After Teasing the aloof Arch-Nemesis Omega - Chapter 14

Fang Zhijin discovered that she had been seeing Yu Yunlan even less often during this period.

The other girl seemed to be deliberately avoiding the times when Fang Zhijin was around, acting as if she could not bear to share the same space with her.

Even when they happened to run into each other in the morning, Yu Yunlan would first freeze for a moment, then lightly furrow her brows. Her face would carry a strange stiffness as she avoided Fang Zhijin and walked out without saying a single word.

With this kind of behavior, did this mean Yu Yunlan hated her even more now?

The instructor on the platform was lecturing. Fang Zhijin lightly tapped the desk with her fingertips several times, thinking this to herself, not paying attention to the class.

Until the person beside her suddenly spoke.

“Um, Zhijin.” The person gently poked her forearm and said, “The instructor seems to be calling you.”

The instructors at Elite Academy seemed to especially favor Fang Zhijin. They would often mention her name from the platform.

The corners of Fang Zhijin’s lips curved into a gentle arc. Without showing anything, she moved her arm down from the desk, away from the other person’s touch, then said, “Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Thank you for reminding me.”

“N-no problem,” the person beside her answered shyly.

Classmate Fang Zhijin really was so gentle!

On this side, Fang Zhijin stood up from her seat. The instructor on the platform did not mention her lack of focus and only pointed gently at the content on the light screen, repeating it once.

“Classmate Fang Zhijin, please answer the question above.”

Fang Zhijin swept her gaze over the light screen. Now that some time had passed since enrollment, Elite Academy’s course difficulty had begun to increase. The content on the light screen was obscure and hard to understand.

But after reading it, she barely paused before parting her lips and answering the questions.

The classroom was quiet. Only the Alpha’s clear, gentle voice sounded. She did not deliberately raise her volume, but through the classroom’s built-in amplification system, it was enough for everyone to hear what she said.

The Alpha’s refined and handsome face was already eye-catching. With her long hair over her shoulders and her smiling expression, she looked as if she carried some kind of soft-focus glow. Ever since she went up, everyone’s gaze had focused on her.

On the other side of the classroom, Yu Yunlan tried her best to suppress her gaze, but her eyes still drifted over uncontrollably, landing on a certain Alpha.

Beside her, two people were speaking in very quiet voices.

“Fang Zhijin is really amazing. She even knows this new content. No wonder every instructor likes her so much.”

“Goddess level! Goddess, actual goddess level! I’m drooling over her.”

“I’m dying of laughter. Why do you sound so perverted?”

“I’m drooling because she really is tempting. And I also know that a lot of people at school are tempted too.”

“Ahem, well, that’s true.”

“Do you think if I cling to her hard enough, the goddess could become my Alpha? Would I have a chance to get my pheromones on her in the future?”

That sentence carried a joking tone, but it still made Yu Yunlan’s fingers quietly tighten.

The more she listened, the more a suffocating heaviness rose in her heart, making her uncomfortable. Even her eyes turned half cold.

She had become very strange. It was bad enough that she was paying more and more attention to a certain Alpha, but she had even dreamed of her that night.

That sentence mixed with laughter seemed to still linger by her ear, making Yu Yunlan’s feelings even more complicated and difficult to distinguish.

Whether it was those dreams or her own emotions, she could not explain the reason for them. For the time being, she attributed this feeling to the side effects of G13.

After all, these emotions had been appearing frequently lately. She had to contact Ye Su again.

Coincidentally, Fang Zhijin had already finished answering on the other side. The instructor’s face carried satisfaction and only told her to sit down.

Fang Zhijin did not move for the moment. Her body paused briefly, then she turned her face and looked toward a certain direction in the classroom.

That was where Yu Yunlan was.

As for why she suddenly looked that way… it was because Yu Yunlan’s gaze was too obvious.

Among all the gazes in the class, only hers was mixed with coldness, along with some other emotions.

When Fang Zhijin looked over, the other girl had her thin lips pressed together, and her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of chill.

Fang Zhijin could not help raising her brow slightly.

Sure enough, this kind of gaze had appeared again.

Just like in the dream. Yu Yunlan had also been like this, often looking at her with a gaze that seemed both provocative and displeased.

It was just that compared to the dream, Yu Yunlan’s gaze was even more obvious, as if she hated Fang Zhijin to the extreme. Her brows and eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

This gaze made Fang Zhijin think of a certain scene in the dream. At that time, she had gone to Elite Academy’s dormitory building to find someone. Because she had been living outside ever since enrollment, she was not very familiar with the place, so she simply waited in a relatively quiet corner for someone to come pick her up.

It was also then that she faintly heard a conversation. Someone seemed to be on a call.

The distance was somewhat far, and there were not many people around. If not for a high-level Alpha’s five senses, even if someone else passed by, they would not have heard the conversation.

Fang Zhijin had no interest in being an eavesdropper and had originally planned to walk farther away, but then she suddenly heard her own name.

“You’re actually in the same class as Fang Zhijin. What do you think of her?”

Afterward came a cold voice, clean and crisp, like thin snow that had not yet melted in early spring. Only its tone was slightly heavy, carrying a certain displeasure.

“An Alpha who gets very close to many people. She has no sense of boundaries.”

The owner of that voice was very distinctive. Fang Zhijin almost recognized it immediately.

In the dream, a trace of surprise had flashed through her eyes at the time, and she found it interesting.

After all, from childhood until adulthood, no one had ever used words like “no sense of boundaries” to describe her.

…

After class ended, Fang Zhijin returned to the dormitory.

Yu Yunlan got up and went elsewhere. During this period, she only came back at night.

In the dormitory, Yuan Qiaoqiao and Jiang Wan were both in the living room. Yuan Qiaoqiao was looking at her communicator with a troubled expression.

While swiping with one hand, she wailed to Jiang Wan that the assignment the instructor had given was truly too difficult and that there was so much information to find.

After Fang Zhijin listened from the side for a while, she suddenly said, “Then do you want to go to the academy library with me? The atmosphere there is good, and it’s quite convenient for looking up materials.”

Yuan Qiaoqiao’s eyes immediately lit up. “Sure, sure.”

Jiang Wan liked reading and studying, so naturally, she had no objections.

On the way to the library, Yuan Qiaoqiao walked lightly and said, “Zhijin, I thought you would prefer searching for information online. I didn’t expect you’d go to the library too.”

Fang Zhijin smiled and said, “Either way is fine for me. Recently, the library added some new materials. Some of them probably haven’t been entered online yet.”

In truth, she was not going to the library to look up materials. Tomorrow was the deputy grade chief election. If she remembered correctly, Yu Yunlan would be secretly drugged in the library with a substance that induced an Alpha’s susceptible period, causing her body to develop abnormalities that night.

This drug had an incubation period. At a certain time, it would induce an Alpha to enter their susceptible period early. It was a prohibited drug.

The person who drugged her had not expected Yu Yunlan to actually be an Omega. They had done it only to make Yu Yunlan unable to go out because of a susceptible period. However, unexpectedly, this inducer caused the Alpha pheromones transformed by the G13 drug inside Yu Yunlan to go out of control. Her Omega pheromones also produced a rejection reaction, forcing her body to endure immense pain.

In the end, Yu Yunlan not only failed to make it to the election, but afterward, she was also left with lasting gland-related aftereffects.

Fang Zhijin wanted to change the dream’s plot, so she had to stop this incident.

Facing Fang Zhijin’s words, Yuan Qiaoqiao did not doubt her at all and suddenly understood. “So that’s how it is!”

How did Zhijin know everything? She was amazing!

Elite Academy’s library was a ten-minute walk away, not too far.

Fortunately, the weather these past few days was either cloudy or rainy, so the walk was not too hot.

The school library had three floors in total. There were many students inside, most of them on the first floor. The top floor was the quietest place.

The school library’s books and materials were extremely complete. Its collection was so vast that it was known as “Domain A’s resource library.”

Yuan Qiaoqiao and Jiang Wan stopped on the second floor and agreed to split up first to look for the materials they needed.

Fang Zhijin said, “The content I’m looking for seems to be on the third floor. I’ll come down to find you later.”

Yuan Qiaoqiao and Jiang Wan nodded and agreed.

So Fang Zhijin walked toward the third floor.

The library’s books were all categorized and kept in different areas. The bookshelves were nearly two meters tall, standing in rows, enough to conceal a person’s figure.

In the corner of one row, an Alpha and a Beta were sneakily hiding there. They were not reading, only glancing around out of the corners of their eyes.

If Yu Yunlan were here, she would be able to tell that the Alpha was one of the Alphas who had gone to the laboratory that day.

The Alpha’s tone was impatient. “Where exactly is she? I’m so done. These bookshelves are way too tall. I can’t see anyone at all.”

Considering that a high-level Alpha’s five senses were very strong, the two of them deliberately lowered their voices.

The Beta said, “What’s with this Yu Yunlan? Every day, she’s either running to the library or going to the laboratory.”

Hearing this, the Alpha felt even more depressed. Exactly. And Yu Yunlan had not been going to the laboratory lately either. The moment class ended, she stayed in the library, which meant they had no choice but to squat here and look for an opportunity.

He said, “No matter what, we have to get this done today. Tomorrow is the deputy grade chief election. Brother Qi gave the order. We absolutely cannot let Yu Yunlan get there on time.”

The Beta immediately straightened up, his tone full of flattery. “Mm-hm, I know, I know.”

Seeing his movement, the Alpha hurriedly said, “Be careful. Don’t move too much. If the glass tube breaks early, we’ll be in trouble.”

He felt somewhat disdainful and even a little regretful. If not for the fact that this drug affected Alphas, he would not have had to find a Beta like this.

This Beta seemed clumsy in his movements. Drugs like this had to be stored in specially made glass tubes. This kind of material was relatively fragile, and the drug inside evaporated very quickly, with only a few seconds of effect.

The range of the drug’s evaporation was small. They needed to see Yu Yunlan before crushing the drug tube. If it accidentally broke early, they would be finished.

Chen Nanqi would not spare them.

The other person also reacted and quickly covered his pocket, nodding carefully. “Don’t worry, bro. Leave it to me. You can rest assured.”

The Alpha waved his hand in irritation.

The two pretended to search for books in front of the rows of shelves, while actually sneaking glances around.

Finally, when they saw a certain cold figure flash past, the Beta’s eyes lit up. He lowered his voice. “Hey, bro, I think I saw Yu Yunlan!”

The Alpha immediately became alert. He pushed the Beta and said, “Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up. There just happen to be not many people on the third floor right now.”

The Beta hurriedly responded with a couple of “Oh”s and walked in that direction.

The Alpha was afraid that if he got close, he would be affected, so he did not follow and instead moved farther away.

He silently prayed that the person he had found had better be useful.

On this side, the Beta walked toward the place where he had just seen the figure. But these bookshelves all looked the same, and they were densely arranged. His vision grew a little blurred, and for a moment, he could not determine exactly where Yu Yunlan was.

Out of the corner of his eye, a figure seemed to pass by. Thinking it was Yu Yunlan, he hurriedly walked over.

That figure stood still. The Beta was delighted and was just about to bump into her so he could take the opportunity to crush the glass tube.

But as the distance closed step by step, he saw that person’s appearance clearly.

A refined and handsome face, ink-black eyes, standing there like white jade soaked in moonlight.

The Beta’s footsteps abruptly stopped, and he froze in place.

No, why was it Fang Zhijin?!

“Do you need something?” the other person asked.

The Alpha’s eyes were too perceptive, instantly giving him the feeling that he had been seen through.

“I… I… I don’t need anything.”

The Beta immediately felt guilty. He subconsciously took a small step back, but accidentally bumped into the bookshelf behind him.

Elite Academy’s uniform pockets were designed with slanted edges. Because of his movement just now, the drug inside his pocket shifted slightly, exposing a small part of it. The sealed opening and glass tube body could be seen.

Fang Zhijin’s gaze landed there. “What’s in your pocket?”

An ominous feeling rose in the Beta’s heart. Following Fang Zhijin’s gaze, he lowered his head and looked at his own pocket. The moment he saw the glass tube, his face instantly turned pale.

It was over…

The Beta could not hide anything on his face. A trace of mockery flashed quickly through Fang Zhijin’s eyes, but on the surface, she pretended to be puzzled. “What drug is this? Please take it out and let me have a look.”

The Beta’s lips trembled, and he did not dare move.

The smile on Fang Zhijin’s face faded. “Classmate, you should know who I am, right? I am the grade chief. I have the right to inspect the drug on you. Now, give it to me.”

When her smile disappeared, the pressure belonging to the Fang family heir surged out from her.

The Beta’s body also began to tremble, but he still wanted to struggle a little.

Then Fang Zhijin lowered her voice and continued, “If you don’t cooperate, and we later discover something wrong with it, the punishment will be doubled.”

The Beta immediately took out the drug. “I don’t know what this is. This thing suddenly appeared in my pocket. It has nothing to do with me. I don’t know anything.”

After Fang Zhijin accepted it, she discovered that a crack had actually appeared on the glass tube. It was probably from when the Beta had bumped into something while stepping back just now.

Fortunately, the broken area was very small, and the amount of drug leaking out was still within a controllable range.

Holding the drug, Fang Zhijin frowned slightly.

It seemed that when she returned to the dormitory later, she would need to inject herself with a suppressant.

But the Beta did not know this. When he saw that the glass tube had cracked, he was almost scared stupid.

He roughly knew what this drug did. But now, the person holding the drug had become Fang Zhijin, and the drug inside had evaporated.

That was Fang Zhijin! Someone he could not afford to offend no matter what.

What if something happened to Fang Zhijin’s body? What if… what if he was retaliated against?

At the time, they had clearly agreed that they were only messing with a powerless poor commoner from Domain D. That was why he had accepted the payment and taken the job. How had the situation become like this?

The more the Beta thought about it, the more frightened he became. In the end, he shouted, “It has nothing to do with me!” while fleeing in panic.

Looking at the Beta’s retreating figure, Fang Zhijin withdrew her gaze faintly. She lowered her eyes, hiding the darkness inside them.

What a useless thing.

She took a completely sealed pale metal box from her bag and placed the drug inside. Then she walked through several rows of bookshelves.

She did not know where Yu Yunlan was, but since the matter had already been resolved, she planned to leave.

As this thought flashed through her mind, the sound of a book being pulled out suddenly came from the bookshelf beside her.

Someone had taken a book from the shelf.

Fang Zhijin subconsciously looked over. Through the narrow gap left behind by that book, she saw Yu Yunlan, who was also somewhat stunned.

Their eyes met.

Fang Zhijin stopped walking, lazy amusement appearing in her eyes as her ending tone rose.

“What a coincidence, Classmate Yu.”

Yu Yunlan’s voice, however, was mixed with an inexplicable coldness and an unconscious questioning tone. “Why do you have Omega pheromones on you?”

She had Omega pheromones on her?

Fang Zhijin took two seconds to react and quickly understood what was going on.

The drug from earlier that induced an Alpha’s susceptible period was essentially similar to the pheromones from an Omega in heat, so it might have caused Yu Yunlan to misunderstand.

Yu Yunlan spoke again. “Why are you covered in Omega pheromones?”
