After Appearing on a Dating Show with a Top-Star Omega - Chapter 1

“Ding, ding, ding—”

The dismissal bell of the teaching building rang right on time.

Even though the lecture point in her mouth was only halfway explained, the university professor still tactfully packed up her computer and left.

Below the podium, the students all picked up their bags and pulled their friends away. All kinds of voices mixed together noisily, and the joy hidden in them could not be concealed.

After all, tomorrow was Saturday.

“Jiang Yuan! Jiang Yuan! Come on, let’s go eat!” A girl with a ponytail lightly patted the person beside her.

The light of the setting sun spilled down, coating the person by the window in a layer of gold. She wore a simple white shirt, her cuffs casually rolled up to her forearms. The lines of her arms were smooth and strong, tensing slightly with the motion of taking notes.

“Ah, okay.” Only then did Jiang Yuan stop what she was doing as if waking from a dream, obediently putting her notebook and stationery into her bag.

The ponytailed girl propped up her face and tilted her head, staring at her roommate.

The person before her had a sharp, beautiful jawline. Looking from the side, her brow bones were high, her nose bridge straight, and her long hair reached her back, tied into a low ponytail that hung behind her. She was both beautiful and cool.

They were both clearly Betas. Had her roommate always been this good-looking before?

She did not know when it had started, but she always felt that her roommate had changed. Even her memories of the past had become hazy and indistinct.

Jiang Yuan slung her bag over her shoulder and turned around, only to see Qi Meng’an staring blankly into space, clearly lost in thought.

She spoke up to remind her, “Meng’an?”

“Ah, yeah.” Qi Meng’an snapped back to her senses and hurriedly picked up her schoolbag. “Quick, quick, quick. Liang You should be waiting for us at the door.”

When the two of them reached the classroom door, sure enough, they immediately spotted Liang You, who was looking down and playing with her phone.

Qi Meng’an grabbed one person with each hand and dragged the two of them out of the teaching building.

It was right after school, and the campus was packed with people. As far as the eye could see, everyone was heading toward the school gates.

The three of them were forced to slow down in the crowd.

Liang You tapped open her phone and shared the news she had just seen on the school forum. Excitement was hard to hide in her voice. “Isn’t tomorrow the school anniversary? Guess who’s coming!”

Qi Meng’an played along. “Who? Who?”

A University was full of talented people. There were countless alumni who had donated money and buildings to the school, so it really was hard to guess.

Jiang Yuan’s attention was also drawn over.

“Senior Yu Qingshi!” Liang You enlarged the photo on the forum.

In the photo, the woman wore a white sequined fishtail dress. Her black hair was slightly curled, falling to her waist like silk. Behind her was the media wall of a film festival. She held a trophy in her hands, her aura cold and aloof. On her fair face was a rare smile.

Qi Meng’an was shocked. “Oh my god, Yu Qingshi? Really? Isn’t she overseas attending a film festival?”

“It seems she came back right after accepting the award.” Liang You noticed Jiang Yuan’s gaze and specially moved the phone forward.

Qi Meng’an was standing between the two of them, so they were a little far apart. Liang You’s thumb accidentally touched the screen, and the photo shrank back down.

Jiang Yuan only had time to catch a pair of smiling amber eyes and the small mole at the corner of her eye.

She pursed her lips into a smile. “Mm. She’s quite beautiful.”

Qi Meng’an let out a long sigh. “If only I were an Alpha.”

Liang You chuckled and teased, “Then you’d still have to be an S-rank Alpha, okay?”

The two of them kept chatting. Jiang Yuan’s thoughts gradually drifted away.

She was a transmigrator.

To be precise, after checking her body, she discovered that she had transmigrated physically.

This was not some novel she had read either. It was just an ordinary world.

She was a lonely university student with no one depending on her and nothing much to long for. The original identity also had no real family or friends, so Jiang Yuan adapted quite well after coming here.

She gradually blended into dormitory life and university life too.

The only problem was that the original identity studied physics, a major she had never touched before. Because of that, she had recently been spending every day soaking in the library.

Listening to the two of them talk, Jiang Yuan pulled her thoughts back.

As expected of the School of Physics, perhaps?

Even the dormitory buildings were divided into Alpha, Beta, and Omega.

Fortunately, the original identity’s grades were average, so she had been assigned to the Beta dormitory building. Otherwise, no matter how quickly Jiang Yuan learned, she would have been exposed.

The three roommates had a good relationship and agreed to gather once a week to eat something nice off campus. This week, they had booked a hotpot restaurant in advance.

The restaurant was in an alley outside the school. It was an old, well-known establishment near A University. As evening approached, every seat in the restaurant was full, packed with people.

Inside the hotpot restaurant, steam curled upward and voices filled the air. Staying there made one’s head feel dizzy. While waiting for the food, Jiang Yuan stepped outside to get some air.

＊

At night, the breeze carried a faint chill, blowing the green leaves along the street into each other with a soft rustling sound.

The footsteps behind her were heavy and chaotic. Yu Qingshi slipped into an alley.

She did not know who had leaked her schedule tonight, but a group of stalker fans had gathered outside the restaurant.

Worse still, during the social dinner, many kinds of pheromones had mixed together, irritating the gland at the back of her neck until it throbbed faintly.

Yu Qingshi tightened her grip around the syringe hidden inside her clothes. The tube was cold, stimulating her nerves and pulling back a bit of her rationality.

Luckily, she carried suppressants with her. Nothing too serious should happen.

Yu Qingshi got up and walked deeper into the alley.

Before she had taken more than a few steps, three thugs walked toward her from the opposite direction. Their gazes swept over her without the slightest concealment, staring tightly at Yu Qingshi.

Yu Qingshi was extremely sensitive to malicious gazes. In an instant, she became alert, and her brows furrowed.

“Yo, little Omega. Is your heat here?”

“How about it? Want us to help you?”

As they spoke, three kinds of pungent pheromones mixed together and surged toward her.

“Get lost.” Yu Qingshi’s eyes were icy.

An S-rank Omega had an extremely sharp sense of smell. Even the faintest trace of pheromones in the air would be caught.

Three Alphas.

In fact, they were much easier to deal with than Betas who could not smell pheromones.

In ABO society, pheromones suppressed others according to rank. A few B-rank Alphas were completely insignificant in front of an S-rank.

Yu Qingshi raised her hand and peeled open a corner of the suppressant patch on her neck. The cold, fragrant scent of magnolia found an opening and surged out wantonly, spreading in an instant.

Before Yu Qingshi could make her next move, a sound suddenly came from the side.

“What are you doing?” Jiang Yuan quickly approached, reaching out to shield Yu Qingshi behind her. She pointed the metal rod she had grabbed in passing at the three men. “I’ve already called the police. What are you trying to do?”

The situation changed too quickly.

Yu Qingshi raised a brow. Her lashes lowered, and her gaze swept over the girl’s neck. It was pale, clean, and cold-looking, with the bones of her neck slightly protruding.

A Beta.

No wonder.

Yu Qingshi gladly hid behind her. Her brows lowered slightly, her face full of innocence.

Across from them, the three Alphas’ faces were pale. Their bodies twitched, suppressed so badly that they almost fell to their knees.

Three Alphas whose legs had gone soft and trembling from pheromone suppression, and the one being carefully and considerately protected behind someone—

The suppressor herself.

Yu Qingshi kindly stuck the suppressant patch back on.

As soon as the pheromones were drawn back, the three Alphas immediately supported one another and staggered away.

Jiang Yuan glanced suspiciously at the metal rod in her hand. To prevent the three of them from turning back, she still gripped it tightly.

She turned around. “Are you okay?”

The person in front of her was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, not revealing even a bit of skin. From what could be seen, her face was narrow and her head small, making her mask and sunglasses look especially huge.

Although Jiang Yuan could not see her appearance clearly, just standing there, she had a slender, upright figure like a magnolia just beginning to bloom—graceful, cool, and eye-catching.

After this brief interruption, Yu Qingshi’s gland had already started heating up. The warmth traveled through the tips of her ears and reached her face. Even her fingertips were beginning to go soft.

Yu Qingshi raised her eyes and, through her sunglasses, saw a pair of worried yet earnest eyes.

Perhaps she could let her help.

Yu Qingshi reached up and took off her sunglasses and mask. Her lashes lowered, casting a layer of shadow over her eyelids. “Can I ask you for a favor?”

Jiang Yuan’s gaze froze.

The person before her had dazzlingly beautiful features and a cold, aloof temperament. Yet at this moment, her face was flushed red, and her eyes seemed to be filled with mist.

She nodded subconsciously and said seriously, “Should I take you to the hospital?”

As she spoke, she stepped forward and held Yu Qingshi’s arm.

Yu Qingshi’s body stiffened. As Jiang Yuan came closer, the scent on her body instantly became clear.

The scent of lime was fresh and pleasant, carrying a faint chill. It was as if even her gland cooled down quite a bit with it.

Yu Qingshi abruptly pushed Jiang Yuan away and snapped, “You’re an Alpha?!”

Jiang Yuan was pushed half a step back. Her face was full of confusion, and she was a little stunned.

Alpha? Did saving someone also depend on that?

Yu Qingshi frowned and sensed the difference in the scent.

This was not pheromones.

Otherwise, she would have smelled it before the person even came close.

It was the fragrance on a Beta’s body.

Faint, thread by thread, the fresh scent seemed as if it wanted to wrap around her.

“You’re a Beta.”

“I’m sorry.” Yu Qingshi’s nerves relaxed, and her voice carried apology. “I misunderstood.”

Jiang Yuan shook her head. “It’s okay.”

She did not know how the other person had distinguished it. Could it be? Did she have the face of a Beta with average grades?

The heat in Yu Qingshi’s body grew increasingly intense. Her whole body went weak, and she could barely stand. Instinctively, she grabbed the little Beta’s hand in front of her and handed over the suppressant hidden in her clothes.

“Help me inject the suppressant.”

Jiang Yuan took it. The syringe had already been warmed by the person in front of her. Even the liquid inside seemed to have been stained with her warmth, scalding Jiang Yuan’s palm for a moment.

She did not know if it was an illusion, but she smelled faint strands of magnolia fragrance.

Jiang Yuan unconsciously looked at the person in front of her. It should be the perfume on this woman, who was like a magnolia herself.

She lowered her head to inspect it.

The syringe in her hand had no special instructions. The tube was clean and unmarked. The needle was about half a finger long, flashing with cold silver light beneath the streetlamp.

The alley was remote and quiet. At this moment, there was no one around.

Yu Qingshi supported herself against the wall and turned around. She gathered her long black hair over her shoulder and raised her hand to peel off the suppressant patch. The magnolia fragrance surged out one after another, instantly spreading through the alley.

The scent was light, but extremely invasive. For a moment, Jiang Yuan felt as if she were strolling through a sea of magnolias.

Magnolia blossoms stood upright on the branches, giving off a faint, cold fragrance.

The woman before her had turned her back. Her neck was long and slender, fair as jade, like a white swan lowering its head.

The bone at the back of her neck protruded slightly, small and delicate, but the center was flushed pink and seemed a little swollen.

Jiang Yuan was full of questions. She hesitated before speaking. “Where… where do I inject it?”

Yu Qingshi: “…”

Do Betas these days not take ABO physiology class?

She lifted a finger. Her fingertip was soft and pink as she pointed to the swollen area, patiently explaining, “Here.”

Jiang Yuan froze. “But…”

“Is there anything else you don’t understand?” Yu Qingshi turned her face to look at the Beta.

Her cheeks were faintly flushed pink. A layer of moisture rose in her amber eyes, and a small mole dotted the corner of her eye.

Something flashed through Jiang Yuan’s mind, but she failed to catch it. For some reason, she felt that this seemed familiar.

She did not think further. The current situation was rather urgent, so Jiang Yuan spoke quickly, afraid of wasting time.

“But insulin can’t be injected here, right?”
