Chapter 3

=================

Ye Chengxing never expected that after she said those words, the car would literally take off.

Although the phone's design was peculiar, deep down, she still regarded this world as similar to the one she came from. At first glance, it didn't seem much different from her previous life.

But she truly hadn't anticipated that cars in this world could fly!

Ye Chengxing looked out the window, musing vaguely, "As expected of an ABO world, the technology is truly advanced..."

However, because of this, they arrived at the hospital rather quickly.

It's worth mentioning that before Ye Chengxing could pay the driver, the vehicle swiftly landed, letting them out, and then drove away without looking back, as if fleeing from some terrifying calamity.

Fortunately, just before getting out, Ye Chengxing scanned the payment code. She watched as the screen spun before finally displaying the words "Payment Successful," and only then did she put her phone away with relief.

The driver had a tough time making money, so despite not knowing why they fled so hastily, she made sure to settle the fare properly.

Since it was already late, Ye Chengxing took Li Jia straight to the emergency room.

As they passed through the hospital, they left behind the scent of an Omega in distress, a potent pheromone like that of a ripe peach, enticing to all. As the one holding Li Jia, Ye Chengxing felt the overwhelming allure of these pheromones most acutely.

She bit her lip unconsciously, suppressing the extraneous thoughts that arose from the Omega's pheromones.

Once inside the examination room, the doctor's gaze paused for a moment when it fell upon them before moving on.

Ye Chengxing was well aware of how misleading their appearance must be. When they entered the hospital and passed by a glass door, she caught a glimpse of their reflection and noticed the bloody mess on her shoulder, while Li Jia, cradled in her arms, was covered with a coat, revealing only her legs, her breathing faint.

Ye Chengxing laid Li Jia down on the bed, and the doctor approached, pulling back the coat covering the Omega slightly.

Upon seeing Li Jia's flushed face and the suggestive attire beneath, the doctor could surmise what had happened without further examination. The doctor's gaze toward Ye Chengxing now held a hint of disdainful accusation, and their tone turned sour. "Family member of the patient, please wait outside."

The doctor emphasized the word "family" deliberately.

Ye Chengxing couldn't provide detailed explanations for everything, so she simply sat down on the long bench in the corridor to wait.

During the waiting period, she reviewed the memories of her predecessor transmitted by the system.

Though her mother had passed away when she was young, she left a substantial inheritance and shares in a company, which led the entire Ye family to indulge her. This resulted in increasingly reckless behavior.

Initially, it was merely recklessness, not yet reaching the level of being abnormal.

However, as everyone around her underwent differentiation, she remained unable to enter the differentiation phase, leading to a twisted personality under the weight of gossip and speculation.

Typically, people would differentiate around the age of fifteen or sixteen, but she had not differentiated even by the age of twenty. Frustrated, she began frequenting bars, where she befriended people like Zhang Shanle.

Under the influence of these friends, she discovered a new world, but due to her undifferentiated state, she could only watch, unable to participate. To cope, she started presenting herself as gentle and caring, appearing during others' darkest moments, then waiting until they trusted her completely before shattering their faith. Imagining their disbelief brought her immense satisfaction and temporarily alleviated her frustration.

Eventually, on the eve of her twenty-first birthday, she entered her differentiation phase and became an Alpha. Her acquaintances congratulated her and promised a surprise gift.

That gift was Li Jia.

...

The reason the driver had been afraid of Ye Chengxing earlier was simply due to her Alpha status, which served as a distinctive marker. Taxi drivers in this area were particularly mindful of such individuals.

This bustling district, where land was precious, was frequented by these wealthy heirs. If one wanted to do business here, it was best to remember the faces of those who should not be offended or provoked. Encounters with them were inevitable.

Among these untouchables, Ye Chengxing's reputation was the most notorious. Having spent considerable time in this area, numerous rumors circulated about her, including her penchant for manipulating others and her eccentricities.

For these drivers, losing a fare was inconsequential compared to the potential consequences of accepting a ride from someone like Ye Chengxing, whose power and seemingly benign exterior masked a twisted nature. No one knew what she might do.

After sorting through these memories, Ye Chengxing found the rosary beads on her wrist to be oddly ironic.

However, the system was correct in saying that the plot had not yet unfolded. She had arrived at a crucial juncture, just before her predecessor could commit any unforgivable acts.

No wonder Zhang Shanle wasn't too surprised when she saw Ye Chengxing trying to call the police, commenting, "Haven't you played that script enough?" and asking if it was time to "reel it in." It all made sense now.

Many unclear questions became clear after reviewing these memories.

Ye Chengxing gripped the rosary beads, cursing inwardly once again.

The hospital corridor was nearly empty late at night, filled with the smell of disinfectant. After waiting for half an hour, the examination room door finally opened.

The sound of the door opening was particularly noticeable in the quiet corridor, and Ye Chengxing stood up immediately upon hearing it.

She looked at the nurse pushing the medical cart out and asked, "How is the patient inside?"

The nurse replied, "There's no major issue anymore. You can come in now."

Ye Chengxing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and entered the examination room.

"We've administered suppressants and fever-reducing injections, but she cannot leave yet. We need to observe her for a few more days to see if there will be any recurrence of fever. And there shouldn't be a next time. This time, we were lucky to get her to the hospital in time. Another episode like this could cause severe harm to an Omega's body." The doctor removed their gloves, emphasizing the words "cannot leave," as if worried that Ye Chengxing might disregard Li Jia's condition and take her away. Clearly, the doctor had already categorized Ye Chengxing as a morally corrupt Alpha.

"That's good," Ye Chengxing said, turning her attention to the bed.

The Omega's flushed cheeks had faded, leaving her face somewhat pale. Her eyes were closed, and she appeared to be sleeping, her breaths shallow and steady.

Ye Chengxing couldn't help but gently curve her lips upward.

With this, Li Jia wouldn't have to endure that desperate and painful night described in the original book, right?

The doctor observed this scene, feeling a sense of internal conflict. Although they suspected that the beautiful Alpha before them wasn't a good person, out of professional duty, they asked if Ye Chengxing needed her wound treated, noticing the injury on her shoulder.

If the doctor hadn't mentioned it, Ye Chengxing might have forgotten about it. Hearing the question, she thought for a moment and responded, "Then, yes, please. Thank you, Doctor."

Hearing her polite and courteous response, the doctor's inner conflict intensified, but ultimately refrained from asking any further questions. In a hospital, they often witnessed the full spectrum of human nature, and there was little they could do about it.

After treating the wound, the doctor left.

Ye Chengxing didn't really feel her shoulder wound; she first went downstairs to handle the hospitalization procedures.

In this short span of time, when she returned, she found that Li Jia had already awakened.

The Omega wore a patient's gown, and what would be a regular size on an ordinary person seemed slightly oversized on her, making her appear like a dandelion that would scatter at the slightest breeze—excessively slender and fragile.

Hearing the sound of the ward door, she lifted her head.

Li Jia squinted, silently memorizing the layout of the room before her gaze fell upon Ye Chengxing.

Initially, when her consciousness was hazy, she assumed this was a memory dream before death. She had even sneered inwardly while being carried away by the Alpha, never expecting such a laughable hope in her dreams. However, when she woke up again, she was truly in the hospital, with her heart still pounding fiercely within her chest.

And even more bizarrely... the Alpha standing before her had clearly died by her own hand.

Li Jia looked at Ye Chengxing, whose shoulder was bandaged, recalling the bite she took when her consciousness was unclear, and suddenly, she smiled.

In these brief dozen seconds, Li Jia had already realized what had happened—

She had been reborn.

Reborn back to a time before everything began.

How...

Li Jia could barely suppress a low chuckle.

How interesting.

She had actually been reborn.

Ye Chengxing looked at Li Jia and felt that the other's expression just now was strangely peculiar, but in the blink of an eye, the Omega's odd expression vanished once more.

Perhaps... she hadn't fully recovered from the previous events. Thinking about it, Ye Chengxing felt even more heartache: "The inhibitor and fever-reducing injection have been administered. Li Jia, you've left that place, don't be afraid."

Hearing her voice, Li Jia lowered her head.

From an angle where Ye Chengxing couldn't see, the Omega's pupils trembled intensely with excitement.

The Alpha's voice was as gentle as jade. Li Jia couldn't help but recall in her mind how the other had died under her blade. At that time, Ye Chengxing could no longer speak, only emitting hoarse gasps, unable to close her eyes due to intense pain.

Memories intertwined with reality, and Li Jia's lips curved into a large, joyful arc.

But if she remembered correctly, the development at this point in time seemed quite different from the present situation.

Could it be... because of her rebirth, the trajectory had changed?

After Ye Chengxing spoke and saw that Li Jia remained silent, her heart also ached.

The original plot that the system had shown her remained in her mind—it was a complete novel, and she had even seen many comments from readers.

"This villain named Li Jia is so disgusting... when will she get what's coming to her?"

"Can I say? Her descent into madness seems so random. It's all because she trusted the wrong people; it makes me sick. Can she just get what's coming to her already?"

"She's too selfish. The villain just can't bear to see others well off because of her own suffering. Why can't she be kinder and more generous?"

And when they reached the chapter where Li Jia fell from a high building, countless comments were filled with congratulations and cheers.

"That despicable villain finally got what's coming to her, how satisfying."

"I've never liked her. I'm glad she's gone."

"Thank goodness the explosion plan wasn't successfully initiated. Li Jia was truly vicious. Thank you to that little girl who offered the candy."

"Honestly, I feel like Li Jia has no humanity... from the plot where she tortured and humiliated those who wronged her, a normal person wouldn't do something like that, right?"

"Agree with the comment above. Li Jia is insane. She got what she deserved. Everyone's happy now that she's dead."

Reading these comments, Ye Chengxing really wanted to reply one by one, but she found that she could only read them, not respond. The entire book copied over by the system was in a fixed state.

What did it mean by 'she got what she deserved'? If given a choice, who would want such a fate?

Every time Ye Chengxing recalled those comments beneath the original book, her heart ached. She had expected that the scum who initially committed those vile acts would be criticized, but she never imagined that Li Jia would receive the harshest and most brutal backlash.

Just thinking about it made her feel suffocated. Although she had only entered this book, the Li Jia standing before her now was no longer just words on a page but a living, breathing person capable of feeling pain, discomfort, and sorrow.

What had she done wrong? How did she become deserving of such treatment in their mouths?

Feeling both anger and sorrow, Ye Chengxing took a breath, suppressing these emotions so they wouldn't show. Her resolve strengthened even further. She would heal Li Jia, ensuring she never experienced such filth again. She would fill her life with love and sincerity, surrounded by flowers.

Just as Ye Chengxing prepared to speak again, the Omega on the bed finally raised her head.

Having just received the inhibitor and fever-reducing injection, Li Jia still carried a frail and sickly aura, appearing even more pitiable, like a weak willow in early spring, yet with a resilient spirit.

She looked at Ye Chengxing, seemingly uneasy. Her teeth bit her lower lip then released it, turning it into a vivid water red. "It was you who saved me? Why? I have nothing to repay you with..."

Li Jia's tone was soft and slow. As she spoke words as gentle as a lamb, she harbored malicious thoughts deep down.

No one knew better than her, reborn once again, how repulsive the Alpha before her was. Her words and demeanor would surely provoke the twisted thoughts hidden beneath the other's gentle exterior.

Although the course of events in this life differed somewhat from the previous one, it didn't matter.

If this life's Ye Chengxing changed her mind for the sake of her face, she would peel off the other's skin. If it was for her body as an Omega, she would remove the other's gland.

Not only would she ensure that the other couldn't obtain what they desired, but she would also exact a price as retribution.

Those who had humiliated her, even if they had died pleading for mercy under her blade in the previous life, would not escape in this one.
