After Differentiation, I Marked My Arch-nemesis - Chapter 32

After school in the afternoon.

Jiang Youli hadn’t hung out with her friends for about half a month. Now that Qiao Yixun had given up chasing Lu Yaoyi, she no longer had a reason to escort Lu Yaoyi home. So after school, she went out with the group of friends who were “condemning” her.

Why were her friends “condemning” her?

Because she had marked the campus goddess of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, the S-class Omega, Lu Yaoyi.

When the news that Lu Yaoyi was marked by Jiang Youli first spread, most people didn’t believe it because they were very clear about the relationship between Lu Yaoyi and Jiang Youli. Jiang Youli looked like an Alpha who would absolutely not mark Lu Yaoyi, and Lu Yaoyi also looked like an Omega who would absolutely not let Jiang Youli mark her.

However, now it was said that Jiang Youli was the one who marked Lu Yaoyi. Of course, they wouldn’t believe it.

But then a group of Jiang Youli’s friends chased her and asked how she marked Lu Yaoyi and why she marked Lu Yaoyi when she hated her so much. Jiang Youli’s answer was that it was an accidental mark and not worth mentioning.

It was because Jiang Youli admitted to marking Lu Yaoyi that they believed the story.

Now the whole school knew that Jiang Youli was the Alpha who marked Lu Yaoyi, and the relationship between Jiang Youli and Lu Yaoyi became ambiguous. But not many people cared, after all, a temporary mark didn’t mean anything.

Unless it was a lifelong mark. As long as Lu Yaoyi was not given a lifelong mark by an Alpha, then they, as Alphas, all had a chance.

The sun was hiding behind the western horizon, only showing half of its body and shining brightly. The afterglow of the sunset spread across the ground, paving the way home. Lu Yaoyi was riding her bicycle alone on the way home, facing the breeze. Her dark hair on her shoulders fluttered in the wind like seaweed, and her whole body was covered in a golden halo.

She was gentle and serene, so beautiful that it seemed like everything in the world had lost its color.

A moment later, Lu Yaoyi suddenly stopped her bicycle and looked back. The clean street was empty. The person she had hidden in her heart was no longer there.

For the past few days, she had gotten used to looking back and seeing Jiang Youli, who was chatting and laughing with Qiao Yixun, following behind her, especially Jiang Youli’s bright and charming smile. It would probably be very difficult to have Jiang Youli escort her home again.

Slowly, she sadly looked away and continued to ride her bicycle. However, the feeling of sadness was quickly replaced by happiness.

The breeze blew away the girl’s worries. At least what happened today made her especially happy. How great would it be if Jiang Youli was really her Alpha?

In the evening, Jiang Youli and her friends hung out outside until it was dark before she came home. At this time, Li Henian was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

Jiang Youli heard the sounds from the kitchen as she was changing her slippers at the entrance. She happily ran to the kitchen to greet Li Henian. “Little Dad, I’m home.”

“Dingding,” Li Henian said while cutting potatoes. “How was your time out today?”

“It was pretty good,” Jiang Youli said in a good mood.

“That’s good,” Li Henian said.

Jiang Youli poked her head into the kitchen and didn’t see Jiang Xiyuan. She remembered that Li Henian had said Jiang Xiyuan was home this afternoon, so she asked, “Little Dad, are you home alone? Where did Dad go?”

“He went out,” Li Henian replied. “He’ll be back soon.”

“Oh,” Jiang Youli said. “Then I’ll go upstairs and drop off my backpack first.” Just as she was about to leave, Li Henian stopped her. “Wait a moment, Dingding.”

Jiang Youli turned to look at Li Henian. “What is it, Little Dad?”

“It’s nothing, really,” Li Henian put down the knife, wiped his hands, and walked toward Jiang Youli. “It’s just that the perverted Alpha will probably be sentenced soon. I heard your dad say that he might not be sentenced to death, but he will be given a harsher punishment, a life sentence, and he’ll be in jail for the rest of his life.”

When Jiang Youli heard that, she was very disappointed. “He won’t be sentenced to death?” She had been praying for that perverted male Alpha to be sentenced to death.

“It’s not certain,” Li Henian said. “There’s also a high possibility that he’ll be sentenced to death.”

“Okay,” Jiang Youli said. “Anyway, as long as he gets punished.”

Li Henian stroked Jiang Youli’s fair and smooth cheek, then looked at her gently. “Go upstairs and drop off your backpack first. Come down for dinner later.”

Jiang Youli nodded. “Okay.”

Wednesday

At Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, the third period and self-study period on Wednesday afternoon were for school-wide cleaning and free time. The cleaning areas were on a weekly rotation, and everyone could go home after cleaning their designated area. Boarding students could also go out of the school for free time, but they had to be back in their classrooms for evening self-study.

Before the second period was over, Tan Yushan was already waiting in the hallway outside Class 1, Grade 1. This time, the monthly exam scores for Class 1, Grade 1 had dropped a lot. The class’s total score had dropped to fourth place in the entire grade. Even though Lu Yaoyi got first place in the entire grade, she couldn’t bring up the average score. As the homeroom teacher, he couldn’t accept this. So he came up with a way to improve the class’s grades.

A moment later, the bell rang, and the entire school building instantly became noisy and lively.

After the English teacher left the classroom, Tan Yushan walked in with the grade sheet. “Sit down first. I have something to say to you all.”

Everyone in the class sat down and looked at Tan Yushan. Tan Yushan walked up to the podium. “Before we start the school-wide cleaning, I’m going to reassign your seats. After you’ve changed seats, you can go clean.”

A commotion suddenly broke out under the podium. Most of the students were excited to change seats and sit with the people they wanted to. Chen Huaian saw Tan Yushan come in, so he poked Jiang Youli’s shoulder with his elbow. “Boss, wake up, Old Tan is here.”

Jiang Youli didn’t move. Chen Huaian poked her a few more times. “Boss, wake up.”

This time, Jiang Youli finally moved. She groggily lifted her head without opening her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Chen Huaian leaned in and whispered, “Boss, Old Tan is here.”

Old Tan?

Jiang Youli opened her sleepy eyes, rubbed them, and finally saw Tan Yushan standing on the podium. She then asked Chen Huaian, “What period is it now?”

“The second period is over,” Chen Huaian said.

When Jiang Youli heard that, she put her head back on the desk and closed her eyes. “Then I’ll sleep for a bit longer.”

“Okay,” Chen Huaian said softly. “Boss, I’ll wake you up later.”

Tan Yushan stood on the podium and talked about the monthly exam. He praised the students who had improved and criticized those whose grades had dropped significantly. He then praised Lu Yaoyi, who got first place, to the high heavens. Finally, he started to rearrange the seats according to his plan.

“Three years isn’t a long time. It’ll be over in a blink of an eye. Since your grades have dropped so much, it won’t work if you don’t supervise and help each other,” Tan Yushan said, looking at the students under the podium. “Next, I’m going to rearrange your seats. This time, the seats will be arranged according to your monthly exam scores.” He paused and continued, “The top ten students in the class, stand up first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the top ten students stood up.

Tan Yushan looked down at the monthly exam grade sheet, then looked up at the back row by the window. He saw the girl in the back row sleeping with her head on the desk. He put down the grade sheet and called out, “The last-place student in this monthly exam, stand up. Jiang Youli, that’s you.”

Jiang Youli vaguely heard Tan Yushan calling her. He also said something about her being in last place for this monthly exam.

Chen Huaian quickly pushed Jiang Youli. “Boss, wake up.”

Jiang Youli finally woke up. She slowly lifted her head, squinting her eyes. Her eyes were full of bloodshot veins from just waking up. Her blurry pupils gradually focused and became clear. She saw that the whole class was looking at her. Her gaze slowly fell on Tan Yushan, who was standing on the podium. She heard Tan Yushan suddenly say, “Jiang Youli, hurry up and stand up.”

Chen Huaian quickly pulled the half-asleep Jiang Youli up. Jiang Youli frowned in confusion. She slightly lowered her head and whispered to Chen Huaian beside her, “What’s going on? Do I have to stand in punishment for sleeping after class?”

“No, I don’t know why, either,” Chen Huaian said.

“Oh,” Jiang Youli said unhappily, pouting.

“Jiang Youli, you didn’t take the monthly exam, so your score is zero, and you’re in last place in the class and in the entire grade,” Tan Yushan said. “Since you’re in last place, you get to choose your new desk-mate first. The top ten students in the class are here. See which student you want to choose to be your desk-mate to supervise you and help you improve your grades.”

Jiang Youli was speechless. Could she refuse to choose a desk-mate? She didn’t want to choose anyone.

She looked at Tan Yushan reluctantly. “Teacher Tan, can I not choose? It’s perfectly fine for me to sit with Huaian. I don’t need a new desk-mate to supervise me and help me improve my grades. Huaian and I can supervise each other.”

“No, you and Chen Huaian just sleep every day. How can you supervise each other? Can Chen Huaian help you improve your grades?” Tan Yushan very seriously refused Jiang Youli’s request. “You must choose a student from the top ten to be your desk-mate to supervise you and help you improve your grades, or I will choose for you.”

Jiang Youli was completely speechless. She had never seen Tan Yushan insist on separating her and Chen Huaian before. Did Tan Yushan have nothing better to do this time?

“Jiang Youli,” Tan Yushan said. “If you can’t choose, I’ll choose for you.”

Jiang Youli quickly said, “I’ll choose my own desk-mate.”

She reluctantly scanned the top ten students who were standing up. If she had to choose one from the top ten to be her desk-mate, she really didn’t want to choose anyone.

Wait, her gaze suddenly landed on one person. She looked at Lu Yaoyi’s elegant and beautiful back. Then she thought for a moment and said, “Teacher Tan, if my new desk-mate doesn’t help me improve my grades, will my new desk-mate be punished?”

The whole class was in an uproar. What kind of overbearing request was Jiang Youli making?

Tan Yushan was speechless. If it could make the two of them supervise each other, it wasn’t a bad idea for them to be punished together if they didn’t meet the goal. So he said, “If your grades don’t improve in the next monthly exam, then you will both clean the classroom for a week. The same goes for everyone else. Improving your grades is your task for this seat change. If you don’t complete the task, the punishment is to clean the classroom for a week. The requirement isn’t high. Even if your grades only improve by a few points or a few ranks, as long as you make progress, you’ve completed the task. The deadline is the next monthly exam.”

When Jiang Youli heard that, she agreed very happily. “Okay.”

Her eyes sparkled, and a devious smile gradually formed on her lips. She then said, “Then I’ll choose Lu Yaoyi to be my new desk-mate.” She decided to drag Lu Yaoyi down and make her clean the classroom for a week.

The whole class was shocked. The news that Jiang Youli marked Lu Yaoyi had just spread throughout the school yesterday. Now Jiang Youli was choosing Lu Yaoyi… Was this the start of a public romance?

Lu Yaoyi’s expression didn’t change.

Tan Yushan looked at Jiang Youli. “Jiang Youli, are you sure you want to choose Lu Yaoyi to be your desk-mate? Once you choose, you can’t change. You still have a chance to change now.”

“No, I’ll choose Lu Yaoyi. I promise I’ll study hard with student Lu Yaoyi,” Jiang Youli said, suddenly slapping her desk. “But Teacher Tan, my only request is that Lu Yaoyi must move to my seat.”

Tan Yushan agreed. “Okay.” He then looked at the indifferent Lu Yaoyi. “Lu Yaoyi, move to Jiang Youli’s side after class. It’s going to be a tough time for you to supervise Jiang Youli’s studies. As long as her score isn’t zero and she’s not in last place in the next monthly exam, it’s fine.”

Lu Yaoyi nodded and didn’t say anything.

When Jiang Youli heard that, her eyes crinkled, and her smile deepened. Not in last place?

That’s impossible. She had to be in last place, absolutely last place.

Tan Yushan looked at Jiang Youli. “Jiang Youli, you can sit down now.”

“Next, Chen Huaian, the second to last place, stand up.”

After Tan Yushan finished rearranging the seats, he left the classroom. The whole class started to change seats.

Jiang Youli leaned sideways on her chair with her right arm on the back of the chair. She then leisurely crossed her legs, waiting for Lu Yaoyi to come. She was already thinking about how to torment that annoying girl Lu Yaoyi for the next month.

“Boss,” Chen Huaian said. He dragged his desk, grumbling unhappily. “You abandoned me.”

“It’s okay,” Jiang Youli said. “We’ll switch back next month.”

The whole class was a mess, changing seats. A moment later, Lu Yaoyi moved and sat next to Jiang Youli.

Jiang Youli looked at Lu Yaoyi teasingly. “Hello, desk-mate Lu.”

Lu Yaoyi sat up straight and didn’t pay attention to Jiang Youli.

“Teacher Tan wants you to supervise me and help me improve my grades,” Jiang Youli said with a meaningful smile. “I’ll be troubling you for the next month, student Lu.”

Lu Yaoyi still didn’t respond. She knew that Jiang Youli was definitely plotting some way to trick her. She would probably intentionally get last place in the exam to make her clean the classroom.

When Jiang Youli saw that Lu Yaoyi wasn’t paying attention to her, she reached out and tapped her desk. She then leaned closer to Lu Yaoyi and whispered, “Lu Yaoyi, I’ve always had a question that I forgot to ask you. You told me that on the day I differentiated, you used an Alpha-specific pheromone inhibitor to get rid of the danger.” She paused, then squinted and stared at Lu Yaoyi. “Why would an Omega like you carry an Alpha-specific pheromone inhibitor?”

Lu Yaoyi was silent. Jiang Youli smelled the sweet scent coming from Lu Yaoyi and found that her body had no reaction, so she leaned a little closer. “Lu Yaoyi, the reason you carry an Alpha-specific pheromone inhibitor with you is probably because you…”

She curled her lips. This was the time to make that annoying girl Lu Yaoyi embarrassed. So she intentionally lowered her voice and laughed ambiguously. “Lu Yaoyi, you don’t carry an Alpha-specific pheromone inhibitor to seduce Alphas, do you?”

She knew what kind of person Lu Yaoyi was. She was saying this to intentionally tease her and make her feel awkward.

Lu Yaoyi was speechless. She turned to look at Jiang Youli and didn’t say anything.

Jiang Youli laughed even more crazily. “Did I hit the nail on the head?”

Lu Yaoyi looked at Jiang Youli’s eyes and said slowly, “Jiang Youli, don’t worry. I wouldn’t seduce any Alpha, especially not an Alpha like you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze quickly glanced down at Jiang Youli’s lower body. “After all… you’re very disappointing.”

Jiang Youli was speechless.

Where was Lu Yaoyi looking just now? Very disappointing? What did Lu Yaoyi mean? Was she very disappointed with her size?!

“So don’t worry,” Lu Yaoyi said. “I won’t be seducing you.”

She then calmly looked away, opened her book, and started reading.

Jiang Youli immediately felt a strong sense of mockery and insult. She was about to explode. Lu Yaoyi was actually very disappointed with her size? She suddenly felt that it was absolutely necessary to let this arrogant Omega know what the consequences were for underestimating her Alpha’s size. So she suppressed her anger and picked up her pen to write on a piece of paper.

This was unbearable.

Very disappointing? She remembered Lu Yaoyi also mocked her size last time. That’s so mean.

Her size was clearly very big… She was so enraged by this annoying girl Lu Yaoyi.

Whatever. She had to let Lu Yaoyi know what the consequences were for looking down on her size!

After writing, she gritted her teeth, tore the page out, crumpled it into a ball, and slammed it on Lu Yaoyi’s desk. “Lu Yaoyi, you can use this coupon to come find me anytime. I promise I won’t disappoint you.”

She then angrily got up and left the classroom.

Lu Yaoyi’s gaze fell on the slightly crumpled paper ball on her desk. After Jiang Youli left, she reached out and picked up the crumpled paper ball. When she opened it, she saw the three big words “Try It Coupon” written on it. She then slowly scanned the rest of the text.

It clearly stated, “You’ll only know if you’re disappointed if you try it yourself. Lu Yaoyi can use this Try It Coupon to find Jiang Youli at any time to get one chance to have sex with Jiang Youli.”

At the bottom, it was signed, “Jiang Youli welcomes Lu Yaoyi to use the Try It Coupon to try it out at any time.”

Lu Yaoyi couldn’t help but laugh at the paper. Try It Coupon? How did Jiang Youli even think of that?

Slowly, her cheeks suddenly felt hot, as if they were on fire. Was Jiang Youli so stimulated by her words that she really wanted to “try” with her?

She curled her lips, carefully folded the paper, and put it in her pocket. She thought… she would use this Try It Coupon one day. She also wanted to use the Try It Coupon. She only hoped that Jiang Youli wouldn’t chicken out when that day came.
