After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 33

In the infirmary, the doctor and Zhang Wen were present, while Uncle Liu stood nearby. He brought a stool for Cheng Jianli and said gently, “Teacher Cheng, please have a seat here.”

Cheng Jianli shook her head. “Uncle Liu, you should sit instead.”

“It’s alright, I need to call the chairman later,” Uncle Liu replied. “The doctor said the cause of the young miss’s fainting is still unclear, so it’s better to observe her in the infirmary. With the teacher and doctor here, I’ll return to the villa to fetch some clean clothes for her.”

Zhang Wen asked the doctor about Jiang Muyan’s condition. The doctor answered, “Her breathing is stable now. It might be due to exhaustion or extreme agitation causing physical discomfort. I’ll take her temperature. Family members should stay with her until she wakes up.”

“Teacher Zhang, thank you for coming. You can go back now,” Uncle Liu turned and said. “I’ll contact you if there are any changes with the young miss.”

With unfinished business at the academic affairs office, Zhang Wen indeed needed to return. The “cheating incident” wasn’t fully resolved yet. She said to Cheng Jianli, “Cheng Jianli, I understand everything that happened today. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely ensure justice is served for you.”

Cheng Jianli nodded slightly. “Thank you, teacher.”

Zhang Wen continued, “The academic affairs office won’t tolerate students who frame their classmates. Xiao Lei will definitely face expulsion.”

Hearing this, Cheng Jianli asked, “Teacher, what about Zhang Siyuan?”

“That’s still unclear, but I believe his punishment won’t be light either,” Zhang Wen replied.

“Alright,” Cheng Jianli said. “I’ll wait patiently for the notice.”

Zhang Wen then asked, “Will you be continuing with the afternoon exams?”

Cheng Jianli looked at Jiang Muyan lying on the hospital bed. The girl was sleeping peacefully, her pale face tinged with a faint flush from earlier agitation. Her lips were slightly dry but still retained their soft, rosy hue. Her fluffy hair added an inexplicable touch of cuteness and playfulness.

“Teacher, I haven’t recovered from this morning’s events yet. May I stay here with Jiang Muyan?” Cheng Jianli asked.

Zhang Wen thought it reasonable being falsely accused of cheating during official exams would be a heavy blow for any high school student.

She nodded and comforted Cheng Jianli, “Then rest well. You don’t need to take the afternoon exams. Go home early today. I’ll definitely inform you about the disciplinary actions against Zhang Siyuan and Xiao Lei.”

Cheng Jianli responded with an “Mm,” then added, “Goodbye, teacher.”

“Goodbye,” Zhang Wen replied.

Zhang Wen and the doctor left together. Seeing the homeroom teacher depart, Uncle Liu went over to feel Jiang Muyan’s forehead. “The young miss doesn’t seem to have a fever now, but why would she suddenly have trouble breathing and faint today?”

After some thought, Cheng Jianli said, “I’m not sure either. Jiang Muyan has had similar episodes a few times before, but she always told me it was nothing.”

“This has happened before?” Uncle Liu frowned. “I’ll ask the young miss about it when she wakes up, so the chairman and madam won’t worry.”

After a moment of silence, Cheng Jianli asked, “Uncle Liu, did Jiang Muyan come here directly from the hospital today?”

“Yes, the young miss was having breakfast at the hospital when she suddenly received a message. She even pulled out her IV drip gave me quite a scare,” Uncle Liu said. “She said you were in trouble at school and insisted I rush her to Hongchuan Seventh High School immediately. That’s how we ended up here.”

“And the lawyer was…?”

“The lawyer was also brought by the young miss. She said she didn’t want you to suffer any losses,” Uncle Liu’s voice sounded gentle. “Teacher Cheng, you’ve had a rough day today.”

“Not at all,” Cheng Jianli shook her head. “I’m very grateful to you all.”

Uncle Liu said, “Rest here for a while, Teacher Cheng. I’ll go back first to get some clean clothes for the young miss.”

Hearing Uncle Liu was leaving, Cheng Jianli stood up: “Let me see you out, Uncle Liu.”

“No need. You were framed by two scoundrels today you must be feeling awful,” Uncle Liu replied. “The car’s in the garage; I can manage on my own.”

Indeed. Though the innocent need no defense, without Jiang Muyan today, Cheng Jianli truly wouldn’t have known what to do.

It seemed Jiang Muyan’s promise of “I’ll protect you” was being fulfilled in real time.

Cheng Jianli politely bid farewell: “Goodbye, Uncle Liu.”

“Goodbye, Teacher Cheng,” Uncle Liu smiled. “Once the young miss recovers, you’ll need to come continue her tutoring at home.”

Medical Room.

After what felt like an eternity, Jiang Muyan caught a familiar, rich mango scent and groggily opened her eyes.

Amidst the darkness, starlight-like glimmers appeared in her gaze. Rubbing her head, she heard the system’s voice: [Beep beep, system rebooting…]

Had she been unconscious so long that even the system needed to restart?

Jiang Muyan slowly sat up, her mind recalling what had happened earlier, Xiao Lei and Zhang Siyuan had framed Cheng Jianli for cheating. She’d been so furious she couldn’t help punching Xiao Lei.

Then, from overexcitement, she’d hyperventilated and fainted.

Wait, where was Cheng Jianli?!

Jiang Muyan nearly forgot the most important thing. She was about to get out of bed when she suddenly noticed someone lying beside her.

The person wore an off-white school uniform with a high-collared shirt underneath, her hair simply tied in a low ponytail, carrying a faint, fresh fragrance.

Jiang Muyan blinked, making sure she wasn’t seeing things.

It was Cheng Jianli. She’d already fallen asleep with her head resting on her arm, completely unguarded. Her long lashes were closed together, dark hair softly framing her face, her snow-white cheeks looking irresistibly pinchable.

Jiang Muyan leaned closer, thinking she shouldn’t wake Cheng Jianli and should wait for her to wake naturally.

But as she moved nearer, that sweet, enticing scent grew stronger, emanating from Cheng Jianli’s nape. Jiang Muyan looked and saw a corner of a bandage peeling up.

Beneath it lay a thin, transparent “gel-like substance” on Cheng Jianli’s fair skin, even pulsing with faint traces of fragrance. Jiang Muyan froze.

What was this?

So it really wasn’t a tattoo after all?

An itch of curiosity took hold of Jiang Muyan, desperate to see what it was. But before she could touch it, she noticed Cheng Jianli’s earlobes rapidly flushing pink, followed by her neck, arms, and even fingertips blooming with a rosy hue.

This sudden transformation stunned Jiang Muyan. She watched as Cheng Jianli, without lifting her head, reached uncomfortably for her nape and pulled off the “bandage.”

The soft, transparent “gel-like substance” was now fully exposed.

The temperature there was astonishingly high, the humid and sticky pheromones continuously enveloping Cheng Jianli’s body. She lifted her face in a daze, her gaze hazy and pupils unfocused, her entire body burning with a feverish, languid sensation.

“Eh? Teacher Cheng, you’re awake?” Jiang Muyan, still unaware of what was happening to Cheng Jianli, asked cheerfully.

Waking up in this state, Cheng Jianli immediately realized she had suddenly entered the unique heat cycle of an omega.

In her understanding, an omega’s heat cycle typically occurred once every two months. During this period, omegas would feel their entire bodies burning up, experiencing extreme discomfort and restlessness. They would crave an alpha’s pheromones, desperately needing their scent to soothe themselves.

But as a fully matured omega, Cheng Jianli had never told anyone about her secondary gender. She had always relied on omega suppressants to endure her heat cycles.

For some unknown reason, her heat had arrived early this time, swift and violent like a tidal wave. Her mind was clouded, her lips glistening as if soaked, flushed a vivid red, and her breathing grew increasingly ragged.

She tried her best to maintain composure, but her voice came out hoarse and weak: “Jiang Muyan, this is the infirmary. There must be omega suppressants here, probably in the medicine cabinet… Help me find one.”

“Omega suppressants?” Jiang Muyan was completely stunned, her mind blank as she took in Cheng Jianli’s state.

Her first thought was, Wait, what’s going on? Could it be that my wife also has some kind of x-disease system like me?

Maybe it hadn’t manifested before because Cheng Jianli was always so composed, but after the morning’s ordeal, perhaps her emotions had triggered the symptoms?!

“Yes, omega suppressants. They must be in the cabinet…” Cheng Jianli had no idea what Jiang Muyan was thinking. She only knew she urgently needed her to find the suppressants.

A faint mist gathered in her eyes, the scent of her pheromones growing even more intense, now permeating the entire infirmary.

She had to get the suppressant immediately, or someone would inevitably notice.

“Hurry…” Cheng Jianli panted softly.

Jiang Muyan scrambled off the bed and began rummaging through the medicine cabinet. “Teacher Cheng, what do the suppressants look like?”

“The box should be labeled…” Cheng Jianli barely managed to reply before curling into a tight ball, hugging her arms.

It was too much, the heat, the unbearable need. She desperately wanted an alpha’s pheromones to soothe her, but the person before her had claimed she would present as an omega. Cheng Jianli lifted her damp eyes, watching Jiang Muyan’s frantic figure blur in her vision.

Jiang Muyan finally found the suppressants at the bottom of the cabinet. She grabbed one and quickly tore open the packaging.

The suppressant was designed to be compact for easy carrying, containing a potent drug that could suppress the heat cycle.

“Teacher Cheng, how do I use this?” Jiang Muyan knelt beside her, nervously offering the suppressant.

Cheng Jianli forced her damp eyes open to look at her, the corners of her eyes flushed red as if someone had roughly rubbed them with their thumb. Under that gaze, Jiang Muyan inexplicably felt her heart race.

Help, my wife looks so beautiful right now, how can she be this stunning?!

She suddenly wanted to…

A wicked thought clamored in her mind, but Jiang Muyan quickly shut it down.

Jiang Muyan! Stop lusting after Cheng Jianli’s body!

Cheng Jianli isn’t your wife yet, and she already told you she just wants to focus on studying. How can you still be thinking such indecent thoughts?!

Jiang Muyan kept reminding herself, while a faint blush spread across Cheng Jianli’s pale face. She reached out to take the omega suppressant Jiang Muyan had brought, intending to inject it into her own vein under the other’s watchful gaze.

But this heat had come too suddenly. She wasn’t prepared at all. Her vision blurred, and she couldn’t even align the needle with her vein.

“Jiang Muyan, help me…” Cheng Jianli’s calm facade couldn’t hold for long. Her flushed lips betrayed her tension. “Help me inject this.”

“Teacher Cheng, what exactly is this for?” Jiang Muyan snapped out of her daze, thinking Cheng Jianli looked like she’d taken some kind of strange drug. She was beyond worried. “Is this really safe to use?”

“I’m in heat. Inject this into my vein first,” Cheng Jianli’s voice was hoarse, her pheromones running wild, yet she still calmly explained the procedure to Jiang Muyan. “Then I’ll tell you what’s going on.”

Seeing Jiang Muyan still hesitating, Cheng Jianli had no choice but to speak again in a voice as soft as cotton. “Hurry…”

“Jiang Muyan, I’m really not feeling well…”

The next second, the needle of the omega suppressant pierced her vein, and Cheng Jianli felt the cool liquid enter her gland.

The scent of pheromones began to fade, then disappear entirely. A thin layer of sweat formed on the back of Cheng Jianli’s neck as she lowered her head. Soon, under the suppressant’s soothing effect, the restless, feverish emotions in her heart were subdued.

By the time she looked up again, half an hour had passed.

Jiang Muyan sat on the edge of the bed, her expression oddly conflicted as if she wanted to ask something but didn’t dare.

Cheng Jianli had finally returned to her usual composed state, though a faint, unnatural flush still lingered on her pale cheeks.

“Teacher Cheng,” Jiang Muyan struggled to find the right words, “are you okay now?”

Cheng Jianli replied softly, “I’m much better.”

Jiang Muyan scratched her head, eyeing the used suppressant syringe beside her. “Uh, you were acting really weird earlier…”

Cheng Jianli: “…Mm.”

She didn’t know why her heat had come early, nor why Jiang Muyan had to witness it. But even if Jiang Muyan knew, she wouldn’t go around spreading it.

She wasn’t worried.

Cheng Jianli wasn’t sure why she trusted Jiang Muyan so much. Maybe it was because Jiang Muyan usually seemed so innocent, so easy to fool. Even though she’d just beaten someone up this morning, right now, in front of her, Jiang Muyan had reverted to that pure, kind-hearted demeanor.

Seeing no point in hiding the situation any longer, Cheng Jianli was about to explain when Jiang Muyan blurted out anxiously, “Teacher Cheng, you’re not… involved in anything illegal, are you?”

Cheng Jianli: “?”

Jiang Muyan said, “You look like you’re addicted to something.”

Cheng Jianli took a deep breath and spoke expressionlessly, “You’re not suspecting me of taking drugs, are you?”

“Of course not,” Jiang Muyan laughed awkwardly. “I just thought the way you looked earlier…” She hesitated for a moment before finding the words, then said foolishly, “was really pretty.”

Cheng Jianli: “…”

Cheng Jianli said, “No, that was just a normal reaction for me as an omega.”

Jiang Muyan froze.

Omega? What was Cheng Jianli talking about?

Cheng Jianli continued, “Actually, I’ve already presented as an omega. Just now, I suddenly went into heat and urgently needed pheromone relief, which is why I acted that way.”

“You’ve already presented?” Jiang Muyan couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“Yes, I presented in my second year of high school, but I didn’t tell anyone,” Cheng Jianli said. “That thing on the back of my neck isn’t a wound or a tattoo it’s an omega’s scent gland.”

“It contains very strong pheromones that become especially potent during heat and tend to go haywire. The omega suppressant you just injected helps suppress it effectively.”

“The thing I usually wear is called a pheromone blocker patch. It prevents my pheromones from leaking out,” Cheng Jianli took out a new pheromone blocker patch from her pocket. “The mango scent you often smell is my pheromone.”

After the suppressant injection, the thin scent gland on the back of Cheng Jianli’s neck softened again, becoming less noticeable.

Seeing Jiang Muyan speechless for a long time, Cheng Jianli asked, “Do you have any questions?”

Jiang Muyan nodded eagerly.

Cheng Jianli said, “Go ahead and ask.”

Jiang Muyan asked sheepishly, “Teacher Cheng, can I touch your scent gland?”

Cheng Jianli: “?”

Jiang Muyan wasn’t angry that Cheng Jianli had lied about the pheromone blocker patch being a band-aid. Her focus was always unusual: “This is the first time I’ve heard of this. Will I grow one too?”

As she spoke, Jiang Muyan touched the back of her own neck, but it was completely smooth there was nothing there.

“Of course. Whether you’re an omega or an alpha, you’ll develop a scent gland after presenting,” Cheng Jianli explained. “But since you said you’ll present as an omega, you’ll probably go into heat every two months like me, so it’s better to keep suppressants with you. Today was an emergency for me.”

Suddenly, Jiang Muyan realized something.

Wait, she wasn’t an omega. She was going to present as an alpha!

But if she said that, her crush would keep her distance.

Jiang Muyan could only laugh awkwardly, “Thanks for the advice, Teacher Cheng.”

“Don’t tell anyone about this,” Cheng Jianli said calmly. “Tomorrow, I’ll bring an omega suppressant from home and put it in the medicine cabinet.”

Jiang Muyan immediately promised, “Don’t worry, Teacher Cheng. I won’t say anything you don’t want me to.”

Cheng Jianli said softly, “Thank you.”

“But won’t you feel terrible during your heat cycle?” Jiang Muyan continued, “I just saw you couldn’t even inject the omega suppressant yourself. I was so afraid I’d burst your blood vessels when giving you the shot.”

Cheng Jianli’s eyelid twitched at Jiang Muyan’s description. “…No, your hand was steady.”

Jiang Muyan let out a happy “Oh” and shyly asked, “Then, do you want me to help you with the omega suppressant injections from now on?”

Cheng Jianli: “…Absolutely not.”

An awkward silence fell between them, likely because they were both recalling how the other had looked earlier.

Cheng Jianli felt she had never been like that before, especially not in front of Jiang Muyan her cheeks flushed, her breath scorching, her limbs weak, her glands secreting an overwhelming, sweet pheromone.

It was all wrong.

Suddenly, Jiang Muyan broke the silence, her voice laced with concern. “By the way, Teacher Cheng, are you okay after this morning?”

Cheng Jianli looked up, knowing Jiang Muyan was referring to the incident where Xiao Lei and Zhang Siyuan had framed her for cheating.

“I’m fine,” Cheng Jianli replied.

Jiang Muyan’s face twisted with anger at the memory. “Those two are disgusting. Xiao Lei didn’t even care about getting another demerit just to frame you, and Zhang Siyuan is he really your cousin? People who enable bullies are even worse trash!”

“I should’ve punched Zhang Siyuan one more time!” Jiang Muyan declared firmly, throwing a fierce punch into the air. “Teacher Cheng, from now on, I’ve got your back. No one will dare bully you again!”

Jiang Muyan’s words were like spring rain, slowly melting the glacier in Cheng Jianli’s heart. Watching her furious expression, Cheng Jianli softly said, “Thank you.”

“If it weren’t for you today, I don’t know what would’ve happened,” she murmured. “Jiang Muyan, you’ve helped me so many times, but I’ve never done anything for you.”

“Who says?” Jiang Muyan looked at her. “Teacher Cheng, remember that time you whispered the correct answer to me when I was solving a problem on the board, and then got punished by the math teacher to stand in the back?”

Cheng Jianli remembered. It was the first time she’d ever been punished standing alongside a transfer student who had just joined Class 2.

“I remember,” she said.

“Back then, I thought you were really amazing,” Jiang Muyan said, rubbing the back of her head. “Teacher Cheng, you’re so kind and pretty. You come to my house every day to tutor me, watch me do homework, and even visit when I’m sick.”

“You’ve done plenty for me too!”

Hearing this, Cheng Jianli thought for a moment before suddenly speaking seriously. “Jiang Muyan, do you want to go to college?”

Jiang Muyan blinked, caught off guard by the sudden shift in topic. “Of course.”

“Are you serious?” Cheng Jianli asked. “If you are, I can help you.”

Jiang Muyan swallowed. “Teacher Cheng, what do you mean?”

Cheng Jianli explained, “I’ve been thinking, the only thing I can really help you with is studying. Right now, you’re ranked last in Class 2. But if you work hard this year, you might even get into the same university as me.”

“The same university?” Jiang Muyan’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Teacher Cheng, which university are you aiming for?”

“C University,” Cheng Jianli answered.

Jiang Muyan: “…”

Even with Jiang Muyan’s poor academic performance, she couldn’t possibly be unaware of University C only the top students in the entire city could get into this university.

Jiang Muyan: “Teacher Cheng, isn’t this goal a bit too ambitious…”

Cheng Jianli replied: “Is it?”

Jiang Muyan forced an awkward smile: “It might not be for you, but for me… it’s probably impossible.”

“I remember saying you’re smart at studying and can draw inferences,” Cheng Jianli’s cheeks still bore a faint flush, remnants from her heat cycle, “You can’t handle it?”

Can’t handle it?!

Jiang Muyan practically jumped up at those words.

How could Jiang Muyan possibly not handle it!

Nothing got Jiang Muyan riled up faster than Cheng Jianli challenging her. Immediately defensive, she retorted, “Who says I can’t handle it! I used to go all night with you before! How could I not handle it!”

Cheng Jianli: “?”

Jiang Muyan froze, then quickly backtracked, “Wait, I mean… I think I can handle it, hahahaha, of course I can handle it! What’s C University? I could get into ten of them if they existed!”

“Don’t joke about this with me, I’ll take you seriously,” Cheng Jianli gave her a sidelong glance. “If you’re serious about studying, we won’t do alternate-day tutoring anymore. I’ll come to your place every day after school. You’ll need to finish both your school assignments and the extra work I give you.”

“And no weekends off either. You’ve fallen too far behind, we’ve only covered basics so far,” Cheng Jianli continued. “College entrance exams test more than just fundamentals they test advanced concepts too. If you want into C University, you’ll need to master those as well.”

“Can you handle studying until 3 AM?” Cheng Jianli asked. “That’s usually when I’m at my best.”

“Studying until 3 AM?!” Jiang Muyan was shocked.

Cheng Jianli said, “People with good grades always put in the effort. True geniuses are rare, I don’t consider myself one.”

After hearing this, Jiang Muyan said sincerely, “Teacher Cheng, I really admire you.”

“So, can you do it too? If you can, we’ll both stay up until 3.”

“Stay up together?” Jiang Muyan blinked.

Seeing she’d conveniently ignored the middle part, Cheng Jianli frowned slightly. “I mean going to sleep at 3 AM together. The emphasis is on the timing.”

Jiang Muyan let out a disappointed “Oh,” rubbing her nose with an awkward chuckle. “I thought you meant we’d be living together, Teacher Cheng.”
