CHAPTER 58

Lin Xuan was on the verge of being scared to death. If he could choose to faint, he would definitely choose to faint without hesitation at this moment.

He had brought many people with him, and each one of them was strong. They had come with the intention of tormenting others to the point of death. After they got tired of it, they would take some pictures and spread them on the StarNet to vent their anger.

But this Omega, how could she turn the tables on them?

However, this Omega was simply a lunatic! While others would collapse when injured, she seemed unaffected by her injuries, becoming more and more frenzied as the fight went on.

He widened his eyes in terror, desperately wanting to faint but unable to.

By the time Ye Chengxing arrived, the students who had finished their exams had already surrounded the area.

Through the gaps in the crowd, she could only see a mess on the ground, with sticks, pipes, and cameras scattered everywhere. The blood on the ground was so mixed together that it was hard to tell whose it was, some of it already congealed.

She anxiously tried to move forward, but then she heard everyone around her gasp and the sound of discussions. Some people shouted to stop and to get someone from security to intervene.

"I heard they called the hospital. Where are the security guards? Can't someone go up and handle this?"

"I heard they're rushing over here, but who would dare to approach in this situation? Are they asking for death?"

"She's simply a monster..."

Although there were many people present, not a single person dared to approach due to fear.

"Excuse me, thank you. I need to get through."

There were simply too many onlookers, and Ye Chengxing struggled to get to a slightly closer position.

She took a breath and looked up, trying to find Li Jia's figure.

In fact, she didn't need to search anymore once she looked up.

Because Li Jia was right in the center, still clutching the collar of a fat guy. The look in her eyes as she gazed at him was like looking at a pile of dead meat, with a strange coldness in the depths of her eyes.

As if sensing something, the Omega suddenly turned her gaze towards the crowd.

The people around her fell silent instantly when she shifted her attention.

"...Sister?"

The moment their eyes met, Li Jia's grip on the fat guy loosened, and she hurriedly hid her hands, which had been stained a dark red. She took a step forward, but before she could speak, many people in the crowd retreated in fear, and someone even raised what they had in their hands as a barrier in front of them, saying, "Don't... Don't come closer, you lunatic."

So Li Jia's steps came to a halt again.

As the crowd moved backward, Ye Chengxing quickly seized the opportunity to push through the people. She walked past the scattered items and bloodstains on the ground, heading straight towards Li Jia.

"Xiaoli!" She arrived in a hurry, and now that she had stopped, her voice carried a trace of breathlessness.

Li Jia lowered her eyes and suddenly hesitated to meet Ye Chengxing's gaze.

What would she see in those eyes that had always been gentle?

And the fear that resembled those people, or perhaps disgust and repulsion, or... intense disappointment? The Omega who had always been by her side, taken care of like a younger sister, was actually like this behind the scenes. It was normal to feel afraid and disappointed, right?

The dark and negative aspects she had been trying to hide were ultimately exposed in this moment, in a very embarrassed posture, directly in front of Ye Chengxing.

She still hadn't thrown away the broken glass she had been holding in her hand. Thinking about the blood on the glass, Li Jia clenched it tighter.

She lowered her head and parted her lips.

Her heart tightened with a bitter feeling, and she only realized her voice was hoarse when she tried to speak.

She wanted to say, "Don't be afraid of me, don't be disappointed in me," but the words couldn't come out.

Amidst the noise of the surrounding crowd, it seemed the security guards had arrived.

Li Jia self-mockingly curved her lips, her hands hanging down. But the next moment, the person she expected to be disgusted and leave tightly embraced her.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

Ye Chengxing took hold of Li Jia's wrist, carefully taking out the broken glass that the Omega had tightly clenched in her palm. She felt both heartache and fear.

Lin Xuan, with swollen eyes and blood on his face, couldn't see who had arrived, but when he heard those words, he thought they were directed at him. He immediately crawled over, wriggling, and reached for Ye Chengxing's ankle. "Save me, save me! It hurts so much, so painful... that d*mn crazy woman..."

Ye Chengxing looked at the hand he reached out, and her body slightly moved as she stepped on the hand Lin Xuan extended. "Save you? Sure, since you have such a good relationship with your uncle, why don't I send you to prison to accompany him?"

Lin Xuan let out a painful groan.

The glass shards clutched in the Omega's palm were taken out, and now that her palm was empty, the blood from the wound flowed unhindered, winding its way down. Li Jia looked at Ye Chengxing with a bewildered and puzzled gaze.

"...Why didn't you leave like them?" she asked softly.

The hospital's vehicle and security guards had arrived, and the people who had come to watch the spectacle had dispersed.

Ye Chengxing carefully looked at the palm of Li Jia's right hand, where some small glass fragments were embedded.

"Leave?" She held Li Jia's left hand, not quite understanding her words. "Let's go to the hospital first. I won't let those bastards get away."

Li Jia's gaze fell on their joined hands.

Ye Chengxing's hand was originally clean, but because she was holding Li Jia's hand, it was now stained with blood.

That mark was striking and abrupt, a mark that shouldn't have appeared on her hand.

Li Jia pursed her lips and spoke softly, "My hands are dirty. Sister, don't hold onto me. Let go."

Don't hold onto her.

It would be best if she looked at her with fearful eyes, just like those people, and then run away.

Only by doing that could she possibly shake her off. Otherwise, she would be tightly bound to her, unable to separate from her for the rest of their lives.

She tried to pull her hand back, but instead of freeing herself, she was held even tighter.

Li Jia paused for a moment, then slowly raised her eyes.

Ye Chengxing met her gaze, her eyes curved as she gently rubbed Li Jia's hair with her clean palm. Her voice was soft, "What are you saying?"

Since they arrived here, everything she had anticipated hadn't happened. Ye Chengxing held her hand, calm and resolute, never considering letting go.

After a momentary pause, Li Jia said hoarsely, "I thought you would be afraid, disappointed, and think of me as a monster..."

Just like those people earlier.

When ten or so people faced one, initially most would sympathize with the one person. But if in the end, all ten people lost the ability to fight back, surpassing the acceptable threshold of entropy, they would all feel fear.

Especially after witnessing those scenes firsthand.

As Ye Chengxing listened to Li Jia's calm words, her heart grew even more sour.

It was her oversight that Lin Xuan had entered, and his nephew had directly brought people to intercept Li Jia.

She truly had thoughts of completely destroying those beasts.

No one naturally thinks of themselves that way. It's just that when others say it repeatedly, one becomes accustomed to it.

It becomes a habit to always find reasons for what happens from one's own self, even if it's not one's fault.

"...I thought you would hate me," Li Jia finished speaking and lowered her gaze, looking at their joined hands without saying anything further.

Ye Chengxing noticed that there were specks of blood on the Omega's face as well, so she lifted her fingertips and gently wiped away those marks from her face. "Our Xiaoli is a very brave girl. Even if you're a little monster, you're the cutest little monster in the world. No matter how you look, you're still you, and I won't hate you."

"There's nothing wrong with self-defense, Xiaoli is really amazing. But next time, don't fight like this," Ye Chengxing mentioned a few spots that would cause intense pain and render someone defenseless without causing serious injuries. "And you were even holding onto broken glass before. Your hand must have hurt a lot."

Unexpectedly, the words she ultimately spoke were these, and Li Jia's gaze shifted from their joined hands to Ye Chengxing.

The hidden thoughts in her heart surged even more fiercely after a brief pause.

There were many things she had concealed from Ye Chengxing. She had always worried and feared that if Ye Chengxing discovered her completely opposite side, she would surely leave. So, she wanted to disguise all her flaws, not knowing how to keep her while avoiding methods that Ye Chengxing would dislike.

But now, she suddenly felt that if it was this person in front of her, even if she saw her most wretched side, she might not leave.

Li Jia looked at Ye Chengxing for a long time and murmured, "Sister, you will always be by my side, right?"

Hearing Li Jia's voice, Ye Chengxing met her gaze.

She didn't overlook the word "always" mentioned by the Omega.

The promise of "always" was too weighty, and there were simply too many variables in the passage of time.

During the early days of arriving in this world, she often yearned for her home, which was not in this world, and she wanted to go back.

But at this moment, she truly felt that she should just stay here, stay by Li Jia's side.

Her family atmosphere was good, she had many friends, and she had received a lot of kindness and affection.

There was so much love around her.

However, in this world, there was only one Li Jia for Ye Chengxing, at least at this moment.

So... she would accompany her by her side until she no longer needed her.

With a pause, Ye Chengxing spoke warmly, "As long as you need me, I will always be here."

Li Jia noticed the hesitation before Ye Chengxing's response, but it didn't matter.

She heard Ye Chengxing's words and understood one thing: she could obtain her own forever because一

"I will always need Sister." She looked at Ye Chengxing, her gaze focused, revealing a look that Ye Chengxing didn't fully comprehend, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

"In that case, Sister can always be by my side."

After saying that, she held Ye Chengxing's hand even tighter.

She deliberately rubbed the spots on the Alpha's hand that hadn't been stained with blood.

Ye Chengxing felt that there was something off about Li Jia's words, but after thinking for a moment, she realized that if the premise was like this, there didn't seem to be any logical problem with the statement. So she nodded and reassured her, "I will stay by your side."

"Okay, then Sister must keep her word." Li Jia's eyes curved with delight.

The covetous thoughts swirling in her heart almost materialized, greedily wanting to completely envelop the person in front of her.

She didn't tell her to stop caring about her, nor did she let go of her.

She had already given her more than one opportunity to make this choice, and it was Ye Chengxing who chose to stay.

And she truly believed, believed that she wouldn't leave.

So, as the price of being trusted, please make sure to keep your word, please... don't leave her.
