CHAPTER 28

Ye Chengxing had a dream.

She dreamt of Li Jia.

The setting was still in the bathroom.

The misty bathroom with its steam, the Omega's amber-colored pupils, and the hazy atmosphere resembled water.

Everything seemed to be covered in a warm and ambiguous yet enchanting pure white tone.

She and her body were so close.

"A splash—" was the sound of someone standing up from the water.

Water droplets splashed, making the clothes that were already wet stick even more to their bodies.

Li Jia reached out, her fingertips grazing Ye Chengxing's clothes. They called it clothes, but because they were completely soaked, it felt more like a direct touch, with only a thin layer of fabric separating their skin. The sensation of her fingertips grazing over it made it even more indescribable.

Ye Chengxing felt like she couldn't see clearly. She believed she was probably dreaming, but the current scene and reality were blurred and difficult to distinguish.

Li Jia's tone remained as gentle and pitiful as always, and her words seemed no different from her memories, but upon closer examination, they were quite different: "I got Sister's clothes wet, and Sister also got me wet. What should we do about this..."

As she spoke, she leaned closer, and the scent of white peaches, her pheromones, instantly enveloped Ye Chengxing like a blooming morning flower, juicy and exuding a sweet fragrance.

Familiar Li Jia, yet unfamiliar in appearance and demeanor.

Ye Chengxing felt a bit flustered, wanting to retreat and instinctively wanting to avert her gaze.

But the bathtub was so small, and even if she tried to retreat, she would only back up until her back touched the edge of the tub.

Attempting to avoid her, her chin was held firmly, and Omega leaned her upper body forward, parting her legs and half-straddling her.

She held her chin, getting closer again, her tone gentle: "Why is Sister avoiding me?"

As she said that, she held her other hand, guiding her to touch the blooming flower, blinking her eyelashes and asking, "Isn't it wet?"

Innocent yet overly seductive.

Ye Chengxing's cheeks turned rosy, and the sensation that transmitted from her fingertips was so vivid.

Especially when she felt like leaving, she softly trembled and even brushed her fingertips against her own.

Morning dew covered her hands entirely, and Ye Chengxing's fingertips trembled in response.

As if pleased by her reaction, Li Jia curved her lips into a smile, and the hand holding Alpha's chin didn't retract. Instead, it lifted upwards, forcing Ye Chengxing to raise her head.

Just as Li Jia was about to kiss her lips, Ye Chengxing abruptly woke up.

Her first reaction was relief, thinking that everything just now was indeed just a dream.

But as she saw herself and Li Jia's posture, the relaxed expression that hadn't appeared yet froze in an instant.

Clearly, before sleeping, it was the Omega tightly holding her, but when she woke up, the person she was tightly holding turned out to be herself.

She even had her hand placed on Li Jia's waist, and the sleeping gown on Li Jia had been lifted up quite a bit.

It seemed like an unconscious action she had made in the dream just now.

Li Jia was already awake, but upon feeling her movements, she didn't react, as if she didn't know what to do, enduring her actions like that.

Ye Chengxing was frozen for a few seconds, the images of the dream still so clear in her mind, especially when she looked at their current posture with Li Jia in reality. She had just...touched the other person. The dream scene seemed to have suddenly become reality.

Ye Chengxing was even more flustered than in the dream, almost closing her eyes and quickly tidying up Li Jia's sleeping gown. She muttered a quick "I'm sorry" without daring to look again and swiftly fled from the room.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but feel disgusted with herself in her mind.

Oh heaven.

Li Jia trusted her, relied on her, saw her as an older sister figure. She just wanted to innocently sleep with her, but look at what she had done?

And, and...she even had that kind of dream. Li Jia would probably be disgusted with her once she found out.

Thinking of this, Ye Chengxing felt even more ashamed.

What was she doing? Who knows, Li Jia might already be starting to hate her.

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Chengxing returned to her own room, but even after washing up, she couldn't calm down.

She couldn't sit still at all.

Sitting on her bed, there was a moment when she didn't even want to go out and see Li Jia.

She wasn't young anymore, and it was normal for adults to have these kinds of thoughts that align with physiological development, and it was also normal to dream about such things. But...dreaming about her own sister?

It must be because she had been with Li Jia all these days, and her main contact was only with Li Jia. With constant thoughts day and night, it shouldn't be that she had those kinds of feelings towards Li Jia.

Thinking like this and then thinking again, Ye Chengxing felt her heart settle down a bit.

The most important thing was that she looked at the time and realized it was almost time to make breakfast, so she hesitated and pushed open the door to go out.

However, before leaving the room, she still anxiously glanced at the corridor and made sure Li Jia wasn't there before daring to step out.

Just after having that kind of dream, she truly felt embarrassed when facing Li Jia, not knowing what to do.

However, no matter how she tried to avoid it, living in the same environment meant they would definitely encounter each other.

As soon as Ye Chengxing stepped into the kitchen, she saw Li Jia.

The Omega was holding a freshly made breakfast, still steaming hot, and when she saw Ye Chengxing, she smiled and said, "I was just thinking of calling Sister to have breakfast."

Ye Chengxing awkwardly responded without daring to look at her, her gaze falling on the breakfast plate as she approached and took a portion, grabbing a pair of chopsticks along the way. "Did you make this?"

As soon as she asked, she felt like she had asked a stupid question. It couldn't be Li Jia who made it, right? Was it Xiaobai?

"Yes," Li Jia looked somewhat nervous upon hearing her question. "I watched Sister make it a few times before, and I learned some simple things. It might not be as delicious as Sister's..."

Ye Chengxing observed Li Jia's expression.

The nervousness displayed by the Omega seemed to be completely due to the question she asked. As for what happened in the morning when they woke up, it seemed to have no impact at all.

...I wonder if Li Jia also feels embarrassed, so she's skipping over it directly.

"No, it looks delicious." Ye Chengxing said, feeling the weight of various thoughts pressing heavily on her heart. Saying that, they walked side by side to the dining table.

After sitting down and taking a bite of the breakfast Li Jia made, Ye Chengxing genuinely praised, "It's really delicious."

To be able to make such a delicious and delicate breakfast just by looking at it was truly impressive.

Ye Chengxing continued to give more compliments.

"As long as Sister likes it." Li Jia met her gaze, visibly delighted.

Looking at her innocent expression, Ye Chengxing was almost overwhelmed by guilt and shame. She couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and apologize again, "I'm really sorry about this morning, I..."

But Li Jia didn't let her finish her sentence. She smiled, her tone full of trust, "It's okay, I know Sister didn't mean it."

Faced with her unwavering trust, Ye Chengxing didn't know what to say for a moment.

Amidst the guilt and shame in her heart, along with various mixed emotions, her mind was in complete disarray.

Li Jia naturally noticed Ye Chengxing's complicated expression.

In fact, if it wasn't for Ye Chengxing's own actions, there would have been a considerable distance between them, and it was her who had lifted up her dress.

Seeing Ye Chengxing's tangled and complex expression, Li Jia innocently blinked her eyes.

She faintly sensed a slightly unusual meaning amidst the other's anxious emotions.

Ye Chengxing's gaze evaded and dared not meet Li Jia's directly. It shouldn't be solely because of her actions, right?

If that's the case...

Li Jia planned in her heart, maintaining a calm expression that perfectly depicted the image of a well-behaved younger sister.

Ye Chengxing became even more restless, but she had barely eaten much of the breakfast in front of her. She was afraid that Li Jia might think her previous compliments about the breakfast were just casual remarks. So, she put down her chopsticks after eating a bit more. After all, it was Li Jia's first time making breakfast, and it was made for her. She needed to take it seriously.

But just as she put down her chopsticks, Ye Chengxing heard Li Jia calling her.

"Sister..."

She looked at Li Jia, whose figure as an Omega was somewhat blurred in the morning sunlight, involuntarily reminding her of that rosy dream.

Coincidentally, her phone rang, and when Ye Chengxing checked it, she found a message from her assistant informing her that they had gathered some information about Lin Que's situation.

As if she had found a suitable excuse, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly typed "Let's talk in person" on the screen, then turned her head apologetically towards Li Jia. "Xiaoli, I suddenly have something urgent to take care of. I might have to go out for a while."

After saying that, Ye Chengxing hurriedly began changing her clothes.

Li Jia's words were abruptly cut off.

She watched Ye Chengxing's hurried figure and her expression became more contemplative.
