Ji Xiao swallowed hard, she could even feel the pain of her skin brushing against the blade of the scissors.
Wei Qingyu looked down at her, eyes full of caution and dislike.
Their close proximity didn't evoke any ambiguity between Alpha and Omega; instead, it brought a chilling sensation akin to submerging into her cold, green eyes like an icy pond.
"L-let's... talk things out," Ji Xiao strained to keep her neck still, avoiding any movement that might cause her vocal cords to be cut by the metaphorical blade. Her heart raced rapidly, almost leaping out of her chest.
God knows how she fell asleep leaning against the head of the bed last night and somehow managed to end up in the middle, like a magpie taking over someone else's nest.
She'd just stepped into the first day and wasn't ready to face trouble so soon.
"I have nothing to talk to you about," Wei Qingyu's voice was particularly grim.
She didn't know when she lost control last night, nor did she know what Ji Xiao had done to her after she lost control. She was simply surprised to wake up early in a comfortable and cool environment and find Ji Xiao sleeping beside her.
This was not a particularly good outcome.
Wei Qingyu also noticed Ji Xiao's hand resting on her wrist.
The cold breeze from the central air conditioning didn't diminish the intimacy of their skin-to-skin contact.
This disgusted Wei Qingyu, prompting her to immediately pull her hand away. Meanwhile, the pampered Ji Xiao, disturbed by Wei Qingyu's action, frowned slightly, showing signs of awakening.
Without much thought, Wei Qingyu swiftly grabbed a pair of medical scissors from the bedside and, getting up, pinned Ji Xiao beneath her.
She was already at this point, the worst she could do was perish together.
It was also a way of seeking revenge for the torment she had endured these days.
With these thoughts in mind, Wei Qingyu pressed the scissors a bit deeper against Ji Xiao.
"Hiss—"
A faint trace of blood emerged on Ji Xiao's delicate skin, causing her to gasp in pain.
Her survival instinct prompted her to raise her hands and earnestly plead, "What if I tell you that I didn't do anything bad to you last night?"
"What?" Wei Qingyu, who was always prepared for the worst when it came to Ji Xiao, was momentarily stunned.
Ji Xiao knows what an Omega in the heat cycle cares about most, and busily
Explained: "I did not mark you, nor did I do anything wrong to you.”
Wei Qingyu remained silent. Ji Xiao was adept at using sweet words to deceive people.
She had been fooled numerous times before and wasn't going to fall for it this time.
Seeing that Wei Qingyu didn't believe a word she said, Ji Xiao added nervously: "If you don't believe it, touch it yourself!
Wei Qingyu stared into Ji Xiao's eyes, for the first time not seeing cunning in those nauseating golden-orange eyes.
She doubtfully loosened the pressure on her wrist and felt the back of her neck.
It's intact, even smoother.

"It's you who wanted to mark me." Ji Xao said with some grievance, lifting her hand and pulling aside the gauze on her left neck.
Two horrifying rows of bite marks suddenly appeared in Wei Qingyu's line of sight.
A scabbed bloodstain adhered to the wound, each part depicted ferocity, especially the uppermost circular spot, which seemed particularly deep.
Wei Qingyu involuntarily ran her tongue over her teeth, and the sudden sting of a familiar but unexpected canine tooth jabbed her tongue.
This wound indeed seemed to be inflicted by her.
But how was that possible?
When she was contending with Ji Xiao for the suppressant, she accidentally bit her finger. Ji Xiao got annoyed and pushed her away, even throwing the suppressant over her.
And now, she had bitten her neck, leaving such a large wound, yet Ji Xiao hadn't retaliated and even allowed her to sleep in the guest room?
The room's central air conditioning fell silent for a moment before restarting. The familiar scent of peach brandy lingered around Wei Qingyu in the cool breeze, triggering sudden flashes of fragmented memories in her mind.
Ji Xiao’s golden-orange eyes stared in surprise at her suddenly pouncing on her, enveloped by an Alpha's gentle yet indulgent aura, accommodating her actively seeking pheromones. Eventually, they intertwined fingers before she collapsed in the other's arms...
Wei Qingyu's eyes trembled slightly; her silky hair cascaded over her shoulders, veiling the faint blush that appeared on her cheeks.
Turns out it really was herself.
After a moment of silence, Wei Qingyu softly said, "I'm sorry."
However, Ji Xiao remained tense, lying on the bed motionless, holding onto her heart as if on edge.
Below her line of sight, the silver medical scissors still rested against her neck, as though capable of ending her life at any given moment.
Wei Qingyu's vigilant and resentful gaze showed no signs of easing, sending a chilling sensation through the depths of Ji Xiao's heart.
With a bit of courage, Ji Xiao placed two fingers against the blade at her neck and negotiated, "If you're truly sorry, then put the scissors away."
Wei Qingyu glanced down at Ji Xiao; the smoky purple nightdress was unbuttoned, revealing rounded shoulders connected to beautiful collarbones, unabashedly displayed before her eyes.
The burning sensation on Wei Qingyu's face intensified. Without a word, she retracted the scissors and stood up, moving away from Ji Xiao's body.
She really should have bitten a little deeper last night and killed her directly.
A pair of well-proportioned and snow-white legs caught Ji Xiao's attention. The rounded knees were slightly pink from the earlier kneeling.
In her previous world, Ji Xiao liked girls. Despite having seen many women, she still felt that no one's legs could compare to Wei Qingyu's.
She is indeed the female lead.
Wei Qingyu: “Thank you for last night. I'll return this favor. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving.”
She didn't know what was wrong with Ji Xiao's head last night, as she didn't torment her, but she remained wary of Ji Xiao. She didn't want to stay in the same space with her for another second.
With that said, she didn't linger and headed towards the door.
The thought of Wei Qingyu going back to that shabby room made Ji Xiao's heart tighten involuntarily.
Does she dare let Wei Qingyu continue staying in such a rundown place? Does she think her life was still long?
Ji Xiao hurriedly reached out and stopped Wei Qingyu, blocking her way. “Hey! Don't go back. From now on, you'll stay in this bedroom.”
The suddenness of the statement struck Wei Qingyu's eyes, causing her steps to come to an abrupt halt.
Ji Xiao wanted to give this nice room to her? What was she up to?
Ji Xiao clearly noticed the surprise in Wei Qingyu's eyes and realized that her behavior didn't align with the original owner's disposition.
She pursed her lips, shoved her hands into her pockets, and boldly declared, “I said you're staying here! No need for more words!”
With that, she didn't give Wei Qingyu any chance to argue and swiftly departed.
Wei Qingyu watched Ji Xiao's departing figure, her brows slightly furrowing, her sinister eyes filled with suspicion and disdain.
What's she up to?
Does she want me to recover from my injuries first, then continue tormenting me?
First luring me into such a nice environment, and then suddenly dragging me into hell?
Wei Qingyu rubbed the wrist that Ji Xiao had just touched, a hint of disgust curling her lips into a scornful sneer.
She's truly something.
"Oh, right!"
Suddenly, Ji Xiao fired off another shot. Wei Qingyu's lips immediately drooped.
"I'll have someone pack your things and send them over. Don't fall and die halfway with all these injuries."
Having said that, Ji Xiao quickly left without paying the slightest attention to the sinister look in Wei Qingyu's eyes.
"Ha." Wei Qingyu sneered.
She wanted to see what other tricks Miss Ji would use.
….
Upon returning to her room, the first thing Ji Xiao did was grab a tissue to wipe the sweat from her palms.
She really wasn't cut out to be a villain; just those two sentences spoken to Wei Qingyu made her legs go weak.
I should have acted very much like the original owner just now, right?
I didn't let Wei Qingyu notice anything odd about me, did I?"
"Ji Xiao thought that if Wei Qingyu, a person with such a meticulous and cunning mind, were to discover that there was someone else behind the facade of 'Ji Xiao,' she wouldn't know how she would be treated."
Perhaps she would consider this as the original host's way of avoiding her revenge, and thus torture her even more excessively in the future...
Thinking of this, Ji Xiao couldn't stop her heart palpitations and lay down on the bed, wanting to cry without tears.
She was really unlucky, finding herself in the script of a villainess in a novel, and to top it off, living under the same roof with the future blackened female lead.
She was just an ordinary future high school teacher about to graduate from her final year. The flowers of the motherland were still waiting for her to nurture them, and a beautiful future was beckoning to her. Why did she have to endure such hardships by being brought here?
Ji Xiao cried for her yet-to-sail education career that fell apart. After a while, she managed to pull herself together and sat up from the bed. Recollecting the plot since she had just read the book last night, she sorted through the general storyline.
In the original text, after Wei Qingyu endured two years of torture by Ji Xiao, she will become an adult on the day she turns eighteen. With the help of the male lead, she will escape from Ji Xiao's control.
Afterward, in a short half-year time, she will swiftly become an upstart in the upper circle, regain the property the Ji family seized, and stand again in the position admired by thousands of people.
And then, she will torment her until she's unrecognizable, and disgustingly throw herself into the shark tank to feed the sharks.
Ji Xiao held back her fear of what might happen in the future. She took a piece of candy and put it in her mouth to endure the bitter taste. Then, she seriously analyzed the situation: We're in the first year of Wei Qingyu staying with the Ji family after her own family fell apart. The person who tormented Wei Qingyu before only did it for less than half a year. And I even stopped the first serious harm just yesterday.
In other words, there is still hope!
Wei Qingyu's hatred for her has not reached the point where she must chase her to the ends of the earth!
Ji Xiao excitedly touched the gland behind her neck for the first time, feeling lucky that she managed to come back just before the original host could make the first temporary mark on Wei Qingyu.
"Bang! Crack—"
A sound of something falling to the ground and breaking came from the room next to the wall.
Ji Xiao got a fright and accidentally knocked into her gland hard.
She immediately felt a sharp pain, making her lose control of her expression, grimacing in agony.
This was even more painful than when Wei Qingyu bit her the night before.
Indeed, in the world of ABO, glands are the most fragile thing.
In Ji Xiao's mind, the scene of Wei Qingyu holding a knife and cutting her own gland as recalled earlier flashed again, making her feel a chill run down her spine.
"Who do you think you are?! How dare you break dishes and bowls here?!"
The sharp voice of the maid pierced Ji Xiao's ears, pulling her out of her fearful emotions.
She suddenly remembered, wasn't the room next door Wei Qingyu's room?!
"The Young Miss asked someone to boil some medicine for you but you won't drink it, and even dared to spill it! Do you really think that the rules in the house are dead?”
"That's right! You really think you are still the Young Miss of the Wei family? Look in the mirror! I don't know what kind of love potion you gave to the Young Miss last night. An Omega in heat alone with an Alpha, shameless!"
When Ji Xiao rushed to the door of Wei Qingyu's room, she saw Maid A and Maid C scolding and pointing at Wei Qingyu, whom they had violently dragged to the ground.
The scorching noon sunlight outside fell on her, bright yet cold.
Even though Wei Qingyu was on the ground, her head was held high. Her emerald-green eyes remained unwavering, accepting the vulgarities from the two maids, resembling a viper lurking in a scorching desert, ready to strike and kill these two ignorant maids at any moment.
The cicadas outside continued their clamor in the scorching summer, but Ji Xiao felt a slight pain in the gland at the back of her neck.
Wei Qingyu noticed her presence, and her clear gaze, accompanied by a minty coolness, calmly looked at Ji Xiao.
