Chapter 3 Mr. Fu
Ji Xia suddenly jumped up from the ground. His weak body made him feel dizzy and it took him a while to recover.
He didn't have time to think about it, he saw a door next to him and rushed in. After entering, he found that this was a cloakroom, filled with many clothes and expensive watches and accessories.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Ji Xia looked around the cloakroom, quickly took out a large suitcase, put it flat in the corner, and stuffed himself into it.
When Ji Chengguo was a child, he would hit people when he was drunk, and he would often hide in the broken suitcase that his mother kept under the bed. The suitcase gave him a sense of security.
"Dengdengdeng——"
The approaching footsteps were getting closer and closer. Ji Xia held his breath and listened carefully to the sound coming from through a door.
Fu Yuan frowned slightly when he saw a pair of worn white shoes at the entrance. He knew it was just a facade from his stepfather to give him another Omega.
Alphas are extremely territorial and are extremely repulsive to strangers intruding on their private territory, especially top-tier Alphas. His stepfather, knowing full well that he loathes Omegas, continues to tirelessly send people to him. He does this to both please the old man and disgust him.
His expression was stern, his eyes dark, and he already felt disgust towards this Omega he hadn't even met yet. He didn't find the little O in the bedroom, and there was no smell of Omega in the air.
He looked around carefully and soon found clues on the carpet.
He followed the trail and pushed open the cloakroom door. His eyes moved only slightly before they fell on the large suitcase that stood out from the crowd on the floor. On the edge of the suitcase, he saw a little white hem of clothing.
Fu Yuan was thirty years old this year. He had been the head of the Fu family for eight years and had seen countless Omegas try every possible means to get their hands on him. The fact that this little O was pulling so many tricks showed how scheming he was.
Fu Yuan's lips curled up into a cold smile, and he lowered his eyes to stare at the suitcase on the ground. "I'll give you three seconds to get out of here. Otherwise, I'll throw the suitcase out the window."
Ji Xia was so frightened that he dared not breathe and his body began to tremble.
He knew that this Alpha was very fierce and would do what he said.
"60 seconds to change clothes, 59, 58..."
“3, 2…”
Obviously, Fu Yuan's countdown was up earlier, and Ji Xia was at his wit's end, sweating profusely. Just then, an idea suddenly struck him: a good way to delay time.
He opened his eyes wide in the darkness and shouted, "Wait a moment, just a moment. I'll be there soon. Please wait..."
Before Ji Xia could finish his words, he flipped 90 degrees and immediately felt the sound of wheels sliding across the floor. He was horrified, thinking Alpha was really going to throw him out.
“22, 21…”
Ji Xia felt his body floating in the air and he couldn't wait any longer.
“9, 8…”
With a trembling hand, Ji Xia unzipped the suitcase. The lid of the suitcase opened without support, and Ji Xia lost his balance and fell to the floor.
At the same time, a muffled "bang" sounded from outside the window, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet evening. If he had been a step later, he would have fallen down to the second floor with the box.
"0. Dress-up successful!"
After hearing the system's prompt, Ji Xia didn't feel relaxed at all. He didn't even have the energy to care about the pain in his body because his attention was completely taken away by the gaze cast on him.
Ji Xia looked up and met a pair of cold eyes. His heart trembled, and a chill ran down his spine. He was too frightened to move.
The man in front of me was as fierce as in my dream.
His facial features were sharp and extremely aggressive. The way he looked at him was like a large beast looking at a small thing that suddenly broke into its territory, looking down at him with disdain and disgust.
Ji Xia swallowed hard, reached out a trembling hand, and rubbed his chest, trying to calm his frightened heart. He kept his head tilted back, strained his eyes, and called out, "Mr. Fu," in a trembling voice.
Fu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at him without moving or speaking.
The cool breeze of the summer night blew in through the open window, bringing a slight coolness.
Ji Xia's forehead was covered in sweat. Things were going a little differently than in his dream. Mr. Fu hadn't strangled him. He racked his brains, searching for something to say to break the silence and convince Mr. Fu to let him stay.
He pursed his lips and said, "I...I'm very capable."
He was still weak and frightened, so his voice was soft, as if he was acting coquettishly.
Fu Yuan's eyes grew even colder, and he asked, "How can you do it?"
Ji Xia didn't know why Mr. Fu looked at him with even more disgust, but he didn't care about that. He was just eager to promote himself.
"I'm good at cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry. I can also mow your lawn and wash your car. I'm pretty good at climbing walls, so I can help you clean the windows."
Fu Yuan stopped talking again.
Ji Xia was a little anxious and continued, "I made...the cake is delicious."
After he finished speaking, the tips of his ears turned red and his eyes looked away evasively. He was actually just an apprentice in a bakery for 5 years and had never made a cake before.
He just thought that Mr. Fu would definitely prefer beautiful cakes to gray bread...
Although the chef said that what he made was shit, the customers all liked his bread very much. If he could make cakes, he would try his best to do it well.
Fu Yuan said coldly, "I hate sweets the most."
Ji Xia stared at Fu Yuan with eyes wide open. The fear in his cat-like eyes had faded a bit due to his astonishment. He couldn't understand why someone would hate sweets.
But he didn't dare to say anything, and only asked in a low voice: "What does Mr. Fu like?"
Fu Yuan: "You want to know?"
Ji Xia felt a glimmer of hope. If he could know what Mr. Fu liked and cater to his tastes, perhaps he could keep the boss's support.
His face was very serious. He nodded seriously and solemnly and said, "I do."
Fu Yuan: "But I don't want to tell you."
Ji Xia pursed his lips, his face revealing a look of unsightly disappointment. His bright eyes seemed to have lost their soul, and they were lifeless. He asked, "Then... what can Mr. Fu tell me?"
Fu Yuan: "Nothing."
Ji Xia's heart sank to the bottom, but he still tried hard to say: "I have a small appetite, I only need to eat two meals a day. Sleeping in the attic or the storage room is no problem. I can also work and earn money. As long as you let me live here, I can, I can..."
Ji Xia's face was distorted with heartache, but she still made up her mind and handed over her last bargaining chip. "I can give you half of the money I earn."
Fu Yuan suddenly asked: "Why do you want to live here?"
Ji Xia lowered her head and wanted to say, "He has no home anymore," but before she could say it, she changed it to, "I have nowhere to go."
Fu Yuan raised his hand, pinched Ji Xia's chin and lifted it up, saying, "Aren't you dressed up as a kitten? Let me hear you meow."
Ji Xia didn't understand what Fu Yuan meant. He wasn't dressed as a kitten. But he still called out "meow~" obediently.
Fu Yuan chuckled and said, "I don't keep useless people around me. I'll give you two days to prove that you're useful to me. Otherwise, go back to where you came from."
Ji Xia's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly, "Mr. Fu, I am very useful. I will definitely prove it."
Fu Yuan said, "There's no storage room here, so you can live in the attic."
Ji Xia said, "Thank you, Mr. Fu."
Just as Fu Yuan was about to turn around, he heard a loud "gurgle" sound, which made him pause on his toes before turning around.
Ji Xia didn't expect his stomach to growl at this moment, and his whole body turned red like a tomato.
He hadn't eaten since waking up in the hospital. From the moment he saw Chen Chaofei, tension and fear occupied all his attention, and he didn't even realize he was hungry.
Now that the matter is settled and I can relax, hunger pangs.
He was afraid that Fu Yuan would think he could eat and regret it, so he immediately said loudly to Alpha's back: "I'm not hungry."
Fu Yuan didn't even turn his head. "There are ingredients in the refrigerator. Make whatever you want."
Ji Xia felt that Mr. Fu didn't seem that fierce.
Ji Xia took a slow step out of the bedroom, and when she reached the door, she could no longer see Mr. Fu.
He looked around and instead of going downstairs to the kitchen, he went upstairs to the attic to check. He wanted to finish cleaning up first and then go downstairs to eat a bowl of noodles.
But when he pushed open the attic door, Ji Xia was stunned.
The attic he imagined was cluttered with things, covered in dust, and home to bugs, cockroaches, and rats. The attic before him was spotless, exquisitely decorated and luxurious, with a sofa, a bathroom, a bookshelf, and all kinds of electronic products.
It was a luxury he couldn't even dream of.
Ji Xia suddenly felt that he was so bold and shameless to suggest sleeping in the attic.
He walked into the attic cautiously and walked around. He stopped in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror and his eyes widened in surprise.
In the floor-length mirror, he looked pale and haggard, with a red, swollen slap mark on his left cheek. He was wearing an ill-fitting pink suit: a tube top with shorts. He had a pair of cat ears on his head, a collar around his neck, and a cat tail behind him.
The pink suit was too big and hung loosely on her body.
The whole person looks thin and small, pitiful and a little funny.
Ji Xia suddenly realized what was happening. No wonder Mr. Fu agreed to give him two more days. Anyone who saw someone in such a miserable state would be moved to pity.
Just as he thought of the system, the system's cold mechanical sound rang out.
"Congratulations, host. Boss's favorability +2."
"Due to a system malfunction, the costume change failed, and the compensation mechanism has been activated. This time, the host can use only two points of favorability to exchange for a chance to open the wardrobe. Do you want to use it now?"
Ji Xia thought for a moment and asked, "Does favorability mean liking someone? Mr. Fu likes me a little now? If I use it, will the favorability disappear?"
"Host, don't worry. It only consumes system points."
Ji Xia pursed her lips and said, "Use it."
Even though he thought the cat ears outfit was a little weird, it worked so well even with the malfunction. If he could change the outfit successfully, wouldn't he be able to just keep it?!
Ji Xia's mind was full of calculations.
"Fifteen minutes left before changing clothes. Please wait."
There was nothing to clean up in the attic, so Ji Xia went downstairs to the kitchen to cook while waiting, and also thought about making some midnight snacks for Mr. Fu to show his value.
·
In the shadow of the sycamore tree not far from the villa, Chen Chaofei kept checking his watch impatiently, muttering to himself, "Almost an hour has passed, why hasn't that country boy O come out yet?"
He waited for another fifteen minutes, and finally couldn't hold back any longer and prepared to go into the villa to check the situation.
Chen Chaofei, following Mr. Jian's orders, helped Fu Yuan find a highly compatible Omega for five years, so he naturally understood how much Fu Yuan hated Omegas.
Over the past five years, more than seventy Omegas, no matter how beautiful, have been unable to stay at the villa. A useless little O from the countryside certainly couldn't stay either.
I guess he fainted after falling down the stairs...
He curled the corners of his mouth and thought that this was a good thing, he could take it home quietly.
