Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 130
by Little PandaTeasing her until her heart stirs.
Madam Feng wasn’t short on money.
The company where Pei Xuezhi currently worked was established a couple of years ago to develop the domestic market.
But even so.
Prime location, considerable area, fully equipped facilities; even a mere employee cafeteria was done extremely well.
To wait for Pei Xuezhi, Fu Chaoyun had chosen a relatively secluded corner spot.
It wasn’t that she was unsociable, but rather that while Pei Xuezhi was a bit aloof, she was seldom affected by external things. However, as the BOSS, Pei Xuezhi had a powerful aura1 and acted with sharp competence; it was better for her to maintain some distance from the employees on a daily basis.
This was also for the employees’ own good.
Just like at this moment.
Pei Xuezhi glanced around.
Although it was in public, very few people noticed the activity over here. Meeting those brilliantly bright eyes2, Pei Xuezhi walked closer.
“What’s wrong?” Pei Xuezhi asked again.
The Alpha didn’t speak, but her eyes clearly spelled out—needs coaxing.
Fu Chaoyun activated coquetry offensive 2.0√3
Pei Xuezhi was in a formal suit, half of her long hair tucked behind her ear, the other half falling naturally, making her pure and refined features appear somewhat noble and exquisite.
As if she had no other choice.
Right then, she bent down slightly, her fingertips gently touching the Alpha’s forehead. With her movement, that untucked half of her black hair scattered, wisps floating across the face of the person sitting there, some occasionally landing on the other’s shoulder.
In an instant, a crack was torn in the packaging of “aloof” or “elite,” and the long hair transformed into silken threads, intimately entangling and enveloping the two of them.
Like a drop of water falling onto a lake surface, splashing up a pool of rippling green spring water.4
“There, there.” Pei Xuezhi’s voice was slightly husky. When she looked down, Fu Chaoyun’s reflection was clearly mirrored in her dark eyes, which were also completely filled by that person.
“What on earth are you suddenly jealous about?”
The super coquettish Alpha blinked, then suddenly revealed a beautiful smile, “Not at all, oh, just suddenly felt like being jealous.”
The System breathed a sigh of relief.
—She ultimately said nothing.
At that moment, all sorts of thoughts had surfaced in her mind, but in the end, they all transformed into an irrelevant sentence.
Fu Chaoyun suddenly realized with a bit of alarm.
At certain times, she and that person were despicable in exactly the same way5. Or rather, once emotions were involved, once it concerned oneself, then everyone’s reaction was the same.
No one could be one hundred percent impartial.
Pei Xuezhi, however, was quite familiar with it. “Is this Jiejie’s little trick again?”
After all, this Alpha had always been full of tricks6, in short, she played more games than an Omega.
Fu Chaoyun stared fixedly at her.
The Omega’s appearance today in a women’s suit was too eye-catching.
A light camel-colored outer jacket, with a beige high-neck base layer underneath. From head to toe, even her neck was thoroughly covered, which made her face look exceptionally beautiful.
Beyond the abstinence7, it didn’t appear excessively cold.
The suit style was close-fitting, further accentuating her long legs in high heels. Her sides were cinched to reveal a slender, graceful waistline, directly enticing one to place a hand there to measure its exactness. And though covered, her neck remained slender and beautiful; whether she looked up or down, when she looked over, she resembled a swan.
Carrying an incomparable pride.
Every strand of her hair was exquisite, noble, and also supremely alluring.
Clearly an Omega, yet at this moment, she possessed a certain imposing manner; even the cascading strands of her hair seemed to have an aggressive quality.
Fu Chaoyun blinked.
“Just a touch is enough?” She deliberately put on a disappointed expression. “Zhizhi is so perfunctory8.”
Pei Xuezhi raised an eyebrow slightly. “If you think it’s perfunctory, you don’t have to have it.”
“Forget it.”
Fu Chaoyun suddenly pressed down on the other’s body as she tried to straighten up, crashing straight into Pei Xuezhi’s eyes, forcefully occupying them. “I accept.”
“As long as it’s from Zhizhi, I accept it all.”
Pei Xuezhi glanced at her again, then sat down and ate with Fu Chaoyun.
Fu Chaoyun watched her from the side.
Having known each other for so long, and having done even more intimate things, Fu Chaoyun still couldn’t be one hundred percent immune to the other’s face.
She simply never tired of looking at it!
When she had first transmigrated over, she had been superficially attracted by that face of the other party.
It was truly love at first sight!
Of course, being able to truly get together later on was clearly not just supported by that face.
Perhaps, that “Fu Chaoyun” of the past also thought so, which is why she was so unable to forget.
Strangely, at this moment, Fu Chaoyun could actually put herself in the other’s shoes, to ponder what that person had once thought and felt at some point in time.
Pei Xuezhi was reborn.
Fu Chaoyun had guessed it before, but today was the first time she had received such an affirmative answer from the System.
Then, recalling the previous life, some despicable, dark thoughts that had never existed before were constantly emerging, rising.
The original novel was fake.
That former scum A “Fu Chaoyun,” was actually not that bad.
They had the same face, voice, and even their pheromones were identical…
She knew that as an Alpha, she herself should also be good-looking.
Then.
Could there have been a moment when Pei Xuezhi, just like herself, just like this lifetime’s Pei Xuezhi facing her, also couldn’t resist this face and softened her heart?
Besides, the scum A wasn’t that scummy to begin with!
Fu Chaoyun sank into her own thoughts, and when Pei Xuezhi turned her head, she found her Alpha looking at her again.
The frequency with which the other party looked at her today was a bit high.
A bit abnormal.
Just as Pei Xuezhi was about to say something, Fu Chaoyun seemed to startle awake, her eyes looking at her, blazing.
The other party leaned closer, first gently touching the back of her hand with her fingertips, as if testing, then after confirming something, switched to her palm, completely enveloping hers.
Nuzzling, snuggling close.
Pei Xuezhi’s eyebrow quirked slightly.
The dark thoughts receded.
That momentary hesitation had destined Fu Chaoyun to lose the best opportunity to confess.
Now, no matter how many doubts, how much unwillingness, or perhaps anger… she could only swallow it all down.
At least Pei Xuezhi was innocent.
In her previous life, she had been unlucky enough to be entangled with such a troublesome person; she shouldn’t be so petty, she should be more magnanimous, even more magnanimous…
Taking a breath, Fu Chaoyun stared at Pei Xuezhi’s eyes again. The amber-like, limpid clarity overflowed in the beam of light, displaying endless seriousness, already seeming to have a blazing quality.
“I will be good to Zhizhi.”
The “Fu Chaoyun” from the previous life might not have been that bad, but Pei Xuezhi had already made it clear she didn’t like that person.
—She herself wasn’t willing to dwell on this aspect.
But since the scum A could pester from the past life to the present, it showed that the other party’s obsession with Pei Xuezhi was also not small.
It had even reached a point of causing trouble.
Perhaps the Fu Chaoyun in this body now was naturally soft-hearted and more inclined to consider others. Compared to feeling jealous or angry, she was more likely to put herself in the other’s position and think from their perspective.
…Or perhaps she was making excuses for the other party.
Especially when facing Fu Chaoyun, at this moment, pity and rationality ultimately gained the upper hand.
Some things couldn’t be explained; she could only comfort Pei Xuezhi in this way.
“From now on, I will always, always be good to Zhizhi.”
Pei Xuezhi was also looking at her.
This kind of statement seemed exceptionally serious, something that should rarely appear in Fu Chaoyun.
What happened?
Is there something she doesn’t know?
This was Pei Xuezhi’s first reaction. Immediately, she also chose to soothe—on this point, these two were indeed in sync, neither wanting the other to worry too much.
“Jiejie came to the company to see me and suddenly says something like this…” Pei Xuezhi paused, her brows slowly relaxing, and suddenly made a joke.
“Are you thinking of eating soft rice?”9
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Fu Chaoyun didn’t answer directly. She thought for a moment, then replied with equal seriousness, “I went to the hospital some time ago?”
“What?” Pei Xuezhi’s tone suddenly became tense.
The ship fuel10 for them online wasn’t just sweet, there was also angsty11 stuff.
CP Super Topics really harm people.
Fu Chaoyun: “The doctor said my stomach is bad, I can only eat soft rice.”
“…”
Pei Xuezhi, “Approved.”
After this round of banter passed, the two continued eating. This time, Fu Chaoyun finally stopped staring at Pei Xuezhi’s face while eating.
Neither of them had extremely clingy personalities, and besides, they were still at the company, using cafeteria trays—even the domineering CEO couldn’t escape this!
So they both ate their own food.
Until… an onion roll appeared in Fu Chaoyun’s tray.
Fu Chaoyun: O.O
Pei Xuezhi said lightly, “Didn’t Jiejie say she wanted to be good to me? Then let’s start with helping me eat this onion roll.”
Fu Chaoyun: “…”
Pei Xuezhi wasn’t actually a picky eater, and neither was Fu Chaoyun—but she really hated onions!
It wasn’t even like the company enforced a clean plate policy12; if you couldn’t finish it, you could just leave it.
Then she heard Pei Xuezhi say again, “Jiejie wouldn’t just be saying it, right?”
“…”
The bold words she had just uttered naturally couldn’t be taken back with a slapped face13.
At least not right now!
Thus, Fu Chaoyun could only, with tears in her eyes, eat this “love onion” that Pei Xuezhi had placed there.
The Alpha’s eyes were rimmed with red, looking extremely pitiful.
“Jiejie is so good~”
It was completely the tone used to coax a small child in kindergarten!
Mischievous domineering CEO!
“Then—”
“Want some more?”
Fu Chaoyun: “…”
Fu Chaoyun was thoroughly bullied. Even though it was just a meal, Pei Xuezhi ate with an air of satiation.
Now, pulling over a napkin, she gently wiped away the physiological tears welling at the corners of the Alpha’s eyes, her mood extremely pleasant.
“Jiejie,” she called again.
Fu Chaoyun was truly scared now.
When Pei Xuezhi first started calling her “Jiejie,” it was clearly very enjoyable. But gradually, it had turned into a signal: whenever Pei Xuezhi wanted to do something “bad,” she would be particularly diligent in calling her “Jiejie.”
It had become a kind of signal, with a 50% chance of being accompanied by some pain, even though it would ultimately turn into a sweet interaction.
Pei Xuezhi’s napkin wiped towards the other’s lips, pressing against the Alpha’s crimson lips, her fingertips applying a little pressure.
Restrained yet alluring.
“If Jiejie has anything to say, you can tell me directly. No need to beat around the bush14 with hints.”
The Alpha looked up, the corners of her eyes red, a result of the spiciness from those onion slices earlier, looking pitiful.
Also a result of Pei Xuezhi’s handiwork.
“Can I say anything?”
“Of course.”
The Alpha showed a hesitant expression, then after a moment, seemed to have made some kind of decision.
“…En?”
Pei Xuezhi leaned her ear closer. The other person also lowered her voice, and one could vaguely hear only the two words “tonight.”
Pei Xuezhi: “…………”
The domineering CEO Pei’s expression remained composed. She frowned slightly, looking at the pitiful, bullied Alpha.
Her fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop.
She couldn’t hold back her smile.
“Jiejie—”
She pressed her head, her long hair flowing down, revealing a touch of red at the base of her ear.
Like a winter plum blossom in the snow.
Rare and precious.
“I think, for just this, you don’t need to be particularly cautious and careful when telling me… right?”
