After the System Called Me Mom, My Arch-Nemesis Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 37.1
weeks ago when people on the Peking University forum compared her to the Med School Beauty and said she couldn’t measure up.
Hearing this now made her feel refreshed from head to toe.
“That’s right, it’s me.” She smiled even more radiantly, with a hint of smugness. Her gaze swept over the crowd and intentionally landed on Jiang Mingyue as she raised her chin. “Everyone has such great taste! Of course, I’m many times more beautiful than Jiang Mingyue.”
Having said that, she gave the crowd a playful, high-voltage wink, eliciting low laughter and even more intense stares. Fang Yuan recognized her too, her tone turning even more hostile: “From Peking University? What are you doing here at our Med School?”
“Don’t be in such a rush, wait a moment.” Lu Lingzhi didn’t take the bait. Instead, she slowly reached into her exquisite designer crossbody bag and… pulled out a carton of oat milk.
She had searched on Baidu: What is the best thing for someone who has been shocked to eat or drink? Oats contain Vitamin B1 and B6. Milk can boost one’s mood. Since it was close to noon, she gave her a carton of oat milk.
The medical students present: “…”
We crowded in here to eat “melons” (gossip) and watch a big drama, not to watch you feed the School Beauty. If it weren’t for wanting to know the aftermath, who would be willing to watch this idol-drama segment on an empty stomach?
“It’ll start in a second, the main show is beginning.” Lu Lingzhi then pulled out… a white portable megaphone.
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, she skillfully flipped the switch and tested the sound: “Hello? Hello, hello? Can you hear me? How are you, friends in the back row?”
The booming voice of the megaphone echoed through the hallway, its effect comparable to a street performer. The scene instantly became both hilarious and captivating.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the Med School, handsome guys and beautiful girls, brothers and sisters, step right up and don’t miss out.” The megaphone amplified her next words clearly, ringing through the entire corridor: “I am selling ‘Big Melons’ here, Big Melons. They aren’t 999, not 199, not even 9.9. Just give me five minutes of your time, and I guarantee it’ll be the best entertainment before National Day. It’s too crowded here, if you want to hear more, head to the Lecture Hall.”
The professor for this period was about to leave when he suddenly saw a crowd of students flooding back in. There were several times more people than during his usual lectures, an estimated several hundred.
Lu Lingzhi connected her phone to the big screen via Bluetooth.
She nimbly climbed onto an empty desk, standing high above like a superstar on stage: “Everyone! Do you want to know what really happened that night at the Cloud Top Hot Spring Hotel? Do you want to know why your Student Union President, Jian Cheng, ended up in the police station? Do you want to know if Jiang Mingyue is truly what the rumors say? I will use the simplest language to enlighten you.”
These three questions instantly dialed everyone’s curiosity up to the maximum.
The entire classroom went silent. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed squarely on the girl on the podium, bright, flamboyant, outrageous, yet inexplicably magnetic.
Lu Lingzhi stood on the desk, basking in the spotlight. Seeking attention? Knowing how to draw an audience? When the Second Young Lady Lu takes action, it is, of course, a textbook performance.
Chang Xi, who had just finished arranging the National Day on-campus schedule, sat down in her office. She was thinking about whether to ask Lu Lingzhi and Jiang Mingyue out for a meal.
Better not. If people found out about their relationship, it would only add trouble for Jiang Mingyue.
Out of habit, she took out her phone to scroll through the news for a few minutes to relax. Just as she opened TikTok (Douyin), an unexpected live-stream notification popped up from her following list.
The account: [Your Most Adorable Little Deer].
Chang Xi froze for a moment. Bao’er (Lu Lingzhi)? Doesn’t her TikTok account famously have only 800 “zombie” followers that she bought on Taobao? Why is she starting a live stream?
Driven by curiosity, Chang Xi clicked in. The environment looked so familiar, isn’t this the Med School’s lecture hall? Why was the live room being bombarded?
Before she could react, the entire screen was completely submerged in a frantic surge of donation effects.

[AAA Chip King]: @LNZ, you still coming? I’ve got plenty of Carnivals ready. The #1 spot on the leaderboard is mine. I don’t like ‘returnees’ like you. It’s the middle of the night in the US right now and you’re not sleeping? You’re clearly an improper person, a little delinquent girl.
[LNZ]: You’re sick.
[AAA Chip King]: I’m an old Ferrari, you’re really not worthy of the host. Go wash up and sleep; you’re not welcome here.
[LNZ]: In this stream, besides the host, I have the most right to speak.
[AAA Chip King]: Give it a rest. I have the most right to speak. You’re throwing yourself at the host and you can’t even get through the front door of her house. You’re not worthy.
The entire live room was boiling! The comment section was scrolling so fast you couldn’t even read the words, it was just a blur of “AAAAHHH,” “Holy crap,” “Which immortals are fighting?” and “Rich lady/Rich guy, look at me!”
Chang Xi was stunned by this display. She looked closely at the two IDs that seemed to be in a bidding war, throwing money like crazy.
One was LNZ. She tapped the profile; the IP address showed the United States. It was definitely Lu Ningzhi. This was the first time she’d seen Lu Ningzhi called a “delinquent girl” someone was trying to snatch her sister away. People said “Bao’er” was tsundere and said the opposite of what she meant, but look at her older sister, she’s the real deal.
You feel bad for your sister, so you give her 3,000 in pocket money. As soon as your sister goes live, you rush in to smash down millions.
When the sisters were home, “Bao’er” would chant that speech every day about the “struggle for the heirship.” “Sister, one day, I will make you leave this house with your cat, your stocks, and your funds.” These two are really something.
Then what was the deal with the other one? The other, AAA Chip King, was a brand-new account with an IP in the Capital. The avatar was a glitzy anime character with a “pigeon egg” diamond on its finger that was blinding.
This person had thrown over a million. Are they crazy? Could they have fallen for “Bao’er’s” beauty?
AAA Chip King became Bao’er’s #1 fan on the leaderboard. Lu Ningzhi (LNZ) became the #2 fan.
Honestly, looking at this situation, Chang Xi felt like she’d be doing Bao’er a disservice if she didn’t throw something in. She checked Rich Flowers Blooming, that was Jiang Mingyue’s mother’s alt-account.
Fine. Chang Xi threw 10 Carnivals. For now, she became Bao’er’s #3 fan.
Only then did Chang Xi finally have a chance to pull her eyes away from the crazy special effects and glance at the real-time viewer count in the top right corner: 100,000.
Suddenly, she realized who AAA Chip King was. It was him! Unbelievable. He mistook Lu Ningzhi for one of Bao’er’s suitors. Pulling an all-nighter makes you a “delinquent girl”?
On screen, Lu Lingzhi picked up her megaphone…
