After Differentiation, I Marked My Arch-nemesis - Chapter 16

The brilliant sunlight coated everyone on the field in a layer of light.

Jiang Youli looked at Qiao Yixun getting closer and closer to Lu Yaoyi. Unconsciously, her lips pressed together, and she swallowed. A string in her heart tightened.

She didn’t even realize that she was nervous.

Qiao Yixun walked up to Lu Yaoyi and said something to her.

The next second, Lu Yaoyi turned and walked away.

Jin Rubing picked up the badminton shuttlecock from the ground and quickly followed her.

The moment Lu Yaoyi turned around, Jiang Youli felt a heavy weight lift from her heart. She didn’t think of Lu Yaoyi as aloof at all, but she felt that Lu Yaoyi’s actions didn’t disappoint her. She even felt a sense of relief.

She just didn’t realize that was how she felt.

And no one else would.

When Chen Huaian saw Lu Yaoyi leave, he almost clapped his hands in celebration. Lu Yaoyi didn’t disappoint him, an Omega. He genuinely didn’t want Lu Yaoyi to be messed around with by an Alpha like Qiao Yixun. Qiao Yixun was only suitable for friendship, not a relationship.

He glanced at Jiang Youli.

He saw that she wasn’t as angry as before, so he walked over and said to her, “Boss, Lu Yaoyi didn’t even talk to Sister Xun.”

Jiang Youli watched Lu Yaoyi and Jin Rubing’s retreating figures.

After a long silence, she looked away and scoffed. “It’s her loss.”

Chen Huaian was speechless.

He thought that Lu Yaoyi’s choice not to talk to Qiao Yixun was the right one. He remembered Jiang Youli’s contradictory words from earlier and couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, do you want Lu Yaoyi to talk to Sister Xun or not?”

Jiang Youli turned her head and looked at Lu Yaoyi, who was about to disappear in the distance.

Then she said, “I want her to stay away from Sister Xun.”

The farther, the better.

Chen Huaian wished that Qiao Yixun would stay away from Lu Yaoyi. However, Jiang Youli’s answer was pretty much the same. But once Qiao Yixun set her sights on a goal, she wouldn’t give up easily, especially since Lu Yaoyi was an extremely rare S-class Omega with both looks and talent.

He looked at Lu Yaoyi’s retreating back.

“Boss, I hope Sister Xun gives up on Lu Yaoyi.”

Jiang Youli didn’t say anything.

A moment later, Qiao Yixun and Liu Hanyu came back.

Qiao Yixun walked up to Jiang Youli, looking crestfallen, without any of the Alpha dominance or pressure she usually had. “A-You, you said Lu Yaoyi isn’t difficult to approach. Why did she ignore me and leave when I just asked if she wanted to be friends?”

“Sister Xun… well…” Jiang Youli didn’t know how to explain.

“Lu Yaoyi really is cool and difficult to approach,” Liu Hanyu said.

“A-You, you’re the only one who doesn’t think Lu Yaoyi is difficult to approach. Does that mean that Lu Yaoyi only lets you approach her?” Qiao Yixun said with a laugh.

Jiang Youli was speechless.

Lu Yaoyi only lets me approach her?

She felt that Qiao Yixun’s words were a little strange.

But she couldn’t figure out what was so strange about them.

Hmph. That annoying girl, Lu Yaoyi, only ever gets on my nerves.

When Chen Huaian heard what Qiao Yixun said, he suddenly thought that Lu Yaoyi’s reactions were indeed strange. Jiang Youli was always picking on and bullying Lu Yaoyi, so why did Lu Yaoyi still let Jiang Youli approach her? It was so weird.

Could it be… that Lu Yaoyi is a masochist?

“A-You,” Qiao Yixun said.

She took out her phone. “Give me Lu Yaoyi’s contact info.”

Jiang Youli was slightly stunned and didn’t say anything.

Qiao Yixun saw her stiff expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Youli came to her senses, feeling a little embarrassed for no reason. “N-nothing.”

“Then give me Lu Yaoyi’s contact info,” Qiao Yixun said. “I want to try to talk to her first. Maybe over time, she’ll slowly accept me.”

Jiang Youli looked at Qiao Yixun.

Before her brain could even catch up, her mouth said without her permission, “Sister Xun, I… I don’t have Lu Yaoyi’s contact info.”

She gave Qiao Yixun a guilty smile. “I deleted it a long time ago.”

“Right, A-You. My bad. How could you have her contact info when you hate her so much?” Qiao Yixun said. She then turned to Chen Huaian, her eyes filled with hope. “Huaian, do you have Lu Yaoyi’s contact info?”

Chen Huaian immediately shook his head. “Even less likely, Sister Xun.”

How could I have her contact info when I’ve never even spoken to her?

“Okay, then I’ll just have to think of another way,” Qiao Yixun said.

“Sorry, Sister Xun,” Jiang Youli said.

“It’s fine,” Qiao Yixun said.

She gently stroked Jiang Youli’s head. “Then Hanyu and I will get going.”

“Okay,” Jiang Youli said with a smile.

Qiao Yixun and Liu Hanyu turned and left without looking back.

The smile on Jiang Youli’s face instantly disappeared. Her feelings were very complicated as she watched Qiao Yixun’s retreating figure. She was just so unhappy, but she didn’t know why.

She held out her hand to Chen Huaian. “Huaian.”

“Huh?” Chen Huaian said.

“Give me my phone,” Jiang Youli said.

Her sports skirt didn’t have any pockets, so she had left her phone with Chen Huaian.

“Oh, right,” Chen Huaian said.

He immediately took the phone out of his pocket and put it in her hand.

Jiang Youli took the phone and sat down on the bench. She deliberately positioned herself to avoid Chen Huaian’s gaze, opened her phone, and clicked on the chat with the person she had saved as “Lu Yaoyi, the Annoying Girl.” Her chat history with Lu Yaoyi stopped on August 10, Lu Yaoyi’s birthday.

She had sent her “Happy Birthday.”

Because Li Henian and Jiang Xiyuan would ask her every year if she had wished Lu Yaoyi a happy birthday, she would proactively wish her a happy birthday on that day. Lu Yaoyi knew why she did it, but she always replied with a “thank you.”

She didn’t know why she had lied to Qiao Yixun just now.

But she did it anyway.
