Chapter 28 - Nutrient Fluid 2K Update

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

*

Ye Chengxing had a dream.

She dreamed of Li Jia.

The setting was still in the bathroom.

The steamy bathroom, with the Omega's amber eyes as misty as the water.

Everything seemed to be covered in a layer of ambiguous and sensual pure white tones.

Their bodies were so close to each other.

"Splash—" It was the sound of someone rising from the water.

Water droplets splattered out, making the already wet clothes stick even more tightly to her body.

Li Jia reached out, her fingertips grazing Ye Chengxing's clothes. They were called clothes, but since they were completely soaked through, it felt more like a direct touch, the sensation through the thin fabric becoming all the more indescribable.

Ye Chengxing felt that everything was blurry; she knew she was probably dreaming, yet she couldn't clearly distinguish the scene before her from reality.

Li Jia's tone was still as pitiful as ever, the words she spoke seemingly no different from memory, but if one were to delve deeper, there was a significant difference: "I've gotten Sister's clothes wet, and Sister has gotten me wet too. What should we do about this..."

As she spoke, she leaned closer, her white peach pheromones instantly enveloping her, like a flower blooming in the morning, or a juicy, sweet peach.

The familiar Li Jia, with an unfamiliar appearance and demeanor.

Ye Chengxing tried to retreat and avoid her, instinctively wanting to turn away her eyes.

But the bathtub was only so big, and retreating further meant only pressing her back against the edge of the tub.

Her chin was caught, and the Omega leaned over her, straddling her with her legs apart.

She held her chin and leaned in again, her voice soft: "Why is Sister avoiding me?"

As she said this, she took her other hand and guided it to touch the blooming flower, fluttering her eyelashes and asking, "Isn't it very wet?"

Innocent yet overly sensual.

A rosy hue colored Ye Chengxing's cheeks, the sensation transmitted from her fingertips vividly clear.

Especially when she felt her trying to leave, softly and tremulously taking her fingertip into her mouth.

The morning dew clung to her hand, and Ye Chengxing's fingertip quivered.

Li Jia seemed pleased by her reaction, smiling slightly with the corner of her lips. The hand holding the Alpha's chin did not retract but lifted up, forcing Ye Chengxing to raise her head.

Just as Li Jia was about to kiss her lips, Ye Chengxing suddenly woke up.

Her first thought was relief—thankfully, everything just now was a dream.

But when she saw their positions, the relieved expression that hadn't fully surfaced froze instantly.

Before sleeping, it was the Omega tightly hugging her, but upon waking up, it was she herself who was tightly embracing the other.

She had even placed her hand on Li Jia's waist, lifting up her nightdress quite a bit.

It seemed to be the result of unconscious movements she made during her dream.

Li Jia had already woken up but didn't move when she felt her actions, enduring them as if unsure what to do.

Ye Chengxing froze for a few seconds. The images of the dream were still vivid in her mind, especially when she looked at their current position in reality. She had just... touched the other like that, and the dream's scenes seemed to have turned into reality.

Ye Chengxing was even more flustered than in the dream. She almost closed her eyes as she hastily adjusted Li Jia's nightdress, muttered an "I'm sorry," and fled from the room without daring to look back.

As she left, she couldn't help but berate herself.

Oh my god.

Li Jia trusted her and relied on her, seeing her as a sister, merely wanting to sleep with her innocently. But look at what she had done?

And, and... she had such a dream. If Li Jia found out, she would surely detest her.

Thinking about this, Ye Chengxing felt even more ashamed.

What kind of things was she doing? Perhaps Li Jia had already started to dislike her.

With these thoughts, Ye Chengxing returned to her room, still unable to calm down after washing up.

She was restless.

Sitting on her bed, she hesitated to go out, fearing she might see Li Jia.

She wasn't young anymore, and it was normal for adults to have such thoughts and dreams. However, ...how could the subject of her dreams be her own sister?

It must be because she spent every day with Li Jia, and Li Jia was the main person she interacted with. Her daily thoughts led to her nightly dreams, so it shouldn't mean she had those kinds of feelings for Li Jia.

After thinking it over, Ye Chengxing felt a little calmer.

Most importantly, it was nearly time to prepare breakfast, so she hesitantly opened the door and walked out.

However, before leaving her room, she looked down the hallway, confirming that Li Jia wasn't there before daring to come out.

Having just had that dream, she truly felt unable to face Li Jia, not knowing how to handle the situation.

Yet, no matter how much she wanted to avoid it, living in the same environment meant they would inevitably meet.

Upon entering the kitchen, Ye Chengxing saw Li Jia.

The Omega held a freshly made, steaming breakfast and greeted her with a smile, "I was just about to invite you for breakfast, Sister."

Ye Chengxing responded in a dry manner, not daring to meet her gaze, instead focusing on the breakfast tray as she stepped forward to take a plate and chopsticks. "Did you make this?"

As soon as she asked, she realized it was a silly question. If Li Jia didn't make it, would it be Xiao Bai?

"Yes," Li Jia replied, looking slightly nervous at the question. "I watched you make it a few times before and learned some simple recipes. It might not be as delicious as yours though..."

Chengxing observed Li Jia's expression.

This slight tension from the Omega seemed entirely due to her question, with no apparent effect from the morning's events.

...It was unclear whether Li Jia also found it awkward and thus chose to gloss over it.

"It looks delicious," Ye Chengxing felt weighed down by her thoughts, but said sincerely as they sat down at the table together.

After taking a bite of the breakfast Li Jia prepared, Ye Chengxing genuinely praised, "It really is good."

To create such a tasty and exquisite breakfast after merely observing was truly impressive.

Ye Chengxing showered her with compliments.

"As long as you like it, Sister." Li Jia met her gaze, her expression visibly brightening.

Seeing her innocent expression, Ye Chengxing nearly buckled under the weight of her guilt, putting down her chopsticks to apologize again, "About what happened this morning, I'm really sorry, I..."

But Li Jia didn't let her finish, smiling warmly and trusting, "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."

Confronted with her unwavering trust, Ye Chengxing was at a loss for words.

Amidst her feelings of guilt and shame, a jumble of emotions left her mind in turmoil.

Li Jia noticed the complex look on Ye Chengxing's face.

In truth, if she hadn't moved herself, there would have been a significant distance between them. She was the one who lifted the skirt.

Watching Chengxing's conflicted expression, Li Jia blinked innocently.

She sensed something unusual beneath the panic in the other's emotions.

It shouldn't be solely because of her actions that Ye Chengxing was avoiding eye contact, right?

If that were the case...

Li Jia planned internally, maintaining her innocent demeanor, portraying the image of an obedient younger sister to perfection.

Ye Chengxing felt increasingly uncomfortable, yet she had barely touched her breakfast. Afraid that Li Jia might think she was being dismissive when she complimented the food earlier, she ate a bit more before putting down her chopsticks. After all, this was Li Jia's first attempt at making breakfast, specifically for her, so she needed to take it seriously.

However, just as she put down her chopsticks, she heard Li Jia calling her.

"Sister..."

She looked at Li Jia, the Omega's silhouette hazy in the morning light, inadvertently reminding her of the rosy dream.

At that moment, her phone beeped. Ye Chengxing checked and found a message from her assistant regarding new developments in the investigation into Linque.

Relieved to have a legitimate reason, she quickly typed "Let's discuss in person" and turned to Li Jia apologetically, "Little Li, I have an urgent matter to attend to. I might need to go out for a bit."

With that, Ye Chengxing hurriedly began changing her clothes.

Li Jia's words were cut off.

Watching Ye Chengxing's hurried back, her expression grew contemplative.
