The Alluring Boss O's Slacker A (Transmigration GL) - Chapter 5
Ruan Ting Zhi was a good student, so teachers naturally favored her somewhat.
With a strangely leisurely mood, Wen Jin listened as the teacher and student at the neighboring table politely circled around the matter of transferring departments for three hundred rounds.
The compromise they reached was this.
Teacher Cui said, “How about this? Considering how astonishing your past grades have been, transferring departments in your fourth year would truly be a pity. I’ll discuss it with the Pharmacy Department’s homeroom teacher and add an extra minor course for you. But you can’t neglect your studies in the Ancient Martial Arts Department either. If the coursework between the two departments conflicts, the Ancient Martial Arts Department takes priority.”
Ever since Ruan Ting Zhi had differentiated and her pheromones had awakened, she had no longer applied black cosmetic powder to her face.
Black eyes, a pointed chin, and long black hair loosely braided into a plait that slanted over her shoulder.
The Ancient Martial Arts Department uniform was a plain tracksuit. On her, it looked very loose. The simple style instead set off a pure, untainted beauty, like a lotus rising clean from clear water.
She hesitated slightly, then was innocently and purely tricked into Teacher Cui’s rhetoric and agreed.
Beside her, Teacher Cui patted her shoulder. “You are the most outstanding and hardworking student I have ever seen. Even if you minor in two courses at the same time, Teacher will definitely believe that you can allocate your time perfectly and do your very best.”
Teacher Cui’s expression as he painted this huge pie was almost unbearable to look at. Aside from the good student Ruan Ting Zhi, who lowered her eyes in a daze, everyone in the office, including Wen Jin, felt that Old Cui was being extremely cunning.
Wen Jin silently complained in her heart.
Oh. This Old Cui is dreaming.
—
Teacher Li was very responsible toward her students and held Wen Jin back to talk about her future career plan.
Wen Jin was actually so sleepy she could almost doze off from the conversation, but she endured the drowsiness and did not show any dissatisfaction.
As an outstanding quick transmigrator, even after retirement, that sense of propriety in Wen Jin’s bones when interacting with others quietly revealed itself.
She lazily leaned against the back of the chair she had pulled over, the corners of her lips always carrying a faint, polite smile that was not too bright. Perhaps because she was too tired, however, her eyes were covered in a layer of mist, reflecting the glazed-blue daylight outside the window.
Autumn was clear and refreshing, and the sunlight was bright. She was enveloped in warm yellow sunshine, exuding a restrained charm and distance.
It was very difficult for anyone to wrap these two temperaments together so harmoniously.
Ruan Ting Zhi exchanged several more serious thoughts with Teacher Cui about this year’s freshman points ranking list in the Ancient Martial Arts Department. When she turned her head, she saw the misty brows and eyes of the woman next to her.
Perhaps even Wen Jin herself had not realized what kind of aura she was emitting from head to toe at this moment. She seemed cold and indifferent, yet somehow gave off a polite feeling that made people want to get close.
Otherwise, Teacher Li would not have wasted half a class period asking Wen Jin about her well-being.
Ruan Ting Zhi lowered her eyes, and a trace of hesitation slid through them.
In her memories from her previous life, the name Wen Jin had existed among the followers behind the scummy A Luo Xi. Ruan Ting Zhi did not even remember this person’s appearance.
But that made no sense. The person before her had such gorgeous looks and such an outstanding aura that one glance was enough to make ordinary things feel forgettable.
So… the woman across from her had either been low-key in her previous life, or she was hiding a secret.
Of course, none of these were within the range of what Ruan Ting Zhi cared about. What interested her more was Wen Jin’s serum.
A Beta who was immune to her fatal pheromones. If she could extract her serum and send it back to the main family for research, would they be able to develop a potion that suppressed the leakage of her pheromones?
—
When Wen Jin came out of the office, Ruan Ting Zhi had also just finished.
The two met at the door. Wen Jin’s interaction with the female lead O had already passed three days ago.
Their only bit of affection lay in the fact that Wen Jin had kindly given her an injection in the gluteal muscle. This small amount of affection was not enough to make her take the initiative to go forward and start a conversation. Besides, if she had not misheard in the office earlier, the top student Ruan Ting Zhi had learned and applied things on the spot, plagiarizing her idea of transferring departments.
Normally, a plagiarism dog was not worth the original creator giving any extra forgiving looks.
Wen Jin slowly walked forward at an unhurried pace, as sluggish as practicing tai chi.
This set of steps was something she had learned in her forty-eighth xianxia quick transmigration plane. It was a footwork technique for prolonging life.
First, it relieved lumbar disc herniation caused by sitting for long periods. Second, through slow yet tension-filled stretching of the long legs, it could repair wear caused by the bending of bones and joints.
However, she truly had not expected that even while walking this slowly, she would still run into trouble again.
—
Ahead, Luo Xi came down with a large group of followers in a grand rush, blocking Wen Jin in the corridor.
“Without following beside Luo Xi, you’re nothing.” Shao Yu Jia clicked her tongue and swept a careless glance over Wen Jin. Even the corners of her eyes and brows carried mockery.
Luo Xi stood in the shadows without speaking. Perhaps because she had been controlled by Ruan Ting Zhi’s pheromones last time, she had been very gloomy over the past two days and had inexplicably started dreaming. Her dreams were all about Ruan Ting Zhi.
When she did not speak, the other three people in the dormitory also quieted down with her for two days.
What broke this calm was this morning.
The two-person dorm Wen Jin had jointly applied for with her new roommate was approved this morning.
Planning to move in the afternoon, Wen Jin was rarely diligent for once and began packing her luggage. In the end, Luo Xi, who had gotten up late, saw her.
Wen Jin naturally did not think there was anything wrong with this. People on the same path gathered to play together. If they were not on the same path, everyone could part on good terms.
Although the original owner had enjoyed the connection with the Luo family and entered Federal University because of it, she had spent these four years conscientiously acting as Luo Xi’s qualified follower, enduring beatings and scoldings without complaint. That was enough to offset that favor.
Just imagine: with different values, following Luo Xi meant tearing into arguments and fights every day. How tiring.
Wen Jin had calmly and simply explained the difficulty of studying with zero talent and said she planned to stop accompanying Luo Xi on the run and fly solo herself.
In the morning, she still had to go to Teacher Li’s office to handle the department transfer matters. She clearly sensed that Luo Xi had something else to say.
To save time, Wen Jin interrupted her and tactfully expressed, “There’s no need. For someone as dispensable as me, leaving isn’t a big deal.”
It would have been fine if she had not said that. Once she said it, it sounded like sarcasm.
Wen Jin, who had rushed out and knew nothing, naturally missed Luo Xi’s dark, vicious stare.
“Weren’t you pretty arrogant this morning? Why aren’t you talking now?”
“Don’t think Sister Xi doesn’t know what you did. That day in the rain, you were the one who let Ruan Ting Zhi go. What exactly is your purpose?”
Luo Xi’s group of three had been controlled by Ruan Ting Zhi’s pheromones that day, and they themselves could not clearly remember what they had done. But that did not stop campus information from exploding.
Ruan Ting Zhi had differentiated that day and had even been taken to the hospital by ambulance.
When she came back, she had profited from disaster. She shed her old skin and whitened as if she had changed into an entirely different body. Fair skin, beautiful looks, long legs, flawless white complexion, heightened beauty, and excellent grades.
Before, she had been dark, hardworking, and ugly, someone everyone came to challenge.
Now, she had become fair, hardworking, and beautiful.
During yesterday’s arena match, Ruan Ting Zhi wore a summer combat uniform. The moment she placed her fair, long legs onto the black boxing platform, the foolish male Alpha ranked eighth on the combat leaderboard directly surrendered his weapon and admitted defeat.
A past enemy had now suddenly become a campus-wide goddess. She had excellent grades and heaven-defying talent. In the past, the four great families and the generals of the legions had fought to take Ruan Ting Zhi in as a subordinate. Now, each of them had begun making marriage alliance plans.
Unfortunately, Ruan Ting Zhi’s family file was encrypted and not disclosed to the public. There was no way to make a move. So each family instructed its own Alphas to take the initiative and fight for a chance.
Luo Xi had also received a call from her mother yesterday. The meaning behind her words was that it was better to take a shot and miss than let the opportunity slip by.
Luo Xi had been irritable at the time. For some reason, she felt that her feelings toward Ruan Ting Zhi had come too abruptly. She should not have somehow started liking someone just like that, should she? What kind of problem was this?
And at the moment she took that call, Wen Jin was showering in the bathroom. Luo Xi sat on the bunk bed, facing the bathroom door.
The school’s frosted glass door was poor quality and transmitted too much light.
That soft figure was like a green willow branch, forming an S-shaped curve that struck the eye.
The sound of water, and in the misty bathroom, the beauty’s slender fingers brushing over her own body… It was far too sensual.
Luo Xi stared in bewilderment, unable to pull her gaze away. Only when the bathroom door opened and Wen Jin, wrapped in a bath towel, went to the changing area did Luo Xi lower her head and deeply discover that her bedsheet was wet.
She suspected she might be psychologically abnormal. Thinking of Ruan Ting Zhi’s face while looking at the silhouette of Wen Jin’s body, her body had let out a lonely sigh.
Meanwhile, on this side, Shao Yu Jia took a step forward, planning to teach the blind traitor Wen Jin a lesson on behalf of her master, Luo Xi.
She was the shortest among the group of three, but usually she was the one who loved acting high and mighty the most. Relying on Luo Xi’s status, she hung back and fanned the flames.
Today, she wore a pure green little dress, with a small fan stuck in her hair. One hand on her waist, her skirt fluffy, she should have looked charming and adorable. Unfortunately, she had spread her legs like a compass, probably to show off her imposing manner. As she planted her hands on her waist and spread her legs, the wind lifted her short skirt, and she was truly not wearing safety shorts underneath.
The corner of Wen Jin’s mouth twitched. In just a few short days, this was the second time she had seen such a thing.
This made her unable to help suspecting whether her own worldview was wrong. Could it be that in the interstellar world, female Alphas and female Betas truly did not need to wear safety shorts?
Essentially, everyone was still a girl, and there were also so many male Alphas and male Omegas eyeing them.
Aside from Luo Xi, whose S-rank mental strength released pheromones that made people feel pressured and unable to look straight at her, the other two girls’ mental strength ranks were about the same as Wen Jin’s. How could they be so careless?
Looking at the other party sincerely, Wen Jin truly could not bear to keep looking at the black lace trim. She pointed downward with her finger and said seriously, “How about you go back and put on some shorts?”
Shao Yu Jia flew into a rage and could not help raising her hand to start a fight. Wen Jin swept her a cold glance.
She was just about to say, “Friend, have some self-respect.”
But Shao Yu Jia’s hand had only just been raised when someone behind her grabbed it.
—
Ruan Ting Zhi had originally intended to wait for Wen Jin to walk closer so she could test her further.
Out of habit, she stepped forward with neat, even strides. After only a few steps, she discovered that the person had not followed.
So she deliberately adjusted her speed, and her steps naturally slowed by half a beat.
After walking at this slower half-beat rhythm for a minute, however, she could no longer hear footsteps behind her.
Ruan Ting Zhi furrowed her brows, her patience exhausted. She turned back and saw a blurry clump in the distance.
The stairwell was only so long, yet Wen Jin’s rhythm was like a turtle learning to walk.
At this, the strict, self-disciplined, cauldron-carrying little white flower Family Head Ruan suddenly revealed a look of unbearable disdain. She recalled this person’s walking speed in the rain that day.
She instantly understood. This was the other person’s walking habit. No matter what she did, she was lazy, slow, and unhurried, with no concern for efficiency.
Fine then. If the mountain would not come to her, she would turn back to the mountain.
As a result, she happened to hear Wen Jin’s last sentence, telling the top student of the Ancient Martial Arts Department who had been surrounding her to put on safety shorts.
Ruan Ting Zhi suppressed the smile that rose naturally in her heart. With a pure white, untainted, quiet face like a peony, she solemnly displayed the badge on her chest that represented her position as chair of Federal University’s Discipline Office.
Her doe eyes lifted, like a lotus leaf holding morning dew, and she looked at Shao Yu Jia. “On campus, as long as one is not in a training ground, all acts of illegally assaulting classmates are serious disciplinary violations. According to Article 230 of school regulations, three hundred points will be deducted from the student involved.”
Shao Yu Jia regretted not taking Ruan Ting Zhi’s life while she had been ill a few days ago. She had been careless, letting the enemy develop sneakily.
She spat, “Fuck!”
Ruan Ting Zhi said, “Swearing. One hundred points deducted.”
“I fucking—”
Ruan Ting Zhi said, “Another hundred.”
Shao Yu Jia opened her mouth, but no words came out. “…”
Ruan Ting Zhi’s gaze moved downward. Then she fell silent for one second. “Deduct another thousand.”
Shao Yu Jia exploded. “Classmate, be reasonable. I know you’ve been brooding over what happened during your differentiation a few days ago and hold a grudge against our Sister Xi, but I didn’t say anything just now. What right do you have to deduct one thousand points?”
Wearing that pure yet alluring little-white-flower face, Ruan Ting Zhi made the exact same gesture as Wen Jin and pointed downward.
Purely, she said, “Article 123 of Federal University’s school motto: Students are not allowed to enter classrooms wearing slippers or only tank tops and underpants, Western-style underpants excluded. Students are not allowed to drape clothing over their shoulders with an open chest, dress untidily, or wear strange clothing. Male students are not allowed to have long hair. Female students are not allowed to apply lipstick, wear necklaces, rings, or other accessories… Students are not allowed to lift their skirts without wearing safety shorts underneath, swagger through the campus while flashing themselves, or act provocatively.”
Shao Yu Jia, who had flashed herself and acted provocatively: “Who are you trying to fool?”
“There’s no last rule in the school regulations at all.”
Ruan Ting Zhi calmly took out her phone and aimed it at Shao Yu Jia’s skirt hem, which had been lifted by the wind, taking a high-definition photo.
Then, businesslike, she sent the photo to the dean of students and said, “There will be soon.”
Wen Jin lifted her eyelids and glanced at Ruan Ting Zhi. As expected of the female lead O who was about to blacken in the future. Beautiful.
Unfortunately, she was trouble. If she punched them, this group would hold a grudge and bite back later.
Meanwhile, Shao Yu Jia and her companion behind her, Lan Si Si, were both dumbfounded. “…”
Together, they turned back to look at their big sister, Luo Xi.
Luo Xi lifted her head and chest proudly. She even arrogantly pulled up the zipper of her jacket. Today, she was wearing long pants.
She stepped up to Ruan Ting Zhi. “Are you free at noon? Let’s have a meal together.”
Ruan Ting Zhi said, “No.”
Wen Jin thought, Here it comes, here it comes. The scummy A’s famous forceful-seizure scene is here.
In the end, Luo Xi tossed back her chestnut-colored long curls and did not mind. She accurately caught Wen Jin, who was about to slowly stroll away.
With a complicated expression, she said, “Then you eat with me.”
The cafeteria was too noisy. She was here to retire.
Health-preserving noodles with one sunny-side-up egg. Healthy and good for the stomach.
Wen Jin let out a yawn with little interest and opened her mouth, sincerely about to refuse.
Luo Xi seemed to see through her thoughts and threatened, “Uncle Wen asked me yesterday when you’re going home.”
