Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 133

True Face.

—There were some things that the three of them were all well aware of in their hearts​¹.

Pei Xuezhi tilted her head slightly.

            

While avoiding the other person’s touch, she also retreated to a relatively safe position.

But her gaze and even her voice did not relax for a moment, and were even cold.

“Don’t call me that.”

            

“She can call you that, but I can’t?!”

This time, Chi Guisi was completely enraged, the emotions on her face could no longer be suppressed, and it seemed as if sparks were erupting and flickering in the depths of her eyes.

Pei Xuezhi was not afraid in the slightest, meeting the other person’s eyes directly, “Yes.”

            

In a situation where her freedom was restricted, she fearlessly provoked a beast that could go berserk at any moment.

Without considering the consequences.

“Being called that by you only disgusts me.”

            

The anger on the Alpha’s face intensified.

Pei Xuezhi met it head-on, her gaze burning, “So, you want to hit me again?”

This sentence was like a button; the moment it was uttered, the furious aura around Chi Guisi gradually subsided.

            

“So that’s what you thought…”

She even smiled, then turned to Pei Xuezhi with the gentle emotion of a lover.

“Xuezhi,” she called again.

            

“I love you the most.”

“How could I possibly hit you?”

Every word and every sound was a pampering temptation. Noticing Pei Xuezhi’s resistance, the Alpha chose to settle for second best​² and tried to touch Pei Xuezhi’s hair.

            

However, Pei Xuezhi avoided it again.

—Is she remaining chaste for that person to such an extent?!

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chi Guisi’s eyes, but she ultimately suppressed it forcefully. “Our previous life together was very good, otherwise I wouldn’t have kept looking for you until now. You’ve just been confused by some strange things. You’re so smart, you must have sensed it too, right? Some parts of your memories from our past life that don’t add up…”

            

“What things?” Pei Xuezhi asked.

A fierce look crossed Chi Guisi’s face, quickly hidden again. “That’s not important.”

She said affectionately.

            

“Xuezhi, come back, come back to my side. I don’t mind that you had a past with that person. Let’s go back to how things were before. I’ll help you remember things from our past life.”

Pei Xuezhi: “Are you referring to those memories of you humiliating me?”

The Alpha was extremely agitated, “I already said, those are fake! Why won’t you believe me?!”

            

“That person appeared wearing my shell, and you forgave her, even—”

Mentioning this, her azure eyes suddenly turned red, “—even allowed her to mark you. Why can’t I?”

A look of pain appeared on Chi Guisi’s face.

            

Pei Xuezhi saw it all, but there was not the slightest ripple in her heart; instead, there was absolute rationality.

“Let me correct one point.”

The Alpha looked over.

            

As she spoke now, the hoarseness in Pei Xuezhi’s voice had completely faded, making her sound even colder and more impersonal. “My initial rejection of her was thanks to what you did in our past life.”

“That was all fake! Fake!!!”

The Alpha began to rage furiously. Pei Xuezhi quietly watched her like this and suddenly let out a light laugh.

            

“You now look exactly like the person in my memories.”

Chi Guisi’s movements paused.

Pei Xuezhi’s laugh turned into a sneer, “Seeing you like this now, how am I supposed to believe you?”

            

A light sentence, yet it stabbed the other person in their most painful spot.

Quickly.

Chi Guisi composed her expression, returning to that polite and courteous appearance, but her azure eyes were exceptionally affectionate, now deeply fixed on Pei Xuezhi.

            

Pei Xuezhi truly lived up to her reputation as the epitome of cold and unfeeling; with just a slight turn of her head, she avoided the other’s gaze, which was so stubborn it was almost cloying.

“I’m hungry.”

“Go get something to eat, and water.”

            

She had been drugged and abducted by Chi Guisi in the afternoon while discussing a collaboration with another group.

She had slept for nearly eight hours since then. Pei Xuezhi hadn’t had a drop of water. She could eat less food, but not drinking water was out of the question.

Pei Xuezhi’s demeanor was not at all like that of a prisoner; on the contrary, she was bossy and imperious​³. However, the person who was ruthless and tyrannical in her memories didn’t get angry, but instead placated her good-naturedly.

            

“Okay, okay, you love French foie gras the most. I’ll have my people prepare it for you, alright?”

Pei Xuezhi remained noncommittal.

After Chi Guisi gave the instructions, seeing that the other person was still in the room, Pei Xuezhi said again, “You go out too.”

            

She was pushing her luck​⁴.

Chi Guisi didn’t move.

“I want some quiet time.” Seeing the other person still not moving, Pei Xuezhi provoked, “What, you’ve already tied me up in your territory, and you’re still worried I’ll try some trick to escape?”

            

The way she looked at the other person was as if she were looking at a cowardly good-for-nothing.

Of course, the Alpha couldn’t stand being provoked like this. Finally, Chi Guisi slowly backed out, giving Pei Xuezhi some personal space.

---

Chi Guisi retreated.

            

Pei Xuezhi, however, was far from relieved.

Because she didn’t know if there were surveillance cameras filming here, or if the one who went out was constantly watching.

Pei Xuezhi remained on the bed, covered with a quilt from the waist down, her upper body propped up against the headboard.

            

Her gaze quietly and slowly swept around the surroundings.

She was assessing her current environment.

The decoration was magnificent, with a large, transparent bathroom fully equipped with facilities. Everything in the room was designed for comfort. Adding to that, the person earlier mentioned that the kitchen here could prepare dishes like French foie gras. Since Chi Guisi was trying to curry favor with her now, the quality provided would naturally not be poor…

            

Therefore, this was very likely a hotel.

Pei Xuezhi quickly began to analyze which hotel it might be.

She originally didn’t know these things. In her limited memories of her past life, she was imprisoned by that scumbag in the Fu family home.

            

But in this life, due to the change in her life’s trajectory, thanks to her newly acknowledged, convenient mother, Madam Feng, the company previously had a hotel project. Pei Xuezhi had crammed a lot of knowledge in this area and was quite familiar with several existing star-rated hotels in Rong City.

Now, comparing them one by one with her impressions, it wasn’t any of the ones she knew.

Perhaps they’ve already left Rong City in this short amount of time?

            

Pei Xuezhi immediately dismissed this speculation.

She had an appointment to meet Fu Chaoyun today. She wasn’t the type to be late without sending a single message. Fu Chaoyun must already know her situation by now; it was impossible for the other party not to take any action.

As her lover, Pei Xuezhi knew very well that her Alpha only seemed lazy and unconcerned about many things, but once it involved something she cared about, she was absolutely serious.

            

One more point.

The decorative lamp on the ceiling—this model hadn’t been tested and launched on the market yet; it was currently a special supply for Rong City.

So, she should currently be in a hotel with facilities that were not yet open for business. To be able to rent it in advance, the behind-the-scenes operator had a good relationship with Chi Guisi or the Wilson family she belonged to.

            

Summarizing these key points, Pei Xuezhi already had a guess in her mind.

Soon.

Chi Guisi returned, presenting Pei Xuezhi with an exceptionally rich array of dishes, all of which were exquisitely prepared Western cuisine.

            

It was worth mentioning that Chi Guisi personally brought in and arranged all these dishes, not relying on anyone else.

Perhaps it was to display her own safety and thoughtfulness, or perhaps it was for secrecy, to cut off her contact with other people.

After all, for this kind of thing, the fewer people who knew, the better.

            

Pei Xuezhi had no time to guess the other’s thoughts. Since the other party brought it up, she started eating. In this situation, she first had to maintain her mental and physical strength.

The Alpha sat opposite her. Although cutlery was also placed in front of her, she barely touched it, only staring fixedly at Pei Xuezhi eating.

Pei Xuezhi’s eating movements were very natural, not pursuing so-called meticulousness or nobility, even fluid, yet the details of her actions revealed an indescribable elegance, as if she were naturally well-bred.

            

Speaking of which, Pei Xuezhi’s family background was merely average, but whether before or after rebirth, whether she married into the Fu family or not, she was always like this, seemingly self-taught in certain matters.

Chi Guisi propped her head up and smiled, “I thought Xuezhi would only start eating after seeing me eat it myself.”

“Is that useful?” Pei Xuezhi’s expression was cold. “In this situation, if you wanted to put something in the food, do you think I could stop you?”

            

“Of course, you could,” Chi Guisi replied naturally. “Even as an Omega, you are still Pei Xuezhi.”

Pei Xuezhi didn’t even bother to respond to her. The Alpha smiled again, seemingly trying to prove that she was different from the scumbag in Pei Xuezhi’s memories. “Of course, I wouldn’t treat you like that.”

Then, she emphasized helplessly and bitterly, “Xuezhi, all your memories of our past life are fake. How could I…”

            

Pei Xuezhi, however, couldn’t be bothered to listen to the other party’s glib talk​⁵.

It wasn’t that she was completely unconcerned about her past life with the other party; after all, the pain those memories brought her was real. If it were when she had just been reborn, she would definitely have sought revenge against the other party at all costs, to make them pay the price.

But all negative emotions can be diminished by warmth.

            

By now, she didn’t want to hear the other party pour out their heart; she just wanted to resolve this trouble for Fu Chaoyun. This was also the main reason she was here, in front of the other party.

She had also eaten her fill. Stopping, she looked at the other person, “So, you were indeed the one behind the previous two incidents.”

“Yes,” Chi Guisi’s posture was lax, without a trace of shame, but her eyes were full of emotion. “My Xuezhi guessed everything. So smart.”

            

Although Pei Xuezhi had told the other party not to call her that, Chi Guisi still did as she pleased​⁶. Pei Xuezhi didn’t correct her again.

It was not worth wasting more words with the other party on such matters.

“Why?” Pei Xuezhi asked calmly.

            

“Why?”

Chi Guisi also looked over, murmuring these two words, even smiling gently, her gaze deep and distant. The next second, it all transformed into ferocity!

“Because I am unwilling, jealous, furious… so dissatisfied I’m about to explode!”

            

“I know, with my Xuezhi’s personality, even if you have a good impression of this person, once she has a relationship with someone else, there’s no possibility with you anymore. An AO’s pheromones and susceptible periods are instinctual. Isn’t it great to use this simple and clear point to resolve a target?”

Pei Xuezhi: “What about the person you used?”

Chi Guisi sneered, “That male Omega from the dating show was greedy for benefits, he did it willingly. As for that rich young lady later… there was no other way.”

            

She let out a soft sigh.

“Zhizhi doesn’t like me, so that shell couldn’t be used anymore. Then let it serve its last bit of value before being scrapped. One can only say she was rather unlucky.”

“She was indeed unlucky.” Pei Xuezhi thought of how Mi Shan looked when she and Fu Chaoyun went to her home. “You brought her a lot of trouble.”

            

At that time, Fu Chaoyun had sensed something fishy. When the susceptible period first broke out, she had left Mi Shan a way out, and later, during the visit, she didn’t pursue the matter.

The so-called exchange of benefits was, on one hand, that the other party had indeed caused them trouble, so compensation was normal; on the other hand, it was also paying money to buy the other party peace of mind.

“So what?”

            

Chi Guisi was disdainful, her sneer becoming more pronounced, her gaze still fixed intently on Pei Xuezhi.

Brightly, like fire, crazily…

“…”

            

Pei Xuezhi looked up.

Chi Guisi’s gaze towards her became deeper and more entangling.

As if saying, admit it, admit it.

            

Her voice also grew dimmer, tinged with a crazed laugh.

“Indifferent, selfish, self-centered, and completely unconcerned about the feelings of others—why should you care? They are all just insignificant existences.”

“My Xuezhi, should also be like this! I know it all, I’m very clear, so in front of me, you don’t need to pretend at all.”

            

“We are the same kind of person!”

One sentence, revealing Pei Xuezhi’s truest self.

Writer’s block—I even want to skip this plot segment and go straight to writing sweet extras _(:з”∠)_

Extras are good, extras are wonderful, extras at least have a minimum guarantee.
