Chapter 7

Mi Rui'an's opinion of her

As Mi Rui'an hurried towards her rented room, she thought it was her imagination. But when she saw the face of the person sitting on the park swing, she suddenly stopped.

It turned out that after Wei Jiangxue secretly wore her clothes, she ran to the small park to sit on the swings.

Mi Rui'an twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

She tiptoed and kept quiet as she approached Wei Jiangxue. She watched as her blind roommate carefully stood up, her expression bewildered, as if she were recalling the way home.

Mi Rui'an almost laughed at her. After admiring Wei Jiangxue's dazed look for a while, she watched as the other person walked to the wrong place.

Finally, Mi Rui'an couldn't help but call out to her, "Wei Jiangxue, what a coincidence, you're here too."

The person opposite her clearly recognized her, and his face showed a variety of expressions: guilty, conflicted, and afraid... It seemed that he also knew about the mistake he had made.

Mi Rui'an suddenly felt like teasing her, so she pretended not to recognize who the clothes belonged to and chatted amicably with Wei Jiangxue.

When the two returned to the rented house, Mi Rui'an saw Wei Jiangxue's restored composure and knew it was time to close the net.

The door opened, and she straightened up. Instead of going in immediately, she gave a malicious sneer, then asked knowingly, "What a coincidence! I've been looking at your clothes and they look familiar. I think I have the same one..."

Mi Rui'an witnessed almost the entire process of Wei Jiangxue's face turning deathly pale. She couldn't bear to blink, unwilling to miss any micro-expression on the other's face.

Why are you acting like that? It's like she's bullied her.

But it was clearly Wei Jiangxue who did the bad thing first.

Mi Rui'an smiled slightly, put his arm around Wei Jiangxue's shoulder and led her into the rented room. The latter seemed to have lost the ability to resist and let the former push her along.

Behind them, the security door was gently locked from the inside.

Upon hearing what Mi Rui'an said, Wei Jiangxue's mind went blank, and she froze on the spot.

The surrounding noise suddenly subsided, and Wei Jiangxue felt as if she were underwater. The water pressure impaired her hearing, making it difficult for her to clearly hear Mi Rui'an's words. The water pressure also made it hard for her to breathe, making it even more difficult for her to open her mouth and say anything.

She didn't even know whether she should be glad that she was blind, so that she wouldn't have to see the expression on Mi Rui'an's face when she said those words, and avoid making herself even more embarrassed.

It's okay, calm down. Let's assume she was originally a cannon fodder Alpha; how would she react after the protagonist exposes her?

And did Mi Rui'an really recognize her things? Judging from the other party's voice alone, Wei Jiangxue couldn't tell whether she was teasing her or was really that naive.

What Mi Rui'an thinks or does is not important. What Wei Jiangxue should do now is to continue to maintain this shameless and rogue Alpha persona. Apart from that, she doesn't need to worry about anything.

First of all, the audacity to brazenly steal her roommate's personal belongings and then dare to wear them out in public is something most thieves wouldn't possess. Therefore, she absolutely cannot appear too flustered; she must remain as arrogant as ever.

Wei Jiangxue forcefully suppressed her panic, took a deep breath, regained her strength, and said with feigned contempt, "Hmph, what good things could you possibly buy? You must be mistaken. This dress of mine was custom-made by a studio, how could it possibly be the same as yours?"

Wei Jiangxue began to distort the truth and try to confuse Mi Rui'an's perception.

Please, please don't forget what clothes are in your closet!

She prayed silently in her heart, that even if she couldn't see, she should keep her eyes fixed on the front, as if she were looking directly at Mi Rui'an.

Mi Rui'an remained silent. Wei Jiangxue's legs were getting sore and numb from standing. She hesitated, wondering whether she should say something else.

Just then, Mi Rui'an said, "Ah, so it was custom-made. Maybe I really remembered wrong. Buying too many clothes causes this little trouble."

Yes, that's it. Wei Jiangxue immediately relaxed: "You idiots are all like that, you have such bad memories. Let's stop here for today. Thanks for bringing me back, I'm going inside now, don't bother me unless it's important."

She was about to take a step, but suddenly stopped in her tracks—when Mi Rui'an embraced her and walked into the rented room, Wei Jiangxue had no idea where she was.

She didn't dare to ask Mi Rui'an directly, so she simply used her cane and hands to explore the things around her.

"Mi Rui'an should be in front of me..." Wei Jiangxue thought to herself, and first walked to the left. Her white cane encountered an obstacle, and Wei Jiangxue's hand touched something warm and soft.

Wei Jiangxue screamed and stumbled backward, her back hitting the wall.

Shouldn't Mi Rui'an be in front of her? How come she's on her left? Wasn't she just talking to thin air with a straight face?

How hilarious! Mi Rui'an is really something, just watching her talk to thin air, she has no sense of propriety, she doesn't even know to move in front of her!

If Wei Jiangxue's speechlessness and embarrassment were turned into water, it could flood the entire apartment she was renting, and drown her as well.

"Are you alright?" Mi Rui'an seemed startled by Wei Jiangxue's reaction and immediately stepped forward to help her.

However, Wei Jiangxue slapped her hand away forcefully, felt around on the wall to regain her spatial awareness of the rental apartment, and returned to her room without saying a word.

Mi Rui'an stood there, listening to her usually quiet Alpha roommate stomping on the floor with a deafening roar, as if she were stomping on someone she disliked.

She lowered her head, staring at the red mark on the back of her hand, and suddenly smiled.

[My God, host, you're the most amazing host in the world! I was gone for two hours, and you completed the mission all by yourself, even achieving an S-rank rating!!!]

As soon as it returned to Wei Jiangxue's side, System 233 started shouting and praising Wei Jiangxue wildly.

Wei Jiangxue really wanted to mute it: "Stop talking, I've made a huge fool of myself today!"

[Is it related to the main character of the mission?]

233 guessed it pretty accurately with just a casual guess.

Wei Jiangxue buried her head under the covers, and her voice came out from inside, dropping to a lower pitch: "Hmm... She just happened to see me wandering around in her clothes, but she didn't seem to recognize them as hers, so I rudely belittled her again."

233 was a little confused: [But it was done pretty well.]

"The key point is—Mi Rui'an actually made me talk to a ball of thin air! I always thought she was standing in front of me! She didn't even remind me! Well, now she has seen my heroic posture of talking to thin air..." Wei Jiangxue didn't expect 233 to understand her; she was just venting her emotions in a random way.

【How infuriating! That's right, she didn't even tell you!】233 immediately joined Wei Jiangxue in criticizing the protagonist, Mi Rui'an.

After everyone finished their rant, Wei Jiangxue felt much better. She thought for a moment and then said, "You taught me yesterday not to release pheromones randomly, and I controlled myself well today. I didn't leave any freesia scent in Mi Rui'an's room. But the protagonist is also amazing. I smelled her clothes, and she really didn't leak a single trace of pheromones. It was all the synthetic rose fragrance from the market."

[Of course, Mi Rui'an is the main character after all. Besides, her uncle is looking for her right now. If she reveals her pheromones, not to mention whether it would harm the Alphas or Omegas around her, she would definitely be found and taken back by Mi Feng.]

233 Actually, I also quite like the protagonist, Mi Rui'an. She is a rare beauty, and she looks extremely pleasing to the eye when she stands next to Wei Jiangxue.

It didn't tell Wei Jiangxue, but every time the cannon fodder A and the protagonist O appeared together, it recorded videos and secretly created CP-themed content. Now, on the social media platforms used by the systems, these Wei Jiangxue x Mi Rui'an fanfiction works posted by 233 are quite popular.

Thinking about missing another interaction between Wei Jiangxue and Mi Rui'an today, 233 felt a little regretful. It promised, "Next time, I'll try my best not to let the unexpected mission from the Transmigration Bureau affect you. I'll follow up properly."

Wei Jiangxue had no idea what System 233 was thinking, and was immediately moved: "233...you are such a good system, I will also try my best to complete the mission!"

"However... I forgot to ask before, will Mi Rui'an's pheromones affect me? It's such an over-the-top pheromone setting that it causes adverse physical reactions in Alphas and Omegas. I don't want to be affected by her pheromones, it would definitely be very uncomfortable."

[Don't worry. Let's not even talk about whether we'll encounter Mi Rui'an exposing her pheromones in this world. Even if we do, I'll immediately block your sense of smell. Pheromones are generally detected through the olfactory organs. If the concentration is too high, your skin and other parts of your body might feel uncomfortable, but most of the time no one releases that many pheromones.]

System 233 gave a very confident answer: with it around, Wei Jiangxue would be absolutely unharmed.

[Oh, right, also, although I set your pheromone level to be very high, it will be subject to limitations. After all, I'm just cannon fodder playing the role of a system employee, and you're playing cannon fodder as well. Theoretically, you can't possess abilities exceeding the protagonist's. Therefore, in front of the protagonist, your pheromones might undergo other random adjustments. What exactly that might be depends on the arrangements of this small world.]

Wei Jiangxue looked bewildered: "What influences the consciousness of that small world? Will it weaken me?"

[The consciousness of this small world primarily depends on the chosen one of its destiny, the protagonist of our mission. Whatever her subconscious desires you to become, you will likely become that way. If things truly come to that point and the situation becomes unfavorable to you, I will provide emergency assistance. The staff of the Transmigration Bureau will do their utmost to ensure the safety of every host.]

Wei Jiangxue blinked, so it still depends on Mi Rui'an's opinion of her...

Wouldn't that just be the end of it? Wei Jiangxue felt a sense of utter darkness ahead; it seemed she would have to carefully conceal her pheromones. At least she could suppress some minor characters, though she couldn't possibly contend with the main protagonist.
