After Teasing the aloof Arch-Nemesis Omega - Chapter 16

The scenes Fang Zhijin dreamed of last night had been far too gloomy. She did not particularly like revisiting the fragments of her own death. That version of herself was very wretched.

This unpleasant mood continued until the deputy grade chief election the next day.

Originally, the deputy grade chief election should have been held in the morning, but Fang Zhijin suddenly made a suggestion and moved the time to the afternoon.

In all these years at Elite Academy, this was the first time someone from Domain D had signed up for the election. The academy’s students came to watch this event with a mocking, spectacle-seeking attitude.

The election venue was set in the grand cathedral. As this year’s grade chief, Fang Zhijin needed to be present, along with the grade chiefs and deputy grade chiefs from the upper years.

Fang Zhijin sat in the seat with her name written on it. Because she was in a poor mood, even the smile on her face was a little fainter than usual. She chatted with the people around her in a scattered, absentminded way.

During a certain pause in the conversation, she lowered her eyes, concealing the impatience in them, then glanced at the time on her communicator.

There was still half an hour.

Many of the people participating in the election had already arrived and were making preparations.

Among them was Chen Nanqi.

When Chen Nanqi came in, he was very nervous and guilty.

After learning yesterday that the drug had been confiscated by Fang Zhijin, he had nearly been scared out of his wits. After harshly scolding the people who had done the job, he had not slept well the entire night.

But when he arrived at the election venue and saw that Fang Zhijin seemed perfectly fine, and that her expression was also normal when she looked at him, he finally relaxed slightly.

Those people probably had not given him up. Fang Zhijin also did not seem to have been affected by that drug.

Perhaps that drug had already evaporated long ago.

He slowly felt relieved.

The election participants needed to hand in a copy of the paper materials they had prepared. So Chen Nanqi handed over his election materials.

As this year’s grade chief, Fang Zhijin accepted everyone else’s materials and only casually glanced through them. But when she saw Chen Nanqi’s copy, she did not immediately set it aside. Instead, she opened it directly.

The corners of the Alpha’s lips curved. She unhurriedly looked over the content. Her movements invisibly carried a trace of lazy nobility. Her fingers were long, slender, and even. When they bent slightly, they revealed beautiful knuckles, tapping lightly on the materials again and again.

But Chen Nanqi was in no mood to notice how beautiful those hands were. He was very nervous now, and very guilty.

He swallowed, afraid that she might see something.

Finally, Fang Zhijin raised her eyes. The corners of her lips curved into a smile that looked very gentle, while the darkness in the depths of her eyes was hidden so deeply that outsiders could not glimpse even the slightest trace.

She pointed at the materials. “You made this?”

Chen Nanqi forced down his guilt and nodded.

The people beside them did not understand what was going on. Seeing this, they leaned closer. When they saw the content, they could not help praising it. “The data on here is very impressive. And this new drug can actually be improved like this?”

“Zhijin, aside from you, this year’s freshmen actually have someone else this outstanding.”

Fang Zhijin’s fingertips slid across the data on the page. Her gaze swept over Chen Nanqi at the side, and a trace of derision flashed through her eyes. She only said, “The materials are indeed very well done.”

The other election participants had already arrived and taken their seats, but one seat had remained empty the entire time.

It was Yu Yunlan’s seat.

Fang Zhijin glanced at the time. Only five minutes remained.

Logically speaking, the other girl should not still be absent at this point. Where exactly had something gone wrong?

Her fingers unconsciously tapped the table faster.

The person beside her noticed this small detail and could not help looking over a few more times.

Below, Chen Nanqi had not expected this kind of situation either. Originally, because the drugging had not succeeded, he had still been worried that they would have to argue later about who these materials belonged to. Who would have thought the other girl still had not arrived even now?

This was simply heaven helping him!

So he took the initiative and said, “It seems everyone has arrived. Why don’t we start early?”

Fang Zhijin lifted her brows slightly. “There’s still one person who hasn’t arrived.”

Here, seeing that Yu Yunlan had not come, the guilt in Chen Nanqi’s tone faded considerably. He said, “Only that poor commoner from Domain D hasn’t arrived. With her background and no real ability, I think we can just ignore her. Are we really supposed to wait for her?”

His words were full of “poor commoner” and “no ability,” carrying contempt and arrogance.

No one present spoke, as if they did not think there was anything wrong with what he said.

“Classmate, can you be a little quieter?” Fang Zhijin glanced over faintly.

“…”

Almost the instant he met Fang Zhijin’s gaze, Chen Nanqi’s voice choked. He uncontrollably shivered, and a wave of panic surged up in his heart.

Although the expression on that face was still gentle, Fang Zhijin’s black pupils were dark and deep. When she stared at someone like this, it was as if she wanted to suck them in.

That feeling was terrifying. Chen Nanqi’s face went pale, and he immediately shut his mouth.

The other people beside them also felt that Fang Zhijin looked somewhat different from usual. Someone hesitated before asking, “Zhijin, what’s wrong?”

Fang Zhijin withdrew the hostility in her eyes. When she lowered her gaze, the familiar smile returned to the corners of her lips. She said, “I just think everyone should respect each other.”

The people beside her nodded. Regardless of what they thought inwardly, at this moment, they all showed agreement. “Yes, yes. We’re all classmates. Saying that definitely isn’t good.”

Fang Zhijin did not continue on that topic. Instead, she asked, “There is still time before it starts. Has anyone seen Yu Yunlan?”

The people present looked at each other. Finally, one person raised their arm and said, “I think I saw her by the teaching building beside the grand cathedral, but she disappeared very quickly.”

“All right. Thank you.” Fang Zhijin let a smile bloom across her face and stood up directly. “I’d like to step out for a moment.”

The Alpha’s smile was extremely gentle and dazzling, but her actions were another extreme entirely, without the slightest hesitation. Under everyone’s gazes, she walked outside. The corners of her uniform and the ends of her hair were lifted by the wind from her stride.

She had to bring Yu Yunlan over to attend the election.

…

Fang Zhijin arrived at the teaching building beside the grand cathedral and walked through the corridors, but she did not see Yu Yunlan anywhere.

This was not class time, yet there was almost no one here, as if something invisible was preventing people from approaching this place.

Fang Zhijin searched along the corridor. When she passed a certain spot, she seemed to hear the sound of something falling to the ground. It was extremely faint. If not for her outstanding five senses, she would not have been able to catch it.

Seeming to sense something, she stopped and looked over.

It was a very strange feeling. As if in the unseen workings of fate, some voice was telling her that the person she was looking for was there.

Fang Zhijin looked toward the storage room in the corner of the corridor. The storage room door was tightly shut.

Her expression was hard to read. She walked toward it. When she reached the door, she first paused for two seconds. Then she reached out and slowly pushed it open.

The door was like Pandora’s box, slowly opening and finally revealing the situation inside.

The light inside was dimmer than outside. In the storage room, a figure wearing the academy uniform was bent over, shoulders leaning against the wall. Fang Zhijin could hear the other girl’s disordered breathing.

Sensing movement at the door, the person inside raised her head, revealing that cold and otherworldly face.

—She had found her.

Borrowing the natural light from outside, Fang Zhijin observed the other girl’s condition.

The cold and self-controlled protagonist from the original plot was now propping one hand against the wall. Her skin, usually like cold jade, was flushed with a faint pink, much like peach blossoms blooming in early spring. It was a very enticing color.

Beside her was a small box that had fallen to the ground. It was probably the source of the sound Fang Zhijin had just heard.

“Yu Yunlan?” she called.

Yu Yunlan’s consciousness was somewhat unclear. When she realized the door had opened, her fingers silently curled as she tried hard to make herself a little more sober.

Only after hearing this voice did her fingers slowly loosen again.

It was Fang Zhijin.

Strange, wasn’t it? The moment she realized this, Yu Yunlan actually felt relieved, and even felt a hidden sense of gladness.

“Close… close the door.” Yu Yunlan panted once. Her usually cold eyes were stained with a trace of moisture, hazy and alluring.

It could be seen that she was already close to her limit. Her body had also started trembling. The uniform outlined her slender, flexible waist, making it look very thin. When she trembled, she was like a faintly quivering string.

A soft sound rang out. It was the sound of the door closing.

The room, already not very bright, became even dimmer.

At first, neither of them spoke. Only chaotic, rapid breathing could be heard.

Until a trace of Omega pheromones slowly appeared. At first, it was as thin as a thread, then gradually became richer.

It was Yu Yunlan’s Omega pheromones overflowing.

“These are Omega pheromones.” Fang Zhijin walked closer, her tone carrying what sounded like surprise as she knowingly asked, “You’re an Omega?”

Yu Yunlan only let out a muffled groan. The Omega pheromones in the air became even more intense.

Fang Zhijin was not stupid. She could tell that Yu Yunlan’s current condition was very wrong.

She was thinking about one thing. Why was it that, even though she had clearly changed some things, something had still gone wrong with Yu Yunlan?

She had to know, this time, she had deliberately moved the election that had originally been in the morning in the dream to the afternoon, wanting to use this to verify certain guesses.

In the dream, even though Yu Yunlan’s gland had developed a problem, she had still arrived at the election venue around noon. In the morning, Fang Zhijin had deliberately stayed in the dormitory and secretly observed the other girl’s condition, but had not noticed anything wrong.

She had thought she would be able to change the situation from the dream this time, but now, the time at which Yu Yunlan’s body developed a problem had changed to the afternoon.

It was as if no matter what Fang Zhijin did, Yu Yunlan could not attend the election.

If Fang Zhijin had not rushed over, Yu Yunlan might have bitterly endured it in this small storage room, continued missing the election time, and finally ended up with her gland damaged.

So the so-called plot really could adjust itself.

Fang Zhijin’s mind was terrifyingly calm.

But then she heard Yu Yunlan’s disordered breathing, mixed with a certain pain, and a trace of anger rose in her heart. She attributed it to her dissatisfaction with the plot being able to automatically correct itself.

She suppressed that emotion, and her whole person became careless again as she slowly approached the person inside.

“Classmate Yu, are you all right?”

Yu Yunlan’s breathing was somewhat rapid. She looked like she could no longer really speak.

She wanted to work hard to control herself, but the Omega rockrose pheromones were already trying to seep outward, constantly restless.

Especially the instant Fang Zhijin spoke, those Omega pheromones seemed to have found the target they had long desired. They all surged over together, circling around Fang Zhijin. Completely different from Yu Yunlan’s cold and aloof temperament, they were unbelievably enthusiastic.

The state and concentration of the Omega pheromones in the air were not normal. Yu Yunlan’s behavior was very much like an Omega in heat.

Fang Zhijin understood. She had already known from the dream that Yu Yunlan used the G13 drug to conceal her Omega pheromones. She had also secretly learned about this kind of drug, so of course she knew that Yu Yunlan’s pheromones were now out of control.

In this kind of situation, Alpha pheromones were needed to relieve it.

But in the dream, Yu Yunlan was someone who especially hated others approaching her, and even the official Alpha love interest had been no exception.

Not to mention, Yu Yunlan had enrolled publicly as an Alpha. No matter which reason it was, even at the risk of damaging her gland, she had been unwilling to come into contact with Alpha pheromones.

But such a cold and distant person actually had such clingy pheromones.

This made Fang Zhijin somewhat surprised. A trace of interest flashed through her eyes. She extended one finger, and those rockrose pheromones wrapped around her knuckle as well.

Fang Zhijin felt those pheromones, tilted her head slightly, and smiled. “Your pheromones are very enthusiastic.”

Yu Yunlan closed her eyes. Her face was cold, but in truth, she was hiding the shame in her eyes.

Her pheromones liked Fang Zhijin very much, and they even seemed to carry a strange sense of closeness, as if they were very familiar with the other girl.

The rockrose pheromones were shouting, cheering, and leaping for joy, carrying endless happiness.

“Came out… found her… touched her… like her so much…”

Yu Yunlan’s breathing grew chaotic. Her gland went numb from the disturbance of her own pheromones.

This afternoon, she had originally wanted to go to the grand cathedral to attend the election. But when she passed by this place, her body suddenly developed a problem.

Everything happened very quickly, giving her almost no time to react. She could only hide here.

Now that her Omega pheromones kept seeping out, if this continued, perhaps other people would notice something wrong here.

And also… looking at the figure ahead, she became somewhat dazed. She wanted to approach, wanted to touch Fang Zhijin.

It had nothing to do with pheromones. It seemed like a desire from the depths of her soul.

She needed Fang Zhijin. She wanted to get close to Fang Zhijin.

Fang Zhijin, Fang Zhijin, Fang Zhijin…

She repeated this name in her heart again and again. After saying it too many times, she could not help calling it aloud as well.

“Fang Zhijin…”

Fang Zhijin…

“Mm.”

Feeling that soft response from the person in front of her, a trace of satisfaction emerged in her heart. Her throat was very dry, but she still called again.

“Fang Zhijin…”

Her trembling voice made a request.

“Please mark me.”

Fang Zhijin’s interest rose. She had not expected the protagonist to actually take the initiative to speak. This was something that had not happened in the dream.

As for events that went beyond the development of the dream, she was very willing to do them.

But the wickedness in her bones also made her want to do something cruel.

So she approached the other girl step by step, constantly shortening the distance between them.

Then her gaze swept over the other girl’s mist-dampened brows and eyes, her restrained expression, and her messy collar, finally landing on the back of her neck.

That was where the gland was. Her collar had already loosened, and the skin at the back of her neck was half-hidden, half-revealed. A faint trace of pink could be vaguely glimpsed.

Fang Zhijin bent down slightly and laughed softly.

Along with the other girl’s increasingly disordered breathing, she lifted the hair that had fallen over Yu Yunlan’s shoulder and said in a maliciously seductive voice:

“Beg me.”
