After Differentiation, I Marked My Arch-nemesis - Chapter 46

For several years, from middle school to high school, Jiang Youli had always sat at the last desk by the window with Chen Huaian.

Now, forced by Lu Yaoyi’s “tyranny” and unwilling to abandon Chen Huaian, she and Chen Huaian moved to the desk in front of Lu Yaoyi.

Jin Rubing also moved back to her spot next to Lu Yaoyi, becoming her desk-mate again.

After the seating arrangements were finalized,

Jiang Youli turned around to face Lu Yaoyi, who was sitting behind her. She rested her arm on the back of her chair, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Lu Yaoyi, I’ll remember this.”

Hearing this, a faint smile quietly spread in Lu Yaoyi’s eyes.

She moved her lips and asked softly, “Would you ever forget me?”

Jiang Youli: “…”

She was going to die from anger. She had noticed that ever since Lucky came into their lives, Lu Yaoyi had become more and more demanding. The worst part was that she couldn’t do anything about it.

This was infuriating…

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of class.

Jiang Youli scoffed. “I can’t be bothered with you.”

With that, she turned back, packed her bag, and left with Chen Huaian.

Lu Yaoyi watched Jiang Youli’s decisive back. She noticed that Jiang Youli wasn’t as fierce with her as before and seemed to be a little more lenient. However, she still couldn’t figure out what Jiang Youli was thinking.

She looked away, lowered her head slightly, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

This was a good sign for her.

That night.

Lu Yaoyi sat alone in the living room watching TV, holding a clean and sweet-smelling Lucky, who had just had a bath. Guan Luyu had gone abroad to handle some business last week, leaving her and Lu Meishan at home. She suddenly took out her phone and checked the time. It was almost 8 p.m., and Lu Meishan still wasn’t home.

Lu Meishan usually got home around 6:30 p.m.

She thought for a moment and couldn’t help but call Lu Meishan.

The moment the number was dialed, she heard the front door open.

The next second, her phone’s ringtone sounded.

Lu Yaoyi quickly hung up, put Lucky down, and got up to walk toward the front door.

Lucky hopped along on her short legs, following behind.

“Sweetheart.”

Lu Meishan’s voice came. “Why did you call me?”

Lu Yaoyi walked to the front door and saw Lu Meishan changing into her slippers. Lu Meishan looked very tired. Lu Yaoyi walked up to her and took her bag. “Mom, why are you coming home so late tonight?”

“I was held up at the company handling some things,” Lu Meishan said, looking at Lu Yaoyi after changing her slippers. “Sweetheart, I need to tell you something important.”

Lu Yaoyi: “What is it?”

Lu Meishan took a step forward and led Lu Yaoyi toward the living room. “Something happened at the company in the capital, and it’s a bit complicated. I have to fly there early tomorrow morning, and I might be gone for more than half a month. Your mom isn’t home either, so you’ll be all alone.”

Lu Yaoyi walked beside Lu Meishan and said softly, “Mom, don’t worry about me. You can just focus on your business in the capital. I’ll take care of myself at home.”

“Sweetheart, I know you can take care of yourself, but I’m still worried about you being alone at home,” Lu Meishan said, leading Lu Yaoyi to the sofa and sitting down. “So I wanted to ask if you could stay at Dingding’s house while I’m in the capital? Then I would feel relieved.”

Lu Yaoyi’s heart fluttered.

Stay at Jiang Youli’s house?

“Sweetheart,” Lu Meishan looked at Lu Yaoyi and continued, “What do you think?”

How could Lu Yaoyi refuse to stay at Jiang Youli’s house? She would love to live under the same roof as Jiang Youli. That way, she and Jiang Youli could see each other every day. So, she agreed to Lu Meishan’s request without hesitation.

“Of course.”

Lu Meishan nodded in relief. “Then I’ll call Uncle Li later and ask him. I’m sure he’ll agree to you staying at his place.”

Lu Yaoyi slightly curled her lips.

What a coincidence. She and Lu Meishan had the same idea.

Li Henian would definitely agree.

There was no doubt about that…

Wait.

She suddenly remembered something very important. If Jiang Youli came to her house to stay with her, wouldn’t it be just her and Jiang Youli?

Just then, something was tugging at her slipper.

She looked down.

She saw Lucky on the floor, angrily chewing on her slipper.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Lu Meishan’s sleeve.

“Mom.”

Lu Meishan’s gaze was as gentle as water. “Mhm?”

Lu Yaoyi: “How about we have Dingding come and stay with me instead?”

Lu Meishan: “Why?”

Lu Yaoyi bent down, picked up Lucky, who was chewing on her slipper, and stroked Lucky’s fluffy little head. “Uncle Li is allergic to dog fur, so I can’t take Lucky to his house. But Lucky is still so small, and I don’t feel comfortable leaving her home alone. So, how about Dingding comes and stays with me instead?”

“Woof, woof, woof—”

Lucky suddenly snarled and barked a few times.

She seemed very happy.

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyi looked down at Lucky’s dark eyes.

She then curled her lips. “Lucky thinks so, too.”

Lu Meishan reached out and stroked Lucky’s head. “Okay, then. I’ll call Uncle Li later and ask him to get Dingding’s opinion.”

Lu Yaoyi nodded. “Mhm.”

She thought Jiang Youli would find it hard to refuse Lu Meishan and Lucky’s request.

Then…

She thought that her alone time with Jiang Youli wasn’t far away.

“It’s settled then,” Lu Meishan said, tucking a stray strand of Lu Yaoyi’s hair behind her ear. “Sweetheart, you must be hungry after waiting for so long, right? I’ll go to the kitchen and make dinner now.”

“Mom, you look very tired today. How about I go to the kitchen?” Lu Yaoyi said, handing Lucky to Lu Meishan. “You just sit on the sofa, rest, and play with Lucky. I’ll go to the kitchen and make some pasta. Can we have spaghetti with meat sauce tonight?”

Lu Meishan gently stroked Lu Yaoyi’s cheek. “Okay.”

Lu Yaoyi turned and went to the kitchen.

Lu Meishan leaned over and took her bag from the coffee table. She sat with her legs crossed and held Lucky in her arms, then took out her phone and called Li Henian.

The night was covered by a starry sky.

After dinner, Jiang Youli went to the entertainment room upstairs to play PUBG. She was in a four-person squad with Chen Huaian and a few others. Just as she was getting into the game, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She subconsciously looked up.

She saw Li Henian standing next to her, looking at her.

She took off her headphones and asked Li Henian, “Little Dad, what’s up?”

Hearing this, Li Henian shook the phone in his hand.

“Your Aunt Lu needs your help with something.”

Jiang Youli’s eyes landed on Li Henian’s phone. She pressed the voice chat button to tell her teammates she was taking a call, then took the phone from Li Henian.

She put the phone to her ear. “Hello, Aunt Lu? You were looking for me?”

Lu Meishan: “Dingding, I need to ask you for a favor.”

Jiang Youli: “What is it, Aunt Lu?”

“I have to go to the capital tomorrow to handle some things, and I probably won’t be back for more than half a month,” Lu Meishan said. “Your Aunt Guan is also abroad, so Yaoyao will be home alone. I’m worried about her being alone, so I wanted to ask you if you could come and stay with her?”

Jiang Youli: “…”

Stay with Lu Yaoyi? Why didn’t Lu Yaoyi come to her house?

She said, “Aunt Lu, you can have Lu Yaoyi stay at my house.”

Lu Meishan’s gentle voice came from the phone. “Yaoyao said she’s worried about leaving Lucky alone at home since Lucky is so small. I’m also worried about Yaoyao being home alone. Dingding, would you be willing to come and stay at my house with Yaoyao?”

Jiang Youli: “…”

If she went to stay with Lu Yaoyi, wouldn’t that mean it would just be the two of them? It seemed a little inappropriate for an Alpha and an Omega to be alone together…

But, this was a request she couldn’t refuse.

Lu Meishan was always so good to her. She really didn’t have the heart to refuse her request. Plus, she couldn’t stand the thought of leaving Lucky home alone. Even if she and Lu Yaoyi were alone, as long as they didn’t do anything, it would be fine.

Her and Lu Yaoyi doing something?

That was absolutely impossible.

So she agreed. “Aunt Lu, I’ll do it.”

She could clearly hear Lu Meishan’s gentle laughter from the phone.

“Thank you, Dingding. I’ll make sure to treat you well when I get back.”

“You’re welcome, Aunt Lu,” Jiang Youli said. “It’s what I should do.”

Lu Meishan: “Thank you, Dingding.”

Jiang Youli chatted with Lu Meishan for a bit before hanging up. As she was about to hand the phone back to Li Henian, she saw him looking at her with a smile.

“…”

She returned the phone to Li Henian with a complicated expression.

Li Henian took the phone. “Dingding, I’m very relieved that you’re going to be with Yaoyao.”

Jiang Youli: “…”

She knew Li Henian was probably hoping she would go and stay with Lu Yaoyi.

She sighed and put on her headphones without a word. Her eyes slowly fell on the game screen on her computer. She was going to Lu Yaoyi’s house to stay with her tomorrow?

This was…

The next day.

Lu Meishan had to catch a morning flight to the capital, so she woke up early and made breakfast for her and Lu Yaoyi. After they finished breakfast, they left the house together. As they were walking out of the gate, they ran into Jiang Youli, who was riding her bicycle.

Jiang Youli greeted them politely. “Good morning, Aunt Lu.”

Lu Meishan smiled gently. “Good morning, Dingding.”

She then took Lu Yaoyi’s hand, walked over to Jiang Youli, and said to her, “Dingding, I’m leaving Yaoyao in your care while I’m away.”

Jiang Youli looked at Lu Yaoyi uncomfortably.

She met Lu Yaoyi’s gaze.

“…”

She quickly looked away and nodded at Lu Meishan. “Mhm, Aunt Lu, you can go to the capital without worrying. I’ll take good care of Lu Yaoyi.”

Lu Meishan: “That’s all I needed to hear to feel at ease.”

Jiang Youli smiled and didn’t say anything.

Lu Meishan: “Now you two better hurry to school so you’re not late.”

The two of them rode their bicycles together on their way to Jiangcheng High School.

The gentle autumn breeze, which was neither cold nor hot, blew against Lu Yaoyi’s face, and her hair fluttered in the wind. She called out from behind Jiang Youli, “Jiang Youli.”

Jiang Youli didn’t turn her head. “What?”

Lu Yaoyi stared at Jiang Youli’s back, and a beautiful crescent-shaped smile slowly blossomed on her lips. “Your bed was made last night.”

Jiang Youli: “…”

Lu Yaoyi: “Your room is right next to mine.”

Jiang Youli: “…”

Lu Yaoyi: “Don’t go into the wrong room tonight.”

Jiang Youli: “???”

She instinctively retorted, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely not go into your room.”

Lu Yaoyi: “What are you thinking, Jiang Youli?”

Jiang Youli: “What do you mean, ‘what am I thinking’?”

“I didn’t mean that you would go into my room,” Lu Yaoyi said, a smile lingering in her eyes. Her voice was calm, with no hint of a flaw. “Do you want to go to my room that badly? What do you… want to do to me?”

Jiang Youli was speechless.

What did she want to do?

She felt that she really shouldn’t be so lenient with that narcissistic freak Lu Yaoyi anymore.

So she said angrily, “I’m going to fuck you, what else?”

With that, she sped up and rode ahead.

She wanted to get away from that narcissistic freak Lu Yaoyi.

Lu Yaoyi looked at Jiang Youli’s retreating back, and her face turned crimson.

Jiang Youli just said…

Fuck her?
