After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 48
Cheng Jianli said, “Forget it.”
Jiang Muyan immediately pulled a long face. “Why? Teacher Cheng, are you disdainful of me?”
The corner of Cheng Jianli’s mouth twitched. “This position is really strange, you know that?”
Jiang Muyan said innocently, “It’s not strange at all. If you’re tired, just lie down for a while. I don’t mind your weight.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
Jiang Muyan continued on her own, “But you should be quite light. Look how slender your arms are.” As she spoke, she reached out to touch Cheng Jianli’s arm, her delicate, pale arm could be completely encircled by Jiang Muyan’s grip. “You’re so slim, Teacher Cheng. I’ll have Uncle Liu prepare lots of delicious food for you later. You’ll definitely get stronger.”
Cheng Jianli said, “Why would I need that much strength?”
Jiang Muyan replied, “With more strength, you could be as amazing as me!” She threw a few punches into the air, excitedly adding, “If there’s any danger, I could take on ten people with one punch.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
You mean tearing people’s clothes apart on the spot?
“It’s fine,” Cheng Jianli turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window and said softly, “I have you to protect me, don’t I?”
Jiang Muyan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately grinned foolishly and agreed, “Yeah, I’ll protect you.”
Then she raised the glass partition and earnestly said to Uncle Liu, “Uncle Liu, don’t you also think Teacher Cheng is too thin?”
Uncle Liu, unaware of their earlier conversation, simply answered Jiang Muyan’s question. “Compared to you, young miss, she is indeed a bit thin.”
“Then when Teacher Cheng comes to our house, make lots of delicious food for her,” Jiang Muyan said. “Cook bone broth for her every meal.”
Uncle Liu mused, “Then I’ll go back and consult a nutritionist for a meal plan.”
Cheng Jianli found this excessive. Calmly, she said, “That’s not necessary, Uncle Liu. Regular meals are fine. Besides, I’m mainly there to tutor Jiang Muyan.”
Uncle Liu gave Jiang Muyan a troubled look.
Jiang Muyan immediately turned her head and said, “No way. I’m afraid you’ll die of frustration tutoring me.”
Cheng Jianli fell silent for half a second, recalling Jiang Muyan’s math and science scores. “…You do have some self-awareness.”
The Bentley soon arrived at the edge of the alley. Uncle Liu glanced around and said, “It’s not convenient to drive in here. I’ll find a place to park. You two go ahead first.”
Jiang Muyan nodded and accompanied Cheng Jianli out of the car.
Cheng Jianli said, “My place is a bit small. It’s on the second floor.”
Jiang Muyan replied, “That’s fine.” Her steps grew lighter. “Come to think of it, I’ve never been to your home before.”
Cheng Jianli said, “Mm. You’re the first classmate to come over.”
Jiang Muyan froze. “I’m the first?”
Cheng Jianli said, “Yes.”
Jiang Muyan’s expression visibly brightened, as if the words “the first” held some magical power. She asked, “None of your other friends have been over? Like Gu Xi or anyone?”
Cheng Jianli said, “No one else. I don’t have many friends.” She frowned slightly as she spoke. “And you really like comparing yourself to Gu Xi. Is this some alpha instinct of yours?”
Jiang Muyan said, “I haven’t even presented yet, Teacher Cheng.”
Cheng Jianli said, “But you really will present as an alpha in the future.”
Jiang Muyan recalled when she first met her wife back then, her wife was still grading Gu Xi’s exam papers. She immediately pouted unhappily, “Who told you to secretly tutor her behind my back?”
Cheng Jianli thought for a long moment before remembering the incident at the milk tea shop over two months ago. She said, “How can you still remember something like this for so long?”
Jiang Muyan retorted stubbornly, “I remember everything related to you for a long time!”
Cheng Jianli fell silent, then replied, “I hope you could use that memory for something else, like memorizing English vocabulary or ancient poetry.”
The two entered the apartment building and walked up the worn-out stairs. Jiang Muyan felt her heart racing with excitement.
Truthfully, she really wanted to see what her wife’s home looked like. After all, she had only ever seen Cheng Jianli at school never in her personal space.
Uncle Liu texted Jiang Muyan, saying he was going out to buy some cardboard boxes to help Cheng Jianli move and would return later.
Cheng Jianli was already standing in front of Unit 201 on the second floor. She took out her keys from her backpack and said, “What are you standing there for? Aren’t you coming?”
Jiang Muyan finished replying to the message and immediately rushed over.
Cheng Jianli opened the door, revealing a black doormat with two pairs of white sneakers neatly placed on top.
Following behind her, Jiang Muyan couldn’t help but glance around. Her first impression was how clean and tidy the room was, with a faint, pleasant fragrance lingering in the air.
Turning her head, Jiang Muyan spotted a transparent vase on the coffee table, holding delicate flowers with a subtle scent.
“Teacher Cheng, your home is so cozy,” Jiang Muyan said as she changed her shoes at the entrance, “and the flowers are really pretty too.”
Cheng Jianli replied, “Mhm. Since there’s not much to do at home besides studying, I just take care of some plants.”
“I don’t have many belongings,” Cheng Jianli added. “I can finish packing soon. You can just sit there and play on your phone for a bit.”
Jiang Muyan insisted, “I’ll help you pack. I came here to organize things with you.”
After a brief pause, Cheng Jianli nodded. “Alright, then I’ll start taking things out first.”
So Jiang Muyan sat on the living room sofa, waiting. Just then, her group chat kept buzzing with notifications. She opened it, it was the fan group for her and Cheng Jianli’s “couple.”
[OMG, did anyone see what happened this morning? Cheng Jianli’s dad and uncle are seriously the worst!]
[I saw it! Her dad favors sons over daughters, disgusting!]
[Zhang Siyuan not only framed someone for cheating but also demanded Teacher Cheng buy him a house. How shameless can someone be?]
[Right? Thank goodness Young Miss Jiang stood up for her.]
[Jiang Muyan is so badass! Always protecting her wife, uwu!]
Scrolling further, the conversation gradually derailed.
[I’m dying, the photo of Young Miss tearing her sleeve is spreading on the forums.]
[I saw it too! Jiang Muyan’s strength is insane, even the dean was shocked on the spot.]
[I’m laughing my ass off…]
[Suggest tearing Teacher Cheng’s clothes tonight. Would love to see that.]

Jiang Muyan: “…”
She silently closed her phone.
Ever since joining this group, she realized these shippers could get really out of hand.
Tear her wife’s clothes?
Well, she had done it before but that was only because Cheng Jianli was working overtime at the research institute, and she had gone there to find her.
Seeing her wife in a lab coat and goggles was just too alluring and beautiful, Jiang Muyan couldn’t resist itching to try the same look.
So she forcibly pulled the lab coat off Cheng Jianli, accidentally tearing it in the process.
This scene was witnessed by their colleagues at the research institute, who assumed Jiang Muyan wouldn’t even let Cheng Jianli go at work. Cheng Jianli had to explain for a long time before finally giving up.
Fortunately, Cheng Jianli wasn’t angry. She just silently changed into another coat and stopped wearing work attire afterward.
Thinking of this, Jiang Muyan shook her head vigorously wait, Cheng Jianli wasn’t her wife yet! How could she possibly tear her clothes off?!
She had promised to keep her thoughts pure about her.
Jiang Muyan reminded herself sternly absolutely no lewd thoughts about her wife!
Just then, Cheng Jianli came out of the room carrying a few bags of books. Seeing Jiang Muyan sitting on the sofa with a conflicted expression, she asked curiously, “What are you thinking about?”
Jiang Muyan snapped out of it at the sound of her voice. “Nothing…” She looked up and saw that Cheng Jianli had changed out of her school uniform, now wearing a simple white cotton T-shirt and plain gray shorts that revealed her pale, slender calves.
Jiang Muyan scratched her head and couldn’t help murmuring, “Teacher Cheng, you look so… homey.”
Cheng Jianli: “?”
Jiang Muyan chuckled sheepishly. “I just think you look really good.”
Cheng Jianli said, “It’s a cheap T-shirt, three for twenty yuan. Do you want one?”
Jiang Muyan replied earnestly, “On you, three for twenty looks like three for twenty thousand.”
Though exaggerated, Jiang Muyan’s compliments were always sincere, never coming across as flattery. Cheng Jianli asked softly, “Really?”
Jiang Muyan nodded eagerly. “Absolutely! So clean and fresh! There’s this poem, how does it go? ‘Unsoiled by mud, unstained by ripples’… It suits you perfectly.”
Cheng Jianli: “Hm.”
Encouraged by her reaction, Jiang Muyan happily continued reciting, “‘Hollow inside, straight outside, no creeping vines, no tangled branches. Fragrance wafts far, pure and upright, admired from afar but not to be toyed with—'”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
“Enough,” Cheng Jianli cut off her poetic recital. “Aren’t you supposed to help me pack? Come here.”
Jiang Muyan obediently hurried over.
“Most of my things are books. I only have a few clothes,” Cheng Jianli said. “I left the dress you bought me at home, no need to bring it.”
Jiang Muyan gasped in horror. “Why not?!”
Cheng Jianli replied, “No reason. I wear my uniform at school and just a T-shirt at home. Dresses are a hassle.”
Jiang Muyan sighed regretfully. “But I love seeing you in dresses.”
Cheng Jianli asked, “Why?”
Jiang Muyan answered seriously, “They make me want to protect you even more.”
Cheng Jianli said, “…I’m not a child.”
Despite her words, she still got up and returned to her room, pulling out the pale purple dress Jiang Muyan had bought her. “Fine, I’ll bring this one.”
Jiang Muyan beamed at the sight of it.
To be honest, she really liked this dress too. The length of the dress was just right, the waistline perfectly accentuated her figure, and the neckline elegantly revealed Cheng Jianli’s delicate, fair collarbones, it looked absolutely stunning.
Jiang Muyan praised, “Teacher Cheng, this light purple dress suits you so well. You look incredibly beautiful.”
Cheng Jianli lowered her gaze and saw Jiang Muyan sitting on the floor. From this angle, Jiang Muyan looked youthful and vibrant, her sleek high ponytail cascading down her back, her slender fingers deftly organizing the books.
What stood out the most was her fair, smooth face, adorned with a pair of strikingly clear and bright eyes.
Anyone who saw her would think she was innocent and easily fooled.
So, Cheng Jianli smiled faintly and said ambiguously, “Then I’ll wear it for you tonight?”
Jiang Muyan froze, then immediately blushed crimson, stammering, “W-wear it for who?”
Cheng Jianli replied calmly, “You.”
Jiang Muyan swallowed hard. “Really?”
