How Could You Bite There🍼

The moment the door closed, Yun Huaizhu grabbed Lin Meng's arm and pulled her toward the sofa.

Yun Huaizhu's grip on her wrist was too tight; Lin Meng couldn't help but grimace. "Zhuzhu, you're hurting me a little..."

At that, Yun Huaizhu immediately pushed her down onto the sofa. The sudden motion left Lin Meng dizzy.

She instinctively tried to sit up, but Yun Huaizhu was already braced over her. Cool fingers pinched her chin. "Mengmeng-jie, didn't you promise to keep your distance from that person? Did you forget that quickly?"

Only then did Lin Meng realize—Yun Huaizhu was angry about that!

She hurried to explain, "Zhuzhu, you misunderstood. Xiaoman is my coworker, and she helped me a lot with finding this apartment. I just wanted to treat her to a meal to thank her..."

The gloom on Yun Huaizhu's face didn't ease—it deepened. "You're treating her to a meal to thank her... Then what about me? You've never once treated me to a meal. In your heart, who's more important—me or her?"

Seeing that Yun Huaizhu was about to get that look again—the one that said she might strangle her—Lin Meng answered without thinking, "Of course you're more important. I just feel... when people are good to me, I have to return the favor. Owing people favors is never a good thing."

At that, Yun Huaizhu's tightly knit brows suddenly relaxed.

That was right—Lin Meng was naturally the type to keep her distance from strangers. That Xiaoman person was nothing more than an ordinary coworker to her. Treating her to a meal was just repaying a favor, and once it was repaid, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other.

With that thought, Yun Huaizhu slowly straightened. She reached out and gently pulled Lin Meng up from the sofa. "Mengmeng-jie, I'm sorry. Don't be afraid of me... I just care about you too much. That's why I couldn't help doing those things to you..."

Seeing the guilt on Yun Huaizhu's face, Lin Meng couldn't help feeling a pang of inexplicable pity. Yun Huaizhu was always like this whenever she saw Lin Meng getting close to someone else. By now, Lin Meng had grown used to it.

She turned her head and gave Yun Huaizhu a gentle smile. "No, I know Zhuzhu means well. I won't be afraid of you."

A glimmer of light flashed through Yun Huaizhu's eyes. She suddenly stepped forward and pulled Lin Meng into her arms.

When it came down to it, that person from earlier was the one in the wrong. It was that omega who had no sense of boundaries. Lin Meng had been keeping her distance from the start, yet she'd pressed herself against Lin Meng and hugged her—how shameless!

For things like this, merely reminding Lin Meng was useless. After all, Lin Meng couldn't predict which rude person would cling to her and hug her at any given moment.

Yun Huaizhu sighed at the thought. She released Lin Meng and gazed helplessly at that slow-witted person. "Mengmeng-jie, you've already done more than enough for that coworker of yours. You not only bought all the things she needed for daily life, you even made her a PPT. You've wasted more than six hours on her. Surely any debt of gratitude should be repaid by now?"

Lin Meng lowered her head. "I just feel that when someone helps me for no reason at all, I should do my utmost to repay them..."

As she said this, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind—wait, she had never told Yun Huaizhu about doing those things for Tang Xiaoman, had she? So how did Yun Huaizhu know?

A sense of unease gradually grew in Lin Meng's heart, like slender yet tenacious spider silk wrapping around her. Just as she was about to ask Yun Huaizhu how she knew, Yun Huaizhu suddenly stood up, her brows tightly furrowed.

As if sensing something, she paced anxiously around Lin Meng's room, sniffing the air.

Lin Meng stood up too, puzzled. "Zhuzhu, what's wrong?"

When Yun Huaizhu collected herself, her expression changed abruptly, her eyes turning wary. "Mengmeng-jie, has someone else been to your home recently?"

At the question, an unnatural flicker passed through Lin Meng's eyes. "Xi-Xiaoman did chat at my place for a while, but don't worry, Zhuzhu. I've always kept my distance from Xiaoman."

Tang Xiaoman was the first person at the company to be so kind to her without expecting anything in return, so when Tang Xiaoman came over, she naturally couldn't turn her away.

Although she had been alone in a room with Tang Xiaoman, she had sat far away from her the whole time.

Even Tang Xiaoman couldn't help asking why she sat so far away when they talked.

After hearing her explanation, the wariness in Yun Huaizhu's eyes didn't fade. "No, there must be someone else. Your home still carries the scent of their pheromones... There's an omega's, and even an alpha's. They both smell high-rank. Think carefully—has anyone else been to your home? If not, then it must be someone with ill intentions. I'll call the police for you right now."

Lin Meng was frightened by Yun Huaizhu's extremely serious tone. She quickly tried to recall who had been to her home recently. "Recently... besides Xiaoman, really no one has come to my home." Just then, she remembered—Huo Yi's mother, whom she had brought back from the roadside not long ago.

At the thought, Lin Meng suddenly felt as if she had done something to wrong Yun Huaizhu. She cautiously raised her head to look at her. "There was someone else..."

Seeing Lin Meng stammer, a sinister smile floated onto Yun Huaizhu's face. Just that smile alone was enough to make Lin Meng's heart tremble with fear.

When she had placated Su Yutang before, at least Su Yutang would let her expressions show and give her warning. But Yun Huaizhu liked to meet her with all kinds of seemingly amiable smiles; at first, Lin Meng couldn't even guess what Yun Huaizhu was angry about.

But now she had become quite good at reading Yun Huaizhu's expressions. When Yun Huaizhu wore that smile that didn't reach her eyes, she was definitely angry. So Lin Meng hurriedly explained, "It was an omega I found on the roadside who was in her heat period. It was a very hot day, and she was sitting alone by the road. I was afraid something dangerous might happen to her, so... I brought her home."

Hearing this, Yun Huaizhu revealed another amiable smile. "Mengmeng-jie really is as kind as ever. It's just that you're neither an alpha nor an omega—bringing her home wouldn't have done any good, would it?"

Her words were dripping with sarcasm, but Lin Meng didn't notice at all. "It was useful. I still had some suppressants left at home, so I gave them to her."

Yun Huaizhu could barely maintain her smile. She stepped closer to Lin Meng, one step at a time. "Why does Mengmeng-jie still keep suppressants at home? They're not for your alpha friends, are they?"

Lin Meng was about to cry from frustration. Why did every explanation only make things worse?

She quickly said, "No! Zhuzhu, do you remember our first night together at the hotel? I was afraid something might happen to you, so I bought extra suppressants. That medication has a long shelf life, so I kept them. I thought if you ever had another emergency and couldn't buy suppressants in time, I could..."

Yun Huaizhu couldn't listen to any more.

She stepped forward and wrapped both arms around Lin Meng's waist. "Mengmeng-jie wants to say, you'd give them to me someday, right?"

Lin Meng was stunned for a moment. That was exactly what she had been thinking, but she was afraid that if she said it, Yun Huaizhu might do something that frightened her even more.

Yun Huaizhu's hands wandered along her waist, then traveled upward until they naturally encircled her neck. "Mengmeng-jie doesn't need to worry about that, because you and I have very high compatibility. When I'm in my heat period, as long as Mengmeng-jie helps me, I won't be in any danger."

Lin Meng actually wanted to run away when she heard this, because Yun Huaizhu had promised her it would only happen that one time. But now Yun Huaizhu was saying things like this—did it mean she was going back on her word?

Just as she stood frozen in place, Yun Huaizhu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "So I don't need troublesome things like suppressants. Mengmeng-jie is my suppressant."

When Yun Huaizhu's breath brushed against Lin Meng's ear, the rim of her ear grew hot and itchy. She couldn't help but back away, but Yun Huaizhu held her tightly; the moment she tried to pull away, those arms would clamp around her and pull her back.

Seeing that Lin Meng really seemed about to cry, Yun Huaizhu loosened her arms, as if giving her a moment to breathe. Feeling the weight lift from her shoulders, Lin Meng finally let out a sigh of relief, as if she had survived a calamity.

The next moment, Yun Huaizhu took her hand and sat down with her, speaking in a pitiful voice. "Injecting suppressants is painful, and they have side effects... If there were no side effects, why would omegas and alphas marry each other because of pheromone attraction? Mengmeng-jie, you know my family situation. As things stand, I can't marry at all. Even if I were to enter a marriage alliance with some alpha, she wouldn't respect me at all. Mengmeng-jie... I only have you..."

With that, she bent forward weakly and silently shed tears.

Whenever Lin Meng saw Yun Huaizhu looking so fragile and pitiful, she felt terrible. She hurriedly said, "That's not true, Zhuzhu. If you ever feel unwell in the future, you can always come to me..."

Hearing this, the corner of Yun Huaizhu's mouth curved upward, hidden from view. But she quickly suppressed that rush of pleasure. She slowly raised her head, her long lashes still carrying glistening teardrops, her eyes blinking innocently. "Really, Mengmeng-jie?"

This person's tears had always been more than Lin Meng could bear, let alone now when Yun Huaizhu looked so delicate and beautiful before her, like a fragile little white flower.

As if bewitched, Lin Meng nodded. "Mm..."

Hearing this, Yun Huaizhu looked as though she was deeply moved. She threw herself forward and tightly embraced Lin Meng. The sudden movement knocked Lin Meng off balance.

She lay on the sofa while Yun Huaizhu held her, resting her head against Lin Meng's chest.

Thump thump, thump thump—

Lin Meng's heartbeat was clearly accelerating. Yun Huaizhu knew exactly what was causing it, but she still tilted her head up with a look of innocent naivety, gazing at Lin Meng with pure eyes. "Mengmeng-jie, your heart is beating so fast."

Hearing this, Lin Meng's face instantly turned bright red.

Yun Huaizhu was pressing down on her...

Of course her heartbeat was fast.

Just as she was about to ask Yun Huaizhu to get up, Yun Huaizhu pinched a corner of her pure white T-shirt and began slowly sliding her hand upward along her abdomen.

Lin Meng watched helplessly as Yun Huaizhu's hand drew closer and closer to that sensitive spot. She hurriedly reached out and firmly caught the hand at her chest. "Zhuzhu, I think the two of us are too close. Isn't it a bit hot like this?"

Hearing this, Yun Huaizhu revealed a coquettish smile. She slowly leaned forward. "Mengmeng-jie isn't going to say your heart is beating fast because it's too hot, is she?"

Lin Meng nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes..."

If you get up now, I won't be hot anymore.

But before she could get the words out, Yun Huaizhu's hand gave a restless, gentle pinch at the place she could least bear. Lin Meng instantly let out a sweet, syrupy sound.

Yun Huaizhu's lips brushed again and again against her neck. "Mengmeng-jie, I know you're hot, that's why I'm helping you. My palms are a bit cold—I can help you cool down. Won't you help warm my hands too?"

Lin Meng suddenly felt a shame so intense she wanted to find a block of tofu to smash her head against. Her hands, which had been holding Yun Huaizhu's, gradually loosened under the stimulation. At the same time, Yun Huaizhu leaned close to her ear and asked softly, "So can Mengmeng-jie let go first?"

Yun Huaizhu's words were like some kind of suggestion. Lin Meng suddenly felt her face burning terribly; her arms lost all strength.

Seizing the opening, Yun Huaizhu's hand slipped inside.

Her hand was indeed very cold. That hand against the warm place at her chest made Lin Meng break out in goosebumps.

In the middle of summer, how could Yun Huaizhu's hand be so cold... Should she turn off the air conditioning first?

While she was dazed, Yun Huaizhu even ducked her head inside her loose T-shirt. After the cold stimulation came a warm, moist sensation. When Lin Meng had been thrown onto the sofa by Su Yutang earlier, her slippers had long since gone missing. Her glistening toes curled involuntarily under the alternating ice and fire.

Yun Huaizhu's teeth even gave a mischievous, gentle bite there. Lin Meng truly couldn't take it anymore. She reached out and grabbed Yun Huaizhu's hair. "Mm... no, Zhuzhu, this is too strange."

This had gone far beyond warming hands, hadn't it?

Yun Huaizhu felt the strands of hair on top of her head being tugged by Lin Meng; the force was like a cat kneading a nest on her head, utterly harmless. Yun Huaizhu continued sucking as she pleased. Only when she saw, by the light filtering through Lin Meng's collar, that a perfectly shaped bite mark had been left there did she contentedly come out from under Lin Meng's clothes.

Her face was thoroughly flushed now, her expression carrying an indescribable pleasure. She licked the corner of her mouth as if still savoring it and said, "Mengmeng-jie, you're so sweet."

As if all the fight had been drained out of her, Lin Meng grabbed a throw pillow and buried her head under it. What Yun Huaizhu had just done had gone beyond the limits of her understanding; she could no longer look at Yun Huaizhu the way she would a normal friend.

After Yun Huaizhu savored the moment for a while, she noticed that Lin Meng seemed angry because of her excessive actions.

She was stunned for a moment, then began to work up her emotions. The tears came as soon as she wanted them to.

Lin Meng had originally not known how to face Yun Huaizhu anymore, but before long, she heard the heartbroken sobbing of the person beside her. Lin Meng was startled; she removed the pillow and sat up to look at Yun Huaizhu. "Zhuzhu, what... what's wrong? Don't cry..."

Yun Huaizhu looked at Lin Meng with reddened eyes. "Mengmeng-jie, I'm sorry... You're such a good person, so gentle, and yet I did something terrible to you. But it's exactly because you're so good that it reminded me of how my mother used to treat me when she was alive. When I was little, I was too young to remember whether my mother ever fed me like that, so I really wanted to recall it. I truly did something awful. I don't deserve to be your friend..."

Hearing Yun Huaizhu bring up her mother on her own, a dull ache formed in Lin Meng's heart.

That was right—when Yun Huaizhu's mother was alive, Yun Huaizhu must have been a carefree little princess who was doted on. She lost her mother at such a young age... When a person misses their family desperately, they can fall into a trance-like illusion. So Yun Huaizhu was understandable.

With that thought, Lin Meng hurried forward and gently patted her back, comforting her. "It's all right, Zhuzhu. I don't blame you. You're my best friend, always will be."

Hearing this, Yun Huaizhu was stunned for a moment, her crying even pausing.

She didn't want to be friends forever, though.

Since Yun Huaizhu had brought up her mother, Lin Meng suddenly remembered Huo Yi's two mothers from that day. With complicated feelings, she asked, "Zhuzhu, I heard that high-rank omegas have two mothers. What about your other mother?"

Hearing this, Yun Huaizhu's expression instantly turned to shock, then a sinister look surfaced on her face. Without any warning, she raised her head and glared at Lin Meng. "Why are you asking that? Did someone say something to you?"

Lin Meng was startled by her sudden change in expression. "No... no, no one said anything to me. I just think you've had it too hard. If your other mother were still alive, she should be sharing some of your burden. As a mother, how could she bear to leave you alone in this world to endure so much? That would be too irresponsible..."

Hearing this, Yun Huaizhu's expression gradually turned ferocious. "Enough, stop talking!"

Her shout stunned Lin Meng into silence.

Lin Meng stood frozen in place, her mind blank.

It was the first time she had ever seen Yun Huaizhu so harsh and severe.

Yun Huaizhu's fists were clenched tight. Endless hatred and unbearable memories converged in her heart. This was the most secret place in her heart, a scale that no one in this world could touch except herself.

But...

"She's dead."

Hearing this, Lin Meng felt as if something had struck her heart.

She had thought Yun Huaizhu's other mother—the one Yun Huaizhu had never mentioned—was still alive. So how foolish had her words just been?

At the thought, Lin Meng's eyes stung and tears began to fall uncontrollably. "I'm... I'm sorry. Because you never mentioned her, I thought she was still alive. I'm truly sorry... I just really wanted someone to share your burden. You're really tired."

Hearing this, the sinister look on Yun Huaizhu's face gradually faded. Now her eyes, as she looked at Lin Meng, were full of light.

That was right—Lin Meng knew nothing, understood nothing.

How could she take her anger out on the only person in this world who was good to her?

With that thought, Yun Huaizhu stepped forward and gently cupped Lin Meng's face with her cool hands—the same ones Lin Meng had just warmed. "Mengmeng-jie, I'm the one who should apologize to you. You didn't know anything, that's why you asked. Let's not talk about them anymore, all right?"

Hearing this, Lin Meng felt even more guilty. She quickly nodded. "All right."

Yun Huaizhu embraced her upon hearing this. Her embrace touched the place she had just bitten and sucked. Lin Meng felt a tingling, aching itch, but now, filled with guilt, she couldn't bring herself to push Yun Huaizhu away.

Yun Huaizhu didn't know how long she held Lin Meng like that. She had finally found her safest harbor.

But... if Lin Meng knew her true face, saw her dark side, would she still accept her without hesitation and like her?

Unease began to stir in Yun Huaizhu's heart again, an unease that could suffocate her.

The voice in her heart clamored, desperately screaming for her to lock Lin Meng up, shut her away, so she could see Lin Meng every day.

Lin Meng would no longer attract all kinds of people, much less come into contact with anyone else. That way, Lin Meng would belong to only one person.

...

Yun Huaizhu didn't know how long she had held Lin Meng. When she raised her head again, Lin Meng was already growing sleepy.

How adorable. No matter how great an emotional upheaval Lin Meng suffered, she would quickly return to calm.

But Yun Huaizhu didn't want Lin Meng to fall asleep so quickly just yet. She once again cupped Lin Meng's face with her now-warmed hands. "Mengmeng-jie, you didn't tell me the truth. Not long ago, you told me you brought back an omega in her heat period from the roadside, but why does your room still carry an alpha's scent?"

The guilt in Lin Meng's heart toward Yun Huaizhu hadn't yet faded, and Yun Huaizhu's eyes were gentle now, without a hint of blame. Under that influence, Lin Meng lowered her head and helplessly told Yun Huaizhu about meeting Huo Yi's mother, and about Huo Yi's mother and her other mother coming to her home to find her.

Hearing this, Yun Huaizhu's expression twisted for a moment, but to avoid frightening Lin Meng again, she restrained it as much as possible.

Su Yutang was gone, but there was still Huo Yi, trying to poach her.

Yun Huaizhu hadn't expected that despite all her precautions, she still hadn't guarded against that vixen Huo Yi.
