After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 29.1
Cheng Jianli took a deep breath and spoke expressionlessly, “Sorry, how exactly should I lie down then?”
“No problem, just turn around!” Jiang Muyan said cheerfully.
Cheng Jianli: “…”
She turned to face Jiang Muyan, only to see the other girl earnestly kneading her arm while saying, “Teacher Cheng, your skin is really amazing, so fair and smooth.”
Cheng Jianli replied calmly, “Thank you, but I don’t need that compliment right now.”
“Why not?” Jiang Muyan looked up blankly. “Your skin really is great! I used to have milk baths forced on me by my nanny every day to get this smooth, but yours is natural. What’s that called again…” After pondering for a moment, she concluded, “Ah yes, born beautiful!”
Cheng Jianli felt that communicating with Jiang Muyan might be a waste of mental energy. She stood up and said, “Alright, I need to go do my homework.”
“You’re resting so soon, Teacher Cheng?” Jiang Muyan said regretfully.
Cheng Jianli asked, “Do you have anything else?”
Jiang Muyan sat up excitedly. “How about I show you something!”
“What is it?”
Jiang Muyan suddenly rolled up her sleeve. “Look!”
Cheng Jianli looked down and saw numerous red marks dotting Jiang Muyan’s arm, vivid against her snow-white skin.
“What happened to you?” Cheng Jianli frowned.
“Guess,” Jiang Muyan said shyly.
“…You’re not trying to tell me someone sucked on your arm, are you?”
“Very close!” Jiang Muyan beamed.
Cheng Jianli: “…”
Noticing her silence, Jiang Muyan asked curiously, “Aren’t you wondering who did it?”
Playing along, Cheng Jianli said, “Quite curious, actually.”
Jiang Muyan immediately blushed. “Actually, it was me.”
Cheng Jianli thought to herself, how could she have ever mistaken Jiang Muyan for an intelligent person.
“People might misunderstand if they see this,” Cheng Jianli said. “Besides, these marks are caused by ruptured capillaries beneath the skin, different from injection bruises.”
“Of course I know that,” Jiang Muyan said. “I was just bored and made them. My uniform covers them anyway.”
Cheng Jianli nodded.
“Teacher Cheng, do you want one? I can make one for you!” Jiang Muyan offered eagerly.
A faint blush spread across Cheng Jianli’s porcelain-like face as she turned away. “No.”
“You don’t like it?” Jiang Muyan looked puzzled.
Before transmigrating into this novel, whenever they were together, Cheng Jianli had always loved when she did this. On their wedding night, when Cheng Jianli said she had work the next day and couldn’t indulge, Jiang Muyan had rebelliously covered her in marks anyway. Over time, Jiang Muyan had concluded that her wife must enjoy the sensation of skin contact after all, Cheng Jianli’s gaze would always soften, making her seem so tender.
“Just rest properly while you’re sick,” Cheng Jianli said. “Don’t do weird things.”
Jiang Muyan thought sadly was this really weird? She’d left countless marks on Cheng Jianli’s neck and arms before, and her wife had never minded.
Cheng Jianli said, “I want to go do my homework now.”
Hearing this, Jiang Muyan didn’t dare disturb her any longer. “Then you should go ahead. I’ll just lie here a bit longer.”
After some time, the medical report came out, Jiang Muyan had indeed caught a cold from the rain. The family doctor examined the results and said, “Miss, I’ve already given your medicine to Uncle Liu. Take it tonight, and if your condition worsens or you develop a fever, I’ll come back.”
“Alright, thank you,” Jiang Muyan replied.
The family doctor nodded. “Then I’ll take my leave.”
Uncle Liu went downstairs to instruct the kitchen to prepare ginger soup for Jiang Muyan. Meanwhile, Cheng Jianli packed her bag. “You shouldn’t have tutoring these next few days. Your health is more important focus on recovering first. I’ll head back now.”
The moment Jiang Muyan heard Cheng Jianli was leaving, she panicked. “Teacher Cheng, you’re going already?”
Cheng Jianli said, “You’re sick, and I don’t want to bother you. Besides, the monthly exams are coming up soon. If you end up taking them with a high fever, it’ll only make things worse. So take care of yourself, understand?”
Jiang Muyan knew Cheng Jianli’s words were actually out of concern. “I understand, Teacher Cheng… but I really don’t want you to leave.”
“What would I even do if I stayed?” Cheng Jianli paused for two seconds. “Watch you give yourself hickeys all over your arm?”
Jiang Muyan frowned. “Do you really think they’re that ugly?”
Damn it! She was still hung up on whether her wife actually disliked “love bites”! She used to love them before!
Cheng Jianli: “…They’re not pretty.”
Jiang Muyan didn’t get it. Could it be that Cheng Jianli had never liked them in the first place and had just been silently indulging her all along?!
At this thought, Jiang Muyan’s expression instantly fell.
Noticing her change in mood, Cheng Jianli asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Muyan looked up, her expression like that of a dejected kitten. “Teacher Cheng… do you really not like it?”
“…Fine. Maybe it could feel nice,” Cheng Jianli admitted. “But I’ve never been in a relationship, and I’ve never tried it, so I wouldn’t know.”
Jiang Muyan stayed silent. After a moment of thought, Cheng Jianli sighed, set her bag down, and sat back beside her. “What would make you happy?”
Her tone was so gentle that Jiang Muyan felt her heart melt. She scratched her head. “Well… maybe you could try it on me?”
With that, she rolled up her sleeve.
Cheng Jianli looked at her exposed arm and said seriously, “Are you sure you want this?”
Only then did Jiang Muyan suddenly remember, Cheng Jianli was still a high school student! How could she ask her to do something like this?!
Right now, her wife’s priority was studying. She absolutely shouldn’t be filling her head with these kinds of indecent thoughts!
Jiang Muyan! Stop thinking about this right now!
After mentally scolding herself, Jiang Muyan quickly lowered her arm. “Actually, never mind.”
Before she could finish, Cheng Jianli said, “That’s too intimate. How about I just massage it for you?”
She reached out and gently rubbed the spot where Jiang Muyan had gotten her blood drawn, asking softly, “Does it still hurt?”
Jiang Muyan’s mind went completely blank. Where Cheng Jianli’s fingers touched, it felt like a faint electric current, tingly and warm, as if soft cotton had brushed over her skin.
Cheng Jianli did this without a single improper thought, her actions calm and composed.
For some reason, she always ended up doing things she never imagined when facing Jiang Muyan. Jiang Muyan constantly opened new worlds for her, yet Cheng Jianli found herself utterly powerless against it.
Seeing Jiang Muyan unresponsive, Cheng Jianli asked again, “Are you feeling better now?”
Jiang Muyan snapped out of her daze, filled with frustration.
Her wife’s unconscious actions were simply too lethal to her heart!
To avoid being found out, Jiang Muyan quickly straightened her school uniform. “I’m much better now.”
“Mm,” Cheng Jianli didn’t notice anything amiss and simply said, “Actually, ruptured capillaries can be dangerous. You shouldn’t do that so often.”
Jiang Muyan dumbly replied, “Oh.”
Cheng Jianli said, “I’m leaving.”
Jiang Muyan offered, “Let me walk you out, Teacher Cheng.” As she spoke, she made to jump off the bed.
“No need. Rest well,” Cheng Jianli shook her head in refusal. “You can text me if anything comes up.”
With that, Cheng Jianli left the room, pausing briefly after closing the door behind her.
When she had touched Jiang Muyan’s skin earlier, an unusual sensation had stirred within her.
Soft, warm, and incredibly smooth.
Cheng Jianli could clearly feel the pounding in her chest.
How strange.
She shook her head and left the villa.
Class 4.
Zhang Siyuan was in an extremely foul mood after being humiliated by Jiang Muyan at the stairwell yesterday. He couldn’t focus in class and had been called to the teacher’s office for a scolding.
He didn’t come to this school to study!
Zhang Siyuan thought bitterly. He had already done his research, this school was full of wealthy students. No wonder Cheng Jianli had fought so hard to get in here. She must have been after rich connections!
Zhang Siyuan planned to cozy up to these wealthy students to pave his way in society later.
Besides, both his father and uncle had made it clear, they were counting on him for their retirement. If he built the right connections now, the family’s entire fortune would go to him, with Cheng Jianli getting nothing!
At this thought, Zhang Siyuan flashed a hypocritical smile.
He had a habit of splurging and had just bought a new pair of branded sneakers. A few classmates gathered around enviously. “Zhang Siyuan, those shoes are sick! Must’ve cost a fortune, right?”
“Six thousand two,” Zhang Siyuan boasted.
“Damn, six thousand two? Your parents must really spoil you,” one boy said enviously. “Mine would never buy me shoes that expensive.”
Truth be told, Zhang Siyuan’s family was slightly better off than Cheng Jianli’s. Moreover, Cheng Jianli’s father doted on his nephew, often giving him money, which Zhang Siyuan had grown accustomed to.
Zhang Siyuan said, “So what? I’ve got my eye on another pair that’s over eight thousand, and Dad’s gonna get me those too!”
Amid the ongoing chorus of admiration, You Xia returned to her seat.
You Xia was seated next to this new transfer student. They should have kept to themselves, but when collecting homework this morning, Zhang Siyuan hadn’t turned his in. As the group leader, You Xia had noted his name, which had infuriated him. He’d been harassing her all day.
“You!” Zhang Siyuan glared at You Xia as she returned. “You crossed the line! Don’t you dare cross this line again, got it?!”
After speaking, Zhang Siyuan forcefully drew a line on the desk with a compass, leaving You Xia with a pitifully small space. “Take your things and get over there!”
The surrounding classmates exchanged glances but remained silent.
You Xia was left with only that tiny portion of the desk. Rubbing her eyes, her naturally timid and weak personality prevented her from resisting. She could only silently take out her textbook to study.
Unexpectedly, seeing her lack of reaction, Zhang Siyuan loudly remarked to those around him, “Who are you trying to impress with this act? Studying every day yet still ranking last in our class! Hahaha, is your IQ just not up to par?”
A girl in the front row couldn’t take it anymore and turned around, saying, “Shut up! What does her studying have to do with you? Can’t you be quiet?”
Zhang Siyuan rolled his eyes and was about to retort when You Xia suddenly stood up and left the classroom.
Head lowered, she hurried down the hallway, but the draft wind made her eyes sting, turning them red.
Suddenly, she bumped into someone who carried a faint, pleasant fragrance.
“I’m sorry…” You Xia instinctively apologized, her voice catching in a sob.
“It’s fine,” Xu Yinghe replied, then frowned upon seeing her face. “It’s you?”
Hearing the familiar voice, You Xia looked up in surprise.
She never expected to run into Xu Yinghe here.
