Be Quiet, This Scumbag Alpha Has The Gaokao - Chapter 9
Before her rebirth, Su Jiu had only cooperated with Rong Cuo after swallowing the Xu family.
While she had been lying low in the Xu family, Rong Cuo had helped her. Rong Cuo herself had excellent vision and patience too. It was just that Tianxiang’s family line had withered. In her twenties, Rong Cuo had already been leading the group as a major shareholder. After finally straightening out the inside of the group, she had lacked a little luck externally. She disdained taking dirty paths and had been pressed down by Dasheng so badly that she could only pick up scraps to eat. Zhou Guangyao had even set his sights on Rong Cuo’s Omega younger sister, causing Dasheng to put no small amount of pressure on Tianxiang.
Even so, Rong Cuo had still managed, at such a young age, to drag Tianxiang along alone and keep it barely breathing until Su Jiu gained a voice and gave her the chance to turn things around.
This time, Su Jiu had found Rong Cuo in advance, taken down Zhou Guangyao, and, along the way, reached a cooperation with Rong Cuo through exchanging information. Su Jiu helped Rong Cuo, and Rong Cuo rode the momentum upward, leading Tianxiang to develop and expand rapidly.
Not beating the Zhou family until they had no strength to fight back was not her style.
Su Jiu admired Rong Cuo’s ability and also liked her calm, capable, open, and upright character. After the two of them began cooperating smoothly, they also became friends who occasionally made dinner appointments and often chatted.
After chatting a little about Su Jiu’s upcoming entry into the film crew, Su Jiu suddenly remembered that Rong Cuo, Zhou Guangyao, and Xu Ancheng could be considered people who had grown up together since childhood. While drinking coffee, she asked casually, “What has Xu Ancheng been doing recently?”
“Ah.” Rong Cuo suddenly became quite interested. “Recently, she counts as one of the strange stories in the circle, though not many people are interested in talking about her because it’s boring.”
“Boring?”
“She’s vanished without a trace for a long time. The only thing she’s done recently is turn that bar of hers into a gender-restricted bar on odd and even days. After doing this for a month, business has actually become even hotter than before. It’s just that those Alphas who used to play with her think it’s boring now, so they don’t go anymore.”
Su Jiu gave an “oh.”
“I heard she’s studying.”
“Studying?” Su Jiu did not react for a moment.
“Yes.” Rong Cuo was full of interest. This could not be blamed on her. Among those who knew Xu Ancheng, there was no one who did not treat this matter as a joke.
“She wants to take the gaokao.”
Su Jiu suddenly thought of Xu Ancheng sitting on the bench on the school field earlier. Based on Su Jiu’s understanding of Xu Ancheng, she was completely not the kind of person who could sit still on a bench in a high school sports field, no matter whether she was reading smut or scrolling Xiaohongshu.
Gaokao. Math Olympiad. Bench. E-reader.
Rong Cuo answered a call. “Rong Zhi is nearby. Do you want to meet her? She’s in her second year of high school now. Although I’ve spoiled her a little, her character is as good as mine.”
Su Jiu had met Rong Zhi in her previous life.
An excessively beautiful girl. Yet the first time Su Jiu saw her had been at a business banquet. The girl’s eyes had been wide with fury, and on her face was a five-fingered slap mark left by Zhou Guangyao. She had glared at him viciously without the slightest retreat, as if she wanted to gather all the starlight in the sky and stab it all at once into Zhou Guangyao’s filthy heart.
“All right,” Su Jiu said. “I didn’t bring any gifts, so I’ll treat you both to dinner.”
“Don’t. You finally got free. It isn’t easy for you to save money.”
As Rong Cuo spoke, a girl wearing a high school uniform pushed open the door and came in.
“Sister!”
Only after walking over did the girl call out cleanly and crisply, not disturbing anyone else. Clearly, holding herself back had been hard on her. Yet her pair of beautiful eyes landed on Su Jiu and refused to move away.
“Sister!”
Rong Cuo said, “Your sister is right here.”
Rong Zhi tugged on Rong Cuo’s sleeve and muttered fiercely, “Sister, when did you meet such a pretty Sister, and why didn’t you tell me!!”
Rong Cuo said, “I’m telling you now.”
“Sister, my name is Rong Zhi. My family is pretty rich, and I’m an Omega. You are too, right? Are you strict about gender?”
Su Jiu: …?
Rong Cuo let out a light sigh and picked up her bag. “Let’s go. Time to eat. Weren’t you hungry?”
Rong Zhi hooked her arm around Su Jiu’s in one swift motion. “Sister, do you like Japanese food? I’m going to extort a meal from my sister today, so you have to eat more, okay? Sister, can we add each other on WeChat?”
Rong Cuo said, “Sorry for making a spectacle of ourselves. There weren’t really any elders at home since she was little, so she grew up used to being lawless.”
With her arm held by Rong Zhi, Su Jiu used her other hand to take out her phone for her. In doing so, she caught a glimpse of the previous friend Rong Zhi had added. The name was “Orange,” and the profile picture was an extremely narcissistic shot of a jawline.
If she remembered correctly—
That person who had always sent gland photos to harass her before she blocked them had a matching profile picture and name.
Su Jiu narrowed her eyes. “This person?”
“Ah, I saw she had some looks at school earlier, so I added her. But Sister, don’t worry, she can’t compare to even one ten-thousandth of you. Besides, she’s an Alpha, and I don’t really like Alphas. I was just momentarily misled by her appearance. Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning.”
Rong Cuo added, “Xiao Zhi says she’s pansexual. Su Jiu, be careful.”
“Wow, Sister, your name is Su Jiu. It sounds so pretty. Sister, are you free tonight? Should we go out drinking?”
Su Jiu: …
She began to doubt her own assessment of Rong Cuo. Calm, capable, open, and upright? How had she failed to notice in her previous life that this woman was quietly wicked?
Still, at least one thing could now be confirmed.
Xu Ancheng was still that same Xu Ancheng. Sure enough, she had gone to the high school for female high school students. She was still a rotten person.
Su Jiu said, “Fine, but you have to delete this person. She’s an extremely rotten scumbag. Don’t get involved with her.”
Rong Cuo leaned over to look. “Ah, Xu Ancheng. Hurry and delete her, delete her. Careful your phone gets infected with an Alpha virus.”
Rong Zhi said, “Deleted, deleted.”
Deleting and blocking, all in one smooth sequence. Then she hugged Su Jiu’s arm again and giggled.
Xu Ancheng never knew that the first beautiful girl she had ever met who had taken the initiative to add her on WeChat had already deleted her.
After returning home, she once again began grinding through real questions and exam papers, using up one pen a day.
That day, the math teacher came half an hour early and knocked on the door. Xu Ancheng had just finished showering. Seeing her through the video doorbell, she remembered that the math teacher was a female Alpha, a very safe gender, so she opened the door while drying her hair. “Teacher, you’re early.”
“I came early after dropping off my child. It just so happened that a relative sent some cured duck for the New Year, so I brought two for you. The flavor is very good. Have your chef make them for you.”
Xu Ancheng grew awkward again. “Thank you.”
The math teacher stepped into the entryway, then her nose moved slightly. “Are you about to enter your susceptible period?”
Xu Ancheng had just showered and had not yet put on a suppressant patch, so her pheromones were easily smelled by others. Xu Ancheng said sorry and quickly went to get a suppressant patch.
“Be careful not to catch cold. Alphas are very fragile during their susceptible period, especially you. You’ve been using suppressants all this time because you’ve been busy studying, right?” The math teacher stood by the door. “Let’s keep a polite distance for now.”
Alphas did not like smelling pheromones from the same sex. In the original scent, there would be an additional unpleasant odor. Most AA homosexual groups had a pheromone paraphilia.
After Xu Ancheng put on the suppressant patch, the math teacher folded her arms and thought for a moment. “I think you need to rest.”
“Not really.” Recently, she had indeed been a little tired. Her running time had also gone from the original thirty minutes to barely being able to last twenty minutes. Xu Ancheng had thought it was only because she had stayed at home for too long.
“Just now, your gland was swollen.” The math teacher pointed to the back of her neck. “Alphas are very fragile during their susceptible period and get sick very easily. You know, many Alphas are in the prime of life and full of energy, only to suddenly die with a snap during their susceptible period.”
She did not know.
Xu Ancheng froze blankly.
The math teacher said, “Before I came to teach you, a friend had heard of you and said you were someone who always had partners and loved playing around.”
Xu Ancheng admitted, “I used to be an idiot. Now I’ve turned over a new leaf.”
“That is also a kind of problem. If an Alpha is used to relying on partners to get through their rut period, then suddenly relies entirely on suppressants and suppressant patches while also studying at high intensity all the time, it’s very easy for the body to have problems. Have you been feeling a little weak recently, or had a slight fever?”
She had not felt a fever exactly. It was just that her throat hurt, her nose was running, her head was a little heavy, and she felt a bit hot and cold by turns.
The math teacher said, “You should properly rest for a few days. Treat it as your reward for getting first place in the math Olympiad competition. I’ll tell Ms. Zhou about this. The other teachers and I have a group chat, and I’ll tell them the same thing. The susceptible period lasts three or four days, and after that comes the rut period. I suggest you rest until this rut period has passed. If you feel unwell, remember to see a doctor.”
Xu Ancheng said, “Thank you, Teacher.”
The math teacher said, “You’re welcome,” then added, “Who exactly said you were rotten and had a bad temper? Were they jealous that your family is rich, you’re good-looking, and your brain is smart?”
Xu Ancheng: Not saying, not saying.
She absolutely did not dare say nonsense. Her money was only because Xu Wei had money. She herself was nothing but a lump of trash.
Faced with this sudden rest, she did not know what to do for a while. After breakfast, she planned to go sleep. This sleep lasted until the afternoon. When she woke up, she found that her throat felt as if she had swallowed blades, and her nose was so blocked she could not breathe. After drinking a lot of hot water, she sent a message to Auntie Zhou.
Auntie Zhou brought the family doctor over.
The family doctor said the same thing as the math teacher: cold, fever, largely caused by her susceptible period, and even more by the sudden abstinence during this period. Her body had been running overloaded and had gone on strike a little.
Xu Ancheng translated it again: in other words, sexual repression.
“The fastest way for Miss to recover, since your rut period is coming soon, is actually to find an Omega partner.” The doctor paused for a second. “I’m only stating the pathological facts. Maintaining the same lifestyle habits as before has a restorative effect on the body. If you want to change your body’s habits, you’ll need to suffer through it for a period of time. You can decide for yourself.”
Xu Ancheng would not decide that.
“What should I pay attention to if I don’t find a partner?”
“Light diet, more sleep, appropriate exercise, take medicine every day, receive suppressants on schedule. The rest is simply enduring it by force. Let me say this in advance: an Alpha who is used to resolving their rut period with partners will have a very difficult time during rut. In the past few months, you seem to have been relying on willpower and suppressants to resist it, but your willpower appears to have already been overdrawn. I’ll prescribe some soothing agents for you. They contain Omega pheromone components, but the effect varies from person to person. Try not to use them unless you truly can’t endure it.”
When Yun Ruo heard that her twenty-something-year-old baby was sick, she hurried over in a panic. But after all, she could not help much. So she could only direct people to bring in large amounts of tonics, snacks, and study supplies while secretly wiping her tears.
“Mom wants to spend money on you now, but I don’t even know what you like anymore. You don’t really wear the clothes you used to like, and the only bag you use is the one Mom bought you.”
As Yun Ruo spoke, she cheered herself up. “Mom will give you a car.”
Xu Ancheng said, “I’m only one person with two hands. I can’t drive that many cars. Why don’t you convert it to cash and give me the money?”
