Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 10
by Little PandaSister Xuezhi~
Fu Chaoyun looked at Qi Changfeng with confusion.
“The production team currently has only two omegas, and you arranged them all on the same floor as me. Brother, are you naturally averse to omegas, or do you just not want to find a partner during the show?”
Qi Changfeng winked at her.
Fu Chaoyun: “…Very well, let’s bury this matter.”
Pei Xuezhi’s expression remained unchanged, “Alright.”
Fu Li’s cheeks were red, “I- I have no problem with it either.”
The remaining two people also had no objections, so Fu Chaoyun could only go with the flow.
ใLook on the bright side,ใ the System said, ใWhat if something happens to Pei Xuezhi during the show, since you’re sleeping next to her…ใ
“What did you say?” Fu Chaoyun interrupted.
ใ…since you’re living next door to her, you can help save her immediately if needed.ใ
Fu Chaoyun pointed accusingly, “Can’t you, as a System, wish something good for others?”
ใ………Sorry.ใ The System was in self-reflection mode.
Still, living next door, even if they couldn’t do tie-tie (a cute way of saying physical intimacy or cuddling in Chinese internet slang), being able to see the beautiful person first thing in the morning… that wasn’t so bad, right?
Everyone went to settle their luggage first.
Ni Jiaojiao, despite being tiny in stature, had brought two huge suitcases, both taller than her waist. While dragging them around earlier wasn’t much of a problem, now that she had to carry them up to the third floor, it became quite troublesome.
Jian Yi stood beside her, and when he saw this scene, his steps paused. In that brief moment of hesitation, Qi Changfeng’s voice cut in.
“Jiaojiao, you have a lot of luggage, having trouble moving it?”
Ni Jiaojiao’s name had two identical characters ‘jiao’ which naturally gave a sense of intimacy when pronounced, so suddenly dropping her surname didn’t feel out of place.
Ni Jiaojiao was the type of girl who embodied sweet cuteness (a common aesthetic in Asian culture called meng or kawaii), and when she heard this, she nodded, her voice soft and tender like mochi (a description often used in Chinese novels to describe a gentle, cute voice), “I packed a bit too much…”
“No problem,” Qi Changfeng said cheerfully, walking over and lifting one suitcase in each hand, showing off his perfect alpha physique, “I’ll help you carry them up first.”
Ni Jiaojiao’s eyes instantly sparkled, exclaiming, “You’re so strong, that’s amazing~!”
Qi Changfeng smiled, “This isn’t even heavy.”
Jian Yi, who had first noticed this scene, was now left behind. However, since entering, his demeanor had been mild and peaceful, and even when the cameras focused on him, nothing unusual could be detected.
On the side, Fu Chaoyun witnessed the whole process and remarked to the System, “Tsk tsk, the love war has already begun…”
Pei Xuezhi happened to be pulling her suitcase past her, and seeing Fu Chaoyun eagerly watching like an outsider, she couldn’t help but mock her.
“Do you also want someone to help carry your suitcase?”
“Hm?”
Fu Chaoyun turned her head and saw it was her, first stunned for a moment, then her beautiful glass-like eyes curved slightly.
“Will you help me then?”
This alpha had absolutely no awareness of being an alpha.
The indoor lighting was abundant, and when the woman before her smiled, the corners of her eyes lifted slightly, her features too brilliantly beautiful, with the end of her words lilting upward.
Compared to Ni Jiaojiao’s sweet and endearing nature, she appeared gracefully confident. Her head tilted slightly to one side, her wavy long hair and the red dress’s straps sliding down slightly, resting on her collarbone, making that patch of skin appear snow-white.
Though an alpha, she was more like an enchanting demon.
Fu Chaoyun wore a fire-red long dress, her limbs soft and slender, and now she lowered herself slightly, her whole body seeming boneless (a Chinese expression describing extremely graceful movement) as she lightly leaned against her branded suitcase.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, with an ambiguous smile.
“Pei Xuezhi.”
She imitated Ni Jiaojiao’s tone from earlier, but when she spoke, it was soul-stirring and bewitching, “You’re the most amazing~!”
The unintentional charm is the most alluring.
ใAhhhhh!ใ
ใWhat kind of fox spirit reincarnation is this!ใ
ใBig sister, please feel free to drain all my yang energy! I’m willing!!!ใ (referring to the traditional Chinese concept where fox spirits drain men’s vital essence)
The bullet comments were filled with screams of excitement, while Pei Xuezhi’s gaze fell on Fu Chaoyun. Her originally cool and clear eyes now seemed to have darkened somewhat.
ใHas she caught your eye?ใ
ใWhen a fox spirit is being so alluring, who wouldn’t have their heart moved?!ใ
ใGo for it, Pei Xuezhi! I give you temporary permission to touch my wife!ใ
Fu Chaoyun lowered her voice, with a husky and languid tone that resembled a scummy alpha who treated life as a game and toyed with others’ feelings. She called out again, “Little Sister Xuezhi, how about it~”
She was doing this on purpose!
Fu Chaoyun’s thinking was simple.
She was forced by the System to be a simp (tian gou, literally “licking dogโ), and who knew how long she’d have to keep simping. Now that Pei Xuezhi had voluntarily presented herself…
…How could she let this chance slip by?
ใPei Xuezhi seems younger, right? You can tell.ใ
ใIt’s a younger partner dynamic! I’m so here for it!ใ
ใAh~ I’ve lost my soul~!ใ
Pei Xuezhi’s gaze seemed to be entangled by the other’s charm, but after a moment, she looked away, returning to her usual cool and aloof demeanor.
“Carry it yourself.”
She didn’t subscribe to any fixed notions about how alphas or omegas should behave, but why should she help Fu Chaoyun? Help this alpha whom she despised the most?
ใ???ใ
ใI already took off my pants, and this is all we get?ใ (LP: This is willd!)
ใThere’s a good reason why some people are still single!ใ
Watching Pei Xuezhi leave, Fu Chaoyun felt somewhat regretful, as this had been a rare opportunity to make the other person do some work (lao yi, a play on words meaning both ‘to work’ and ‘to tease’).
Who knew what kind of tasks the System would assign her in the future.
“Th-that… if you need help, I can help too,” Fu Li had somehow walked up beside her, speaking with a stutter.
Fu Chaoyun took one look at his thin arms and legs, and instantly lost interest, “Never mind.”
Just as they reached the stairway entrance, she lifted the suitcase with one hand, showing none of the delicate weakness she had displayed in front of Pei Xuezhi earlier.
Moreover, as an alpha, Fu Chaoyun had never once thought about helping Fu Li carry his luggage, despite him being an omega.
Fu Li: “……”
ใThis Fu Li really tries to seize every opportunity!ใ
ใTo be honest, I feel a bit sorry for him. He’s been trying to get Fu Chaoyun’s attention since she arrived. It’s rare to see an omega be so proactive, but too bad nothing came of it.ใ
ใObviously, Fu Chaoyun’s eyes can’t see anyone else except Pei Xuezhi!ใ
ใDon’t make assumptions, she was clearly checking out the third-floor trio earlier too.ใ
ใShe wanted Pei Xuezhi to help her carry luggage, she even acted cutesy! How could Pei Xuezhi ignore her? Just ignore her like that?ใ
ใAh, what a cold and heartless alphaใ
ใWaiting for the day when face-slapping turns fragrantใ (a Chinese web novel term for when someone who rejected something ends up loving it)
ใSame here.ใ
Everyone simply put their luggage in their respective rooms, then went back downstairs.
Before they arrived, the show’s production team had explained that during their 33-day stay in the villa, they would be responsible for everything themselves.
Jian Yi, who had arrived first, had already checked the refrigerator and found no food inside. If they wanted lunch, they would have to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and cook for themselves.
It was now ten in the morning, still enough time.
The production team provided the guests with a mid-range business van mainly because it could fit many people at once.
There was a supermarket nearby, about a half-hour drive away. As soon as they entered, Qi Changfeng was already assigning tasks again.
Fu Chaoyun suspected he must have been extremely enthusiastic about running for class officer positions!
“There’s nothing in the kitchen, and time is tight, so let’s split into groups.”
“Jiaojiao and I will handle seasonings and grains; Jian Yi and Fu Li will get the cookware and utensils; Fu Chaoyun and Pei Xuezhi will buy vegetables… Let’s meet at the checkout counter in half an hour, okay?”
Ni Jiaojiao nodded with slightly reddened cheeks;
Jian Yi maintained his chrysanthemum-like demeanor (ru ju, meaning pure and indifferent, chrysanthemums symbolizing nobility and detachment in Chinese culture), seeming unconcerned about everything;
As for Fu Li, he kept glancing toward Fu Chaoyun’s direction, appearing to have something to say.
Before he could gather his thoughts, Pei Xuezhi spoke first, “I can’t cook.” The implication being she couldn’t select ingredients either.
Fu Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand, “Th-that, I…”
ใDingโ Detecting the female lead currently needs assistance, please host go help immediately.ใ
Fu Chaoyun: “……”
Pei Xuezhi obviously didn’t want to be with her, yet the system was issuing tasks forcing her to approach her – was this system just eager to see her die or what?
ใIf the host refuses, there will beโใ
Fu Chaoyun: “I CAN DO IT!!!”
You know what? Fu Chaoyun can slack off from work and just serve as a housewife to Pei Xuezhi. ๐คฃ
