After Teasing the aloof Arch-Nemesis Omega - Chapter 10

The weekend passed very quickly. For those two days, Yu Yunlan never returned to the dormitory, so naturally, she did not know whether Fang Zhijin had gone back either.

School had already started several days ago, but she did not have anyone she was close to there. She had barely even interacted with anyone.

On Monday morning, Yu Yunlan had class. She returned to school, planning to first put the remaining dose of G13 back in the dormitory.

She had intended to avoid a certain someone, but she had not expected such a coincidence. The moment she opened the door, she saw the person she wanted to avoid in the shared living room.

In the living room, Fang Zhijin was leaning against the soft sofa, her legs stretched slightly forward. She was turned sideways, listening to the person beside her speak. This posture highlighted her beautiful waistline, and the black boots made her legs look straight and slender.

Beside her were her other two roommates.

After spending these past few days together, they had clearly become somewhat more familiar with Fang Zhijin. Even the way they addressed her had become more intimate.

The lively Yuan Qiaoqiao was saying something to Fang Zhijin, cheerful like a chirping little bird, while the other steady roommate, Jiang Wan, listened from the side.

When she heard movement at the door, Yuan Qiaoqiao looked over. Seeing that Yu Yunlan had returned, she greeted her very warmly.

“Wow, Yu Yunlan, you’re back.” She said, “Zhijin just said you haven’t stayed in the dorm these past two days. Were you staying outside?”

Yuan Qiaoqiao had a lively personality, but to some extent, that also meant she was a little careless and spoke very directly.

Yu Yunlan’s footsteps paused. Her first reaction was to look at a certain Alpha on the sofa, but halfway through shifting her gaze, she forcibly stopped herself, withdrew it, and said, “Yes.”

Just one simple word. She did not seem to have any intention of continuing.

Yuan Qiaoqiao was not familiar with this roommate who looked very cold. They had not even added each other’s contact information. They had been roommates for several days, yet the number of times they had spoken did not even exceed five.

However, Yuan Qiaoqiao had one trait: she was naturally familiar with people. She shared the good news she had just received not long ago. “Then you definitely don’t know. Zhijin became the grade chief. Super amazing, super amazing.”

Elite Academy’s study period lasted four years. Each year level would have a grade chief responsible for managing the entire year level. It could be said to be a very good opportunity to accumulate connections and reputation, but the requirements for this position were very high. Only extremely outstanding people could be selected.

It was actually within expectations that Fang Zhijin would become the grade chief of this year’s freshmen.

Yu Yunlan only said faintly, “Congratulations.”

She did not seem to plan to keep chatting. After saying that, she returned to her bedroom. After putting her things down, she nodded to the others again, still avoiding eye contact with Fang Zhijin, and left.

Yuan Qiaoqiao blinked and said, “Is she going to class? But there’s still some time before class starts. I was planning to ask if we should go together.”

However, she quickly stopped dwelling on it and continued talking to Fang Zhijin. “Right, Zhijin, when does the election for this year’s deputy grade chief start?”

Fang Zhijin withdrew her gaze from the door without showing anything. The corners of her lips curved into a smile as she said, “Probably next week. They’ll collect application forms over the next few days.”

And, if she remembered correctly, in the dream, Yu Yunlan would also sign up.

Yuan Qiaoqiao let out a long “Oh~.” She and Jiang Wan were not very interested in the position of deputy grade chief and had not signed up this time, so naturally, she did not know much about it.

Jiang Wan, on the other hand, pushed up her glasses. This was a habit she had when thinking. After analyzing it for a moment, she said, “The competition for deputy grade chief should be very intense this time.”

Generally speaking, the competition for grade chief should be about the same level of intensity as the deputy position. But this year, there was Fang Zhijin.

Many people were unwilling to compete with Fang Zhijin. After all, they knew that no matter what aspect they compared, they could not beat her. In that case, it would be better to try for something else.

So this year’s grade chief election had actually ended very peacefully.

But that also meant that the difficulty of competing for deputy grade chief would be much higher than usual.

Class was about to start, so they did not discuss this topic for too long.

This class happened to be a large public lecture, so the three of them went to class together. This was also why the two roommates had been chatting with Fang Zhijin in the living room this time.

Since school had only just started, Elite Academy’s course schedule was not arranged too tightly. They were basically all theory classes. It would probably be a few more days before pheromone practical training began.

The class content was somewhat dull. Yuan Qiaoqiao sat beside Fang Zhijin, and as she listened, her mind began to wander.

Suddenly, she thought of something. Her eyes lit up, and she whispered to Fang Zhijin beside her, “Zhijin, should we go celebrate for you tonight?”

Fang Zhijin smiled beautifully. “Sure. Thank you.”

“With our relationship, do you really need to be so polite? Then… should we invite Yu Yunlan?” Yuan Qiaoqiao was somewhat uncertain.

She had actually heard the rumors that these two roommates of hers might not have a very good relationship. Although she felt those rumors were somewhat exaggerated, she still decided to ask Fang Zhijin’s opinion.

Fang Zhijin’s expression looked as usual as she said, “You can ask. After all, we’re all in the same dormitory.”

Yuan Qiaoqiao immediately took the initiative. “Then I’ll ask her after class.”

After finishing this topic, she did not continue disturbing Fang Zhijin’s class. After all, Fang Zhijin was a top student, so she would definitely listen seriously.

She had no idea that Fang Zhijin was actually distracted as well. Avoiding Yuan Qiaoqiao’s gaze, in a blind spot from view, Fang Zhijin tapped open her communicator.

The screen of the communicator could be adjusted freely. She set it to the smallest mode, and the Alpha’s outstanding five senses were completely enough for her to see the content on it clearly.

She was looking at Elite Academy’s forum.

On the forum, beneath the previous post discussing the incident on the first day of school, her own name had already appeared.

Fang Zhijin casually looked for a while, then turned off the communicator. A certain light flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

…

After class, Yuan Qiaoqiao ran over to find Yu Yunlan.

Yu Yunlan liked choosing seats in corners with fewer people, so she was somewhat far from them.

That cold and distant figure sat in the corner, easily attracting people’s gazes. Yu Yunlan’s features were exceptional, and she wore no makeup. In fact, they rarely ever saw Yu Yunlan wearing makeup.

That face seemed deeply favored by the heavens. Even without makeup, her skin was still very good. Looking from the side, one could see her straight nose bridge and long, thick lashes trembling slightly with her breathing.

Her entire aura was extremely otherworldly, like morning mist, giving off a cool and distant feeling.

If no one said it, it would be very hard to tell that such a person came from Domain D.

Yuan Qiaoqiao walked over and sat beside her with one seat between them, greeting her.

“Hi~ Yu Yunlan.”

Yu Yunlan had not expected her roommate to suddenly come over and greet her. She felt slightly puzzled, but did not show it.

“Zhijin was chosen as grade chief. How about we go celebrate together?” Yuan Qiaoqiao said. “Our dorm doesn’t seem to have gone out to eat together yet.”

Yu Yunlan barely hesitated before saying, “Sorry, I might have something to do at that time.”

Yuan Qiaoqiao froze for a moment, somewhat confused. “But I haven’t even said what time yet.”

Yu Yunlan pressed her lips together. “…”

Yuan Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment before saying, “Do you not want to go out with us?”

“No.”

Yuan Qiaoqiao asked, “Then is there someone you dislike, so you don’t want to come with us?”

Yu Yunlan paused before saying, “No.”

She was telling the truth. Although that Alpha was always wickedly approaching her in private, was hypocritical, and had no sense of boundaries…

It seemed that she actually… did not feel much dislike toward her. Even Yu Yunlan herself found this surprising.

She did not want to go to dinner simply because she did not want to get too close to that Alpha. Whenever she faced Fang Zhijin, she always became somewhat strange.

And also…

Thinking of the file she had seen, Yu Yunlan pressed her lips together. Her feelings were very complicated.

Being marked by an Alpha… Before this, she had never considered such a thing at all.

She could not help raising her head and looking in a certain direction in the classroom.

Over there, Fang Zhijin was talking to an Omega in the front row, her smile gentle.

Yu Yunlan’s expression instantly returned to calm.

Yuan Qiaoqiao was still continuing, “Since it’s neither of those, then come have fun with us.”

She was too enthusiastic. Seeing that some people in class were already looking over, and that Fang Zhijin’s gaze happened to sweep over this place too, with tiny fragments of a smile still in her eyes, beautiful beyond reason—

By the time Yu Yunlan reacted, she had somehow muddleheadedly agreed to Yuan Qiaoqiao’s words.

“Wow, you agreed! Then we’ll meet tonight?” Yuan Qiaoqiao said happily.

“…Mm.” Yu Yunlan felt somewhat annoyed with herself.

The break time happened to end, and class started. Before the teacher came in, Yuan Qiaoqiao returned to Fang Zhijin’s side and said, “Yu Yunlan agreed.”

She quietly passed along the news she had just received. “And I asked Yu Yunlan just now. She said she doesn’t dislike anyone.”

Fang Zhijin smiled and gave an “Mm,” the look in her eyes unclear.

That evening, they went to eat together.

They chose a highly rated restaurant in Domain A, located near Elite Academy. The interior leaned toward a forest style, mainly light green, with soothing music playing inside. The moment one walked in, one’s mood seemed to improve a lot.

Several servers were welcoming guests at the entrance. After Fang Zhijin gave her name, someone immediately bent slightly at the waist and led them to a very large private room.

Fang Zhijin casually placed her bag on a chair. Halfway through, something seemed to come up, so she went out for a bit. When she returned to the private room, she did not pay much attention to the people at the table and went to the restroom to wash her hands.

But she had not expected Yu Yunlan to be inside too.

The other girl had her back to Fang Zhijin, her long hair falling behind her shoulders. Her face appeared in the mirror. Under the cold white light, her skin was like jade, making her look clean and untouched by dust.

After hearing someone come in, she raised her head. Through the mirror, that face as cold as ice and snow appeared, unexpectedly meeting Fang Zhijin’s gaze.

Then Fang Zhijin saw the other girl’s brows furrow lightly before she shifted her gaze away.

Still looking as though she disliked her.

The corners of Fang Zhijin’s lips curved for an instant. She walked over slowly and unhurriedly, turned on the faucet, and let the water rinse over her fingers.

The atmosphere around them was quiet. Only the sound of water echoed.

She had thought this atmosphere would continue, but Fang Zhijin suddenly heard a voice beside her.

“I’ll keep the racing matter secret for you,” Yu Yunlan’s voice was clear and cold. “I know you don’t want others to know.”

That night, she had left in a hurry. Although she believed she did not want to have too much contact with Fang Zhijin, she still wanted to use this opportunity to explain, so the other girl could feel at ease.

Opposite her, Fang Zhijin’s fingertips paused for an instant beneath the running water. She had not expected Yu Yunlan to suddenly mention this matter. The smile on her usually gentle face deepened. “Is that so?”

She seemed to be in a very good mood, her eyes curving. Yet this smile did not seem gentle. Instead, it carried a teasing kind of scrutiny. That face seemed to possess some kind of radiance of its own, making people unable to stop their gazes from focusing on it.

From outside, Yuan Qiaoqiao’s chatting voice could still faintly be heard. In the restroom, Fang Zhijin walked toward Yu Yunlan step by step, leaning her body in her direction.

Yu Yunlan’s fingertips curled unnaturally with her approach.

The restroom lights shone on this cold beauty, unexpectedly giving her a strangely obedient feeling.

Fang Zhijin slowly raised her hand and reached toward her. Then, as Yu Yunlan’s body grew increasingly tense, Fang Zhijin’s fingers passed over the top of her shoulder.

Rustle—

She pulled down a paper towel hanging on the wall.

The Alpha put some distance between them again. She tilted her head slightly, wiping her hands with the paper towel, then said:

“You specifically telling me something like that makes it sound like you’re asking for a reward, Classmate Yu~”
