I can only eat light meals when I'm eating alone.
"I can eat it." Zuo Baixuan nodded and smiled as she put the fish into her mouth.
The steamed fish was savory and fresh, its pure flavor filling her mouth with the original, delicious taste of the fish. It suited her much better than her adoptive parents' habit of coating the fish in starch and deep-frying it. A warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Luan Ye turned his head to look at Bai Xuan on the left.
It was discovered that Zuo Baixuan was completely relaxed when facing Luan Xing.
It's no wonder that in the original work, the innocent female lead ultimately chose to help the original owner's two mothers.
Because of their genuine friendliness towards her, Xiaobaihua experienced a rare sense of family warmth.
...
The Luan family is too friendly.
Luan Yenan did not do anything out of line.
It wasn't until Luan Xing brought them two sets of pajamas that Zuo Baixuan remembered her situation.
They were destined to stay overnight. Not to mention the harmonious atmosphere among the three of them, the dangerous situation outside with thunder and lightning made it impossible to let them leave.
To share a bed with an Alpha...
Zuo Baixuan felt a tightness in her back.
Looking at the two sets of pajamas that Luan Xing had handed over.
One set is a black, all-cotton loungewear set.
The other outfit was a deep V-neck silk gown in violet.
"Thank you, Mom." Luan Yenan placed one hand on her silk dress, her well-defined fingers resembling violet flowers blooming from branches.
Luan Xingdu was stunned for a moment by Luan Yenan's actions.
The long dress was originally intended for Zuo Baixuan, while the cotton loungewear was for Luan Yenan.
Luan Xing looked at the remaining clothes in her hand: "They're all cotton. Do you need me to give you a different one?"
Having grown accustomed to the "wear it or not, it's up to you" attitude at her adoptive parents' house, Zuo Baixuan shook her head slightly: "No need, I catch a cold easily, and I prefer all-cotton styles, this one is perfect."
Luan Xing gently stroked Zuo Baixuan's head: "Okay, I'll take you to your room first. Ye Nan has a head injury, so it's inconvenient for her to wash her hair. We've found a stylist at the place to help her comb her hair, so you don't have to wait for her."
Zuo Baixuan gripped her shoulder bag tightly and followed behind Luan Xing: "Okay, Mommy, thank you."
...
Zuo Baixuan was escorted into the room by Luan Xing.
The room was quite spacious, decorated in a flashy and eclectic style. Yet, the atmosphere was somewhat cold.
This was a room that the Luan family had specially reserved for Luan Yenan. But there were almost no traces of life left in the room; it was like a meticulously furnished hotel suite.
It seems that Luan Yenan was nothing more than a pitiful wretch who couldn't get the family affection he wanted before.
However, beneath her pitiful state lay a repulsive morbidity.
But then again, does this explain the change in Luan Yenan's attitude towards Luan Xing today?
Does that single tear mixed with blood truly represent only remorse?
If that was acting, it was too real.
If it were genuine emotion, it would come too abruptly.
What exactly is the source of Luan Yenan's conflicting feelings?
Judging from the attitudes of her two mothers today, they both believe that Luan Yenan's change is their fault.
Only Zuo Baixuan knew very well that the turning point of the change occurred yesterday, or more accurately, most likely last night at the moment Luan Yenan's pheromones changed.
She searched the entry.
Pheromones are related to a person's personality and emotional state.
People with eccentric personalities like Luan Yenan are prone to having pheromones with a strong, pungent smell, like chili peppers.
The greater the emotional fluctuation, the more pungent the smell of chili peppers.
But what does it mean when this person suddenly smells like vodka?
Not crazy anymore?
No.
The image of Luan Yenan slicing his own neck with the sharp edge of scissors, accompanied by the scent of vodka, is still vivid in my mind.
Her alluring smile flashed into her mind, and the rich aroma of vodka seemed to rise again around her glands, as if trying to intoxicate her.
A sudden chill ran through the patch on the back of her neck, startling Zuo Baixuan so much that she quickly suppressed her curiosity and covered the back of her neck.
The coolness is not a suppressant that helps the skin cool down.
It's not that the glands are burning up.
Zuo Baixuan covered her face, not expecting that just thinking about her glands would have such a strong reaction. She might end up being the one driven crazy.
She calmed herself down, grabbed her handbag and a change of clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a quick hot shower.
After it ended.
She peeked out to make sure no one was coming in before leaving the bathroom.
Her hair wasn't completely dry, and it lay half-dry on her neck, making her look a little disheveled.
But the white noise of the rain and the thick, all-cotton loungewear she was wearing gave her a sense of security.
There's still some time before Luan Yenan returns; the real battle is about to begin tonight.
She sat on the bed, sent Jiang Lingdan several pre-arranged encrypted messages to let her know she was safe, and then unilaterally clicked delete.
After confirming that everything was correct, I placed the phone on the bedside table and took out a small knife wrapped in a tissue from my shoulder bag, then found a spot to tuck it into the crack of the bed.
This is more discreet than hiding scissors under the pillow last time.
She gently turned to the side, curled up, and made sure the small knife was within easy reach.
The air in the room was moving slowly.
Then, a crisp sound came from the door, and the doorknob was turned.
Zuo Baixuan clasped her hands in front of her chest, pricked up her ears, and listened alertly to any movement. She looked like an assassin ready to strike from an ambush.
People outside came in, their slippers scraping against the floor.
The lights weren't on; they just moved slowly in the light of the lightning outside the window.
The subtle fluctuations in her breath made Zuo Baixuan's heart beat faster.
She can tell.
In the darkness, Luan Yenan was laughing silently.
What is Luan Yenan laughing at?
Am I laughing at myself for being so carefree, falling asleep so early?
No, she should be able to tell that he's pretending to be asleep.
The darkness originally provided Zuo Baixuan with a sense of security to hide in.
But at this moment, it seems as if he has been exposed without a trace of clothing.
Boom!
The flash of lightning illuminated the room for a second.
This person's gaze must have swept over me again.
My whole body feels numb.
Luan Yenan's steps did not stop because of Zuo Baixuan's wild thoughts. He quickly lay down on the bed and leaned against the other side of the bed.
Her silence did not reassure Zuo Baixuan.
Zuo Baixuan's entire body was tense and holding its breath.
If she could, every cell in Zuo Baixuan's body would tingle with pleasure, as if she wanted to develop a sense of sight and try to see what Luan Yenan was doing behind her.
Soon, a cool, light touch landed on Zuo Baixuan's back, drawing her attention quickly to the fingertip.
A note from the author:

Chapter 18
Zuo Baixuan tensed up, and her hand immediately reached towards the seam of the bed.
My hands are cold, but my heart is hard.
A tingling, ticklish sensation traveled up her spine in short, intermittent strokes, finally settling on the back of her neck, where it gently rotated on the barrier patch.
If Luan Yenan dares to pry open the barrier with her fingernails, Zuo Baixuan will stab her in the groin with a knife, letting out a scream to attract everyone in the villa and end the entire transaction.
However, Luan Yenan once again deviated from Zuo Baixuan's expectations, not taking any further steps. Instead, as she warmed the cold knife, he laughed and said, "Since you're so worried that I might have ulterior motives towards you, why are you so calmly turning your back to me?"
In the darkness, all senses are magnified infinitely.
Zuo Baixuan fully absorbed Luan Yenan's unhurried voice.
In his mind, he pictured Luan Yenan with a smile on his lips, looking at his back with great interest.
"I have to say, the glands of an Omega are quite tempting to an Alpha. If you don't turn around soon, I really can't guarantee that I can resist."
