After the Nerd Marked the Top Omega - Chapter 33.2
In the past, no matter where Fang Xu went, she would send a message to report, in case she couldn’t be found. Song Shu had been annoyed, telling her to send fewer and only when she asked.
Now that the two had broken up and were former girlfriends, Fang Xu didn’t explain in detail, just said, “I bought them.”
Song Shu’s tone wasn’t very pleasant, carrying a hint of aggression, as she asked, “What are you buying them for?”
She still felt that Fang Xu and the word romance didn’t go together, and seeing her with flowers made her feel alienated.
Fang Xu simply replied calmly, “For no particular reason.”
Facing Song Shu, she seemed to have lost her former patience and just wanted to maintain distance to prevent others from misunderstanding.
For some reason, Song Shu felt that the person in front of her had changed a lot, much colder, and hadn’t replied to her last message.
She felt a surge of anger. “Suit yourself.”
After leaving those words, Song Shu departed, and her displeasure was obvious from her back.
Fang Xu had never quite understood why the other person was always angry before, and she still didn’t understand now.
But she didn’t need to try and guess anymore.
Fang Xu withdrew her gaze and walked into the school with the flowers.
Tang Xingxing was surprised to see her. “Xuxu, the flowers are so beautiful.”
“They are,” Liu Hanxue asked curiously. “Did someone send them to you?”
Fang Xu chuckled. “No, I met a little girl selling flowers on the road. It was too cold, so I bought them all.”
Tang Xingxing exclaimed, and she could understand. “It’s really a bit cold outside. Stay out for half a day, and you could freeze.”
“It is,” Liu Hanxue sighed. “It’ll be cold for two or three more months.”
Fang Xu put her things down and gave them each two roses. “Putting them on the desk makes you feel good.”
“Thank you, Xuxu!”
Tang Xingxing said, “I’ll find a bottle to put mine in.”
“I have one here. Just wash it,” Liu Hanxue handed it to her, then asked, “Do you want one, Xuxu?”
“I have one here.”
The rose scent wasn’t strong, but the color was beautiful. Placed on the desk, it made the other items lose their color.
Fang Xu placed them nearby and started writing her thesis.
She had already planned the framework when she started the topic; now, she only needed to turn her ideas into a document.
As she wrote, Fang Xu started to get distracted again, thinking about the events of the past few days.
Clearly, the marking was the same before, yet I never had such a presumptuous thought.
It’s a little strange.
She clicked on the search bar, her fingertips moving lightly as she typed in the question.
#Alpha suddenly wants to kiss someone, what’s going on?
Soon, the search result page appeared, with a variety of answers.
[What to do if you always want to kiss and bite during the oral stage? Don’t delay if you have these symptoms!]
[Are Alpha and Beta incompatible and can’t be together? The latest scientific research gives you the answer, no need to worry.]
[Ways for couples to kiss, do you really know them all?]
[What does it feel like to have a crush on someone? The latest bittersweet novel awaits you.]
[…]
After scrolling through two pages, it was all advertisements. Fang Xu reluctantly prepared to close the page, but her hand wasn’t careful and clicked on the very bottom answer.
[Five signs you’ve fallen for someone. Click in and see if you’ve been hit!]
[Many times, when you fall for someone, your body is more honest than your heart. Wanting to kiss, wanting to hug…]
The content on the page entered Fang Xu’s mind before she could react.
Like?
Kissing was naturally something only couples could do, Fang Xu knew that, but this possibility had always been excluded by her.
After all, when they signed the agreement, they had stipulated that there should be no extra feelings and no crossing the line.
“Your body is more honest than your heart…”
Fang Xu looked at this sentence again, then immediately closed the page. Her heart suddenly sank, and she felt intensely flustered.
Have I really fallen for Pei Yunci? she asked herself silently.
A little white figure said: It’s totally normal to like Pei Yunci. Pei Yunci comforts you when you’re sad. Pei Yunci helped you when your game ran into problems. Pei Yunci soothes your emotions with pheromones during your susceptible period.
Another little black figure said: You actually don’t like Pei Yunci; you’re just being influenced by pheromones. Wait half a month, and this feeling will be gone. Don’t worry too much.
The little white figure retorted: You’ve been marked so many times. Do you want to kiss every time?
The little black figure still insisted on its view: Well, maybe you did before, but only noticed it recently.
The little white figure: That’s too far-fetched! You can’t even convince yourself.
The little black figure: What else? If you truly like Pei Yunci, can your agreement continue? Will you still mark? Will Pei Yunci’s illness still be treated?
Both little figures fell silent.
Tang Xingxing was getting ready for bed. Seeing Fang Xu spacing out, she patted her shoulder. “Xuxu, get some rest early!”
Hearing this, Fang Xu took a moment to react, her thoughts emerging from the argument between the two little figures. She replied, “Okay.”
The night deepened. She also went to bed, but with her eyes open or closed, all she saw was Pei Yunci.
Fang Xu knew the answer to the little black figure’s question just now.
If she really fell for the other person, the agreement certainly couldn’t continue. On the one hand, Pei Yunci wouldn’t agree. On the other hand, a marking with such intentions would no longer be purely auxiliary treatment.
She slowly closed her eyes, her thoughts scattered, unable to distinguish them herself.
Let’s wait and see.
Saturday.
Fang Xu was at school, discussing the competition problems with the seniors participating in the JGCPC in the lab.
“That’s about it for now?” One of the others pressed her sore neck.
“I think it’s good. The JGCPC has a large number of questions and they’re difficult. This time allocation means we won’t be flustered at least.”
“What do you think, Little Xu? Will two questions be a bit too difficult?”
“It’s alright,” Fang Xu had already reviewed the previous years’ questions these days and felt confident. “I have no problem.”
Hearing this, the person next to her smiled. “Luckily, I managed to get you on our team with the advisor.”
There was a difference between people. Fang Xu’s ability was undoubtedly the best among them, without even needing a comparison.
“Indeed,” another person chimed in. “I ordered milk tea for everyone on the team. It should be arriving soon. I’ll go check.”
Fang Xu asked, “Do you need help?”
There were quite a few people on the team, and taking the order back wouldn’t be easy. “Yes! Little Xu, come with me.”
After the two returned with the delivery, they saw everyone on the team sitting in rows, waiting to be fed.
“Come on, come on. They’re all the flavors you like. Take your own.”
“Thank you, Senior!”
“No problem. Is the advisor here?” As she spoke, the senior took out two cups, handing one to Fang Xu. “Try this. It’s the new taro-mud flavor, highly recommended.”
She had also treated them to milk tea before and unintentionally observed that Fang Xu always took the remaining cup after everyone else had taken theirs. The more she noticed this, the more she wanted to take care of the girl.
Fang Xu smiled lightly, feeling the warmth of the cup, and also said, “Thank you, Senior.”
Senior: “No need to thank me. Eat and drink well. We’re counting on you to carry us in the competition.”
While the two were talking, the rest of the team was chatting too.
“The advisor went to another place for an academic conference yesterday. He won’t be here this week.”
“That’s good. This week’s weekly meeting can be canceled.”
“I really hope we can skip next week’s too.”
“It’s a great day, why are we talking about this?”
“Speaking of which, since the two of you are together, shouldn’t you treat the team to a meal?”
Fang Xu was listening nearby. This question was directed at a couple on the team, the pair that had been brought together by the ‘Truth or Dare’ game.
“Of course! We’ve been planning this, but team matters have been quite busy. We wanted to ask if everyone is free during the winter break.”
“I am. I’m not in a hurry to go home.”
“Me too. I’m staying at school for a while after the winter break starts.”
“Great. I’ll set the exact time and post it in the group chat then.”
After making the plan, one person asked, “Tell us single dogs, how did you two get together?”
As soon as this was said, the eyes of the people in the group brightened. “We want to know too.”
The couple hadn’t been dating for long, and their faces were slightly flushed. Finally, the Alpha spoke first.
“This is my first time liking someone too. What I say might not be exactly right, so just listen casually.”
“Mm-hmm,” the others said in unison. “Get to the point.”
Fang Xu took a sip of her milk tea and listened attentively.
“It’s just that, whenever I think I can see her, that day becomes very happy, even if it’s a team meeting. And if she’s happy, I’m happy. If she’s sad, I’m sad.”
“If she’s with another Alpha, I’ll wish that the person standing next to her was me.”
At this point, the Alpha’s face was redder than an apple, and he didn’t say much more. “That’s about it. If you meet someone you like, you’ll naturally understand.”
Most people were listening in a joking manner. Hearing this, they teased them for a bit and didn’t ask further.
“You guys, I’m coding every day and I don’t like going out. Can I really meet someone I like?”
“In your case, you can wait for a ‘robbery’ love.”
“What’s that?”
“…”
Fang Xu also curved her lips with everyone else, but she was a little distracted, verifying each point the person had said in her mind.
If she could see Pei Yunci and talk to her more, she was naturally happy.
If the other person was happy, she would be happy too. If the other person was sad, she would be sad and worried.
If Pei Yunci were with another Alpha, friends would be fine, but if it was a more intimate relationship…
Thinking of this, Fang Xu felt a dull ache in her heart.
She seemed to genuinely have a different kind of feeling for Pei Yunci.
