    Trembling

    Pei Xuezhi was naturally aloof and distant.

    Due to her outstanding achievements since childhood, this heaven-favored daughter inevitably carried an air of distinguished pride.

    Recently, as their relationship progressed, Pei Xuezhi would occasionally take initiative, though her demeanor always maintained an awkward restraint, like a standoffish cat finally willing to lower its head and allow its most trusted human to pet it.

    But it was just petting, nothing more.

    Such passionate, uninhibited, self-offering behavior from Pei Xuezhi was unprecedented.

    Fu Chaoyun had never seen her like this before.

    Not long after they moved to the bathroom, the air was once again filled with pheromones.

    One light sniff revealed nothing but rich fragrance.

    โ€œJiejieโ€ฆโ€

    The omega before her called out with a coquettish tone, her crimson lips alluring, her eyes rippling with desire, even her clear voice carried traces of seduction.

    Her hands hooked around the otherโ€™s neck, practically offering her entire being. Fu Chaoyun needed only to lower her head slightly to kiss her.

    Then she could ravish those crimson, pitiful lips as she pleased!

    Fu Chaoyunโ€™s amber eyes seemed bewitched, losing their usual clarity.

    The next second.

    As Pei Xuezhi attempted to go further, she tilted her head back, creating some distance between them.

    โ€œNo.โ€

    The alphaโ€™s voice was hoarse, lacking its usual playful softness, yet carrying the last remnants of rationality and sobriety.

    Pei Xuezhi froze.

    For a moment, her expression turned extremely pitiful, mixed with the awkward embarrassment of rejection.

    She had gone this far, yet in this situation, the alpha could still choose to refuse?

    She certainly didnโ€™t believe she lacked even a hint of charm, and though she knew Fu Chaoyun might not like her that much, butโ€ฆ

    Was the gap between them really that wide?

    The sweet grapefruit scent in the air suddenly gained a bitter note.

    Fu Chaoyun noticed this.

    She sighed internally, moved closer to gently stroke the omegaโ€™s loose hair, softening her voice to comfort and soothe.

    โ€œWe canโ€™t, Zhizhi, people will find out.โ€

    As a transmigrator, Fu Chaoyunโ€™s understanding of this worldโ€™s ABO three genders wasnโ€™t very deep, but after several months, combined with the original hostโ€™s memories, she knew quite a bit.

    After an alpha marks an omega, they leave their pheromone scent on the other person, declaring to other alphas that this omega belongs to them, warning others against coveting them!

    Once pheromones are injected into an omegaโ€™s glands, they will be emitted by the omegaโ€™s glands, and this cannot be completely erased even with the strongest suppressants.

    Moreover, this scent can be detected by both alphas and omegas.

    At that time, if they went downstairs, everyone in the villa โ€“ guests and staff alike โ€“ would know that Pei Xuezhi had been marked by her. Moreover, Pei Xuezhi still had to go to school, encountering even more people along the wayโ€ฆ

    ใ€ŠHeart Flutterใ€‹ stipulated that guests could push boundaries, but only on the 33rd and final day could they formally declare their feelings, at which point the other party could choose to accept or reject forming a couple. [LP: Forgot the name of the show, Iโ€™ll edit it later]

    But now, with about two-thirds of the showโ€™s timeline passed, it was too soon.

    Once this marking was branded, it would affect both of them, but most crucially, it would affect Pei Xuezhi.

    She was already a certified โ€œscumbag alphaโ€, her reputation ruined once before, but Pei Xuezhi had always maintained her image as an aloof fairy-like figure. If something like this got outโ€ฆ

    It wouldnโ€™t be good for her.

    Thus, even though the glands on her neck were burning hot and throbbing wildly, Fu Chaoyun still suppressed her desires.

    She could certainly act freely following the omegaโ€™s invitation โ€“ after all, she was an alpha, and such matters would barely affect her. But Pei Xuezhi, her dearest Zhizhi, how would she face others after regaining clarity?

    Would she regret it? Would she hate her? Would she become distant because of it?

    Fu Chaoyun dared not gamble on any of these possibilities.

    So even when Pei Xuezhi drew close again, Fu Chaoyun still firmly refused her.

    Pei Xuezhi felt even more distressed.

    As an omega, her current discomfort would only increase compared to Fu Chaoyunโ€™s, the corners of her eyes burning red.

    โ€œBe good~โ€

    Fu Chaoyun couldnโ€™t bear it anymore, softening her voice as she lowered her head to place a kiss on her eyelid, trying to divert her thoughts and distract her attention.

    โ€œHow did Zhizhi reject me when we first met?โ€

    Pei Xuezhiโ€™s consciousness briefly returned, past memories floating before her eyes.

    โ€œItโ€™sโ€ฆ itโ€™s differentโ€ฆโ€

    Back then, she had just been reborn and felt only disgust toward Fu Chaoyun, but now โ€“ she had surrendered completely, willingly capitulating [cease to resist].

    Seeing her like this, Fu Chaoyunโ€™s heart melted incredibly, but for Pei Xuezhiโ€™s sake, she could only continue suppressing herself, placing gentle kisses all over her cheeks, using these small sweet gestures to comfort her.

    โ€œThink again, Zhizhi, what did I say to you back then?โ€

    Even at such a moment, though Pei Xuezhiโ€™s mind was clear, it felt like a tangled mess, requiring careful unraveling to find that tiny trace in the corner of her memory.

    โ€œAn alphaโ€ฆ an alpha needs to protect themselves even more when outsideโ€ฆ?โ€

    โ€œZhizhi is so clever.โ€

    After saying this, Fu Chaoyunโ€™s kisses had reached Pei Xuezhiโ€™s temples.

    As if rewarding her, she leaned back slightly, suddenly taking Pei Xuezhiโ€™s earlobe into her mouth. The latter let out a whimper as the alphaโ€™s actions changed from gentle holding to tender licking.

    โ€œThe same words apply to Zhizhi too โ€“ an omega must take care of themselves when out, donโ€™t be deceived by bad alphas!โ€

    In this situation, Pei Xuezhi could barely hear the otherโ€™s voice clearly, caught between discomfort and pleasure, these two emotions repeatedly pulling at her. She tilted her graceful neck, unsure whether she wanted to escape or seek more.

    She had heard the sounds coming from her own mouth, finding them somewhat frightening, but more than that, she felt shy.

    Now she bit her rouge-red lips tightly, unwilling to make another sound no matter what happened, unaware that this restrained endurance only made her appear more alluring.

    Still, she remained unwilling to give up.

    The proud omega tilted her neck and opened her mouth.

    โ€œThen Jiejieโ€ฆ is Jiejie a bad person?โ€

    Fu Chaoyunโ€™s eyes had grown impossibly dark.

    โ€œNot yet, but perhaps soon enough.โ€

    โ€œThenโ€”โ€

    Before Pei Xuezhi could finish speaking, with just that slight parting of her lips, they were captured in a bite, then breached, and amid their entanglement, she could faintly hear the alphaโ€™s muffled yet gentle voice.

    โ€œItโ€™s my fault.โ€

    โ€œNever mind, donโ€™t hold back. If Zhizhi feels upset, just bite me.โ€

    Pei Xuezhi was instantly robbed of breath, her clever mind blank for a moment, and in her daze, she could only thinkโ€”

    Howโ€ฆ how could she possibly bite the other person? That was herโ€ฆ

    Then.

    Everything she had done to the other person was now being returned, multiplied many times over!

    The temperature against her lips was scorching hot, each touch carrying the alphaโ€™s endless dominance.

    Only now did she realize.

    How incredibly tolerant the alpha had been earlier, allowing her to continuously tease and provoke!

    After Pei Xuezhi turned around, they faced each other, nothing could be hidden anymore.

    The overwhelming flood of sensations instantly made Pei Xuezhi vulnerable, soul-lost, everything before her eyes gradually blurring.

    โ€œTheโ€ฆ the mirrorโ€ฆโ€

    Pei Xuezhi unconsciously spoke, reaching out to touch Fu Chaoyunโ€™s cheek.

    Why was she alone so deeply trapped in these emotions, becoming so fierce and ugly?

    She wanted to see the otherโ€™s eyes, their expressionโ€ฆ to know and be reassured that they were both in this storm-tossed broken boat together, so she wouldnโ€™t feel alone anymore.

    But her fingertips trembled, gradually losing their usual strength.

    Hearing this, Fu Chaoyun turned Pei Xuezhi around again, her dense kisses moving to the back of her neck, and with a lift of her hand, thick black hair cascaded down.

    Their positions reversed.

    With lips and tongue, with her whole being, she kissed all over the omegaโ€™s fair and delicate skin, soothing the omegaโ€™s hot, burning glands.

    Pei Xuezhiโ€™s eyes narrowed slightly; before her still lay a hazy chaos, but after a moment, she found a trace of clarity in this fog and looked forward.

    The air was too hot; though no hot water had been run, the mirror was covered in steam, moisture gathering continuously, making everything as unclear as her misty eyes.

    Yet this haziness, this half-concealment, was what made it most enticing.

    Fu Chaoyun stood behind her.

    The alpha who usually acted cute and spoiled with her was now bowing her head, either soothing or teasing the omegaโ€™s glands.

    It was hard to tell whichโ€ฆ

    But either way, Pei Xuezhi couldnโ€™t muster even a hint of resistance, allowing the other to do as she pleased.

    Pei Xuezhi continued to gaze at the blurry mirror surface, kept watching.

    The alpha before her still had her head lowered, emotions unreadable, but her overwhelming dominance was undeniable, completely different from her earlier gentle, softly-spoken comforting manner.

    This scene wasnโ€™t what Pei Xuezhi had imagined, but she had to admit, this version of the alpha seemed to be the most bewitching.

    Yet it was also gentle, a tenderness unique to Fu Chaoyun.

    Rising, then smoothing out, finally transforming into peaceful tranquility.

    Pei Xuezhi at last contentedly, languidly narrowed her beautiful eyes.

    When she had foolishly wanted to mark the alpha earlier, it was more of a psychological compulsion, but now it was completely different.

    Was this the feeling they mentioned in official terms, when a G [alpha/omega pairing] meets?

    Pei Xuezhi didnโ€™t know.

    In her previous life, she had only encountered one alpha, her practical experience insufficient. At least when that person had violated her, she hadnโ€™t felt even a hint of pleasure, only nausea, disgust, and an endless, uncontrollable murderous intent in her heart.

    But nowโ€ฆ it was like a fierce tiger holding its preyโ€™s neck, but this time the prey was willing, even surrendering completely.

    Fu Chaoyun behind her only caressed and soothed repeatedly, her sharp teeth well-hidden, never showing even slightly.

    Pei Xuezhi felt content.

    Yet this contentment felt like scratching an itch through oneโ€™s boots, leaving her suspended in mid-air, never reaching complete satisfaction.

    Graduallyโ€ฆ

    As she received less and less, Pei Xuezhiโ€™s black eyes slowly regained their clarity.

    Suddenly, she turned and pushed the other person away.

    Fu Chaoyun was caught off guard, though Pei Xuezhi was too weak to push hard, she still stepped back slightly.

    Their bodies, previously entwined like vines, seemingly about to melt into one, now suddenly separated.

    Air entered between them, not obviously, but enough to slightly cool the burning heat.

    โ€œZhizhi?โ€

    The alpha called out in confusion at the sudden emptiness.

    โ€œEnough.โ€ Pei Xuezhi turned around, suppressing the tremor in her voice, speaking as calmly as possible, โ€œItโ€™s fine now, you can go back.โ€

    Fu Chaoyun tilted her head and asked, โ€œAre you not uncomfortable anymore?โ€

    In this situation, shouldnโ€™t Zhizhi be close to her sensitive period? This scent was even stronger than when she was drugged at their first meeting, and she hadnโ€™t even used suppressants yet. Could a sensitive period really be resolved so easily?

    Pei Xuezhi saw the confusion in Fu Chaoyunโ€™s eyes, remembering that this Fu Chaoyun didnโ€™t seem to understand much about alpha-omega dynamics.

    โ€œMm.โ€

    After she leaves, Iโ€™ll take care of it myself.

    Pei Xuezhi concealed it well; under her forceful suppression, the flush on her face gradually faded, her eyes regaining their usual coolness.

    The omegaโ€™s delicate skin texture still lingered on her fingertips and between her lips and tongue. Fu Chaoyun looked Pei Xuezhi up and down twice, seemingly confirming she was fine, before preparing to leaveโ€”forcefully refusing to mark in this situation wasnโ€™t easy for an alpha either.

    Her hand was already on the bathroom door handle.

    โ€œClose the door when you leave.โ€

    Pei Xuezhi heard her own slightly hoarse voice.

    However, Fu Chaoyun suddenly turned back around. Earlier, Pei Xuezhiโ€™s limbs had no strength, so she was just leaning against the sink.

    She hadnโ€™t used any force.

    Perhaps because of this, Fu Chaoyun caught her completely off guard, lifting her up. The female alphaโ€™s arms were soft and slender yet strong, quickly lifting the completely softened omega onto the sink.

    She stood before Pei Xuezhi, her burning hot body perfectly fitted between, while she lowered her head, burying it in Pei Xuezhiโ€™s neck.

    โ€œI understand now.โ€

    Her voice was muffled.

    The dress Pei Xuezhi wore after her bath was already thin, and after all the entanglement at her nape, it had become even looser.

    When Fu Chaoyun lowered her head, her burning lips happened to press against the red mole on Pei Xuezhiโ€™s collarbone.

    That mole was delicate and small, perfectly placed on Pei Xuezhiโ€™s protruding collarbone, and now flushed with passion, it appeared especially red, red like a decadent flower.

    It complemented the beautyโ€™s delicate collarbone and pale pink skin perfectly.

    Fu Chaoyun touched that spot, kissed it, then her spare hand traced down along the beautyโ€™s graceful figure, and thenโ€”

    She went wild!

    โ€ฆโ€ฆ

    โ€ฆโ€ฆ

    Much later.

    Pei Xuezhi sat on the sink, leaning against Fu Chaoyun, her entire body soft as if boneless.

    Her cheeks were flushed, her delicate features showing complete satisfaction, a thin layer of fragrant sweat on her fine skin, not unpleasant but rather carrying the same sweet pheromone scent.

    If grapefruit isnโ€™t fully ripe, it carries a hint of bitterness, but now Pei Xuezhiโ€™s entire being, this roomโ€ฆ was completely filled with an overwhelmingly sweet fragrance.

    Now she opened herself completely to the person before her, as if wanting to add a touch of grapefruit sweetness to the otherโ€™s wine scent.

    The usually cold beauty was now completely suffused with the color of passion and desire.

    โ€”Both body and heart trembling.

    Fu Chaoyun pressed against her from behind, supporting her, preventing Pei Xuezhi from falling if she lost balance.

    Pei Xuezhiโ€™s temple hair was damp, like begonia flowers in rain, yet not unsightly at all; rather, she looked incredibly beautiful.

    Seeing this, Fu Chaoyun habitually raised her right hand to touch the beautyโ€™s damp hair.

    As she raised her hand.

    Her fingertips seemed to glisten with traces of moisture.

    Pei Xuezhiโ€™s eyes also glanced over.

    Halfway through the motion, she suddenly stopped, switching to her less dexterous left hand.

    โ€œWant to take a bath?โ€ Fu Chaoyun asked naturally.

    โ€œโ€ฆMm.โ€

    Pei Xuezhiโ€™s consciousness hadnโ€™t fully returned yet, just leaning against the person in front of her, responding unconsciously.

    โ€œThen Iโ€™ll carry you over.โ€

    Last time when drunk, Pei Xuezhi had helped wash her hair, now it was the reverse, one favor for another โ€“ Fu Chaoyun found this perfectly reasonable.

    Fu Chaoyun adjusted the omegaโ€™s dress hem and was about to lift her when Pei Xuezhi slightly regained her senses, though her eyes hadnโ€™t quite focused, and said, โ€œI can do it myself.โ€

    Subconsciously, she still found such things embarrassing.

    Fu Chaoyunโ€™s response was a light laugh.

    She first lowered her head, whispering something in Pei Xuezhiโ€™s ear, too faint to hear clearly, before pulling back slightly.

    โ€œThenโ€ฆ can Zhizhi stand right now?โ€

    Pei Xuezhi raised her eyes to look.

    Her entire body was flushed pink, but wasnโ€™t the person before her the same?

    The alphaโ€™s face was also colored like begonia flowers, but compared to the omegaโ€™s delicate weakness, it carried a different kind of romantic charm.

    Pei Xuezhi supported herself to sit up slightly, saying stubbornly, โ€œI can.โ€

    โ€œAlright, alright,โ€ Fu Chaoyun said while helping arrange the beautyโ€™s black hair, dropping two kisses, โ€œZhizhi is so capable.โ€

    The beautyโ€™s body was covered in light sweat, including her hair.

    The hair that Fu Chaoyun had painstakingly dried earlier was now wet at the roots, necessitating another wash.

    The sensitive period had been soothed, the goal achieved, and Fu Chaoyun didnโ€™t linger, finally preparing to leave.

    โ€œWait.โ€

    Over there, Pei Xuezhi slowly sat up as she regained some strength, and when she met Fu Chaoyunโ€™s gaze, she was shy and hesitantโ€ฆ but finally firmly grabbed the alphaโ€™s hand.

    That stiff right hand.

    Still sitting on the sink, the beautyโ€™s body trembled yet determinedly turned on the nearby faucet, holding Fu Chaoyunโ€™s hand under the running water.

    One finger in particular received special attention, held and rinsed repeatedly.

    The mirror faithfully and completely reflected their current appearance.

    Pei Xuezhi washed that hand with flushed cheeks, while Fu Chaoyun looked down at the beauty before her. The dress hem she had previously arranged was hidden, but one corner reflected in the mirror showed a small water-stained mark.

    Shhโ€”

    โ€ฆ

    โ€ฆ

    Fu Chaoyunโ€™s pheromone scent was overwhelmingly strong.

    Her own, and Pei Xuezhiโ€™sโ€ฆ

    Someone consistently refused to help.

    With no choice, they retrieved Pei Xuezhiโ€™s suppressants, using nearly half the bottle before barely concealing that powerfully merged scent.

    Pei Xuezhi had no strength left, so Fu Chaoyun fetched her change of clothes โ€“ this time a light blue pajama set, top and bottom.

    Hidden in the closet, it seemed to show signs of previous wear.

    Pei Xuezhi looked once, then averted her gaze.

    Fu Chaoyun smiled.

    โ€œIโ€™m not picky,โ€ her gaze fell on Pei Xuezhi, almost righteously forthright, except her words carried a hint of teasing, โ€œThe pure and innocent typeโ€ฆ works for me too~โ€

    โ€œGet out!โ€

    Pei Xuezhi closed the door, and a moment later, hearing footsteps still lingering, she raised her voice again.

    โ€œTake the fruit from the table with you.โ€

    โ€œZhizhi doesnโ€™t want it?โ€

    โ€œMm.โ€ The pattering shower sounds from the bathroom made Pei Xuezhiโ€™s voice unclear, โ€œI canโ€™t eat anymore.โ€

    Fu Chaoyun sat in the outer room a while longer, and despite usually disliking tidying up, she tucked in Pei Xuezhiโ€™s bedsheets.

    Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happenedโ€ฆ

    Really?

    Fu Chaoyun smiled, brushing her hair to let it fall and cover the marks on her neck.

    When leaving the room, her expression showed no obvious signs of anything unusual. As she appeared in the hallway, viewers who had watched a black screen for nearly forty minutes rushed back eagerly.

    ใ€Did they do it? Did they do it?ใ€‘

    ใ€Like thisโ€ฆ canโ€™t really tellโ€ฆใ€‘

    ใ€Tsk, only forty minutes, Fu Chaoyunโ€™s not up to much.ใ€‘

    ใ€That composed face and neat clothes, still wearing what she went in withโ€ฆ so disappointing.jpgใ€‘

    ใ€Donโ€™t believe it! I want to smell Fu Chaoyun to check if she has Pei Xuezhiโ€™s pheromone scent!!ใ€‘

    Just then, Tang Ying came out to get water and was startled seeing Fu Chaoyun, โ€œYouโ€™re just coming fromโ€ฆ there?โ€

    โ€œMm.โ€ Fu Chaoyun remained composed, lifting the fruit plate to show, โ€œToo much to finish.โ€

    โ€œโ€ฆโ€

    Tang Ying looked at the fruit, then at someone: Iโ€™m thinking you didnโ€™t eat much at all? Isnโ€™t it still the same full plate!

    After this time, Tang Ying seemed to have lost her initial feelings for Fu Chaoyun, only politely asking if Fu Chaoyun needed water as she was going downstairs to get some.

    โ€œNo need, thanks.โ€

    Conversation ended, they passed each other by.

    ใ€Ah, Tang Ying was only surprised at first, then her expression was normal, does that mean Fu Chaoyun had no scent?ใ€‘

    ใ€Pass it on, Fu Chaoyun really canโ€™t perform!ใ€‘

    When Pei Xuezhi finished washing up and came out, another half hour had passed, and by now she had mostly recovered her strength.

    Instinctively reaching for the hair dryer, she suddenly remembered it was broken. Not being one to trouble others, she didnโ€™t go out to borrow one, just towel-dried her hair a few times before checking her phone with damp hair.

    She picked up her own phone.

    After unlocking it, she immediately downloaded Weibo. She usually didnโ€™t use these social apps; this was Fu Chaoyunโ€™s inspiration.

    While waiting for the installation, she continued drying her hair, then suddenly remembered something and checked the phone provided by the production team.

    It showed she had received a message ten minutes ago.

    From Fu Chaoyun.

    [I left the hair dryer at your door, remember to use it.]

    [No slacking off, sleeping with wet hair will give you a headache!!]

    [Keep that one for now, when the new one arrives, Iโ€™ll test it first to make sure it works well, if not Iโ€™ll return it.]

    A very Fu Chaoyun-style message.

    As Pei Xuezhi read, her eyes curved into a smile.

    While drying her hair, she had unconsciously touched her nape. That gland area had been repeatedly rinsed with warm water and should have been clean, but at this slight touch, countless sensory memories suddenly surged back, beginning to heat up and burn, crying out for more.

    Wearing the schoolgirl-style pajama set Fu Chaoyun had teased her about, Pei Xuezhi opened the door just enough to reach out and bring in the hair dryer.

    Wealthy circumstances meant that certain alpha never knew restraint; even casual items she bought were luxury brands. Perhaps because you get what you pay for, the hair dryerโ€™s warmth was cozy, making one drowsy with comfort.

    Pei Xuezhi dried her hair for a while, then checked her phone again.

    [Are you asleep?]

    The reply came quickly: [Canโ€™t sleep.] followed by an emoji of a cat tossing and turning.

    How could she possibly sleep!?

    Playing innocent.

    Under the light, the beautyโ€™s eyes deepened with amusement.

    [Iโ€™m drying my hair.]

    [Oh, dry it properly, donโ€™t be careless, or Iโ€™ll climb over there to dry Zhizhiโ€™s hair myself!]

    [I know.]

    The other side sent another emoji of petting a catโ€™s head, very cute. Pei Xuezhi stared at it for a while, finally choosing to add an emoji.

    She sent back a cat-petting emoji, then asked: [Are you free this weekend?]

    [Does Zhizhi want to go out?]

    [Mm.] After thinking, Pei Xuezhi sent another message to clarify, [Iโ€™m asking you out.]

    [Iโ€™m available.]

    [Free anytime.]

    Sent two messages in succession.

    โ€ฆ

    Meanwhile.

    Fu Chaoyun had also finished washing up and was lying on her bed.

    She too had been completely soaked earlier, lecturing Pei Xuezhi about thoroughly drying her hair, yet she had only dried her own hair about fifty or sixty percent, leaving the rest to air dry.

    All to quickly deliver the hair dryer to the other person.

    The camera in Fu Chaoyunโ€™s room was also covered; they couldnโ€™t leave any evidence.

    Since Pei Xuezhi asked like this nowโ€ฆ

    Weekend, that would be the mandatory date set up by the production team.

    Usually, the person making the invitation wouldnโ€™t reveal the time and place to surprise their love interest, but since Pei Xuezhi asked her in advance, Fu Chaoyun thought she was seeking her opinion, wanting her to choose.

    Just as she was about to type, she saw the other person was typing, so she waited a moment, and new messages appeared in the chat.

    [For Jiejieโ€ฆ]

    [How about going to the childrenโ€™s amusement park?]

    Fu Chaoyun: โ€œ???โ€
