After Teasing the aloof Arch-Nemesis Omega - Chapter 13

No one passed through the corridor outside. The surrounding air was quiet. The people who had just been locked inside the room had also fallen silent, probably realizing that continuing to shout would be useless and temporarily giving up.

Yu Yunlan’s breathing was light and slow. Her thoughts looked somewhat empty, but in truth, she really wanted to ask: why had Fang Zhijin locked those people inside? Was it because of her?

Was she helping her?

But for some reason, Yu Yunlan could not bring herself to ask. She also did not know what kind of answer she wanted to hear.

The two of them were squeezed into the corner, with less than half a meter between them. Perhaps because the surroundings were too quiet, she slowly grew a little dazed.

Yu Yunlan looked at the Alpha before her. The scene from last night’s dream surfaced and actually overlapped with the figure in front of her.

And so, her hand uncontrollably reached forward, as if she wanted to touch the person before her.

But when it had only reached halfway and was about to touch her—

Bang!

A sound of someone slapping the door came again from the room not far away.

The people inside had probably thought it over and become too angry, so they hit the door.

“!”

That sound abruptly brought Yu Yunlan back to her senses. After realizing what she had just been about to do, she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, quickly letting it fall back to her side.

Her fingertips missed the corner of Fang Zhijin’s clothes by only one centimeter.

This series of actions was especially abnormal when placed on Yu Yunlan, who had always resisted others approaching and touching her.

Fang Zhijin seemed thoughtful. Her gaze lightly drifted across Yu Yunlan’s face. Then the corners of her eyes lifted, and she smiled. “Did you not rest well last night, Classmate Yu?”

Yu Yunlan looked somewhat dazed today, and her complexion was also a little pale. Her lips were already naturally pink, but now their color was even lighter.

It was as if she had not slept well for a while.

Yu Yunlan did not answer this question. She took a small step to the side, hiding the trace of weariness in her eyes.

Her current state was indeed a little wrong.

Yu Yunlan had not slept well for the past few nights. Her Omega pheromones were restless inside her body, as if they had sensed something and urgently wanted to come out. If not for the G13 drug constantly suppressing them, they would probably have leaked out long ago.

This was a situation that had never happened before.

Yu Yunlan guessed that this was probably not just a problem of drug resistance. After all, ever since she differentiated into an Omega, her pheromones had never behaved like this.

Could it also be a side effect of G13?

The side effects of G13 had always varied from person to person, so Yu Yunlan could not be certain.

Yu Yunlan avoided the other girl’s appraising gaze and said, “Excuse me.”

Having her question ignored, Fang Zhijin did not seem to mind. She rubbed her thumb and index finger together and said with a trace of carelessness, “Where are you going, Classmate Yu?”

Only after widening the distance between them a little did Yu Yunlan say, “The laboratory.”

Fang Zhijin did not ask what she was going to the laboratory for. She only said, as if it were perfectly natural, “Then let’s go together. It’s on the way.”

“The laboratory is in the opposite direction from where you were going just now.”

Fang Zhijin tilted her head, her eyes curving. “Then I must have gone the wrong way just now.”

“…”

On the way to the laboratory, neither of them spoke. Yu Yunlan kept a constant distance, as if worried that she would approach again.

Looking at the figure ahead, the expression on Fang Zhijin’s face faded.

She was thinking about some things.

Now that the candidate list for deputy grade chief had already come out, the election would be held in two days.

According to the situation in the dream, Yu Yunlan failed the election because she did not arrive at the venue in time, and an Alpha named Chen Nanqi became the deputy grade chief.

Even though that Alpha was later reported for stealing someone else’s work and dismissed, another person took over the position instead of Yu Yunlan.

Moreover, in the dream, it was only long after the incident had passed that Fang Zhijin learned Chen Nanqi had used some small tricks on the day of the election. By some strange coincidence, it caused Yu Yunlan’s gland to be damaged because she had not injected G13 in time, making her miss many opportunities.

Thinking of those scenes in the dream, Fang Zhijin realized that she was actually somewhat displeased.

This feeling was like something that belonged to her was being damaged by someone else.

And so, she curved her lips. Her eyes quietly darkened a little, and a crack appeared in her gentle image.

Since she was unhappy, she would change this plot point. Although she did not know why she was unhappy, what did that matter?

In any case, what she wanted to do would not change. She wanted to change those things in the dream and see whether this world would correct itself, or whether something else would happen.

The laboratory building was not far from here. Fang Zhijin did not follow Yu Yunlan upstairs. She stood below, watched Yu Yunlan go up and enter one of the laboratories, and after remembering which laboratory it was, turned and left.

As if she really had only been passing by.

On the other side, only after leaving the Alpha’s line of sight did Yu Yunlan’s body quietly relax a little.

Just now, she had been doing her best to control her gaze, forcing herself not to pay too much attention to the Alpha behind her.

Only after her mood became calm again did she arrive at her workbench.

She needed to prepare properly for the deputy grade chief election. Elite Academy and the government had started a talent training program, and the grade chief and deputy grade chief could come into contact with some more core matters.

Yu Yunlan did not want to miss this opportunity.

Furthermore, Elite Academy’s laboratories were open to students. This also meant that not only Yu Yunlan could use these laboratories. If she wanted to carry out some important research, she needed a more private environment.

The deputy grade chief had the authority to apply for a private space, which would be very convenient for Yu Yunlan.

She lowered her eyes and began her research.

During this period, she had been researching a new drug. This drug was not expensive because it had very strong side effects on the human body. However, this time, she was not simply breaking down its components, but improving this type of drug.

Today, it should be close to completion.

During the five hours that afternoon, Yu Yunlan recorded the data and final results. At the door, footsteps sounded. Two male Alphas walked into the laboratory.

When they saw someone inside, their expressions were a little surprised. “So there’s someone in here.”

“What are you researching?”

Yu Yunlan ignored them. Only when one of them tried to stick his head over did she frown and glance at him coldly.

Her appearance already belonged to the cold and aloof type. Now, with no expression on her face, she looked even more unapproachable.

That person was first stunned by her gaze, then became somewhat embarrassed and angry. “Why are you looking at us like that? Tsk, acting as if we really want to know.”

“Forget it, forget it. This is a public laboratory. Why bother with her? Didn’t we come here to get something? Let’s get it and leave.”

The other person seemed to agree with him and walked into the laboratory to look for something. When he passed by Yu Yunlan, he even deliberately paused and let out a “tch.”

In a place no one noticed, a tiny device almost invisible to the naked eye quietly attached itself to the laboratory panel. A faint white light flashed, indicating that the device had been activated.

The two of them searched the laboratory and found nothing. Looking very displeased, they cursed and grumbled as they left.

After leaving the laboratory, the angry expressions on their faces disappeared completely. They took out their communicators and sent a message to someone in their contact list, claiming credit.

Brother Qi, it’s done.

…

After Yu Yunlan recorded the data in the laboratory and returned to the dormitory, the other two roommates happened to be in the living room.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yuan Qiaoqiao looked toward the door. Seeing that it was Yu Yunlan, curiosity immediately appeared in her eyes. There was no malice in that gaze, but it did carry a kind of rare, appraising interest.

Even Jiang Wan, who had always been immersed in studying, could not help looking at Yu Yunlan a few more times.

Yu Yunlan knew the reason. The candidate list for deputy grade chief had been announced, so her two roommates must also know that she had signed up.

Yuan Qiaoqiao and Jiang Wan’s reactions also represented the attitude of Elite Academy’s people toward this matter.

It was an invisible, lofty yet unconscious contempt from those in higher positions toward a commoner.

Under those two gazes, Yu Yunlan suddenly thought of Fang Zhijin’s face.

Because she realized that whether it was after the list had been announced or on the way to the laboratory building, Fang Zhijin had never asked about her registration.

Her expression had been as ordinary as could be, as if she had never thought there was anything wrong with someone from Domain D running for deputy grade chief.

A strange feeling rose in Yu Yunlan’s chest. She silently hid this emotion, simply nodded to the two of them in greeting, and returned to her bedroom.

The high-intensity research during the day left her somewhat mentally exhausted. The gland at the back of her neck was a little hot, so Yu Yunlan injected herself with another Omega suppressant.

Generally speaking, in the early stage of differentiation, an Omega’s heat would be rather unstable. But even when she had just differentiated, her pheromones had never been this active.

This activity would affect the effects of G13, and that was exactly the situation she least wanted to see.

After injecting the Omega suppressant, Yu Yunlan frowned and waited for the Omega pheromones inside her body to calm down.

For now, she only had one dose of G13 left. And with her pheromones unstable, the drug’s effects could fail at any time.

Yu Yunlan thought of the information she had read that night. Could it be that in order to calm her Omega pheromones, she could only let someone temporarily mark her?

A temporary mark meant that she would have physical contact with that person. Just thinking about that kind of scene made resistance rise in Yu Yunlan’s heart.

She absolutely would not let an Alpha mark her, even if it was only a temporary mark.

Yu Yunlan pressed her lips together and thought this.

But that night, she had a hazy dream.

In the dream, in the corridor of the teaching building, an Alpha whose face she could not see clearly trapped her in a corner, bent down, and leaned close to her. Long hair brushed across her neck, stirring up wave after wave of ticklish sensation.

Then, by her ear, in a voice mixed with wicked laughter, the Alpha softly said:

“Why are you trembling?”
