CHAPTER 66

The only thing that could be sensed in the breath was the sweet fragrance of white peaches.

Li Jia's voice echoed in Ye Chengxing's ears, and the emotions in the Omega's words further confused her already muddled consciousness.

Before the formal farewell, she had considered many possible scenarios and had planned how to handle them, but she had never imagined the current situation to occur—a situation that completely exceeded all expectations.

If she had faintly glimpsed the unfamiliar side of Li Jia before, none of the previous encounters had left her as bewildered as the current situation.

Her condition was truly abnormal.

Ye Chengxing recalled the words 001 had told her about the villainess redemption value reaching one hundred percent.

This didn't look like a one hundred percent redemption value... It seemed more like the state of the original text where the character had already turned evil.

She had avoided so many circumstances that could have led to Li Jia turning evil. She didn't want to see her follow the plot of the original story, and she thought the evil plot line wouldn't appear again. But unexpectedly, after going around in circles, this plot line resurfaced, and she never expected that she herself would be the cause of this outcome.

No wonder... No wonder Li Jia didn't show much change in her expression when she mentioned staying for a few days. No wonder every corner here felt so tailored to her preferences—because this place was originally prepared for her.

Li Jia noticed her thoughts and suddenly smiled, saying, "I'm sorry for making my sister think I can still be saved."

She extended her fingertip and hooked the butterfly necklace that Ye Chengxing was wearing.

"Do you know? The necklace I gave you has a listening device and a locator. I've been watching you all the time... Sister, I really like you, so much that it's driving me crazy. Why do you want to leave once the mission is complete? Can I only keep you locked up so you won't leave?"

Their bodies were intimately pressed together, and Ye Chengxing listened to Li Jia's murmured words, feeling overwhelmed by the shock of it all.

Li Jia actually liked her too.

No, the most important thing was that Li Jia knew...

Without having time to ponder why Li Jia knew about the mission, Ye Chengxing opened her mouth. She wanted to say that she wasn't lying, but she realized that if Li Jia truly knew about the mission, all her explanations would be in vain.

The worst-case scenario would be if everything appeared as deceit from the start of the mission in the other person's eyes. If it reached that point, no words would have any effect.

"The mission is real," after a long pause, her voice lowered, "but I didn't treat it as just a mission. I genuinely have feelings for you, and I didn't plan to leave before. I also like you..."

The pain caused by the susceptible period became increasingly evident as the Omega's soothing pheromones were no longer intentionally calming her down. Ye Chengxing's words became fragmented and intermittent.

"Is that so? You like me?" Li Jia's smile became even more pronounced when she heard it. Her voice was light, as if genuinely puzzled, "But sister, you still want to leave."

She raised her hand, pinching Ye Chengxing's chin, and her fingertips caressing her lips in a familiar manner.

Her lips were forcefully brushed, causing some pain, but the pain from the susceptible period contact diminished slightly.

Ye Chengxing's consciousness felt scattered.

Realizing that her thoughts were uncontrollably coming to mind due to the other person's actions, she made an effort to focus her scattered consciousness and began to explain, "It's because..."

"Shh."

The pitiful and faint hope that had shattered completely after hearing her farewell had been suppressed for so long that the dark thoughts were now uncontrollable.

She had previously wondered if she had overthought things, perhaps Ye Chengxing didn't actually want to leave.

But as she watched her secretly prepare to depart, as she watched her transfer everything under her name, she understood that she truly intended to leave.

The hand gripping the Alpha's chin slowly moved to her neck.

"Before I met you, I didn't need such a thing as emotions."

"It was Sister who said she would accompany me, who said she wanted to stay by my side."

She didn't exert much force, but it gave off a sense of control.

The physical pain was dissipated to a large extent due to her proximity. Ye Chengxing felt that her body not only didn't perceive any threat from this action but instinctively wanted to get closer to the Omega, entwined with the other person.

The efforts to maintain a clear consciousness clashed completely with the thoughts of her body.

Listening to Li Jia's words, Ye Chengxing absentmindedly thought that this was worse than the worst-case scenario she had anticipated.

Li Jia no longer believed her.

The Omega's gaze darkened as she met Ye Chengxing's eyes.

"Many times."

"I've given you many chances..."

"But it's fine this way, now I have a reason."

In the moment of suffocation, their lips were sealed together.

There were drops of cold tears falling onto their lips with each kiss.

Ye Chengxing raised her hand to embrace her, feeling as if her heart was also engulfed in pain.

In the gaps between their moments, she spoke, using her fingertips to wipe away Li Jia's tears. "I won't leave, I like you. It was my misunderstanding before, I didn't ask clearly..."

But as her words fell, she never heard Li Jia's response throughout.

Li Jia kissed her fiercely, with no method or pattern. She even cried while kissing, and Ye Chengxing taste a hint of blood in the kiss.

She wasn't sure if her voice could be heard by the current state of Li Jia, so she could only repeat over and over again that she liked her and wouldn't leave.

After the kiss ended, both of them were slightly out of breath. At that moment, Ye Chengxing heard a click sound and felt a cold object fastened around her left wrist.

Following the sound, Ye Chengxing's gaze involuntarily shifted and in that instant, her eyes froze when she was what it was.

After putting the bracelet on Ye Chengxing, Li Jia admired it for a few seconds before speaking, "It doesn't matter anymore whether it's sincere or whether you're deceiving me."

Her lips became vibrant and stunningly beautiful after the recent kiss, almost breathtaking.

Ye Chengxing suddenly realized that it had been a long time since 001 had spoken after finishing her previous sentence. If before, she couldn't hear the system's voice but still felt a connection, now, after wearing this bracelet, that sense of connection had been severed.

Although she didn't express the awareness of this change at this moment, Li Jia clearly noticed it from her slightly paused expression.

"Don't think about contacting your system anymore. You probably won't be able to reach it for a while, and don't think about undoing it either. Sister can't undo this."

She caressed the bracelet, and her tone became tender and affectionate. "I made it myself. Isn't it beautiful? It complements your skin tone."

The bracelet was a delicate and exquisitely designed pale golden color.

As she spoke, Li Jia looked at Ye Chengxing, her gaze filled with the usual expectation for praise.

Meeting her gaze, Ye Chengxing wanted to respond, but after wearing the bracelet, her consciousness became increasingly scattered and uncontrollable.

The figure of the Omega before her began to blur, accompanied by a strange dizziness sweeping through her entire body.

She opened her lips, but in the end, she could only helplessly closed her eyes.

Li Jia caught Ye Chengxing's falling body.

In fact, she didn't have anything that Ye Chengxing owed her.

On the contrary, she had been good to her, the best person she had ever met.

She knew that her loved ones and friends were in that world she was planning to leave, and even if she truly said she wanted to stay, she should let her go.

But... how could she let her go?

She couldn't do it.

She could only keep her completely locked by her side, making her attention solely focused on herself, to barely feel some sense of peace.

Just watching her like this, only gazing at her, all emotions arising from her, whether it was pain or pleasure.

The Alpha in her embrace must be in extreme pain, even though she had already lost consciousness, her body still trembled slightly.

Li Jia was acutely aware of what she was doing, thinking that these methods were truly despicable. But she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

She was indeed such a despicable person.

Now, without her, Ye Chengxing would be in unbearable pain and unable to live on.

Regardless of whether she wants it or not, she must intimately embrace her or have deeper contact with her, only then can she alleviate the sense of pain.

She will have to depend on her alone.

Realizing this thought, Li Jia's pupils subtly dilated with excitement.

She raised her hand and caressed Ye Chengxing's cheek. Her posture appeared tender, but it inexplicably sent shivers down one's spine.

Indeed, it no longer mattered whether it was sincere or fake.

There was no need to confirm that anymore.

She kissed her lips again, her eyes filled with beautiful affection, and her tone became sweeter. "See, just like now, you're still by my side."
