Song Jinzhi gradually woke up around ten in the morning. As she opened her eyes, she realized she wasn't in her familiar room. Suddenly, like a startled cat, she sat up abruptly. Then, she remembered that she was at a hot spring resort, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed. Glancing at the bed that had been empty for a while, she realized that she had actually been able to sleep soundly while alone with Gu Sijiu. Even she found it somewhat unbelievable.
Song Jinzhi remembered that she had had trouble falling asleep last night. The pheromones emanating from Gu Sijiu in the room were quite distinct, and although the scent wasn't unpleasant, it made it hard for Song Jinzhi to relax and fall asleep. Eventually, she must have fallen asleep due to exhaustion, but Song Jinzhi vaguely recalled waking up once during the night. At that time, she sensed a strong scent, a fragrance belonging to Gu Sijiu.
High compatibility between an Alpha and an Omega often allows them to sense each other's thoughts and intentions through the pheromones emitted by one another. In her semi-conscious state, Song Jinzhi felt a calling and sensed a gentle touch against her body. The pleasant scent brought an indescribable sense of security that made it hard for her to resist, causing her to unconsciously move closer to Gu Sijiu and eventually sleep peacefully until now.
Reflecting on everything, Song Jinzhi found it hard to believe it had actually happened. After all, she could feel secure around anyone but would never have such feelings for someone like Gu Sijiu, whom she considered scumbag. The sense of discord made Song Jinzhi restless, even leading her to suspect whether Gu Sijiu had actually lost her memory, otherwise, how could there be such a drastic change?
She refrained from mocking herself, and even when she smelled the pheromones of another Alpha on herself that day, she didn't fly into a rage. Moreover, even Han Han had become willing to get closer to her. Thinking about all this, Song Jinzhi felt that Gu Sijiu didn't seem like she had lost her memory, it was more like she had become a different person. Frowning, she looked back at the pillow and found a deep cherry-colored long hair on it. Since Gu Sijiu hadn't returned, she carefully picked up the strand of hair, wrapped it in a tissue, and then placed it in her bag. Song Jinzhi was suspicious, especially regarding matters like this, so it was better to be cautious.
After taking care of these things, Song Jinzhi got up, freshened up, changed her clothes, and waited for the driver to pick them up. She went out to have the breakfast provided by the waiter and learned that Gu Sijiu had already had breakfast early and had gone to soak in the hot spring again. After eating her meal, Song Jinzhi returned to the room, just in time to see Gu Sijiu coming back from the hot springs.
She was wearing a loose white bathrobe, which subtly revealed her shoulders and collarbone, reddened from the hot spring. In a good mood, she hummed a song as she poured herself a glass of juice and sat down in a rocking chair to drink. Song Jinzhi looked at her speechlessly, feeling that she had truly treated this trip as a vacation, completely oblivious to the different 'intentions' of her own parents.
"You seem quite at leisure." Song Jinzhi couldn't help but comment. Hearing the dissatisfaction in her tone, Gu Sijiu turned around to see that Song Jinzhi was already dressed and sitting up straight.
"Of course, it's rare to come to a place like this. Shouldn't we relax a bit? But you, looking all tense, make me think you're here to work."
Gu Sijiu took a sip of her juice and looked Song Jinzhi up and down. From the very beginning of her time in this world, she knew that the other person's personality was the most difficult for her to deal with. Apart from always speaking coldly to her, she also seemed excessively conservative and ascetic. These types of people were too rational, always considering many factors, which often led to neglecting themselves. Gu Sijiu, on the other hand, prioritized enjoyment. Thinking about it, Song Jinzhi was only 25, how could she be more mature than herself?
"If I had come by myself, I would have been happy to enjoy it. But when I'm with someone I dislike, I can't relax no matter where it is." Song Jinzhi frowned as she looked at Gu Sijiu, who had the audacity to turn the tables on her. She felt a mix of anger and helplessness. It felt as if she had aged ten years in an instant, unable to vent her frustration or distance herself from Gu Sijiu. Gu Sijiu was like a mosquito, always buzzing around, annoying and persistent.
"Wow, so you finally said you dislike me? Wooden face, I actually don't like you much either." Gu Sijiu said, then abruptly walked towards Song Jinzhi. She stood in front of her, causing Song Jinzhi to instinctively tense up, only to see Gu Sijiu pick up the juice beside her and pour it into a new cup, offering it to her.
Song Jinzhi was slightly surprised by this gesture, not expecting Gu Sijiu to act this way. She watched Gu Sijiu hold the glass up for a long time before she lifted her hand to take it and sipped a little. Although she disliked Gu Sijiu, she felt that basic etiquette was still necessary, so she said thank you. Then she heard Gu Sijiu smack her lips.
"This was given by the receptionist. If it's not finished and we can't take it with us, it's better to give it to you than waste it." Gu Sijiu's nonchalant words left Song Jinzhi momentarily frozen, staring at the juice she held, labeled as "not to be taken away if unfinished," blinking in surprise. She felt that Gu Sijiu had indeed changed a bit, but she still found her very annoying. Before, Gu Sijiu had been the type that made people want to stay far away, but now she was the type that made people unable to resist wanting to hit her.
The two of them rested in the room for a while. Before long, Uncle Zhang's car arrived at the door. Gu Sijiu and Song Jinzhi got in the car together. They didn't plan to return to the Song family but instead had Uncle Zhang take them directly to their own home. Looking at the refreshed Gu Sijiu and then at Song Jinzhi's haggard face, Uncle Zhang felt a bit puzzled. He thought to himself that his young miss's complexion was far worse than that of Major General Gu, and the two of them didn't seem like they had gone on vacation to the same place at all.
After arriving home, Song Jinzhi planned to go upstairs to catch up on sleep. Gu Sijiu, who had eaten well and slept well the day before, went to the specially equipped gym upstairs to work out, thinking that the original owner had a good figure and that she needed to maintain it. Gu Sijiu spent the entire afternoon in the gym, even having dinner there. After night fell, a video call came in. Seeing the caller ID, Gu Sijiu answered, and Evie's radiant smile appeared on the screen.
"Gu, want to go out for a drink? How about the bar we went to last time?" Evie sat at the bar, looking like she was alone. After the last time they met, they exchanged contact information and had become drinking buddies to pass the time. When Evie invited her this time, Gu Sijiu agreed without much thought.
By the time Gu Sijiu arrived at the bar, Evie had already had a few drinks. Seeing her wave, Gu Sijiu walked over and sat beside her, drawing the attention of many people in the bar. Evie was a regular at this bar, and many of her admirers came specifically for her. Since she arrived, she had been the center of attention. As for Gu Sijiu, although she wasn't a regular, she also attracted a fair amount of attention when she entered.
Most people were intrigued by her looks and style, and when they caught a whiff of her Alpha scent, they were usually surprised. After all, it was rare to see an Alpha dressed so seductively, giving off a vibrant, Omega-like vibe. Unfortunately, Gu Sijiu's scent clearly indicated to everyone that she was an Alpha. Seeing Gu Sijiu sit next to Evie, two outstanding individuals together, an Alpha and an Omega, the clever ones quickly dismissed any thoughts of approaching them.
"It's been a few days since we last met. Why do you look so radiant? What's going on? Did you have a good heat cycle with your Omega at home?" Evie looked Gu Sijiu up and down and couldn't help but whistle at her. Gu Sijiu didn't want her to misunderstand, so she directly interrupted Evie's assumptions. "What do you mean by radiant? I just soaked in a hot spring. But I do think my skin has improved lately." Hearing Evie compliment her made Gu Sijiu feel a little pleased. She had been putting effort into her skincare routine, and it had indeed paid off.
Seeing Gu Sijiu's delighted expression, Evie was puzzled. She felt that Gu Sijiu was different from most Alphas. Many female Alphas focused on power and authority and, while they cared about their appearance, they would never neglect other aspects for beauty. However, Gu Sijiu seemed to only care about looking good every day, much like Evie herself.
Just like tonight, even though they were only going out for drinks, Gu Sijiu wore a new dress and red high heels, with exquisite eye makeup and a soft pink lipstick. Every color combination was perfect, and her makeup skills were impressive. As far as Evie knew, Gu Sijiu was a soldier. Could it be that today's Alphas were all this alluring? No, that couldn't be right, only Gu Sijiu was so flamboyant.
"Order whatever you want, it's on me." Evie said, subtly taking advantage by touching Gu Sijiu's waist. Gu Sijiu had a slim but firm waist, and Evie could vaguely feel the muscle texture. Well, she looked good and had a nice figure, it was a pity she couldn't sleep with her, Evie thought to herself.
"Just the usual is fine. What made you suddenly want to drink today?" Gu Sijiu replied as she took the drink the bartender served her and took a small sip. Just as Evie was about to say something, a fairly attractive female Beta approached them, exuding a refined air. However, Evie understood that if this person was truly as she appeared, she wouldn't be here nor would she come over to strike up a conversation.
"Can I call you Evie?" The other person was very friendly, obviously, she knew who Evie was, making her intentions very clear.
"Sure, but before calling someone by their name, shouldn't you at least let me know your name?"
"Hello, I'm Angela. You can call me Ann."
Angela smiled, quite satisfied with Evie asking for her name. From the moment Evie entered, she noticed this Omega, she was more enticing than anyone else in the bar. Her honey-colored skin looked very alluring, even in pants, one could imagine the long legs and curvy hips underneath.
Angela knew that many people in the bar knew Evie. After observing others for a bit, she learned about Evie's favorite drinks and preferences. Just as she was about to make her move, Gu Sijiu's sudden appearance intercepted her. Everyone else couldn't find a way in, but Angela noticed the wedding ring on Gu Sijiu's hand, indicating she was a married Alpha. It was this observation that prompted her to strike up a conversation.
"I thought you'd prefer the person next to me over me." Evie said, pointing to Gu Sijiu. Angela glanced over, although she had been impressed by Gu Sijiu's appearance earlier, she preferred the vibe Evie gave off.
"Although this Alpha is very charming, my heart tells me it belongs to you." Angela opened her wristwatch, making her intentions clear. Evie smiled and exchanged contact information with her, getting what she wanted. Angela left with a smile, not lingering, which satisfied Evie.
"So quick to decide?" Seeing Evie exchange contact information with Angela so straightforwardly, Gu Sijiu was a bit surprised. Evie wasn't particularly interested in Angela, but she was a smart person, and Evie liked dealing with intelligent people. Moreover, this Beta seemed nice and met her standards.
"It's nothing, just exchanging contact information first. What? Are you jealous?" Evie smiled, leaning against Gu Sijiu and taking in the pleasant scent emanating from her. Gu Sijiu naturally didn't buy into her act, she knew that when Evie exchanged contact information, it meant she was open to further developments with that person.
"Yeah, I'm so jealous I could die. I've turned into a big lemon, are you satisfied with that?" Gu Sijiu said with a cheeky smile, her peach blossom eyes were naturally charming and curved when she smiled, with the corners of her eyes raised.
"Really? Hearing you say that makes me very happy. So, how about you accompany me tonight and let me sleep with you?" Evie said with a smile, and Gu Sijiu felt she was joking, naturally, she didn't take it seriously and pouted, pretending to ask for a kiss.
Seeing Gu Sijiu up close, Evie was momentarily entranced. She had never seen an Alpha like Gu Sijiu before. The fresh scent emanating from her at that moment was intoxicating, and her bright red lips were irresistibly enticing. Seeing the smile in her eyes, Evie even found it more intoxicating than alcohol. Unfortunately, this jerk of an Alpha, Gu Sijiu, was completely unaware of her own allure and even spoke nonsense.
"Sure, how do you plan to sleep with me then?"
