After the Scum Alpha Picked Up Her Rival Omega - Chapter 17

Inside the Grand Suite, floor-to-ceiling windows looked out over the ocean. A wave rose, causing the cruise ship to sway a few times.

The corner behind the door was directly in the camera’s line of sight. Not one to shy away from drama, the production crew cut to a close-up, capturing every movement of the two.

Only one camera was installed in the guest cabins, pointing straight at the door. As the shot zoomed in, Si Xia seemed to sense it; she stood a bit straighter, positioning herself face-to-face to shield Ming Ruixue completely.

From the audience’s perspective, however, it looked like they were kissing.

The viewers in the bullet comments immediately exploded. Holy crap!

The show magnified the lens twofold, fully satisfying the audience’s curiosity.

Ming Ruixue tilted her head slightly. Noticing the camera zooming in again, she turned, her hand shielding the back of Si Xia’s head.

In an instant, the world spun as they swapped positions.

Inside the room, the pheromones grew thick. The Omega was like a little kitten soaked in milk.

The catnip spirit almost became “milk-drunk.”

Ming Ruixue felt clearly that the suppressant patch on her nape had lost its effect. The woody-milk scent seeped into her marrow, causing a faint ache.

The bullet comments covered the screen layer by layer. Everyone was quietly waiting to see what would happen next.

Si Xia’s eyes were misty, her lashes damp with tears, as if she were enduring to her absolute limit.

Ming Ruixue spoke softly, “I’ll cover the camera first.”

Contrary to the audience’s expectations, Ming Ruixue’s face appeared directly in front of the lens. It was a visual critique of pure beauty; her skin looked flawless enough to break at a touch.

Another wave of “holy crap” flooded the comments.

Ming Ruixue waved her hand. “Sorry, everyone. You can’t watch what happens next.”

[Sister Ming, NO!!!]

Ignoring the protests of the viewers, Ming Ruixue briskly covered the camera.

The entire internet was visibly displeased. After being teased for so long tonight, all they got was a black screen. Complaints from the audience were already flooding Director Ye’s desk.

With their eyes covered, the audience’s ears became even more sensitive, straining to hear any tiny sound from inside the cabin.

There seemed to be the sound of gasping.

With the camera gone, Si Xia didn’t dare make a sound. She bit her lip and whispered, “Hurry up.”

She couldn’t turn into a cat today. An Alpha’s mark might actually work.

Ming Ruixue began searching the room for suppressants, but Si Xia’s cat tail was already on the verge of appearing. “Suppressants are useless for me, stop looking.”

Ming Ruixue stopped and leaned in close to Si Xia’s ear to confirm in a whisper, “So, you really want me to give you a temporary mark?”

The Omega was melting like a pool of spring milk. Si Xia clenched her palms. “Are you unwilling to help me?”

Even if the Alpha was unwilling, at most, they would just flake on tonight’s planned “business” hype.

At that moment, Director Ye opened the private audio to Ming Ruixue and Si Xia, telling them to open the camera; the audience was already leaving negative reviews in protest.

Flaking on the hype was no longer an option.

Ming Ruixue pressed her earpiece. “Director Ye, wait a little longer.”

Ming Ruixue knew that even if Si Xia used Omega suppressants, the effect wouldn’t be instantaneous. An Alpha’s mark was what she needed to temporarily soothe the heat.

Ming Ruixue said, “I’m starting then.”

Si Xia nodded weakly. Her scalp was itching; if they didn’t start now, she would kick Ming Ruixue out.

Both were doing this for the first time, so nerves were inevitable.

As a catnip spirit, Ming Ruixue had never marked an Omega, but an uncontrollable urge was rising in her body—Mark her. She even wanted to bite her hard.

Ming Ruixue was startled by the thought that suddenly popped into her head. She shouldn’t be thinking like that. It had to be the influence of the Omega’s pheromones.

Ming Ruixue asked, “Do we need to get on the bed?”

Si Xia gave her an indescribable look. “No need. Right here.”

“Uh…” Ming Ruixue stood by the bed and explained, “I just meant you might not be able to stand. Lying on the bed might be more convenient.”

The image of an Omega underneath an Alpha marking her was far too suggestive. Si Xia wasn’t having it. “No need. It’s just a single bite.”

Just a bite; it wouldn’t take long.

Si Xia leaned weakly against the corner, brushing her long hair over her shoulder to reveal her slender, soft nape. It was pale with a hint of red—clean, fragile skin.

Ming Ruixue ignored the parts she shouldn’t look at, her gaze landing on Si Xia’s tightly bitten lip. The Omega seemed to be in a lot of pain.

“I’m biting now.” Having given her warning, Ming Ruixue didn’t dally. She held Si Xia’s shoulder with one hand and lowered her head, her lips pressing down.

The moment her teeth touched the skin, the Omega’s sensitive body shuddered as she tried to flee. Ming Ruixue raised her hand to lock onto Si Xia’s neck, pressing her head lower.

As the pain arrived, pheromones were injected. Milk and mint became entangled.

Si Xia bit her lip hard, refusing to let a single sound escape. She didn’t want the audio equipment to pick anything up; after all, there were still viewers in their livestream room who hadn’t left.

Ming Ruixue realized this and silently turned off the audio for both of them. The livestream was now pitch black and completely silent.

The lack of experience made it truly painful at first. Aside from the pain, Si Xia felt overwhelmed; she couldn’t help but try to retreat further into the corner.

Ming Ruixue wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into her embrace. The Omega finally quieted down for a moment.

As the Alpha pheromones were injected, Si Xia’s tense body gradually softened. She curled into Ming Ruixue’s arms, her pink lips bitten until they bled, trembling from the endurance until she finally hummed, “Mmm… that’s enough.”

Any more, and things would get out of hand.

Ming Ruixue lifted her head, feeling Si Xia surrender her entire weight. Her body had turned as soft as spring water, without even the strength to stand up.

The temporary mark was complete.

Ming Ruixue looked at the tooth marks left on the back of the Omega’s neck and the way Si Xia leaned so docilely and softly in her arms.

—An inexplicable desire to tease her to the very end arose in her heart. She even wanted to taste if the Omega’s “juices” really tasted like milk.

Ugh.

Ming Ruixue immediately suppressed the wicked thought. She bent down, hooking her arm under Si Xia’s knees, and carried her to the bed to rest for a while.

Si Xia closed her eyes, feeling certain the back of her neck had bled and would likely scab over. However, the Alpha’s pheromones were very effective; her cat ears weren’t itchy, and there were no signs of them popping out.

She breathed a temporary sigh of relief.

Ming Ruixue knelt by the bed. “Does it hurt?”

“It hurts like hell,” Si Xia said, her eyes reddening. “So, you have to let me bite you back.”

They had already agreed to let Si Xia take a bite.

Even though it was Si Xia who had requested the temporary mark, Ming Ruixue felt she had indeed bullied her. She extended her arm. “Go ahead and bite.”

“I’m not biting you there.” Si Xia bit her lip, acting a bit unreasonable. “An Omega’s nape is a private area. I feel like I’m losing out if I only bite your arm.”

Ming Ruixue was almost amused by the anger. “Si Xia, I was helping you, you know?”

Si Xia spoke bluntly, “Well, didn’t it feel pretty good for you too?”

Ming Ruixue froze. “Si Xia, don’t talk nonsense.”

Si Xia’s face turned red after saying it. “And you bit me for a bit too long…”

Ming Ruixue: “…” Somehow, everything is my fault.

Ming Ruixue raised an eyebrow. “Then where do you want to bite me?”

“Hmm…”

Si Xia’s gaze traveled from Ming Ruixue’s moist lips, past her beautiful collarbones, and downward…

Ming Ruixue shielded her front with her hands. “Hey… not allowed.”
