After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 27.2
The moment she heard this, Jiang Muyan knew something must have happened to Cheng Jianli, who hadn’t returned for so long. She immediately grabbed Tang Yu, urgency in her voice. “Take me there, quick.”
The two rushed to the stairwell, where Jiang Muyan instantly spotted Cheng Jianli standing alone, surrounded by a few people.
The system’s voice promptly echoed in her mind: Beep beep beep! Host, be advised, male lead Zhang Siyuan has appeared!
So the transfer student in Class 4 was Zhang Siyuan after all!
Jiang Muyan charged forward, shielding Cheng Jianli behind her. “What are you all doing?!”
The Class 4 students froze at the sight of Jiang Muyan, and two of them wisely slipped away.
Zhang Siyuan, however, didn’t recognize Jiang Muyan and assumed she was just some nosy bystander. He snapped, “I’m talking to my cousin, what’s it to you?”
“Do you always yell at people like this? Where are your manners?” Jiang Muyan glared at him. “And who’s your cousin? Little Teacher Cheng, do you know him?”
Seeing Jiang Muyan rush to her side, Cheng Jianli felt a surge of confidence. Without batting an eyelid, she played along. “No, I don’t.”
Jiang Muyan, recalling how much disdain and bullying Cheng Jianli had endured from this guy in the past, was thoroughly irritated. “You heard her, she doesn’t know you. Now scram.”
Zhang Siyuan, thoroughly provoked, couldn’t rein in his temper. “You think I’ll just leave because you said so? I paid to get into this school! Who the hell do you think you are?”
“If you won’t leave, I have ways to make you,” Jiang Muyan said, pulling out her phone. “Hey, Dad, there’s someone from Class 4 bullying students on the stairs. I really can’t stand sharing a school with people like this. Can you tell the principal to expel him from Hongchuan Seventh High.”
Before Zhang Siyuan could process what was happening, a classmate yanked his uniform from behind. “How dare you mess with Jiang Muyan? Do you have any idea how many lab buildings her family has donated to this school? They even funded the back playground… You just transferred here today, do you really want to get kicked out?”
For trash like Zhang Siyuan, who came from the countryside, donating lab buildings and funding playgrounds was unimaginable. Now, taking a closer look at Jiang Muyan, he realized she did seem familiar like someone he might have seen in the newspapers.
Wasn’t she the heiress of the Jiang Corporation or something?!
Before Jiang Muyan could finish her phone call, Zhang Siyuan threw down a fierce remark, “You’ll remember this!”
Then he ran off.
Tang Yu peeked out from around the corner and said, “Huh? He ran away. What a coward. I thought I’d have to help you fight, I was all ready for it.”
Tang Yu, a clean-cut basketball player standing at 1.87 meters, added, “Alright, I’m heading out too, Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Muyan hadn’t expected Zhang Siyuan to bolt so quickly. She thanked Tang Yu before quickly turning to Cheng Jianli and asking, “Xiao Cheng, are you okay?”
Cheng Jianli replied, “I’m fine,” then asked, “Why did you come?”
Jiang Muyan reverted to her usual kind and innocent demeanor, wearing a serious expression. “Tang Yu told me someone was bullying you, so I rushed over.”
Cheng Jianli gave a slight nod but said nothing more.
“Who was that jerk anyway? Why was he bothering you?” Though Jiang Muyan already knew Zhang Siyuan’s identity, she asked again just to be sure.
Cheng Jianli was silent for a moment before asking, “Did you really call your dad earlier?”
“Call?” Jiang Muyan grinned. “Of course not. My dad’s busy at the company. If I needed help, I’d call Uncle Liu. I was just bluffing.”
Cheng Jianli said, “I thought you really had your dad kick him out of school.”
“It was an emergency. If I’d called my dad, he would’ve asked too many questions,” Jiang Muyan explained. “With bullies like him, a little acting is enough to scare them off.”
“Then who did you call?”
“My home landline.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
As they walked back to the classroom, Jiang Muyan noticed Cheng Jianli’s silence and grew uneasy.
Cheng Jianli seemed reluctant to talk about what had just happened, so Jiang Muyan hesitated, should she ask?
Watching Cheng Jianli pull out her textbook to preview the next lesson, Jiang Muyan’s expression grew even more conflicted. She leaned in closer. “Xiao Cheng…”
Cheng Jianli responded, “What is it?”
Jiang Muyan asked nervously, “Are you… in a bad mood?”
Cheng Jianli replied, “Not at all. I’m fine.”
“But you look really serious,” Jiang Muyan pressed. “Did that guy say something disgusting? Tell me, and I’ll go teach him a lesson right now!”
“What he said was disgusting,” Cheng Jianli admitted, a faint smile appearing as she saw how worked up Jiang Muyan was on her behalf. “But I don’t care about the filth that comes out of a dog’s mouth.”
Jiang Muyan: “…?”
Cheng Jianli: “Hm?”
Jiang Muyan blinked, then scratched her head. “Xiao Cheng, I never knew you could curse so fiercely.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
A faint blush spread across Cheng Jianli’s cheeks, like a delicate pink hue blooming on white jade. Before she could respond, Jiang Muyan added, “Can you curse at me too?”
Cheng Jianli: “?”
Before transmigrating into this novel, Jiang Muyan had never been scolded by Cheng Jianli because Cheng Jianli rarely lost her temper. At most, she would remain expressionless, her usual icy demeanor only breaking in those rare moments when Jiang Muyan managed to fluster her. And in those moments, Jiang Muyan loved seeing Cheng Jianli’s face flushed, her gaze dazed, completely lost in pleasure.
Cheng Jianli always looked at her with those moist eyes, the tiny tears clinging to her lashes wiped away by Jiang Muyan, leaving the corners of her eyes tinged red.
“Why would I scold you?” Cheng Jianli finally spoke, her earlobes burning. “Your request is bizarre, and… downright perverted.”
Jiang Muyan was baffled. “I just think it’s really satisfying when you scold someone! You’re usually so cold and barely talk, so hearing you say so much at once is kinda new to me, haha.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
Jiang Muyan pressed, “So, are you actually in a bad mood, Teacher Cheng?”
Cheng Jianli gave in. “Yes, I’m in a bad mood.”
Jiang Muyan grinned. “I knew it! I’m so smart, totally called it.”
A rare smile tugged at Cheng Jianli’s lips as she echoed, “Yes, you’re very smart.”
Seeing Cheng Jianli smile, Jiang Muyan felt her method had worked her wife was looking at her so tenderly!
She leaned in closer, whispering conspiratorially, “Teacher Cheng, I heard taking advantage of someone can make you happy. Wanna try?”
Cheng Jianli frowned. “Taking advantage of someone?”
“Yeah! Since you’re upset,” Jiang Muyan said shyly, “if nothing else works, you can take advantage of me.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
When Cheng Jianli stayed silent, Jiang Muyan rephrased. “How about you act like a rogue toward me?”
Cheng Jianli took a deep breath. “No thanks. I’d rather not end up in jail.”
Jiang Muyan insisted, “I’m volunteering!”
Cheng Jianli said firmly, “Really, no need. I don’t want to take advantage of you or act like a rogue.”
Jiang Muyan sighed dramatically. “Opportunity knocks but once…”
Cheng Jianli cut her off. “Enough. Let’s study vocabulary.”
Jiang Muyan fell silent, pouting inwardly. Her wife had just smiled at her, why was she upset again so soon?
Such a fickle woman.
After a few minutes of silence, Jiang Muyan couldn’t hold back any longer. “Teacher Cheng, I don’t really get this problem. Can you explain it to me?”
Cheng Jianli turned to her immediately. “Which one?”
Jiang Muyan pointed randomly. “This one.”
Cheng Jianli pulled out a red pen from her pencil case. “Come here and listen.”
Jiang Muyan obediently sat up straight, putting on her best attentive-student act. Cheng Jianli’s voice was soft, like a wisp of cloud, and Jiang Muyan found herself mesmerized until Cheng Jianli frowned and asked, “Did you understand?”
Jiang Muyan stammered, “Uh… kinda?”
Cheng Jianli chided, “No ‘kinda.’ That’s the worst word when it comes to studying. If you ‘kinda’ get it now, you’ll be lost when a similar problem comes up.”
Guiltily, Jiang Muyan said, “Sorry, explain it again. I’ll pay attention this time.”
Cheng Jianli nodded. “Mm.”
She patiently went through it once more, and this time, Jiang Muyan grasped it. Eagerly, she pulled out a similar problem. “Let me try this one.”
Cheng Jianli waited five minutes before Jiang Muyan solved it correctly. “Well done,” Cheng Jianli praised. “You’ve got the basics down pretty well.”
Jiang Muyan beamed. “Hope I pass the monthly exam this time.”
Cheng Jianli said softly, “You will.”
“By the way, Teacher Cheng,” Jiang Muyan suddenly said, “can I ask you a question?”
Cheng Jianli replied, “What is it?”
“Why do you like studying so much?” Jiang Muyan asked.
“Probably because my family was poor when I was younger, and there wasn’t much else to do,” Cheng Jianli answered without hesitation, knowing Jiang Muyan would never look down on her for her background. “Besides, high school students really should focus on their studies.”
“What kind of job do you want in the future?” Jiang Muyan inquired.
“I haven’t decided yet, but it’ll probably be something related to the internet,” Cheng Jianli said. “With technology advancing so rapidly, the internet industry will remain strong for a long time. I’m quite interested in it too.”
When Jiang Muyan first heard Cheng Jianli talk about the future, before she could speak, Cheng Jianli asked, “What about you?”
“I’m not sure, but whatever you want to do, I’ll be with you,” Jiang Muyan declared earnestly. “I’ll accompany you in everything you want to do!”
Though she knew Jiang Muyan might be joking, Cheng Jianli still felt a warmth in her heart. “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me, Teacher Cheng. I love seeing you happy,” Jiang Muyan said with a silly grin.
Cheng Jianli relaxed as well. “I feel much better now.”
“Really?”
Cheng Jianli: “Mm.”
Jiang Muyan then blushed slightly and smiled shyly. “Then, since you’re in a good mood, do you still want to take advantage of me? Anytime is fine.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
