The Crematorium While Chasing an Alpha Was Intercepted by a Flirtatious Omega Senior Sister [Rebirth] 50

Chapter 50:

After getting off the plane and arriving in C City, Yan Qinghe saw that the pedestrians outside the car window were sparse. A clap of thunder roared, and lightning danced. Unlike the drizzling rain in H City, the rain in C City was roaring, coming in waves.

The sky was damp, the ground was wet, just like her heart rate at this moment, a shallow and deep heartbeat, up and down, like a monkey climbing vines in the forest, jumping up and down.

The rain fell, and her thoughts wandered. Only by taking a deep breath could she clear some of her baseless thoughts, and a graceful, ethereal figure.

Yan Qinghe held up a long umbrella. Under it, her figure was tall and straight, like a model, like a star, attracting the attention of many omegas.

They secretly sized up this beautiful alpha, only to see her tilt the umbrella to the side, but there was no one beside her who needed shelter from the wind and rain.

What a strange alpha.

And who was she holding the umbrella for?

Yan Qinghe let out a light sigh and slightly tilted the umbrella behind her. A strand of her bangs was wet with rain, her forehead cold, her burning heart clear for a moment.

When she passed by a coffee shop, when she met with clients, when she refused a dinner party and ate alone in a VIP room, there would always be a few seconds of fantasy. Would someone suddenly appear here?

And that person would walk with the steps of a noble lady, like a noble and elegant goddess in an ancient painting, gracefully walking out.

Everyone’s eyes would be on that person, shining in the crowd, in the surging tide of people, just like her Qianqian once did.

Drip, drip, drip. Yan Qinghe’s heart was also dripping, moist, and lost, like a lost pedestrian.

These days, she often received text messages from Ji Qianqian, begging her to meet her again, her voice soft and sweet, her tone coquettish and pleading. Sometimes she wouldn’t reply, and most of the time, her replies were a cold “mm” or “oh.”

Finally, Qianqian asked her: [Have you fallen for someone else?]

[Qinghe, tell me, have you fallen for Mu Sixue?]

[Mu Sixue, she’s not as simple as you think. Qinghe, I’m worried you’ll be deceived.]

Once, Ji Qianqian had asked her for a favor, to use the Yan Corporation’s connections to help her get a movie.

She had guessed that this might be another excuse for Ji Qianqian to get close to her. If it were before, she would have definitely used all her connections to handle Ji Qianqian’s matter properly, just to get a smile from her.

Before, she had never been able to refuse Ji Qianqian. Even Zhang Siyu had laughed at her, asking if she had a pleasing personality in front of Ji Qianqian.

This time, she had refused lightly. Ji Qianqian’s eyelids were covered with a touch of sadness, her beautiful almond eyes shining with tears. She heard her ask—

“Are you very good to someone else now?”

“You just wish you could give her your whole heart?”

“Qinghe, do you have no feelings for me at all anymore?”

Yan Qinghe’s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her eyes and said lightly, “Qianqian, my feelings for her are not what you think.”

Ji Qianqian wanted love from her, craved her love.

Even if the Qianqian of this life hadn’t done the things that had hurt her in her past life.

But she could no longer throw herself into it with the passion of a young person. She had been reborn in the middle of her past life. Now, inside her was a weary soul.

She thought, perhaps she was too lacking in warmth, which was why she was so easily moved by Mu Sixue’s repeated care, leading her to foolishly crave even more of that tender heat.

Life is full of infatuation. A broken heart, after a sudden flutter, does not return to a second spring, but flees to another city in a sorry state.

A little unwilling, a little helpless, but there was no other way.

Just as she had escaped, she was already thinking of going back. It had only been a few hours, but it felt like several days.

She had received Mu Sixue’s schedule from her third assistant. From work to after work, it was all laid out, too busy. The list said “after work to be determined.” Did she have other things to do after work?

She was like a pure-hearted lover, in a faint loneliness, thinking of Mu Sixue. What was she doing?

***

Mu Sixue received a text from He Ziyu, who had cordially invited her to a meal.

He Ziyu’s words were grand. [President Mu, I have a more core idea for cooperation between the Yan Corporation and H City’s high-level officials. I wonder if we could talk about it.]

She was using cooperation as an excuse, but Mu Sixue had a strange feeling. The other had refused to discuss cooperation at the company, only saying that there was some information that was not convenient to disclose.

Should she go?

She asked herself.

A distant memory from her youth, the girl in her memory was a mystery. He Ziyu was a little like her. Could it be her?

[May I ask you a question? Have you been to S County?]

He Ziyu’s face was stern. To catch a fish, you have to bait the hook. She calmly replied, [I have].

Mu Sixue’s eyes flickered. Her fingers paused, and she typed on the screen, [Okay, I’ll see you tonight.]

Mu Sixue stood up, rubbed her sore neck, and, with her arms crossed, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the lights come on, the lights of a thousand homes. The light in Yan Qinghe’s office had been off since she had left.

Summer, did she go to the next city?

[Is she okay?] she twirled her silver ring, not knowing who she was asking.

[Answering the host, the world’s child is currently negotiating business with a client,] the system replied.

The system was very proactive this time.

Mu Sixue’s eyebrows arched slightly, then relaxed like a spreading rainbow. So, that person really had something to do, which was why…

She had left the Yan Corporation without a word. Was it to escape her?

Summer’s assistant, the third assistant, had been assigned to her side, concerned about her schedule. She knew that even if she didn’t say anything, her second assistant would share it with the third assistant.

Mu Sixue really wanted to know if it was Yan Qinghe who had asked the third assistant to stay and report her schedule every day, but she had never been a curious person. After thinking about it, she gave up.

She knew that Yan Qinghe might have a good impression of her. If it were before, she might have been indifferent. Many people liked her, and even more people didn’t understand her.

Everyone has a love for beauty. People will like the beauty of a blooming flower, but no one will appreciate the desolation of a fallen flower, the withered state of a buried flower.

It was just a fleeting fancy, the glands acting up, the influence of pheromones.

But Yan Qinghe had surprised her. Even when they had kissed, and even when she had taken the initiative to kiss her, Yan Qinghe’s pheromones had not been agitated at all.

On the contrary, when she was helping her with her injury, she had been briefly captivated by the scenery, and a little of her pheromones had leaked out.

She had never liked alphas, but Yan Qinghe had successfully piqued her interest.

It was just a curious interest, she told herself.

What Mu Sixue was secretly unwilling to admit was that the reason she had accepted this mission was also because Yan Qinghe gave her a sense of déjà vu.

At first glance, she was like a hazy old friend.

Upon deeper contact, she was an alpha who was not affected by pheromones, pure and abstinent.

[Summer… Yan Qinghe, is she… hmm, like those people to me?]

She asked the system, but it was as if she were asking herself.

The system was silent. [Host, I am happy to tell you that she has a good impression of you. On the basis of this good impression, fulfilling the world’s child’s wish and avoiding her going mad will better stabilize the operation of this world.]

Hearing the words “going mad,” Mu Sixue thought of Yan Qinghe’s past experiences as recorded by the system, and her nerves ached. She touched her forehead. [When can her wish be 100% fulfilled?]

System: [There’s still half left.]

Mu Sixue: [Four years, half done, and another four years for the other half?]

She was afraid that Mu Sichen couldn’t wait that long. In her past life, her sister had died of a heart condition at the age of 24. Now, Mu Sichen was 23, with only one year left.

The system comforted her: [This is determined by the intensity of the world’s child’s wish. The stronger the wish, the more urgent, the more it affects the world’s wish fulfillment, the faster the progress bar can be filled.]

[Of course, this also requires the host’s cooperation. If the host is unwilling or dissatisfied, it will also reduce the concentration of the wish.]

Mu Sixue: [So I have to fulfill her wish, and it’s best if I’m willing to do it myself?]

What kind of robber logic was this?

Seeing that Mu Sixue understood immediately, the system was gratified: [The host is smart. The perception of the heart is a two-way street. If you are unwilling, the world’s child’s subconscious will also be able to feel it. If she goes mad…]

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Mu Sixue’s tone paused, and she couldn’t help but complain about this bug. [Don’t you think it’s a bit unreasonable?]

The system checked the wish reduction rate. [Host, so far, the half of the wish that has been fulfilled has not been reduced at all.]

Mu Sixue frowned, in disbelief. [What do you mean, not reduced?]

As the “World’s Child Wish Fulfillment” system, it praised Mu Sixue, the wish fulfillment expert who was just short of becoming a “river snail girl”:

[According to the test, no reduction means that the wish has reached 100% concentration, which means—host, in these four years, 98% of the tasks were completed willingly and happily to fulfill the world’s child’s wish.]

[And what about the other two percent?]

The system was about to speak. Since 98% of the tasks were completed happily, the other two percent, even if they were filled with other emotions.

Mu Sixue’s cheeks grew a little hot. She suddenly said, [Okay, no need to say it.]

The system, undeterred, encouraged Mu Sixue: [Helping others is the root of happiness. Host, in these four years, the more you have helped, the better your mood has become!]

Even her unintentional smiles had increased. Before it went into self-hibernation, it had seen its host secretly open the drawer again and, with a special invisible pen, write two or three more words after the word “cute” on Yan Qinghe’s photo.

It hadn’t seen what Mu Sixue had written, only that the host had written it with a smile.

Mu Sixue bit her lip. Willingly? She recalled Yan Qinghe’s inner desire as she was being treated.

She closed her eyes and turned around, just wanting to go home from the rest area. But she still had to keep her appointment with He Ziyu.

As Mu Sixue was driving, the system couldn’t help but give her a well-meaning reminder: [After completing the wish fulfillment, there is also a hidden side quest running in parallel. This side quest is also related to the stability of this world. Does the host want to accept it?]

Mu Sixue held the steering wheel, a little tired. [What happens if I don’t?]

The system gave an answer. It was rarely allowed to reveal signs of the future. Mu Sixue raised an eyebrow in surprise. [Okay, I agree.]

At that time, she had not yet thought that the completion of this side quest would become a reverse butterfly flapping its wings, a hurricane disturbing the world, and the story’s ending would also be swept in an unknown direction.

Although major events were unpredictable, small things could be foreseen.

Regarding tonight’s appointment, the system could see a little of what was about to happen, but it could only give a friendly and tactful reminder: [Does the host need a pheromone disguise?]

[Isn’t it already in progress?] Mu Sixue stopped the car and asked, puzzled.

System: [It is recommended to add another layer, using the highest level. As a reward for the host’s hard work, Little Tong will set it up for you.]

Before long, a special transparent material was placed in Mu Sixue’s hand. She sniffed it lightly, and a strange feeling filled her heart.

For a moment, her thoughts drifted to Yan Qinghe’s calamansi and lime scent.

He Ziyu’s call came. Remembering the beta girl from her memory, Mu Sixue pushed aside her thoughts, opened the drawer in the car, and carefully put a jade pendant around her neck.

***

He Ziyu’s smile was melodious. After Mu Sixue arrived, she waved her hand and dismissed her subordinates. At the same time, Mu Sixue’s assistants, the second and third assistants, who had driven with her, were also called out.

In the private room with melodious music, exquisite food was laid out, along with drinks and high-end red wine.

Mu Sixue frowned and was about to talk about cooperation when He Ziyu interrupted her.

She asked He Ziyu when she had gone to S County, but the other was also vague.

Mu Sixue lost interest. The time on her watch was getting late. Sichen was still at home. She stood up coldly and was about to leave when He Ziyu suddenly noticed the jade pendant she was wearing, her eyes thoughtful.
