Transmigrating as the Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O Female Lead

Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 110

by Little Panda

Red Rope Bell.

The next day.

Both of them had requested leave.

After all, this was an ABO world. An Omega’s Susceptible Period¹ flares up, the Alpha stays with her to help relieve² it—it’s perfectly normal for the two of them to disappear together for seven days and seven nights, isn’t it?

Of course, it didn’t last that long.

By the time they woke up, it was already nearing noon.

Since Pei Xuezhi had joined the film crew, Naonao spent more nights over at Fu Chaoyun’s place, and gradually, even Pei Xuezhi, the cat’s master, was lured over.

There were some ingredients stocked in the fridge; this meal was cooked by Fu Chaoyun.

A high-IQ top student like Pei Xuezhi naturally wouldn’t fit the classic idol drama character trope³ of being high-IQ but low-EQ/life-skilled⁴. By looking things up online and hanging around⁵ Fu Chaoyun’s side to watch and learn, while maybe not exceptionally delicious from the start, her cooking was at least edible.

However, the Alpha always took charge of these tasks. Previously, she’d said something like, “Our Zhizhi is the one supporting the family, let me handle these household chores.” Today, she was even more direct—

“Have you recovered?”

Pei Xuezhi wanted to say she wasn’t as delicate as most Omegas, but Fu Chaoyun didn’t give her the chance.

So far, Pei Xuezhi had only been assigned the task of washing the clothes and bedsheets. But those sheets had been changed by Fu Chaoyun while she was still drowsily being carried off to wash up in the morning, and then everything was tossed into the washing machine.

All she had to do was simply press the start button.

The TV in the living room was still on. This time, it wasn’t playing an idol drama, but rather the little kitty’s favorite show, Animal World. Naonao had commandeered the sofa, watching with great interest, though who knew if it understood anything. Sounds drifted from the kitchen, occasionally mixed with the hum of the washing machine.

Fu Chaoyun’s residence was nearly 200 square meters⁶. For two people, even adding a cat and a tank of small goldfish, it felt too large. But now, suffused with the warmth of domestic life⁷, intermittently carrying the lingering scent of their undisguised pheromones.

It seemed… not so empty anymore…

Fu Chaoyun was stir-frying vegetables when, as if sensing something, she turned her head to see Pei Xuezhi had come in at some point.

The house was large, and the kitchen was equally spacious.

Right now, the Omega was leaning against the back counter, watching her, her gaze deep and profound.

The Alpha tilted her head.

“Zhizhi?”

The Omega walked over, not minding the smell of cooking fumes clinging to the other woman, and wrapped her arms around her waist from behind. “Jiejie, thank you for your hard work.”

This posture was usually one an Alpha took with an Omega, inadvertently displaying a possessive stance.

Fu Chaoyun didn’t move at first, her brow furrowing slightly, just considering whether she should reply with “Serve the people”⁸, but then her gaze swept downwards.

“Ahhh—stop hugging, stop hugging, it’s going to burn!!”

Pei Xuezhi: “…”

Some people really were romance allergic.

And so, Pei Xuezhi, who would only “get in the way” and “be more hindrance than help,” was expelled by the “family head chef.”

However, Fu Chaoyun did possess a modicum of emotional intelligence after all. Before shooing her out, she lightly pecked Pei Xuezhi’s cheek.

Pei Xuezhi slanted a look at her. “Didn’t you say it was going to burn?”

Fu Chaoyun replied while stir-frying, “Mmm… well, since it’s already like this, Zhizhi is more important anyway.”

Oh, so not completely romance allergic then.

The woman even smiled at her. Pei Xuezhi couldn’t maintain her cool demeanor and couldn’t help but smile back, her dark eyes brimming with mirth.

—Her Alpha really was too sweet.

With Fu Chaoyun handling the cooking, Pei Xuezhi couldn’t help, so she turned back and fed the family’s “Da Bao” and “Er Bao”.

Poor dear cubs, even though things hadn’t even begun to take shape⁹ yet, they were already destined to be overshadowed. In the future, they might even have to start supporting their older brother and sisters early on, sigh.

Thinking of this, Pei Xuezhi chuckled softly, her fingertips brushing her own belly.

The medication lasted 72 hours.

There was nothing here now, but there would be in the future, there would be…

With only two people at home, Fu Chaoyun made a relatively simple lunch. And not long after the meal, they engaged in some “digestion exercise”.

—AO leave during the Susceptible Period is completely justified!

Afterwards, the two familiarly began their pillow talk.

Pei Xuezhi’s fingers were exceptionally beautiful. Now held in Fu Chaoyun’s hands, they were being played with delicately, one by one.

The Alpha’s voice was a bit deep, low and pleasant. “Like this now, does it count as the underground lover turning official? Are Zhizhi and I formally together now?”

“Mhm.”

Pei Xuezhi’s voice was soft too, lingering and captivating, exceptionally enthralling.

Fu Chaoyun was very satisfied with this answer, but amidst her contentment, she couldn’t help clicking her tongue. “Isn’t this a bit too casual?”

Pei Xuezhi’s dark hair spread across the head of the bed. The bedding set underneath was newly changed; the previous one had just been hung out to dry after their post-meal activities. This set probably wouldn’t last long either.

Fortunately, Fu Chaoyun came from a wealthy background and could afford to splurge.

Besides, things being as they were, they couldn’t possibly not change them, right!

At this moment, Pei Xuezhi’s dark pupils also looked over. There was no intention of coaxing, “If Jiejie feels it’s too casual, you can choose to do it over.”

Fu Chaoyun pondered for a moment, finally frowning as she said, “Let’s not.”

Actually, Pei Xuezhi was just saying it. Compared to formalities, she cared more about Fu Chaoyun’s attitude, or rather, about Fu Chaoyun as a whole person.

The person was already in her hands; other things were more or less optional.

Both understood that the confession during the dating show had broken the final barrier¹⁰, and the Marking at Pei Xuezhi’s home later had pulled them even closer. They had done everything they should and shouldn’t have done. All that remained was the final, crucial step¹¹.

Finally—

Today, that step had also been taken!

Cause for celebration!

Although she had long known this would be the outcome, that it was just a matter of time, Fu Chaoyun was still overjoyed when the day actually arrived. The Alpha smiled until her eyes curved.

Pretty and… somewhat silly-looking.

Normally, Pei Xuezhi would have worn an expression of finding it hard to watch, maybe even covering her eyes, but right now, she just watched her intently, just like she had watched Fu Chaoyun in the kitchen earlier. Eventually, she couldn’t help but start laughing too.

The same expression, equally a bit foolish.

Not at all fitting her high-IQ top student persona.

But…

This was probably what it felt like to be in love.

Surrounded by pink bubbles. As long as the two were together, making contact, they would occasionally trigger an “intelligence reduction”¹² halo—oh no, sweet interactions.

Her long-cherished wish fulfilled.

“Right.” After basking in the sweetness for a while, Fu Chaoyun brought up another matter. “Since we’re together now, should we tell the family?”

Pei Xuezhi had said before that she had no relatives on her side; only Fu Chaoyun’s side mattered.

Madam Fu practiced a hands-off policy, but Gu Huaiyi, despite being an open-minded parent, still hoped in his heart for the two kids to settle down after Fu Chaoyun mentioned it, even if he didn’t bring it up.

Her sister-in-law occasionally showed concern and offered guidance, and even the seemingly most indifferent “Little CEO Fu” Fu Lingfeng was secretly paying attention.

Pei Xuezhi paused her movements. “We can go.”

Meeting Fu Chaoyun’s gaze.

“Go pay a visit—in advance.”

“Okay.” Fu Chaoyun smiled beautifully, simultaneously patting her, soothing Pei Xuezhi’s unease. No matter how brave an Omega was, she would still be somewhat nervous at such a time.

“So when is Zhizhi free? I’ll let the family know.”

Pei Xuezhi’s mood indeed relaxed somewhat. “After I finish with 《Prosperous Tang Song》, let’s find a time when everyone is available.”

“Mhm~” Fu Chaoyun agreed, then snuggled closer, rubbing and nuzzling. “Zhizhi is so wonderful, they will definitely like you very much.”

She had said similar words of comfort the last time this topic came up. Bringing it up again now seemed somewhat redundant, like revisiting an old subject, but Pei Xuezhi was indeed susceptible to such “clichéd” tactics.

“They like you,” Pei Xuezhi said, looking at Fu Chaoyun.

The Alpha before her clearly looked like the type who grew up soaked in a honey pot—utterly doted on by her family, extremely well-protected, exuding an air of nobility. At first glance, she might seem naive about the world, but upon interaction, one discovered she was remarkably perceptive.

The Fu family had no arranged marriage plans for Fu Chaoyun, nor did they need a marriage alliance; it was entirely up to her. A family like this had no need to play the role of the evil mother-in-law, so their feelings towards her were likely a form of loving the house and its crow¹³.

Fu Chaoyun understood this herself and didn’t elaborate. “Then we’ll trouble them to like one more person from now on.”

Pei Xuezhi smiled faintly and suddenly agreed, “Okay.”

Now it was Fu Chaoyun’s turn to be confused. The Alpha blinked her pretty amber eyes. “What is Zhizhi saying ‘okay’ to?”

Pei Xuezhi patted the Alpha’s head, just like she usually petted Naonao the little cat.

—There would also be one more person to dote on Fu Chaoyun.

With the matter of the visit settled, Fu Chaoyun suddenly thought of something else and teased, “So is Zhizhi planning to buy cigarettes and alcohol?”¹⁴

Pei Xuezhi: “I can.”

If she wasn’t embarrassed, what was there for Pei Xuezhi to fear?

The hand petting the big cat moved more smoothly, but the big cat underneath wasn’t entirely compliant; after enjoying the petting, she still wanted to cause trouble.

“But Zhizhi’s card is with me right now.”

Pei Xuezhi, mistaken for being penniless: “…”

The Omega gently bit her lip. “I have private savings!”

Hearing this, Fu Chaoyun’s eyes widened instantly, looking like she was on the verge of tears, and she even said indignantly, “Aha! So you’ve been secretly hiding stash money behind my back!”

Her inner drama queen was showing again. Pei Xuezhi knew what act she was about to put on—her recent acting experience was proving useful—and played along, calmly and unhurriedly asking, “So what does Jiejie intend to do?”

Fu Chaoyun pounced over, both serious and not serious, humming and whining.

“Tell me, exactly how much did you hide!”

“I need to properly ‘inspect’ ‘inspect’!!”

And then the lights went out¹⁵ again. Fu Chaoyun now had both face and substance¹⁶, only the System—it absolutely couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

Daily freak out—

【Susceptible Period, your sins run deep ahhhhh!!!】

So, having status versus not having status really makes a difference; the confidence is sky-high!

…

This session went straight from noon to evening. The digestion effects were outstanding. For dinner, Fu Chaoyun felt lazy too and just ordered takeout.

Fu Chaoyun was still lying in bed. From last night until now, the bed had become the place these two spent the most time.

Pei Xuezhi, however, suddenly threw on a piece of clothing and got up, proving her physical fitness—a cut above other Omegas—was indeed due to her constitution. She even started walking out.

“What is Zhizhi doing?”

“The takeout hasn’t arrived yet, you can rest a bit longer. If you need anything, I’ll get it for you.”

Fu Chaoyun was about to get up too but was stopped by Pei Xuezhi. “No need.”

Pei Xuezhi was gone for about three minutes or so. When she returned, she held a collar in her hand.

Fu Chaoyun recognized the item; she had bought it for Naonao at the pet store back then. She’d bought a whole bunch at the time, but Pei Xuezhi said collars weren’t good for cats, so they hadn’t been taken out afterwards.

Later on, as Naonao and the cat’s owner started staying here more often, Pei Xuezhi hadn’t given up her original rental place, but these things had gradually been moved over, bit by bit, like a hamster hoarding supplies.

What could the little kitty do?

Naturally, just enjoy it~

Now, as Pei Xuezhi walked, the bell jingled.

Naonao actually followed behind her. From yesterday until now, the two humans had been immersed in their “world for two,” rather neglecting the family cub.

Seeing Fu Chaoyun, the cat leaped onto the head of the bed. Fortunately, Fu Chaoyun was also dressed. The room was thick with the mixed pheromones of the Alpha and Omega, but it didn’t affect the cat much.

Fu Chaoyun still felt a bit guilty, reflecting on her actions, then petted the little cat’s head and looked at Pei Xuezhi. “Are you going to put it on her?”

“No.”

Pei Xuezhi didn’t chase the cat away. Saying this, she walked to the head of the bed and glanced at the Alpha leaning back lazily, resembling a gorgeous, opulent flowering crabapple.

She said, “Foot.”

Fu Chaoyun thought she meant she wanted to sit there, but she herself hadn’t stretched her legs out far, taking up space. Thinking this, she tucked her legs further under the thin blanket.

A soft sigh seemed to sound. The next second, Pei Xuezhi’s hand reached in, accurately grasped her ankle, and pulled it out from under the cover.

Fu Chaoyun was only wearing a simple slip dress, a camisole style. It was originally Pei Xuezhi’s, but earlier, Pei Xuezhi had put on her clothes when she went out, leaving only this one nearby, which was also newly changed this morning.

Their figures were nearly identical. They had done far more intimate things—pheromones entangled, Marking—so merely swapping clothes bearing each other’s scent was nothing now.

The Alpha’s calf was slender and well-proportioned, delicate and fair-skinned. From afar, it looked no different from an ordinary person’s, just exceptionally beautiful. But up close now, if Fu Chaoyun exerted just a little force, one could glimpse the sense of power inherent in an Alpha.

After all, just moments ago, this person had used this very body to…

Pei Xuezhi stopped the fanciful thoughts surge in her head. Looking up, she saw the little cat audaciously¹⁷ attempting to climb higher.

Fu Chaoyun had a good figure to begin with, and now wearing Pei Xuezhi’s slip dress, her chest seemed ready to spill out. The cat lifted its paw, seemingly about to step—

Pei Xuezhi immediately scooped Naonao down.

The actions of grabbing the ankle and picking up the cat were both extremely fast. Fu Chaoyun lay there, leaning against the headboard, her dense hair naturally curly, falling lightly against her cheeks. Fair skin, red lips, beautiful features.

She perfectly embodied the captivating charm of a glamorous beauty from a classic film.

Pei Xuezhi held the red cat collar with the bell and suddenly said to Fu Chaoyun, “What if I put this on Jiejie?”

Fu Chaoyun was stunned for a moment.

She was naturally bright and cheerful, and moreover, the one saying this was Pei Xuezhi, so no humiliating thoughts arose. Coming back to her senses, she agreed without even thinking.

“Okay.”

Her gaze shifted to what Pei Xuezhi held. The latter cooperatively gave it a shake, ding-ling ding-ling—

As Fu Chaoyun watched, she blurted out, “Can my neck fit into that?”

Pfft~

Pei Xuezhi laughed. She usually had a cool demeanor, but now, smiling brightly, her features relaxed, she actually took on some of the radiant look of the woman opposite her.

“Just teasing Jiejie.”

“?”

Under Fu Chaoyun’s watchful gaze, Pei Xuezhi placed the cat collar aside, abandoning it, then opened her previously half-clenched palm, revealing what she truly wanted to show Fu Chaoyun.

A red rope bell.

The room’s lighting wasn’t too dim now, and they were close. The rope seemed of better quality than ordinary ones, a vibrant red. The bell had the luster of bright gold, likely crafted from pure gold. Under the light, it didn’t look old-fashioned at all.

Pei Xuezhi held one end, letting it dangle and sway gently. The bell’s chime was also more pleasant than the previous one.

Ding-ling ding-ling—

Before Fu Chaoyun could speak, Pei Xuezhi introduced it first, “Mhm, bought with my private savings.”

Fu Chaoyun: “…”

Having been together for a while, even the formerly most proper Zhizhi had learned to tease!

Thinking of the earlier “inspection” of private savings, Fu Chaoyun nodded slightly, feigning seriousness. “Approved.”

Then she extended her hand.

The Alpha’s wrist was also very pretty, slender and snow-white. Under the light, Pei Xuezhi’s eyes seemed to deepen. Finally, she looked at Fu Chaoyun. “Not like this.”

Her calf and ankle were still exposed, feeling a bit chilly. Fu Chaoyun suddenly recalled Pei Xuezhi’s earlier action and understood.

“Zhizhi wants to tie it on my foot!”

Pei Xuezhi looked at her without speaking, but her expression and gaze were enough to convey everything.

That was what she wanted.

“Go ahead.” The Alpha had no objections whatsoever, saying magnanimously, even extending her ankle cooperatively.

Pei Xuezhi sat on the edge of the bed, head lowered, fingers weaving.

The rope had just been held in her hand, close to body temperature, but the bell was always somewhat cool. Even though it was just a tiny bit, when it touched the skin, the contrast created a strange sensation, almost like a shiver.

A delicate ankle.

And this patch of red against white, the gleaming gold… together formed an extremely beautiful sight.

It encircled her.

Ding-ling, ding-ling, ding-ling, ding-ling, ding-ling—

Pei Xuezhi fiddled with it again and again.

The feeling of this object held in the hand versus actually worn on the Alpha was completely different.

Pei Xuezhi enjoyed it immensely.

Fu Chaoyun looked at the bell, then at Pei Xuezhi, finally smiling with curved eyes. “It’s pretty.”

Pei Xuezhi gazed intently.

“The bell Zhizhi chose is pretty, and I look pretty too.”

Pei Xuezhi laughed happily.

Wish fulfilled, the Omega made a new request. “Stand up, walk around.”

She wanted to experience that feeling.

Fu Chaoyun was cooperative, but as her foot touched the ground, she muttered softly, “Nothing wrong, walk two steps?”¹⁸

[I’m not sure but here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxtT4CuNHIw]

“…”

Regrettably, Pei Xuezhi also knew this meme. She really was the king of ruining the atmosphere!!

Staring at the beautiful face, she strictly forbade the other from saying buzzkill words.

“Shut up!”

The red rope bell tied around the ankle was indeed pretty. Walking made it sound even more crisp and lively. Even Naonao was attracted, slinking over and stretching out a paw, wanting to bat at it.

But Pei Xuezhi pressed its paw down at once.

“You can’t touch it. Mine.”

It’s mine.

She rarely used such a tone to lecture the little cat. And after Fu Chaoyun had “walked two steps,” this Alpha, who had previously let Pei Xuezhi do as she pleased, finally voiced her own opinion.

“This looks good, but wouldn’t it be bad to wear it out? It’s a bit loud.” Fu Chaoyun said this while walking back to Pei Xuezhi’s side, accompanied by the bell’s sound, leaning in to whisper, “I’m also a CEO now, you know.”

Pei Xuezhi’s past wish had merely been fulfilled; giving Fu Chaoyun this “gift” today was more about realizing a dream of her own, not about forcing anything.

She didn’t want to completely bind her, imprison her, like that vile scum from the previous life, confining her to this narrow world.

Perhaps she had indeed once harbored such despicable thoughts, but seeing Fu Chaoyun’s current state, Pei Xuezhi knew this was definitely not something the other would want.

So, for the sake of the other’s feelings, she took care, she repented.

This red rope bell served as a response and a curtain call for those past thoughts. The other person remained unrestrained, free.

Freely stirring her heart back and forth.

Therefore, Pei Xuezhi, now holding the jealous little cat, lowered her eyes and spoke softly, “Mhm, it’s a gift for Jiejie. Jiejie can dispose of it freely.”

—Besides, she didn’t want others to see Fu Chaoyun like this either.

Pei Xuezhi had always been an extremely possessive person!

“Then I’ll put it away safely.” Fu Chaoyun nodded.

Pei Xuezhi put the cat down, tossing the rougher cat collar over for the kitty to play with, while she spoke to Fu Chaoyun.

“Sit down.”

She would help her take it off.

After all, she was an Alpha; they probably cared about face. It was already remarkable that Fu Chaoyun had cooperated with her to this extent.

She was very satisfied.

But Fu Chaoyun dodged away. The Alpha winked playfully, her tone shifting. “I just can’t wear it out. Wearing it at home is still okay.”

Pei Xuezhi’s movements paused.

“Jiejie, I really will become arrogant from being spoiled.”

“Permission granted~”

Fu Chaoyun walked over, ding-ling ding-ling, her posture graceful and natural, showing no awkwardness. She kissed the corner of the other’s lips, the Alpha rarely being so “domineering.”

“Zhizhi can be even more ‘spoiled’.”

“In all aspects.”

…

A while later.

“Zhizhi, does this count as a token of love?”

…

The red rope bell was ultimately removed by Pei Xuezhi because the constant ding-ling ding-ling all over the house, while nice at first, became a bit noisy after listening for too long.

Fu Chaoyun: “…”

Hmph!

Fickle woman!!

Three days later, the holiday ended.

Fu Chaoyun and Pei Xuezhi went together to visit the current Mi Shan.

The author has something to say:

This chapter is a bit long, sorry for the delay. Tomorrow’s update should return to the main storyline. Good night la~w
