After Attending School A, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 23.2

The Omega in front of him was indeed very beautiful. Her face was like a pearl, smooth and lustrous, and her lips were full and tender, making one want to take a bite.

Qin Fengyue: “I still want to be an Alpha. Is there a way?”

The doctor snapped back and looked at her, offering a half-serious suggestion: “Gender reassignment surgery?”

Qin Fengyue rubbed her chin, pondering.

Seeing that the Omega was actually considering it, the doctor felt overwhelmed. “Don’t be impulsive. You definitely won’t have as much of a market as a trans man as you do as an Omega.”

Qin Fengyue looked serious and showed the doctor the almost full list of friends on her WeChat. “If I become an Omega, all two thousand Omegas on my list will have their hearts broken.”

“I was a respectable ‘Sea King’ (player).”

The doctor: “…”

“How much do you like her? Do you want to go to bed with her and form a bond?” the merchant teased.

Jiang Zhao’s hand instinctively rubbed the rim of the paper cup. A bit of water spilled onto her hand, but she didn’t notice, her gaze growing deeper and deeper.

The merchant started tapping away on the landline.

Jiang Zhao snapped back: “What?”

The merchant: “Your gaze is too dangerous. I want to call the police. I’m an Omega too, after all… Crap, that gave me the chills!”

Jiang Zhao gave a wry smile. She crossed her long legs and folded her hands over her knee, saying airily, “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I truly have no reaction to the pheromones of other Omegas.”

The merchant sniffed. “That’s strange. You say you’re intolerant to Omega pheromones? But the girl you’re chasing is an Omega?”

“So how did you find out she’s an Omega?”

Jiang Zhao raised her hand, her long, straight lashes drooping. She held her hand up before her eyes and recalled: “This morning, her reaction to a susceptible Alpha’s pheromones seemed wrong. And my pheromones too… I’m not sure, I only suspect it.”

The merchant was puzzled. “What if she isn’t an Omega?”

Jiang Zhao: “It doesn’t matter if she is or isn’t. If she’s an Alpha, I can get close to her by claiming I have a severe Omega rejection but a high tolerance for Alphas. If she’s an Omega, my ‘rejection disorder’ will happen to make her lower her guard.”

Jiang Zhao paused. “I’m 70% sure she’s an Omega.”

“Why?”

“After she differentiated, we had a brief hug.”

The merchant looked suggestive and refilled her water. “You had a reaction?”

Jiang Zhao gripped the cup tight; the liquid swirled against the wall. With just a bit more force, it would overflow.

Jiang Zhao’s throat bobbed. She gave an “mm.”

“You like her that much? One hug and you want to do that? How much do you like her? Want to form a bond?”

Recalling that scent of wine, Jiang Zhao pursed her lips.

Red wine isn’t like other liquors that have a bitterness when they hit the palate; it’s more of a mellow fragrance. It’s easier to drink than hard liquor, yet it isn’t as shallow as common alcohol. Red wine is suitable for sipping and for getting drunk; its long-lasting afterglow acts as a slow bewitchment. By the time one realizes it, they are already heavily intoxicated.

It started to rain—a fine, drizzling rain.

The brief silence stretched time infinitely.

Jiang Zhao suddenly asked, “Is it done?”

The merchant gave an “Ah.” “Oh, I’ll do it now.”

“Don’t write today’s date.”

“Yes.”

“Make the edges look a bit worn.”

“No problem.”

“The cause of the illness is psychological factors.”

“Yes, psychological factors. Wouldn’t want that little O to think you’re impotent!”

“Don’t leave any flaws.”

“Sigh…”

Leaving the hospital, Qin Fengyue carefully tucked away all her reports and receipts. She checked the location she had sent to Jiang Zhao and took a taxi to meet her.

Halfway there, a fine rain began to fall. Muffled thunder rolled; it looked like the rain wouldn’t stop anytime soon.

I differentiated into an Omega. What should I do?

Should I tell Qin Dong and Fang Yi?

If I do…

Qin Fengyue opened her phone; it was practically exploding with messages. From yesterday’s differentiation until now, she hadn’t had a chance to reply.

If she told Qin Dong she was an Omega, she’d definitely have to withdraw from Alpha High. Withdrawing was a good thing, but the thought of returning to United Middle School… as someone who went from Alpha to Omega… it was too socially embarrassing!

“Did you hear? Qin Fengyue differentiated into an Omega! Didn’t she always brag about being a Super Alpha?”

“Differentiated into an Omega? Will those Omegas who said they were waiting for her to become an Alpha want to scratch her face off?”

“Hahahaha!”

“Destination reached, please—” the mechanical voice interrupted her thoughts.

The driver: “We’re here.”

Qin Fengyue paid and got out, accidentally stepping into a puddle.

“…”

When luck is bad, even drinking cold water gets stuck in your teeth.

Qin Fengyue shielded herself from the rain and ran to the nearest eaves. Soon, the wind and rain swept in, soaking even this tiny bit of dry land.

Qin Fengyue looked behind her. It was an alley. Since it was raining and a workday, there was no one on the road. She walked in against the wind to hide from the rain. Feeling dejected, the thought of being a confirmed Omega made her heart and nose feel sore.

As she walked, she realized she was a bit far from the meeting spot. She wiped a bit of moisture from the corner of her eye and sent Jiang Zhao a new location.

Jiang Zhao arrived quickly, smelling of dampness, her clothes and hair soaked. “Why did you come here?”

Suddenly seeing a familiar face—even if this person didn’t always get along with her—Qin Fengyue felt her internal bitterness find an outlet. Jiang Zhao had even told her about her insensitivity to Omegas.

She thought, it should be fine to vent a bit to Jiang Zhao.

After careful consideration, Qin Fengyue said, “Jiang Zhao, I might be transferred back to United Middle School.”

Jiang Zhao’s heart jumped. She quickly hid her emotions. The remaining 30% of uncertainty now had an answer. She clenched her fist and asked naturally, “Why?”

Suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps and screams came from the alley entrance.

“I—”

Qin Fengyue still had her head down when her hand was suddenly gripped, and she was pulled into a nearby shadow by Jiang Zhao.

They were pressed against each other, front to back. Qin Fengyue was stunned by the warm, damp body heat behind her. Before she understood what was happening, the Alpha’s breath brushed against her gland—scalding hot. Being so close gave her the delusion that she could be marked by the Alpha at any moment.

No… don’t…

Qin Fengyue squirmed, earning a muffled groan from the person behind her. Jiang Zhao covered her mouth, looking down in a silent question. Qin Fengyue pulled her hand away and glared back at her.

The rainy wind was damp and cool. Jiang Zhao’s messy, wet black hair hung over her forehead, partially obscuring her obsidian eyes.

“You’re being a hooligan.”

Jiang Zhao widened her eyes in surprise. “We’re both Alphas. How am I being a hooligan?”

Qin Fengyue’s neck stiffened. Jiang Zhao didn’t know she was an Omega; she wasn’t wrong. For a moment, she couldn’t call her a hooligan, but she couldn’t refute it either. Qin Fengyue huffed in anger.

There was a smile in Jiang Zhao’s eyes. Her chin was positioned right by Qin Fengyue’s cool, dry lips. “Keep it down. Don’t you know this alley is the famous ‘Loss of Virginity Alley’? You’re getting bolder, coming here.”

Loss of Virginity Alley?

The name spoke for itself. How could Qin Fengyue not have heard of it? It was the most sordid alley in the city. Many couples came here for trysts, and strangers came for hookups. A street away were bars and nightclubs.

Qin Fengyue looked up and sighed, “You scared me to death.”

Her breath brushed against the Alpha’s neck and chin.

Jiang Zhao suddenly tightened her arms, imprisoning her. Her raspy voice held a trace of remaining logic: “Shh, stop talking.”

Qin Fengyue’s legs lost strength and she slid down. Jiang Zhao caught her waist. “What is it?”

Qin Fengyue’s breathing quickened. “You’re too close.”

Jiang Zhao’s proximity was delicate. Her phoenix eyes seemed to gaze at her neck for a long time. Qin Fengyue’s breathing was erratic under the gaze, and suspicion rose in her heart.

The commotion in the alley hadn’t stopped; it was getting closer. Someone stepped into a puddle and threw a running Omega to the ground.

“Dammit, keep running!”

“Bastard! Weren’t you arrogant before? What happened? Got scared? Impotent?”

“Brother Wang! I really didn’t mean to disturb you—”

“Brother Wang has been waiting for him to differentiate into an Omega. Now that he has, why don’t we just do it right here—”

The thug calling him Brother Wang lowered his voice. “Let’s rape him. What do you think?”

“No! Let me go—” the Omega’s voice was full of tears and pleading.

Several Alphas drove him to a dead end, shamelessly releasing their pheromones.

“Do him.”

“Dammit, Omegas are all sluts. Let me see your pants.”

“Hahahaha, so small. You should just wear a skirt.”

The sounds of laughter and insults drifted over.

Qin Fengyue hid in the shadow, Jiang Zhao’s soft yet firm body behind her. The Alpha’s warm body heat seared through their clothes like a branding iron, making her uncomfortable all over. She struggled to move her body. “I want to go out.”

“Don’t be in a hurry.”

There it was again—that lazy, casual tone, like a hook pulling a nerve out through her ear.

Jiang Zhao held up a recording pen in her palm for Qin Fengyue to see. “Wait a bit longer.”

Qin Fengyue: “…”

Qin Fengyue licked her lips and pulled out her suppressant. From a difficult angle, she sprayed it repeatedly on her face and neck. The fresh scent of green grass instantly diluted the faint wine aroma in the air.

Jiang Zhao was sprayed with a face full of mist. “…”

Qin Fengyue asked uneasily, “I feel better. What about you?”

After a moment of silence, Qin Fengyue shifted her gaze awkwardly. Jiang Zhao let her go. “Sorry, I forgot you have an Alpha rejection. Holding you like this must be uncomfortable.”

Qin Fengyue: “…”

She wasn’t uncomfortable; she just had weak legs and a pounding heart.

“You have no reaction at all?” Qin Fengyue asked, surprised. She was an Omega now, after all.

Jiang Zhao’s gaze was like an abyss, hidden in the darkness, leaving only a hint of cold light in her eyes. She was not okay, not okay at all.

Qin Fengyue: “I guess asking you is pointless. It’s rare to find someone who doesn’t like Omegas… and doesn’t like Alphas either.”

“You’re right,” Jiang Zhao smiled. “So I’ll have to rely on you for my matter.”

Jiang Zhao let go of Qin Fengyue and disappeared around the corner ahead of her. Qin Fengyue chased after her. The two appeared suddenly at the narrow end of the alley, looking aggressive, which quickly caught the attention of the thugs.

A thug on the ground was pulling at the Omega’s pants, trying to strip them. Seeing Jiang Zhao and Qin Fengyue, the male Alphas whistled at them suggestively.

One thug asked, “Alphas?”

Jiang Zhao tilted her chin, her tone undeniable: “Let him go.”

“You say let him go, so we do? Won’t we lose face?”

“What? Want to join us?” one thug said, making eye contact with his friends before they burst into laughter.

Click, click, click.

A camera flash flickered. The Alphas’ faces went cold as they looked at the person hiding behind Jiang Zhao.

Qin Fengyue sauntered out with her hands behind her back, grinning as she waved her phone. “I took photos. I advise you to leave if you don’t want trouble.”

The thugs looked at each other, spat on the ground, threw out some threats, and left. One of them reluctantly kicked the Omega on the ground.

Qin Fengyue blinked. “That went surprisingly smoothly.”

Qin Fengyue ran to the Omega and handed him her jacket. “If you don’t mind, use this to cover up.”

She gave a brilliant smile, without a hint of contempt in her eyes. Her peach-blossom eyes were naturally affectionate; even looking at a dog, she seemed to be gazing deeply with love.

The Omega blushed under her gaze and gratefully clutched the jacket. “Th-thank you.”

Qin Fengyue: “Get up. I’ll take you to the hospital. Do you want to call the police?”

The Omega shook his head gently.

Qin Fengyue smiled tenderly and rubbed the Omega’s head. “Don’t be afraid. ‘Pain, pain, fly away’.”

Jiang Zhao “tsked,” crossed her arms, and ground a loose stone under her foot.
