Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 28.2
by Little PandaMy Zhizhi
Fu Chaoyun: !!!
Such ruthlessness – that was definitely something Madam Fu would do!
“Though I don’t recommend you do the same. That girl seems very outstanding, perhaps too outstanding… You should win her over gradually, let her slowly open her heart to you.”
Suddenly hearing such wife-pursuing secrets, Fu Chaoyun’s mind exploded. She hadn’t thought that far ahead, and now her tongue was tied in knots.
“We… we haven’t reached that stage yet…”
“Is that so?” Gu Huaiyi smiled without pressing further. “Anyway, if you like her, go for it. I’ll help you handle your mother’s side.”
“Dad!” Fu Chaoyun exclaimed in embarrassment, “We’re not moving that fast.”
“I know, I know…” Gu Huaiyi was smiling at first, but suddenly turned serious as he looked at Fu Chaoyun.
His eyes were the same amber color as Fu Chaoyun’s, or rather, Fu Chaoyun inherited his eyes. They had that natural warmth when looking at people, but once serious, matters became solemn.
“Ah Yun, I hope you’re serious this time.”
Fu Chaoyun opened her mouth but couldn’t respond.
ใHoly crap!ใ
ใFu Chaoyun’s parents have already given their approval, and her father-in-law explicitly offered to help. Looking at Mother Fu’s expression, she’s completely under Father Fu’s influence, so there probably won’t be any issues.ใ
ใLooking forward to Pei Xuezhi marrying into a wealthy family.ใ
ใThis is moving too fast, too fast…ใ
ใWell, don’t get too excited yet, who knows if Pei Xuezhi will agree?ใ
ใBut what did Father Fu mean by that last sentence?ใ
After finishing the heart-to-heart talk with his child, Gu Huaiyi got up and left to accompany Madam Fu.
Afternoon.
The middle-aged couple was being sweet and affectionate in the garden, leaving Fu Chaoyun alone in the living room, playing games on an ultra-large curved screen.
ใNow I understand why Fu Chaoyun is so good at flirting.ใ
ใWith parents like that, watching and learning every day, I could do it too!ใ
ใRich, open-minded parents, good upbringing… wouldn’t marrying into the Fu family be absolute bliss?ใ
ใYes, yes, yes, I’d be the first to advise Pei Xuezhi to agree! Don’t be foolish! (dog head)ใ
Fu Chaoyun couldn’t see these comments, but around two or three in the afternoon, Fu Lingfeng came home briefly to retrieve some documents.
Fu Lingfeng was in a hurry when she returned, but while going downstairs, she heard game sounds from the living room and discovered Fu Chaoyun hiding there.
She raised an eyebrow, “You’re back?”
Fu Chaoyun, who had just died in her game, raised her hand at her, “I can move around freely during the day now.”
Fu Lingfeng laughed, “Like prison yard time, huh?”
Fu Lingfeng’s face shared about seventy percent similarity with Fu Chaoyun’s, perfectly inheriting Madam Fu and Gu Huaiyi’s best features – they were all exceptionally attractive.
However, Fu Chaoyun’s face was more vibrant, and combined with her lazy, casual demeanor, she appeared more flamboyant; her elder sister Fu Lingfeng was more serious, carrying herself with a CEO’s restrained dignity. Fu Lingfeng’s appearance caused a sensation, after all, while their parents’ love story was fascinating to follow, they were already married, leaving no chance for viewers.
When the young CEO smiled, the danmu comments exploded.
ใOne minute, I want this woman’s complete profile!ใ
ใSo this is Fu Chaoyun’s sister, the one inheriting the family business? She must be an alpha, ahhh sister I’m available!ใ
Fu Lingfeng looked back and noticed the cameraman, “Filming on location?”
“Mm-hmm,” Fu Chaoyun responded lazily, “Why don’t you say hi to the livestream viewers~”
Fu Lingfeng wasn’t much of a talker; hearing this, she merely looked at the camera, gave a slight nod, and considered that greeting enough.
“So cold, young CEO~” Fu Chaoyun wouldn’t let it go, “Why don’t you introduce yourself too?”
“No need.”
Fu Lingfeng was concise. She turned her gaze back to Fu Chaoyun, her voice cool, “I’m not like certain people who need to attract attention to show off.”
With that, Fu Lingfeng turned and left, leaving Fu Chaoyun standing there stunned.
“……”
ใHaha sister is so cool, Fu Chaoyun got owned!ใ
ใSlightly less intimidating than Madam Fu, but I really love this CEO attitude, I’m available!ใ
ใFrom today on, Fu Chaoyun is my little sister, please call me sister-in-lawใ
ใHelp, everyone can bully her, Fu Chaoyun’s family status is really low, no wonder she’s so fierce on the show.ใ
ใThe more you lack something, the more you try to show it off (dog emoji)ใ
ใI request Pei Xuezhi come comfort our Ah Yun.ใ
ใSeconded!!!ใ
After Fu Lingfeng left, the livestream’s popularity remained high. The cameraman gave Fu Chaoyun a gesture.
Fu Chaoyun could guess what kind of comments were flooding the livestream. Since she was close with Wen Wan, she quickly moved to nip this in the bud.
“Type 0 if you want to be my sister-in-law.”
ใ00000…ใ
Instantly, the danmu was filled with “0”s, not a single “1” in sight.
After three seconds, Fu Chaoyun added, “Don’t even think about it.”
ใ????ใ
“The person you just saw got married young, so there’s no chance.”
ใWow, I’m crying so hard!ใ
ใNo way! I can wait! I want to see which vixen stole my future wife’s heart!ใ
ใI refuse to accept this, I refuse, I refuse…ใ
Around four in the afternoon, Wen Wan appeared on camera. Fu Chaoyun immediately called her “sister-in-law” and introduced her to the viewers.
“See?”
Wen Wan was familiar with the livestream and knew the relationships between people, but she didn’t stay in the livestream constantly and didn’t understand Fu Chaoyun’s sudden behavior. However, being gentle-natured, she played along.
“Is Ah Yun greeting the danmu comments?” As she spoke, she also looked at the camera, unlike Fu Lingfeng’s aloof manner, she smiled gracefully while greeting the viewers.
“Hello everyone~”
Everyone in the Fu family was attractive, including Wen Wan who married into the family. But like Gu Huaiyi, she had the kind of beauty that wasn’t aggressive – the more you looked, the more appealing and beautiful she became.
ใSo this is sister-in-law?ใ
ใWow, sister-in-law is amazing too, she must be an omega, alpha-omega relationships are the best!ใ
ใFine, I accept defeat gracefully. I approve of this marriage, wishing sister and sister-in-law eternal happiness~ *crying*ใ
“Ah Yun, you’ll be returning to the show’s villa tonight, right?” Wen Wan asked.
“Yes.”
Fu Chaoyun nodded obediently.
Both omegas in the family had excellent temperaments – whether it was Father Gu or sister-in-law Wen Wan, Fu Chaoyun got along with them very well. It was only when meeting Madam Fu and Fu Lingfeng that verbal sparring was inevitable.
Probably because alphas repel each other.
“I watched your livestream this morning. With just one car for six people who need to go to work and school, it’s not very convenient. Take my car that’s parked outside back with you. Having an extra vehicle will be useful.”
Before Fu Chaoyun could answer, Wen Wan continued.
“I left some things in the car, and bought some desserts from KM [brand name]. They taste good – share them with your new friends when you get back. I remember that girl who plays with you mentioned wanting to try them yesterday?”
Wen Wan smiled, “Ah Yun, keep your word, okay? This is perfect timing, you can go pick her up from school and head back together.”
Fu Chaoyun, having everything arranged for her: “……”
Danmu: ใAhh ahh ahh sister-in-law is so clever!ใ
Fu Chaoyun suddenly found herself expelled from home.
She looked up and sighed.
Ah!
To be honest, she felt conflicted.
Previously, when she was a scumbag alpha, she had visited Pei Xuezhi’s school several times, causing quite a commotion each time. Those incidents probably still lived on in people’s memories.
If she went again now…
ใDingโ Host, please pick up Pei Xuezhi alone and return to the villa.ใ
Fu Chaoyun: “…”
Well, no need to be conflicted anymore.
Fu Chaoyun skillfully accepted the mission while complaining to the system, ใYou warn me not to date the female lead, yet you give me missions like this, what exactly do you want?ใ
ใYou think I want this?!ใ The system was also aggrieved.
Fu Chaoyun had already gotten into the car Wen Wan prepared for her, started it, and drove off.
“What does this mean?” she asked.
She had to admit, sister-in-law Wen Wan was really thoughtful.
This car wasn’t one of those expensive brands from the Fu family garage, but rather seemed to be under Wen Wan’s own name – a mid-range commuter car with excellent comfort and suspension, prioritizing safety while maintaining a decent appearance.
Driving it wouldn’t damage Fu Chaoyun’s face, nor would it be too flashy.
The system went silent, playing dead.
But it was clearly too late – from that single line above, Fu Chaoyun could deduce quite a bit of information.
“The tasks aren’t directly issued by you – there’s a higher authority above you. You only exist in my head as a supervisor, and you can’t adjust task content based on current situations…”
Fu Chaoyun’s fingertips tapped lightly on the steering wheel. Suddenly, she gave a light laugh, “So you’re just a low-level worker too, huh?”
ใ&๏ฟฅ…ใ
The system’s grumbling echoes continued to resound inside the car.
Arriving at Rong University.
Not only had Fu Chaoyun attended this school herself, but when she was a scumbag alpha, she had flirted with many omegas here. Following her memories, she quickly found the building where Pei Xuezhi’s dormitory was located.
Whether it was because of the scumbag alpha’s notorious reputation that made everyone want to avoid her, or because of the cameraman and the show’s popularity, Fu Chaoyun attracted many turning heads along the way.
Since the system had assigned her to pick up Pei Xuezhi, she definitely hadn’t gone back by herself.
After waiting a while without seeing anyone, Fu Chaoyun was about to message Pei Xuezhi when she suddenly saw a familiar face from her memories.
“Wait,” she called out to that person, “You’re Pei Xuezhi’s roommate, right?”
Ying Yao stopped at the sound.
“Yes,” she responded softly, though her gaze toward Fu Chaoyun was quite complex, full of unspoken words.
Fu Chaoyun didn’t care about the internal drama of minor characters in the plot, and said directly, “Could you please ask Pei Xuezhi to come down?”
Ying Yao’s lips parted.
“What is it?” Suddenly, a cool voice sounded from behind.
Fu Chaoyun turned around and saw Pei Xuezhi’s beautiful yet cold face.
She seemed to have just finished class, and like Fu Chaoyun, had a cameraman following her – quite distinctive.
Upon seeing her, Fu Chaoyun finally smiled, “I was passing by and thought I’d pick you up to return to the show’s villa together.”
Pei Xuezhi nodded, her gaze shifting to the person beside Fu Chaoyun.
“Oh, I just happened to run into her. I remembered she was your roommate, and thinking you were upstairs, I was going to ask her to call you down,” Fu Chaoyun explained.
Pei Xuezhi withdrew her gaze, expression indifferent, “She’s no longer my roommate.”
Ying Yao had kept her head down since Pei Xuezhi appeared, as if trying to minimize her presence. Hearing this, she hurriedly said “Sorry to disturb you, I’ll go now,” then turned and left.
Her retreating figure was hurried and unsteady, more like fleeing.
“I see…” Fu Chaoyun didn’t ask further.
She remembered that in the original story, all of Pei Xuezhi’s roommates were bad people who spread various rumors online when she got into trouble, further damaging her reputation.
This time, because she had taken over the scumbag alpha’s role, everything had changed, and that scene never happened.
“Shall we… go back?” Fu Chaoyun tilted her head slightly to the side.
Pei Xuezhi: “Mm.”
Fu Chaoyun’s car couldn’t be parked directly below the dormitory building, so they had to walk some distance across campus. Their outstanding appearances, the following cameraman, and the lingering campus legends… all caused other students and teachers to turn and stare.
“Were you planning to rest in your dorm before heading back?” Fu Chaoyun asked casually, seemingly feeling a bit bored.
“No,” Pei Xuezhi said, “I was planning to go back directly.”
“Then?”
“I heard news that someone had appeared at school again.”
Fu Chaoyun suddenly stopped, turning to look at Pei Xuezhi, who looked back at her.
At four or five in the afternoon during summer, the heat hadn’t dissipated from the air, still carrying an unbearable scorching quality. Yet walking beside Pei Xuezhi somehow brought an inexplicable coolness.
But at this moment, the surrounding air began to grow sultry again.
Pei Xuezhi’s deep black eyes fell on Fu Chaoyun.
“Miss Fu,” she called out, her cool voice slightly drawn out, carrying an unusual lazy thickness, “You remembered to use your phone to contact me this morning, but forgot in the afternoon?”
“…”
Fu Chaoyun was left speechless by the retort.
She could have easily talked her way out of it with her silver tongue, but for some reason, the words of Gu Huaiyi and Wen Wanโespecially Gu Huaiyi’sโsuddenly echoed repeatedly in her mind.
It made her throat feel blocked, unable to say anything.
“Also.”
Pei Xuezhi’s gaze fell on Fu Chaoyun’s fair cheeks, trailing down to her snow-white neck, collarbone, limbs…
What should have been beautifully delicate skin now showed spots of redness due to the merciless summer sun, making this delicate alpha appear slightly flushed.
It seemed discordant, yet somehow strangely… more attractive…
“Walking in the sun like this, you’ll get sunburned.”
Pei Xuezhi shifted her gaze away, her voice as crisp as a clear spring in midsummer, “Does Miss Fu lack even basic common sense?”
!
Fu Chaoyun suddenly came to her senses and started looking around frantically.
“What is Miss Fu doing?” Pei Xuezhi couldn’t help but ask.
“Looking for a supermarket to buy an umbrella!” Fu Chaoyun answered as if it were obvious.
“……”
Pei Xuezhi fell silent for a moment.
She had a backpack with a parasol inside, but they’d been walking under covered walkways so far, so there was no need to open it.
Now…
Pei Xuezhi’s expression turned helpless, as if finally defeated, and she was about to reach for her backpackโ
Fu Chaoyun suddenly grabbed her wrist.
In an instant, scorching body heat poured down like hot oil, impossible to avoid, directly burning Pei Xuezhi’s skin where they touched.
The next second.
She was pulled into a run by Fu Chaoyun.
It was inexplicable… uncontrollable… her feet just followed along, and gradually, it wasn’t Fu Chaoyun pulling her anymore, but rather she was actively matching the other’s pace.
The burning sensation branded on her wrist was impossible to ignore, yet what was even more irresistible was Fu Chaoyun turning back to smile at her while they ran together.
Light filtered through gaps in the tree shade, some of it scattered across Fu Chaoyun’s slightly reddened yet beautiful skin; some dancing on her soft chestnut-colored hair; the rest falling into her eyes, slowly gathering into an ocean of stars.
Her eye corners curved upward, amber and warm.
The delicate alpha lacked common sense and wasn’t good at physical activity either, becoming breathless after just a few steps, yet her voice remained remarkably clear and warm.
“Hurry, my Zhizhi absolutely can’t get sunburned.”
Good genes indeed!!
