After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 55
Cheng Jianli: “?”
Jiang Muyan suddenly got excited: “No matter how you try to trick me this time, I won’t fall for it again.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
She seemed to understand what Jiang Muyan was referring to probably the incident in the bedroom where she had deliberately teased her.
She actually remembered it all this time…
Cheng Jianli thought to herself, It seems Jiang Muyan’s brain really is filled with too much useless stuff. Most people wouldn’t be able to follow her train of thought.
Besides, at noon today, she had only wanted to confirm whether Jiang Muyan was as innocent as she suspected despite often spouting flirtatious remarks, her true nature was actually quite pure.
The facts proved that as soon as she took the initiative, Jiang Muyan would immediately become flustered and hesitant.
Jiang Muyan, noticing Cheng Jianli’s silence but oblivious to her thoughts, continued cheerfully, “I just want you to know that I genuinely want to attend the same university as you. I’ll study hard.” Her eyes sparkled, bright and clear. “Teacher Cheng, I always keep my promises to you.”
Hearing this, the calm surface of Cheng Jianli’s heart rippled faintly once more.
It was like tossing a stone into an ancient well, an echo of anticipation reverberated in response.
Especially those words, I always keep my promises to you. Cheng Jianli knew Jiang Muyan was someone who honored her word.
So she pressed her lips into a faint smile and replied softly, “Mm.”
Jiang Muyan scratched her head sheepishly. “What about you, Teacher Cheng?”
“Me?” Cheng Jianli lifted her gaze, thinking for a moment. “I’ll tutor you properly. The goal we set for the last monthly exam is void now. We’ll set a new one for the midterms.”
She had already planned Jiang Muyan’s target ranking. “Make it into the top 100 of the entire grade. Can you do that?”
Jiang Muyan’s eyes widened at the mention of the top 100.
Wait, there were over a thousand students in their grade!
Her face fell instantly. “Isn’t top 100 a bit too difficult?”
Cheng Jianli countered, “You scored 120 on your math test. Don’t you have confidence in yourself?”
Jiang Muyan wore a conflicted expression.
Cheng Jianli added, “There’s a reward if you make it.”
Jiang Muyan froze, then exclaimed excitedly, “What kind of reward?”
Cheng Jianli smiled faintly. “I’ll grant you one wish.”
Jiang Muyan grew even more thrilled at this. Her wife was going to grant her a wish!
She immediately asked, “Any wish at all?”
Cheng Jianli replied, “If you ask me to buy you shoes worth over a hundred thousand, I definitely can’t afford that.”
Jiang Muyan said, “What are you thinking? I’d never make you spend money, Teacher Cheng.”
Cheng Jianli asked, “Then what is it?”
Jiang Muyan scratched her head. “I haven’t thought of it yet. I’ll tell you when I do.”
Cheng Jianli reminded her, “You’ll have to make it into the top 100 first.”
Jiang Muyan answered enthusiastically, “I feel like I love studying now! I can definitely do it!”
Cheng Jianli curled her lips slightly. “Good, that’s what I like to hear.”
Outside, the rain drizzled, and the overhead light flickered twice, pulling them both back to the present.
Cheng Jianli looked up and said, “Alright, I need to change. You got oil all over my camisole.”
“Oh right,” Jiang Muyan remembered Cheng Jianli’s clothes still had oil stains, she had come in to help her change into a dress. So she said, “Let me help you take it off, Teacher Cheng.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
That was completely unnecessary.
“No need, I can do it myself,” Cheng Jianli replied after a pause, then added another reminder, “I’m only wearing underwear underneath.”
Jiang Muyan said matter-of-factly, “I know, so I won’t peek. Don’t worry.”
This was pushing Cheng Jianli’s limits.
After all, Cheng Jianli had never even been to a public bathhouse.
Her ears turned red. “No.”
Hearing this, Jiang Muyan pouted. “Teacher Cheng, are you still mad at me for staining your clothes…?”
Cheng Jianli calmly replied, “I’m not angry.”
“Then why won’t you let me help you change?” Jiang Muyan said dejectedly. “I even buttoned your clothes for you in the bedroom before.”
It was true back then, Jiang Muyan had genuinely just been helping her with the buttons, without overstepping at all.
Cheng Jianli did trust her, but she still found this situation unbearably embarrassing.
Why was Jiang Muyan always so casual about these things?
Cheng Jianli stayed silent, while Jiang Muyan stood beside her, eager to assist. “Let me help you, Teacher Cheng!”
Cheng Jianli felt her back tense. The two of them were in the bathroom now, a cramped, narrow space where even the slightest movement could press her against the cold wall behind her. She had nowhere to retreat.
Outside, the rain grew heavier, its steady patter loud and clear in her ears, solitary yet unrelenting. Cheng Jianli remained silent amidst the sound.
Jiang Muyan, unsure what Cheng Jianli was thinking, called out again in confusion, “Teacher Cheng?” Only then did Cheng Jianli finally respond in a slightly hoarse voice.
“…Fine, go ahead. But don’t look.”
Jiang Muyan immediately raised her voice in assurance. “Don’t worry, even if you were completely naked, I wouldn’t peek! This is my most sacred vow to you!!!”
The ambiguous atmosphere shattered instantly. Cheng Jianli snapped back to reality: “…”
She asked seriously, “Could you please stop talking?”
Jiang Muyan: “?”
She didn’t dare say another word, though she felt deeply wronged.
Wasn’t she allowed to praise herself anymore? She was being so upright, so pure!
But when it actually came to removing the clothes, Cheng Jianli couldn’t help but blush. Jiang Muyan instructed her to raise her arms, and she complied as calmly as possible. The straps slipped off in an instant, tossed onto the windowsill beside them.
Cheng Jianli’s shoulders were slender, her back fair and smooth. The thin straps had left faint red marks along her skin, and the cherry pattern on her undergarments looked like delicate embellishments on cream fitting and lovely.
Yet Jiang Muyan seemed entirely unfazed. She lowered her head, meticulously adjusting the dress in her hands as if trying to smooth out its hem.
Cheng Jianli stood nearby, her refined features tinged with a faint flush. Without the straps covering her, the overhead light seemed softer, casting a warm, golden hue over her.
Her gray cotton shorts were still on, but Jiang Muyan was still fussing with the dress. Feeling like she’d been standing too long, Cheng Jianli was about to take matters into her own hands when Jiang Muyan finally finished adjusting the dress. Turning back, she noticed Cheng Jianli’s movement and teased shyly, “You’re so impatient, Teacher Cheng.”
Cheng Jianli: “?”
Jiang Muyan, slightly shy, whispered, “Are you getting impatient because I’m not helping you undress?”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
Suppressing the urge to snap at Jiang Muyan, she maintained her composure and said coldly, “If you keep playing with that dress, I’m going to freeze to death.”
Jiang Muyan scratched her head, suddenly realizing, “Oh, you’re cold? Then don’t take off your shorts yet. You can just change out of them under the dress later.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
It seemed her own preparations had been completely unnecessary.
Cheng Jianli’s expression turned utterly blank. She gave a faint “Mm” in response.
Jiang Muyan had her turn around. Facing the window, Cheng Jianli watched the dense raindrops slide slowly down the glass. Then, the dress was pulled over her head, enveloping her entire body.
Jiang Muyan carefully zipped up the back for her, patted her waist, and praised, “Teacher Cheng, you look so beautiful in this. I’d think so even after seeing it a thousand times.”
Cheng Jianli said softly, “Can you tell that from the back?”
Jiang Muyan happily replied, “Of course! With your figure, anything would look good on you.”
The pale purple dress indeed accentuated Cheng Jianli’s fair, snow-like complexion, giving her an understated elegance. The hem was embroidered with blue floral patterns, adding a touch of youthful charm. The cuffs were pristine, the waistline perfectly fitted flawless, without a single loose thread.
This dress cost 35,000.
Jiang Muyan had picked it out for her. Jiang Muyan had bought it for her.
Cheng Jianli pinched the soft fabric and coughed lightly. “You have good taste. The dress you chose for me is very pretty.”
Jiang Muyan admitted without hesitation, “Of course! My taste is the best!”
Cheng Jianli asked, “Should I wear this to your place later?”
Jiang Muyan nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes, wear this!”
Cheng Jianli smiled faintly, and Jiang Muyan’s heartbeat instantly quickened, her mouth inexplicably dry. Then Cheng Jianli asked again, “By the way, what were you saying earlier?”
Jiang Muyan blinked. “Huh?”
Cheng Jianli said, “What was it you just complimented me about?”
Jiang Muyan replied, “I said you’re really pretty and have an amazing figure.”
Cheng Jianli answered, “You too.”
Jiang Muyan rubbed the back of her head, bashful. “Not as good as you, though.”
Cheng Jianli: “? What do you mean?”
Jiang Muyan wore a conflicted, half-shy expression, making Cheng Jianli frown. “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Muyan said, “I’m afraid if I say it, you’ll think I’m a pervert again.”
Cheng Jianli teased, “What, did you peek earlier?”
Jiang Muyan glared at her, indignant. “Of course not! I didn’t look there at all!”
Cheng Jianli already knew, Jiang Muyan had been too busy fiddling with the dress to spare a glance.
She was just curious why Jiang Muyan loved seeing her in dresses so much.
Cheng Jianli asked, “Then what did you want to say?”
Jiang Muyan shyly murmured, “Do you really want me to say it, Teacher Cheng?”
Cheng Jianli calmly replied, “Go ahead. It’s not like you haven’t been a pervert before.”
Jiang Muyan: “…”
“I just think you look so pretty in just a tank top,” Jiang Muyan stammered, her cheeks flushing. “Your waist is so slim, your skin so fair, and then… that part is so round and soft.” She scratched her head. “It’s really cute.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
Cheng Jianli’s face instantly flushed red, knowing exactly what she was referring to. She pushed Jiang Muyan away, saying, “You’re really such a pervert. I’m leaving.”
Jiang Muyan trailed behind her with a pout, “Teacher Cheng, you were the one who asked me to say it. Why are you getting angry after I did?”
Cheng Jianli turned around and said seriously, “Just think about it, how would you feel if I said something like that to you?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Muyan immediately grew shy. “Teacher Cheng, you want to see me?”
Cheng Jianli: “?”
Jiang Muyan hesitated slightly before sighing. “But I only show my body to people I like.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
Jiang Muyan added, “If you really, really want to see, I can agree to it.”
Cheng Jianli’s beautiful face remained completely unruffled. “No, thank you. I don’t particularly want that honor.”
