After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 14
This is a huge misunderstanding!
Qiao Yu really wanted to raise all ten of her toes and swear that she had no ulterior motives whatsoever toward Song Wanying. As the saying goes, you don’t mess with a friend’s wife. No matter how perverted Qiao Yu was, she would never steal a woman from her best friend!
Jiang Mei looked even more like she didn’t want to deal with her now. Qiao Yu was heartbroken and could barely breathe.
How did she not think of this? The female lead was possessive, and in the original novel, she didn’t even allow Song Wanying to flirt with other women. Of course, she’d be upset after hearing Song Wanying defend her. Qiao Yu thought back to the original story. Song Wanying had to interact with a lot of people for her job, which made Jiang Mei increasingly jealous. One time, she was so angry that she made sure Song Wanying couldn’t get out of bed, and Song Wanying had to take three days off to appease her.
Qiao Yu’s face flushed. “Oh, my God! Is that even allowed to be published?!”
The system couldn’t help but roll its eyes. “What kind of book do you think you’re in?”
Now it was Qiao Yu’s turn to be confused. “???”
Could it be…
Qiao Yu’s face was filled with disbelief. “Could this be an R-rated novel?”
“What did you think?” The system was starting to wonder if Qiao Yu had even paid attention when it first introduced itself. Could a pure, positive system like itself really side with the lewd and violent?
Qiao Yu’s worldview was shaken to its core. She glanced at Jiang Mei nervously. Who would’ve thought? She looked so harmless on the outside, but she was so aggressive and domineering in private.
Qiao Yu rested her chin in her hand and said seriously, “I suddenly feel…”
The system perked up its little ears and heard Qiao Yu say with a hint of excitement, “I think I’m starting to like Jiang Mei a little.”
It thought its ears were malfunctioning, so it listened again. This time, it heard Qiao Yu’s happy voice. “Where else would I find a beautiful and loyal Alpha like the female lead? When you find someone like that, you have to cherish them. We shouldn’t waste good resources, right?”
The system still didn’t believe it, so it listened again. “Just thinking about her domineeringly pinning me against a wall, and me struggling to get away, only to be held even tighter… She’s looking at me with a look that’s both full of pity and a desire to destroy me. I just…”
The system couldn’t listen anymore and quickly stopped her. “Cut!”
Qiao Yu blinked, confused. The system almost knelt down. “Please, I beg you, stop with the dramatics.”
Qiao Yu immediately lost interest. She licked her lips, making them look glossy and even more inviting. Meng E let out a surprised “Ooh” and instinctively looked back at Jiang Mei before lowering her voice and saying to Qiao Yu, “Yu Yu, if you don’t know how to win Jiang Mei over, just use your looks.”
She was sure no Alpha could resist a beautiful woman like Qiao Yu, who was so fair and soft to the touch.
Qiao Yu agreed and was about to do just that when the system’s voice interrupted her. “Don’t you want to go back?”
Qiao Yu froze, a little hesitant. The system quickly struck while the iron was hot and threatened her again. “Or do you want the female lead to fall for you and have the whole world collapse?”
The system let out a blank “Wow.” “If that happens, you and the female lead can die together. What a tragic love story. If you wrote a book about it, you might even get a consolation prize from the Nobel Prize in Literature.”
Qiao Yu quickly covered her ears. “I get it, I get it!”
After being forced to give up her ideas, Qiao Yu became listless. Meng E asked her if she was feeling unwell. Qiao Yu’s eyelids drooped. “I have no joy left in my life.”
Meng E didn’t believe her. “Isn’t Sister Song your joy? Isn’t Sister Lu your joy?”
The moment Qiao Yu heard Song Wanying’s name, she was on edge. She was afraid that Jiang Mei would think she was trying to steal her woman and resent her even more. She quickly made a “shhh” gesture and slumped in her chair. “Don’t mention Sister Song in front of me again.”
Meng E was curious. “Why? Are you afraid of Sister Song’s fans attacking you?”
Qiao Yu had forgotten about the fans not liking her, but Meng E’s comment brought it all back. She felt even worse. She was starting to question her life. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. Where did it all go wrong?
Meng E thought Qiao Yu looked like a wilted eggplant, so she tried to comfort her. “Yu Yu, don’t think too much about it. Our exams are coming up soon, so you should focus on studying. You’re the pride of our class, so you can’t slip from first place.”
Qiao Yu stared at Meng E with a blank expression. Are you kidding me? With my IQ, how could I not get first place?
Meng E explained, “I’m just worried that being in your differentiation period will make you too weak and affect your performance.”
Only then did Qiao Yu relent. “Even if I’m in my differentiation period, first place will still be mine.”
Qiao Yu kept talking about Sister Song as if no one else mattered to her. Jiang Mei tightened her grip on her pen, trying to control the jealousy that was bubbling up inside her. Is Song Wanying that great? Is she so captivating that Qiao Yu can’t think of anything else?
Meng E seemed to sense something and turned away, a look of terror in her eyes. Jiang Mei slowly reined in her pheromones and calmly looked at her. Meng E shivered. It’s too scary. The pheromones of a top-tier Alpha are just too terrifying.
I should never mess with Jiang Mei, or I’ll end up dead without even knowing how.
The class was in a slight commotion because of Jiang Mei’s pheromones, but Qiao Yu was still so consumed by her own sadness of being chased by Song Wanying’s fans and Lu Shangyi’s parents that she didn’t notice.
Meng E couldn’t help but feel envious of how Qiao Yu was completely unaffected.
Evening study always passed quickly. Qiao Yu slung her bag over her shoulder and didn’t even get to say two words to Jiang Mei before she left through the back door. Qiao Yu fell into thought. “It looks like I need to hurry and help the female lead get with Sister Song.”
“Once she and Sister Song are madly in love, she won’t have time to worry about me anymore.”
Qiao Yu felt her plan was flawless. Her mood immediately brightened, and her steps became much lighter. The driver was already waiting at the school gate. Qiao Yu opened the car door. “I wonder if Sister Lu missed me.”
She had missed Lu Shangyi so much she couldn’t even focus in class.
She eagerly put her hands over her eyes and then opened them, seeing the lights on in her house. Lu Shangyi’s tall figure stood quietly in front of the window, looking over when she heard the car’s engine. Qiao Yu sprinted inside. “Sister Lu, you’re awake?”
Lu Shangyi turned her head. Qiao Yu happily ran up to her. “How did you sleep? Are you still feeling unwell? Let me get you another glass of water.”
Without giving Lu Shangyi a chance to refuse, Qiao Yu obediently handed her a glass of hot water. Lu Shangyi lowered her eyelashes and took the water from her, placing it on a nearby table. “What’s your relationship with Song Wanying?”
She asked nonchalantly, as if she didn’t care. But Qiao Yu’s eyes lit up. She immediately said to the system, “She’s definitely jealous!”
Qiao Yu explained, “She’s just a sister I know.”
“A sister?” Lu Shangyi looked down at her, her beautiful eyes unreadable. “Just a sister?”
Lu Shangyi was partially hidden in the shadows, which made her look different from her usual fragile self. Qiao Yu stared at her for a moment and suddenly realized that Lu Shangyi had a calm and collected presence about her, so profound that it was impossible to guess what she was thinking.
“If she’s just a sister you know, would she defend you like that?”
Qiao Yu stared at her blankly. When Lu Shangyi squinted her dark, long eyes, she looked like a leopard—dangerous and charming. Lu Shangyi was dressed simply, which contrasted with her profound presence, making her even more captivating.
Qiao Yu wanted to pounce on her and tear away her facade of coldness.
She didn’t answer for a while. Lu Shangyi’s brow furrowed in displeasure. Qiao Yu suddenly came to her senses. “Maybe it’s because…” Qiao Yu was at a loss for words until the system showed her a line. “Maybe it’s because I’m a friend of her fans?”
“That’s it.” Qiao Yu emphasized. “Two of my good friends are her fans. She must have helped me because of her fans.”
Although she sounded sincere, Lu Shangyi didn’t believe a word of it. “Stay away from Song Wanying from now on.”
Qiao Yu was ecstatic. “Sister Lu is definitely jealous!”
There was a light in Qiao Yu’s eyes. “She likes me!”
The system was confused. What?
Lu Shangyi saw her defiant look. Her tall figure enveloped her with a sense of oppression. She suddenly pinned Qiao Yu against the window, her voice filled with a dangerous tone. “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll…”
