After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Became That Omega - Chapter 3
Yun City University’s Cafeteria Two could be considered an internet-famous dining hall.
Judging from the crowd packed shoulder to shoulder inside, the food had to be delicious too.
The air was filled with the aromas of all kinds of different dishes.
“Is there anything you guys want to eat?” Sang Yuan was a textbook case of decision paralysis. Looking at window after window giving off tempting scents, he felt deeply troubled.
But what he was best at was following everyone else’s opinions, then choosing something different from theirs. That way, they could share afterward.
Then he could eat several different things at once. He really was such a clever little thing.
After looking at the long lines already stretching out in front of them, the four of them tacitly headed toward the places with fewer people.
There would be plenty of chances in the future anyway. It was not as if everything had to be eaten today.
Perhaps because school had just started, Cafeteria Two had far more people than usual.
After discussing it, and in order not to affect their class meetings that evening, they directly went to buy the fastest option—pulled noodles.
They could come back and eat the other things once everything settled down.
Sang Yuan looked regretfully at the many food windows. Forget it. He would favor them properly in the future.
After dinner, Sang Yuan headed toward the Liberal Arts Teaching Building. Liu Tiancheng happened to be going the same way, since the History Department also had classes there.
The two of them were dormmates, and they had just eaten together, so they quickly became familiar with each other.
Sang Yuan had originally been an open and cheerful person. Ever since entering this book world, he had been afraid that the original owner’s family would notice something wrong, so he had never really dared to let loose.
Now that he was at university and no one knew him, Sang Yuan was very happy.
He could pretend for a while, but if he had to keep pretending forever, he probably could not do it.
Luo Xinghe watched the two of them leave from behind and smiled at Ji Tang. “Let’s go. We have a meeting too.”
“Mm.” Ji Tang responded, ignoring the gazes cast over from around them, then walked toward the Astronomy Department with Luo Xinghe.
Both of them were used to being stared at, so they were not affected at all.
Luo Xinghe suddenly laughed. “When I saw Sang Yuan today, I thought he was an Omega. I didn’t expect him to actually be a Beta. His looks are kind of wasted.”
“What’s there to waste?” Ji Tang said disapprovingly.
“With the way he looks, if he were an Omega, he’d definitely have tons of people chasing him. But since he’s a Beta, a lot of people probably won’t be interested.” Luo Xinghe shrugged.
Betas had an especially low chance of conceiving, so they were not an Alpha’s first choice.
Ji Tang thought of the excited expression Sang Yuan had shown when special forces were mentioned, and he was very skeptical of Luo Xinghe’s conclusion.
He had an instinctive feeling that even if Sang Yuan were an Omega, he would not be a delicate one.
“By the way, the special forces people coming here to train us this time—is it because of you?” Luo Xinghe looked at Ji Tang beside him.
He and Ji Tang had grown up together since childhood. Both of them could be considered the kind of children other people’s parents praised.
After differentiation, the two of them had successfully differentiated into Alphas, which made the people around them even more envious.
In families like theirs, only by becoming an Alpha could one gain a firm foothold.
Ji Tang had been thrown into the military camp since he was little. When he was still barely bigger than a fart, he had already been training alongside soldiers.
His family had placed great expectations on him.
They hoped that, in the future, he could inherit the family tradition and enter the military.
Who would have known that after the college entrance exam, Ji Tang, who had successfully differentiated into an Alpha, would choose a major that left everyone’s jaws on the floor?
Astronomy.
His family was stunned. When they saw the admission notice, they could hardly believe their eyes.
Not only had he not chosen a military academy or any related major, he had chosen something called astronomy?
A massive earthquake broke out in the Ji family.
Originally, the military had also been cheerfully optimistic about a good seedling like Ji Tang.
They had thought it was something that would naturally fall into place, only for things to suddenly take a turn.
Throughout the entire break, different people came to talk to Ji Tang one after another, trying to persuade him to give up attending an ordinary university and directly enroll in a military academy.
What? Military academies had stopped admissions?
Special circumstances called for special treatment. Good talent could not be allowed to go to waste. He should not waste his naturally gifted genes.
Luo Xinghe had basically been given an urgent mission and followed Ji Tang into the Astronomy Department.
The Luo family could be considered an affiliated family of the Ji family.
Everything they did took the Ji family as their lead.
Luo Xinghe had also relied on his own excellence to become someone who could grow up alongside Ji Tang.
Originally, Luo Xinghe had already prepared himself to attend a military academy.
In the end, he followed Ji Tang to Yun City University’s Astronomy Department.
“No need to bother with it. We’ll know when the time comes.” Ji Tang did not take it to heart, his voice very indifferent.
It was not as if the military was the only option in his life.
The class meeting was indeed just as Liu Tiancheng had said. Its main purpose was to gather everyone and explain tomorrow’s military training arrangements for all freshmen.
The moment Sang Yuan entered the classroom, he shocked everyone inside.
There were very few students in the Literature Department. One class only had around twenty people.
Most of the students in this class were Betas, and there were two Omegas sitting in the middle of the classroom like stars surrounded by the moon.
As soon as Sang Yuan walked in, the classroom fell silent. Everyone stared straight at him.
Without a doubt, Sang Yuan’s soft, pretty face was far too deceptive.
However, no one smelled any pheromones from him.
The two Omegas sitting in the class each gave off a scent—one smelled like roses, while the other smelled like fresh grass.
The two Omegas, who had originally felt a bit hostile toward Sang Yuan’s pretty face, immediately relaxed once they sensed that Sang Yuan was a Beta.
No matter how beautiful he was, he was still only a Beta. He posed no threat to them.
Sang Yuan casually picked a seat and sat down.
A chubby figure beside him sneakily leaned closer. “Bro, my name’s Fang Yuandong. What’s yours?”
“Sang Yuan.” Sang Yuan smiled at Fang Yuandong.
Fang Yuandong clutched his heart, his face turning a huge patch of red. “You being a Beta is such a waste of heaven’s gifts.”
“Good thing you’re not an Omega. If you were an Omega, you’d definitely cause a melee.” Fang Yuandong added another sentence.
Sang Yuan raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Fang Yuandong’s words.
“So what does this department mainly study?” Sang Yuan looked around. Everyone was sitting there, waiting for the teacher to arrive.
Fang Yuandong’s eyes widened. “You don’t know what this major studies? Then why did you apply for it?”
“Hm? Because there are fewer people,” Sang Yuan answered very honestly. “The main reason I chose this major was because there are fewer people.”
Mainly, he was afraid that if he went to a department with lots of people and one day his heat period arrived, he could forget about properly hiding his identity.
“Our Literature Department is also known as the retirement department. Since you chose this major, you really did make the right choice.” Fang Yuandong cheerfully said to Sang Yuan, “Our department usually doesn’t have much going on. We just write a few more essays and articles, that’s all.”
Sang Yuan’s originally relaxed and comfortable face snapped toward him. “What did you say? What do we have to do? Write essays?”
That last sentence was practically squeezed out in a distorted voice.
