After Breaking Up with the Scumbag Girl, I Became an Alpha [Entertainment Circle] (GL) - Chapter 4

Because the classroom seats had been chosen haphazardly, Liu Xiaoguang took advantage of the class meeting to make significant adjustments. He wrote everyone’s student number on the blackboard, and students simply had to find their corresponding seat.

As a result, Xu Wuhuan and Yuan Lai were separated.

Yuan Lai sighed, “Alas, I didn’t think we’d be separated so soon. I’m so sad.”

Xu Wuhuan mercilessly exposed her. “Come on, stop it. Sitting next to your crush, you’re probably so happy you can’t see straight.”

Yuan Lai has a secret crush on a female Alpha in their class, the class monitor Cheng Yan, a cold academic who only focuses on studying. Xu Wuhuan was not optimistic about the two of them.

Yuan Lai giggled. “Don’t expose me.”

Xu Wuhuan laughed, lightly scolded her, and went to move her desk. They had too many books, so they simply moved the desk and all its contents together.

Xu Wuhuan’s new seat was quite far away. After setting up her own spot, she realized she didn’t know who her deskmate was, only that the person sitting with her was number 18. She went to the front to check the list of all student numbers.

Number 18: Zhong Yan.

Xu Wuhuan raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting to be deskmates with her.

She looked around, trying to find where Zhong Yan was.

Zhong Yan was still struggling to move her desk at her old spot. She had too many things—besides miscellaneous books, she had all sorts of sundries, making it seem like she had moved her entire home to school.

And she was petite, so it looked truly strenuous.

Xu Wuhuan couldn’t stand watching and walked over to help her.

Zhong Yan was sweating profusely from the effort, and the new spot was far. She couldn’t help but think how difficult this was for her.

Just as she was lamenting her fate, a pair of hands grasped the sides of the desk. Zhong Yan tilted her head. “Hey? You…”

“At the rate you’re going, when will you finish moving?” Xu Wuhuan picked up the desk without a word. “Go move the chair.”

Zhong Yan smiled. “Thank you.”

An Alpha’s strength is no joke. She easily moved the desk right next to her new seat.

Zhong Yan then realized she and Xu Wuhuan were deskmates and said in surprise, “We’re deskmates!”

“Yes, we are,” Xu Wuhuan couldn’t resist teasing her, leaning closer. “Is that a problem?”

Zhong Yan beamed. “Of course, it’s not a problem!”

Being deskmates is the best way to get closer, and in just a few days, Xu Wuhuan and Zhong Yan had become familiar with each other. Once familiar, certain traits of the other person became increasingly apparent.

For instance, Xu Wuhuan found that Zhong Yan was sometimes not very honest; she disliked English class and always read novels during it, even asking Xu Wuhuan to cover for her. Xu Wuhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She had to listen to the lecture while keeping an eye on the teacher’s movements.

During self-study, Zhong Yan also loved leaning on Xu Wuhuan’s shoulder to read. She would blink her eyes and ask, “Do you mind if I lean on your shoulder for a bit?”

Zhong Yan’s eyes were large, containing a bright, clear spring, devastatingly innocent and endearing. Xu Wuhuan couldn’t refuse, so she agreed. Zhong Yan would then contentedly lean on her shoulder. Sometimes, if she felt uncomfortable, she would constantly rub and squirm to find a comfortable position.

Xu Wuhuan always felt like there was a little cat climbing all over her. To be honest, Xu Wuhuan really liked this feeling of being depended on; it made her feel needed, and a wonderful, comfortable sensation flooded her body.

Besides this, Zhong Yan loved to sleep and could fall asleep anytime, anywhere. She seemed very clingy, sometimes resting her head on Xu Wuhuan’s shoulder when the desk felt too hard.

Xu Wuhuan often pinched her cheek, teasing her with a smile. “Why are you always sleeping, and why do you always like leaning on someone else’s shoulder? Are you a cat?”

Zhong Yan, sleepy-faced, closed her eyes and whined fuzzily, “The desk is too hard, though.”

Xu Wuhuan smiled, finding her utterly adorable like this.

Their relationship heated up rapidly, and Zhong Yan also began to enjoy being with her more and more. She was actually a very clingy person. Her father had told her more than once that she was too demanding.

Her friends also often told her she was too clingy and needed to grow up.

She always felt helpless. She really liked Xu Wuhuan for generously accepting her clingy little nature.

One day during the long break between classes, it was raining outside, so the school didn’t let them go down for running.

During the break, Zhong Yan was reading at her desk. Someone patted her shoulder. Zhong Yan tilted her head. A pretty girl in a white camisole dress stood by her seat, accompanied by two others.

Zhong Yan recognized her. This girl was famous in the second year and throughout the school; she was the second-year beauty, Wen Yi, a very pretty Omega. It was rumored that many Alphas liked her.

Zhong Yan sat up straight. “Are you… looking for me?”

Wen Yi smiled faintly and said softly, “Classmate, could you let me sit in your seat for a moment?”

“Huh?” Zhong Yan was confused for a few seconds.

Wen Yi smiled gently. “I want to talk to Xu Wuhuan about something… it’s a bit private.”

Zhong Yan instinctively glanced at Xu Wuhuan. Their seats were by the window, and Xu Wuhuan was sitting right by the window, currently napping with her head on the desk, unaware of the situation.

It was no secret that Wen Yi liked Xu Wuhuan, so Zhong Yan naturally knew. She hesitated about whether to get up.

The person next to Wen Yi was already impatient. “Why are you being slow? Can’t you understand what she said?”

Some people in the class also liked Wen Yi. Seeing the situation, they all looked over at Zhong Yan, and slowly more and more people joined in.

Zhong Yan was just a Beta. Because she was usually small and shy, her presence was quite low. Wen Yi, however, was a beautiful Omega. People always tended to favor flashy and beautiful individuals, so their gazes toward Zhong Yan carried a slight hostility.

Zhong Yan had never been stared at by so many people. She already had slight social anxiety and was very afraid of public attention. Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she slowly started to stand up.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist and pressed her back down.

Xu Wuhuan raised her head irritably, her eyes drooping, her brow showing the displeasure of being disturbed.

She casually ran her hand through her hair and gave Wen Yi a lazy glance.

Wen Yi’s eyes lit up. “Wuhuan…”

“Wen Yi,” Xu Wuhuan said softly. Her voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up, and her tone was cold. “Aren’t you annoying?”

Wen Yi’s expression froze for a second. She said awkwardly, “I just wanted to talk to you.”

“If you have something to say, say it quickly. Just stand there. Say it and leave quickly.”

The person next to Wen Yi couldn’t stand Xu Wuhuan’s arrogant attitude and complained, “Xu Wuhuan, what’s with your attitude?”

Xu Wuhuan yawned, unconcerned. “What’s wrong with my attitude? If you have something to say, you can say it while standing there; I’m not deaf. There’s no need to take someone else’s seat.”

Wen Yi adjusted her stiff expression, returning to her gentle, beautiful demeanor. “Wuhuan, I have a dance performance this weekend. Can you come and see it?”

Xu Wuhuan casually played with Zhong Yan’s soft hand under the desk. Zhong Yan tilted her head and opened her eyes slightly to look at her, seeming to question her, “What are you doing?”

Xu Wuhuan smiled at her, then reverted to her lazy look. “I don’t have time.”

“But…” Wen Yi was persistent.

Xu Wuhuan directly interrupted her. “You can invite Gu Chang’an.”

The moment she spoke, the expressions of everyone around, including Wen Yi and her group, froze.

Gu Chang’an was a student in the second year, a very handsome Alpha from a wealthy family, and a popular figure in the school. He and Wen Yi had dated, but later broke up. That was not strange, but coming from Xu Wuhuan’s mouth, it was very odd. The group of gossipers faintly sensed a complicated love-hate relationship.

Fearing that Xu Wuhuan might misunderstand, Wen Yi quickly explained, “He and I broke up a long time ago. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

Xu Wuhuan pulled at the corner of her mouth, suddenly stood up, took a step forward, placed her hand on Zhong Yan’s shoulder, and leaned close to Wen Yi. She whispered in a tone only the two of them could hear, “Wen Yi, I’m a germaphobe. Anything that Gu Chang’an has touched, I will absolutely never touch again.”

Wen Yi’s face immediately turned pale.

Xu Wuhuan curved her lips as if she had succeeded. Wen Yi blinked helplessly and, unable to stay any longer, ran out of the classroom.

The people in the class were left utterly confused.

Zhong Yan also didn’t understand why Wen Yi suddenly became so flustered. Before she could think about it, Xu Wuhuan hugged her neck from behind, tilted her head, and brought her face close to Zhong Yan’s eyes, whispering, “Why did you listen to her just now?”

The warm breath sprayed onto her cheek. Zhong Yan felt a tingling sensation, and her mind went blank. She mumbled confusedly, “…I don’t know.”

Xu Wuhuan laughed out loud, the airy sound reaching Zhong Yan’s ear. It made her body shudder as if struck by an electric current.

Xu Wuhuan let go of her, sat back down, and messed up her bangs. “Don’t always listen to others. You need to have your own opinion.”

Zhong Yan calmly tidied her bangs and obediently said, “Oh.”

“Why did that person’s expression suddenly become so bad?” Zhong Yan couldn’t help but be curious.

“I don’t know,” Xu Wuhuan’s eyes beneath her eyelashes swirled with hidden thoughts. She smiled ambiguously, as if talking to herself. “Maybe she felt she was being played with.”

Zhong Yan didn’t understand and frowned.

Xu Wuhuan pinched her cheek and smiled. “Don’t worry about it. Just don’t be a fool who does whatever people tell you to do, understood?”

“Aiya, you sound like my dad. So nagging.”

Xu Wuhuan was amused. “Why not like your mother?”

“My mother died,” Zhong Yan said, tilting her head. “She was a Beta, and she died during childbirth.” Perhaps because she had no clear memory of her, Zhong Yan wasn’t particularly sad.

Xu Wuhuan felt a bit guilty. “Ah, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay,” Zhong Yan rested her head on the desk, facing Xu Wuhuan, her eyes curved in a smile. “Even though I don’t have a mom, my dad loves me very much. He’s an Alpha, and he’s very formidable.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. What about you? Were you born to an Omega, or a Beta? Since you’re so formidable, you must have been born to an Omega.”

Generally speaking, children born to an Alpha and an Omega often have superior genes. Although an Alpha can be with a Beta, their children are usually considered less genetically superior, though exceptions are not impossible. Children born to a Beta can also have excellent genes, but there are certain limitations.

Xu Wuhuan smiled very strangely. “…Mhm.”

Zhong Yan’s eyes were full of longing. “I feel like Alphas are all so impressive—they’re beautiful and have high fighting power. Unlike me, a Beta, weak, pitiful, and helpless.” She sighed, joking.

Xu Wuhuan couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t overthink it. Haven’t you differentiated yet? Maybe you’ll miraculously differentiate into an Alpha?”

Zhong Yan pondered for a while, but still shook her head. “Forget it, the probability is too low. Besides, if I become an Alpha, I might also give birth to… that.” Zhong Yan said the last few words with a look of difficulty.

Xu Wuhuan couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. She uncontrollably messed up Zhong Yan’s bangs again. “You really are… isn’t that a common thing?”

Zhong Yan grabbed her hand, complaining with slight dissatisfaction, “Stop touching my bangs! They look ugly! Why are you laughing? I just think it’s a bit embarrassing.”

After speaking, she pouted, looking as if she had been wronged.

Xu Wuhuan was laughing uncontrollably. “How can you be so cute?”

She had never seen such a silly, adorable person. She found it exceptionally precious.
