received a call from Qi Song. She heard a sudden gust of wind blow into the receiver from the other end and asked in a daze, “Are you out in the wind?”

“Mhm.” The smile in the young woman’s voice was somewhat fragmented by the wind. “The wind outside your window.”

Yu Luo didn’t react for a moment.

She remained in a daze for a while, then suddenly threw off the covers with force and got out of bed barefoot.

She rushed to the window in a few steps and opened it.

Charging into the room along with the fierce wind was the clear gaze of the young woman downstairs, looking straight up.

Yu Luo leaned against the window, looking at her from afar. Her hands gripped the windowsill tightly, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Qi Song’s lips parted, and a clear, moist voice flowed from the phone pressed against Yu Luo’s ear: “Wait for me.”

The next second, Yu Luo saw the person downstairs put away her phone and run straight for the hotel entrance.

Qi Song didn’t hang up, so Yu Luo heard the strong wind whistling past the pocket of the young woman’s coat, heard the slightly heavy footsteps and quickened breath of her rapid running, and heard the soft thud of the corridor door being pushed open forcefully and then closing on its own.

All of it, just to run to her.

It took several beats for Yu Luo to come back to her senses amidst her trembling emotions. She immediately turned and rushed to the door of her room, not caring that she stumbled along the way.

She opened the door, and a silhouette so familiar it was carved into her bones came into view.

Her breath hitched. She stepped onto the floor with bare feet and, in a few steps, crashed into the embrace she had thought of in the morning and longed for in the evening. She stood on her toes, hooked her arms around Qi Song’s neck, and hugged her tightly.

“Qi Song,” she choked out in a low cry.

Qi Song’s coat carried the chill of the mountain wind, while Yu Luo was only wearing thin pajamas. The contact between their bodies inevitably made her shiver from the cold, but her grip didn’t loosen in the slightest.

“Jiejie, Jiejie…”

Qi Song returned her enthusiasm in kind. Her arm wrapped around her waist, first pressing firmly against her lips, then lowering her head to bury her cheek in the crook of her neck, breathing in her scent eagerly.

The hotel in the mountainous area was in poor condition. The corridor walls were mottled, the lighting was dim, and the heating was insufficient.

But the embrace at this moment was bright and warm, illuminating every corner of her heart.

Qi Song was truly a fool. A round trip of nearly thirty hours, just to see her for three.

The two didn’t do much more, just snuggled under the covers, hugging and kissing, finding peace of mind in each other’s warmth and scent.

“Jiejie, I plan to stay this busy until I’m 22, then I’ll start to gradually slow down,” Qi Song said.

Both she and Yu Luo had strong career ambitions, and the entertainment industry was a fast-paced place where, once you rested, you could be overtaken by waves of newcomers. Now was the time of their most rapid development; it was an opportunity not to be missed, and they needed to press forward with the momentum.

So their current busyness was involuntary.

But she had become famous early. By the time she was 22, she should have accumulated a certain amount of capital and confidence, allowing her to start calmly picking and choosing her work.

“The life I have now isn’t what I want,” Qi Song said. “I can’t even see you for a month. Sometimes I suddenly can’t find the meaning in being busy, and I feel very empty inside.”

Yu Luo gently stroked the top of her head and said softly, “Then let’s make a promise. When you turn 22, we’ll slow down our pace together and leave more time for each other.”

“Mhm.” Qi Song kissed her cheek, somewhat happily.

“By the way, Jiejie, have you been sick again recently?” She carefully observed the woman’s face. “You feel a lot thinner than in the videos.”

Yu Luo lightly sketched, faintly wrote⁶, “I had a cold a few days ago—”

Her words were cut short as a hand slipped under the hem of her pajamas and began to gently cause trouble.

Yu Luo lowered her eyes, biting her lip to suppress a gasp.

After some exploration, Qi Song slowly withdrew her hand and hugged her, saying with disappointment, “You’ve lost so much weight.”

Her waist was so thin it felt like it could snap with a pinch.

The air fell silent for a moment. Yu Luo wanted to say something to comfort her, but suddenly felt her ear being bitten.

Then she heard Qi Song sigh the next second: “I can’t wait anymore.”

“Twenty-two is a bit far away… In a little while, can you set aside a short, complete period of time for me?”

---

It was around the time of their second anniversary. The seaside villa Qi Song had purchased for Yu Luo in D City was ready to be moved into.

At the peak of their careers, they rebelliously put their work on hold for a short time to go to D City for a vacation.

It was beautiful there, warm and open. Under the blue sky and azure sea, there was a particularly relaxing sense of freedom.

Without work intruding, they watched the sea from their own home, kissed, and made love. They walked hand in hand along the beach, sharing joy over finding a beautiful seashell.

They had a daring tryst on the giant rock, and later, they experienced a masquerade ball together, intoxicated by the arc of each other’s swirling skirts.

After the ball, they kissed in the cabin of the cruise ship. Yu Luo was lifted onto the washstand, accepting Qi Song’s passion.

This short escape was about to end. Early tomorrow morning, they would have to return to their busy lives once more.

Qi Song caressed the woman’s cheek. After these days of rest and recuperation, Yu Luo’s physical condition had visibly improved.

“Jiejie, can we come again next autumn? Today was so blissful, the thought of us going our separate ways tomorrow morning makes me so reluctant to leave…”

Yu Luo’s hand rested on her shoulder. She agreed between pants, “Mhm, and it just so happens you’ll be 22 next autumn. We can come and stay for longer.”

Their lips parted, and she closed her eyes, resting in the crook of Qi Song’s neck.

She murmured with a light laugh, “I really loved today.”

“The pink sunset clouds over the sea by the giant rock were so romantic, and the music at the masquerade ball tonight was so gentle.”

“I even feel like I can endure a long wait just by holding onto this memory.”

At this time, the “wait” she spoke of was merely the days and nights they couldn’t meet while busy with work. “Next autumn” also seemed so easily attainable, a promise set for just one year away, brewing endless anticipation in the passage of time.

They were immersed in this anticipation, neither of them ever imagining what would come later—the nature of the wait became unpredictable, and the vision of “next autumn” failed to arrive as promised.

…They were so close to touching it.

---

Qi Song finally turned 22. Both of them adjusted their work plans as promised, forgoing tight schedules to leave more time for each other.

That day, they were nestled at home, and for the first time in a long while, they made love with complete abandon.

“Tomorrow, we’ll sleep until we wake up naturally, then set off for D City to fulfill last year’s promise.”

Qi Song scooped up the limp-bodied Yu Luo and cherishly kissed her forehead.

“I’m so happy, Jiejie.” Her eyes curved as she smiled, her young and beautiful face filled with a moving excitement.

“I can see you’re very happy.”

Yu Luo weakly pinched her ear and said with a pout:

“Bad little dog.”

She had been tormented to the point where her bones felt like they were about to fall apart.

“Let’s go to the giant rock the day after tomorrow.” Qi Song pecked her face clingily, already starting to plan their second trip to the rock. “No, wait, let’s go the day after that. Jiejie is tired today and needs to rest and recover.”

“We’ll bring more things then, mhm, the handcuffs in the cabinet and…”

“Oh, and the qipao I had custom-made for you. It’s the same color as your long dress from last year’s masquerade ball, especially beautiful.”

Yu Luo: “…”

She was a little embarrassed. Her lashes drooped slightly, and she pursed her lips without a word.

“Okay? Okay?” Someone was wagging their tail.

Yu Luo’s mood was infected by her enthusiasm. She finally couldn’t help but smile, her shyness dissipating as she said frankly, “Okay.”

“It’s so great that we’ll be able to see each other often after we get back from D City.”

As Qi Song spoke, she carefully carried her out of bed to the bathroom to wash up, suddenly feeling a little regretful. “We should have done this sooner.”

They had been busy with work for the past two years and had indeed achieved impressive results, now having a position in the entertainment industry that was not easily replaced.

But life is short, and every day is important. One should strive to be closer to their beloved.

“It’s okay, no rush…” Yu Luo leaned against her shoulder as if she had no bones, feeling a little restless from being washed. She spoke intermittently, “You’re only 22, and I’m only 26… We have a whole lifetime ahead of us, so much time.”

Later, Yu Luo was so turned on by the slow and gentle way someone was bathing her that she couldn’t help but physically hint that she wanted more.

“Be good, Jiejie,” Qi Song said softly. “I saw it was a little red and swollen just now. Let it recover first.”

“…” Yu Luo was mortified and refused to admit it: “Who said they wanted it?”

“Mhm, it was me.” Qi Song couldn’t help but laugh, coaxing her with kisses and hugs.

When they came out of the bathroom, the sky outside the window was already faintly light.

They drew the blackout curtains and snuggled together comfortably to sleep, relaxed and lazy.

When they woke up tomorrow morning, in the near future was a pleasant vacation in D City, and in the distant future, the joy and warmth of each other’s company under a slower work pace.

A happiness so close they could touch it without reaching.

Yu Luo closed her eyes, relaxing completely in Qi Song’s embrace, feeling a certainty that they could stay like this until the sky is barren and the earth is old⁷.

“Goodnight, I love you.” Qi Song gently kissed the top of her head.

“I love you too.” In a drowsy haze, Yu Luo nuzzled against Qi Song’s neck. “Will I see you when I wake up tomorrow?”

They hadn’t seen each other for too long recently, and Yu Luo missed the feeling of being held when she woke up.

“You will,” Qi Song said softly. “Even if you don’t wake up until tomorrow night, I will keep holding you, and the moment you open your eyes, I’ll kiss you.”

Qi Song had never broken a promise.

Therefore, Yu Luo curled her lips in contentment and easily fell asleep in the familiar scent and warmth.

In her dream, there were the pink sunset clouds by the giant rock, and a skirt as deep and gorgeous as a spider lily.

---

The midday sun was brilliant, shining on her eyelids and casting an unbearable warm red glow.

Yu Luo’s eyelashes trembled uneasily a few times.

She opened her eyes in a daze of residual sleepiness, slowly sat up while hugging the quilt, and stared blankly for a while.

—Even if you don’t wake up until tomorrow night, I will keep holding you, and the moment you open your eyes, I’ll kiss you.

The young woman’s gentle promise was still in her ears. Yu Luo’s heart trembled, and her gaze instantly cleared.

She turned her head to look.

The space beside her was empty.
