『Chasing her Alpha (Crematorium)』
Assertive, stubborn Omega X Honest, mute Alpha (ABO, GL, slight Alpha-chasing crematorium) I am Lu Qinrui, an Omega. I didn't come from a good background; I grew up in a small town. My Omega mother worked day and night, barely managing to support me through college. My Alpha mother was a deadbeat alcoholic who only cared about playing around. Although she didn't physically abuse us, she kept stealing my mother's money to gamble. I hated my mother for being such a selfish person, only caring about her own pleasure and ignoring whether her family lived or died. Her selfishness indeed brought a devastating disaster upon my mother and me. When I was 18, a gang of people broke into our house, smashed all the furniture, and threatened us to pay back the money. Only then did I find out they were my mother's creditors. My mother hadn't been back for days, and she had probably run off long ago without a trace, leaving a debt of 300,000 yuan for my mother and me. 300,000 yuan was no small sum; we couldn't borrow that much even if we tried. But if we didn't pay it back, we would be endlessly harassed, stalked, and threatened by that gang... I had just been admitted to that famous university in Pucheng. I thought my new life was about to begin, but because of that bastard mother, I was dragged back into the mud once again. My mother cried uncontrollably, saying she was sorry. Because of the debt, she desperately tried to raise money, but it was all in vain. Looking at her exhausted face, how could I blame her? After thinking it over, I resorted to the stupidest method. I knew a mute Alpha lived next door to us. Her parents had passed away in an accident, leaving her with a compensation payout and an inheritance. When I knocked on the mute girl's door, I won't deny that I was anxious and felt ashamed. It was no different from selling myself. But if it succeeded, the debt problem could be resolved immediately. The mute Alpha poked her head out, looking a bit reserved, gesturing something in sign language. It must have been her language, but I couldn't understand it. I decided to get straight to the point: "Do you want a wife?" The mute girl froze, her gesturing hand stopping mid-air. My face felt hot, but I gathered my courage and said in one breath: "If you can afford a 300,000 yuan bridal price, I'll be your wife." After saying it, I laughed at myself, thinking it was a pipe dream. But to my surprise, the mute girl actually nodded. Then she pulled at me. My Omega instincts made me want to stay away from this Alpha; even if she was mute, she was still a dangerous Alpha. Sensing my wariness, she stopped pulling me, turned back into her room, took out a bankbook, and handed it to me. She seemed to know I couldn't understand sign language, and her throat let out unintelligible sounds: "Ah, ah." "For me?" I was astonished. I wondered if this mute girl was a bit simple-minded. Why did she trust me so much? A strange tightness gripped my chest. She just nodded again. She solved the debt problem for my mother and me, and as agreed, I made a promise to her that we would officially get married after I graduated from college. My mother sighed when she found out about this. She said the mute girl was good-natured, but unfortunately disabled. If it weren't for the 300,000 yuan debt, I wouldn't have to become a mute's wife. In my heart, I agreed with my mother. But since she had helped us so much, I naturally had to give her some sweetness. I voluntarily moved in with her. I felt very strange, fully prepared to have certain things taken from me, but it never happened. Instead, this mute girl was extraordinarily good to me. She even sent me off on the day I went to college, even though she said she had never left the small town before. Before leaving, she stuffed a small pouch into my hand, which contained a lot of cash. My heart skipped a beat, feeling a bit sour, but also relieved. She was indeed very good, but she was never my type. As a partner... without even the ability to speak, was it even possible? I started my college life. I gained knowledge and expanded my social circle. The mute girl would occasionally send me a few messages to check in on me. I would reply when I saw them. The thought of going back during the holidays to see that dull, quiet mute girl made me feel a bit exhausted, but I still self-taught sign language online to make future communication easier. During college, I met a female Alpha from a very good background. She was humorous, knew her boundaries, and was polite and gentle. We both had mutual feelings for each other. But when she confessed, what came to my mind was the mute girl back in the small town who was helping to take care of my mother and was engaged to me. Can a person be so shameless? Engaged to one person, yet accepting another's confession? Yes, I did just that. I didn't say a word to the mute girl. I gradually grew cold toward her and rarely replied to her messages. If you ask me if I felt guilty? Of course I did. But so what? One was a normal person, the other was mute. One was humorous, the other was dull. One came from a wealthy background, the other was stuck in a small town. Was there even any comparison? I acted very decisively. In my senior year, right before graduation, I secretly brought my mother to the city, and then sent a message to the mute girl: "Thank you for taking care of my mother and me these past few years, but we are not right for each other. Let's call off the engagement. I will return the money to you with interest." After sending the message, I transferred 400,000 yuan to her card. 400,000 yuan was just pocket money given to me by my then-girlfriend. I blocked her. I didn't want to see her reply. Maybe it was an escape of my conscience, pretending that what happened back then never existed. After graduation, my girlfriend and I got married as we wished. At first, it was very harmonious and happy. But later, I realized I had misjudged her. It turned out that humans are such deceptive creatures. Her true self was conceited, arrogant, quick-tempered, and she even had a pathological love for tormenting people. During the day, she and I played the perfect, loving couple, but at night, she turned into a monster. I thought she was different from those other Alphas, but in the end, they were all birds of a feather. All her respect for Omegas was just a tactic and a disguise to win me over. It was truly... disgusting. When my mother asked about the bruises on my arms, I could only put on a forced smile and say I bumped into something. Every late night, in the midst of pain, that figure would inexplicably come to my mind. The mute girl who quietly remembered my preferences and cooked for me. The mute girl who cried tears of pain for me when I got hurt. The mute girl who patiently knitted scarves and sweaters for me. The mute girl who warmed my hands when the weather was cold. The mute girl whom I pushed away with my own hands. The mute girl I would never see again... It hurts so much. I miss you so much. I brought this upon myself...
"I want a steady, secure happiness..."
