After Teasing the aloof Arch-Nemesis Omega - Chapter 2

The cold quality of her voice naturally carried a sense of distance. Coupled with that expressionless face of hers, when Yu Yunlan said those words, she looked as though she was provoking him.

The Alpha thought so too. Furious beyond measure, he gnashed his teeth and said, “You still dare to provoke me!”

But in truth, Yu Yunlan really did think his voice sounded unpleasant.

These Alphas’ voices were rough and hoarse. From the very beginning, they had been chattering nonstop, like annoying mosquitoes.

Yu Yunlan struggled to support her body. The gland at the back of her neck felt swollen and painful. Yu Yunlan knew that her heat was about to arrive.

Fortunately, she had injected herself with a special drug that morning. In the empire, this type of drug was considered illegal and had severe side effects, but it could conceal her Omega pheromones.

Even during her heat, she did not have to worry about her identity as an Omega being exposed.

Yu Yunlan’s fingertips curled slightly. After enduring another wave of swelling pain, her gaze could not help drifting toward the second floor again.

Fang Zhijin knew nothing about this small action from the protagonist. She had already left the place from earlier and was now walking downstairs.

She planned to watch the fun and, while she was at it, trip the protagonist up a little.

Because of that, Yu Yunlan did not see the person she wanted to see on the second floor. Her gaze paused for a moment.

That person just now was gone. Was she an Alpha? She was really beautiful.

This thought lightly crossed Yu Yunlan’s mind, then vanished in an instant.

Opposite her, the Alpha saw that Yu Yunlan was ignoring him and became even angrier. He was about to walk over and properly teach this ignorant poor commoner from Domain D a lesson.

The friend beside him saw his intention and hurriedly stopped him. “Hey, wait. Don’t go over there.”

He lifted his chin, looking down on her with obvious disgust. “Did you forget? Domain D is piled with garbage everywhere. The people there probably grew up in trash heaps. If you go over there, what if something dirty gets on you?”

The Alpha indeed hesitated. He glanced at Yu Yunlan.

It was currently enrollment time at Elite Academy, yet Yu Yunlan was not wearing a custom-made school uniform. Instead, she was dressed in simple, slightly worn private clothes. Although they were clean and neat, it was clear that she had worn them many times.

Domain D was the most chaotic and backward place in the empire. It was known as the garbage district. The people who lived there did not have enough money to go anywhere else and could only live among trash.

Thinking of this, a trace of disgust immediately flashed through the Alpha’s eyes. He no longer intended to move closer. “True. A rat from Domain D like this isn’t worth me going over there. Who knows how dirty she is?”

He looked at Yu Yunlan. “Hey, considering you came from Domain D and haven’t seen much of the world, I’ll let it go this time. Kneel down and say sorry to me, and I’ll spare you. How about that?”

“Why should I apologize to you?” Yu Yunlan’s expression remained indifferent.

Even after being publicly looked down upon just now, the expression on her face had not changed in the slightest.

The Alpha said, “Because I almost fell earlier. You were clearly standing right beside me, yet you dared not to catch me and let me step straight into a puddle. Do you know how expensive my shoes are?”

“So why should I have caught you?” Yu Yunlan’s voice became even colder than before.

The Alpha froze. “What?”

Yu Yunlan said, “You’re dirty. I didn’t want to touch you.”

She glanced at the Alpha’s shoes. They looked very expensive, but because he had just stepped into the puddle, they were already completely wet. There was even a bit of mud stuck to the side.

“You!” The Alpha’s face turned livid. “Fine. You’re forcing me to teach you a lesson, aren’t you!”

After saying that, he openly released his Alpha pheromones.

The scent of gunpowder gradually appeared in this area. His pheromone level was not exactly top-tier, but he was full of confidence. These pheromones were enough to make the person opposite him kneel and beg for mercy.

When the pheromones of two Alphas collided, they would only stir up their instinct to compete, like animals marking territory. One side would always submit.

No one around them spoke. The atmosphere was like a string stretched to its limit.

But before the scent of gunpowder could touch Yu Yunlan, a smiling voice appeared, knocking a gap into the tense atmosphere.

“This place seems very lively.”

Not far away, Fang Zhijin’s figure gradually appeared before everyone’s eyes.

At that moment, the wind happened to rise. It lifted the tips of Fang Zhijin’s hair and the corners of her clothes, and also blew away and diluted the pheromones the Alpha had just released.

The gunpowder was like a match soaked by heavy rain. Only a wisp of smoke remained, and once the wind blew, it dispersed.

Fang Zhijin approached this place. With only one simple sentence, she drew everyone’s gazes toward her.

The aura belonging to a high-level Alpha made the people around her instinctively step back to both sides, clearing a path for her.

Like the moon surrounded by stars, she arrived in front of Yu Yunlan.

Faint conversations sounded from the side.

Someone asked uncertainly, “Oh my god, is that Fang Zhijin?”

Someone answered proudly, “It’s her. My family attended the Fang family’s banquet last year, and I saw her there. She’s Fang Zhijin.”

That person immediately received many envious looks.

Quite a few people were eager to try speaking to this top elite of Domain A.

After all, Fang Zhijin not only came from an impressive family, but also had a gentle personality and outstanding strength. Long ago, her pheromone level had already reached high rank, and in this entrance assessment, she had even received all “S” grades!

“F-Fang… Classmate Fang! Hello.” Even the Alpha who had just been aggressively pressuring Yu Yunlan now looked at Fang Zhijin with an extremely eager gaze.

“Hello.” Fang Zhijin glanced at him, the smile at the corners of her lips making her seem very easy to get along with. Yet what she said next made unease rise in the other person. “I think I sensed someone releasing pheromones just now.”

“This… I…”

Fang Zhijin glanced at Yu Yunlan and just so happened to meet her gaze.

Fang Zhijin’s smile deepened. “You two released pheromones on campus. That seems to violate school rules.”

Someone in the crowd looked puzzled and secretly muttered, “Did Fang Zhijin get it wrong? Wasn’t there only one Alpha who released pheromones?”

The person beside her lightly nudged her with a hand. “Don’t talk nonsense. Fang Zhijin is a high-level Alpha. Maybe the one from Domain D also released pheromones, but we just couldn’t smell them.”

“All right, all right.” Although still confused, that person shut her mouth.

“It isn’t good to violate school rules,” Fang Zhijin said considerately. “So I already sent a message to the school just now.”

“Wh-what?” The Alpha’s expression changed slightly.

He had not expected Fang Zhijin to intend to report such a small matter to the school. Barring any accident, violating school rules would result in a demerit.

If he received a demerit right after school started, he would become a laughingstock at the academy afterward.

The Alpha tried to plead his case. “I didn’t do it on purpose…”

“I know you might not have done it on purpose.” Fang Zhijin interrupted him without batting an eye. The expression on her face carried a trace of difficulty. “But I think since we’ve all just enrolled, we should still follow the school rules.”

“If this kind of thing isn’t handled properly, the school’s discipline will become chaotic in the future.”

If these words had come from someone else, they would probably have been mocked as naive.

After all, everyone knew that most of Elite Academy’s school rules were actually used to restrain ordinary students. But when those words came from Fang Zhijin’s mouth, no one refuted her.

The people around them echoed one after another.

“That’s right.”

“Exactly. The school rule says you can’t casually release pheromones. If they don’t deal with this, then won’t anyone be able to release pheromones whenever they want in the future?”

Amid these voices, Fang Zhijin’s mood became extremely pleasant. She looked once more at that protagonist.

From just now until now, the other girl had barely said anything. She had only been looking at her.

What? Was she unconvinced that Fang Zhijin might make her carry a punishment on her record? Good. That was exactly right.

Fang Zhijin said, “Classmate, why aren’t you wearing the school uniform? Are you from Domain D?”

“Your expression is so cold. Why aren’t you saying anything?”

She walked toward Yu Yunlan step by step, her gaze roaming over the protagonist’s tall and well-proportioned figure.

Even though the other girl was wearing slightly old clothes, she was still cold and dignified. It was only because of her heat that her complexion was somewhat pale. Up close, Fang Zhijin could even see a faint sheen of sweat at her temples.

Looking at this kind of protagonist, Fang Zhijin thought again of that dream, and of her own ending in it.

What should a normal person do after learning the plot? Build a good relationship with the so-called protagonist? Fang Zhijin refused.

Fang Zhijin continued slowly looking upward until her gaze finally landed on the button fastened at the very top of Yu Yunlan’s collar.

From the dream, she had learned that the other girl seemed to dislike other people approaching and touching her the most. Even the official Alpha love interest was no exception.

Fang Zhijin thought that she would just have to provoke the protagonist, anger the protagonist, and make the protagonist hate her even more.

And so, she bent down and leaned her upper body closer, pulling the two of them into an extremely close distance.

She waited for the protagonist’s reaction. Would it be resistance? Disgust? Revulsion?

But none of those came.

Because Yu Yunlan did not dodge. She only asked one question.

“Why are you coming closer?”

Whether it was the Alpha who had been causing trouble for her or the crowd watching the spectacle, everyone thought people from Domain D were dirty. So why were you coming closer?

But when it reached Fang Zhijin’s ears, it became proof of the protagonist’s dislike. She was very satisfied, so she tilted her head, pretending to be puzzled.

“Am I not allowed?”

This was their first conversation.

From a distance, their bodies seemed to be pressed together, carrying an inexplicable intimacy.

“I’m just a little curious. Classmate, do you know…” Fang Zhijin deliberately lowered her voice to a volume only the two of them could hear and said slowly, “you smell so good.”

Good?

Yu Yunlan repeated the word in her heart. Her fingertips at her side curled for an instant. She did not know whether it was because of her heat, but she felt Fang Zhijin’s breath was very hot. When it fell against her neck, it seemed capable of burning the skin beneath her clothes.

The aching swell of her gland came again. Omega pheromones surged beneath her skin, trying to emerge, only to be pressed back down by the effects of the drug.

Yu Yunlan lowered her lashes slightly, suppressing the ripple in her eyes, and said,

“Please behave yourself.”
