Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 23
by Little PandaPei Xuezhi calls her: Sister Yun~
What’s happening?
Before Fu Chaoyun could react, Pei Xuezhi’s voice came from beside her ear.
“The zombies have caught up with the main group, the girl in yellow clothes fell down, the zombies surrounded her, the rest of the main group is fighting back…”
“The lead zombie is hopping closer to the protagonist, moving very fast, here the camera gives a close-up of the lead zombie’s face… the makeup effects are pretty good, probably quite scary from your perspective, the lead zombie stretches out its stiff, pale hands about to grab the protagonist’s arm…”
Pei Xuezhi’s voice was cool [clear/detached] and rational as she narrated.
At this moment, to avoid disturbing others watching the movie, she inevitably lowered her voice somewhat, but her overall pronunciation remained clear, and instead became somewhat different due to that barely perceptible breathy quality.
Causing tingles…
Fu Chaoyun’s ears became slightly hot.
What is this~
Pei Xuezhi’s way of narrating was very straightforward, if this were on a horror story channel it would probably get spammed with “RNM refund!” [internet slang for βrefund my moneyβ], but for Fu Chaoyun it was just right.
Such a frightening zombie film, once retold by her, the horror level immediately dropped straight down.
Pei Xuezhi’s hand was still covering Fu Chaoyun’s eyes, blocking some “not suitable for children” scenes for this classmate who was a noob but loves to play [internet slang for someone who is bad at something but still enthusiastically tries].
As for Fu Chaoyun’s own hand, at some unknown time it had quietly withdrawn.
They were too close, and the light was dim, Fu Chaoyun couldn’t clearly see the lines on Pei Xuezhi’s palm;
In some sense, it was also somewhat far, after all, there was still about half a palm’s distance between eyes and palm.
But it felt strange.
Fu Chaoyun blinked, and for an instant had the illusion of eyelashes brushing against the other’s palm, and could even faintly feel waves of warmth coming from that hand…
Belonging to Pei Xuezhi, cool yet carrying a hint of warmth, not excessively hot or burning, just right for the current season.
Second time.
Pei Xuezhi covering her eyes like this…
“Alright.”
This scene finally ended, Pei Xuezhi said, lowering the hand that was in front of Fu Chaoyun.
She had been focused on narrating the movie plot to the other person, attention completely on the screen, only now turning her head and discovering.
Fu Chaoyun had stopped watching the movie at some unknown point, and instead was intently looking at her, both eyes bright and burning like flames even in the darkness, exceptionally bright.
Pei Xuezhi: …?
Fu Chaoyun, who was just shouting “so curious” and “really want to watch,” now seemed to have completely lost interest in the movie.
She reached out, right under Pei Xuezhi’s gaze, openly raised one finger and poked Pei Xuezhi’s arm.
The sensation was as expected, slightly cool yet carrying the softness characteristic of an omega’s body.
Perhaps due to the previous two times setting precedent, this time Pei Xuezhi was still somewhat uncomfortable, but her reaction wasn’t as strong as before.
“What are you doing?”
Fu Chaoyun spoke up, “Dingβ Audio narration function, start next chapter.”
“…”
Pei Xuezhi’s expression suddenly turned cold, “There isn’t any more.”
“I won’t accept that! I won’t accept that! Give me more~” Having just enjoyed the premium VIP service, how could Fu Chaoyun bear to give it up? She hurriedly clung to Pei Xuezhi and acted cute.
Pei Xuezhi ignored her.
“Zhizhi~ Little Sister Xuezhi~ You’re the best, please please…” Fu Chaoyun continued to cling.
Pei Xuezhi thought for the first time, it was all an illusion!
This wasn’t a clingy adorable cat at all, but clearly a chattering sparrow, very annoying.
At this moment her other hand was still holding the popcorn bucket, and being bothered by Fu Chaoyun to the point where she couldn’t take it anymore, she couldn’t help but grab a piece and stuff it into the mouth of this cat who was possessed by a sparrow spirit.
Instantly, Fu Chaoyun’s whole person seemed like someone had pressed the pause button.
This should quiet her down, right?
Pei Xuezhi thought.
That person wasn’t polite either, after the moment of surprise, her sharp teeth bit down, and the crisp sound characteristic of popcorn spread through the space.
Crunch crunch, afterwards, Fu Chaoyun lightly pressed her lips together, as if still savoring the taste.
“It’s sweet,” Fu Chaoyun said, her lip color was deep red, exceptionally beautiful.
What else would it be?
Clearly she had just eaten some herself.
“Zhizhi is so nice~” Fu Chaoyun said again.
Pei Xuezhi ignored her.
She thought this matter would end there, but unexpectedly after Fu Chaoyun finished one piece, she opened her mouth again, taking a righteous pose waiting to be fed.
“Ah~~~”
Pei Xuezhi: “……”
What a shameless alpha!
“Don’t you have hands?” Pei Xuezhi said coldly.
Fu Chaoyun actually covered her arm, making a pained expression like someone needing emergency treatment, “Ah, it hurts, I think I was bitten by a zombie, Doctor Pei, please save me.”
“It’s incurable, there’s no hope, just wait for death.” Pei Xuezhi sneered, directly delivering a Bian Que combo [reference to a famous ancient Chinese doctor], finally letting her gaze fall on Fu Chaoyun’s head.
She mocked, “Why didn’t the zombie eat your brain?”
Fu Chaoyun actually thought about it seriously before answering, “Perhaps… zombies don’t have the concept of collecting waste materials in their heads?”
“……”
Compared to Pei Xuezhi’s speechlessness, the livestream danmu section was much livelier.
γHAHAHAHAHA!γ
γFu Chaoyun will make me die of laughter someday!γ
γAre people nowadays trying this hard to please their wives? Even willing to mock themselves!γ
γZombie: Mind your own business, don’t blame everything on me! (zombie feeling wronged.jpg)γ
γOh~ Fu Chaoyun’s not watching the movie now?γ
γHey, use your toes to think about it, which is more important – watching a movie or pleasing your wife!γ
Pei Xuezhi’s mouth twitched slightly, “Well, I’m sorry, but I don’t collect garbage either.”
As she spoke, she pushed the popcorn bucket into Fu Chaoyun’s hands. Since someone’s attention wasn’t on the movie anymore, she didn’t need to look after her either.
“Pei Xuezhi,” Fu Chaoyun suddenly called out.
Pei Xuezhi ignored her.
“Zhizhi~”
“Little Sister Xuezhi~”
“Miss Pei~”
Fu Chaoyun kept calling out with a soft voice, trying different ways repeatedly, really like a cat acting cute, until Pei Xuezhi couldn’t stand the noise and had to turn around to glare at the cat.
“What do you want now?”
“Is there really no more?” Fu Chaoyun looked at her pitifully.
Pei Xuezhi maintained her usual cold and heartless persona.
“No…”
But just as she opened her mouth to say one word, she saw a blur of movement, and something was stuffed into her mouth, facing her was the alpha’s crafty smile of success.
The thing in her mouth had edges and corners, seemed a bit hard, but was crispy when bitten.
It was popcorn.
Fu Chaoyun moved closer, stopping precisely at the boundary of closeness, not entering Pei Xuezhi’s minefield [personal space].
She smiled with curved eyes, now not looking like a cat but like a little fox.
“Is it sweet?”
The texture of the popcorn melted between her teeth, perhaps bewitched by the curve of that person’s eyes, Pei Xuezhi unconsciously nodded once.
After doing so, she felt somewhat regretful.
“It’s not like you made this either.”
What was there to be proud of?
“I can make it!” As soon as someone said “can’t,” Fu Chaoyun immediately started whining again, “It’s just popcorn, not something particularly troublesome, Little~ Sister~ Xue~ Zhi~”
She deliberately dragged out her tone to emphasize, “I can cook, unlike certain people.”
“……”
Fu Chaoyun, the alpha proud of her cooking ability, and Pei Xuezhi, the omega who couldn’t cook at all.
“Oh, it’s fine if you can’t cook, as long as one person can do it,” Fu Chaoyun continued saying.
She thought for a moment, and finally picked a precise phrase to describe it, “Zhizhi can be a soft rice [εθ½―ι₯ literally means ‘eat soft rice’, idiom for being supported by someone else, usually with a negative connotation].”
Pei Xuezhi, who suddenly found herself relegated to being a soft rice: “……”
Pei Xuezhi had been exceptional since childhood, rejecting stereotypes between ABO genders, and with the successful implementation of the “Gender Regulations” in recent decades, there were no more voices saying alphas or omegas must be a certain way.
However, indeed most omegas would do laundry and cook, belonging to the virtuous wife and good mother category, part of which came from their own gland secretions, and some from personal interest.
Pei Xuezhi didn’t have this interest, but for the first time in her life felt somewhat ashamed about not knowing how to cook.
She had always been strong-willed, and pulled at the corner of her mouth to retort, “Then I must thank you very much.”
“You’re welcome~”
Fu Chaoyun seemed not to understand the sarcasm, as she spoke, she fed another piece towards Pei Xuezhi.
Pei Xuezhi glanced at her.
Perhaps the taste really was good, or maybe because this thing was made by Ni Jiaojiao, not by a certain alpha who was skilled at cooking, with the mindset of annoying that person, Pei Xuezhi still accepted being fed.
Then, one piece after another…
Finally, Pei Xuezhi couldn’t bear it anymore, “Is Miss Fu feeding a pig?”
Fu Chaoyun paused and looked up, responding almost instinctively, “Nonsense, where would you find such a beautiful pig?”
“……”
But that’s still calling me a pig?!
Pei Xuezhi couldn’t let it go, and grabbed several pieces to put at Fu Chaoyun’s mouth, forcefully pushing her headβ
“Eat!”
Her tone and expression were more like feeding someone their last meal before execution (…).
Fu Chaoyun didn’t mind, holding Pei Xuezhi’s hand while eating slowly piece by piece, and in doing so their bodies inevitably touched, their body temperatures intertwining.
Making Pei Xuezhi seem not so cold anymore.
At this moment, no one was paying attention to the movie’s plot anymore, including Jian Yi who was secretly observing from the side.
γAhhh the head-pushing I wanted wasn’t this kind, I want them to push heads together for a kiss ahhhh!!!γ
γI’m just a street dog, I’m here for the red-eye disease drama! [refers to jealousy]γ
γThe head-pushing squad sincerely summons our leader, Student! Jian! Yi!γ
γNever mind, Jian Yi has it tough too…γ
γNot the cuddling we imagined, but this is fine too?γ
γActually, this is already quite good now, before their relationship had dropped to freezing point with almost no contact… Sigh, I feel like I’ve been PUA’d [manipulated to lower expectations].γ
γAhhh my expression is just like Jian Yi’s now, an Auntie! Style! Smile!γ
γSo childish, really so childish!γ
γThe scariest part is, Pei Xuezhi was originally such a rational and cool person, yet she can instantly be brought down to Fu Chaoyun’s intelligence level, and finally be defeated by the other’s rich experience (just kidding)γ
γMore, give us more, I could watch this kind of show for a whole year!γ
γHorror movie: In the end, I was betrayed.γ
γNo! Your sacrifice was valuable, you provided excellent groundwork for the development of their relationship!γ
γAt this point… Fu Chaoyun should kowtow to thank Qi Changfeng’s couple, right?γ
γAbsolutely no problem!γ
γQi Changfeng, it’s him again!γ
γKey Person Β· Qi Changfeng 2333 [internet slang for laughing]γ
γHahaha the funniest part is, while this side is developing rapidly, over there Qi Changfeng is still being timid and hesitant, completely unaware of the correct way to watch horror movies!γ
γSuch a good alpha, how pitiful~γ
While the comment section was celebrating like it was New Year’s, Pei Xuezhi finally realized her behavior was somewhat excessively stupid.
Her fingertip was still holding a piece of popcorn when she suddenly paused, because they had already been feeding each other for a while, and now Fu Chaoyun naturally brought her head closer, catching it with her mouth, making crunching sounds.
While eating, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Pei Xuezhi’s heart trembled slightly.
That alpha seemed unaware, but just now when she leaned over, her lip corner had accidentally brushed against her fingertip.
Fingertips are naturally cooler than lips, and since Pei Xuezhi’s body temperature was already somewhat lower than normal people’s, the contrast was even more obvious, instantly triggering a shiver.
Pei Xuezhi almost instinctively withdrew her hand quickly, while Fu Chaoyun’s beautiful eyes looked over, still puzzled.
Feeling flustered, Pei Xuezhi could only completely push the popcorn bucket into the other’s arms, saying coldly.
“I’m finished eating.”
“Don’t want anymore?” Fu Chaoyun asked.
Pei Xuezhi pressed her lips together, “…Don’t want any.”
“Oh.”
Fu Chaoyun seemed not to mind, and since the movie plot was now normal and not scary, she continued watching while holding the popcorn.
After a while, probably because she had missed some of the plot and wasn’t as absorbed as before, Fu Chaoyun seemed to get bored and asked again.
“Does Zhizhi like sweet things?”
Pei Xuezhi didn’t answer.
Fu Chaoyun assumed she hadn’t heard or was distracted, and called again, “…Zhizhi?”
Pei Xuezhi finally responded slowly, “It’s okay.”
Her voice was much colder than before, retreating into her shell again, but Fu Chaoyun didn’t mind this turtle’s inconsistency, and nodded as if taking it seriously.
“Then I’ll make tiramisu for you tomorrow.”
Pei Xuezhi didn’t speak.
“Zhizhi, will you eat it?” Fu Chaoyun asked again.
Pei Xuezhi turned her head to look at the person beside her. Perhaps feeling somewhat full, Fu Chaoyun had stopped eating popcorn and was now looking at her, those eyes always particularly bright.
For reasons unclear, Pei Xuezhi felt anger rising in her heart.
Why did this person have the right to approach her again and again, and do it so righteously, so boldly, so openly?
While she herself could only avoid and run away when facing her…?
This wasn’t fair.
Pei Xuezhi thought.
It shouldn’t be like this, with the other person completely controlling the initiative. At least, at least she shouldn’t appear completely passive.
Thinking of this, Pei Xuezhi’s black eyes gradually lit up with light, like a spark, instantly ignited in her eyes, rising, finally developing into a prairie fire.
Since the other person voluntarily delivered themselves…
Pei Xuezhi said: “I’ll eat it.”
βFu Chaoyun delivered herself, why shouldn’t she dare to accept!
“Alright then.” Fu Chaoyun remained unaware.
The next second, Pei Xuezhi moved closer, taking the initiative to… reach out with her delicate hand to brush away the long hair falling on Fu Chaoyun’s shoulder.
Now it was Fu Chaoyun’s turn to freeze completely.
The beautiful person’s voice near her ear was slightly low, each word striking against the eardrum, stirring the soul.
“Actually, you can add a little more sugar.”
“…Huh?!”
Fu Chaoyun, being critically hit by close-range beauty, had her brain slow down, “But- but didn’t you just say it was just okay?”
Merely escaping is useless, it only makes the hunter think the prey is fearful, is scared, and instead makes them pursue more closely, squeezing out the last bit of survival space.
This won’t do.
She was someone who had lived through this once before, she was more experienced, mature, and even ruthless than the other person!
Because of the extra experience from rebirth, she understood Fu Chaoyun very well, could predict every psychological change, every step of their plans and schemes…
So, why should she be afraid? Why should she retreat?
The one who should feel fear should clearly be that person!
Pei Xuezhi maintained her previous posture, bravely meeting the challenge. She tucked Fu Chaoyun’s strand of hair behind her ear, smiled gently, then lifted her headβ
The dim light created endless ambiguity, from this angle, Pei Xuezhi’s face appeared like a sculptor’s most perfect work, exquisite and flawless, that appearance was particularly bewitching, almost irresistible.
“What’s wrong?”
Her lowered voice was even more like seductive silk threads, drilling into Fu Chaoyun’s eardrums, splitting into two paths going up and down, meant to disturb Fu Chaoyun’s heart and head.
No.
Not just disturb, but to crush, destroy, and reclaim!
“Am I not allowed to try new things?”
If she comes, then she dares to meet the challenge!
Waves rippled in her dark eyes, like a stone thrown into the sea – beneath the calm surface, thousands of waves had been stirred up, truly a shocking tempest.
Pei Xuezhi tilted her head, smiling even more beautifully, “Or… is ‘Sister Yun’ planning to go back on her word?”
…The horn of counterattack had sounded.
