After Differentiating into an O, Pampered by an A - Chapter 40

Wait, what kind of request is this—a benefit for others but a total burden for oneself?

Ye Xing turned her head and looked at Shen Yushu’s aesthetically pleasing face. Dammit, I should be angry.

The bedroom was lit only by a dim floor lamp. The woman on the bed shifted twice, her voice as soft as a cloud: “Thirsty…”

“Alright, alright, wait here. I’ll get you some water first, then I’ll help you change when I get back.”

As if having received the message, Shen Yushu finally slowly released Ye Xing’s hand.

“Hey, Shen Yushu, you aren’t pretending to be drunk just to order me around and torture me, are you?” Ye Xing asked suspiciously.

But in the vast room, it was so quiet that only the sound of one shallow and one heavy breath remained.

Ye Xing moved quickly, poured water at the dining table, and rushed back to the bedroom. After drinking the water, Shen Yushu’s lips looked even more temptingly red. Seeing this, Ye Xing remembered something and headed to the bathroom, returning with makeup remover and cotton pads.

She instinctively and gently helped Shen Yushu remove her light makeup. Looking at that flawless, cold white skin, Ye Xing couldn’t help but admire: “Tsk, truly a feast for the eyes!”

After the water and the cool touch of the wet wipes, Shen Yushu became much more awake.

In the dimly lit bedroom, Shen Yushu’s long lashes trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and deep, quietly watching the other woman’s exquisite profile. Ye Xing was tidying up the things nearby, looking focused and serious, exceptionally cute.

Shen Yushu couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle, which sounded particularly distinct in the quiet room. Ye Xing’s movements paused; she tilted her head to scrutinize Shen Yushu on the bed.

“Hot…” Shen Yushu immediately narrowed her eyes and murmured.

Her restlessly waving fingers accidentally hooked the ribbon of her silk shirt. It suddenly slid down, revealing exquisite, jade-like collarbones and a pair of seductive, sexy hollows.

Ye Xing frowned and quickly returned the things to the bathroom.

Coming out to see that Shen Yushu had quieted down and wasn’t making a fuss, she patted the non-existent dust off her hands. “Alright, Shen Yushu, you rest up. I’m going back. I’m taking Little Grape with me, too. If she stays here all day, she really won’t recognize me later.”

Hearing that Ye Xing was leaving, Shen Yushu’s slender body immediately flipped over on the bed. If Ye Xing had been a second slower, Shen Yushu would have fallen onto the floor.

Supporting herself on the carpet, Ye Xing looked at the person lying in her arms. Her face was flushed, and the pleasant scent of perfume mixed with the heat Shen Yushu breathed onto her neck. She suddenly noticed her heart had skipped two beats.

Belatedly feeling the other woman’s softness, alarm bells rang in Ye Xing’s mind. Her body stiffened, and she pursed her red lips. “Shen Yushu, get up.”

But Shen Yushu acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing, leaning even closer to Ye Xing. “Ye Xing, I’m so hot. My whole body has no strength… won’t you help me take my clothes off?”

Ye Xing felt something was wrong with Shen Yushu. She had only had a few drinks; why did she seem even more sensitive than someone like herself whose rut was approaching?

She used force to push Shen Yushu up against the bedside, only to see ripples in those misty eyes. Ye Xing was starting to sweat slightly from the effort, so she took a hair tie from the nightstand and tied up her long hair, preparing to get the woman back onto the bed.

Little did she know that Shen Yushu saw the inhibitor patch on the back of Ye Xing’s neck at a glance. Her dark pupils trembled slightly, and a surge of heat instantly rose within her. She swallowed uncontrollably.

“Ye Xing.” In the darkness, Shen Yushu called her name softly.

Ye Xing, holding Shen Yushu by the arms like a child to get her to sit on the bed, leaned over with her head down and gave a casual reply. “What?”

She didn’t realize that her inhibitor patch was blatantly swaying in front of someone’s eyes. It was too close—so close that Shen Yushu felt she could easily tear it off if she just opened her mouth.

Shen Yushu tried her best to suppress it, but through the thin barrier, she seemed to smell Ye Xing’s pheromones. It was her deepest desire at the moment, like a person walking in the desert longing for rain.

Ye Xing pulled her hands back and pressed the woman against the bed. “If you fall again, I’m not helping you. Stay still.”

She thought Shen Yushu would just collapse onto the bed like soft water, but to her surprise, the woman sat steadily on the edge of the bed.

Ye Xing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. “You’re awake?”

Shen Yushu gave a faint “Mm.” She looked like she had little expression, only staring at Ye Xing with eyes as deep as the sea, suppressing the intense and complex emotions within.

The air in the room suddenly became quiet and suggestive. That gaze full of desire couldn’t help but remind Ye Xing of that day at the event venue.

Ye Xing felt herself trembling. “Um, Shen Yushu, clear your head. I’m not some delicate Omega.”

Shen Yushu raised her long lashes, the corners of her eyes stained with an exceptionally vivid rouge color for some reason. Her voice was husky: “I know. The entertainment industry’s ‘No. 1 Most Beautiful A’.”

“…”

With that, Shen Yushu stood up. Facing the powerful pressure, the glands at the back of Ye Xing’s neck suddenly grew hot. Dammit. She had been so focused on bringing Shen Yushu upstairs that she forgot to bring her inhibitors.

Noticing the change in her body, alarm bells rang loudly in Ye Xing’s mind. She instinctively moved away from the bed. “S-Sister, look closely. I’m an Alpha. We ‘clash’ (both are Alphas). I don’t like Alphas.”

“Is that so? But I clearly heard you say you liked me with your own ears.”

“When?!”

“In bed.”

Crazy. This woman, Shen Yushu, had gone completely crazy. Which woman had said that to her in bed? Why was she pinning it on her—!

“I think you haven’t slept off the alcohol yet. Fine, you rest well. I’m leaving.” With that, Ye Xing wanted to quickly escape this oppressive room.

But seeing this, Shen Yushu reached out and forcefully hugged her slender waist. In an instant, they swapped directions, and Ye Xing was pressed down onto the bed. Shen Yushu half-knelt in front of Ye Xing, their eyes level. Ye Xing could clearly feel the desire in those beautiful eyes.

What made Ye Xing feel even more uneasy and afraid was that there was something in those eyes hooking her—hooking her heart into racing, hooking her into an irresistible descent.

Ye Xing swallowed, wanting to break this ambiguous atmosphere. She tried to shift her hips to the side, but the moment she moved, Shen Yushu propped her hands on either side of her, trapping her in an embrace.

After a long moment, she raised her lashes, her slender white fingers entining a strand of Ye Xing’s dark hair that had fallen onto her shoulder. Her voice was lazy and sexy: “I told you, you aren’t allowed to call me ‘Sister.’ I like hearing you say my name. But if you like calling me that, why don’t you say it a few more times for me to hear?”

Huh?

Ye Xing immediately changed her tune: “Okay, Sister Shen—no, Shen Yushu. I won’t call you that. Let me go. You’re making me look very un-Alpha.”

Ye Xing took a deep breath, ready to risk it all. If Shen Yushu dared to take advantage of her weakness tonight and a fierce battle was unavoidable, then even if the King of Heaven came, she wouldn’t let herself be bitten while confused like last time.

But the more she thought about it, the softer her body became. What was going on?

Suddenly, a faint scent of caramel drifted into Ye Xing’s nose, mixed with a hint of rum. It smelled wonderful. This rich fragrance felt familiar, yet she couldn’t remember where she’d smelled it. She even took a deep breath uncontrollably.

Help. Her glands were reacting again—!

But Shen Yushu, realizing she had been tempted by Ye Xing into releasing her pheromones, immediately straightened up, opened the nightstand drawer, and took out an inhibitor to spray on her glands.

“Give me some too!” Ye Xing reached out to snatch the inhibitor from Shen Yushu’s hand.

Soon the bottle was empty. Shen Yushu, panting slightly, clapped her hands, and the bedroom lights instantly became bright. Both of them relaxed for a moment.

Once Ye Xing adapted to the light, she stuffed the bottle back into Shen Yushu’s hand and realized everything instantly. “Whoa, Shen Yushu, so you’re in your rut too!”

No wonder—!

Shen Yushu admitted she had a strong craving for Ye Xing just now and had been desperately restraining herself, not expecting her pheromones to surge out of control. Ye Xing didn’t know the person who marked her that night was her; if she let Ye Xing know now, she wasn’t entirely sure the girl could accept it. After all, Shen Yushu had secretly asked the hotel front desk—they said Ye Xing was very angry when she went to check the surveillance the next day.

Ye Xing didn’t know what Shen Yushu was thinking, assuming she was regretting her drunken/rut behavior. Not wanting it to be too awkward, Ye Xing broke the silence and cleared her throat. “Shen Yushu, you actually went out to drink during your rut? I really don’t know who you were trying to ruin. Fine, considering your ‘special circumstances,’ I won’t hold it against you. After all, the rut does make one impulsive. But your ruts seem a bit frequent… why don’t you go to the hospital for a checkup?”

“Thank you, but there’s no need. There’s nothing wrong with my body.” As she spoke, Shen Yushu slowly approached Ye Xing and whispered, “Furthermore, I’m not in my rut. It’s the scent of your pheromones that has been seducing me.”

“My pheromones…” Ye Xing was about to strike back, but suddenly she wrinkled her nose and sniffed like a kitten. “Holy crap, where is this milky scent coming from?”

Shen Yushu put down the inhibitor bottle, took off her jewelry, and the words spilled from her red lips: “You don’t know the scent of your own pheromones?”

Ye Xing gave a faint “Oh,” then jumped a second later. “Wait, a milky-scented Alpha? Holy sh*t!”

In Ye Xing’s impression, an Alpha’s pheromones should be stimulating and overbearing, the kind that makes an Omega’s heart race from the pressure. A milky scent… it smelled way too “O” (Omega-like). Ye Xing found it a bit hard to accept and took a long time to process it.

After a while, she raised her lashes and looked at Shen Yushu thoughtfully, asking curiously, “Then what do you smell like? Let me smell.”

Shen Yushu hadn’t expected Ye Xing to say that so abruptly. She didn’t offer any resistance or displeasure; she just stood there steadily, a faint smile sliding into her eyes. “Didn’t you smell it just now?”

Reminded, Ye Xing remembered. She had suddenly smelled a scent of rum mixed with a faint caramel just now. She hadn’t thought much of it, assuming it was the smell of alcohol Shen Yushu brought back from the bar. Now, the scent had almost completely dissipated. Ye Xing wanted to verify it again.

“Can I smell it again?”

Shen Yushu didn’t speak. The smile remained in her eyes. Her fair fingertips landed on the buttons of her shirt, moving slowly downward, unfastening them.

Ye Xing interrupted in a deep voice: “What are you doing?”

A playful look curled onto Shen Yushu’s red lips. “Didn’t you want to smell my pheromones?”

Ye Xing was slightly embarrassed. “Um… I can smell it if you just stand closer. There’s no need to take your clothes off.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words landed, Shen Yushu suddenly stepped forward, her toes touching Ye Xing’s. Ye Xing leaned back in shock, but her wrist was held firmly.

Shen Yushu’s voice was soft, her starry eyes inches away. “Is this close enough?”
