Quick Transmigration: Is it Better to be a Beta?

Chapter 13: 1.12



Chapter 13: 1.12

Despite playing around on the drive back to the Miracle House, Jia Hyson's mood became tense once he entered. Because of Shirley, the entire team was dragged down to fight for elimination tomorrow so the atmosphere in there house was of course not good. The Blue team members felt wronged and the other chefs from the other team had already figured out what happened from the previous fight and felt sympathy for the losers.

Right now Shirley was feeling immense pressure. Everyone was against her and no one wanted to defend her. Even if she passes tomorrow's elimination round, there wasn't a guarantee that people would forget their grudges which could potentially harm her in the future. Jia Hyson would feel sorry for her but.. no, he wouldn't, that was a lie.

Ignoring the faint sounds of crying in the other room, he strides straight toward the showers, leaving his sexually frustrated boyfriend awkwardly following after him.

"Baby, why don't we shower together?" Drake pleads as he presses down on his stiff shaft, ruthlessly doing his best to suppress the dark urge to jump on his lover and just papapa. "I know how much you want to wash up, but I also want to as well... So, I think we should compromise." He knows that it was probably going too far but with Adrian it was hard to know.

Who knew his cute muddle headed older lover was such a vixen? Those few hours in the car was some of the worst and best hours in his life. Adrian would tease him, grinding their bodies together, lightly biting his tongue, his lips, even the sensitive skin behind his ear was nibbled on. It was enough to make the still inexperienced Drake go mad with desire. Then before he can tip over the edge, Adrian would move back, slowing down his moments and turning his previously enthusiastic touches into something lighter. It was like trying to scratch an itch with feathers. Only once Drake's breathing slowed back down would Adrian smile toothily and resume attacking his poor young body all over again.

Bebe: 'This poor male lead. He lost his dominant aura to Chef George, his rebellious strong personality to Maddy, even his libido and shamelessness could not compare to this spicy chicken host. All he has now is his good looks and being rich.'

Jia Hyson: 'It's okay, it's better this way.'

Bebe: 'How?'

Jia Hyson: 'It'll be easier to chain him by my side untill I finally tire of him.' .

Bebe: ...Lighting a candle for this sad little male lead, it was truly bad luck he had to run into this terrible human scum and fall for him

"Baby?"

Jia Hyson turns around and drags Drake to the bathroom much to his visible delight. He was so excited the little tail between his legs was practically wagging. However he became bitterly disappointed as Adrian laughs, kissing him playfully on the mouth before gently pushing him into the bathroom... and then slamming the door between them. "If you wanted to shower so badly darling, then baby will let you go first," Jia Hyson gleefully calls out on the other side of the door. After hearing his man's despairing groan, he didn't even bother to hide his amusement, snickering as he walked back to their room.

"You really do like him."

Jia Hyson was so startled almost tripped over nothing.

"Christ, Maddy!" He curses, patting his chest nervously, "You scared me half to death, how long have you been watching?"

Maddy crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow. Jia Hyson hates that he knows she's wearing the exact same look he usually wore every time Maddy broke curfew or hung out with friends without telling him beforehand or gone over budget grocery shopping. It was the 'You're in trouble young lady' look.

As the older brother, being on the receiving end of such a look did not feel very good. In fact, it was worse then when his editors scolded him after he passed the deadlines or when he went out to go look for a lover to play with without telling them beforehand or went over budget buying all sorts of things... Eh? Why does this sound a little familiar?

Watching Adrian's face flicker through a number of emotions, Maddy decides to magnanimously let her dear brother off from suffering under her stern gaze. Adrian is such a kind brother, she knows how easily pressured he gets. She doesn't want him to feel too guilty, it wasn't like he really did anything terrible except have horrible taste in men. Damn just thinking about that vile Drake's dirty pig hands all over her pure beautiful brother simply makes her want to vomit blood!

Bebe: (_) It seems the sibling complex goes both ways ah.

"You know Monroe is going to go batshit when he finds out," Maddy says coolly but the fear and glee in her eyes was easy to see. While Adrian frowns in faint confusion, inwardly Maddy shakes her head and sighs at her oblivious brother. Maybe Adrian couldn't see Monroe as anything but a good boy, but Maddy had no such privileges. If it wasn't for Monroe's blatant inability to cook, Maddy was sure he would've joined the competition as well. She truly did wish, from the bottom of her heart, that something went wrong with the adoption and somehow Adrian was her real biological brother instead of that stone-faced psycho.

"Monroe? What are you talking about?" Jia Hyson questions, puzzled.

"Never mind," Maddy quickly waves off, it would do no good for anyone if she warned Adrian about Monroe, "Anyway, Drake, are you seriously serious?"

Adrian hesitates, much to Maddy's approval. She would be deeply disappointed if her brother was the sort of person who would throw away his dreams just for the sake of some hot assh*le.

Jia Hyson and Bebe: ...this girl, really good at unknowingly slapping herself ah?

"I don't know what the future holds," Jia Hyson finally says, "but I know right now I really like Drake a lot."

Maddy felt a little moved at such a simple yet sincere declaration but it really was a tragedy it was wasted on somebody like Drake Lanzoni. In her heart she felt very sad for her brother. Even though he was so nice and generous and handsome and even could cook, all he seemed to attract were scum. She swore that, while she wanted to emulate Adrian's beliefs on cooking and family, she would not follow his path in love.

Maddy: 'I am still so young and pretty, clearly my best years should be wasted on me and me alone () what romance? Can you eat it?'

"Fine," Maddy says, the resolve in her own heart soothing her temper for now, "You didn't stand against me when I wanted to pursue my happiness here, and I suppose I can also do the same."

Adrian looks touched, making Maddy feel very good. Truth be told, she rather liked holding something against her perfect big brother, it made her feel very cool, like she was the big sister and he was the silly younger one.

Feeling confident under her brother's warm gaze, she strikes a pose, "Of course don't be too broken-hearted when I beat your douche boyfriend black and blue in the kitchen yeah?" She laughs.

"Oh?" A cold, deep voice speaks out, making Maddy freeze. Jia Hyson quickly hides his smile behind his hand. Ah such good timing, as expected of the protagonist.

A slightly damp Drake was currently feeling very unhappy. After rushing to finish showering (and finishing himself off in the process) he finds his baby with that woman again! Even worse, she was mocking him too! He narrows his eyes at this hateful girl. So she thinks that if she can't win Adrian over from him she can at least beat him in cooking? Dream on! "I would like to see you try."

"Ah?" Despite feeling frightened at being caught talking behind someone's back, Maddy's competitive spirit and already low opinion of Drake couldn't take the implied challenge lying down. "You want to bet?"

Drake sneers, "Another bet? I'm surprised you still have the face to bet again after the first time."

"Hehe," Maddy fakely laughs, her natural honest disposition making the laughter feel even more fake and mocking, "What? It was only one bet, don't tell me your skin is so thick you actually think one small win is enough to crown you Emperor? Ah, such a petty man, Adrian what do you see in this guy?"

Jia Hyson who was thrown into the battlefield: '..Um, can I use my right to remain silent?'

Bebe: 'No.'

Drake's face turns unslightly at Maddy's words. Honestly, that man is lucky he is so handsome because the faces he keeps making in his jealousy are not. It doesn't stop Jia Hyson from thinking its very attractive but objectively it is really good he's handsome.

Bebe: 'Seriously, this male lead has been reduced to just his face at this point.'

Jia Hyson: 'But what a nice face it is.'

( `)

"Fine," Drake icily says before smirking with a face full of arrogance, "Let's bet then."

Maddy mirrors the expression as she stares defiantly into his eyes. There's was absolutely no sexual tension at all, just pure, unadulterated animosity. Jia Hyson could swear he could hear the sounds of lightning and animal fighting sounds in the background. "If you win I'll give you my blessings to date Adrian, but if I win" Her pretty face smiles darkly, "I hear your family is pretty good ah? What's some financial backing for my future restaurant between in-laws?"

Jia Hyson looks expectantly at Drake. If he really couldn't even glimmer a suspicion toward Adrian and Maddy's true relationship after those words than his man was officially a moron. However all he got from Drake was a haughty expression and a raised eyebrow as he accepts Maddy's deal.

Excited and fired up, Maddy cheers like she had already won, "Aw yeah! Maddeningly Tasty here I come!" With her stakes to win greater than ever she completely forgets her dearest brother as she rushes toward the kitchens to practice for tomorrow's elimination.

Jia Hyson couldn't tell whether this girl had spunk or was just plain delusional to place such a bet when she was already in such a tremulous position in the competition. Either way, he likes her a lot more than the original story's Maddy who's gotten f*cked six ways to Sunday by now already. The story has diverged for the better and it pleases him greatly. Though he does wish her dream restaurant had a better name than 'Maddeningly Tasty'. Ah, you take what you get.

"Baby?"

"Hm?" Jia Hyson hums absentmindedly.

"Why would I need her blessing to date you?" Drake questions looking vaguely confused.

Jia Hyson looks at Drake with disgust before shaking his head and walking away. This f*cking idiot. It seems Maddy's increase in IQ was directly proportional to Drake's decrease in IQ. Drake doesn't even deserve to be warned beforehand at this rate, Jia Hyson will just enjoy watching him slap his own face with his past actions in the future.

"Adrian?" Drake calls out, worried at the sudden cold shoulder. Was it something he said? "Baby?! Wait for me!"

Meanwhile, a haggard, emotionally drained Shirley silently looked at herself in the mirror. She looked tired and stressed, eyes red from crying. It was a far cry from the bombastic beauty she prided herself to be. She clenches her jaw at the sight of her appearance. This was all that b*tch's fault! If she hadn't pushed her into a corner during the challenge Shirley wouldn't have ended up being hated like this!

With a manic smile, Shirley grabbed her large make-up bag, sticking a hand inside she clawed her way around the items until she found what she was looking for. Pulling out a velvet pouch, she tipped the contents onto her hands. There, lay a pair of gaudy golden earrings with large pink teardrop stones hanging from them. With trembling fingers, Shirley unscrewed one of the larger stones, revealing that it was a secret tiny container. In it lay a pill.

Shirley's eyes reddened further at the sight and she smiles. After tomorrow, no one would remember all the things Shirley did this morning. It was time to show Maddy that little girls like her don't belong in the adult world without suffering a bit first.
